The weather is here, wish you were beautiful

I've been such a lazy blogger... but I can't help it! Everything starts off cool and novel (read my first blog titled "Novelty Newness" and you'll understand) but yeah, then it becomes a sort of responsibility. Its like painting the fence... :P
Anyway, David Jones aren't exactly the most subtle people when they want to get rid of you, I just realised. Last week, they gave me 4 hours of work and this week, none. That's basically saying "we don't want you anymore, you christmas casual!" *in an aggressive/insulting tone*. hehe that's a little exaggerated, but hey, they've forced me into retrenchment and I'm not even 18 yet! *sigh*
Ah well, this is a sign for me to splurge on shopping (of which i should stop already!) and to hang out with my friends before I leave for New Zeland and start uni right after. That's what I've been doing and its great fun!!
Last week, we went to the Maroubra beach (on tues) and basically built sandcastles with Jac's sandcastle making tools... ooo.. and reshaping Gaston's body into a beautiful but deformed (i use this word because at some point he had 4 boobs!) mermaid. it was heaps of fun except for the fact that nearly everyone was burnt and was peeling :S Not very good is it, Gaston? Danny was trying to be a smart-arse; decided he wouldn't need sun screen on his face coz he was wearing a cap. Well, did it work? Nooooo... so for all you people who are going to the beach, sun screen is the WAY!
ON thursday, we played badminton at UNSW :D So many people turned up! hehe and it was great working out (reducing BMIs) for three straight hours. But yeah, think about the few days after... AJ and I had trouble sitting and standing. My advice? Don't strain your body to the extent of hurting yourself!
hehe well, I didn't take much of that advice myself because the next day, we went to Coggee for the BS/DIGJC beach bbq! The waves were MASSIVE! Like to the point of being dangerous... the lifeguards were actually on duty ie. standing near the flags and gathering up people who were drifting away. But it was fun after you managed to get past the breaking point, which was rather hard, I must say. It was kind of sad though, that not many bs people turned up. Ah well, at least I brought AJ and Alyssa along :)
On Saturday, the stupidest thing happened!! OMG!! I cringe still thinkng about it :S My bro, Jason woke me up in the morning and said "wake up! you have church!" and so I did, and woke Danny up. We were extremely late I must add. So we drove... all the way to the city. When we got into the parking lot, it seemed really empty, especially level 4. But nothing occurred to us until we went into Wesley and tried to get into the theatre. Only then did Danny say "Its Saturday" as if he just got a revelation. ARGHH!!! We got home and there Jason was watching the OC. He laughed his head off when we told him it was Sat, not sun. Grrrr...!! The parking ticket cost $16 and we were out of fuel by the time we got home. Expensive mistake! So much for keeping track of time during the holidays!
So yeah, that's been my week so far. And there'll be more plans for the rest of this week! hehe shopping with Rachel yesterday was fun (although, I couldn't resist and ended up buying a scarf, jumper and a packed of 5 undies for $3 :D)
Until the next time I blog, toodles!!

Girls can paint too!

(The title comes from Irina who wrote on a Barbie dresss "Girls can do sound too!" and stuck it on the sound board in the Wesley Theatre) :D
Anyway, back to Meeeee....
I met up with Andy (Chin) today and we had a talk about leading DIGJC - the high school group at church. It was pretty interesting and flattering that while he was praying, my face came into mind.. like I just 'pop'-ed up. hehe.
So yeah, been praying about that. The only thing I'm worried about is losing out on Blue Sky events and people. I was really looking forward to being more involved this year and maybe even training up to lead. But DIGJC is in need of leaders atm. We'll just have to see what happens... and what God has in store for me :)
I couldn't be bothered going to the Uni open days and so went around townhall/george st, looking at pretty (highly expensive and unafforadable) things :) And then decided to come home. I eventually finished the second book of the Shadow series (this started from the Ender series by Orson Scott Card for all those who know about it). And yeah, fell asleep watching some chinese movie starting Andy Lau and Jackie Cheung. It was a gangster movie and I thought it'd be like the young and dangerous.. but it was a little slow and I had just eaten. So all the blood rushed to my stomach and I slept :P But only for like 15 mins.
After that, I got bored and started cleaning out my clothing drawers... sorting things I wanted to give away and folding the ones I liked nicely. I assure you, by the end of the week.. it'll be a mess again :)
And then decided to paint the house.. was at it for 3-4 hours... it was hard work!! Well, kinda looked like fun at first but yeah, my arm got tired after a while. When that was done, I went for a swim, had a shower and had a yummy dinner :D And now I'm here... bumming in front of the computer talking to Keith and some random dude who found me on Boredofstudies.org.
Anyway, enough blabbering.. I'm too lazy to write anyway. Toodles for now!
