long time coming

so again i have to do one massive long post but have no idea how this will work out because im sitting at the library and only have an hour. An hour to catch up on the last few weeks i think thats close to impossible for me. Especially when i have moments when i dont even know where to begin.
I shall first explain to you why im using the internet the old school way at the library. Its a simple answer really...... Im going to Hawaii soon & i cant afford to pay my bill. Thinking i shall sort that all out after im back. Saying that its so frustrating because im so lazy on my days off i can never be bothered to come to the library.
Anyways enough about that little problem.
Next looking back on the last week or two i cant remember where to start.
Some girls i met through my friend catherine, one of them was leaving melbourne to go back home after her long months of travels. The other two are still living in melbourne for awhile which im happy about because they are so lovely and we all get along so well. The on the weekend she is stopping by Fiji then back home in america. I felt bad how i couldnt see her to say good bye however she did join me at my friends gig in Fitzroy last week.
Was a good night considering i had no idea how it was going to work out because i had my friends going away drinks earlier in the city. Mind you this is all straight after work then had to leave in the middle and go to the gig which i was sure i was going to miss because im always so late. Was so happy i was late however made it just on time.
Night was very random & so much fun.

The going away drinks i felt terrible for leaving because Jeanette who was my old area mananger at my previous job, she use to work in the same center as me. So every lunch break i had i spent it with her. Its also who im going away with. So i felt like i shouldve been there till the end. Was alot of fun. Started off going back to her shop having a wine or two in her back room then we all made our way to the bar which was 5 min away from work. Then we all met everyone there. I knew most of the people that use to work with her because she basically re hired everyone from our previous job.  So was so much fun to catch up with everyone again and be in the same room and enjoy eachothers company.

Back tracking the week before i joined the girls Annabelle, Jordan & her friend Chani at the night markets in the city. Chani has just moved from overseas to start uni here and live here for awhile. She found a place literally 5 minutes away from me. Thought that was handy and something to look forward to for when i come back from my little holiday we can go out some more.
That night it was dreadfull weather was ok then suddenly the rain started pouring down. Despite the weather was still such a fun night. At the markets like i would've describe before is full of people, live music yummy food and sweet cocktails. Cheap cocktails to!!! When im there i usually have the sweet yummy Sangaria's. This time all of us there bought a bottle each however i acted little bit ditzy and thought i bought a champaign when instead i bought a grape fruit flavoured drink instead of an acholic one. whoopsy daisy!! im using the exuse i was in a rush and all the dark bottles look the same. Was very nice and easy to drink :)  My other friend Amanda came down and joined us and she go onto the Grape fruit pretty fast. So wasnt all a waste.After we finished all our drinks & put the bottles down, all us girls made our way over to the bar which was right across the road. Since we hadnt had any of our favourite drink of sangeria's we all chipped in and bought two jugs of it. By that stage i was getting bit tired but had to make sure i was awake and had energy because Amanda bought me a ticket to see one of her favourite bands Caribou. She is to nice to get me a ticket.  I swear all my friends are to good to me!!!!

Anyways had to leave the girls & amanda i myself made our way down to the venue where they were playing. I was shocked how many people were there even though i knew it was a sold out event. Started at midnight on a thursday night. Maybe thats why i was litte suprised to see how many people stayed out during the week.
It was a good night the band was amazing however i felt bad because i went through that tired stage when i was about to fall asleep.
Thankfully i had the next two days off so i stayed at Amanda's house and rested the next day.

Finally caught up with my One of my best friends Rachel. I have no idea why but we always have a gap when we see eachother. i think its just because both of us are always so busy. I luv how it goes for so long and we are always the same. 
She came around to mine after work and we made our way to st kilda to the markets. We thought we should grab some dinner while we were there and just hang out catch up and go for a little stroll. Was alot of fun. She makes me laugh and just seeing her makes me so happy. We bought little matching key rings so cute.

Last weekend Jeanette came over to mine and we walked down my local area st kilda and had a drink just because it was a lovely day. Littl did we both know that it was going to be one long fun day of drinking. cocktail after cocktail then the wines following the yummy Tapas. Then onto the Shots and Spirits. I have been to most of the places we went to that evening but there were a few i hadnt so it was nice to try out the new ones.
Im trying to remember all the ones we went to. went to about 7-8 bars during the period of the day and went back to several in the time.

That weekend i went out for a coffe with friend who i had met though my friend Amanda. Was little bit wierd considering i had only met him once and i dont do coffee. Was sweet considering he went to the extra effort to ask if it was ok to ask me out.
Later that night i was so happy to go home and sit on the couch and watch tv. Not long after i did my usual thing and passed out. All my friends know me as the one who falls asleep on the couch. Its pretty bad give me any couch and ill just fall asleep.

On my last day off from work i caught up with Nazneen. She use to be our casual at work.Now she is leaving us & going back to live at home in Malayasia. She Found herself a better job that would help her follow on in her caree. Im so so happy for her but yet so so sad to say good bye. Over the time i have know her all of us girls got close at work and now its so sad for all of us to say our goodbyes.
On my day off though i went into the city to meet her for brunch. Was a lovely morning we sat and ate down degrave street which has all the cute little trendy cafes. We did what girls do best. Talked & chatted, went for a stroll looked at the beautifull shops admired what we wish we had one day. Took some pretty photos for her to have memories for when she goes back home.



Yesterday Nazneen came by our work once we had finished and Trang who i was working with thought we shall go have dinner all together.So we made our way down to the crown casino and just had grabbed some easy food at the food court & just chatted away. Took some more silly photos which made all of us laugh. so Sad to see her go. will miss her deeply!
