5 against 1

My weekend,

Alright. A little late to blog about the weekend (3 days ago) but I'm gonna do it anyways. Right. So. Still at a loss of what to do for the friend. Hm. We'll see what happens this weekend. I hope he's coping okay. o.o Not that I ever talk to him. But still.

You know what's slightly annoying? I used to be able to wallow in self-pity and think my life was full of problems and complicated issues, justifying it by saying I didn't know anyone else who had to go through what I was going through. I thought I was oh-so deep and contemplative. Kind of. But now, whenever I feel like no one's life could be worse than mine, I think of everything he could be facing. Alright. I actually don't know the details, or the current situation. I'm only going by what he told me a gazillion light years ago. And what I observed last Saturday. In conclusion, I can no longer feel sorry for myself. My problems are minute and childish in comparison. Like I said, slightly annoying.

Right. Melbourne Uni Open Day was on Sunday. Here's the thing. All my friends didn't want to/couldn't/couldn't be bothered (glares) to go. Kendrick and Martyn didn't know how to get there, so I was supposed to show them. Then it somehow ended up with them two, and Dong (Daniel), Daniel Chew and Chris. D: All guys. D: OTOKEE?! (korean for 'what to do?!') I was dreading being the awkard 5th wheel while they all talked about COD and other guy things. D: And it was like that for the first half an hour, aided by the fact that I couldn't speak.

Tensions (imaginary or not) eased soon enough. And kinda had fun. :) The train ride consisted of me half listening to music, half talking about whatever, half getting squished amidst other train riders. We split up into threes when we got to the uni, with Dong, Daniel and I going to Psych, Chem, Law and Engineering faculties and Martyn, Kendrick and Christ going to Actuarial Science, Physio and Commerce? Free lollies! And pen. I don't think I actually learnt much. More like squeezing through crowds of people and grabbing random information booklets. Still haven't looked at them. Or the Monash ones for ages ago... There was a random incident with the drinking taps in which I didn't know how to turn it on. And some random had to help me. I so would have figured it out in the next second. Dong and Daniel teased me for the rest of the day.

Then it was lunch at McDonald's. We were in the city and we decided to eat McDonald's. Sigh.. Ah well. On the train ride back, the guys tried being 'macho' and took turns running out of the train when it stopped to sprint to the rubbish bin and chuck whatever rubbish we had. It was quite entertaining.

Altogether a pleasant day. :)

Slightly less awkward around boys, LOL
