reunion!

so on saturday 10/12/2011 we had a NSW EEC reunion (an environmental conference held at NSB sometime last holidays i think). we were meant to meet up outside George St cinemas at 11:45, go and eat lunch then watch In Time at 1pm.

so i caught the last train that got to Town Hall before 11:45 .. thinking that I would be one of the last to get there. but when i got there ... i couldn't recognise anyone. walking in and out of the cinemas, not a single face which i knew. then, i realised something really stupid which everyone else realised later on in the day. i did not have the number of a single person who was coming. smart jennifer, smart.

but wait! then this guy walks in my direction. he does not see me. BUT I RECOGNISE HIM! i remembered him as a guy called William Vu from Fort St High. so he walks straight past me (i'm standing near this pole). but when he walks back we do that awkward thing where we make eye contact (for a bit longer than normal) then he keeps walking. i wasnt sure whether it was him so i was like :| like it would be awkward if i walked up to him and said hi and he was like 'what i don't know you'. but then because he eyed me for a bit i suspected he was wondering the same as me, so he probably is that guy. in the meantime, i'm mass calling Nadhirah to get Elysha's number (the only other girl!)

lucky i print screened this earlier, cause i cant find the event on fb anymore! maybe they deleted it since it's already passed :(

so then i approach him and ask if he's here for the reunion and he says that he is. then we have the whole laugh about the eye contact thing and he said that he thought he recognised me as well but wasn't sure. so we awkwardly stood outside the cinemas together waiting for other people.

after about 5-10 minutes the NSBs came - Daniel (i was in this guy's class when i was in year 3! then he went to OC ...), Herman, Leo and Simon. I am very sorry if I left anyone out. so yeah ... william pointed out that the NSBs were all standing together while William and I were kinda hanging around when he said 'so much for a reunion'. and FINALLY at around 12 Elysha came! she had lots of makeup and hairspray on cause she just had a dance rehearsal or something. i was the shortest in the whole group, it was not nice.

so we ate lunch at maccas ('poor cheap teenage food'). William and ... Daniel? had this super cool student edge card thing which gave them a free drink so i signed up for one a few days ago as well :D anyway. afterwards we went to the cinemas (like 10 minutes late, but the ads were still running when we arrived). at the entrance i wasnt allowed in cause i had my maccas meal with me (WHY did i not put it in my bag) and they said i had to either finish it quickly or throw it away. so i went to the bin and Amogh (we met up with him after lunch) offered to hide my food in his bag but i said that i could fit it in mine. so i did. and chucked my drink away (how sad. but i can never finish my drinks) and walked back. the guy was smart and asked me in a not-nice way if i really threw it away or if i just put it in my bag. so i felt bad and went and actually threw it away. so i ended up throwing away my drink and my chips away (i only ate my burger at maccas). turns out that the boys were distracting the cinema guy so i could've taken it in. but still. urgh. not nice.

the first thing we talked about after the movie was about the puns in the movie: 'i don't have time to gamble' and stuff like that. Simon mentioned that first. it was also funny cause the moment we came up we saw Timezone and we started laughing about that.

and then the guys were like 'let's go to the Internet cafe and play COD' and elysha, william and i were like :\ elysha said she played before but not on a computer. william said ... i forgot what he said. i have never played it before. the NSBs said that they would teach us how to play and stuff so we were like okay ...

but Amogh wanted to go and play pool. so then he managed to persuade us three to go and play with him. it was $16 a table for an hour, so we each payed $4. Amogh and I were in a team playing (see i didn't say versing) Elysha and William. during our game of pool the people on the table beside us were saying weird things along the lines of 'don't poke me with your stick!' and 'where are your balls?' and other things that could be interpreted in weird ways.

anyway in the end we don't know who won cause our one hour was up before we finished the game and i think it was a tie. we went up to the Internet cafe and saw the boys mesmerised with their game-playing. elysha had to leave and cause it was awkward just with me as the only girl i left as well. william thought that since he wasnt game playing that he should leave as well.

it was a nice reunion :D sadly, i took no photos. except i think Elysha took a photo of Simon in woolies before the movie. i shall find that on facebook.

there.
