Falling out of bed = too much beer!

What a past few days it has been! So much to tell........so here we go....................

With it being our last week in Sydney there has been lots going on , nights out, festivals, drinking, dancing..........general acting like a crazy person! I've found gay porn dvd's in the street and been repeatedly asked by what I can only assume was a pimp if I was stalking him? Only in Kings Cross!

So party week started on Wednesday as it was my last night working at The Sugarmill. Decided to have a few drinks with my work-mate Rebecca and the "One last staffy" turned into many more wines and a trip to Kit and Kaboodle Club for even more! I was a really good night and although I felt a tad delicate the next morning it felt totally worth it!

Me and Rebecca in our lovely red work braces!

Moi and the Sugarmill Waitresses!

Thursday was spent being good to myself and sat in the sunshine down at Rushcutters and finished Sookie Stackhouse no.5 and preparing my body (or should I say liver) for the night out on Friday! Wal abandoned us and went out with his work mates for his own leaving do (and his 2nd night on the 8.5% beer!) so me, Saran, Dunk, Mikey and his friend Katie all went to Club Blink. A metal night that I had finally tracked down. (They are far and few between here in Sydney!) We had such a great night. There was a band on and then some awesome tunes in the main room. 

Looking Good! (No idea who the random arm is!)

Happy!!

Me and Mikey

Saran busting his moves to impress the ladies!

After Club Blink we bobbed into the Supper Club in KK where Saran was getting hit on by some very questionable older ladies and then onto a swift stop at the pizza shop and back to the hostel.
A great night that somehow resulted in a full on water fight in the room???
No idea who or how it started but I was ganged up on and absolutley soaked. Very funny. 

Big Bully!

Good Gay fun eh boys! Ha!!

My last memory is a huge bang, a sharp pain and a lot of laughing. From the small piece of memory I have I recall rolling over and falling out of my bed which is a top bunk, smacking my side on the table and laying laughing on the floor whilst Dunk came to my rescue! Good job I'd had a few shandy's or it would have hurt a whole lot more I think! Idiot.

Ouch!

Saturday was an absolutely blazing hot day and knowing we were up early on Sunday morning for Soundwave we where planning a quiet one. Still involved a few summer ciders naturally. It was probably the last day that all of us from Leeds where gonna be together so really enjoyed it.

Our last pic all together for a wee while!

Maff the Peg Leg!

Treat ourselves at 'The Down Under Bar' for some Kangaroo and Croc Burgers then went back to the hostel to drift to sleep...........and like all good boys and girls this was all before 8pm!

SOUNDWAVE!!!

We where all up bright and early after 12 hours of sleep (even though Maff did wake us up in the middle of the night by constantly swearing when awake and even in his sleep) to head to Olympic Park for Soundwave festival.

Excited much??

Awesome day, awesome bands. Favourites of the day where, Queens of the Stone Age, The Bronx, The Melvins and Primus. I was even all prepared to have Slayer make me love them but they pulled out 5 mins before they where due to come on stage so I'll never know........ Must have been the pressure of knowing I would be in the crowd analysing them!

Big Mustard Fingers!

Ate too much burger

Queens of the Stone Age

Iron Maiden

 It was a bit different to the festivals we are used to in England though, it was clean, organised, no massive queues for the toilets (of which where also clean and had a constant flow or toilet roll??) There where no bins on fire, no crazy drunken louts, and it was all done and dusted by 10pm on the dot and everyone left in an orderly manner??? Madness! I actually prefer UK style but it was still an awesome festival all the same!

So that was the (very long but brilliant) weekend. So I finally feel ready to head up to Queensland for some tranquility.........and maybe some sleep.

Night Night!

Tattoo's, babies, and life in 'The Cross'

So here I am sat in McDonalds at 12.30am wide awake! The guys start work very early in the week so feel mean clicking away in the dorm!

It's the last week in Sydney for me and Wal and we are gonna have a final blow-out at Soundwave festival with Dunc and Saran and then try and squeeze all of our belongings in a suitcase to head up to Queensland to try and get our 2nd year visa's by working on a resort on Mount Tamborine. Not exactly sure what we will be doing there but we do have use of the pool, tennis courts, sauna and spa so will hopefully be pretty sweet!

I'm praying for air-con and a room that doesn't have 5 other people in but we'll see.

My last shift waitressing at The Sugarmill tomorrow night, I've met some really cool people there who I will miss and its the only place ever that I have been told on several occasions that I have a 'sexy' accent?? Eh? Most people hate my accent! Strange.

  However I am excited to be moving on and having a new adventure!

 

It's been awesome living in Kings Cross, it's loud, its bright, it never sleeps, it's full of drunks and prostitutes, strip clubs and brothels..........and I love it. Had some of the best nights in Sydney here following a box of '$10 Goon' at the hostel!

O'Malleys for $6 jugs on Snakebite Sundays (which is actually a diesel Aussie!) and World Bar for $4.50 Vodkas are probably my fave drinking hang-outs, and the 'Dumpling Man' in the train station has the best dumplings (obviously), dim sum and steamed buns.....EVER!

Hustle and bustle of KK by night!

I'm gonna miss a lot about living here, especially our mates from back home and having everything on your doorstep but we gotta move on!
I'll also miss seeing what antics the crazy transsexual gets up to each evening outside! She is hilarious!

Crazy Lady!

Wal's been doing a lot of tattoo designs at the moment and they are looking ace. He's getting really good with his designs. He's been buying loads of Tattoo mags lately so I've been flicking through them and mulling over what I want next and I have come to a decision!

I have decided to pay homage to my favourite Hollywood lady, 'Marilyn Monroe'

I have come up with this little design (myself!) that I'm gonna have on my inner wrist. (Sorry mum but I NEED it! Ha) 

Needs a little tidy up but pretty good I think!

Going to wait until Melbourne to get it done as some of the artists there are amazing and I want it done well!

And finally a big Congratulations to Wal's brother and Nikki on the birth of Darcie Jade today. She looks like a little spud and is soo cute. I can't wait to meet her and also Amanda and Ashley's new baby girl Daisy, and my good friends Tina and Simon's new little boy Logan. Ahh I 'm off now cos I'm getting all mushy. x

 

Day 1 of Blog!

Hello people!

So day 1 of the blog, knowing what I'm like i'll probably give up after a week but we'll see. 

I'm doing this mainly beacuse a fair few people keep asking me to and also my memory is terrible and it would be nice to actually remember what I've been up to whilst on the under-side of the world............

Still in Sydney at the moment and it's sweaty hot today and 6 of us are cooped up in our dorm that smells so sweet and whilst I'm doing this the guys are watching Keith Lemon with beaming smiles on their faces!

We are all pretty pink and crispy after spending yesterday afternoon at Rushcutters Bay Park.

Rushcutters Bay 

It was brilliantly hot and sunny and a few afternoon beers went down nicely considering so many where drunk at Purple Sneakers the night before! I had to bugger off to work in the evening but the fellas carried on and where pretty blasted by the end of it resulting in Wal and Saran being rufused entry into the nightclub so instead they celebrated with a bucket of chicken courtesy of  Colonel Sanders!

Todays been fairly uneventful but I did kick Wal and Saran's ass at the arcade on a car racing game..........well done me!

Considering a dirty curry or pizza to end the weekend of eating crap...........what a plan!

Wal, Dunc and Maff in our sweaty dorm!
