Dancing Queen

The broken clock is a comfort,
it helps me sleep tonight

I can now safely write with the peaceful knowledge that my last macro assignment is finally complete; signed, sealed & delivered. It is with all honesty completely beyond me how, again, I have managed to finish this relatively on time considering this one was more last minute than the rest.

Mmm truly a testament to His unwavering faithfulness :) Thank you, thank You ever so much.

So! Lots&lots has transpired over mid-term break! It started off with a bang coming back from LTC retreat & it definitely ended with a grandslamkabam :) This was probably the most eventful (read:expensive) break as well, one ceaseless fun activity after the other. Definitely zero regrets, despite the somewhat shallow(er) pocket & niggling guilt-trip conscience.

I'm tempted to withdraw into routine & dish out another "too many things has happened for me to remember" excuse, but I think I'll take the road less traveled (this time at least) & briefly recap the blissful twoweek break! Personally I believe it pays to have the more significant memories written down, if ever I choose to revisit this point of time in my life, I know it'll all be right here collecting virtual dustbunnies.

Note: very long wordy update ahead, proceed at own risk. :)

First week of break could probably be summed up as slightly uneventful, up till Friday at least. Highlight of the week was probably ticking marketing assignment off our imaginary checklist & dinner with V on Tuesday :) Heart-to-heart's & crema ice-cream is a combination you can never go wrong with.

Friday was when the real term break began! H chose to grace me with her Adelaide presence with lunch & Brunetti's after. I hadn't realize how much I missed having an old high school friend around to chat about random nonsense intermixed with ACTUAL relevant updates. (Ditto when V popped by from Brisbane) Cheers babes, we make good teams :) Maybe next round I'll fly up to Adelaide or Goldcoast!

The weekend + Monday was time well spent up(or down?) in Torquay, our very own resident choice for cell retreats. Although this was an entirely different experience altogether! The whole 3 days were saturated with laughter, very yummy food, Charles the chauffeur, lazy 1,2,3, murderer(s), pokerface, Heart attack & speed, fast&slow captains ball, mangoman, special taboo dances with special effects squeak rhythms, dora the explorer and HEAPS of memories that will last me a lifetime :)

I probably just mentioned a whole chunk of information not many will understand; still, veryvery precious moments indeed!

Tuesday was picnic & quality time with A & D :) ah i love them, super adore hanging around them as a couple. I'm like the most comfortable third-wheel ever! Once the sun disappeared, I met D & M for our long-awaited jazz bar excursion (lol). Unfortunately like many of life's ironic moments, we ended up detouring from our original destination (not by choice though) and landed in LaLaland, literally.

Despite the empty atmosphere, I reckon the combination of not-so-bad music, good drinks & more importantly a skipthedrybits girl talk made it a perfect night :) So much so that we ended up walking the streets at 1.20am. Thanks girlies for walking me back :) Still as paranoid as ever, sigh. Chronic disease.

Thursday (this is exciting!) was SURFING. After much deliberation & plans changing and heaps of help from DD, we finally made it up to Torquay to surf! It wasn't so much the actual experience of surfing though that made it fun, because I barely spent much time on the board itself, let alone attempting to stand on it -.-, but rather the company that made the whole trip, tiring as it was, so worth while :)

NB: I want the girl to ask me to marry her! (or something along the lines of that)
Girls: *flow of indignant responses* Are you serious?
NB: Nolah, I paiseh if she has to get down on her knees and beg.

Well way too much was shared in the car trips up and down. This is definitely something I won't be forgetting for a long while :) I'm already looking forward to next year's trip in summer! Should be heaps better with warmer sun.

All in all twas a very good break indeed :) thank You God, because You never disappoint.
