random melbourne memories
I had to delete my previous Melbourne update coz it was becoming something like an analytical 6-page dissertation so here's some random memories instead. A bit late I know but I was hoping for ppl's Melb photos... :(
- Eating like pigs
- Lugging 6L of water around (and cradling our bread, preciousss breaddd)
- Waiting an hour and a half for dinner in a near-empty restaurant coz the staff were too busy watching the cricket!
- Anjali's fried maggots haha we were so pov
- Horny curry guys overpopulating Mercury Lounge using Smitaa's bum as a handrail and asking if I'd like to get naked
- Fake Robbie Williams managing to thrust obscenely in just about every 80s/90s classic his band covered (that's talent)
- Dragging luggage into the restaurant of the classy apartment building we were going to stay at and making ourselves at home... until Jenni calls to tell us we're in the wrong building
- Rushing dripping gelato back to the apartment for Edi (reclining comfortably on her porcelain throne) in like 40 degree weather??
- Coming home thinking Jenni was sick and finding her sleeping - in the arms of Daaaannny ooOoOoOooo!!!
- Smit's obsession with Kiefer's sexy tennis legs and her barechested hunk of mannequin meat at Myer
- Forging up a hill on a hot windy day with our luggage and inside-out umbrellas
- Posing for tourist shots at every building, street corner or rubbish bin in sight
- Panjee lifting me off the ground every time we saw a "Pick me up" sign :D
- Pitying every fool at every opportunity (but not knowing what exactly that means)
- Wearing dirty thongs to shower coz no one knew what that weird brown spot in the bathtub was
- Smitaa knowing every word... to every song... in every shop / restaurant / musicMAX video...
- Kissing marshmallows as if they were soft fleshy lips (we'll never eat them in the same way again)
- Spying on a feuding couple on the beach who could clearly hear every word we were saying about them in our "hushed whispers"
- Playing spot-the-celebrity at the tennis and spot-the-goth/metalhead in the streets
- Getting kicked off a tram that was "slightly broken", then kicked off the next one which had to go the depot due to the previous tram's brokenness
- Queuing for last-minute Rod Laver tickets for 5 hours (and Panjee, Edith and Gen queuing 2 hours to get their hair done...)
- The guys who serenaded everyone waiting in the desperate-for-tickets queue (and bumping into the cute French guy at the airport ;) )
- Girly chats about holiday constipation (not naming names), boyfriends, definitions of love (and whether Geneva has any) - hey at least we've moved on from plucking/waxing
- Cars turning right from the left lane! wtf
- "You know who's [random word]?!? YOU KNOW WHO'S [random word]??!!?"
