work hard, party hard

14O21O - Thanh H.'s 18th Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! 

HAPPY CNY & VALENTINES EVERYONE =D !!!

So a few things happened this. For one, I finished one week of my maths bridging course YAY!!! Another 7 days to go ... Luckily, unlike UNSW, we don't have a test at the end of the course, and compared to UTS, our classes goes for every consecutive weekday while theirs is every day =D. On the plus side for UTS, their bridging course is for free =.= Lucky!

On Thursday night, I had a pre-CNY dinner at our usual restaurant. The food was good, as usual, but it seems like the service went downhill O_o. I think they need better waiters. Chit chat, here and there. Nothing interesting to mention. After dinner, Marina and I went back to her apartment (A?N: She's now living in with her brother, William) while William took our parents to run some tests on them for his Ph.D assignment. Ah, I sure love their apartment xD it's cosy, stylish and modern. When I have a house, I want it to be similar to theirs, though with a more family feel to it =).

After Friday's lessons, I met up with Jessica and her niece, Cian, and did a bit of shopping with them =D. I had fun 'testing' my nails with the samples =D (A/N: don't you just love shops and their testers? It was convenient for me because I was going to go clubbing the next night and the theme is red =D). I think the sales people are annoyed with me now .. ^_^'. 

Also it's been ages since I took capitols =D Though taking photos is fun, you can't actually stick it on things, make the photo smaller or even decorate =P ahh, I sure miss those days where we spend plenty money on miniature sticker photos *sarcasm* But I wouldn't mind taking them once in a while for fun =). It's one of the best ways to kill time at the city when you have nothing to do =). We also when to Prize Paradize and I must say, Cian is quite good at skills testers =D She got a bag full of toys all by yourself =D. Speaking of Cian, she is such a funny, talkative girl =). 

Cian: a;klsdfja;sfkjsadf it's like a g-string for your feet. akfja;dfkjad uncomfortable to wear a;ksdfja;sfd rain and gets dirty.

Jessica: Yeah, that's why it's called a thong!

Jessica and I laughed.

Cian's mother, Jessica's sister, was such a warm person =D She hugged and thank me straight away for taking care of her daughter hahaha xD She's more welcoming than most Asian parents. Well, she IS a designer, so she would be less conventional that older Asian parents. Then Jessica and I trained it back home. It took longer than expected because we apparently took the wrong train, so we had to change trains =.=. Oh, and the weather for that day? RETARDED! Extremely hot at first, and then raining hard afterward =.= It's like the calm before the storm, literally. 

Saturday night came; it was time to party >=). First stop was to Peter D1.'s farewell party. He's going to Thailand for a gap year =D. I wish I could travel to Thailand! I hope he'll take care of himself anyways =D and have heaps of fun! I couldn't stay long because I had to catch the train to get to Veranda Bar early (A/N: I'm a promoter for them, so if you're planning to go clubbing, don't be shy to ask me about it =D I can even provide you V.I.P cards!). Overall, I had fun socialising and catching up with everyone from school. It's amazing to see Brandon there hahaha =D I never realised how connected he was >=D. I wish I stayed longer because I'm sure I missed out heaps of  things that must've happened after I left =(. Still, thanks for the invitation Peter =D.

It sucks that I missed the limited stops train by 30 seconds =.= and hence, Vicky and I waited another 20 minutes for the next limited stops train. Although we made it to the club before 10:30PM, we got in afterward so she had to pay $20 =(. On the positive side, we got a free rose YAY! For both of us, it was our first clubbing experience, so we weren't sure what to do. The place was definitely clean, with strong security, so that was a good thing. Tables and walls were decorated with rose petals and cardboard love hears, strongly emphasizing the red in CNY/Valentines. 

I met a few friends and the club, which I know were under my guest list, so I definitely know I made some money that night xD YAY! I also received a red pocket from Vinson by wishing him 'Cong Hai Fa Choi' =D. I wished it was money, but it was a free drink coupon, DAMNIT! I should've used it on the night as well lol! Thanks anyways =). Though, I did use the one I received another one from Wilfred, my team leader =D thank you! I'd tell you what I ordered, but I don't remember the name. All I remember from the description the bar tender gave us was 'pineapple' and 'not that alcoholic' =P. I had a sip of each of the drinks Kenny had and the only ones I remembered was vodka with redbull and Jack Danielles. I thought the vodka with redbull tasted nice =P. There was even one that tasted like cough medicine O_o. My team leaders wanted to get me wasted but luckily, I didn't. I only stumbled a bit because my feet was aching from all the dancing LOL! I think I need more practice with the heels. Though, I do wish I took photos last night but none of us had a camera that night =.= . I was wearing glittery, silver eyeliner =D IT WAS SO SHINY!!! Oh, and note to self: buy contacts earlier. I ended up wearing my glasses because my optometrist closed early for CNY and Vicky didn't let me not wear my glasses because she didn't want me to walk blindly around the club. Photos can be viewed from this website (facebook page of the CEO of the club xP).

I saw Nathan =D YAY!!! But I didn't see his date NO!!! Well, hopefully there will be a next time =). I managed to make a couple of new friends =D which is a good thing because being a promoter for a club means increasing your social networks and improving your social skills =P. I need to get tips of Nathan because he's a natural at this =D. Hopefully, he'll get off probation soon so he could help me xD !!!

There were a few interesting things that happened at the club, but I'll just leave it blank hehehe =). It'll only be between Vicky and I. If you're desperate, then you can ask me, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'll definitely tell you =P. Hint: alcohol - induced males.

Me, Vicky, Kevin and Diana.

Michael, me and Vicky.

The only thing I regret is not being able to have a CNY eve dinner with my family =(. I haven't had one in AGES. I know I said we had a pre-CNY dinner, but this one is actually at my Aunt's house, where the parents do the cooking. My mum went but unfortunately, I didn't =(. Hopefully, there will be another one next year.
