train frustration

Monday means badminton. So we were all happy and excited for training … until, after trekking to the boys’ gym with 3 nets and a large bag of racquets, we realised that the boys had taken EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE COURTS. Even the ones that we usually take. So after relocating many times, we were reduced to the CLEVELAND QUAD. I mean … badminton means indoors. No wind. Little feathery thing gets blown by wind.

So I guess you guys would probably know what I mean when I say that it didn’t really work. As proved when we tried to play table tennis in the wind the next day. Well because we were playing in the Cleveland Quad it was much closer to the storage thing where we put our stuff. A bus also came the moment we arrived at the bus stop.

When I got to Central, there was a Cronulla in 3 minutes. I ran for it. Arriving at the platform, A TINCAN WAS THERE AND IT WAS REALLY CROWDED. So I had to endure that horrifying moment when I have to decide whether to get on or not. But then I REMEMBERED THAT USUALLY THERE’S A TINCAN THAT COMES BEFORE MY REALLY NICE TRAIN. My usual train (the really nice one) doesn’t stop at Wolli Creek or Rockdale. So when I was looking at the timetable and the train after the Cronulla was an ‘express’, I assumed that that was my train.

So off the train goes. I’m like YAY my train is almost here and I can get home and see what my brother looks like in SBHS uniform! (I was SO excited, omg he’s gonna look so weird with a tie and everything HAHHAHAHHAHA) and then I turn my head to look at the timetable.

AND THEN MY FACE WENT WHITE. I DID THAT WHOLE EYE-WIDENING OMG WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME FACE. Why?! Because the next train stopped at Redfern then HURSTVILLE. Kogarah is before Hurstville. The train DOES NOT STOP AT MY STOP. Argh. Omg. WHY DID I MISS THAT TRAIN? IM SUCH AN IDIOT. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?! So then I use my phone to see if there’s a train from Hurstville to Kogarah after this one. Yes there is! And I only have to wait 3 minutes.

So yeah coolies I get onto that train. But to check, I used my phone to check what time the next train gets to Kogarah. 3 MINUTES EARLIER. AND I DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE TRAINS. So I did that whole gritting teeth inhaling making hissing sound that Amanda always does and the hand movement that’s like clutching something that’s falling down. If you know what I mean.

So I got off at Redfern. The next train. The next train is an all stops! Okay so I know this train gets there earlier … but let’s see the next one. Cause all stops are slower. SO I USE MY PHONE TO CHECK AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE TRAIN AFTER THAT GETS TO KOGARAH 2 MINUTES EARLIER!

So I watch as the all stops passes me … and then get on the train after that. I recognise the train. IT’S THE TRAIN THAT I USUALLY CATCH, YET I GOT TO CENTRAL QUITE A BIT EARLIER THAN USUAL. I was so annoyed. But when I got home … I opened the door and MY BROTHER GREETED ME IN SBHS UNIFORM! OMG SO CUTE.

deeeep conversations

well, not really deep. more like immature, naive me :)

haha today went out with louisa and maggie to carss park for the third time this holis, and apparently we're going out together again on monday if it isnt raining lol =/

today we didnt do much at the park, especially cause my mum said not to expect to do anything cause it rained and the grass was wet. before maggie got here louisa and i walked around and talked about our plans for the future :D we talked about how both our carbon footprints were enormous, how louisa wanted a green home, how i'd like to sponsor a child through world vision and get my kids to do so too, etc. but when we went back apparently our parents went looking for us, meh. then we kicked a soccer ball around for a bit, but ended up playing big 2 (i came second woooo - i usually suck at it *cough* especially when louisa's family's around *cough*) and cheat. yeah, i totally lost cheat.

then we went to hurstville to eat dinner together at that meridian hotel place, and maggie and i just talked about how we'd like a boy to confess their love for us :) haha it was entertaining, we were imaging guys playing the guitar and singing (maggie said: 'only if he has a good voice!') and how it would be awkward if he wasnt implying it and caught you off guard, say when you're eating a hamburger or pizza. cause you're all like hands on and weird and awkwardified, and you cant get away with small gestures cause you have to eat your burger and stuff. haha, it was interesting. but then we became old and reminisced about our childhood crushes and talked about them - twas entertaining yet struck a very nostalgic string within each of us :(

yeah. and i was meant to start commercing or rapping like ... 50 minutes ago but i suck and procrastinated and thought that mug cakes needed an oven. and then i realised that that wasnt right (you know ... correlation between cakes and ovens?) and googled it to check ... and yeah.

hope the remainder of your holiday is enjoyable! >==>
p.s. that was a fish. i was just wondering if i could draw a fish.
