CNY 2012.

Heya! Happy CNY yo. CNY finally arrived, and I have waited for it to arrive with some sort of weird, nonsense anxiety/trepidation. But it came. And it wasn't that bad. 

On Friday, I got up with super determination fuelled by the weird, nonsense feeling of anxiety/trepidation, and I CLEANED. I put my clothes and my sheets into the wash, wiped down my table and other surfaces, and cleaned the sink. Then I vacuumed my room. It was a sort-of fail tho, because the vacuum wasn't functioning properly. *shrugs, it's the effort that counts :P* Then, because my flatmates were doing it, I helped out to clean the kitchen/living room. It was an absolute mess because they built a fort the night before! -.- They as in my flatmates and the lads- James, Jack, Cathal and Finbarr. Haha. Edel joined them in the fort, it was pretty funny. They turned over all the sofas, brought out duvets and blankets, brought jugs of water, crisps and oranges into the fort. And they said like, life is simple in the fort, all is equal in the fort, there is no time in the fort. And stuff like that. Hahaha. Oh, and Tras and Julie (from Clon) came over with CHOCOLATE CAKE and pasta. So there were loads of chocolate-covered plates everywhere. And the fort ppl thought it was a good idea to start throwing orange peels at ppl outside the fort. -.- haha. SO yea, it was a mess. So we started cleaning and, took a while, but we got there. And we cleaned the toilet too, emptied the trash and stuff. :) Also, had to take out my laundry and make my bed, and folded my laundry. And folding actually drives me crazy because I try and take the creases out by folding it properly, and my fake OCD makes me try and fold everything meticulously. Bah. So it was a full day of cleaning! :) ::GROWN UP:: 

Sat night was the dinner. I went to town during the day and tried to find a CNY top. SO MANY NICE BRIGHT COLOURED tops in Oasis, but so expensive. Like €30-€40 for a blouse la. UGH. And I also realised that I don't look very good in soft colours. Like soft pinkish cream colour? Light pink? Doesn't suit me very well. :/ hahaha omg so random. But anyway. I bought a BLACK blouse in the end. So much for CNY top. But it had colourful flowers/butterflies or whatever on it la. At least it wasn't totally black. :/ It kinda looks like an old-woman's top, but I dunno, I like it. And it's not too expensive so yay! ::it's something:: 

The dinner. It was nice! Went to Pier's Head Restaurant I think, somewhere in Blackrock? There were like 30 of us there. Asian loud man! As always, our gatherings weren't exactly quiet, cuz after the food, ppl started walking around to talk to other ppl they weren't sitting with. It was pretty cool. The food was quite impressive. :) The best, hands down, was the SOUP that was the starter. OMG. OMG OMG. It was really good oh. It was like the soup mum will cook!!!!! The light herbal one, not the western creamy soups. It was chicken vegetable soup. With the red dates thingy. (Are those even dates? The red small things that are always in our soups -.-). YUMMYYYY. Then went to Paul's after, people played Fifa, played Dota, watched tv, played cho tai ti, gambled playing black jack, and we played bridge. TRUMP CARD! haha It was funny. Bobby was funny. He became so confident as he won more and more. When he won the bid, he would choose his partner and say "FOLLOW ME". Hahaha it was enjoyable. 

Then we left. Aysha, Roshini, Bobby, Sam and I. They didn't really want me to walk home alone, as they were all living opposite Paul's place. Aysha even offered her bed for me. Cuz I didn't want them to worry even though I thought it would be ok walking back alone, I decided to stay with Sam. So yea, first sleepover! It wasn't like a typical sleepover because it was already like 2am or something. So we just talked a bit and slept. :) So yea. That was how, according to the lunar calendar, I stepped over the 2012 threshold, into the snake year of 2013. :)
