Ballet and shots

It really takes some time to write this blog... I guess I should write more regularly.

Yesterday morning I woke up to go the Fitness Centre to get my own gym program done. They offer long term members invidividualized gym programs made by the instructors. I didn´t get mine done yet, though, because the instructor had gotten sick. They had sent me a voice mail message about it but I hadn´t received it (or actually I did but was too lazy to set up the voice mail service to listen to it). So I just came back home to take a shower and headed to the Broadway Shopping Centre to buy stuff: shoes, a bra and 2 tops.

I had asked Tim and Moy to go watch a Chinese dance show with me and to my surprise they wanted to go! So we took a bus to the State Theatre, which is a really cool place. It´s one of those old theathers with great decorations; crystal lamps, statues and everything! It was the perfect environment for the show, Rhythms of the Orient. The dancers came from the Beijing Dance Academy and many of them are winners of national and international competitions. They were so amazing! Especially the men doing all the jumps, spins and other tricks and being unbelievable flexible was impressive. The first part was more traditional Chinese dances with colorful costumes. The second part was my personal favorite. Especially this humorous routine where a lady and a man played an old couple was so good - they really looked like they were 80-years-olds! The show ended with an impressive ballet routine. Tim and Moy enjoyed the show, as well, so I felt good I had asked them to go.

The curtain call of all dancers

After the show we came back to Geegal and a bunch of people went out to celebrate Andy´s Birthday. Since we had spent so much money on our drinks the night before Tim and I decided to have some drinks at home before heading out. We ended up drinking quite a few shots of Gin and orange juice. When we finally left for the clubs it was already well past midnight and we had trouble finding people. We kept texting with Moy but every time we arrived at a pub they had already left to go somewhere else. We found Carlos at Star Bar and had a few drinks there. Being friends with Antti (who lived in Geegal last year) Carlos is a big fan of Finlandia Vodka. We ended up having this huge (drunken) depate about vodkas, which made no sense. Another continous topic of depating with Tim seems to be singning karaoke... When we got back home we decided to have one more drink and ended up talking till 7am. When I was finally about to go to bed I realised I had locked myself out of my room. I had no choice but to walk to the UTS Security to get a spare key. My new shoes were killing my feet - I´ve got huge bleeding blisters - so I walked to the UTS and back bare foot. I was back at home at 8:30am, exhausted, and slept till noon.

Now I´m thinking drinking is a waste of time. If we had stayed home yesterday night watching a movie we could´ve actually done something today, like going to the beach. Now the achievement of the day has been buying the new coffee machine and cleaning my room. And updating my blog.
