Girls's Night Out

Rachel and I went to the city on Friday because... well, frankly, we were almost driven out of our minds from sheer boredom. So people, for the love of God and my sanity, please please PLEASE stop asking me what I did this week or how Brisbane has been so far or if I finally have a boyfriend yet, because:

a) I'm living a normal, utterly boring life here. Even more so than in Singapore. Seriously. I wake up, go to school, come home, study, eat and go to sleep; and on weekends I go to church for Sunday mass. THAT'S IT! I've been blogging only about food so far, BECAUSE that is the only remotely interesting thing I do here! Everything here closes at 5pm, unless one is a clubber, then there is something to do. But I only like to dance and the taste of most alcohol (and one gets the impression that in this culture, the people live to drink) repulses me. Plus, I have no safe people to go with here. So, that leaves me with, basically, no life.
b) No, I don't have a boyfriend, nor does it seem likely in the near future, because the boys here seem to have their minds fixated on beer, breasts and bimbos (aaaah alliteration. sorry. spasm.) So not exactly Catholic husband material! And a girl's gotta think long-term, you know.. Why waste the effort otherwise, no? Pfft.

Do I fret about how I'm not living life at the prime of my youth? Yes.

Do I worry that I'll live in Brisbane for 2 years and go home having not done anything other than studying, hence wasting the opportunity? Yes.

Do I feel very alone, and dream and wish that my family, all my cousins and Didi were here, so I'd be more willing to venture out of the safety of the house and truely explore Brisbane with me? Everyday.

So now you know. Everytime you ask me these questions, I feel more and more miserable. So please. Go pester some other person abroad and leave me alone.

Ok. Soliloquy over. I'm fine now. Back to Friday.

We went to Burger King (or as they call it in Australia, Hungry Jacks) for some gloriously unhealthy fries. Hellooo salty goodness!

I was wrecked with guilt over having bought something I did not (technically) need, but it was just so beautiful and shiiiiiiny that I could not help myself. I really must kill off that magpie tendency in me.

Anyways, it was a luxuriously soft, chocolate-brown, ruched velvet top embellished at the neckline with gold sequins. How anyone can resist that, is completely beyond me. Plus, it was on sale (AUD$12).

.: Elven Princess, Drama Queen :.

psst. blog. POKE me. you know you want to. bwa ha ha HAH!

I'm not much of a computer person (I have an unfortunate tendency to crash them where ever I go... *winces*) and therefore have not set up any groups, mailing lists, archives, etc. Way much more of a prowler... forever just skulking around on the edges and every once in a blue moon putting in my two cents worth... be it wanted or not. =^)

I was a Tolkien canon purist... but... what the heck. I gave up ages ago trying to convince people that contrary to popular belief, Legolas was a brunette, not a blonde. LOL.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, aye?

So, the purist got shoved head-first down the privy, kicking and screaming, whilst my Legolas muse gloated and did a victory jig on the toilet seat.

Anyways, I went to see FOTR all snob-like, scoffing "Bah... what's the deal with this elf that has got the oestrogen brigade's panties in a twist?"

*sheepish smile* Yes, you may all laugh at me now.

The phenomenon of the Great Golden God of a Legolas hit me with the force of a drunk troll with a sledgehammer, o' course. It was a close encounter of the third kind: A wham, bam, thank yooou, mister!
So... a dangerously obsessive here. Everybody head for cover. Mwahehehheheh....

Right-oh. A bio, ye be asking for?
Very well. Be forewarned though. *machiavellian grin* I'm notoriously verbose. Entirely not my fault, I tell you; 'tis the melodramatic Indian blood running through my veins. The same weakness. God, I'm so lame... Aye, I do go off tangent every other line too. *sigh* Where were we? Oh yes. Bio. Onwards:

Cheryl Ann Alexis; Mass Communications student; 168cm (5'6"?); Roman Catholic; July 1987; sworn virgin till marriage; from a multi-national family (Brit, French, American, Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, etc. I kid you not. Just imagine the politics at the Sunday table at grandma's...)

'But Legolas asked them to take off saddle and rein. "I need them not," he said, and leaped lightly up, and to their wonder Arod was tame and willing beneath him' -excerpt taken from The Two Towers by J.R.R.Tolkien

"Well, who wouldn't be?!"
