The Colour girls returneth...

We've been back for a few days actually, but I've been busy unpacking from last weekend and repacking for my holidays this weekend that I haven't had much time to post!

The 2007 'Colour Your World' women's conference was awesome! It was soo much fun, and holding it at Acer Arena made so much better because of the amount of women that were there!! I've already booked myself and my family in for next year coz 2008 will be even better!
The presence of God was everywhere and you could see the speakers stirring up something in everyone. Some of the messages were simple, but sometimes a person needs to be reminded and re-inforced! Anyway, it was a fantastic weekend away, not to mention the fun we had crashing at Katie and Deborah's flat! It's an awesome little place, nice and central, easy to get to, and close to KFC and the railway station!
The games night we had for Deborah's birthday was truly memorable! If you want more info, look at Naomi's post!

This saturday I am going away on holidays with mum, and Liv. It should be good. Well, lets face it, any holiday where you actually leave the town you live in is always good! We're going on a meander down the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, and then if time permits, we'll head into South Australia for a while. We're only going for 11 days, but it'll be cool (11 days without the internet? What will I do?!). I will do a holiday post after I return (I can tell you're all excited about that, the same way people are excited when someone says 'lets have a slide night...'!!!).

Today is my dad's birthday, and while he doesn't have the internet or read things like this, I just have to say: HaPpY bIrThDaY dAd! :)

Fun Things To Do In An Exam!!

Ok, I know we have all finished our schooling and will probably never have to take class exams ever again, but I was cleaning out my cupboard the other day and came across some 'useful exam strategies' my Biology teacher gave to us just before our HSC exams! They may provide some entertainment for you!

• Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of relief. Go to the instructor, say 'They've found me, I have to leave the country' and run off.
• 15 minutes into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell 'Merry Christmas'. If you're really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every 15 minutes.
• As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.
• Every 5 minutes, stand up, collect all your things, move to another seat, and continue with the exam.
• Come into the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 minutes, put on a white mask and start yelling, 'I'm here, the phantom of the opera' until they drag you away.
• Try to get people in the room to do the Mexican Wave.
• During the exam, take apart everything around you. Desks, chairs, anything you can reach.
• Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up.
• Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all questions and answers completely blacked out.
• If it is a maths/science exam, answer in essay form. If it is long answer/essay form, answer with numbers and symbols. Be creative.
• Bring balloons; blow them up, start throwing them around like they do before concerts start.
• Bring cheat sheets for ANOTHER class (make sure this is obvious - like history notes for a maths exam) and staple them to the exam, with the comment 'Please use the attached notes for references as you see fit'.
• Complete the exam with everything you write being backwards at a 90 degree angle.
• Stand up after about 15 minutes, and say loadly, 'Okay, let's double-check our answers! Number one, A. Number two, C. Number three, E...'

To all you kids out there, this is not to be taken seriously! Although it would be fun to see someone ELSE do it one day! ;op

Some of these were very tempting to try during the HSC!

Just thought I'd help you waste about 5 minutes of your time!! ;op

FuN gOoDiEs!!!! :)

Last saturday, Naomi and Peter graciously hosted a party in honour of my return to PARKES!! :p

Well, it was more just an excuse to have a party, eat junkfood and play games, but that's as good a reason as any!

Naomi has already posted about the random night, but as I need another post, I will ramble on about it too!

I got a huge bag full of various delicious goodies such as salt & vinegar chips, Cadbury Snack block, a bag of fun sized Pinics and a huge bag of Maltesers!

All my favourites! Apparently, Liv was supposed to get Jaffas and M&M's Mix-ups, but she let the team down and forgot them! Not that they were needed anyway! There's always wayyy too much food at these things but I'm sure Naomi, Pete and the kids don't mind left-overs! :)

Our attention span on the night was quite short, and we managed to play Emperor - scum and Trivial Pursuit without actually finishing them! Trivial Pursuit is my game, and while I love trivia and useless facts, my version is a little too brain-draining to play and you have to be really lucky with the cards to get questions that you know the answers to.

One game we did manage to finish was Cranium (the picture on the left appears to be the Danish version or something!).

This would highlight how cool and awesome the game actually is.

I love it cause it's got all sorts of different categories, etc, so you can't really get bored in it. If there's a category you don't like or aren't good at, there's bound to be another one that you can do. It pretty much seems to have rolled about 5 games into one!

Plus, it comes with groovy purple play dough :)

There were also some interesting internet ramblings involved too!

Technology compounded with tiredness, sugar and hyperactivity makes for some very interesting reading the next day!

These experimentations with internet codes, etc, were, for some reason, hilarious at 2 o'clock in the morning! If you want a glimpse of what was going on, take a peek at my Cbox (Nomes, you're a classic!)

It might be a case of 'you-just-had-to-be-there' to fully understand the hilarity though... :)

I would put pictures of the event on here if I could, but I didn't manage to take any photos. Plus, my computer or internet or whatever doesn't seem to let me post photos. It does, however, let me post pictures of stuff I have found on the web, hence the very enlightening photos you have before you.

The next picture I am about to upload is an old ad I found for Maltesers. I hope you find it full of wealth and encouragement, just as I did. Girls, it's a good sign for us all.....Too-rah!
