Livin Da Life - Past Tense

y

Some ppl say exams and deadlines and shitty assignments bring out the worst in ppl. what with everyone going all grumpy and irritating and stuff. But what if some people just changed that all around?? this is a recap of a crazy 2 weeks that just happened, possibly one of the best ever in Ursies. wohoo! and that means music, food, friends, PARTAY!

24/8 Friday. Everyone can feel the stupid, stupid tension all around as the first week of exams begin!! its horrible!!! omgoodness. but then one brilliant guy (cheh, dont give him too much credit) decided to stock on
Tooheys and Strongbows and hold a crazy, once-in-a-semester, PARTY! wohoo!! unfortunately i didnt manage to get any pics from this event, but i stole some from the hosts blog (terima kasih!) and used those instead! According to our host, the party was to celebrate the beginning of exams! wat a crazy notion, but then it was great! aside from a few spills, like someones KEYBOARD and CARPET by our DJ Barney it was all great. most of us also came up with some chips. Someone also sponsered us a bottle of Kiwi Wine from Nz! who says NZ has nothing good? Talk about an auspicious drink to start the next crazy 7 days!! hmm more detailed info can be found at http://thebrownearth.blogspot.com/ and http://www.ex-rejax.blogspot.com/

And then the stupid week starts!! exams are killing everyone, with most of the exams finishing on wednesday. Xiu Qi was going back to malaysia (prob eating yong tau foo now!! sooo jealous!!!) so wanted to throw a party to celebrate END of exams !!

so its on the nite of 29/8 wednesday that they gathered in Barney's room and ordered pizza and had drinks and stuff.. Unfotunately for the author he had a STUPID, IRRELEVENT exam the next day!!! arghhh!!!! but then after going over that hemichordates have a rudimentary notochord for the 10th time, i tot, ahhhh its better to do something that will have better memories.

"Don't think of the consequences, but look at how this will make a perfect memory 20 years down the road " - Calvin & Hobbes

yeah, i get some inspirations from a comic book, but thats another story.
So anyway, i went over JUST when the pizza was GONE!!! noooooo!!! but then it was a great nite, cos there were like 11 of us packed into a tiny room blasting old school music pretending to be the coolest ppl on the floor (cos all the other nerds were studying lol) We played Indian poker and i lost (twice!) which resulted me in drinking some Mac Callen (again by the sponser of earlier kiwi wine) and DISGUSTING water from a cup.. (hint: neighbour, go CLEAN YOUR STUFF!! IT STINKS!!)..lol. but then again that was nothing to what other ppl had to drink.. lets just say i had the lesser of many other horrendous evils =) Jia Yun couldnt stomach drinking some orange Mac Callen and had to go to bed early... sad.. so then we had a blast and i had my exams...
which didnt stop me from going to Chicken Gourmet later for... chicken! they ran out of gravy chips!! noooo!! again, second time that nite got disappointed cos no food...

and the next day was 30/8, the Day of Bio Exam!!wohoo!! i think i better mention that my exam went well and no mishaps or anything, just in case my parents are reading this and get mad cos i socialised the nite before. sorry mom, dad! but really it was ok! i think... lol.

The rest of the day i was like a caged animal set free!! wohoo! but then again an animal kept in captivity always has trouble adjusting to the wild... so i also was like unaccustomed to the freedom i had.. i think i practically wasted the whole day doing...nothing. thats actually not so bad, but i'm a uni student!

That nite, we were celebrating Jia Yun's birthday! yahoo, another party!! so we distracted her in the games room, while the rest (i think 20+ others) sneaked up and surprised her! you can see the birthday girl in one of the pics cutting the cake =). then we moved to the brescia room for a food-infested, soft drink-invaded, party!!!!! i think you can see one guy in the pics with hands raised in joy or maybe hes just delirious....

Later on we were all going out to King O'Mailleys to celebrate!! wohoo!! one poor guy couldnt go along cos the next day he had exams... which was a good thing, cos NONE of those who went out went for class!! (me included!) I've got a few shots of the action ant O'Mailleys, theres one of Jia Yun downing a shot of tequila, and one of some male machoness overflowing =P
wohoo!! i think that was one of the best times i've had so far. not to mention that absinth i've drunk lol. but then like no effect one.... so sad!! It would take forever to state the 'news'that nite, but some of it includes, drunk ppl, free drinks (thanks Jilu!!), more drunk ppl, love triangles, THREE sad ppl (who incidentally were all pissed by the end of the nite), and happy times for everyone.
After that we went to chicken gourmet, to let the alcoholic effects die away. but i think it backfired cos ppl were all mabuk by the time we finished eating lol. at least Jason got his Chicken Gourmet he wanted! yea!

The trip back was CRAZY. we came back around 1.30, 31/8 Friday (merdeka malaysia!!) i think there was at least two mabuk ppl to one sober person. Mom, dad, if you're reading, i was sober! anyway it was quite a job, getting everyone back to Ursula in one piece. needless to say there were many, umm, incidents along the way. one of which has incriminating evidence lol (rats, i cant post the video in this blog...) haha... i think Jia Yun went back in a taxi because she could walk or something lol. You'd think she would have learnt her lesson from the earlier Mac Callen episode...Happy birthday, girl!!.

That day was like, recovery day... and a few ppl had to throw up (not always in the toilet!!) but in the end it was great. wohoo!

I think what Calvin said was true, in the end, these will be the memories that last, the ones that matter, the friends that are remembered...
