I haven't blogged for like, two and a half weeks. Not that I missed it or anything. Cuz for some reason I don't. I don't even have time for soccer any more. I wanted France to win. T__T Cuz there's a French bakery near my Subi work place where the guys there are really nice to me and give me discounts. And the croissants are GOOD. But I'm not against Italy or anything so it's all fine. Though I think the minute Japan, England and BRAZIL dammit were all out, I kinda lost interest.

 

So many things happened and I can't be bothered thinking back to remembering everything (my recollection never was that strong. You know, goldfish memory = three-second memory = BaD memory). But I'll give the main events.

I went on a road trip!! To busselton. I hadn't expected it to be as fun as it was since Christina didn't go, but even with just me Joy and Louise, it was really great. Three days and two night. More like two days since it was half of the first and half of the last. And you gotta sans all the driving too which could add up to about 10 hours on the road give or take. 

 

Anyway, we did a LOT for that little time spent there. The first night we couldn't really get accommodation. Wandered to a random motel and asked the guy to quote the price. The owner talked to us outside the reception building (why he wouldn't let us in from the cold, I don't know) but it was funny cuz I was just thinking "Ah cold cold cold.. No one in their right mind would ever walk around without at least two layers of clothing on.." and then the motel owner looked right pass us, and he was looking funny so we turned around and there was a topless guy standing there behind us, and he just smiled and said hi while we all kinda stared with blank faces on. 

Motel Owner: You with these girls?

Topless guy: Huh? Me? Oh no. I wish I were. Haha.

Heheherz.. he was complaining about some issue with his room. But anyway, us three stingy bitches were looking for something around $50 to $60 per room so the owner was halfway saying "For the three of you, it'd probably be a hundr-" "Thank you, bye!" And we left.

 

We slept in the car that night. It was cold. Joy didn't sleep (she was at the wheel). I slept half the amount I was meant to (cuz i only had THREE hours of sleep the night before since i had to make all you gengracers your DAMN CAMP BOOKLETS..). Louise slept the whole way (she did drive the entire day).

McDonalds there must think we're the most scabby homeless bums after all the free cups of water and us walking in and out of their toilet. Heehee.

 

Went to the Giants cave the next day. Been there before on another road trip with David, Grace, Joy, Lionel, Chia, Debbie, and.. there was someone else I swear. And it was realy fun last time we went, so we wanted to go again. But anyway, we climbed around - Up ladders, down sloping steps, up rocks, down ropes. Armed with helmets and torches. The cave was pitch black when we turned the lights off. But it was so damn fun. Kept talking about which one was freakier: Finding a dead body behind some rocks or seeing a ghost standing there staring at us. I kept saying the dead body was scarier cuz you know, the murderer could still be somewhere around. But Joy and Lou sauid that the murderer MAY be around but the ghost is DEFINITELY still there. I see their point.

But I STILL think the most frightful thing is to see a big fat SPIDER crawling around. SHIT omg I can't take it.

 

And then we went all the way to Augusta, the southern-most tip of WA, just for the fun of it. Sat there in the car under the heavy rain, wanting to feel that particular "rainy day" atmosphere but playing Stan on the stereo didn't quite cut that. And then we went to Leeuwin Estate for some wine-tasting. They have a BIG reputation and Louise really wanted to see it though she didn't even like wine. So me and Joy did the tasting and DAMN it was good wine. Funny how the $22 Shiraz and the $35 Art Series Shiraz had such a big difference between them (the art series was SO smooth) while the $35 Art Series Shiraz and the $105 Art Series Cab Sav tasted pretty much the same. -__-?  I bought a bottle of the AS Shiraz back for the father. Now he has no excuse NOT to share. ^__^

 

Went to the Fudge Cow shop thing and bought - wow how didja guess - fudge. When to a few more places and we spent any left over time playing random games. Lou won almost every game of bridge (this any-number-persons version she taught us.. very different from the bridge we normally play), I kicked ASS in boggle and Texas Holdem/Poker, and Joy practically dominated Scrabble - she says it's from having to put up with ScrabbleQueen!Grace.

 

Was on the way back and Lou was driving and there was this fat truck that didn't know how to signal and didn't know how to switch lanes either and he nearly knocked us off the road while cutting in front of us very suddenly. It was all so abrupt and each of us only had one thing going through our heads that very near-fatal instant...

 

Lou: Good thing I swerved!!

Me: I should have reached over and honked.

Joy: Why didn't I roll the window down and swear?

 

And so now we've all made a rule. Driver does what she can to keep everyone safe. Front seat passenger reaches over to honk horn for driver. Back seat passenger(s) roll window down asap and swear head(s) off at other party and does rude signals.

 

Good plan.

 

Oh yes, how could I NOT blog about this: Stopped off at the city for bubbletea and cards and after parking the car and making sure we paid enough for the ticket to not get a fine, we started chatting about how it has got to be the cheapest road trip since our first night accommodation was the damn car and good thing we didn't pay another $57 for the caravan. We decided it was a nice conclusion to the trip until we got back to the car and saw a bloody $50 PARKING FINE. We started telling Joy off for insisting that the three minutes between 5:27 and 5:30 (after it's free) were negligible, until we read it and it said "For parking in a motorcycle bay". We looked at the tiny print just above the 2P sign saying "m/cycle" and then down at the road at the LACK of lines for motorcycle lots, and started screaming.

 

That cold sleepless night in the car was a waste. We pretty much paid for two nights now.

 

We will appeal. *gets ready protest signboards*

 

 

Drew this on the way back from the trip since Lou and Joy asked me to.

 

 

Ok so it's only a pencil sketch, the lines are scratchy, it isn't refined, I didn't shadow it in, we don't look like ourselves, we don't look like we're in a car, and I spelt Busselton wrong. It's the THOUGHT that counts dammit. You could tell I was really lazy by looking at my and Lou's hands. Umn, if you can call them.. hands...

 

We forgot to take the pic where we each do what we're doing in the pic. Damn I just remembered. o_o

Biotherm, I paid $165 for the package. It better work. Otherwise I'm killing Joy myself.

 

 

And I gotta remember to blog for the Youth camp I just came back from yesterday.

Damn something happened that cracked me up so bad and I was telling myself to REMEMBER it so I could blog and now I CAN'T REMEMBER. >_<;;
