Summer At Elysee

And so, we finally closed the book "Summer at Elysee".

Mournfully, we packed our stuff and cleaned the place for the last time on Friday.

I woke up early that morning to find Mar and Wenli asleep in the living room.
Ah, how we'll miss the sight.
Time was well spent as we started operation "Final Pack and Clean" right away.
Haha, Wenli and Ainul were both kecoh cause i was helping out even though i had an exam the next day.
But yeah, i wasnt going to let you guys have all the fun =P

We took pictures and a video, but i can't find my camera cable right now so i'll upload it later :)


Anyways, two trips later (thanks to tikah's/safwan's car) elysee was officially empty.
Like, totally.
Wenli and Ainul then halau-ed me to Grainger where i studied for my Calc final.
They went on to berjoli at the Recylcing Center, Marketplace and DHL office. haha.
Oh, and Ainul got a hair cut :)

But yeah.
Tomorrow (technically, in a few hours) at 10am, I'll be meeting up with Meghan to return the keys. And that will definitely be the end of that.

Elysee, thank you.
You provided us with a place to stay.
You sheltered us from the harsh Illinois weather.
You provided us with an atmosphere for us to live, love and laugh.
You brought us together.
Summer would never have been the same without you.
On behalf of everyone who has lived there, thank you :)

arizona tea and milk anyone?

Elysee is spending its last few days with its beloved owners. At a corner, is a box full of food which we have been living on for the past few days (Like refugees =P). No pots and pans. Just bread, fruits, instant noodles, cereal, nutella and biscuits. And of course, Arizona tea. Endless (paid) supplies of it.
So far, so good. Exams, lack of sleep, junk food, unstoppable laughter, weird jokes, emotional traumas (maybe this is just for me), they all come and go.
Meh, it's been an emotional week eh?

Man, summer's like speeding away. Oh, I almost forgot. Bravo to all of us who made it through the long summer 2 session. =p. Fighting against the tempting laziness was definitely an arduous battle. Congratulations Elysee!
Hey, i havent made it through summer 2 yet :(
STUDY!!

I'll sambung later. I'm just too excited right now. =)
kerang, ketam,
warm the cockels of heart...

"Night fever, Night fever....

we know how to do it!...
Give us that night fever, night fever...
We know how to show it!"

So the girls of Elysee graduated from Dance class last night.
Decked out in our nice outfits, (you three looked wonderful btw =))
and armed with our 6 weeks worth of skill lessons,
We headed for a cozy pizza party before hitting the dance floor.

At the Regent,
we were awestrucked by the way the ballroom was decorated,
it was themed "tropical night".
Everyone else was in floral prints and what-not.
Saf was dressed in a pretty lil floral patterned skirt. =)
Maybe we should've stop and picked up a flower each to be pinned to our hairs ;)
Haha! Then again, can you imagine ballroom dancing while having to secure the flower in it's place every five minutes?
Okay, that's me being random.
There were so many couples professionally doing their thing...
twirling and swirling around the ballroom.
We weren't too bad ourselves!! ;)
The odd huge bunch of youngsters hanging around there did stood out among the crowd!
Anyway! If I dare say, Ainul, Alina, Saf and I had a great time!
Swinging to music, being waltzed away by our dance partners,
and even fake dance through a couple of dance styles! =)
I personally thought faking Polka was fun! hahah!
I'm really gonna miss this class...
Was great while it lasted.

As it all came to an end,
We bade goodnight to everyone,
and continued on our final mission of the night.....
Decked in heels, dresses, and skirts,
Ainul, Saf, and I were seen picking boxes at Walmart!
What a hilarious sight that was! =P

Oh well...
More scrubbing and boxing the next day!
Sighs...

D-Day

So tomorrow's the big day for Wenli, Ainul and Safwan :)
And perhaps other Actuaries out there, but i tak tahu la.

Wenli (surprisingly) is ber-emo-ing with emo songs. *pats head*
+ she's studying for her exam.
Ainul was watching the Terminal :) *pats head*
+ she's studying for her exam.
Safwan's studying for his exam.
hehe.

Mar's doing Calc. *pats head* I know Calc is evil Mar.
Saf is also doing Calc. But she's also ber-emo-ing, listening to the Sindarela song.
Haha.

The house is a mess.
There are boxes near the entrance.
My room's a mess too cause i've started packing.
Tan, the bed's empty cause i put your bantals and Teddy in a box already. teehee.

Starting Friday night, operation "Clean and Pack" will officially begin.
We'll be cleaning the place and i think we'll only be living on the ground floor area-ish.
Cause we've decided that we will only be using
- ONE bathroom
- ONE cooking pan
And you know, stuff like that.
Basically, the house will be totally empty by the end of this weekend.

Sedih kan? :(
