Well its about damn time.

2005-06-01T00:49:00.000-07:00

I figured that that would be the first tought that went through your minds when you saw that I finally posted.

Alot has happened since the last time i wrote on there.

Lets see where to start... well Jenise came down to visit, which was alot of fun. She stayed with us in Sydney for a week. We took her to do all the usual standard stuff, ie to see the harbour and the opera house and the bridge etc. She went to go see the aquarium and the zoo as well (we couldn't join her cus we had class, yeah thats right i do have to do some work there.)

It was nice to see her after all that time i could tell she missed me ;p

After jenise left we had a starwars marathon. Thats right all 6 episodes it was crazy.... the LOTR marathon was good practice for this one. The third on was better then the 2nd one thats for. And i love watching yoda kick ass, who wouldn't love to watch a green midget kick ass.

Soon after this my sister came to vist me. She only stayed with me for 2 days.... hmm my sister 2 days and Jenise one week hmmm interesing.... (i think jenise must have a crush on me lol)

Since then its been nothing but school school school. I can't believe my stay here in Sydney ends so soon. It was good ride tho.

okay thats all for now.

MOVIES MOVIES MOVIES

2005-04-27T05:44:00.000-07:00

Well for the last couple of days all I've done is watch movies. On Saturday night I went over to the girls house and watched a chick flick called "Before Sunset" it wasn't too bad considering it was just a movie about two people walking and talking. Then on Sunday we went to watch Downfall. It was part of the German movie festival, the movie was about the downfall of Hitler. It was interesting but also very depressing. On Monday we had a Lord of the Rings marathon at my friend Snow's place. All three extended versions back to back to back. whew.... that was tough but not as tough as one would think. Tuesday is or usual movie night but Rob and I took the night off and did some homework instead. Today My and I went to a flair bartending class. It was really cool, with a couple more days of practice I think i'll be better then tommy C in cocktail. Actually the guy who owns the school that I took the course at was the same guy that trained Cruise and that other guy for cocktail... weird huh?

okay bye

Grey Days in Sydney.

2005-04-20T16:45:00.000-07:00

Well from what I've heard all my Uni friends back home are all done exams. Hooray for you. We are in our midterm week here in Sydney, but i'm all ready done. I only had one midterm and i wrote in Tuesday night. I am however busy with assignments and seminars and such. Overall this week has been really crappy, I had school work to do, the weathers wasn't that great, everyones too busy to go out and some other stuff is all up in the air.

Well actually one good thing did happen so far this week. I went to go see a Diana Krall concert at the Sydney Opera house. Let me tell you the Danish guy that designed the exterior was a genious. The Aussie blokes who did the interior... they must have been high! I think the interior of that place is uglier then UW! man I really hate 70's architechture.

I think the week will pick up however. I have today off which is nice, and tomorrow we are throwing a party for my roommate will. Not yet sure about plans for Saturday we'll have to see.

Oh and i'm gonna start my flair bartending course next week I'm so excited. I'll get to be like Tom Cruise in cocktail. Hmmm maybe I'll move to the Bahamas and open up a bar.....

Capoeira Fever

2005-04-17T06:06:00.000-07:00

Today i went to go see a capoeira performance. It was unbelieveable!!!!!! I want to learn how to do it! I couldn't believe how those people can jump around and flip and twist their bodies. It was like break dancing but with a purpose.

My roommate Will and I are going to take a four week course. I'll see how that goes. I hope i don't break anything.

oh and here is the web address if you want to check it out http://www.capoeira.com.au

Hello everybody.

Well I haven't really been up to much on this side of the world. I actually have had assignments and such to do this week so not too much time for much else. I think we are all getting tired from the lifestyle that we were living. I don't know how people can keep it up.

Well lets see what have i been up to lately... on Friday night we met up with some of the girls we met in Newzeland and just showed them around Sydney's main city core.

Saturday night we threw a little party at home and just hung out with the group.

Sunday I went on a kayaking day trip which was really nice then went to the girls the place for a dinner party.

and on Monday I went out to the 3 Monkey's (which was my favourite) bar but it really tanked last night, guess i'll have to try out some new places

well i've made a resolution to update my blog more often (like twice a week) so lets see if i can keep it up

okay see talk to you guys later... oh my Skype is up and running my user name is abhay_patel

later

I spent the last 12 days in New Zealand. It was fun. Rob and I did a Contiki bus tour of the the north island for six days then stayed in Wellington for six more days with one of my cousins. I am too lazy to put my trip pictures up right now ( :0 <--- surprised face) will do so in a couple of days.

Finally! An update

2005-03-15T20:54:00.000-08:00

Well its been a month since i've last posted.

A lot has happened since then. I got my certification as an open water diver, I started school, I moved into my new place and I turned 23. One thing that hasn't happend yet are my pics.... yes i know you are waiting for them, but you all know I only do things when i feel like it. We are getting our new internet connection very soon so then I promise the pics will be up.

A.

So yeah.... Still no pics

2005-02-19T19:19:00.000-08:00

Well I finally have a place to live. But I can't move in for another week and a half. Therefore still no pics. I've met a bunch of cool people here, oddly enough none of them are australian. Yesturday a group of us went body surfing at Bondi beach, it was really amazing. The waves were taller then Robert so we got totally rocked.

I have one more week to go before school starts so we are trying to make the best of it. We are thinking of going to Ayrs rock next week or maybe just vegging out with the group before we all start school.

I'll keep you guys updated

In Sydney

2005-02-14T20:42:00.000-08:00

Hello everybody.

Well I'm in Sydney now. Rob and I are staying in a hostel called the Blue parrot is a suburb called Potts Point. Sydney is a very nice place but it feels just like TO. I still haven't had a chance to put my pics up and won't have a chance until i get a place to live. Right now we are trying to get a place near Bondi Beach so we can go surfing in the mornings. I'll keep you guys updated.

Hey Everyone.

So I finally have my blog set up. This is just an initial entry just to set up my blog. Right now I am in LA, I spent the last six days here with Rob and his bro Mark. Mark lives four blocks from the beach in Santa Monica so I'm sure you can understand I am having a great time.

Tonight Rob and I begin our epic journey to Sydney. It involves an 18:35hour flight to Singapore, a 3hour layover then a 7:35hour flight into Sydney. Today I have a bunch of packing and running around to do so I don't have time to tell you about all the things I did while I was in LA (my next post will cover this).

Okay well thats it for now, have fun wherever you are and stay off the crack.
