Kim walking towards the end of Luna Park, “is this it?”.  Yes Kim.  That is it. Our Luna Park doesn’t even compare to even ONE of the themed areas at Disneyland.

6th Jan

Pre drinks at Teylans then clubbing @ Pontoon with Americans minus Celine cos shes a loser, meeting Jasmine’s old friend and spilling ice cream in Jasmine’s car.

I like the part where our eyes look awesome.

7th Jan

HARDY PARTY @ Cattai National Park.  SUPER FUN. Wish I stayed :( Went kayaking, fishing (caught some seaweed), made a fire, chilled, talked, kicked a ball around, drove Joel home with Kangaroos on the road, made him open the gate with the combo lock hoping a kangaroo wouldn’t jump into my car.

Lates.

8th Jan

Jamberoo with the Americans + friends + other friends I didn’t know.  AWESOME FUN. Started to rain a bit, but we were gonna get wet anyway.  I controlled the action alright.  Dinner @ Diggers where I had the biggest schnitzel ever. It was the best.

10th Jan

Michael’s (1/2 of the Americans) bday @ Red Spoon, Castle Hill then cake + pavlova @ Teylans. Cake was awesome, it had cake puff (?) basketballs that I didn’t get to try :(

11-12th Jan

Network turns to shit at work. Series of Happy events turns to hell when the phone lines for one of the offices turn inside out, emails aren’t happening and I’m being pressured by some guy who asks for his laptop when I forgot to call him to tell him its not ready (my bad but seriously, had ZERO time to call anyone I needed to).

/end Update.

Been a long time coming, and having met Kim at WYD 3.5 years ago, it really is awesome the friendships lasted this long for people in the states. It really sucks though that I never got to hang out with them during the day because of work, but I hope they have fun. To Kim and Mike: Thanks for coming, yo! :D See you guys in the states. :)
