Let me tell you all a little story :)

On the 13th of March which was a Sunday night,
the Moomba Festival was being held throughout the weekend
and the closing ceremony was on a Monday.

Anyway, as we were all getting ready to head to Federation Square,
it began to rain, then pour.
Most of us nearly backed out and wanted to head home
but we thought, "we came all the way, may as well get wet".

So that's when everything became excitingggg! :P





The expression on Maria's face says it all.
"Huh? We're still goingggg?"
(Look at how wet the ground is behind her. . .)




This was the first ride we took. :) And I forgot what it's called but
FARNY things happened here.
Firstly, Audrey and I sat together while Lexis sat with Irina.

Normal people'd just leave their slippers and what not on the platform
but nooooo, Alexis sat on hers.
Well, Dree did too, but nothing happened to her.

ANYWAY, after the ride, we all saw Lexis searching high and low for something
but we had NO idea what.



Yes. Lexis lost her shoe.

Since only the 4 of us sat on the ride, the rest saw her shoe flying to God knows where
and we were ALL laughing.
Poor Lexis.
So we tried to help her look for it but it just disappeared.

But it was seriously funny.
So she continued the day without her shoes.





We ended up in front of this booth waiting for Irina, coz' as we were looking for
Lexis' shoe, she was taking pictures, and she thought
we were all heading back to the city to buy her a pair of shoes,
so yeaah.

Waiting patiently until,
SUPER jakun Lexis thought I really wanted to play this game
so she went up to the nice man and paid him $5.

I was like. . .

#1 - I do love playing carnival games, but that's ONLY when I know I can win it.
#2 - It's usually all a con to make yr money.
#3 - Alexis is crazy.
#4 - Make sure she doesn't know your likes and dislikes and what kind of person you are.

SO ANYWAY.

I was pressured into playing that basketball game where the hoop was pretty high up.
With $5 I could only get 2 shots.
So I before taking my chances, I just watched other people go ahead.
The nice man manning the booth was basically teaching this married man
how to shoot. He was saying to aim higher and loop it.

But knowing guys and their egos, the guy wasn't listening.
So typically, he missed both shots.
But the dude manning the booth was like,
Here's one more free shot, your first was your trial.

It was then my turn.
Before doing anything, I asked the guy,
"Does this mean I get a trial shot too?"
And he said sure. :)

The first I missed (WAY off).
The second touched the rim.
Already I was feeling super pressured coz' crazy Lexis paid for it,
I was like Damn la. Have to get it in. HAVE TO!

Then the genius went up to the man to give him $10 and I was like,
"What the!? LEXIS! I still have one more shot!"
And pushed her away back to the rest of them.

Back to that moment of concentration.
Breathe in, breathe out.
JUMP!





WOOHOOOOO!
(Actually, my expression's more of a "Stoopid, Lexis". . :P)

Hahha! I know. My expression doesn't say WOOHOOOOO
because! After it went in and everyone was like whoaa!
And clapping. I don't know WHY they were clapping.
Damn retarded.

Then I went back to them and was like, Lexis,
go pick your stoopid prize.

And she was like No, Jaccc. You won it so you pick it!
Omgg. So much drama just getting her to pick her prize :P

In the end she and Maria chose the Teddy Bear.
And I think we brought business for the guy coz we were all arguing
as to who should pick it.

And Lexis asked the guy to announce my name to everyone for getting
the ball in at the last shot.

UNcool.

But I'm glad it brought people to his booth la.
I mean, it was still drizzling so not many people were there.

So that's the story as to how I got my Teddy :P
If you see that picture more closely,
the teddy bear's actually dirty.

Wanna know why?
As we were arguing, I threw the bear to Lexis coz'
she paid for it, so she deserved it.
Totally not knowing her, she didn't catch it. . . .

And it fell to the muddy ground.

Great job, Lex! :P




After the whole bear thing, we went on more rides,
took pictures and basically had LOTSA funnn! :)

Chris, Jason, Maria, Hillary, Frank, Me, Irina and Dreee!





Before we knew it, the day got dark and we got food and sat by
Yarra River to wait for the fireworks. :)




♥




Jakun Lexis, Laughing Audrey and Me. :)


Oh yeah, towards the end,
I overheard a little boy asking his parents if he could
ride on one of the rides but they said no.

Not as in, "No coz' it's a waste of money, but more of a
No son, we're just here to watch the fireworks and well,
we're sorry we can't afford it" sorta tone. :(

And the kid was TOTALLY understanding!
Not like other kids who would, throw a tantrum and start crying.

So I turned around and was like,
Ehhh, here you go kid! :)
You get a free bear for not being able to ride on the ride :)

Damn, to see his face. Wooh. :')
His mum was pretty grateful.

Not like I actually needed/wanted the bear anyway. :)
It's like paying $5 for a priceless moment :)

OH, just so you know, I sneaked back $5 into Lexis' purse :P


Well, before heading home, Lexis still hadn't lost hope in her shoe
and we all headed back to the ride.

And to our surprise, she FOUND it at the 'Lost and Found' area!
Hahhaha! Damn weih.

It was a great day :)






Anyways!
Take care people!
I hope your day is as AWESOME as you want it to be :)
Byeeee!
