Melbourne Dental Student's Convention 2006

As usually i left Adelaide the day after the last exam, I couldn't stay there any longer. I had left for Melb this time instead of syd cause of the convention. I spent the first few days at my cousins and on Friday nite sticks and therese wanted to go clubbin @ Platform 1, Flinders St Melb. Initially being use to the adelaide crowd i was intimidated in the hardcore looking asians there, but after a few drinks we danced the nite away and was dam lucky to make it home in one piece. Sunday nite we checked into Ibis hotel. The welcome was held there and there was a tab on the bar that I couldnt ignore. Sticks being the alco he is encouraged me to drink as much as he did and before u know it 1 hour had passed and about 10 drinks were downed. Robo and Maria then drove us to Lygon St to have good old fashioned Italian food, little did we know that during this week we'd be eating pizza at least once a day. Day 2 started wif dan, joe and i being keen and rockin up to the lecture, big mistake, though the lecturer was cool he was sooo boring, as if we didnt know wat tooth mousse is. After the lecture we went on a shopping adventure down melbourne central but with no success in finding the right clothes. That night there was a pubcrawl, well thats wat i thought it was, and thats how i treated it as, so i went from pub to pub drinking up the tab. Little did i know that the next night was gona be a drinking nite on a boat so i didnt hold back during the pubcrawl. The melbourners CLAIMED they were gona go hard the next nite so they restricted themselves to lemon lime bitters. Perth followed suit and decided to form a lemon lime bitters society. After discovering that a lemon lime bitter costed as much as a bourbon and coke at a pub i was appauled those nerds wasted the bar tab in such a fashion. I promptly and drunkenly walked over to EVERY SINGLE ADELAIDE student there and said, NO LEMON LIME BITTERS FOR ADELAIDE, and making me proud adelaide stuck to it. But for me it was a disaster, i was in the gutter spilling my guts in no time. There was no way i was gona be up in time for the morning lecture and i was freaking HUNG OVA. I wasnt even allowed to sleep peacefully either wif drunk randoms in me hotel room. We did wake up for the trade show, and thats where i met Cameron, the dodgy guy who sold me me loupes. He finally gave in due to pressure since surigel was OVERLY eager to get details to come to adelaide to make a presentation, so Llyody, another sponser for the AUDSS. After the trade show we ate yum cha and omg, melb yum cha is totally SHITHOUSE compared to Sydney, and far out, im not being biased, its a fact. That night i was so hung ova during the boat cruise i couldnt drink to my potential, though i came close to spilling my guts again. There was some tension mounting with the perth and melb 'gangsta' asians in dealings wif chicks. A few melbourners decided to beat up a lime stone wall to defend their 3rd year female collegues. The next morning we had to wake up at 7am so we could catch a bus 100kms to Ballarat to attend a rural recruitment lecture, biggest waste of time. But at least there we met an eccentric melb PCU tutor who thought everything was shithouse. After visiting the rat we decided to go down Chappel St for some more SHOPPING, but no success there, nothing was on sale. That nite it was bowling nite and an excellent place and a brilliant event all in all, makes u think, how do we survive in adelaide surrounded by such shitness. Oh BTW asian melb dental chicks are way hotter than any chicks in adelaide, for sure. The next day we doged the lecture again and we dogged the scavenger hunt so we could try our luck once last time wif shopping at Chadstone, Success, I blew over $300 on a stupid shopping spree. Robo and Sadia joined us and luckily Rob drove us back in time to get prepared for the Ball. The Ball wasnt wifout its dramas, perth decided to get drunk, except for the ones who faked being drunk of lemon lime bitters, u know who u are, except for rebecca who admitted she does so ur cool dw, ahaha. Dan almost got into trouble wif some over protective 3rd year "gangstas" and Harry Potter was sexually assualted. Other than that me sticks and dan drunk heavily again. We returned after the ball to our room cause the after parties were shithouse. Dan was pissed again and so he pranked called all the dental students rooms, claiming he was darth vader and that he had lost his starship. The next morning we had brunch and said our final goodbyes, and PERTH is doin the convention next year, not Adelaide, PERTH!!!
