Flurry..

I went to the new Body Jam launch today. At 7.30. PM. Late class. Lots of people.

There's something funny about listening to two guys whispering sweet nothings to each other. I can't really describe it. Especially when I could practically hear everything they were saying.

"If a girl looked at my boyfriend like that I would get really pissed."

Woah.

Ok. Scenario noted. Anyone else feel this way? A little more thinking, a little less looking.

This was why I dare not turn to look at them.

One of them ended up joining the class as well, but only after a big smacker from the boyfriend before entering.

Today's workout was totally whacked!! Both Natalie and Paul were there just to make sure we weren't going to kill each other over space. Ok, maybe not. But centre stage was crawling with people. I had no idea so many people could fit into such a small space. I wandered off a little from the back to the left side of things. As there was a huge pillar blocking my vision, I had a pretty big piece of floor to my dispense. The trick is to know the class and imitate the "experts" - there's this girl who has "cheerleader" written all over her. It's impossible to see the instructors with so many feet covering your view; student alternatives are the better choice on the crowded dance floor.

The tempo's really fast. What a mix of latin, country and krumping! Yes, we learned to krump. Only, after getting the intense choreography, I had hardly any energy left to "krump" therefore being rather half-hearted after that. I suppose it helps if I'm angry. But no reason to be angry today. Besides, that would give Chand more reason to pull off my white hairs one by one like what she did during Yan Yao's housewarming.

Bear with me, I'm talking at random here.

Yan Yao and family moved a tad bit further from where they used to stay, which is actually very far in the first place. Glen Waverley itself. Funny us. Tsu Ann, Chandra, Natasha, Huey Koon and I boarded the train at 11 and arrived at Yan Yao's place at 1pm. Why is that? Because we caught the wrong bus at the train station! 5 people, and we all got it wrong. Ended up making a loop on the bus, causing some sleepiness and nausea (in my case) on the way. I looked out the window and saw..... MONASH!

We were clearly lost. We ended up at a place at the beginning of Zone 2 when we were suppose to be at the other end of the world (not quite, but you get the idea). After some frantic discussion and a bewildered bus driver, Lonsdale Crescent did not exist! Quite appropriate, coz it's actually called LANsdale Crescent -.-"

When we finally arrived (15 minutes walk from Knox City?), woah! it was "Wasp"land.

1) They are carnivorous. Don't worry, no one got eaten.
2) They dont die.

There were heaps of them! Having a barbeque pit and lots of fruit (plus mango cake) did not help. We settled down (after introductions to Yan Yao's ed. friends) to a somewhat fidgety lunch as Natasha, Chand and Huey Koon had bad cases of Wasphobia. For some reason, those things wouldn't stop pestering them!

After a few interrupted moments, we decided to retire into the lounge room. There were two sides really - one with very comfy chairs (we nearly fell asleep - I tried but Chand wouldn't let me!) and the other with really nice carpet (real soft to the feet) and interior design. There were actually 4 lion heads displayed around the house. Err.. By lion heads I mean the lion dance ones, not Safari-Africa kinds. And no, I did not bring my camera! ARGH!

Here I go again.

Studying in Swinburne still feels a bit funny. I haven't really explored the place other than the BA, EN and LB building which by the way are the Business and Arts, Engineering North and Library building. Yeap, everything is abbreviated as opposed to the Baldwin Spencer, Copland and Russell Lowe which I'm so used to.

BUT, I still get to use the comp lab in Redmond Barry (here's another one) :P Annie has access.

My newer friends include Sneha, Vanessa and Lynn - all from Monash. I haven't really gotten to know them all that well yet but it was nice of them to invite me to join their study group - which I gladly accepted. Going it alone could prove disastrous in a new environment. We will be discussing the Multiple Regression assignment next week. I'm still quiet at this point, don't know what's taking me so long to come out of my shell.

The lecturers and tutors are pretty nice and helpful. Looks like my supervisor will be Dr. Williams (Ben). I'm still deciding on a "Humaness" project vs. a Music preference (personality) project.

Train rides to Swinburne are long sometimes. Was lucky to have caught two Expresses today - not too draggy. Read and studied for a bit at Borders and special ordered (shhhhhh..) a Libera CD for Qijian. Now all I have to do is get an address somehow.

Time for stats~
