More Camping

This camping trip has to have been one of the more hilarious trips that I have been on. Boys dressed as girls.....not overly surprising as this isn't the first time I have had the pleasure of experiencing this amongst Paul's group of male friends. Surprise could be one word to describe the reaction we got from the other campers! The water despite how cold it looked was so so warm, and the surf so so fun. Overall it was a good weekend and I think we all needed a break from everyday life. Oh and sorry to all the boys I really did feel bad about putting the photos up, but really how could I not have? They are just too GOOD!

All so beautiful!

Lantern Festival

So I went along to this years lantern festival as I do every year. It may not have been quiet as entertaining as last year but it was still lots of fun. The boys had a great time with all the food, mainly meat on sticks so not so great for myself and Alice!! We had a quick hello from Chrystal, Mike, Rachel, Paul and Casey which is always great. Bright lights never seem to get boring!

House warming

So we have had our house warming. Thanks to everyone who turned up, it was a great night! The following week we had another bbq for our parents and friends. This was to celebrate Pauls new house and his 25th birthday. Awwww quater of a century now hunalug! This night also went well and was lots of fun. Here are a few pics` from the night.

Feb Fun

So we have now moved into the house Paul bought in Glenfield. From what I heard moving was lots of fun and they were surprised by how much stuff I had.... so I have to say that sat I was happy to be a work! During the move we had drinks with everyone that helped out.

My birthday was on the 6th. A few of us went down to long bay beach. Paul and Andy BBQed our food after hours of waiting for the groups of people to leave. Mike went windsurfing while Tim and Paul went for a swim.

The next night we went with Alex and Daniel to the circus. It was fantastic. It would have been worth going for the make-up and costumes alone. Some of the acts were amazing.......we thought about starting our own, while it would possibly be entertaining it may not be quite the same!

Poor Porter lost the jenga game and had to drink whatever was in that glass...eww.

Big Day Out 07

Gutted 4 you if you didn't go to this years big day out. Had I paid 3 times the amount I did there would be no regret! Yes it was ooohhhhh sooooo gooooood! The day started on a good note for myself, Paul and Alice with Minuit. From there we waited for ever for the toilet, we quickly learnt that standing for 15 min in the men's que was the only option as the woman's could have taken us hours. After getting some lunch (yes we avoided anything kebab like after new years) we walked over for The Tutts, really we would have gotten more enjoyment sitting in a puddle of water. Paul wandered off for a couple of hours wile Alice and myself went to see My Chemical Romance, quickly followed by Lily Alan. Lily was fantastic! It took us half of her show for us to push ourselves to the back of the front 1/2 of the boiler room there was that many excited people! We then met up with Paul and Edward for dinner. The Killers were amazing, so much so that I could almost have a lil crush on them now.....aw. Myself and Alice ventured back to the boiler room to see The Streets. They were a million times better than the last time I saw them! To be honest we almost skipped them as we were getting tired, thankfully we didn't as they were so good that they created enough energy for us both to have a little dance. It was dark after The Streets so we found the boys and sat while they danced to Tool. Home to bed.........how the hell did Alice manage to go to work the next day? I must be getting older cause I was sooooo tired from my Big Day Out fun!

Awwwww LILY......isn't she cute!

New Years in Gisborne

This year myself, Paul, Alice and Chrystal took a 6 hour drive down to meet Tony and Alana along with a few others in Gisborne. We complained about the lack of sleep because of the noise in our camp site so Paul took us for a walk over to the larger one. What a mess!!! There were people running about everywhere and not a space free from rubbish. One of the girls staying in that camp site said that they hadn't slept for 2 nights because of the noise so after seeing that our complaints to to thanks. On the 30th it was Chrystals birthday. Mike and his friends arrived that night and we all went out for dinner. After 2 hours and the people at the next table walking out after making a scene because food took to long and then they didn't get enough chips out food arrived. The rest of the time was spent with early morning walks to the dairy with Chrystal and Alice for our coffees, at the beach, sleeping, chatting and lots of drinking in the sunshine.

Come New Years eve the weather decided to talk a turn and it rained all afternoon and night long. Not too good as we were outdoor at Rhythm and Vines and got totally soaked! More bad luck with food as Myself and Paul ate a kebab and was sick with food poisoning and slept for more than 20 hours straight.......we were happy to have rain that day! Overall a great new years if it had of stayed sunny and we didn't get sick i would say the best ever!
