It's been a while....

I knew April back in the good ol' days when we were both guest editors at CLEO in 2009 and boy, those were really fond memories that I had. Out of the other 4 guest editors I had the pleasure to hang out with, I'm actually pretty glad that April and I still kept in touch up till now.



We had dinner at Plaza Singapura before adjourning to SMU for its Starry Nite XIII: British Invasion performance to support April's boyfriend who's involved in EN-X, the final act of the night. There I met Dinesh whom I haven't seen in a long while. He was the emcee for the night and a pity we didn't get to enjoy a proper conversation.

Once again as I take in the atmosphere, I felt like I'm cheated of my university experience. While walking along the hallways of UQ made me feel intelligent, being part of this mass of students seated/standed on the steps made me feel alive. Like wow seriously, I never felt QUT was this happening while I was there. (Maybe partly due to the fact that I was always involved in cheer practice and rushing from one place to another for events/ activities and stuff.) The easy availability of alcohol just heightened this whole experience. After 4 beers and 2 shots, I felt like I had a rocking good time, just hanging out with April and bopping, singing along to the tunes the bands belted out.

Such a good experience that I might actually consider April's offer to check it out again at the next term-break or something. Ok, I hope I'm still coherent because I needa hit the showers and have an early night because tomorrow's.... gonnna be a looong day.
