I had work the whole day from 9am-3pm. It was such a beautiful day today. 28 degrees! Too nice to be inside working. But it wasn't too busy which was alright i suppose.

After work i dropped by Sam's place with Jeremy there helping him service his car. Jeremy said he wants to service my car in another 2 months to practice. hehe!

After that we went in sat down and just chatted away for 2 hours. Was great just sitting around and chatting. Jeremy was very tired from celebrating his birthday the previous night.

I took Jeremy home and then Sam and I went back to my place for dinner then off to Coles for shopping then to Betty's house to return her pan back and also sat around and chatted abit.

Sam came and picked me up and we went to Betty's place for breakfast at 8.30am. Toast, egges, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, bacon and avocados. I haven't had proper breakfast like this in a long time.

We got to sit in Richard's new car. A mini cooper. And it sure was small. hehe! We headed out to Watson's Bay for some photoshoot. Was abit windy but it was alright. Then we had lunch at Bamboodle in Bondi Junction and headed to Bicentenniel park for some bubbles shoot.

SATURDAY 1.08.2009

Sam and I went to a friends place at Sefton to help him to move his things to his new place in Bankstown. There was 7 people all together to help him move which makes it much more quicker. His new place is so big and nice. So spacious. After unloading everything it was about 12.30pm so we went to have lunch and he shouted us lunch. Food was really good. Probably because we were hungry.

After we went back to my house to get my mobile because i left it at home. I had 2 missed calls and a message. Called Tania to see if she was home but she wasn't so i told her to call me when she was.

Sam and I went to Parramatta Wesftfield to pick up his lens that he layby. Also to go get out Itinery for NZ but they were closed. Oh well! Then Tania called me telling me she was home so i pop by her place to pick up the deposit money for the skirmish.

We went back to my place and sat down on the laptop for abit. Sam was bored and wanted me to check if there was any good movies on at the cinema. We decided to watch Drag me to hell at Reading cinema in Auburn and called Jack last minute to see if he wanted t come along. We went to pick up Jack and headed over the the cinema. Movie was alright i guess but it was so fake that it made us laugh. After that we had KFC for dinner sinced it was late we didn't want to have too much.

Finally got the chance to go swimming after 4 weeks of planning to go something always comes up. I was excited to go but omg the price went up to $5. Its expensive. After swimming went back to Sam's place for dinner. And my eyes was stinging so bad. My arms started to feel abit aching too. I would like this to be a regular thing whether its hot or cold. It doesn't matter.

I decided to take 1 more extra sick day of work. Even though i was feeling fine i just wanted to make sure i was 100% before i started work again.

Sam came over and we headed over to Liverpool shops for lunch and browsing around. Betty sms us if we were available at night to come over for dinner.

We arrived to Betty's house about 6.30pm with Richard and Ann already there. There was shapes with cheese and garlic bread for entree, vegetarian pasta and Chai tea and biscottini for dessert. It was yummy. After dinner just sat around talking abt watchin TV. Great way to stay in during winter.

SUNDAY 28.06.2009

Spent a tiring day at work because of the late night i had the night before. Sam came to visit me at work when we were about to closed up.
Went home and had a shower then went to do some grocery shopping at Coles, back to sam's place to have dinner (BBQ Chicken and fried rice), went to his sisters house and visit Betty at her place. The previous day we went to the PMA imaging technology at the Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour. We got Betty a Lenspen which you use to clean your camera lens. And she was so excited hehe! Its great to catch up on a cold night like this. After leaving went back to Sam's to pick up my foods and went home.

___________________________________________________________________

SATURDAY 27.062009

Our plan was to meet up with Jack, Sam and Huy at my place at 11am to go to the city for the PMA imaging technology exhibition. After i picked up Jack to go to my place Sam told me that Huy wasn't able to make it so i guess it was just us 3.

We drove to darlinghurst to have lunch at a Japanese Restaurant Benbu that we had last time with Betty and Richard. Food was good and filling. After that we drove to darling harbour for the exhibition. It was great. I never seen so many cameras in my live and they were massive. I saw the most enormous reflector. I was like WOW! Sam was going around getting all the books and phamlets. lol! We also bought ourselves a lenspen which is used to clean the camera lens.
After that headed back to the area to my house for like 10 mins then to Sam's place then dropped Jack off before we went to a friends birthday. Overall it was a great day out. Got to catch up with Jack because it has been awhile sinced we went out with him.

After dropping Jack at home we arrived to Tania's place with the greeting of Tania saying "JULIEEEEEE AND SAAAM". We arrived there at 7.30pm and i think we were like the last ones. It was only a small group of friends. Food was ready so we ate, drink and talk. After that we went downstairs for Karina (Tania's sister) band performing for her for her birthday. It was great. Then play pinata. lol! Sam was the first one up and it was so funny because he kept missing it and it look like he was playing Star Wars. Up next was me and i someone knocked the tail of the pony and then it was Daniel he killed the leg and all the lollies fell out.
After that we went back up to get ready for singstar. We got ourselves in 2 groups of 3's. Blue team was Me, Sam and Peter and the Red team was Tania, Caroline and Daniel. It was so much fun but unfortunately the Blue team lost. At midnight we finally cut the cake and had a piece each and open the presents and then cleaned up. That was pretty much the end of the night and it was 1am. Was fun but tiring.

FRIDAY 26.06.2009

I was watching Tv downstairs about Michael Jackson just died. Its sad because his songs are sooo good. At 9.30am got a surprised "Ding Dong". Hmm.. I wonder who it could be. Everyone was at work and telemarketers don't come at this time. So i looked at the video screen and saw it was Sam. I was thinking.. what is he doing here. So i went to open the door. Apparently he slept in and couldn't bother go to work so he decided to come over. We went to Parramatta shops. I had no idea what we were doing there. But i think we both bought a few random things.
I told Sam about this cheap place in Sefton that sells washing machine. So after parra we went there to have a look but they were closed. He tried calling them but no answer. So we though we go back home and go bike riding at 3pm. Half way home the guy called Sam so we arranged a time to go back there. Sam like the waching machine so he bought it. It was late so couldn't go bike riding. Decided to go back my place for dinner.

WATER DROPLET PHOTOGRAPHY

Last night Betty and Richard came over to Sam's house again to test out taking photos of water droplets. It's for a project Betty is doing for her blog i think. There was 3 SLR cameras there and 3 of them was testing it with their cameras and lens.
hmm... i found it boring thats why i fell asleep on the floor. haha! Didn't even know when they went home.

CATCHING UP

Had Betty, Richard and Huy over Sam's place yesterday for a good catch up. Huy didn't stay for long though because he had to go somewhere but it was nice of him to drop by.

Betty and Richard brought some pizzas over for dinner and i made some salads. They also got him a wine rack with 4 bottles of wine. Sam was like Wow, didn't expect it. Sam was thinking of getting a wine rack sooner or later. Huy got sam a set of 6 cups. They were nice. Thanks guys for getting Sam those gifts. He really appreciate it =).

After stuffing ourselves with pizzas we were so full so we went into Sam's room to relax abit and look at some photos from a few months back. They were sooo funny. hehehe! I love taking photos because they are such good memories and you can always look back and laugh a them. hehe!

Abit later during the night we had Scones i made at home earlier with Strawberry Jam, Butter and Philladelphia cream cheese with Chamomile tea. YUM!

Betty forgot her Kiwi Tarts from home so she felt really bad and went and get it when taking me home. They are yummy. But abit too sweet for me. Thanks Betty!

Overall the night was good and relaxing. Especially when it gets to winter and its cold it just good to sit back and unwind and just chat about anything. We shall do this again sometime soon!
