Daylesford/Hepburn Springs

I've a feeling that this month will also be not a very good month. On Sunday, I witnessed another car accident happening right in front of my eyes at the junction outside the university. Indeed I was right.

On Monday morning, after I left my house, I had a feeling that something wasn't going to be right. And again I was right. Was supposed to meet ZQ at Southern Cross station at 7.30am as the train would be departing at 7.49am. I arrived at 7.12am and decided to check out which platform the train was departing from and perhaps grab something for breakie. The queue at Hungry Jacks was very long, extending to the exterior of the store and I called ZQ to see if he wanted breakie as well as it was already 7.25am. He picked up the phone sounding as if he was still asleep. He had overslept. He tried rushing over but couldn't make it in time. I didn't panic but was calm and relaxed (well, a litte). Daryl was supposed to pick us up from the bus stop at Daylesford at 9.50am so I smsed him to tell him about the delay. After Ryan came, we went to the V/Line counter to enquire what time the next train was with a connecting bus to Daylesford. It was at 12.45pm. Instead of waiting so long, we bought a ticket to Ballan instead and Daryl picked us from there.

We arrived at 10.10am and Daryl picked us up shortly and we went to his house to unload our belongings. We went for lunch shortly. Went sight-seeing as well as to a bee farm. Bought 2 bottles of honey. Went to a nearby forest and collected dry sticks, logs and pine cones so we could start a fire in the fireplace in Daryl's home. We stopped by the restaraunt and ordered a take away. We had a filling dinner. 2 different types of pasta, 4 fish flakes, 6 scallops, 4 potato cakes and 3 cakes with red wine. The food wasn't really nice compared to the one I very first ate in Daylesford when I came a couple of months before as it was from a different shop. The fish and chips shop which I wanted to buy from was closed on Mondays. Watched an episode of Will and Grace as well as Sex and the City. I called Chris wishing him a happy birthday. It feels good what someone actually thanks you for something which you've given to them. Wheater a not the person appreciates it is another issue altogether. I seriously hope that he appreciates it too. I slept thereafter. 3 persons sqeezing onto a double bed isn't a very good idea. I felt so cramped up that decided to go to the living room to sleep on the couch instead.

I fell asleep after some time but couldn't really sleep well as it was cold. I was wearing my t-shirt with my jumper and a short pants. I had my other hoodie to cover my exposed legs. At times, I would just wake up due to the cold. At about 8am, I went back to the bed as it was cold. Not long after, we had to wake up. We headed to Daryl's spa as he had to prepare it for his clients who had an appointment for that day. We went over to The Convent for brunch. The Convent used to be a former convent and is currently a art gallery, museum and a place used for functions, events and weddings. There is also a penthouse at the top of the building it is available for visitors to stay. I would really love to spend a night in it during my birthday. Perhaps I would next year if I can afford it. Went over to a chocolate factory thereafter. I bought 2 boxes of chocolate, 1 for myself and 1 for Chris, and a packet of milk chocolate powder for making hot chocolate. I guess he would think that the chocolates would be his birthday present but he's in for something more. We headed back to Daryl's day spa. As it was close to 2pm, I went to select my tutorial bookings. To be horror, all the slots which I planned were taken. I've now 2 hours of tutes on Friday. That means, I'm back to having a 5 day week of school. What luck. ZQ and I decided to have a go at the spa. I chose to have a massage and facial done. It was nice! Simply relaxing and soothing. It was time to head back to Melbourne and we thanked Daryl for hosting us and bringing the both of us around.

While on the coach to the railway station, I had an sms from Chris saying that he couldn't make it to the Sovereign Hill trip as it's on a Friday and he had to enroll for university. I was taken back and was a little uncomfortable then. I suggested if it was fine to go on Saturday instead if I could get Sovereign Hill to push back our reservation but sadly he replied that he had to buy books. I was very very disappointed. I had looked forward so much in going to the trip, planned and put so much effort into this trip and now this has happened! I can't blame him for enrollment if that's the only day as his studies is more important. But buying books? I wanted to pass him the chocolates which I bought for him but he didn't want to meet so I decided to pass it to him tomorrow when we meet to go shopping instead.

It's time for sleep soon. I'm really tired and upset. I'm not even sure if the shopping trip will be cancelled again.

I know that V and I will never be together, but I just hope that V will turn its back against me, which I've a feeling that it will. There are so many things that just crosses my mind. Time will tell if I put things into action and how long I can put up with it.
