9pm hit, and we hoped for families to rush off home to bed, leaving us with a spot to sit, but there were fat aussies sitting around, chucking us dirties because "we couldn't be bothered getting here early, and expect somewhere to stand." Ended up getting really close up to the bridge, but realised that our group was standing in a line, and that would be the case for 3 horus. Decided to go back to where we originally were, hoping Linda's parents wouldn't see our return. I'm pretty sure they didn't, and I sat there with Emily, Davo and all just talking. Bonnie called soon, and went to go and pick her and Gabriel up, and when we got back to our spot, we waited for Emily and Lan to return with Jimmy and our alcohol. They came back, but poor Jimmy got the smirnoff all over him and his bag, because people were pushign and shoving their asses around. So sorry dude (next party, your alcohol is my shout :)). We drank our ruskis, and I surely felt so much better. Lan, Emily, Bonnie and I started dancing to the random music pumped up at the club we were outside of, and some random dude tapped me on the shoulder. Em says he was a curry, so, EW. And Emily had a stalkerish curry next to her waiting for her to turn around, but she had absolutely no clue he was standing there. LOL at him. And Lan had this random German (hot) dude into her all night long. Dammit, if only he was single, she could've gotten a pash&dash. Lol. 11:49 hit, and we all ran off to a better place to get a view (which was on teh road). Lan landed her foot in some glass, and bled pools of blood. I was like, OHMYGA! but the girl defined woMAN, and just splashed some water over it and chucked a bandaid over it. Luckily there was an ambulance parked on the road, and so she got it looked at, but she missed the fireworks, which were totally smashing. Ran around trying to catch the best position, and it sucks that you were so close and I had no idea.

The 12am fireworks ended, and we headed back to George St maccas. Bonnie was in her 12cm high heels, so we took the longest, and got back there at like almost 2am. Went up to K, which was probably the funnest part of the whole night. Rapping it out with Scott and Hyok, and having everyone so into it this time, really made the night smokin hot yo! K ended, and we walked around the city like nomads, because again, having a big group makes it hard to agree on one decision. Ended up outside WorldSquare on the corner of Goulbourn and Pitt St, and Panjo made his way up there. Sat there adn talked to him and Jimmy for a while until the whole mob of us decided to head off somewhere else to bum at. Ended up at Supre; how very classy. By then, Jimmy, Emily and I finally made our way to teh hotel that Truong (emily's family friend) had promised to let us crash at. "Checked in" at 5am, and "checked out" at 8:30, where I probably slept for an hour and a half in total. Half an hour was spent on the floor, and the other hour spent in a chair, with my head buried in my arms folded on the coffee table next to my chair. I guess we purely defined the term "crashers" for those three hours. Surprisingly, the whoel room was filled with ex-seftoners from class05, and we all talked about teh old days, with Emily in the band, and stealing 1st place in the TalentQuest, which was supposedly belonging to the CurryMunchers. Lolololol. The world really is very small.
By the time I had left, my teeth had not been brushed, and face was unwashed, so I resorted to buying a tube of toothpaste from 7/11, and went into the restrooms of Maccas in Wynyard to do my morning business. Thank God there was noone there, and I got everything done quickly. Got changed into my workclothes, and headed out of teh restroom while someone headed in. Good timing or what? Got myself some breakfast, and made my way to MYER, where I slept from 9:30 to 12 in the Staff Lounge on level 6. Woke up in time to clock on, and start work at 12.
Time went by probably the slowest yesterday, because the place was basically DEAD. Around 4, the girls started organising a beach outing for today, but everyone was like, burnt and peeling, so the idea got scrapped, and they decided on dinner for tonight. Tai couldn't do it tonight, and I think others also had plans, so the whole idea got scrapped at 5pm, where everyone got off work and headed home. :) Home never felt so good, and i collapsed onto my bed and slept til 9pm. I woke up to a room pitch black, looked at the clock, and thought to myself "wow, this is gonan be one gloomy day." Probably took me a couple of minutes to realise it was night time, since I heard my mum watching a drama that came on at night. Got up, ate dinner, showered, and msn'ed the rest of the first day of 2008.
