MCAC, and randomness....

Okay... today was a weird day. Nothing went to my usual "day plan".

I woke up at like... or tired to wake up at 5 AM to do my assignment. But I had trouble getting up. Woke up at 6 AM instead. Did my assignment until 12 then went off for MCAC lunch at 12. More people turned up at lunch today, uhh... me, Sharon (MCAC), Bernie 1, Bernie 2, Raine, Chris, Moo, Sandreep, Natalie, Max, Alex, Jason and Owen. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone out. Random things during lunch! Photos (cam whoring), commented on Raine's diet (Raine is SO DAMN THIN... like thinner then everyone else I know.. and she's still dieting. She was eating diet yogurt for lunch... but in the end she ran off and came back with a chocolate sundae, lol). Everyone else was eating fried chicken and fries and stuff, I was eating my mee hoon. Moo brought some of his recipes for the cafe we're planning to do... and yeah. Screenings next uhh....

More people at screenings. Like 30+ today. I met the new mystery member on our forums, our first African member (I think?), Junior! Yay, meeting different people is awesome! I dunno who why suddenly get these interesting characters appearing in our club at like.. the end of second semester. First Moo suddenly appears (he joined the club the day he found out about it, and criticised the club out loud on the same day also, lol, that's how I noticed it at first) then I meet Junior. Didn't talk to him much but he seemed like a nice guy.

After screenings.... EIL assignment consultation! ... I waited half an hour. Booo. Everyone else went to eat lunch together again after screenings, but my consultation was over 40 minutes more then what I expected to be (I managed to get out at 3 PM, I was supposed to be done by 2:20 PM. So yeah, by the time I got back to the Main Dining Room, it was only Vu, Bernie 2, Lee and Drue left. I should say the consultation went well... my crappy ass essay was actually complimented. The world is strange ... lol.. but yeah, we talked... and talked.. until 4 PM. Aaaah. My precious studying time. Of course, Bernie had it worse. I mean she was supposed to do her report and what was she doing? Talking to us for no reason. Our little lunch meeting was pretty funny. We talked about costumes and stuff also, since I can't really sew, hopefully Lee will help me with my costume next year (he finishes uni already but he said he's only working part time and will still help with our club). Why doesn't he want to work full time? lol I mean after uni is where you life really begins! And you should work full time to do that ... T__T

Anyway at 4 PM-ish we decided we should all go home and do something productive. So I was texting Amanda on the way back and she suggested to have our pot luck. And invite the GFN gang. It was all to celebrate thanks to V for always driving us around. I was a bit taken aback because I didn't really have much food we could cook for that many people. I normally only buy enough food for myself, you know. I decided to try another batch of batik cake, since I already had the ingredients which weren't getting used.

So yeah, after calling and texting people like crazy (my credit~ *sobs*... I have like $6 left, lol) at 5 AM I stuffed all the food into my green bag and went over to Farrer Hall. I immediately started making my cake since if I didn't we wouldn't be able to eat it by tonight. Amanda and Jia Chee helped out ... uhhh... and that took quite a while (yay frying chocolate again!). At the same time everyone started making the various dishes for dinner. It was funny, because we all didn't have much food to feed 10 people, just all this pasta. But no pasta sauce. So like... Jia Chee used her magic and literally made up two sauces out of nothing (one of them was like garlic, butter, spices, mustard and a load of cheese, hahahaha, it was good though). I did my usual pasta bake and the cake (actually I only did the cake though, I mean, the pasta bake, I chopped some carrots but Jia Chee did most of it, I cut the spam, Jonathan who we unfortunatley made him do work the second he stepped into the kitchen sliced the mushrooms and Amanda fried all the food and cooked the pasta). Just that a lot of the raw food was my food, but I didn't actually do that much work...

I thought we wouldn't finish cooking in time but we did... yeah, after my cake was done I just did my pasta bake. Uhh... we cooked too much veggies and had all this extra pasta, so Jia Chee used the veggies, the water from the veggies and a load of spices and stuff and made this yummy spicy sauce. It was good. Amanda was right when she said Jia Chee had this cooking magic, haha. Honey chicken we ovened was done, last thing was my pasta bake. Cake in the fridge. Yeah, then we sat there and waited for Tsan, V and Sharon to come over. By this time Brian and Mun Jone had came. Apparantly Han Lin and Winston decided not to come (I suspect cause me and Amanda scared them off asking them to cook something, lol, or it isn't much of a pot luck, but yeah, they had assignments so I guess it's understandable too). Tsan and V came and then Sharon. And yay, dinner.

I was complaining during dinner because there's this small TV in the Farrer dining area kind of and like... everyone was watching that retarded "Are you smarter then a 5th grader?" game show. Bah, this is why in media studies I read things like how TVs are evil because they further separate the nuclear family and reduce social interaction during meal times! Which is supposed to be one of the moments where you socialise with your family or peers or whoever you are eating with. Boo boo boo. After eating, we took out my cake. Brian brought over some date pudding. And V and Tsan brought over ice cream (and drinks). Yay, my cake was edible, I was a bit worried about that. And it looked better then my previous attempt, lol. Unlike last time, I baked this cake a bit this time (only for a short while though) so it was a lot more solid! I got compliements and praise *___*.

All the food made us REALLY FAT though. I mean we were like eating down cake, ice cream and pudding at the same time. After eating all that pasta and chicken for dinner, lol.

After dinner... uhhh.. Sharon was sleepy so she went to her room. Same with Mun Jone. It was me, Amanda, V, Jia Chee, Brian and Jonathan left. And we had like the most retarded conversations ever. I think everyone was waiting to see what I would blog about this.... well... Jonathan, who looked like a proper, I dunno about innocent but proper and decent person, kept going about pee, and crap (literally!) and whatever else. I dunno how we could talk about urinals for like half an hour. T__T I kinda can't remember now but yeah, we didn't exactly have the most... decent... conversations.... Jonathan just wouldn't give up in telling us girls the problems men face in urinals, lol. It's always like this with GFN people though anyway. No one is innocent ever (we all blame V though)! But eh, MCAC does it too. One second we're talking about fluffy bunnies, the next second the con turns X-rated.

Anyway, it was like 11 AM and I promised to see Debbie tonight, and I didn't so yeah I left. Before going back to my Hall I just popped by Laura's room, who's also in Farrer, on the first floor compared to Amanda and co. who are on the third (The Laura you guys know to the ISB people reading this blog) since I was already there and yeah, thought I would knock on her door. Her room is pretty cool. Lots of stuff stuck everywhere. She was looking good and hyper as usual. Heh. Seems she isn't leaving Farrer next year, might become an RA or something.

Yeah, went to Debbie's room. Thank you to Debbie for doing all the work in our Education presentation, lol. So yeah, she sent me the info she gathered working at the Melbourne show, my job is to analyze and write crap on the info / say why it is relevant to what we learn in the course. Anyway, by the time I showered and stuff it was like 1:30 .. me is sleepy, lol, so yeah sleep time!

I should say, that... in the end, my day plan was gone! I was planning to go home after my consultation, study, make dinner, eat it and study even more. In the end I didn't do anything, lol! It's almost exams, I need to do a Nazri forego meeting people soon.

Tomorrow, next to lunch with MCAC, my EIL seminar was cancelled so just English Lit tutorial (on a book I didn't read) and then I will be heading to do some house inspection with Jia Chee and hopefully Sharon. The agents arranged this one so unfortunately Amanda cannot come.
