Happy New Years :)

Happy New Years everyone. I hope you have an awesome 2012.
The new year is exciting, but at the same time I am sad that 2011 has ended.

The biggest mistake already made this year, was not bringing my phone charger with me. I was hesitant to bring it in the morning, and regretted it so badly at night. By midnight, my phone was raging at me, telling me to "Charge immediately", but I was desperate to give my love ones a call and text all my friends. 

I spent my NYE in an apartment in Mcmahons point. I was up there for the whole day. Bored.
Did some reading, listened to some music, did some sit ups, and napped.

I had a beautiful view of the harbor bridge, minus the eager crowd. I spent the majority of my time staring blankly outside the window, mesmerized by the crowd who looked like ants from where I was. I was so bored, I took hourly photos of the crowd. You can progressively see it grow larger.  (9am - 8pm)

 It was 8:45 and i wanted to watch the 9 o'clock fireworks from the roof top. Elevator was jammed packed as everyone is trying to get up to the roof also, or getting down to watch from the car park. I would be killing myself if i was stuck in the elevator meanwhile hearing the fireworks crackling outside. So i took the stairs. I ran up 14 flights of stairs. Trust me, its harder than it sounds. New years resolution 1, get fit. 

And last of all, the midnight fireworks. I chose to watch it from the car park. I wanted to get the full experience of the fireworks, by seeing it, by being able to hear it with my heart beating with the explosion of the fireworks and being able to smell the after smoke of the fireworks.

What a hectic night spent with the family. By 1 o'clock everyone was in their happy stage. By 2 o'clock we had people passing out. I didn't get to sleep til 5ish, because i remember seeing the sun peeking from the horizon. Again, Happy New Years!

To keep it simple, my new years resolution is to not have a new years resolution. I don't need some sort of list to keep myself on track or to achieve goals. I hope the best for everyone. Have a great 2012.

Nelson Bay

For the past 3 days and two nights I was up in Nelson Bay, which was roughly 2 and a half hours away from Sydney. I went with my father's side of the family. And each family had their own hotel room. We stayed at Peppers Anchorage. I was in a room with my Father and sibling. Our room was very spacious and had a balcony with a beautiful view of the pool, beach and the boat rafts.

First day was actually raining.We left Sydney around about 10ish and arrived at Nelson Bay at noon. For the remaining time we went to the sand dunes and drove parallel with the seashore. It is so exciting to see the the beach. As soon as the car stopped, we were running to the waves like no tomorrow. It was a fun moment while is lasted, it was raining, cold and so windy. Once we got back into the car, we were all sandy, wet and got the sticky tacky feeling from the salt water. Reasons why i dislike beaches. Went to hogs breath cafe for dinner, its more of a steak house, rather than a cafe. And ended the day with a swim in the pool and a pruning session in the spa.

Second day was spent at a typical beach with waves that will K.O your ass, and you will round up being wash up the seashore with beautiful skin, the sand did a well job on exfoliating on the way. It was the perfect beach weather. Afterwards, headed back the the hotel, i just hung out there meanwhile everyone was swimming at the pool. I was way exhausted after the beach. For dinner, went to a Thai restaurant, and went for ice-cream afterwards.

The last day we went to the sand dunes once more where it was nice and sunny this time. And lastly went to a bay and had lunch there before we all headed home.
