It was an eventful weekend. On the 15th of March I went with the girls (Jes, Cindy, Janice, and Sam) to Star City Casino, which is the only casino in New South Wales. We dressed up, gambled a bit, and paid a little too much for our cocktails, but hey, isn't that what gambling and casinos are all about? For St. Patrick's Day I went out with Jes and Virginia on a little pub crawl. We started with dinner and a pint at Scruffy Murphy's, then we went downstairs and listened to some crazy Irish karaoke with a transvestite MC. Our [View Full Entry]

I went to the Blue Mountains for a day trip. It was a sort of sampler trip, I saw a lot in a really short amount of time. We boarded a nice tour coach at 8am and proceeded to visit Sydney Olympic Park, Featherdale Wildlife Park, Wentworth Falls, Leura, The Three Sisters and Katoomba Scenic Railway. [View Full Entry]

The class reminds me [View Full Entry]

Today started as a slow day in. I woke up around 9:30 am and just bummed around with my flatmate Jes while talking to family and friends from home online. Instead of seizing the day I was busy being concerned with what was going on with people at home. Finally decided to go out and Jes and I met up with Cindy and Janice to go to the Sydney Harbour and The Rocks. Upon arrival at the harbour Jes and I were taken by the jet boats! I went on a jet boat almost 5 years ago with my Dad in [View Full Entry]
