Headed out to Highpoint today to do some shopping. Got a whole bunch of tops, a dress and some gym clothes. We then went to the city and got Dhillon a new lens for his camera (that's his Christmas present from me to him) and then headed out to the Jam Factory to watch The Golden Compass. It was OK, not that great and the cinema was freezing cold. Had dinner at TGIFriday's and came home.
I know Christmas is supposed to be about giving gifts, but hey everyone I know loves getting presents (don't try to deny it). So what did I get? The jewells from Dhillon, money for gym clothes and a beach towel from mum, a moo toy and a moo bank and some ornaments from Robyn, a pen and perfume from my nan and pa and some chocolates from Santa ;)
Last night went to Hard Kandy with Dhillon and Krisa. Was pretty good considering we only had a few drinks. Managed to dance around a bit like I never used to when I was on my ass peaking lol. Saw Paul and Tran and Han, all looking like they had fun. Left about 230 and Dhillon slept over again leaving at midday today. Tomorrow is shoppingggg :D
Being on holidays is kind of surreal. The days seem to blend into one. Today Tonight is currently on TV but to me it feels like the weekend and I am eating so much food lol. I am still trying to exercise though, did some jogging and jumping and pushup type things today as the gym is on shorter hours during the season and I won't get up early just for the gym.
Last night Dhillon and I went out, just cause we could lol. Headed to Brunswick St and had dinner at Idibidi Cafe and then headed around to the Night Cat for a drink. They were holding swing dance lessons, looked pretty cool. I tried a Japanese Slipper (cocktail) which was really nice.
I got bling for Xmas :D Pretty pretty white gold ring with pink and white cubic zirconias .. LOVE it! It's never coming off my finger. Thank's bay :D:D:D
Tuesday evening after work went with Kelly, Jenny and Jo to a Christmas drinks put on by one of the recruitment agencies we use. Was held on the observation deck of the Rialto. We went straight after work so I had nothing to eat and was drunk off 3 glasses of champagne! We stayed for about an hour then Jenny, Kelly and I went to the Docklands to eat. Had a pasta and once the food was in my tummy the drunk feeling went away.
Yesterday was our first day of annual leave. We don't go back to work until the 2nd January and so far I'm loving the break. Dhillon and I headed into the city to do Xmas shopping and find a birthday gift for Winda. Got all my stuff done at Melbourne Central and we also looked at a couple of jewellery shops for the above mentioned bling. In the evening we went to Robyn's house for a BBQ she was having with her boyfriend and some old school friends. Had a quick drink with them but would have been great to be able to stay longer. Next time you cook up Rob let me know, we'd love to come again! After we headed out to Winda & Anita's birthday party, picking up Krisa along the way. Was raining for alot of the night but we all huddled under the shelter and stayed warm by the BBQ and with drinks and jelly shots. Hopefully Winda and Anita had a good night despite the wetness.
Dhillon stayed over the night, it's been ages since we had a sleep over and although I don't miss his snoring, I do miss waking up to him next to me and that feeling when he wraps himself around me and we both drift back off to sleep. Today we went to Knox to watch movies, but got there early so walked around the shops and managed to find my bling :D We watched Nation Treasure which was actually pretty good, then we went for dinner at one of the restaurants in the Knox Ozone part.
Christmas is next week! Time flew by so fast lol.
Thursday night we went to watch Hitman at the cinemas, it was OK, not too fantastic but not too long so it wasn't bad.
Friday Dhillon came over and we watched a DVD in the heat. The big TV makes my room even warmer on those hot days so I was chucking ice on him to cool him down ;)
Saturday we went to the Pavillion for a coffee then came home and watched more DVD's and Sunday was my grand dad's birthday so we went over there for afternoon tea
Friday night went out with the HR girls to catch up with Mel and Erryn. We went to Barney Allen's which is Hewie's restaurant in St Kilda. Dhillon and I have been there before so was my suggestion to go again. Most of us had the burger and chips while Jenny had steak and Mel had a meatball sandwich. We then all had Spanish donuts for dessert. Was great to see both the girls again, we had a great night with lots of laughing! After I got home Dhillon came over to watch Good Luck Chuck on DVD on the big TV.
Yesterday went with him to buy a new washing machine. After his house mate moved out they needed one and still need a vacuum cleaner and microwave. We then grabbed some Subway and headed our separate ways. At 4:30pm we decided we wanted to go to Kryal so Dhillon drove out to Ticketek at Eastland, only to find it had closed already. I suggested he run around to Inacoma and luckily they were still open and had some tickets left. We left about 7:30 and grabbed some food and beer on the way. We were drinking in the car and then got pulled over into a booze bus stop. We were both scared that he would be over cos we had been drinking in the car, and he definitely had a reading cos the cop checked his windscreen to see if there were P plates up, but there obviously wasn't so she let us go. Arrived just in time for Yoji's set which was rocking as usual, but he only played for an hour and the guys after him was really quite boring. We had a few more drink (yep no drugs) and sausages lol, danced around a bit but then it got too cold. I was wearing a singlet, leggings, jeans, a hoody top and my big fluffy jacket all zipped up but was still cold, and poor Dhillon only had a shirt and jacket on so he was dying. Left about 1am but then hung around the cops at the front so he could get a breath test to make sure he was OK to drive before we left. Turns out he blew a 0 reading which means we times all our drinks perfectly. Got home about 3!
Today I had a weigh in/measurement update at gym. I've lost about 1kg, 1% of my body fat and between 1-2cm from each body point, those being bust, waist, hips, thighs, calves and arms.
Yay :D
I can't believe there's only 4 weeks left of this year! As I get older the time just seems to fly by. Before we know it it will be that dreaded end of financial year again -.-
Friday after work Dhillon was going to come over and watch DVD's on our new TV but he had to go out for dinner so I stayed home to watch TV. Saturday he was too hung over to do anything, but he did deliver some Subway. Saturday night he had a bucks night so I went out for late night dumplings, noodles and desert with Krisa. We ate so much we had belly aches lol.
Sunday afternoon we went to watch Beowulf in 3D at IMax in the city. The movie was good to watch because it was 3D, but otherwise not really worth it, the animation was quite amazing though. The cinema was so cold we couldn't wait to get outside to warm up again! After went to his house for a bit then came home.
