| Woolworth Trade Only Fooooood Show
I am really tired and too exicited so this post might not make a lot of
sense...but I had the most amaaaazing day EVER (food wise)! I worked at
the woolies
trade show and not only did i get to have unlimited
oysters/salmon/prawns/chocolate dipped
strawberries/steak/prok/ham/cheese etc for breakfast and lunch.On the
last day (today) they were giving everything away for FREE!!
So imagine the biggest wollies you can ever imagine, imagine everything
that you want to buy at woolies...but its all FREE! Now I got
insane amount of food and products to last me for like 3 months. There
were sooo much food on shelf the only trouble i had was trying to
decide what i want the most cuz I couldnt carry everything, some of the
stuff I got were:
- Kettle every flaovur chips
- Red Rock Deli every flavour chips
- Nutella jars..in 1 kg sizes
- Pancake mix
- Magnum Ultras
- Beuno chocolates and those new mini eggs
- Soy King snacks
- 12 punnets of blueberries
- 15 punnets of stawberries
- enough apples and bannnas to last my family for 2 months
- Eden chocolates
- Cadbury chocolates
- Mars bars
- Green's Cake mxes
- Santa Vittoria drinks.. the mandarin sparkling, lemon sparkling, lemon and peach ice teas
- Nescafe coffee
- Coffeee liquers
- 4 family pack cookies
- Xmas Cakes and puddings
- Sunbeam Fruit Bites in 4 diff flavours and sultanas
- Rogan Josh/Vidaloo/Butter Chicken/ Thai Green Curry sauces
- I got 20 different types of cheeses (no exaggeration)
- so many gourmet dips and gourmet dipping oil
- mango and berry yoghurt
- fettucini/nocchi
- Schwarzkopf got2b hair products
- Johnsons Johnsons Holiday Skin moisturisers
- mussules (also had 4 dozens of oysters, but I couldnt take them cuz I didnt have any more space in my bags)
- tiger prawns
- kingfish
There were also giving out flowers for free and there were also heaps
cartons of coke/ mt franklin / Lipton Ice Teas /Magnum / Shapes /Santa
Vittorias /all the Coke Amatil products, like all the softdrinks etc
Everything was literally free and they were like 'if you don't take it
we are just going to chuck it out', and it was such a shame to see bins
after bins of prawns, mussels, salmon, straberries etc go to waste cuz
everyone couldnt take anymore. I made 4 heavy trips to Will's Car and
by the end my arms were so sore from carrying everything. In all, I am
really proud of myself that I was able to give food away for free
(half of it to Will cuz he has flatmates who can eat a lot, and to my
neighoburs tomorrow)

Skiing & co
So i came bk from Thredbo 1
week ago and it was pretty good for a first timer. While the skiing and
snow was good, but the company was better. We had the bigger room, 8 of
us, Will, Ray, Mat, Jason, Jonno, Ming, Bryon and myself.
I took beginner's lessons with Adriel, Jonno, Miso, Andrew and Simmona.
While others picked it up fairly quick, i fought hard just to walk on
my skiis. My lack of ability was increased exponentially by those Milo kids who are like 3 years old and they all zooomed past me doing formations, to which i had to give way. Very embarrasing indeed.
On the first and second night, Albert, Aba, Anna, Jonno, Will, me and others played poker straight after dinner, which is always fun. This is followed by "Unlce Ray's bed time stories",
which consisted of Will's friend Ray-the stockbroker reading stories
(with commentry) from a pono mag. It was the funniest thing ever, and
it was sooo funny i couldn't even sleep and we acutally bought him
another prono mag cuz he finished all the stories within one night.
On the third night, the
boys got smashed and Will's penrith friends and Jonno went out to the
servo at 3am in the morning and randomly bought an Annastacia CD and came bk with Annastacia singing *im' outta love* on full blast on our boom box and woke everyone up.
On the third day, everyone sorta chilled a bit. We went to the highest restrauant Eagle's Nest
for lunch. Jonno bought a $30 steak which was smaller than the palm of
a hand. Of course we were paying for the view, which was breathtaking.
And not to mention the chairlifts up and return were exhilirating. We
ended our ski trip with a snow fight and Tash and I and others built a snowman (named Frosty),
which was short lived because we were told by security to destroy it
cuz it was sorta on the ski path and someone might crash into it.
Nonetheless it was really fun.
By the end of the trip, we drank half of the alco we brought (we
brought soemthing like 11 bottles). Eveyrone was almost sick or just
really tired and we were dreading the prospect of going bk to uni the
next day.
Highlight of the skii trip? Def 'uncle Ray's bedtime stories', the
morning hash browns were bloody awesome, i had at least 4 hash browns
everyday with my bacon, egg, toast, juice and baked beans. Learning to
ski was also a highlight and building a snowman and having a snow fight
ended the ski trip perfectly.
Other than ski trip, I have been watching heaps of movies with
Will. We saw the Lake House, Cars, Pirates, Da Vinci, Xmen and some
others. And movies on the to-watch list include: The Devil Wears Prada,
Hoodwinked, the Sentinel, Miami Vice.
And recently i have just discovered Oporto does all day breakfast which is awesome for me cuz i love my bacon and egg burger + hash browns!
Oh and happy birthday to Teresa and Julie!
We had late dinner so we rocked up to party late... like 1.30 when half
o the people've already left. Aniways i have never seen Julie so out of
it, she probably doesn't even remember us arriving and as for Teresa,
because she was still standing we (Will and Jonno) bought her some
crazy mixed drinks that looked deadly and smelled foul, surprsingly by
the end of the night she was still standing. Bar Europa
was really nice, the lights and the space was cosy and had good
ambience. Speaking of bdays, my birthdays and fellow Leos' is coming
up. I dunno whether i could be bothered to do anything cuz i am lazy
and busy.
Worked at Sexpo on Sat and it
sucked! I think it's cuz I saw too much of everything last year and
there was nothing new at this year's show. There were heaps of chinese
massage, photography and pole dancing stalls. The only sorta new stand
there this year was the *show me your camel toe* stall which was sorta
funny cuz it was basically truckkies and 50 year old mums selling
tshirts and caps with *show me your toe* slogan. This year also had
this really lame ride called *Experience the Gerbiel* which i have been
told is like the worest ride ever. This year, unlike previous years
they didn't have a famous porn star. The best talent the show had was Arianna Starr - last year's Miss Nude Australia (she performed last year as well, so her performance was recylced).
aniwayz pics coming soon!

| So what's happenin?
Yeah for the holidays! The most fantastic thing that has happened since
last time is that i am bk in oil painting classes = my happy place. I
am painting one of Carrie Graber's paintings:
 
After I finish this one, i am gonna do some masterpieces like some of Vermeer's *Girl with a pearl earring*
then afterwards i am gonna do some of Ruben or Renoir's works where
they concentrate heavily on bodies. I painted some of Salavador Dali's
stuff before but i have found his stuff is not hard to paint, what's so
valuable about his paintings is the ideas behind it, so i think i might
move on to some of the more Romantic/Neoclassical period artists.
I just did spring clean and unloaded bags of clothing to the Vinnie's. It feels good to give.
Uni wise..... i am proud of
myself this semester. Got good semseter results. And also i got 2 HDs
for my 2 major marketiing assignments, and one of them got the grade's
highest mark. Very proud.
Work wise... was at the Good Food and Wine Expo, though unlike last year i didnt get time to look around and spot bargains! Sexpo is
coming up... last year i worked at Sexpo from Thursday-Sunday, and I
saw enough nudity and strippers to last me a year, and not to mention
dildos looked so toys r us-ish after 4 days.
Coming up? Skiing next weekend,
should be really fun with mister big willy, some of his penrith
friends, jonno, albert, anna, charlie, kyung, byron and the rest
of them.
Here are some pics! (mostly i scabbed it off bubzy cuz i always forget to bring my camera)

Gwedoberry's 21st! 30-06-2006

| Tian's 21st!
- cruising with pirates and sexy maidens
So it was Friday night, 21st of April, the only thing that i could come up that was close to being pirate-ish and maiden-ish was a stripy top. it was a lil cold but man it was an awesome night. Cruisin on a 2 deck boat with awesome buffet, embarrasing speeches, a dancefloor and tian's stripping to live up to his *pornstar* status was just a heck lot of fun. The slideshow and decorations Tina prepared for him was sweet. I reckon he must have got like at least 10 shirts, 10 set of cufflinks and 5 ties.
Afterwards, majority of us went to Wembley for some serious pool sessions till like 3am. Happy Birthday Tian!  Anyways here are some pics (thanks to Kenny)!
^ Tian and the lovely miss Tina (notice how tina has the same letters as tian haha)
^ Will, me, Kenny, Adam's apple

In other news, Beauty Expo was awesome. i got all these facials, beauty specials, had my makeup done like everyday twice, met Jennifer Hawkins and had a 30 minute microdermabrasion treatment.
China here i come!

| Yeah last day of the Easter Show!
call me a party pooper but Easter Shows
aint the same when your working there. Personally, this year's show is
better than last year's cuz i didnt have to work there everyday doing
crazy 10 hour shifts. And not working long hours also means i dont have
to spend 4 bucks for a can of Coke or 4 bucks for a bucket of chips.
Today is the last day! Gonna scoop up some goood super cheap bargins
after work. Last year i remembered the bargains were crazy, They were
just giving out showbags in the end, 10 packets of Vege Chips for like
2 dollars, a box of apples for 2 dollars, 2 packs of
Fardulous Chocolates for 4 bucks and the Good Food/Super Food ideas
stand wre giving out free Kikkoman sauces/frozen vegies etc.
This Friday/Sat i am also working at the Beauty Expo @ Darling Harbour! i can't wait!
I forgot to do an update on Will's 21st (mainly cuz i forgot to take photos). His friends from Penirth + uni people + poker people came. The speeches were...hahah The cake was humongous. There were about 70 people there and the cake wasn't even half finished.
Afterwards, the poker crew was pretty drunk and they decided to play poker at 2am.
(someone suggested to go to Star City and play there while they were
drunk ahhaha) Things got even more interesting when they decided to play Footy at
a park in Pymont near Adriel's place at 4am! The boys were only wearing
T shirts and I was wearing 2 jackets and i was freezing. But i guess
when your drunk, you don't realise these things. To top the night off
Adriel tackled Will and sat on his stomach for 2 minutes, which made Will
throw up on Cleveland street while riding in Yang's car to Maroubra. Happy birthday sweetheart! 
^ i really like this pic, cute and sexy (and yes it's Gisele )
