HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Hope you all had a great christmas and a fantastic new year! I definitely had an oz xmas, as I spent it with Rusty and his family in Blind Bight. I had a great time! And I got presents aswell. A bottle of pure finnish vodka, shorts, facial care kit and a bracelet. Thank you!! We ate xmas dinner on the 25th of december, because everyone celebrates on the that day, rather than on xmas eve as we do in Finland. It was warm and sunny, we ate outside and then had some drinks with just friends. The xmas lunch/dinner included ham, chicken, veggies, spuds and crackle. Crackle was the only thing I really didnt get, hehe. They took the fat from around the ham and put it in a grill so that it gets crackly, and seasoned it with salt and pepper and oil i guess. The thought of eating pure fat was resenting, but I had a taste...and I still cant decide. I didnt like it, but I didnt hate it. I tried it with gravy aswell, but it didnt help in making a decicion. My friends were checking my plate all the time, just incase i`d given up so that they could have the crackle haha! After dinner Rusty, Kylie, Mr.Trent (hehe funny story about another trent going to a brothel is where that name comes from) and I had some drinks and went to trents museum-house(theres lotsa stuff from africa) to fool around in the pool. It was already like ten o`clock but the water was still nice and warm to hang around in. For example I tried surfing with a beach mattress..and Kylie and Rusty were competing in diving. It was great fun! Then I was hanging around in Blind Bight for some days before I went back to work.
I had to work new years eve..and day. I was really pissed off and disappointed for having to work, because I was really looking forward to spending new years with close friends..as I AM on the other side of the world. It was pretty quiet before 12 o`clock but after that it was busy as! I made around 200 $ in tips, so it was ok. And we were given a glass of champagne for the countdown and we closed the bar for 15 mins so we could go out and see a bit of the fireworks. So it wasnt as bad as I thought. Oh and also we had some after hours drinks and a laugh with my workmates. I just thought that I had to stay up till 9 o`clock in the morning to shout HYVAA UUTTA VUOTTA (hoover under water as I work mates said it) with the rest of Finland. Called up Sanna too and she said I sound like an oz when i said something in english. Fantastic! haha!
My year 2009 has started out pretty good. Ive been working around 3-4 shifts a week and also ive spent some time at Rustys. Like last time we went fishing!! I cought three fish, one of them was a big flattie! It was so good as we ate it the next evening. Yummy yummy! I got a good tan also, because the weather is starting to be really nice everyday now. It was around 30 degrees and a clear sky those couple of days I was in blind bight and otherwise its starting to be over 25 on average. So we arent freezing anymore hihi!
I heard from my flatmates just this morning that the landlord was asking about me while I was at work. I think I have to move out soon, because I told him that im moving out any day now. I`ll be staying at Neales place for some time and then maybe the last week in a backpackers or something like that. Its sad, because now I realise that I have to leave soon, and Im going to miss everyone so much! But this is good, because it makes me move on bit by bit. And there are lots of friends waiting on the way! Also I guess i can always come back here..
I have to take a powernap now, because I have to go to work at 8 o`clock tonite. Had a couple of afterhours drinks yesterday so my head is banging.. Hope you are all doing well and I appreciate your messages and the favours youre doing for me back home. Kiitos Jussi puhelimesta !! x
G`nite! I`ll catch up with you later.
Love,
Liisa
ps. saw tuisku the other day, she`s on her way to Perth soon. Oh and I can do a pretty good oz imitation of sayin G`day mate how u going! Im so proud! haha! xx
