A happy and merry christmas to everyone! Hope your day has been enjoyable! Mine has been soo far, as uneventful as my christmas day has been. Gosh, there is sooo much to tell.. not that it'll be of interest to everyone.. but here goes..

Monday
It was off to work as usual, i actually finished everything by aound 12.45pm, so i went to have lunch with Nel and Mamo. We had lunch at Blend cafe on George st. It was supposed to be between me and Nel, but for some reason..it ended up being really close to me. To even it out though, i walked all the way past Pitt st mall in the opposite direction. Nel even got there before me! Oh yeh, did i mention that i work in the building that was in THE MATRIX? I didnt know it til Nel told me. I just had to blog that!! :P

Ah wellz, lunch was expensive! They charged me $3 for juice that was straight out of the bottle. I mean, i could have brought that juice from Woollies for less than what they charged me! Pftt...the pasta wasnt that great either...but it was filling at least. I was quite full..

After lunch, Mamo and I dropped off Nel and had a quick look around the shops..before deciding we'd rather just head to Parramatta and hopefully find something there. Parramatta was soooooo packed. It really mad the christmas atmosphere though. At Parra, we bumped into Ryan. So we pretty much went shopping together.. my purpose was to go get Will's mum a present..only i couldnt decide on anything and didnt end up buying anything..! Boo.. Mamo managed to get his Kris Kingle's present though! Yay!

We went home at around 7.30pm outta pure exhaustion. My legs were killing me from work, and Mamo's was just tired from walking around all day..so we called it a day. For some reason, i was sooooo tired. I showered and went straight to sleep as soon as i got home, which was around 11.30pm. Working really does take its toll..i feel like an old woman already.. i wish i had some spontanity in my life..! My life is soo planned now...i gotta make time for everything.. which in a way can be a good thing...i just feel like i'm missing out on my holidays! =(

Tuesday
Cos i slept soo early..i forgot to set my alarm on! I was late for work by an hr. My dad had to drive me to the station too so i could make the 8o'clock train. Thank goodness not many ppl were in...otherwise i'd be in big trouble for coming in late. I finished everything on time though..despite the late start. After work, Will met up with me and we had a quick lunch before heading on a train to Warwick farm. Linda organised a bbq at Chippy's, and Joey was going to pick us up from Warwick farm station. I slept allllll the way on the train ride on Will's arm. Poor guy, i havent had much time with him lately..i sleep early..and every moment i get..i'm sleeping.. it sucks! He was cool with it though!

The bbq was good.. there was heaps of food left over..and it was alot warmer in the arvo. We all thought it was going to rain..it all turned out good though. The guys got to play sports as usual..and i had a cosy chat with Judy, Thao and Tessa. It was nice catching up with the girls again...we made plans for New Years Eve. Theres going to be a big party as Tessa's Uncles house..woohoo!

After the eating, we all decided to wanted to go to Putt Putt golf in Bankstown. We rang them, but got the answering machine..so we were sure if it was opened! Andrew let me drive his car there... i drove the long way around to putt putt though..oops! His car feels alot different from mine. It was an old cressida...but the acceleration is alot quicker than mine..but i got used to it.

The only real dilemma was when, we found out putt putt was closed and decided to go bowling. Halfway there, Hien found out that it was closed.. but i was already in the lane to ffld. In the end, we decided to go see a movie at Wetherill Park, and the road we took ended up being faster anyways..cos we got there before the others. Thing was, i did a bit of a squeal of the tires and almost had a near accident!! It was cos Linda suddenly told me i had to take a left turn.. that scared the crap outta me. Even though there was noone on the road, and it wasnt a tooo bad of a turn..it was the initial shock that got to me. I dont think i liked the idea that i could have had an accident with my friends in the car...if it was just me i'd be alrite. Plus it was someone elses car too...! Argh... i've definately learnt my lesson though. Next time someone tells me to turn and i'm not ready, i'm not gonna do it. I'm either going to slow down and stop...or just continue as i am until i can go back.

Will got to drive Hiens car as well...so..noone who owned cars was driving their own cars. Halynh was driving Kens car too! lol. I dont think Will was too happy that i almost had an accident. I guess he feels partly responsible if anything should happen...!

Anyhows, we watched Blue Crush. It wasnt that great...the girl was hot though. Her body and all that...wow! I want that! I wouldnt recommend the movie to anyone though. Wait til it comes on video or something...or unless ur a big surfing fan! I went to Wills house after the movie, Thao dropped us off..and i just had dinner there and watched The Amazing Race til around 12.30am before Will drove me home. That'll be the last time i see him before the new year i think.....
He's leaving for new zealand 2moro.....boo.....so i cant watched LOTR 2 2moro..cos he wants to watch it with me. Doh Doh and double doh!

and soo...the countdown begins..only 1 DAY til LORD OF THE RINGS: TWO TOWERS is released!

Today
Theresa slept over out place last nite to spend Christmas with us..her mum is in QLD and left her by herself. I guess she must be feeling pretty lonely at this time of the year. She's still here now, An's been keeping her company. I woke up to 4 fabulous christmas messages. Firstly thanks to Mel who dropped by Will's house and left me with a beautiful christmas card. She put some ribbon on the card and it was just soooo pretty! My first christmas card for the season! I didnt even bother writing christmas cards this year..so it was really sweet of her..she even dropped it off too. Thanks heaps Mel! That was soooooo sweet of ya!

Secondly would be a thank you to Mamo, who rang me to say that he got me a little present for chrissy! That was soo unexpected! I felt sooo special! I wasnt expecting gifts from anyone.. but surprisingly..i most have done something right..cos my parents decided to get me something this year as well. They're getting me the puma shoes i wanted.. i'm soo happy. My sister and i got my mum perfume for chrissy and my dad some shoes! They havent opened it yet..so i hope they like it!

Anyways, unfortunately i wasnt home..so Mamo said he'd drop by later today and return my dvd's as well. Mamo can be soo caring about everyone else.. even though he was having a crap christmas eve and all.. he was thinking about giving me a chrissy present! I dont know what i did to deserve such loving friends and family..but i guess its at times like this that i realise how lucky i really am.

Big thanks to Andy, Linda, Steven, Amelia, Anda, Debbie and Leon for sms-ing me their christmas cheer. Also a merry christmas to everyone else out there i havent had a chance to talk to yet. Especially Mindy, cos shes sooo far away and i cant even ring to say Merry Christmas!

Hope your all having a fab day! Happy new Year as well..if i dont see u sooner! Byez...
