SMASH! v2

My version of SMASH! ;)

Nhi and I went to Smash! as volunteers yesterday. It was "okay". Very small, but it was cozy. I liked the volunteers this time compared to Suapnova. Way more easy to communicate with. We were in the Karaoke department. Last thing to cross our minds, thats for sure. Turned out to be really fun. Its really interesting watching people sing, whether good or not. I thought it was great. There was only one person that killed my ears, she yelled into the microphone and was high pitched at the wrong times. And she sung twice too. @@. The confidence. Whoa. All in all the vibe of the Karaoke room was excellent. Nice and bright and it had a large audience! Everyone was nice :)

***There was only one way to distinguish us "volunteers" from the patrons; the arm bands! I reckon its a very smart idea ;)***

On our breaks we went to see what stalls were in the Roundhouse and very little caught my interest. Though i was really tempted to go to PININ but i was just as broke as Nhi. No i was far more poor than her. I could not spend more than $5 on food so lucky we were given free food ^^, Even if it were only cold pizza and empty coke cans. Finally i dragged Nhi to PININ and then the guy that Nhi is aquatained to (Jackson i believe is his name) recognised her and surprisingly was able to get a limited edition toy she has been craving for. Yay! That made her day! And she also got a twisted book of nursery rhymes! That was so adorably wicked!

Anyway the food was very limited. They had a Takoyaki store that took 20mins to make four balls and this little "Paris" bakery. Pretty neat. Very fresh! Nhi and I split a Strawberry tart in half and it was delicious!

The rest of the day went by like a blurr. Soon enough we said goodbye, had some nice cake and left. The night was still early and I was nowhere close to going home. So we went to find late dinner.

Went to the city of course. First Nhi needed the loo. This is a rare moment. LoL. She never needs to pee (i wonder where does it all stay?) This part of the night was the funniest! There was not one place Nhi could go to that had an open toilet. We first went to the building across Capitol, and the toilets were locked so we went upstairs and apparently the toilets there has been demolished. Decided to stroll to Market City. There Nhi was able to find a proper toilet. Still hungry we left to get maccas. And she needed to go AGAIN. There was no loo at maccas,so we decided to head to the Darling Harbour one but we didnt notice till we were right at the entrance that there were metal bars and a huge padlock indicating that this toilet was closed. Made me laugh so hard. So we chose to go to the toilet at the China Town foodcourt. The glass doors wouldn't open but there were people about, and when Nhi put her hand on the glass it opened. And to my amusment all the escalators were in one direction; downwards. We could NOT go up. *snicker*(I'm so mean, I know). The toilets are at the top floor. Busting Nhi whines and whines and i can't seem to remember how she found another toilet. Hahahaha!. It was just hilarious.

Yea ... the rest of the night was spent at Gloria Jeans sipping hot chocolate, iced chocolate and eating sweet krispy kremes. Twelve o'clock came 'round and we had to leave. 'Twas freezing out in the open air. Caught the train and then a cab home.

While we were waiting for a cab to pick us up this path-cleaning machine was coming our way and it was very noisy. So we ran all the way to the next street and i honestly believe the driver found this amusing and sped up a fraction. Ahh! It was so dark, cold and deserted and all we hear is this loud petrifying machine that looks like it will run us over. And to my surprise when we did get to the next street, minutes later it was behind us again! I was sure it was going to turn the corner away from us, but NO! It just HAD to cross the small road and force us to squash agaisnt the railings holding onto our dear lives. I am SO sure the driver went off course to scare the crap out of us. But of course, i don't give a flying fart anymore. So onto a brighter topic...

Next up is Animania! Can't wait!

Cheerio!
