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 :)

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

Happy Birthday Connie

Hello !

Like I said in my previous post it was Connies B-Day this Saturday and let me tell you, it was a great night...from what we can remember...

haha.

No we're not that bad, we always remember everything, and if we don't we tell each other what happened so that we know everything that happened.

So here's what happened:

Firstly The birthday girl had to get ready before everyone got there.                    

...Lots of curling involved



Then shortly after her family started coming over with lots of good colorful presents hehe



CAKE TIME!!! YUMMIES!                                                                            



Blow The Candles!!

  BIG 2 0  

 

*Thriller sound*

Kiiiiilling the cake!!! haha, she definitely isn't accepting the fact that she's 20 now.



Birthday Girl with the Family, naws =]                                                                



                  Her Lovely Aunty's and Uncles.               

With her parents and Younger sister and brother.

they should have cameras in their house, sometimes they're way more entertaining than the Kardashians lol.



And here is all of us!

(from left:)

Me Connie Reece Sareta Caetlyn (forgot his name, he was Iains mate who's next to him) haha

everyone was welcome to Connies Birthday lol.

The Night was then Continued at The Perseverance on Brunswick street, which you most likely would have read about in a few previous posts. At First when we got there we had a bad first impression, it was full of guys and they didn't see too nice or like our type lol.

But we thought...screw it that won't stop us we'll have a few drinks, jump on the dance floor and have some fun!

Even if there was a few creepy guys annoying us here and there there was one of the many highlights.

So this random guy comes to us while we were at the bar and tells us

 "soon walk towards where I'm standing and someone will ask you which shirt is better, the blue or the red one. say the blue one!"

We thought why not!So we go there, that mate of his stops us asks us...we say THE BLUE ONE..and who was wearing the Blue shirt? the captain from North Melbourne AFL 'Brett harvey' haha. It was so random.

xoxo=]

                     Party Animal, let me tell you!



Connie Jorrit. and Caetlyn having a drink at the  bar.

I'm honestly not sure of who he was,but I apparently took the photo and Caetlyn and Connie seem like they knew him for years lol.

Having a good time for shizzle!!!

Kisses for the Birthday Girl, MWAH!

It's not a party unless Connie or myself do the Sprinkler haha

Now this one is another one I do not remember, do you Connie?

anyway I took it, and when i saw it today i Thought the guy looked like Kal Penn, I'm sure you would have seen him in movies like Van Wilder with Ryan Reynolds, yum!

haha this one is cute

Daniel Psyching out a little haha

haha look at that pretty crazy girl in  the background!

She's pretty funny lol.

This is one of the cutest pictures of the night in my opinion =]

...we once again ended the night at Crown Casino! haha

Being Silly by the Sushi Bar.

A picture of the city all blurry and sleepy on our way home.

before that we had spend a bit of time in the car park because we couldn't find Caetlyns car.



And here we are in the car all tired and out of energy but oh so Worth it!

I want to wish My Girl a Happy Birthday again, I hope you had fun even though not everything went by plan but we ended up having more fun by not following the plans :p

You are such a great friend seriously, I'm glad to have you as my BFF I dnt care how childish that sounded lol.

I feel like this is still the very start of our Friendship and we got lots of awesome things and experiences waiting for us. you'll be an autny Connie!haha(not now..I'm just sayn..one day she will lol)

Even if we both have achieved and gone through so so many things together, good and very tough times which we wouldn't have gone through without each other, there is so much ahead of us. Even if you think 20 is old!!..It's not haha. 

(seriously, Connie and Myself have a whole list of them haha)

To The Best Friend in the Universe!Lots of hugs and Kisses and Birthday wishes again!

I hope you had as much fun as we did =]
