Happening Weekend

I know I’ve sort of dropped off the world for a while, but I’ve been busy working and studying for my biostats test. I don’t want to mar my current distinction average I’m getting for all my units, so I’ve focused on studying biostats eventhough I’ve done this so many times and it seriously bores me. Anyway, exciting updates. Last weekend there were so many things that happened!

I’m curious, who is the person who reads my blog form Singapore? I’m curious as you are one of my more regular readers, and not many people reads my blog regularly. If you’re that person, do pop a comment in the comment box I won’t eat you or anything, I just wanna know.

First of all, on Friday the babes (Ange and Lin) and I went to Perth Town Hall to hit the Sass & Bide warehouse sale. We are now Sass & Bide bums….Teehee…..The deal was so irresistable! $50 for a pair of skinny legs, original price is $200 or more. That’s pretty much the same price as Cotton On, but better quality and not made in China stuff. So we Sass & Bide bums grabbed jeans like mad from the tables and proceeded to the change room to try on those skinnies.

Lucky Ange told me the change rooms were open, which meant that we had to strip and try on the jeans in this massive room with mirrors. No partitions, no doors, just masses of women stripping ot their undies and trying on valuable Sass & Bide merchandise. (I checked the website, they don’t have a store in Malaysia but they have one in Singapore, how sad is that?) Never have I seen so many underwear clad bottoms while women grabbed and held on tight to the merchandise. The babes and I slid into the darkest corner we could find to go try on our cheap cheap denim. I think the lady security guard who was stationed at the door must have been bored stiff with having to just stand there for 3 days and watch that nobody steals the clothes. Maybe she must have had these thoughts going through her head”

“Sigh, why must I be here, watching 30 odd women trying on stuff in their underpants? I could have had the better job, watching other people instead of half naked women trying on clothes”

“Hmm…will I be able to fit in a pair of those jeans? They make butts look smaller, maybe it’ll help mine too?”

“I wonder if Sass & Bide will give me a pair of jeans for free, since I’m watching the merchandise for them?”

I know, its really random. But I can’t help thinking what goes thru the guard’s head when she has to stand there and watch half naked women?

They even had these PI-looking guards outside the sales area and at the bottom of the stairs before proceeding to the upper level where the clothes were held. I must say, those security guys were cool, they had the whole suit thing going on, earpieces and the whole stance as if they are guarding some hot-shot or something. Think the president’s body guards. But they were in fact guarding the massive amount of Sass & Bide clothes in the warehouse (Pssst…..Ange, I think that guy guard was flirting with you!!! :P)

Presenting……..The Sass & Bide bums!

L-R: Lin, Ange and I waiting for the bus to the city

L-R: Lin, Ange and me in the bus, on the way to the city. I think the guy in front of us must be wondering why these 3 girls where at the back of the bus and laughing all the way and taking pictures with so many cameras/camera phones.

L-R: Ange and me on the bus. OK, so we enjoyed the picture taking prior to the shopping

Babes, I had such a great time! It was great hanging out with both of you outside of uni, we should do this more often. We always see each other at uni, day in and day out, but it sure is different to hang out outside uni and I enjoyed every second of it *hugZ*

Anyway, fast forward to Sunday after church. Jasmine, Justin, Aunty and I went to the Subi markets for lunch and to get some fruit before Aunty went off to Sydney. Jasmine wasn’t feeling too well and to cut a veeeeery long story short, she puked in the markets. Twice. Me and Aunty were like, “Oh dear. Can’t be helped”. Poor girl puked on the way back to the car, so she puked like on ground, in the middle of the market throng. I must say it was quite an amusing sight, cause we could actually see what she had for lunch. Thank God I have a sort of iron stomach and didn’t puke myself at the sight of everything.

I can still see the puke in my dreams…..*shudders* Since some of it landed on my jeans and shoes, I’ve given them a good scrubbing but I still feel they ain’t brand new anymore……Hahaha.

Zaneta dropped by today, had quite a chat and realised we both know some Miss Malaysia/World finalists. And the finalists are about my age, which makes me feel a tad bit like an underachiever with just being a full-time student and part-time sales assistant. Then again, everyone has their own talents and are special in their own way. I may not be beauty pageant standard, but I sure can memorise lots of information.

I’ve realised in my years of living, that you don’t need to conform to society’s standards to be a decent person. Society’s standards are warped, and as long as you stay true to yourself and listen to your inner voice I believe you’ll be alright. You’ll make it in life.

anyway, biostats test today was rather hard, the lecturer made the wording of the questions rather tricky. The results should be out next week, since its the last week of uni and we do want to go through the paper before the exams.

Time flies so fast! It’s already week 13, and my 2 presentations and oral exams are next week!!! Arrrghhh!!!! And study week and exams are just round the corner…..Sigh….Better get down to business and studying.

On a side note, I accidentally closed the garage door onto the Golf. *gulps* Aunty reversed the car in, but didn’t put it inside enough and I shut the door and it hit the license plate. When the door was on the way down, there was this creaking sound as the door scraped against the metal of the license plate, my heart just skipped a beat when that happened. Yikes!!! And the door got stuck there and I had to go jiggle with it, I couldn’t get inside to move the car inside a bit more but had to wait to get into the garage through the house as I didn’t want to risk opening the door and pulling the license plate off the car.

*gulps*
