Failed Halloween III

When we finally decided to leave for the club, it was already 11. We took metro to get to our destination. It was actually very fun to just walking on the street or taking the metro at downtown on a Halloween weekend. You would see many people disguised in thousands of interesting creatures. This is what I encountered that night. Arrived at the club, there was really a HUGE line up. Thought I had been in this club several times, it was the first time that I saw such a long and crowded line. This Halloween event is very successful. So we started to wait in the line. A night of the end of October in Montreal was getting freezing. So this huge crowd just stood in the wind and waited, waited, waited. The line did not seem to move in 10, 20, 30 minutes...We waited for one hour already and just did not succeed to get in!!!

At 12:30, we just decided to give up since even the bouncer said "the night is done". Disappointed, I and my friends went into the AMC building to take seat on the banc in order to relieve our feet that were deformed by the heels. Some of my friends decided to go home. So I and my friend thought it was better to go back as well. Since it was already 1 the metro had stopped. We took a cab to get back to my friend's residence. I did not sleep well on that night since I can only have a sound sleep in my own bed. In the morning as I woke up, I was wondering why my parents did not call me once the entire night the following morning. I tried to find my cell phone but I could not find it anywhere. At that time, I realized that I also lost my cell phone!!!But where...? The most probable place is on the cab. This is the second time that I lost my phone in the cab. This Halloween night is such a failure. I did not have much fun and I lost my cell phone. This is life...?

Failed Halloween II

So arrived at the predrink, I and my friend ordered a chicken fried rice first. Of course we can not drink with an empty stomach! The little bar in which the predrink took place was pretty amiable. The wall was decorated and the light dimmed in order to create the atmosphere of Halloween. In the small space there were full of people who dressed up to become the creature that he or she wants to be in the innermost of their selves. People chatted between each other, played games, and drank. One thing that is a little bit disappointing was that although the predrink was called "all you can drink", there were really not much choices. There were only four kinds and they were all too much diluted. Nevertheless, I had a good time there: I met some people and played games together.
At 10:30, the organizer of the predrink advised us to leave for the club because he believed that there would be a huge line up for tonight, such an unique occasion. Nevertheless, we still decided to stay for a while longer since we did not had have enough drink. This proved to be a wrong choice...

Failed Halloween I

The midterm weeks were long and busy. Every week there were exams and presentations and almost every night I stayed at school library to study. So, the Halloween party was really something that I looked forward to since it was at the day that I have done all the midterm exams. After this seemingly endless midterm period, it would be a great occasion to have some fun and to celebrate with friends the end of midterms. However, that night was not as good as I expected.

It started in a rush. Since I had my last exam in the day, I spent all the time to study and I did not think about my Halloween costume. After I am done with the exam (which was no as hard as I expected), I had three hours to figure out what I am going to wear for the event. I thought three hours would be plenty of time for me to look to a costume, but I ended up to be wrong. I underestimated my procrastination and indecisiveness. Though I easily found a theme for the costume (Greek deities or goddess), I spent LOTs of time looking for the right clothing and accessories to create that ancient Greece feeling. Unexpected problems continuously popped up and it ended up that finding all I need for the costume in three hours was impossible. Finally I decided to wore the clothes I brought (just a normal outfit) and the hair ring my friend made for me (because she insisted that I NEED something for Halloween). I should make that decision in the first place, thus saving me from the stress and pressure that I felt during the three hours, while I run around the whole world looking for the right outfit. When I and my friend arrived at the predrink, we were already late for 30 minutes and we still did not have our dinner. Nevertheless, by that time I got eased up from the rush and felt very relaxed. I started to get excited for the night.

Want to know what happened after? The story continues tomorrow!

Let's Start It

Welcome to my blog!
Here is the my space, my horizon, my world.
It is the window through which you can see what I understand, what I think, and what I believe.
I will talk about the places I have travelled, the foods I like, the things I encountered, and all those precious moments of life that I cherise. By slowly recording them, I will also have a better understanding of myself.
It is also a great place to communite with others. So please leave comments!
