Wow, I've been out so much over the weekend (well, for me it's a lot). It still feels rather strange, like I should be at home studying for something. What a relief to realise I have nothing due for the next three weeks.
So Friday consisted of my last exam, going out to the city and having Gloria Jeans coffee with uni friends, was originally meant to be meeting up with school friends but didn't, so went to Dymocks and bought lots of sheet music, because some of it was reduced to really cheap prices (best bargain was the music for The Whitlams' Love This City album, which had originally been $47.95 but was reduced to $2.00). Then in the evening the tertiary group went bowling for the last week of Glue for the term. (I'm getting better! I got 82 for my first game and 97 for my second! Without bumpers! :p)
Then on Saturday we went to the RICE leaders' preparation day, which probably deserves its own post...but what can I say? RICE is going to be AWESOME!!!!! While we spent some time getting prepared and planning the logistics of the two events, we were also reminded that ultimately the reason why we are doing this is so that the gospel will be preached to the youth of Sydney, and we are all working as one team. But what is it...like, 36 youth groups from various Asian churches around Sydney are involved this year...it's crazy! And the events will be held at Bicentennial Park and Town Hall!
Which reminds me, somehow I ended up putting my name down to be in the drama/skit thing that will be performed at the second event in Town Hall...it's just occurred to me that there's going to be over 1000 people watching that on the night. *Gulp* Maybe I should have just stuck with ushering >.< ...Oh well, too late now. At least it doesn't involve a lot more than marching in time and yelling things like "Sir, yes sir!" (we're a bunch of cadets). It's still a month away, I'll think about it later...hehehe. I think a more immediate problem is getting some rings and little bean-bags for the ring-toss and bean-bag toss games at the fete thing in the first week. Anyone happen to have any?
So after the RICE thing we went and hung out at Cerise's and ordered pizza and pasta for dinner. Can't remember doing a lot besides sitting around. Before this year I haven't hung out a lot with people from church, so I think now I'm starting to get more familiar with people and the whole *group dynamics* thing, kinda like the way you get familiar with people and the dynamics in a bible study group. And, I don't know...it's interesting. In a general overview sort of way, the people from church are quite different to the people I know from highschool (who are again very different to the people I know from uni). Which is probably stating the obvious, as this most likely has to do with numbers, age and the fact that half (more than half?) of them are guys. I could spend ages trying the analyse the dynamics within different groups of friends, but I won't. Moving on...
Sunday....that was yesterday. Yesterday was a pretty long day. Sunday school music in the early morning, then the first ever 11am English service at our Croydon Park branch church, then rushing back to Strathfield for a Sunday school meeting/free lunch :) And then met up with the others who were having lunch at Ashfield. And then we all went to hang out at Cerise's place. I don't know where the group of people from church would be if it wasn't for Cerise's place. Hmmm...where would we be without Cerise's? Lol....Burwood? The world just wouldn't be the same :P
Some people played tennis, checked out the gym, some people went swimming. Turned out to be slightly exciting as at one point we all got locked out of her apartment. So a few of us walked to Strathfield plaza and got drinks, and by the time we got back they had managed to get back in again. Later in the evening we watched this horror/comedy movie that was....well, gory and funny. But if I hadn't been watching it with a whole bunch of other people who were cracking up, I wouldn't have found it funny. Because I get scared easily and some of those scenes were just gross. What was it called...Shaun of the Dead or something.
Most people left after the movie, and I guess the night ended off on a sad note, as it was Esther's last night with us before she flew back to France *forever* today. Some people recounted the first time they met her, took some silly photos....awwww, it was sad. Can't believe she's been with us for nearly two years already :'(
Got to sleep in today for the first time since my exams ended, and bummed around at home. Holidays have officially started! And that means I can stress out about stuff that I couldn't stress out about when I was too busy stressing out over uni work. (You can tell I'm the type of person who thinks the glass is half-empty.)
(Actually, I beg to differ: the glass is half-full with emptiness.)

busy, busy, busy ;)
glass is half full with chocolate milk, chocolate soy milk :p
Yays for stressing on other stuff than uni! *cough* Oooh Viv's in a skit, remember to face the audience and don't turn your back on them. That's the only thing I remember. Otherwise have fun and learn much!
mmmm.... chocolate milk... hey pun, you said you had cadbury chocolate milk stuff you didn't want, right?
glass is half empty of coke, bin is half full of coke bottles.
deep. can something be half empty with fullness? or would that make it shallow?
argh! hidden track that i didn't know was on my cd just came on, after about half an hour. made me jump i can tell you.
chocolate soy milk a horrible perversion of all that is good in the combination of chocolate and milk.
no it isn't I swear it's nice it's nice
Speaking about chocolate milk, I gotta drink up the milk before it expires tomorrow, oops already past midnight.
Hum... let's see Max Brenner hot chocolate or Cadbury hot chocolate *decisions decisions*
Well, the thing is, you can be full with something, but it doesn't make sense to be empty with something...you'd have to say it's empty OF something.
So it could be half-empty of fullness. But half-full with emptiness sounds better!!
Have you tried malt soy milk in those popper-style things from Asian grocery stalls, they're alright...not sure if I've tried choc soy though.
Oh yummy! The Asian Vitasoy is so much better than the stuff they sell at Woolies, I love malt and the plain flavour, I once... twice... ok numerous times went through phases of drinking Vitasoy poppers, mmmm... was thinking of buying some but dad (earlier this week) said "No, don't bother, drink cow's milk, Vitasoy's bad". I replied "Ah yes, it's fresh and not as many preservatives." :(
Mmm... preservatives...
personally i think that seeing a glass as half full with chocolate soy milk is equivalent to seeing it as half empty
