A Stupefying Night

They say it's not healthy switching the computer on during the night..while you can't sleep. So with the dim light I have in my room, I managed to see clearly what was I writing on a piece of paper. And now, writing a post describing this wonderful event.

To start with the morning. Early morning. Went to catch the bus to the soon-to-be-attending college to give in my applications for the stipend.

By 3pm I was back home, in a rush.
Still had to take a shower, prepare for the next plan..during the evening.. water games.
Went to catch another bus..the seventh of the day to be exact, and finally after a long 35min journey to Rabat, we arrived..well.. on time.

We started the games with Lions and Tigers, but instead of the ball, we used water pistols and shaving-foam. One thing I'm glad about the game is that they didn't call my number, I used no glasses and couldn't see at all xD

Second game. We split into pairs, four to form a team.. with a towel each pair, try to throw the water balloon from towel to towel without bursting it.

Another great game, where one of two people should kneel down, place a water balloon with shaving-foam spread onto it and try to shave it, with a razor blade of course.. without bursting the balloon, I was so 'upset' when I went to rinse off the razor blade, and one of the co-ordinators burst the balloon with a tooth pick. Poor Bernice..and the other 'victims'.

The fourth game, a team of ten to stay on our backs, bums touching, feet up high and balance a bucket of water on our slippery, soaped feet.

Last game was the one where a team, split into two opposite sides working together to spill the plastic cups filled with water on a tray held by another team who had to go through the maze of buckets right in the middle of the 'obstacles' of balls being thrown.

Oh..and last but surely not the least the official water fight! Aaaa!!! Now that's what I call wonderful. I still wasn't even wet at all, they tried to wet me..they didn't succeed.
Then I decided to go rinse my feet in the pool from all sorts of dirt, then all of a sudden I lost balance and fell into the water, with a bucket of water Sirach threw at me..Thanks Ant & Anne xD

Then anyways to try and keep this post as short as possible..well I try.. everyone ended up throwing buckets of water to each other, 'swam' all together, laughed, joked and all that fun stuff, stuff where you can feel yourself, the inner kid you are.

I, um well actually he started it. He started throwing water at me, bucket after bucket..jokingly of course..I carried on with it and had oh-so-much-fun, enjoyed being silly around.

We bonded.

Picture this..laughter, splashing of water, shaving foam on each other's hair, face , clothes, balloons, feet-made jacuzzi, running, shouting in excitment. Everyone of us being the little kid we once were.

We were supposed to finish the water games at 11pm but we finished way earlier than that. We finished at 9.30pm. Called our parents to come pick us up. Some of us were still there, chatted around, ate snacks..I bonded a lot with him..and may I remind you that nearly all type of crisps taste good..but mine were probably an exception..he loved my crisps, his brother loved my crisps, his mom and dad loved my crisps..everybody else loved my crisps.

Some time afterwords, I noticed Ant, Anne, Sirach, Ber, Paul, himself and I think Steph as well.. where secretly talking to each other, and when I went by to join them..they changed subject or whisked me away. I think they're up to something. I'm so curious you know, and can't see what they're going to do to me. I wonder what.

I gave up.

Later on, we decided the meeting place and time and all..But whatever.
That was it.

And, last thing before I end this post, I'm still not convinced about the fact that Glenn and Robert DID speak to me constantly..especially Glenn, that they got me annoyed..I mean, I loved the fact they spoke to me..but since they never usually do, I felt..strange, surprised.

Was a night I will ALWAYS remember.

Ohh... and I'm remembering, at the very beginning, before we started playing ans fooling around..he wished happy birthday to his friend, and said "is there's somebody else who's celebrating his birthday?" I of course didn't speak..nobody did. Then he said, "Aaa..Audzz has hers next week!" AAAA..I could not believe my ears, eyes whatever they are!

He remembers.
