the start of holiday

it is the start of holidays!!!
today is the 4th day.

the feel of being free is just indescribable and not explanatory!
i am able to sleep late into the nights (up to twelve hours),
clean my house (finally getting into organized mood),
washed all my clothes (i am left with no more clean clothes to wear),
iron them (used to wear crumpled clothes),
go shopping (retail therapy),
explore the suburbs (been wanting to do this ages ago),
watch lots of movies online (thanks to recommendation from Anzela),
go online and chat whenever i feel like it (but my family is not always online),
party and play all i want, etc.

i was one of those who finished early. many of my friends will have their last exam on monday, if not friday. my housemate will be having her last exam on friday. so basically, she still have to study late into the night while i throw all my textbooks and worksheets already. haha! see the contrast? but unfortunately, my housemate is not that kind of people. even though she still has got exams, she places priority on baking and stuff, watching her idols' drama and variety shows, cooking, etc. well, she does every other stuff except study.

so what have i done so far???
on tuesday after my chemistry paper, i went home and took a very short nap. it was supposed to be longer than that. when i got home, my housemate asked me to accompany her to the market to buy some food. our house had been going empty for quite some time already. perhaps of exam stress. so we took about an hour in the market. got 2 pieces of sashimi, vegetables and fruits. we usually have sashimi in the afternoon when we are lazy to cook. i tell you... it's so easy to make. just steamed rice, buy seaweed and cut the sashimi into thin slices. and presto! you made yourself a meal! like the indo saying, 'Murah Tapi Meriah'. went back home. she told me to cook the rice. finished cooking the rice. went upstairs to go online. in the end, Sally chatted with me about our plan to buy for our dear friend Valerie a watch and stuffs for her surprise party. in the end, we chatted for like 15 minutes. in the end, it was already 2.30pm and i was supposed meet Sally at 4pm. haven't bathed too. argh that means i will only have an hour to rest? why are things not the way i want it to be??? so i woke up at 3.30pm and showered. rushed to eat the sashimi with rice and seaweed and met Sally downstairs of Arrow. we took a tram to Reject Shop and shopped for candles, balloons, pump, happy birthday banner... then we walked over to Myers and David Jones to search for the perfect watch for Valerie. guess how much it cost? AUD$189! Valerie is one of those lucky girls is all that i can say... then we bought a cake for her at Bread Top and a gigantic card at Newsagent. the card is super cute i think. i hope she likes it too. after that, Sally and i went to Grattan House where Sal and Val live at. just according to the plan, Valerie was at the library with Fiona til late at night. so we made use of the time to pump the balloon and put the cake into the fridge. then Sal and i left to go eat dinner with our church friends at Nelayan. we were going to watch Sex and the City but unfortunately there was no more seats available. so we had to watch The Incredible Hulk instead at 9.40pm. while we waited, we talked and i learnt so much stuffs about tampons. all thanks to Sally. the movie was great! definitely not as bad as what i expected. it was so much fun! (= especially watching it with Jey, Shierlla, Airlyn, Pamela, Sharon, Sally and Stefanie. thanks for that night girls! so after which, half of us went back home while others came to Grattan House. this time, Sally and i had to do everything super quietly since Valerie was at home already. haha! it was so cute. everyone was tiptoeing about. throwing the balloons from Sal's room to the living room. we took out the cake from the fridge and placed 20 candles on the cake. soon, many others from church came. altogether there must have been 15 or more of us from church and trinity college last year. unfortunately, tahnee wasn't there to join us. anyway, denny, irwan, ko rio, ko andy, marvin, ko bq, zi ying came. when the clock struck midnight, all of us quietly came into the house, and gathered in the middle room area. the light was switched off and we knocked on valerie's door. when she opened it, she was smiling already. i guess she was already expecting us to come. haha. but tough luck val. a few of her housemates and i dragged valerie across to the living room area. we forced her onto the chair and we tied her to it with a skipping rope. meanwhile, her housemates applied face paint on her face and a wig for her hair. she looked so horribleee. hahaha! but it was super uber fun!!! (= that celebration was the beginning of my holiday.
i shall continue more tml...
