Ascension
Ok, now that the brain is functioning again, I can recap my experiences since I left work Friday afternoon.
Starting with dinner, Makoto now has one in Chatswood. Pretty good, still feels the food are fresher in the city, but at least now there's one in an area closer by and where I don't have to stress about parking. Yes yes, I stress about parking in the city, finding one, fighting others for one, parallel parking (without power steering) under the watchful eye of others etc... ok, side tracked, getting back to the point
Then, Ascension. The doors opened at 10. We rocked up around 10.30 and the line outside was heaps long. Thought it was the organiser trying to keep people out since it looks better with people lining up outside. Felt sorry for the ladies with painful shoes.
Although we had VIP tickets, we waited outside so we can pass tickets to friends.
Then the coppers showed up. Then more coppers. Held up procedures. No one was allowed in. Don't know what they were checking. Don't understand what the problem was, there's bound to be several of these organised dance stuff (refuse to say dance "party" as it sounds too high school) around the city on every weekend. Maybe the sight of couple hundred Asians gathering around unsettled them a little. I mean, we all looked so menancing- the skanky girls, the girls in painful shoes (If one can handle the pain of wearing high high shoes dancing for six hours, one must have the endurance of a suicidal martyr!) and then of course, the boys.
So the cops held up proceedings for about an hour. We feared that if they hung around any longer, people will leave as it was approaching 11.30, and if it doesn't get going before that, nothing will happen.
They left, looking over their shoulders, we cheered. We entered.
But the thought hit me, everyone going in at once, I won't be able to get to the bar!!! Oh no, not good. So we went up the road to a bar, downed 3 drinks in half an hour and then we entered. Quick drinks, the excitement, I got my fuel to really get started, and get started I did! Didn't know I had it in me at the ripe old age of 23, especially since I've been out of practice- and all without any help aside from vodka and tequila.
I danced my ass off!! We partied on til the place shut down at 4, I got back to Cel's without falling, walking into trees, walking into walls etc. Should be proud of myself, but I'm sure I would've had help. So thank you for all your support.
Saturday didn't start til 1pm. By then the pounding head was no longer, and it has just became a mild headache and an eternal blank look on my face. Pretty good, considering I haven't drank much for a long time. Good to know I still got it.
The rest of the day was a write off, lounging around, watching cricket but not seeing much. The best thing about the non-productivity was I can be as non productive as I please!! No thoughts of studies, obligations, chores- nothing!!!
So this is Sunday, feeling bright eyed and bushy tail, ready for the challenge of braving last-minute-weekend-before-Christmas shoppers.
And here ends my ascension to Ascension.
