Complaining about studies as usual....and someone mentioned the phrase "NO PAIN, NO GAIN" just for motivation. Suddenly, one went on to say...."yeahhh....NO PAIN, NO LOSS..get it?get it?" The rest were giving uhhh-what-on-the-earth look...only to realise that person was on a different frequency altogether...and no we soo didnt get it!
Finally deciding to pay the university amenities fees, one went proudly to the cashier and presented him with the bill. Cashier was staring at the bill, looking all puzzled. The person was all ready with the student card and the bank card. The cashier...looked at the bill for a looongg time...n pointed out that the amenities fees had already been paid. The person looked confused and saw the bill properly for the FIRST TIME...and realised the fees was paid. The person....trying not to look foolish....jz smiled and thanked the cashier and left as quicky as possible. The cashier was laughing by then...
Trying to look all smart and important, one went up to the lecturer to ask a question after a lecture...for the first time. That person was trying to figure out the answer using some equation given during lecture and somehow couldn't get it. The person showed the lecturer the workings and he pointed out that the equation was wrong...it was supposed to be 2 not Z. Basically, the person copied down the wrong formula. Finally realising the mistake...the person jz left...
During dinner...
"Broadway?"
"Bombay? no not Bombay...Delhi.."
As usual...different frequency....(Broadway is a shopping centre near our uni)
Two people were walking together to class...one of them happened to look elsewhere for a while and when the person turned back...the other one was at least 1 metre away!Apparently, the other person almost tripped and landed up 1 metre away....
"I am soooo hungry...."
"But you jz ate half an hour ago!"
"That was half an hour ago...now I am hungry again!"...and to prove the point, the person's stomach starts grumbling...LOUDLY...
"Have you seen my ear-phones"
"Uhhh...noo....better check the pantry...might have left it there the last time..."
Didn't find it there and after a few days later,
"I found my ear-phones!!"
"Oh cool!where did you find it?"
"In my pants pocket!And I had given them for washing..."
"So your ear-phone was in the washing machine too??Are they still working??"
"Yeahhh.....now they are cleann....and they work too!!"...with a huge grin...
One fine afternoon....
3 people were in a room....one of them was busy smelling the hand of the other....which smelt like cranberry-flavoured cream. The only person not busy in the room suddenly said..
"Hey!listen to this phrase....'Looking for a treasure...may I see ur chest?'"
The person who was still busily smelling the hand and not listening to a single word.....automatically looked down at her OWN chest!!
Two people sitting in a room....
"I want chai.."
"I need to wash my cup..."
"Chaiiiii...."
"Cupppp...."
"Chaiiiii...."
"Cupppp..."...and it went on for a few times...(chai=tea)
Sounding really retarded...both of them really lost it!
Went to the city one day...jz to buy food...Went to BOTH KFC and Mcdonalds!Bought tons of food..and hogged practically from afternoon till late night!!Some acted as if they have not eaten for the past few days!!They had this hugee satisfied smiles on their faces!!

"BITCHY" Waitress...MAJOR case of 'SWEET diarrhea'....AND almost getting caught...
Today was a very special day....it was THE day of our floor outing. I woke up early today, which rarely happens on a normal weekend, and got ready. We were going to Burswood for lunch. Burswood is quite popular here in Perth as there is a hugee casino...and well people jz love to gamble. Apparently, they even have a hotel there....and even restaurants. We were going for a buffet in one of the restaurants. Everyone of us were quite excited as we followed our 'resident advisor' or RA like little kids going on some field trip. This was a good chance to mingle around and get to know our neighbours...
When we first got there, we were a bit taken aback by the crowd. There were sooo many people and the queue for the food was huge! We were wondering why it was so crowded...until we saw a couple dressed as bride and groom...there was a wedding reception going on. All of us were reallyyy hungry by then and after we kept our bags down and went straight for the food.
The first section as we went to take food, was filled wif desserts!They looked soo delicious. I was actually contemplating whether to jz have the dessert. My friend, 'No', was even worse..she wanted to start from the desserts and go back to the main course. Reluctantly, she gave up the idea. First, we went to the salad bar..or the cold bar. There were mainly seafood and abit of salad. I am not really into seafood so I didn't have much (since I was planning to hog on sweets). 2 other friends, M and N, filled their plates with almost everything. M's face was priceless...she was acting as if she has never eaten food for the past 5 years at least. After finishing our starters, we went to the next section..which was the main course. The main course wasn't that good and again I didn't have much. Finally, it was time for desserts!
'No' and I excitedly went to the dessert section. There were soo many different types of sweets! From cheese cakes, to sponge cakes with chocolate on top, to tarts, to coffee cakes, and the best part was this hugee CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN! There were marshmallows to go with the chocolate. We went crazy when we saw all that. We took each of almost everything and of course marshmallows with loads of chocolate on top. Now usually I don't eat too much of sweets...but today I ate excessive amount of sweets! It's like as if I have 'sweet diarrhea'!!After finishing almost all of whatever I took, I was very very very full and felt very very very guilty for eating that much. To lessen the guilt, I ended up eating fruits...though I doubt that would help.
There was this waitress who was serving us and she was soo cool. She was asking us to guess where she came from. 'Switzerland', 'Italy', 'France', 'Lebanon' and some other countries were mentioned but they were allll wrong...She came from Hungary it seems. The whole time she kept asking us how the food was and we all said we liked it...and she kept saying, "Bull-****". The way she was commenting about food and people were really funny!!!We jz couldn't stop laughing.
When I was finally done, I couldn't sit anymore. I wanted to walk around since I was sooo full!!To make matters worse, I started feeling very sleepy. I could have actually fallen asleep right there and then. Thank goodness everyone was done too and we left. M and I, and a few others decided to head back...while the others decided to gamble.
This is where M and I did the stupidiest thing. Usually we have to buy tickets to get into the train...but sometimes the authorities don't check and we decided to take the risk. We boarded the train without buying a ticket...but then again we were rushing for the train. So anyways, we got out of the train at our stop and we were near the exit when we saw...not 1 but 2 authorities CHECKING the tickets!!!We were trapped and were in bigg trouble!!I tried to use my 'SmartRider'(it is like a value card which can be used for both buses and trains) but that was completely out of money. The authorities called us. One was dealing wif M and the other one dealing with me. The authority dealing with me checked my card using this machine..and found out that I didn't use it at all. He said,"Basically you are travelling with no ticket" and I jz gave him this blank look..I couldn't do anything else anyways. Lucky for us, they were really nice and the one dealing with me asked me to buy a ticket there itself and show it to him. I did that and I was free to go and before leaving he told me,"At least it's better than paying $50"...and yea I agree..it is MUCH better...BOTH of us learnt a very important lesson...ALWAYS ALWAYS buy tickets before travelling in trains....
Then we came back to our rooms and I had to take medicine since I was feeling very bloated. M went to sleep and I was jz walking around and writing this blog...and well now I am done. Overall, it has been a very eventful day...Hmm...I think I am going to sleep for awhile. I can barely keep my eyes open...
