twirl for me

heyyy there~ guess what? today is MONDAY and you know what that means? pay-alex-a-deposit for the formal stretch hummer thingy TODAY of which i did !

and ooh err

its rather trippy, this whole formal pizzazz. bah

formal buddies! i need one..where to find one... gawd, why are there so many i-wants involved? ..ahh oh well..

SUCK MY BALLS FORMAL

(that is if i had any, of which i dont)

loc isn't optionless... but ashen is .. maybe i'll say yes to him

but ..TONY! bah, this whole thingy is frikkin confusing as

ah forget it. i was gonna recap on this weekend~

went shopping with mother to look at formal dresses on saturday, i was literally bored shitless and trying on dresses was such a pain in the ass. found a nice purple on at wayne cooper (750, sale -> $400) and a nice one from Lisa Ho ($1500) and a really nice cream coloured lightweight soft luxurious dress from Cathy something something in wintergarden... ($700)

so after much quarrelling i decided to go to the formal and decided to get the pretty grape purple wayne cooper dress (which is uber versatile so i could wear it almost anywhere, even convertible to strapless/non strapless and sleeves/sleeveless and adaptable tieable ribbons..mm purty) but yes on sunday i went to the city to pick up the dress and met up jason

and went to buy the dress with him and yes it was quite strange.

the saleswoman was hilarious though

L: 'uhh.. i wanted to..show a good friend of mine for his opinion'

Saleswoman: 'oh you need a second opinion? where is he? i'll go get him! is he the boy sitting on the bench?'

L: 'haaha! yes i think so!'

Saleswoman: 'oh my, he'll think i'm completely crazy *runs off and drags jason into the store*'

*silence*

L: 'umm what do you think?'

Saleswoman: 'do a twirl for him to see!'

J:'....its great'

she was quite the woman, and i liked her very much

then i walked jason back to wherever he was meeting his friends, said a quick goodbye and tried to find a bus to QUT to get to the open day since... i was supposed to meet up with colin and tiana~

i finally found a bus heading to kelvin grove and asked the bus driver if the bus went to KG. and he was like 'uhh.this bus goes to the QUT busway, it'd be better if you were more specific' so i hopped on anyway

and just as i turned away from the bus driver this lovely girl on the bus who seemed to be a student there maybe? said 'you're on the right bus~'

she had black hair, plaited neatly to one side, pink flats, black and white checkered jumper and big sunnies - thank you oh so much! i owe so much to you because if you hadn't let me know i would have been stuck in the middle of chelmer somewhere, so thank you so much!

and thanks to the speakers and uni professors from QUT for all the helpful talk about the university subjects and courses - it really helped me get my head around things!

and thanks to jason for his awesome help on choosing a dress for the formal.. even though all it was was 'it looks great *thumbs up*'

but yes, after QUT for about 3 hours walking about and talking stuff out i finally made my way back to the city to have lunch at Tonini's at Broadway where i ran into one of mums friends! she was great~ we chatted, asked how she was doing, just the basics and greeted her once more before heading off to walk across that mega bridge to southbank

along the way i had to walk past the casino and as i crossed the road i heard this really melodramatic flute music playing over the heavy rush of traffic and it sounded absolutely wonderful ! i would've thought it was playing from a band or something from the casino? but turns out it wasn't! it was a busker sitting outside the casino playing a traditional chinese flute instrument i think

but nonetheless, it sounded great - but being me, i just walked past and enjoyed 10 seconds of the music

so then, i sat down.

and pulled out my wallet and walked back towards the asian guy with his chinese flute and put all of whatever that was left of my spare change into his brown cap and smiled

what a nice guy.

i honestly dont remember a day where i said 'thank you' so many times in my life so far

and i'm honestly saying, thanks to everyone who helped me out on that day because if it weren't for you i'd still be totally dumb about what uni courses i wanted to take and whether i was on the right bus to kelvin grove or not etc

thanks so much~

and i shall leave you with a few nice lyrics by Weezer~

You can’t find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And
I wanna feel it too

We’ll run away together
We’ll spend some
time
forever ♥

ciao!
