Last night Liz, Ben and myself went to Campbelltown West League’s Club for Liz’s cousin’s birthday. I hadn’t been there before and was surprised by how nice it looked, especially considering it is Campbelltown after all! We stayed for a while though Ben was pretty ill so we headed back home fairly early. We are all driving along, Ben is driving Elizabeth’s crappy RAV4 and I’m driving my usual awesome car… we end up having a P plater driving infront of us, he was driving ridiculously slow, Liz honked the car’s horn and then went to overtake, when all of a sudden the car in front speeds up and wouldn’t let them overtake. Ben ends up behind the P plater once again and all of a sudden cans of drink are being thrown out the window along with a large blow up swimming ring (as pictured above)! None of them hit the car luckily, but once we pulled over we couldn’t stop laughing about how random and weird it was (though admittedly quite dangerous)!

Hey everyone, I have finally got around to making a new blog update! So it’s been a while but not too much has happened other then the stress of leaving uni work untill the last minute. There has been a few things worth mentioning though (not in any particular order);

• It’s my first day of the holidays today! Wooo! That means I have finished all my exams! (wether or not I passed some of them will be interesting though.
• I went up to the Blue Mountains to see Jenolan Caves and the Three Sisters with Hayley (an English girl I met on the plane to Manchester). We had a good time and it was well worth taking the break off from studying. We stayed in YHA in Katoomba which was pretty good and it reminded me of hostelling in Europe and how much I miss it as well as the travelling that comes with it. We went out for Thai and amazingly enough it was the first time Hayley had ever tried it and offcause she loved it because everyone loves Thai! Hayley also learnt a bit about Australia and the Aboriginal flag she thought it was the Japanese flag hehe. It was really windy though and it would of been a bit better if it wasnt so strong. Hayley sung the whole way in the car hehe (don’t tell her but I don’t think she should go on the British Idol show lol, sorry Hayley!).
• I bought some snowboarding gear and I’m hoping to use it sooner rather then later!

So thats about all really my friends; Liz and Ben are in New Zealand which I am very jealous about lol, it has prompted me to think about my 21st birthday, I’d much rather travel with a few close friends then have a large party. I’d enjoy it so much more and there are going to be that many 21sts next year I’m pretty sure I’ll be sick of them lol. So I’m thinking about getting a few friends together and going to Queenstow in New Zealand, Queenstown is great, I was there a few years ago but we didn’t experience any of the night life which is meant to be good but I wasn’t old enough I’m mostly interested in going for the snowboarding though and that should be awesome

I’ve been looking for a casual job, I’ve applied for all the usual big retail companies online and now I need to start going around to little places, its a bit hard at the moment hopefully it picks up after the end of the financial year. Anyway I’ll leave it at that and hope to update soon!

Well first of all I’ll start by wishing a Happy Easter to everyone! I hope no one is feeling terribily sick from all their chocolate (thank god I don’t eat the stuff!).

Okay now for the weekend… it was a long weekend and so Ben and I decided it would be nice to go out into Sydney for the day, we made no plans at all as to what to do but we thought it would be good to get out of the house for a bit and also we hadn’t been in Sydney for a while. We decided to go to Centrepoint Tower as I had never been to the top and Ben hadn’t since he was about eight, we checked the prices and decided to grab lunch before we went up.

We ended up at The Rocks and found a pretty awesome Bavarian restaurant/bar called Löwenbräu Keller (Don’t ask me how its pronounced!). It was the first time I had been to a Bavarian restaurant and it was pretty nice and had a laid back atmosphere. After scouring the menu for the cheapest meal (I’m a uni student remember) we finished up and headed back towards Centrepoint Tower, though reminicing of times in Europe I decided to be tourist like and get a few iconic photos, after all I’d never got a picture with the Harbour Bridge or the Opera House (I’d actually never really been up close to the Opera House at all to be honest, except when i’ve passed it on the ferry).

Once we were in the observation deck of Centrepoint Tower we had a panoramic view of the city which was quite nice, it is a pity thought that you can’t exactly see the Harbour Bridge or the Opera House very well as the lower level sky scrapers block your view. After taking a million photos, spying on people in their rich apartments through the telescopes and randomly finding the Canadian flag (yes I do believe we are getting invaded, but I don’t mind lol) we then went to a… well I spose you would call it a ride, called Oz-Trek it was part of the deal with the Centrelink Tower observation deck admission. It wasn’t too bad actually you hop on these seats and a bar pulls down like it does on a rollercoaster and there is a screen infront of you, and on either side of you. The chair moves which makes you feel like you’re actually there whilst you see many parts of Australia.

After that we went to the Apple Store, Ben showed me some stuff which I thought was pretty cool and then loaded Facebook on one of the computers there. An Italian guy had forgotten to sign out and so we wrote a status update for him saying “I forgot to log out of Facebook at the Apple Store”, I then loaded Facebook on the computer next to me and someone had forgotten to sign out of that too! I read a status update and it turns out the two people are friends and I see the status update that we just made on the other account hehe, so I make one for this guy as well saying “I also forgot to log out of Facebook at the Apple Store hehe.

On the way to the train station I finally found a Starbucks cafe… 3 of them infact, right next to each other basically. I decided it was about time I had a caramel macchiato again and I made the right choice starbucks is so much better then Gloria Jeans!
