Mood: tired but slightly exhilarated
Song stuck in head today: Because You Live by Jesse McCartney

NOTE: Because of the time difference, times posted will be in Cape Town (local) time of GMT +2.

Wheeeeee!! I finally arrived in Cape Town today at around 9am. Cleared through immigration pretty quickly (thank you Commonwealth!) and then proceeded towards the baggage claim. While waiting for my bag to come around, I chatted with this guy called Musa, a South African. We saw each other at KLIA (he was actually sitting next to me while waiting to board the plane) and he was sitting a few rows in front of me on the plane. I thought all the while that he was 18 or 19. He was playing a PSP for godsakes! Then he told me he was like 30 years old. No shit. He certainly didn't even look 25! But he was a nice guy. Really friendly. I gave him my email address because he asked for it, let's see if he actually emails me (haha when I told Gabz she told me to check my email straightaway).

My bag took ages to arrive. I thought it had gotten lost or misplaced on the way to KLIA from Singapore. Imagine my huge sigh of relief when I spotted it. Cleared customs ( I don't think I actually signed the declaration form when I handed it to the officer *shrugs*), wheeled the trolley out, and gave the hugest squeal/scream/shriek whatever you want to call it. When I stepped outside the airport I couldn't actually believe I was finally home after like 2 whole years away. But the nice cool fresh air told me I was really here, and I was ready to have fun for 3 whole weeks. We then drove to International School Of Cape Town to pick up Katia's report since it was the last day. Ahhhh.... memories!! I managed to see Miss Cameron, Miss Cilliers, Miss Gibbs ( she looked waaaaay gorgeous) and I also saw Mr Johnson! Finally around 10.30 we had to head off. But not before I took a long walk in the garden - the place where food fights were held, where Mark and Daniel ran off with our lunches, where we would try to save ourselves from their constant torture.. sigh...

We arrived at Gabz's house in the late morning, then headed off to Cavendish Square for lunch and just to walk around the mall. I seriously missed it. We ate at Nando's (because they didn't have that in Singapore) and I had a Fanta Pineapple. Then we met up with Lindsay. Ohmygosh she looks so gorgeous!! Her hair looks really nice long. I thought that it was pretty good timing she was at Cavendish the same time we were because she's leaving on Sunday to go to uni. Gonna soooo miss her. Then went to Musica where I found Hanson's Live From Albertane!!!!! Omg you can hardly get that in shops anymore. Of course being the HANSON fanatic that I am I just had to buy it. Yay! Another album to my collection.

After that, wnet back home and took a nap because we were going out at night and I didn't want to be tired when we go out. Turns out I slept for 3 whole hours! Hmm... I must have been more tired than I thought I was. When I woke up, Phillipa had arrived to go out with us. We went to a place called Town. It was quite nice. Had something to drink (I'm not sure what kind of alcoholic drink it was) and we sat in a booth talking to Phillipa and Gabz's friends Brian and Brad. They were pretty cool guys. Then we went to play pool at another place called Stones. Haha there was a girl who looked pretty young and wasn't allowed in. Luckily we all looked old enough even though I was the onlu U18 (Gabz, Brian and Brad were over 18). We split up into teams to play pool. I played with Brad while Gabz teamed up with Brian. I must say that I totally sucked, even if only at first. But Brad was a pretty good teacher/teammate so I learned pretty fast and I felt really elated to sink the eight ball at the end of the game. Yay me!

So anyhoo it is now 1.40 in the morning, my eyes are killing me, its freaking cold and I need sleep. Gabz is downstairs with her boyfriend Warren. Boy this is really one long post. I think it's a record!! Gosh I think the fatigue is getting to me. I hope I don't wake up late tomorrow and waste the whole day. Toodles!~
