'80s movies are the best.

Haven't been here in so long.

Last Sunday, went on a year 12 church outing & went puttputt golfing. Needless to say, most of us sucked. It was still a lot of fun & jjajangmyun for dinner is always a treat (:

Then, more matrix which isn't really that bad & Louise is the best. I just wasn't so into studying so most days consisted of cramming the homework at midnight.

On Thursday or Friday I think, I got very distracted because Sarah & I started a full-blown argument using the Google translate voice speaker. Wish I could've recorded it. So many hilarious moments over those 2 hours. First time Mum walked in on us, Sarah was typing up something about how she was part of the Bulgarian mafia & wanted to learn pole dancing. Then later on when Dad came in, the Google translate voice was going on about something I typed up about how it was morally wrong & tragic that Ricky Martin was gay. It really is tragic though. Usually, when we watch The Voice. Mum & I are wailing about how unfair that he's so attractive but so gay & then Sarah has to roll her eyes at us & go "should I be worried because... Mum, you're married. Grace, you're seventeen...why are you into old gay men?". Oh, that's also what I've been doing these holidays. The three of us spent the whole first week just watching The Voice auditions yay.

Yesterday was darling Sarah's 14th birthday. She'd been bugging us for a month to get a present so we truly outdid ourselves & got her a four-part present. Well, Dad actually got her a present he got for free but whatever. I had to keep it in hiding forever because she searched my rooms daily. So, as soon as I got up, Sarah started jumping up & down, yelling at me to get her the presents. She was so happy when she saw them LOL. There was actually a lot of drama & crying in the hour before dinner. Happens in a house with 2.5 females so Dad kind of had to stick it out & calm us down before leaving. Sarah chose an Italian place- Baia in Darling Harbour. Not as a good as Criniti's but all the bookings were full & it was still pretty delicious. We also happened to be seated next to a huge group of Baulko guys I happened to know & it was just super awkward but that was okay because there were surprise fireworks at Darling Harbour during dinner so it was perfect for Sarah's birthday. Afterwards, we walked down to a French cafe with ridiculously priced Tiramisu [honestly, what kind of magical Tiramisu costs $17?] so Sarah, apparently not already full from her lamb chops, decided to get banana waffles, chocolate and a scoop of ice cream. I got a hot chocolate with the most beautiful marshmellows I will ever see in my life, Dad got a flat white & Mum.. got a coke LOL. So yeah, a beautiful day for an.. okay sister. Happy child.


Okay, I feel that's enough. The end.





I kind of had a life crisis break down today where I went hysterically sad for no particular reason & dad comforted me for a while before my sister & mum came along. We all just lay on the lounge & contemplated life while I had this strange moment of depression & confusion. Dad showed me a bible verse that kind of summarised how I felt. Basically the gist of it was that everything is meaningless. And then we lay around some more. It was actually so weird. It became a counselling session as well as an AA meeting.

In fact, whenever any of us said something strange & questionable, Sarah just kept saying "it's okay, we're all patients here".

It sort of ended with this conclusion.

Dad- It's just part of growing up with all that uncertainty and hormones. [...LOL?]
Mum- No, hormones is what Sarah is going through. Grace is going through a critical stage in her life. She's feeling overwhelmed.
Sarah- Woahwoahwoah, buddy. So when she goes crazy, she's going through some tragic critical stage in her life but when I happen to be sad, it's all just PMS ? You all suck.
Mum- Girls, how can you talk about private things like PMS so openly in front of dad ? He is a guy after all.

-both look doubtfully at her-

Me- Dad, do you know what PMS stands for?

It was then that we found out that he had thought it stood for Puberty Madness Syndrome up until that point. Wow, that whole thing was just so..

Anyway, Dad figured out that he had no idea what to say to help me out of that lifecrisis/criticaltime/PMS/whatever so he made us all dress up & took us out to the city for coffee & mocktails instead. My dad's impulses are pretty awesome. Piano in the rain CD soundtrack, Darling Harbour with Starbucks, green-tea macaroon, hot chocolate, & Sarah forcing me to give up all dignity to skip with her through the rain. It was just the perfect thing to both distract and cheer me up. My parents may not know what to do with me but they do the right things. Sarah just happens to be there. Honestly though, I had no idea what was wrong in the first place but it did feel better after that little escape.

That's just what happened tonight. I would blog about thoughts but I don't think I could articulate any of them right now so, you'll have to live with this for the time being. Hey, it's something :P

Today was just one of those days.
I just don't feel like going through with this year.
