MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Jo's present to meeeeeeeeeh. isn't she the sweetest =) hehe I've already finished 4 books and i'm on my 5th, so this comes in handy. You dont got much to do, when u're sitting on the bus for such a long time...! a sleeping mask & some ear plugs goes a long way! - thanks/cheers Mate!

We met up with Nam, who Monkey set me up with, we went to this TEA bar , whose specialty is their TEA. The shots comes out from a tea kettle and you share it with your friends, pretty neat. (we also went with girls from our apartment)...interesting night...we also went to a strip club with them...his flat mate works there, we came to support =)


the GAFF These are the people that we are/were living with...and the bottom right is the group of girls we went to eat Pancakes on the Rocks with, we met from IEP. We learned to love Beer and Wine because its cheaper. LOL a new drink is Beer with Lemonade or Lime syrup (its what alot of girls drink here...it doesn't taste like the gross beer when u add them, its actually pretty good!




On my birthday, my co-worker Lisa, invited me to go sailing with Captain Harvey. He was a jolly old man...really funny. There was her friend Catherine, and Yang. We invited Regina, whom we met at IEP the following night, she's from New Hampshire. We were actually on a race, our sail boat was named Out of Africa, cuz Harvey says, anywhere, but Africa..(haha) We won 3rd place. Every time he would scream.."You Ready Girls?!..Round About!" we'd have to crawl over to the other side, because to avoid hitting out heads!...we got so tired! It was physically draining...and we did not like those words by the end of the trip! http://www.gfs.org.au/ This is the website...its the greenwich flying squadron, we're the green team. The sail boat that says Out of Afria is the one we were on. The picture on the website is the route we took, we circulated 4 little islands, cockatoo island, goat island, not sure what else, but we saw where Crazy John beat his wife at, and the island where he ended up chained at.


one of the best part of the night...i got to try KANGAROO MEAT! It was SOOO GOOD....it an expensive piece of steak, soft and tender and moist...OooOohh it was DELIOUS.... Jocelle had their salmon. She wouldn't try it, even tho i tried to force her and guilt her into it..lol...aww Josie u MISSED OUT... THEY DON'T HAVE SCHIRACHI here! haha aww i miss my hot sauce...BUT they had this really good chili sauce at the restaurant, the picture doesn't do justice. (btw you have to pay for ketchup (tomatoe sauce) here even at KFC!! i said i want ketchup once, and my coworker laughed at me.)

Starbucks was nice...right by Darlingharbor..lovely view



This is the 2nd best thing (well it was pretty hilarious)..that happened on my birthday. OOHHH JOSIE...so it started raining after dinner, instead of going to the bar like we planned, we decided to rent a movie and buy a bottle of wine. So we walked to our bus station, when it started POURING RAIN!!! it was about 10+ blocks before our station! and we were all getting drench, 3 of us under 1 umbrella...the water dripping from the umbrella was getting josie's back wet, and my showers wet too! Then we crossed the street and i turned to see where Josie was...and i didn't see her behind me...AND THEN...i saw her! Sitting on the ground...SMACKED BUTT in the puddle on the curb. She slipped and BROKE her sandals (2nd time in Sydney now) and fell straight into the water! It was hilarious...we laughed all the way home...and that is how I celebrated my birthday weekend.


Meanwhile, from all the way in Sunny California, my family also remembered my bday...they had a celebration, just without me! oohh yummm food looks good!




Isn't our view nice...I'll post our balcony view later...they're not big on mexican food here, but we do have a Burrito place beneath us! Josie bought a burrito once, smaller than chipotle burrito without all their stuffings, for 12 bucks!
I went for a stroll at 7 in the morning, the sun rise pretty early here! and thanks to day light savings it sets pretty late too!

Take a look at the clip..its kinda quick tho...
