The final day of the year. Usually for me this means I have to prepare for my annual kick ass new years eve party, it's tradition! However seeing as that's clearly impossible my darling sister and her boyfriend are hosting the part at their place instead. I mean obviously it won't be as good as mine but I give them credit for trying ;) So being in Sydney on nye can only mean one thing.. Fireworks! Every year at home on TV Sydney fireworks pop up and gets voted the best display of the year, well this year it's my turn to see them! We've bought tickets to a party at Luna Park which is a small theme park right by the Harbour bridge with a perfect view, and Pendulum happen to be playing after the ... read more

Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Sydney » Bondi Beach December 25th 2009

I'mmmm dreaming of a whiteeeeeeeeee christmasssssssssssss! Actually no the hell I'm not, I'm dreaming of a damn good christmas at the beach today. Apparently it's been none stop snow back home, or so everyones goddamn facebook statuses keep repeatedly saying! However I'm not jealous in the slightest because I'mmmmm innnnnnn Australia at christmasssssss! WAHEY, however not so wahey when I wake up to discover it's the worst bastard weather EVER. I might as well be at home it's that cloudy. How dare Manchester have better weather than us for Christmas! It's just my luck that on the one day we needed sunshine it decides to go and take a stinking great shit on me. However it didn't put too much of a downer on us as we were set ready to go to Bondi. Had my ... read more

Soooo... it's Saturday and today was meant to be my first official day of starting the door to door job. I'm not doing it. Just watching the others do it sucked the life out of me so there's no way I can handle it. Itay rings me and I basically just tell him straight I'm not doing it, he tried to convince me otherwise but I wasn't having any of it. I'd rather be skint than slave away every day for NOTHING. I don't care if sometimes it makes good money, it's not worth it to me. I'd rather just jobhunt my ass off again and find a steady hourly rate job. Call me a jewish princess but whatever, I just can't do it. So Marc and Zoebird go off to work and I hang out ... read more

ughhhhhh training day.. yay. Time to shadow some Israelis all day and watch them repeatedly knocking on people's doors only for the door to be slammed in their face! I was to be picked up from central station at 2. It was super hot today so I wore my denim skirt and a strap top, I don't care if it was over dressed there is no way I can wear jeans or leggings in this weather! I got to central station and my team leader Itay rings me saying he'll be there in 15 minutes, so I go in the internet cafe for a bit. Marc rings me and says he is stood with Zoebird across the road also waiting to be picked up by their team leaders, so I go over and join them. Eventually ... read more

So we all had a relatively good lie in.. Zoe and Marc had their training day with the door to door Israelis today, and I had my interview for Cotton On! Luckily it wasn't until 3pm so I had plenty of time to prepare. So I dressed up super nicely. I wore my trendy goat dress from Top Shop and I made an effort putting my extensions in. Feeling relatively confident I made my way to the interview. It was at harbourside shopping centre which was gorgeous and a really nice walk, but of course I arrived too early. Had a quick 20 minute session on facebook in an internet cafe and then arrived at Cotton On. First thing I noticed was the collection of teens stood outside also dressed nicely and a few holding portfolio ... read more

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEEEE! Holy cow. It's my birthday.. and I'm in AUSTRALIA! shoot me now and call me Oscar. Today was the fastest I have ever woken up. Partly because I woke up and auto thought 'YAY IT'S MY BIRTHDAY' and also because my phone rang.. it's mummy dear! Bless her. She wanted to ring before she went to bed (time difference). She wasn't able to send the present/card in time though :( However I already have 4 cards.. from zoe, marc, one from my auntie which arrived yesterday and another from Adele which she had placed in the travelbook she made for me. YAY! They are displayed next to my bed.. unfortunately it's also a reminder that I am now 23 and rapidly getting OLD. I mean it's kind of depressing how near to ... read more

Got woken up again.. but not to Hannah Montana this time, but by Lion King - Circle of Life! Someone was bastard ringing me and it was a witheld number.. still half asleep I answered. However I perked up the minute I found out it was a response to a job I applied for, yay!! It's face2face charity fundraising but it's better than nothing and at least you get hourly pay plus commission. You know those annoying people that stop you in the middle of the street when you're trying to go to the bank or somewhere? Yeah that's what I'd be doing if I got this job.. So she gave me a mini interview over the phone and because I'm fabulous I qualified for a face interview.. which was this afternoon at 2pm! DAMN I ... read more

Darling, I appreciate the comment you left (which didn't get accepted btw because you're a tool).. but let me just tell you sweetpea, that 1) don't read if you don't want to and 2) obviously what I'm doing right now is as if I'm living back home because that's what I'm doing right now.. LIVING in sydney. If I was travelling around Australia at the moment (which I plan to do in March) OBVIOUSLY there would be a lot more said on my blogs other than 'I got wasted last night' but seeing as I'm not, all I can do is write about what I'm doing whilst living here, you thick bitch.. and seeing as I haven't got the money to do much other than survive, I can't really visit other places, y'dig? So get the ... read more

Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Sydneys elite! I realise I haven written about a few previous days, mainly because nothing interesting enough happened in them to write about and also partly because it seems theres the odd adolescent nosybird on here stalking my blog who likes to report petty details back to others. Not that its any of their business to do so.. because pardon us 22 YEAR OLDS out here living our travelling life the way we SHOULD be and taking advantage of the freedom we actually have out here. Silly us! So anyway I apologise to the few people that I think actually read these daily updates! But from now on I will only be telling you about stuff that is actually interesting to read, because I doubt you ... read more
