LONG WEEKEND

This weekend has been an amazing weekend too bad all good things have to come to an end!

Seeing as the parentals had left for new zealand over this short period, i definately had to take full advantage of the freedom, nothing crazy happened but i made the most out of my time...

THURSDAY:

it was a quiet day had to go into uni for group work then headed out to city for some retail therapy with jen and yza, i was being good and held back on purchasing anything although unfortunately i did eye a few items that i really liked and ended up buying them the next few days after! gay!

FRIDAY:

today was another bludgey day, all i had on my mind were my bag and dresses haha so i had to go back out to the city to get them ... bummed around china town for a bit and headed back home, there were plans to go to errmmm mounties haha but everyone cancelled so i thought i'd have a quiet night in...but of course that didn't happen because jen decided to drag me out to have max brenner!!! omg max brenner is so good but soooo bad for you! i had the waffle and i thought if i have to stuff myself w/ desserts i may as well drag someone with me hehe so i went and picked up annette so she could enjoy it as well! ha!

it was a really nice night, i had a great time at max brenner with jen and her friend sarah ermm i'm pretty sure sarah thinks annette and i are such a weirdos and quite embarassing! haha but it was a really good night a lot of laughing and chatting great way to end a lazy fri night!

SATURDAY:

the longest day of my life...

it started out with me and angela organising a 7am trek out to bondi beach to conquer the bondi beach to bronte walk! haha and of course things don't start off too well ... especially when i couldnt get up at 7am and didnt even hear angela ring the door bell 3 times apparently! oops my bad! but finally i woke up to the home phone and it was angela of course telling me to open the door!

so after the big morning rush we were finally at bondi all ready to start the walk ... it was such a great walk much shorter than we had expected it only took 90 mins all up to do the bondi to bronte walk and back! we were so proud of ourselves, definately will do it again because it was such a great feeling, the view the breeze the fresh air! BUT next time i will dress more appropriately haha angela could not stop laughing at me coz i looked like a tourist or some chick that had gone clubbing all night and decided to do the walk straight after! i was not over dressed for the occasion, just in my summer dress with havi's! i figured we're just going for a lovely stroll along the beach so a summer dress is fine BUT everyone else on that track were totally health fanatics in their sneakers and shorts with their ipods ahah and i was there in my dress with my digicam! it was all good though seeing as i was all touristy looking we decided to make the most of it and acted like tourists taking photos along the way and we have our new crazy pose where we just point at anything random and act like its the best thing in the world! LOL we're such lame-o's oh wells no fun in being normal!



First shot taken at the start of our bondi to bronte walk

Me in my tourist/clubbing gear haha at "the point"

This beach was so cool, it was v. small, v. secluded! I'm definately gonna come back to this beach it looked like a man made beach so nice!

Shot of the secluded and empty beach oh and angela hehe

Waves seemed a bit rough that day it was extremely windy

We made it!

Just a map showing the track we had walked...

Ange - need i say more? =)

Me and the Bronte sign ... not really interesting haha

Us looking rather happy that we made it without collapsing onto the ground!

Our signature POINT to random things that we think are the best thing ever begins...

My best jap tourist pose!

Ange's best forrest gump pose...

Chillin' with my home girl...ha!

we got back to bondi beach before 10am so breakfast at doxa ... that cafe is so mad the best dining seatings ever it was so bummy i loved it will definately go back there just to lounge on their mad ass seatings oh and the cute french/italian waiter was a bonus! ha! best smile ever plus he had an accent and was so adorable when he talked, ange and i are totally in love with him!


Ange lounging at Doxa in those really mad ass booths

A better shot of how cool the lounge is at Doxa .. i wanted to bum there all day man!


spent some more time bumming around bondi, it was time to head home and rest up for the night...annette the gay couldnt make it coz of some fam party so ange and i headed out to the city and thought we'd check out bungalow 8. I really liked that place the atmostphere and crowd was great, a nice place to just hang out and have a few drinks and a chat i definately will go back there oh and it helps that they serve sausage sizzles ahah we were totally craving! We decided to bug annette to try and get her to come out seeing as her party had finished so early, we had nothing better to do so we drove back to pick nette up and then back out to the city and headed to cruise bar at the rocks to meet up with jen and her friends ... the music suuuucked there but it was a nice place with great views of the opera house ... didn't spend too much time there and was still too early to head home so we decided to head out to booty bar for a dosage of rnb music and work out feets to the music!

Ange and our obsessed pointing at things that we think are whoop ass cool!

The sausage sizzle that lured us into Bungalow 8!
Random shot of nette fixing her hair...
Me & Nette smiling for the cameras...
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek Ange look out!
Attempt #1 for a 3way shot with our fantastic pointing obsession >>> FAILED I GOT CUT OUT!
Attempt #2 at our 3 way shot yet i failed again! so i gave up!
Me pointing at jen the beyotch! Nah i love ya but you're still a beyotch =)
The pointing will never end it's only the beginning of the pointing obsession! yessss!
Annette happily dancing by herself!
Ange & Nette such posers!
The girls just couldn't stop with the posing!
Me pointing at the opera house...
No idea who took this pic but random...
Awww cute pic of jen her bf and her friends walking...
I wish this pic turned out! That's ange pointing at the bus stop sign hehe

we thought it would be free entry seeing as it was around 2am or so but it wasn't and we were soo reluctant to pay $20 when we weren't planning on staying for long BUT the music got the better of us so we forked out the $20 fee ... i haven't been there in a long time and the crowd was v.different not a great crowd at all and it wasn't even packed! Luckily the music made up for the crappyness ... 3am and it was time to head home seeing as nette had a 6 am start at work eeeeekkk i should have just dropped her off at work! haha

all in all it was a really great day and night ... the night was even better esp. for the entire day finding street parking was such a breeeze, no circling the block i found parking near every venue i had went to that day and night ... but most embarassing was when i tried to side park on george st outside world square that night!!! i'm a bit of a hit and miss when it comes to side parking! so of course trust me to totally take like 20 goes to get into the spot, it's fine but pressures on when you have stupid asian dudes turning back to look at me try and park and laugh! side parking's such bitch! =(

SUNDAY:

recovery day ... 12 hours of sleep did the trick!

movie marathon that night with angela and jen at blacktown ... haha there were some photo opps. until i was asked by the hoyts staff to put my camera away! there was a lot of fashion critiquing, i mean its fuckin freezing cold who wears furry bear boots with short shorts! How does that work?! Oh and private joke between the 3 of us about bubble girl and the "i'm only going to say this once" hoyts employee of the year chick! Quite an interesting night...

Spot THE EXTRA


Ange & Jen pointing at the cinema signs


Me pointing at the saturday night fever wall...

Jen pointing at the toilet signs...

I just liked how it looked...

Jen striking a pose down the cinema hallway...


so the movies...

"devil wears prada" - i liked it ... the clothes were to die for! the characters were exactly how i imagined them to be in the book EXCEPT the role of the supposedly charming, sexy christian thompson! Simon Baker so did not fit that profile with his really weird eyebrows! No sex appeal at all compared to the character in the novel! movie was good, i haven't finished the book yet so it's hard to compare but the movie didn't disappoint.

verdict: 6/10

"john tucker must die" - when i informed angela that this was the second movie we were going to watch she thought i was talking about some jap dude ... you're prolly thinking errr wat the??? what angela heard was "john takamasuda" the weirdo! anyways, i really liked this movie i didn't think i would but i really did, alot of laugh out loud moments, it was good! all the characters were great they fit the roles perfectly but man why did they have to cast ASHANTI in it surely they could have found someone better looking ... we could not stop laughing at her she's such a man! i could not stop laughing at the scene where she's taking estrogen pills! LOL that was when i realised why they had cast her in it, so they could use that story line with the estrogen pills coz she needs it to look more feminine ... hehe im so slack oh wells ... i'd see this again it was a fun light hearted movie

verdict: 7.5/10

"my super ex-girlfriend" - disappointing ... the movie wasn't the worst movie ever but i felt that the characters lacked chemistry and it wasn't believable at all

verdict 2.5/10

MONDAY:

came back home at 5am in the morning after the marathon ... just bludging ... it's so hot today such great beach weather yet im too buggered to do anything! why couldn't it have been like this the previous few days! the weather really likes to mess with us!

its sadly the end of the long weekend! the folks come back this avo =(

overall it was a great w/e ...

Now, I'm only gonna say this once! *Flashes torch in your eyes!*

JULIE! WE HAD MAD FUN! This had to be one of my most tiring weekends in a long time but it was all worth it! The pointing tourist poses own! LOL.

Things to remember:

* Bondi to Bronte wasn't even that far.

* The historical drainpipe we wish we took a photo of.

* The hottie frenchy at Doxa's.

* The comfy Doxa lounge.

* Sausage sizzle at Bungalow 8

* Nerdy girl on a power trip.

* I want to take home the entire
Devil Wears' Prada Costume department

* Ashanti's close-ups. HAHHA

* Fat teacher having a heart attack in 'John Takamasda's' lol.

* Bubbles in which we wished we could've seen sit down so she can attempt getting herself up in those skinny jeans.

* There should never EVER be a 'My Super Ex-Girlfriend Sequel' - EVER! If they could take back the first one they should! haha.

We should plan more weekends, but not too soon, I still need to recover, I'm getting a cold from all the cold exposures between 4 and 6am.

* Oh and I forgot, your $250 addition to your CC of which I'm kind enough to remind you of!
