From Very Hot!..to a very wet Melbourne

Our unique city of Melbourne is well known for its crazy weather mood swings!

Last Friday we had 28 degrees and Sunshine and then the day after on Saturday it was down to 17 degrees and stormy rain and floods!

On Friday we had our friends Caetlyn 20th Birthday at..hmm guess where we went again??? The Perseverance! haha.

Since we're planning on going overseas next year we have to think of many ways on how to cut down on spendings.

1.Buy 'travellers' if you're heading out where drinks can get pricey.

:p

With the birthday girl in the car on our way there.

yup..another shot in the toilets haha.

The group for the night, everyone enjoying themselves :)

you can't tell but i had 2seconds to run from the bar and back to them thanks to my timer to take the picture hehe.

definitely a bunch of good looking peeps right there :P

Love these last two pictures the most, wish i could have stolen the photographers cameras look at how cool they look!

After Caetlyns Birthday we got home in time to have enough sleep before we had to get ready for Derby Day 

(One of the Melbournian Spring Racing Days where the traditional dress code is Black & White)

Last year when Connie and myself went for the first time it was amazing weather but it got too hot at one stage. This year it was the extreme opposite!It was bucketing down till the streets flooded, it was a very amazing day haha.

Ready to go to the Races :]

Connie having a little lunch break under our mofo umbrella haha.

One of the many races of the day.

Squeezing together under the umbrella but someone just kept getting wet, especially when the wind joined the rain...that was just great...

We had to go inside away from the horrible weather, but it wasn't that much better there.

It was all wet,slippery and crowded because everyone else was hiding from the rain there too.

So we finally left about 20minutes before the main race haha,oh well...we didn't get to place bets anyway.

Poor Caetlyn walking under the rain from the Flemington Race Course....let's hope next year will be better compared to the last two years.

Here we are waiting for our lift under our big umbrella totally soaked!

 ...But that didn't stop us from having our own fun.

When we got home we laid on the couch and watched TV firstly because we were wrecked!

Then sometime later Connie and me fell asleep while leaving Caetlyn alone to watch a movie lol. All that running around in the rain in heels really got to us, once we woke up we played some games on the Wii which was pretty funny!

We had some dinner and called it a night.We really ended up having way more fun when we got home then at the races. I mean it was a great experience to get all dressed up and go to such a old traditional event, but when you can't do much because everything is flooded...then that ain't fun lol.

That's all for today from me :)

#TwitterParty ...packed weekend continued.

Saturday Night:
Hello again,
tonight i'm on a roll with finally paying more attention to our lovely blog.
I set this random goal which is to not use Twitter & Facebook for 7days, since I use Twitter all the time and it's day one...it's been hard lol. But that's not what this post will be about.

It's about taking little risks and trying new things out because let's face it, life is just too short.
So for a few weeks it was talked about @MissReneeLJ 's birthday and how all these others from twitter would go too. To be honest I wasn't too sure at the start, yes I speak to them every day but I didn't know who they really were lol.
Last minute Connie and Me thought...what the heck let's just go, we got nothing to loose they seem awesome and it would be great to meet who we 'Tweet' to daily.

Getting her ticket, last thing you want is a fine...yuck.

On the train to Transport bar, gotta love blurry pics :)

@Kat_La @ConnieCupcakes @STU2075 @Neila4

well now they're just not Twitter names to us anymore, they're awesome people we got to know and party with. Straightaway it just felt normal for some reason, a friend of ours thought we were crazy to meet "strangers"...and probably still thinks that haha.

It was really hard to find them I think i asked about 6 randoms if their name was 'Renee' before i bumped into Kat hehe.

Having definitely a good time.

You need to know that Stu on the right came aaaall the way to Melbourne from Tasmania!

Now that's commitment hey!

I think that there was a stuffed sheep toy in Renee's top that stu either pulled out or put down there haha.

Sorry, I can't remember but it was funny for shizzle!

Renee & Connie dancing it out on the dance floor.

Get Smart and the birthday girl :D

@Stu2075 @stormbikes @MissReneeLJ @Kat_La @shibz @getsmart86 @shibz2311

you have twitter?then follow them..NOW!

they're as awesome as we are haha.really!

....surprise surprise!!!Where did our night end again??

At the Crown Casino haha....even when we don't plan it, it's like we have to!

Thinking back in the past years now since we've turned 18, the bestest nights ended up at Crown.

I'm glad we decided to meet up with these pretty awesome guys, and that we just did what we thought was right. can you imagine what would have happened if we wouldn't have gone?we wouldn't have had that much fun :p

Sunday Morning:

we woke up at..uhh...once we slept the tiredness off, got ready and I made us some pancakes for Breakkie yums!

I did burn the first few....but they ended up being not too bad towards the end haha.

And while I was being too busy making sure they weren't burning, Connie was looking up a few europe tours which we will be going on next year :D

We weren't meant to go until 2012, but why wait so long we have now worked so hard to save enough $$$$. It's time that we take some time and enjoy ourselves properly and do what we always planned and spoke about since back in the High school years.

Spreading some Nutella on that pancake!

It was a very successful weekend, we had so much fun as you can see :)

Thanks for reading!

A Very packed Weekend!

Hello! This time it's Nelly :)
This post has not been posted due to not having pictures uploaded, and a post without pictures is a little boring imo.

Our packed weekend started on a Friday after work when Connie our friend Caetlyn and myself ate out at Cavallino on Lygon Street. Lygon street is a a street in Melbourne filled with mediterranean restaurants and shops, if you visit Melbourne visit Lygon too :)
The food was great with it we also had white wine, it wasn't the best but good enough.
After dinner we went to Caetlyns work where everyone had left and I started getting ready for the Night. Once that was done Caetlyn dropped me off at a Karaoke place where I had my work colleagues waiting for me to sing...which never happened :P

 

Yeah I'm really shy with singing in front of people unless I had few drinks in me or after I feel comfortable enough with that person. Anyway the night was great I had 5Free drink cards which i had to waste in less than 2hours, so by the time Caetlyn & Connie had picked me up I was..well let's say very happy. Thinking about it now I feel really sorry for Connie & Caetlyn for having to hear my singing all the way to our mate's Birthday.

The Party was at the Doutta Galla Hotel in Flemington, which never went to so we didn't really know what to expect. WOW it was a great great night, the Music was just about perfect the crowd not so much but it didn't matter because we were too busy dancing it up.  They had this special 'Tea Pot' which had...I'm not too sure what but you had to have it in shots, and because it's big and not something you can leave at the bar we had it all quick!

Connie pouring some TeaPot drink in out shot glasses.

The ones to drink it all were...no big surprise, Leigh Connie and I.

Must Toilet shots.

I'm Telling you the best pictures are always taken in the girls toilet, there is just something about them.

Girls catch up on all the gossip, make-up is being reapplied and the outfit is being fixed up. So here it is boys, you always wonder why girls take aaaages in the toilet, of course we don't pee like the Niagara Falls haha.

Here are the Girls looking all cute :)

Last pic of the night,Kisses to you from DDF :)

That mark on Connies head was from falling down the stairs on her way out, just kidding it's a lipstick mark :p
