Me:Zzzz..wah?
Mum: I said get up now.
Me: Wah?..huh?...Zzzz
Mum*little bit frustrated*: It's six o' clock. We're going to leave soon. Without you. Now wake up. *walks outta the room*
Me:Zzz..alright,alright. *turns in bed*
Annnnnd that was my day so far. Nah I kid. That was exactly at six am this morning right before everyone in my family(except for lazy, sleepyhead brother who stayed home) headed off to send our relatives back to homeland! My eyes were so droopy...but I managed to wake up, stay up, have a bite(if you call brekky this: sandwich shared with mum; had to rip into pieces cos of braces) grab my necessities ( Ds, mp3,camera, earphones and a bottle of water) and jump into the car.
No pit stops(cept maybe to go pick up the relatives to drop off at Sydney International airport).Oh!Plus Cabrammatta for some brekky take away. MY FAVOURITE DVD SHOP ACTUALLY CLOSED DOWN TOO!*cough,cough,nudge,nudge,wink,wink* Other than that, it was straight to the airport. Which I haven't been in yoinks, so it was quite fun to see it agains. The thrill of lining up for your flight, check-in, then wondering around aimlessly for the departure gate. Mind you, the shops here were really high class(Ok.Maybe 'The wiggly store' isn't as high class, but for high-class kiddie flyers?)
Here's an example of what I mean: We passed by a Guess store on the way out of airport. I eye a red shirt that I like. Check the price tag...Nearly screamed in the store. The price? $100. D: I liked the clothes from that brand...ah wells. Although, when I went to Westfields at Bondi Junction one time, I bought a Mooks shirt that was originally 90 bucks. It was reduced down to 60. Hmm.
What else...There was a bookstore. I absolutely adore books, so I automatically run inside, mesmerised by all these books surrounding me.(Lock me in a library and I'll sleep in heaven. Lock me in a gamestore instead, and you got yourself a ninja) The smell of the pages ripening away, the hardcovers, the print..ahhh. Wonderful.It truly is. This bookstore was sorta huge too(Not as big as Kinokuniya at TGV) But big enough to contain an added section of a News-agency on the side. Which was where I spotted the whole, cleanly organised rack of gaming magazines. I walked out happily with issue 4 of the "Gameinformer" magazine costing only $5. (Gameinformer had epic mickey on their issue 0 cover.)Lemme tell you, Gameinformer is a brilliant read for intellectual minds. That is all.
We also browsed this other store which contained everything, well more or less like a Duty-free store for technology, perfume, alcohol and the like.
They had the new-gen consoles for sale, including God of War III(watching/listening to a God of War series rant is the best by far). Swatch watches...I want one of those as well. Such high-roller fashion. Maybe I'll get one when I go to Europe.
It was quite sad to send off my relatives from Laos back to Laos, because then I realise (like I haven't for the past days of the repeated quote "When you're older you HAVE to go visit them/us") that I won't see them again until then.The last time they were here was when I was small. I've had a good time with them. I'm pretty sure they had an enjoyable time down here as well. Except for the fact that they would stayed for two more months here if it wasn't for family incidents back home not to be mentioned. Other than that, I wish them well until next time. Hopefully I'll be more fluent in Laotian as to communicate much better.
More photos from this morning: Samsung golden hand! Zoom!! Nice use of blocks...if they were Rubik's cube, that'd be a much better structure. Goodbye airport!Till another how many years.Driving in the M5 is horrible. Toxic fumes gathered here, no wonder there's so many asthmatics in this world.
Oh yeahs! I was also addicted(still am) to Rhythm Heaven(http://www.gamecyte.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/np240_rhythmheaven.jpg)on the car trip to and back. Didn't fit any Phoenix Wright in though, too busy reading GAMEINFORMER.
Now...my list of things to accomplish for the rest of the day:
- Bake a green sponge cake with cream in between layers with mini marshmallows..hmm maybe I oughta melt those marshmallows instead.
- Get pizza ingredients. Quick sticks!
- DO MY DAMN HOMEWORK.
- Play games some more.*I'm coming back rhythm heaven!*
- Organise today, so that tomorrow's Gaming marathon with partner in crime Jared((also other half of this blog since the start of holidays) heinous crimes) runs smoothly.
