what am i doing with my life

warning: long fucking post ahead.

and then this happened...

 

 

HUUUEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(what am i doing oh god)

so, on Wednesday, Meilin and I met up with Ben, Kelly and Bryan to go to that pier place next to Parnell Baths (its called judges bay i think). Before that though, me and meilin bussed to parnell cathedral where we were supposed to meet Ben. Buuuut he wasnt there, so he texted us saying to make our way over to the pier and he'd meet us along the way.

that would've been fine if Meilin actually had any sense of direction.

So, we went a completely different direction and walked for about 10 minutes before we found out and then we had to walk all the way back (Tbh it wasnt actually that far but it was REALLY SUNNY and hot at the time so i was bitching the whole way).

actually tbh i cbf explaining this day to whole detail so i'll bullet point it

• went to bens house  front door on the way to destination
• his dog is a HUGE ball of fluffiness and is fucking adorable. like HUGE.
• i'm semi allergic to fur tho so i was like errrrrrkkk. also, the dog was big and i am a pussy
• but it was really cute
• walked to judges bay, decided to go to parnell baths instead cuz the water looked rank
• stayed at parnell baths for like, 20 minutes. bought food. 
• that day i had my hair like: 
•  (but it was nowhere near as pretty)
• and i used a hairtie to tie it at the back but when i pulled out the hairtie to go swimming, it was completely knotted up and WOULD NOT LET GO OF MY HAIR. srsly. bryan and kelly both took turns on untangling it. i spent a full 10 minutes trying to get it out. FUCKING RIDICULOUS
• when i finally got it out (ugh so embarrassing) there was just this strange knot of hair dangling hahaa
• btw later when i got home and finally brushed it out that whole bunch of hair just got ripped out by my brush
• ugh usually my hair behaves so well ffffff
• why am i posting so many bulletpoints about hair
• okay anyway
• ben and meilin went to make out somewhere and kelly and bryan swam away somewhere so i was just all by my lonesome for a while
• and then i was like where da fuq is everyone
• so i went back to the lockers and everyone was there and i was like -__- WTF SRSLY
• then we decided to go to judges bay
• NOW LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING BOUT JUDGES BAY.

"Warning signs have popped up on Judges Bay Beach, in Parnell, after water quality tests this week found an extremely high concentration of the bacteria enterococci."

"Judges Bay Beach has recently recorded a result of 1600 enterococci per 100ml. A beach deemed safe will have a sample reading of less than 140 enterococci per 100ml, while one deemed unsafe will have a reading of more than 280 enterococci per 100ml." 

• FUCKING. EW.
• AND I ACTUALLY SWAM (well, doggie paddled) QUITE A BIT IN THAT CESSPOOL OF SHIT COMPARED TO HOW MUCH I'D HAVE SWAM IF I WENT TO, LETS SAY, MISSON BAY.
• why? because we had  to swim out onto one of these wooden platform things
• and the distance we had to swim to get to the one we went on was a bit more than the length that freddie swam in that scene^
• AND I CANT FUCKING SWIM
• and since i was the fifth wheel that day, as i was painfully drowning away in enterococci (i didnt know about the health risk shit until today btw) no one came to my aid cuz the two couples were too busy being all coupley and shit
• ben and meilin were laughing at me though
• those fuckers
• srsly u dont know how freaky it was for me though. i nearly had a panic attack when i was smack bang between the land and the platform because i had to keep swimming since there was nowhere to go and was just surrounded by water and i felt so helpless and weak and ugh 
• and my favourite pair of sunglasses broke on the way cuz i forgot to take them off :(
• got to the platform eventually
• both couples started making out
• i felt very single
• sat in my sad little single corner
• everyone else ended up leaving the platform so we had it to ourselves and whenever someone would try to come on, meilin would stand in front of the ladder bit hahahahaha and if they kept trying to get on she was like 'oh sorry' and moved. 
• and whenever someone looked like they were heading our way it was like GO PDA GO GO GOOOO
• we eventually swam back to shore (UGH AGAIN) and btw i swallowed the water and now i feel like there is poison and disease coursing my bloodstream ewwwwww
• got changed
• took the bus to city
• went to this korean restaurant
• my first proper time eating korean food excluding dinners at joannas house
• i got a bibimbap (only cuz it was one of the few non-spicy things on the menu) and couldnt pronounce it and ben gave me shit about it
• decided i dont really like korean food (probably because i cant handle any spicyness at all, and without spicyness then whats the point of korean food?)
• kellys mum came into the restaurant out of nowhere
• we were all like holy shit what the actual fuck HOW DID SHE KNOW WE WERE HERE
• finished food
• said bye and i bussed home

omg im sorry i don't know how to accurately use bulletpoints haha. i just like it cuz it means i can write short sentences.

despite the complaining ^, it was a pretty alright day. although next time if i'm invite to that sorta shindig where i'm the fifth wheel i dont think i'd go.......

&& on tuesday (i think it was tuesday) my brother took me out driving YAY!

I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE MISSED MY DRIVING ADVENTURES :DDD

according to my brother if i took my restricted test right now i'd probably fail lmao i'm not surprised. it's just because i'm not confident enough behind the wheel and IF I HAD MORE PRACTICE THAT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE NOW WOULD IT ???

he taught me how to properly reverse into shit like driveways, three point turn and attempted to teach me how to parallel park.

i thought i was pretty shit at reversing but he said i was good so i just left it at that. three point turn was a piece of cake. parallel parking was a BITCH.

seriously all the wheel spinning and the neck craning and the angles..... -______-

i bumped onto the kerb about 8 times.

didnt crash into the cars though (Y) but i hope the owners of the cars didnt see me trying to parallel park between their cars because I'd probably give them an anxiety attack....

drove all the way to mt wellington to pick up Amy from her work and my brother told me to drive back as well but i wasn't keen on the chance of being caught and getting demerit points and a fine  so i didnt :/

Amy suggested my bro, her, my mum and I go out to dinner

.......and sooooo we did

went to Mecca in the city and lemme tell you how uncultured I am.

that was the first european restaurant i had been to. excluding La porchetta, archies and the italian restaurant i went to in shanghai (doesnt count.... idt)

yeah. i know right?! SHOCKING.

We got an antipasto (rofl my mum was like WHY ARE WE PAYING SO MUCH FOR A PLATE OF FOOD THAT IS JUST RANDOMLY THROWN TOGETHER) and for main I got a fucking nice steak with potato gratin, zuchinni, portebello mushrooms and caramelized onions. OHMYLORD IT WAS SO GOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!

hahaha previously when the waiter came to us with our drinks she was like "apple cider?" and i raised my hand thinking she meant apple juice but she and both Amy and my bro gave me this weird look and I was like OH WAIT LOLZ ITS ALCOHOL AND FOR MY BROTHER.

my brother drinks girly drinks HAHA.

aaaaaaaaaand on thursday i went to go watch sherlock holmes 2 in town with Marcia.

ohmygod the movie ending is so good!!! i was sitting there like :O "I CANT BELIEVE THAT JUST HAPPENED". 

just.... mind fuck.

then we went around window shopping and she was my bumgirl most of the time waiting outside my changing room hanging my clothes back on the hangers hahahahaha. I SAW THIS REALLY CUTE DRESS IN VALLEYGIRL THAT I REALLY REALLY WANTED AND WAS GOING TO BUY but then i decided not to and with the little amount of self-control i had, walked out the store.

.... only to check my eftpos balance at an atm and realise i didnt have enough money for the dress anyway.

i wont tell you how much money i have in my account right now but let me tell you.

it is BAD.

i really really didnt expect it to be that low since I only actually started using the card again in November to get birthday/xmas gifts but DAMN IT IS BAD. a whole year and a half of savings used up in 2 months. dammmmn..........

I, VICKY XU SWEAR THAT I WILL NOT USE ANY MORE MONEY FROM MY EFTPOS FROM THIS DAY ON UNTIL NOVEMBER UNLESS IT IS AN ACTUAL LIFE/DEATH EMERGENCY. I WILL ONLY DEPOSIT MONEY INTO THE ACCOUNT BUT I WILL NOT EXTRACT FROM IT. THIS WORKED LAST YEAR AND IT WILL WORK AGAIN. NO TOUCHING THE BLUE EFTPOS CARD, COMPRENDE? 

does anyone know of any job openings? :(
