- A good friend gave us a cute white Christmas tree with extremely girly pastel-coloured trimmings, like pink and purple balls, ribbons, fairies and gay-looking Santas. I lurrrve it. It's been getting raves from girlfriends.
- Slept over at my friend Coral's place last Wednesday. She whipped up a delicious dinner and we bought el cheapo yet good quality wine and spumante. She also made us some coquitos, a Puerto Rican cocktail made with coconut and rhum. Our friend Julie from France baked a chocolate cake, and our Danish friend Louise also made us Danish cookies from scratch. We watched Donnie Darko (my second time to see it) and pigged out again on Doritos and Pringles.
- My friends also slept over at my place two nights in a row. Louise made me penne al forno as a birthday present. We chose to stay home because we were all broke. Since we were too poor to afford ridiculously priced drinks in the city, instead we bought 7 bottles of wine for cheap, bags of candy and chocolates and we saw 20 Centimetres on SBS and Mala Educacion on DVD. Natalie also brought a good stash of videos (Little Miss Sunshine, My Father's Den), plus some rice crackers and a box of Lindt. Jose brought his laptop and speakers and put Bjork on. We also spent a good bit of the evening having good conversations and taking stupid-face-photos. Louise's Down's Syndrome face almost made me die of laughter. Yeah, it was a very mature way to spend the night.
- Had a job interview at uni Friday afternoon and I'm pretty sure I bombed it so I'm not too keen on talking about it. I'm really not expecting a call back from them so I guess I'll just have to look for other jobs next year. It was raining like mad on my way to uni for the interview and even if I brought our massive umbrella to shield me from the rain I still got drenched and it was embarrassing. My Thai friend Molly invited me to her graduation photo shoot on the same day but it was raining so bad that I couldn't go.
- Sunday I went to mass in Balmain and had a look at Julie's lovely house. The view from her place is amazing. We also met up with Coral and her neighbour Sebastian at the local pub to get $5 cocktails and play pool. It was my first time to play pool in my life and suffice it to say that I was absolutely shit at it.
- Monday I went to the South Coast with the other AusAid people. Was fun, yet tiring. Learned about the aboriginal way of life in Botany Bay, had lunch at Thirroul Beach, passed through lovely Kiama and then went trekking at Minnamurra National Park. I got rained on on my way home.
- I'll be house-sitting my roommie's boyfriend's house with my roommie for a couple of days this week. Yay, there's cable and I could play with their fat cat Ziggy.
***My friends are flying out this week, and most have already left. I'm just a bit depressed that I went on extreme anti-social mode during the early part of the semester. I actually only started speaking to these friends on the last week of class, only to find out that they're truly amazing people. Will definitely miss them heaps.
