My New Years Eve was spent on the banks of the river in the city of Melbourne with a few close friends. It was lovely. The stinking hot day had cooled down so the temperature was pleasant. There were swarms of people in Crown Casino's foodcourt and on the promenade, but once we navigated those crowds, we had a spacious grassy spot with full view of the midnight fireworks. We toasted to good friends and a successful 2011.
I arrived home, by free and surprisingly reliable public transport, at 1.20 am. My neighbours were having a rocking karaoke party - singing to Blink 182, Pat Benetar and Roxette. I wanted to join them, despite not knowing their names, but my post mosquito phenergan had kicked in and I was soon asleep.
The beautiful Elvira.
My toes were painted and my tummy lined with a hearty carb-laden meal of pizza and butter chicken curry - for responsible drinking.
I bit the bullet and held my breath and bought a MacBook Pro yesterday.
Yay! I've wanted one for a long time.
It's very beautiful. So sleek and stunning. Deep down I know I only bought it because of its asthetics.
I've not done anything on it yet apart from use the internet to upload some photos to Facebook. I am keen to explore and welcome any tips or tricks as I am a first time MacBook user (other than using iMacs at uni).
The past five days have been great, but oh so tiring, and right now I'm pretty shattered, so I will report on camp and my fantastic weekend tomorrow or Tuesday (days off work = me time!).
But for now I will embed this You Tube footage of Darren Hayes performing The Lover After Me at his New Years Eve concert. My friend was there - she danced with Darren! (I wasn't able to watch much You Tube on my old computer because it was Just. So . Slow. But now, You Tube ahoy!
