8 minutes to midnite *sniff* it's monday....

it is the 1st of august and i still hv not received my monthly income (fr parents la of course), goodbye lovely rmk wedges (last pair at DJ, have a feelin it'll be gone by the time money comes it)... went for a potluck at jo's yesterday. highlight was the trip to jo's place...it was hilarious i tell ya, well, at least now i can laugh about it! i had 2 convenors and one guild gen sec in my tiny white charade... ok it happened like this.... had to pick jacky up at 6.15pm, was now 6.20, jacky called, i told him i was on the way (was putting on shoes and transferring fruit punch ingredients (strawberries, kiwis...ahem, cranberry juice, etc) into the car). got to jacky's place...took him 5 mins to get out of his hse then tells me we gotta pick thuy thuy n she's not happie (cos late mah). so neways, then on the way he tells me joey called and we have to pick her up, then joey tries to call me, my fone has low batt, then she calls again but still low batt... meanwhile we've reached thuy thuy's place so jacky is talking to joey whilst miss calling thuy thuy...joey is confused as to who's on the fone, jacky tells her to call him, she doesn't noe why (fone low batt!!!), jacky explains, joey doesn't understand. thuy thuy arrives car, grumpy n not too happie (cos haven't bought ingredients for spring rolls n promised jo 3 weeks ago she wld make spring rolls)...so had a recap of the previous plan, in conclusion, eveyrthing screwed up b'cos of state exec!!! so jacky asks if i'm picking joey, thuy thuy wants to return blockbuster dvds...jacky still asks if i'm picking joey!!! said yes for the 5th time!!!!!! then forced them to prioritised the places they wanted to go.... jacky wanted to buy roast fuck whoops! duck i mean thuy thuy wanted to buy ingredients for her spring roll at this viet store at brisbane street din noe wat joey wanted to buy! din noe how to get to joey's place either...car is filled wif 2 noisy ppl; radio is on groove fm to drown out the sounds of the guild gensec n isc convenor fighting over what a research officer shld do and why jacky should be employed as one...the pot at the back is sliding at every turn i make, am worried dat someone will crush the strawberries and kiwis.... finally got to joey's place. result? 3 noisy ppl, a loud radio and me worried about my strawberries and kiwis. the issue of the nite: turn left or go straight. i have jacky in my ear telling me to turn left, joey said go straight...(both repeating thier words again and again and again), hv reached intersection n dunno wat to do...finally thuy thuy said go straight!! thank god! got to brisbane street succesfully, thuy thuy went in to buy her herbs and vegies, meanwhile, me, joey n jacky were starving...pringles anyone? was the question the 3 of us were thinking jacky comes back wif dried fish strips, pandan chiffon cake (dat we ate like barbarians; me and joey were taking smaller bites to compensate for tearing the cake apart, jacky just stuffed the whole thing into his mouth) and some sweets jacky got for 75 cents. (bear in mind dat we were all actually on our way to a potluck!) after the cake we got reallie reallie thirsty and then started debating if we should get water. thuy thuy finali came out! off the charade goes, now on a mission to get roast duck and various other things...um, joey was actuallie debating if she should get 5 or 7 large mcdonalds fries for the potluck!! neways, managed to get the roast duck, jacky got into the car first (feels like the amazing race, only nobody wins anything), asks me to go w/o joey (she was still getting her portion of roast duck or sumthin). joey arrives...off the charade goes, now on a mission to arrive safely to jolene ho, uwa's house!!! after various twists and turns and heavy discussion between me and jacky and joey & thuy thuy wishing they could walk there instead (um, there were a lot of the the various twists n turns), we managed to get to jo's potluck!!! at one point i realized we were on the wrong street so i turned into a house in order to u-turn, before i could reverse this is the conversation: Joey: eh, jolene move already meh? me: no lah!! thuy thuy: but this is not her house jacky:eh! fozz is on the fone, wats jo's hse number?? me: 66 (it's actually 16 A...paiseh!) joey: then why r we here? eh, jolene move already meh? me: no!! she hasn't!! i'm jus reversing jacky: r u sure jo's hse number is 66? eh, no batt already...(fozz has been cut off) so dat was jus a snippet of wat was going on in the car.....phew i tell ya, i hv never been more relieved, i can say i was almost deaf by the end of the journey...i have decided to now a) never put jacky n joey in the same car if they are not the drivers b) never panic if thuy thuy says she's lost sumthing major like her hse keys cos she's actuallie had them all the time only she doesn't knoe and can't find them! c) turning the radio on when jacky n joey or jacky n thuy thuy r talking is never a good idea unless u've got head fones or if it's linkin park!! d) turn ur mobile fone off when u r going to a potluck, dat way no one calls u to pick them up hence...no drama!! phew...am now exhausted!! it was good meeting the gang tho at potluck, the whole uwa bunch was there...food was brilliant, my dear made the yummiest mini pizzas, naomi cooked awesome beehoon, me n chrissie decided i order to eat less calories we should share the cappucino cheesecake, sago(yummy stuff tash babes!) n carrot cake!!! btw, big hugs to chrissie babeh for the yummy hazelnut chockieeeee...hehe, was a happie girl i tell ya! never got to try shirley's homemade sausage rolls cos was tooo full at the end *sniff*. got back ard midnite...the ride home was so smooth cos all was tired...hehe! jus realized i still gotta cut the onions for tomoro's sausage sizzle so this post has to be cut short, yeah yeah i noe very long oledi...hehe, a lot to say mah! btw, mum and pops are back, had 4 loads of dirty clothes, all smelling of fish and fish guts and various other icky stuff...am the happiest girl in the world!!!!!! hugs and kisses to all! carmen babes, luv ya lots, thx for calling toniteeeeee
