Barbecue in the park
I'd like to clear one thing up, I AM NOT EMO. Just because my wardrobe has a lot of black and dark colours, doesn't mean I'm about to go kill myself. It just means that I'm economical, my clothes all MATCH so I don't have to waste time and money getting the right outfit. (note - I said ECONOMICAL not CHEAP).
I woke up at 10, had a shower and was out of the house by 11:10. When I got to the park, everyone was waiting for Roswin and Manvir to get there. They were just about to start cooking. Rowena, Anil and I went up to Coles to buy more drinks, which we dumped on Anil because "he's the man". When we got back to the park, they were STILL cooking. Stupid park barbecues are pretty much useless because they never heat up to hot enough. The sausages and hamburger patties were cooked after about an HOUR but by that time I was loaded up with chips, lollies and lots of soft drink so I didn't even end up eating that much barbecued food.
I can't remember much of what happened while we were waiting for the food to cook. I remember it being really windy and getting hair in my mouth. I remember sitting with Tara, singing love songs and getting evil glares from her other half (Ashwyn). I only sat with them because Kymbat, Rowena, Roswin, Chan, Ying and Nhu were on the see-saw making incredibly weird noises. They actually made a sound recording of it...but I can't post it here, I'd like to keep this site to at least a PG rating if possible. Vincent arrived at about 1:30, after wagging sport to hang out with our crazy selves (Tara says I have multiple personalities). Tara and Ashwyn were sitting together on the bottom of the red slide, thinking they had managed to escape me. Not so, I found them and forced them to take more photos. Unfortunately Tara has neglected to send me all the cute coupley photos I took, so too bad. Click to enlarge. All the photos with dates on them were taken with Tara's camera.
Tara and I waiting for the food to cook, look at our poor hungry faces...
"Is it cooked yet?"
"I think my chicken is still moving *pokepoke*"
Tara snapped a picture of me looking innocent after discovering her hiding place on the bottom of the red slide.
Vincent, Alice and Chan getting cosy up the top. Ros, Rowena, Nhu and Tara down the bottom
Me, Chan, Rowena, Ros and Alice on the cute little red slide
Ros, Me and Alice on the monkey bars. Ying on the ground
Tara and Ashwyn mysteriously disappeared...again, probably because I was distracted by Vincent's arrival and they saw the opportunity to cut and run. Anil and I went looking for them. I bugged Anil by humming the Pink Panther theme over and over again. We discovered them on a hill far far away and decided not to bother them (which required a lot of self-restraint on my part I might add). On our way back, I noticed Vincent sitting all alone under a tree which was PERFECT for climbing. I told Kymbat because she's the one who wanted to climb a tree. Big mistake.
Where's Kymbat...?
Oh only about FIFTY FEET OFF THE GROUND!
She noticed Tara and Ashwyn on the hill far far away and proceeded to sing "THE HILLS ARE ALIVE, WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC" as loud as she could. An old Chinese man was walking pass and gave us the evil eye. Tara and Ashwyn rolled down the hill far far away, Rowena and I decided we wanted to do that too so we ran there and rolled on them. There is a really bad picture of me looking really dizzy after rolling down so I won't put it here.
Ashwyn and Tara after rolling down the hill far far away, you see how far they had to run to escape me? Click to enlarge
Everyone climbed out of the tree and came galumphing our way to roll down the hill. All except Ros who was stuck in the tree. HAHA. Someone had to carry her down in the end. When she finally got down to groundzero, Kymbat and co. decided they wanted to climb the tree again. So they did.
This time Ros kept her feet firmly planted on the ground as Kymbat, Anil, Nhu and Alice climbed the graffitied tree.
After that, Rowena, Vincent, Nhu and I went to BH so I could get fake eyelashes. Then I went home so I could get ready to go to the orthodontist. My parent's never even realised I'd gone out today, see they trust me so much.
The last time I went to the ortho was a year ago, so they took an x-ray to see why my wisdom teeth weren't coming out yet. Turns out I'm completely MISSING the top pair of wisdom teeth, and my bottom pair are impacting. That means, they're lying pretty much sideways. I will have to have an operation to get them removed and it's going to HURT so MUCH! Mum said I can go under general again but only in the school holidays. I also have to wear my top retainer again because I need to push my teeth out a little. Awww, I'm going to start lisping again.
Promise not to laugh...
With love,
Mel

Vincent pointed out that he wasn't sitting all lonely under the tree, he was in fact SLEEPING under the tree. There, satisfied?
