New Years!

Soooo, this year we thought we might get away from it all for new years. I booked a cabin at PK's in Cape Tribulation far away from the city and the taxi cues and the upperty attitudes of the drunkards that hang out there.

A few hiccups at first, we left far later than we had intended then on arrival we discovered that they had us down as arriving tomorrow!! Without anything further from us the girl on reception changed it all and handed over the key to our room.

It was very basic lodgings with a double bed and an ensuite, no fridge, no cupboards but at least it had an airconditioner.

We dropped our belongings in one corner and headed for the pool.

For dinner we went to the attached "resturant" and both got the chicken parmasians.

It rained most of the night and well into the morning.

The next day we hired a bike after brunch and headed to the beach, it rained a little the whole time but by the time we got to the end of the beach the wind had really picked up and it was bucketing down. So in the pouring rain we rode back to our cabin. When the rain stopped we headed off again on the bikes, this time along the roads to the creek.

We started our night out the front of our cabin with jaggerbombs. The couple in the room next to ours had the same idea and were quietly talking while drinking. Paul took them over a jaggerbomb each they in turn offered us some banana cocktail they were making.

Ten minutes to 12.00 we all headed over to the bar for the count down. We wished each other a happy new year, paul gave me my new years kiss then we headed to the bar to get a drink.

We mingled with the other patrons and had a few laughs.

This chick come and sat next to us and was talking to one of the other guys who was already sitting with us and she told him she would let him cut her hair, so he did! Using the smallest scissors he hacked away at her ponytail and eventually got through.

At around 3am the bar would close, we headed back to our cabin just before. Although we were invited to the beach party by several people, it had started to rain rather heavily again and we thought better of it.

The next day we relaxed in our cabin getting over our hangovers.

ARGH crazy October

So its been awhile since I last posted!

And whats been going on?........

Well actually not much, but I did just return from a trip to Brissy and just had to tell someone.

I flew up on friday with no great dramas, except that I totally got off at the wrong trian station and had to walk a LONG way to get to my hotel..... just lucky my bags were light!

I spent MAYBE ten minutes in my room before I decided I just had to get out. I sent my txts out that I was here and went fishing for people who were out, then right when I was almost going to give up on the stupid hotel elevator that was taking FOREVER to get to my floor,

I GOT A BITE

Scotty was out!

It was kinda a long night, first in the valley then headed to Davids house for dinner and more drinks, brilliant night catching up with friends!

Headed back to my hotel after 1pm and went straight to sleep.

Saturday I get up 'fairly' early (remebering that I was on holidays) and headed to southbank for the craft fair. I didn't really spend long there but I did buy heaps of supplies. Also the swarovski crystal beading entries were on display (obviously not all of them, just the best).

The winner was this phoenix design, gorgeous yes?

On the way back I saw a poster for an exhibition on costume design and couldn't resist a look (I love design). After having a look around I noticed a flyer for a gothic musical THAT NIGHT! I had to see it and immediatly bought my ticket!

Then I went shopping! You may be thinking clothes, and I did get a few but most of my day was spent at the comic book store!

Comics Etc... Love that store on Elizabeth Street.

I headed back to the hotel after my fruit purchases at Coles.

I dranks wine and ate strawberries! Watched a bit of TV and got ready for a cultured night of gothness!

"Up Jumped the Devil" was excellent!!!! And I must say I do love Nick Cave songs. Its playing at Cremorne Theatre, QPAC till october 31st. Truely a treat for only $35 (with BF)

Sunday was apon me and I had to return home.

I love my old home Brisbane and can't wait till the day I can return!

I'll leave you with this!

Smiggle Addict!!!!

I am now addicted to Smiggle stationary products!


I bought this water bottle for 50% off today, how bloody cool is that!? AU$5

Bloody Cool Weekend!

Met BRad last weekend.

Went to watch Dj Sun Control Species at Fabric had a totally awesome night. Ran a muck in the club met a bunch of new people on the night.

Belinda was out of control but as gorgeous as ever, and full of life.

Left the club after 3am. Attempted to sneak into the house afterward and failed misrably! God knows how I knocked all those bloody bottles off the kitchen table.

In the bedroom I attempted to get ready for bed while actually in the bed itself.

HAHAHA

The next day Paul and I went for a lovely bike ride to the esplanade for lunch. I had a steak at Rattle and Hum. Then we rode back via the botanicle gardens, a very nice ride.

Sunday I actually felt quite tired.

Monday night I was the only one at japanese class again! Then the other receptionist fell ill on tuesday. I had to make a cake as it was my bosses birthday on wesnesday and the other receptionist usually makes them. Too bad noone thought I was going to do it. Even the other receptionist txt our boss wednesday night to see if he had gotten a cake. No faith!

It was infact a bloody yummy cake, cherry chocolate mud cake based on a recipe I found at gourmettraveller.com. Thursday was fairly quiet and the other receptionist came in though she wasn't there very often and certainly didn't help too much with the phone, but at least it was a long weekend and I got friday off. YAY!

Thursday night was another Vodka Thursday! Went to Bels and Brad came too. Though we left once a bunch of other people turned up.

When I got home the boys had been drinking and were keen to go out. So I quickly got changed and we headed to Mad Cow.

They wouldn't let Eamon in Mad Cow with his 'work boots' on so we went to RhinoBar. Bel was out as well so we went and met her and her english friends at sapphire bar. We then headed to Lounge. We later headed to Woolshed (upstairs from Lounge) although Bel and I left to go home soon after getting there.

That was my week. Blah yeah?!

Oh well, I enjoyed myself most of the time. Loved last friday though.

Cant wait till it arrives

Next Adventure

So my next trip will be Japan, however things are not going to plan......

Sound like they are not going to give me more than 2 weeks off at a time at work, so that sux.

This also means the best way to see as much as possible in a very short amount of time is to go on a tour...... However tours in Japan are REALLY expensive! SUX!!!!!

So got to work all that out.

May have to just stick to one area of Japan and go without a tour :-(
Will have to work out the money thing later (seeing as it is still 12 months away), as I want lots of money to spend on souveniers like this DecoCchoa toy i found on the KiddyLand website.

Maybe the way to go is get a small tour for all the other stuff then just spend a few days in Tokyo exploring......

We will see. Not much point worrying about it now though...
