Random rendezvous

So a couple of weeks ago two months ago, during the midst of the horrible stacks of assignments that uni has given us, Jess and I decided to go out. You know.. as a procrastination/rest and relaxation day :)
The plan was to go out, dress up a little for a day of fun in the city and take loads of pictures of everything, eat everything and shop for everything (well Jess did anyway, I'm not such a big fan of clothes shopping)

First stop: Sushi breakfast (not pictured) and Supre. The girls there were so lovely, especially this one blonde girl who really made my day. She was so bubbly and fun! She offered to take pictures for us and complimented my shoes (!) and she was dressed ultra prettyyyyy.

And I was somewhat kind of stalking her in the store because I wanted a photo with her. But being the antisocial anxious sod that I am, I didn't manage to ask her :( But by the time I almost gathered up the courage too, the supervisor bitch was like 'Excuse me, you can't take photos in our store' and asked us to delete the pictures we took in the store. Being a sneaky little bitch that I am, I deleted one photo and tried to hide the rest of the pictures I took in the store.

HAHA. Suck it, I still have pictures of your store. What now? -Level 10 Badass status acquired-

Then afterwards we had to eat, shopping makes you deliriously hungry. Well at least, for me anyway, I get hungry when I do anything. So we headed to Nando's for epic peri peri chicken.


Then after nomming and shopping some more (we shopped a lot, trust me) we headed to the Botanic Gardens to meet up with Jason. What a gloomy bitch, didn't want to take pictures = =

He also managed to snag free coupons for ice cream at Gelatissimo. Yaaaay :)



During our super leisurely walk around the bamboo forest in the gardens, Jason decided to be a bit of a dickhead and messed with a bamboo tree. And it snapped and fell = = Thank god not many people were around, it would have been embarrassing, but fun nonetheless.


Jason needs to quit studying Hospitality and become a porn star.


And then after our stroll through the gardens, Jess had to leave for class. So without any hesitation, Jason and I headed straight back to the city and dove into Target because they were having a sale on ponies. My Little Pony to be exact. I love them, I have an obsession.

And by total coincidence, we ran into Chan, Cindy and Tim who were looking for scrapbooking stuff for Cindy's make up portfolio. Apparently it was part of assessment to practice your make up on other people, take pictures and put them together as a portfolio and hand it in. How fun is that? I wish my assessments were more fun and required photography! But sadly, all my assessments require word counts and a huge reference list :(

But yeah, upon hearing this, Cindy was like 'Oh hey Leanne, do you have an SLR camera I can borrow?' And of course, I didn't exactly jump at the idea of letting someone else borrow the SLR camera (that belonged to my dad, mind you). But turns out, she needed a good camera for a makeup photoshoot for her portfolio that was due later that week. And she was super willing to let me do the photography!

So I was super excited about that, but turns out she expected me to model her makeup as well (Shock, horror. Leanne model? Bullshit.) And in the end, I didn't end up taking ANY of the pictures for the photoshoot, Chan and Jason ended up doing most of the photography #sadface But more about that next post!

But anyhow, the scrapbooking escapade at Target was unsuccessful because everything was kind of ugly = = So instead, we headed to the arcade and lost track of time.

It looks like we're gambling, no? Excitedly peering over the table, observing every movement, watching the dealers hands move. But nah, we were just playing Monopoly. (Even though it IS similar to poker D:)

Some random racing car game that allowed you to take pictures of yourself as a profile, Jason decided it would be cool to have a photo on photo inception. Hence him taking a photo of the photo. #yodawgiheardyoulikephotos...

Borderline homosexual picture. Get used to seeing these, Jason are in all of them.

Feeeeeeeeeeet. Guess which are mine?

Chan, pimp as usual.

Pornstar in the making.

Then after going to the arcade we just sort of sat around, loitered in the middle of the street. Just sitting, talking, catching up :) Yeah I know loitering isn't exactly the best thing to do ever, but everyone was just sort of too lazy to think of anything interesting to do and were about to go home. But then at the last minute someone said 'pool' and Cue City has had this sale going on ($8 per hour) and it was super cheap so we went there instead of going home :)

I repeat, pimp.

Then after finishing a few rounds, we didn't feel near enough lazy to go home yet and wanted to stay out late (being the rambunctious young adults we are) and headed to karaoke where we destroyed Queens' sound system with our loud rapping to 'Shots' by LMFAO. My ear drums died.


At some point, Cindy wanted to sing her 'nigga beats' (aka RnB) and Jason (being the butthole, that he is) decided to butt in everywheeeere. I feel bad for Cindy because all she wanted to do was sing (like a normal person) and instead she had a bit of a rage quit, but it was all for fun :)




After karaoke, I think it was about midnight, which is pretty late on a Tuesday night and we were HUNGRY (like me, writing this post, right now.) And went to Subway and New York Pizza for nibbles.

But instead we just sort of drifted around, talking and having fun as we go. So getting food took a lot longer than it was meant to :)



Gelatissimo was closed, but how GOOD does the ice cream look? I could use some of that right now.



And we took so long loitering around, it was amazing that we managed to actually order our food before the store closed. And having no seats, we (obviously) loitered around on some random seats on Queen St Mall. Because we're cool like that.

The next day, we went out to do Cindy's makeup portfolio photoshoot. Stay tuned, it'll come up in the next part :D

You can see what happened at the 'photoshoot' the next day here.
