Batch Trip 2010/2011

Ugh I don't think there's any part of me that doesn't ache atm.

My head aches from having frozen my butt off at night.
My knees ache from having been down on them at night, scrubbing the water off the room floor with tissues.
My butt hurts from having fallen hard onto the beach floor after Avi pushed me.
My neck hurts from having done the Matt-dance a tad too many times.
My feet hurt from wearing those shoes.
My stomach hurts from whatever I ate during those two days.
My legs hurt from dancing madly for four hours straight.
My arms hurt from swimming in the sea.
My eyes hurt from squinting at the toe-nails of over seven girls while giving them all pedicures and manicures.
My back hurts from...I don't know, whatever the hell I did.

Get this.
And the worst part is...
I didn't even freakin' enjoy myself much... :/

Anyways, here's a summary:

Got to school at 7.15am. I felt we were going to be a tad too early and I also felt under-dressed cuz Nutsy looked soo good - like a 60s Rocker, actually - and I was in a blue striped T-Shirt and comfy jeans with no makeup and my hair tied back in a pony-tail. Bo-ring! But whatever.
Only one person I wanted to impress and he didn't see me - though I was sooo lucky to get a glimpse of him just before we left and just as he came to school! He was the first person I saw. Like Destiny!
Yeah.
Like Hell, it was.
Anyways, left our bags at the gate and went in to fill our water bottles. Hiruni was already there and some other Commerce dudes. haha Masith steadfastly ignored us while Nishan and Sajiv gawked over Nutsy. Yay, score!
Talked with Samadhi at the water taps and talked with Sakuntha near the lift.

Bla bla bla, fast forward.

Anyways, Lakna, Thejani, Prashan and Ashan all came soon after.
Went to McDonalds to hang. Senuri came soon after. Spent aaaaaaaaaages in the bathroom, putting eyeliner and mascara on everyone. Asanka, Thinoo and Prashan almost went mad. They'd gone into the Men's Bathroom and screamed for us to come out, hoping we would hear.
But we didn't.
Anyways, ran back to school. Senal was wearing Sudee's shirt. The one where I said a skeleton was giving another skeleton head. hehe
Anyways, got our bags checked bla bla bla.

What else?
...
Nothing.

Got on a bus. Half the girls were standing. Me lucky to get a seat. Chris was sweet, talking about her hair and James and whatnot.

Anyways, awful bus ride.
Stopped by at New Monis Bakery for lunch. Awful time there.
Got on the bus. More awful-ness, except with better scenery and less bad smells.

The teachers probably realized that we were almost suicidal - either that, or we were too early for our hotel reservations - so we stopped off at the beach.
This was fun.
Got totally splashed by Avi and Ashan, chased Ashan around the beach and managed to take a few pictures.
Then came the problem.
I was soaked. In my only pair of jeans. All my other clothes were Knee-Length and shorter. You're not allowed to wear three-quarters or shorts for lunch, breakfast or dinner at the Riverina.

They needed to dry. In time for breakfast.
I had no hope.

Anyways, got back on the bus, soaked and all.
Another God-awful bus trip til we got to the hotel. Managed to finally stagger up to our rooms.
To find that it smelled like CRAP and we only had one bed in it.

We got another bed in and had air freshener sprayed.
Air freshener did no Earthly good and the Double bed looked super-comfy so we all decided to squeeze in and sleep.

Lucky spent ages in the washroom, me getting steadily irritated. And she wasn't even showering. Just changing.
Grrr.
She and Senu changed into their swimsuits and went to the pool. I hadn't brought mine along because I don't like wearing one.
Changed into my shorts and white top with the blue designs and hung out with Christina.

I did her nails and then did mine.
Then, Senu and Lucky got back and we decided to change for dinner.
Chris got dressed quickly cuz we needed to do her hair.
I did Senu's nails and Lucky's nails.

Somehow, Ayo, Mahishi, Dinushka, Jayani, Thejani, Nathasha, Sashini, Sachini, Chathuri and Namini all got dressed in here as well.
I did Thejani's and Chathuri's nails as well. Nathasha was doing everyone's makeup, Lakna was ironing everyone's hair, Christina was curling everyone's hair. Everyone was asking Senu's idea on their clothes and stuff.

People knocked on our door so frequently we put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door and started ignoring their knocks.

They knocked.
Someone would open.
They would dare to ask, "Is this the Hair & Makeup room?"

Room 120 had unwillingly become a beauty parlor.

After all the pampering WE did, everyone left, leaving me, Nathasha, Lakna and Christina half-dressed.
None of us had time to do her hair or makeup properly.

We all managed to look average and run down in time.

Everyone looked gorgeous except for me. I looked real plain. But I didn't mind. No one I wanted to impress even remotely.
Sudee looked like a Queen of Midnight - she was stunning.
Nathasha looked like a 80's Model-turned-Rockstar.
Senu looked so pretty.
Chris looked like a doll.
Lucky looked so classy.

But Thejani out-glammed everyone. She was soo pretty! Serves all the people out there who think she's overrated right.

Anyways, went for dinner. Saw Juleef. Didn't talk to him. Didn't feel like it. Sat with Senu, Thinoo, Asanka & the rest of the guys.

Nathasha got real upset later on because of that so we resorted to insults and it worked. She started laughing when I mentioned Oliver Sykes ♥
Went to talk to Hiruni, Sandith, Shamil and Chaminda. Had fun there.

Came back to our table and Madushka grabbed my chair away just as I was about to sit. Didn't even care when Nathasha told him it was taken. And I was just there.
Screw him.
Lost my temper, grabbed my stuff and stormed off to Hiruni's table. Gobbled down all her dessert and they all made me smile again.

Dinner Dance.
Woohoo!
Awesome awesome awesome!!
Partied like it was 2012.
Created a dance.
- Neck-cricking like Masith.
- Flirty giggles like Sajiv.
- An "Oh-You-Did-NOT-Just-Do-That" gesture like Varsity Fanclub.
- Butt shake like Max

We danced from 8 til 12.30.
Hobbled back to our rooms and found the entire room flooded because some sodding idiot had turned off the mini-bar. Probably one of our 'customers'. Irked me to no end.
Couldn't shower because it was freezing and the hot water was out.

I got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed the entire floor with toilet paper from the bathroom.
Lakna cleaned the mud from everyone's heels out of the bathroom.
Senu cleared up all the used tissues, littered items and stuff everyone else had left behind.

We fork out 4500 bucks to do maid service at Riverina.

Anyways, after all that - we needed coffee. Badly.
But our heater was all drenched in water and we were too scared to turn it on.

We called Ms Chitra and told her we were going to borrow some water from Nathasha's room.
Heard some Foreigner screaming.
Crept, ever so sneakily, to Nutsy's room and brought back a jug of hot water. I
There was a reeeally hot dude in the room next to ours. Looked like Samuel Larsen ♥♥ But he had a girlfriend with him. She looked mean and wasn't even pretty. But she was probably nice enough. I hope.

Anyways, made coffee, watched Anaconda 4.
It SUCKED.
Gossiped and went to sleep.

Woke at about 4, shivering in my shorts. Lucky and Senu were shivering in their sleep.
Moved to the other bed and slept. Senu woke up, turned off the lights and when we woke again, it was light but hardly anyone was up. Senu, wrapped up in her blanket, and I walked to Nutsy's room where she was up.
Walked around, the three of us. Ms Manel was reading, Ms Chitra was chatting with Tharaka.

Went back to our rooms. Blow-dried my jeans for about 30 minutes til they were a little drier and went down for breakfast. Food was amaaaaazing!!
Went back up to change cuz my top made me look fat AND because we were going to the beach.

Went to the beach and went in so deep. It was amaazing. Splashed Ashan. Swam. Jumped.
It was a blast. Prolly the funnest part of our trip :/

Afterwards, I realized that I was facing a dilemma: lack of clothes. I had only my last pair of 3-quarters left, my shorts, the T-shirt I slept it and the two that made me look fat.
So I stayed in my wet clothes for the entire Treasure Hunt.

Which sucked. Balls.
We didn't know the layout of Club Palm Garden at all.
I was so out of breath after running so much.
My toes were swollen.
All the guys cheated.

haha Waseem's group got the furthest. They got 14 out of 15 clues but the 15th one was found by accident by Ruchitha's group and they weren't giving up.
Anyways, I think a foreign dude made a huge freakin' fuss about something. I think someone knocked on him or something. Gawd. Dick. It's our country.

Anyways, afterwards, went back up to pack and change for lunch :P
Watched a bit of The Uninvited. Could hear Sachini screaming her head off but the movie was laaame.
Changed into my - dry! yay! - jeans and my Save World T-Shirt and went down for lunch.
Food was adamazing! But I think I had a tad bit of stomach trouble because I couldn't actually eat as much as I wanted to.
Afterwards took pictures, boarded the bus and came back to school :/ :/ :/ Was sick so I sulked the entire way back...

Sucks Sucks Sucks!

"And the world keeps spinning round; My world's upside down and I wouldn't change a thing. I've got nothing else to lose..."

I dunno, everyone asks me if I regret becoming a prefect. And I honestly don't know. Loads of stuff have happened this past year and the worst part is that I don't know if it was because of prefectship or just the way things would have happened anyway.
There's so much tension between me, Avi and Sudee. I still smile at them and I'd gladly hang out with them any time but not the same way as before. I didn't pick either of them as roommates for the batch trip. It wouldn't have worked out anyway. I mean, Avi and Sudee are pissed at each other again; Avi is apparently trying to steal Juleef away from Sudee and I totally understand what Sudee is saying. She is such a flirt! But come on! She did the same thing with Chrisal and I gave him up just to stay friends with Avi. Sisters Over Misters! Yeah! But nooo...some stupid guy is more important to Sudee than her friends. Gosh I resent Nadiya's presence. It's totally unjust and she's really nice but if she wasn't there, everything would still be the same with Avi and Sudee and Nutsy, that I know.
Anyway, me and Sudee. I don't know, she's such a girl! All gossip, gossip but I totally miss all the fun and crazy times I had with her. I still love her and that's what's totally throwing me off-balance.
Me and Avi. I miss her too - kinda. That's also confusing. I figured I'd miss her much more but I don't. I don't like her other friends AT ALL. She's become horrible in the last few months. I don't like Nisheeda, Haran, Dilini or Ovini :/
I'm really good friends with Prashan now. WAY more than before hence the ridiculous rumors. Which is fine. He's still the same ol' Proosh.

I was thinking about it and realized that Ashan is one of the only people I know that I would literally kill for. He's always been there for me whatever happens and it kills me that I haven't been able to hang out with him AT ALL for the last year. If he's pissed at me or thinks I've changed for the worse, I'd die. It'll kill me. He's the one friend who's more important to me than anyone else... I need to talk to him properly, explain everything and ask him stuff.

Also, I think I've changed. I know I've become meaner. I badly want to change that. Every morning, I promise myself that I won't say or do anything mean but when I come home, I realize that something I've said or done is so uncharacteristic of me.
Also, though I've lost some of my best friends, I've gained so many more and learned so many things. I'm way more independent now, able to stand up for myself and able to speak out in public.
Arghhhhhhh! I wish I could go back to being the same me I was in early February.
