Aggressive Seagulls and Shifty Cabbies

Yesterday, a group of friends and I went to the 18th Biennale of Sydney, considering it happened once every two years. We assumed since it was the last day of the exhibition that there wouldn't be as many people. But we were wrong. The ferry lines were super looooooooooooooooooooooooooong. As per usual, I overslept. Typical Anita. I set my alarm at 7am, so I could get ready and take the 9:02 train. Unfortunately, I woke up at 9am instead... I think next time I should set up multiple alarms.

So we got off at Circular Quay and to get to Cockatoo Island we had to take a ferry! It was really relaxing because we were at the front of the line and got to sit on the top deck! The sunshine + breeze + view of Sydney Harbour = chilled Sunday morning! And as if one bad thing led to another, because I woke up late: I wasn't able to charge both my phone or my iPod. Which meant I was only able to take a few photos before they both died. Luckily Maria, Jessica and Joanne came with their flashy cameras, so I'm sure they'll post the photos up eventually if you were interested in what the Biennale had to offer (even if it has ended)

The artworks were very interesting to say the least. Some were slightly peculiar and confusing, while others were eccentric, whimsical and truly inspiring! Although this wasn't part of any artwork, we did get to see one of nature's beautiful creations! Whilst I was staring out into the harbour, I noticed a family of seagulls perched on the other side of the ledge. There were the parents and two super fluffy and adorable seagull chicks!

We left the island at around 2:30 and due to the long ass ferry ride, we missed the train that we were meant to catch to get to tutor on time. We also missed the train after that because it was either food or tutor. And we chose food. No regrets there! We got to Liverpool at 4:20 ish and since we were absolutely exhausted Maria that genius suggested we take a taxi. I should've known not to trust that taxi driver because he didn't even know how to get to our destination and had to use his iPhone to locate it. So we got to tutor and guess how much he charged us. $15!!!!!! I don't even think he actually pressed the meter, because when we asked him, he paused and said "umm.... $15." I kid you not. I seriously wanted to ask him for a receipt, but we were late enough as it is and sadly, I ain't that great with confrontation. But next time, I won't be as stupid to get ripped off by a damn Indian taxi driver. Or any taxi driver for that matter.

Be prepared taxi drivers. I am ready for you!

diabetes in a bucket.

Otherwise known as a 9.3L of 7/11 slushee.
So after a rather unpleasant maths exam, Richard, Raymond, Lauren and I had the wild idea of buying some buckets from a dollar shop and abusing 7/11's generosity that was BYO Cup Day.
The first stop of our sweet sweet adventure was the bargain store at Ingleburn! Originally, we were only going to buy one bucket and share the slushee. But instead decided to buy 3 when we got there. And off we were, a bunch of school kids carrying black buckets to 7/11!
AND OMG YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED.
So we're waiting at the crossing right, across the road from 7/11, and these dumb bitchez in short shorts came up from behind us and ran across the effing road when the indicator turned green. And to make matters worse they took all the fliiping slushee so we had to wait for it to freeze again. aw hell no.
But anyways, we were just standing there waiting and these two guys rock up with some stupid Dora The Explorer bucket that was probably only a litre and uses the machine (we let them) and the dumbass gets the watered slushee all over the floor because his stupid vase was stupid.
But yeah, we finally got our slushee and Raymond being his primal self stuck his head into the bucket to drink it :)

After that we chilled at the park and took a lot of photos because it was the BEST DAY EVER! But it was so windy so half the time we were just protecting our bountiful supply of sugary goodness. Anyways, someone said they wanted food, namely KFC, so we trekked to KFC with our buckets and took more photos on the way there. Got to KFC bought the All Stars chicken meal thing and yeah. We stuffed ourselves until our pants/skirts almost burst. Thank goodness Raymond was in his trackies.

So that was basically our fun filled day! It was such an awesome experience with good company and good food :)
