i came back from the busy city of melbourne on the 12th. melbourne was... hectic compared to the city of churches. expected. haha.
soo what did i do?
-shop
-eat
-walk
-sleep
it was a good trip!
went with my dear friend conie, and i stayed at my sis's hse with her 2 hsemates carlyn and shou farn. i think thats how you spell his name but im amazed i can finally remember his name! had a bit of problem with that. hehe. i also got to meet dom and martina and yeah.. in general it was good.
so. we went to
st kilda beach and had fish n chips for lunch, but saw loads of sweet stuff i couldnt eat after the massive lunch. got some gelati tho :P then went to see
melbourne uni where my sis and marty are studying at and went shopping at several places, well everywhere in general, had
krispy kreme donut, had dim sum (with dom and his aunt), had dinner at the
Crown casino, walked along the
Yarra river, walked around the massive
victoria market (central market is so small compared to there... but i still like my market :P), ate the supposedly famous hotdog thing which i forgot the name of o.O bought lots of sweet stuff... saw their
state library which im *jealous* of cuz the state lib here is pretty small and crappy compared to theirs, took lots of trams, ate at
lygon street and managed to get a cider with dom and marty. i ran out of time pretty quickly. so much more FOOD i wanted to try but never got to. i was always full. and i dont even remember what i ate for some of my meals...
since we arrived back in adelaide, ive been to central market twice. i keep running out of food. ive been eating so much. the melb trip has really expanded my tummy... =S
as a result im TRYING to exercise a bit more but is becoming difficult to do so as the sun sets at 6 and well, conie and i are no longer in the frisbee league because we cant make the weds night games. BUT we bought a frisbee today and we're determined to play! so. tomorrow morning at 9:30am we're going out. to play frisbee. and maybe do some running :) haha. we're also going to continue trainig with the team on sundays cuz we can make it then. and no reason not to go. although we'd be training for nothing which sucks. but whatever. its the exercise that counts.
i feel fat.
darn.
oh wait i forgot to mention my birthday!
we had a party here at home before i went to melb. we all had party hats and crowns and mine was a white tiara with fluffy stuff :) we had lots of balloons around the house, nice pretty decorations, homecooked food including pasta, fried rice, and noodles, nice cake which my face sort of destroyed slightly when it got stuffed into it... >.< dear friends decide to scare the hell out of me by popping as many party poppers at the same time... =S we got bored at one point and tried to play some cards but that didnt work. it somehow turned into a night of random dancing, yoga, and table drumming... ;P haha. and .. um yeah. that was the house party :) it was fun. oh, and we were all sober. really. there was only coca cola and water.
then when i was in melb the buffet dinner at Crown was my bday dinner. and i got a cake made up of 2 pieces of cheesecake and lots of ice cream from the buffet and by the end of the night it was an untouched plate of melted ice cream. haha. i also got a whole lot of smses, calls, facebook messages, and birthday greetings in general. you guys are awesome. this year's birthday has been one of the best ever ever ever!
:)
so thanks people!
lots of love,
laurane
