20th Birthday... A Day To Remember...
Chris, Arne, Doug, Fiona & Julia
Pre-Party
The Couple (Ange & Arne)
Me, Julia, Doug & Fiona
Tim, Me & Julia

My birthday celebration pretty much kicked off at about 9.00pm the night before (8th April)... My friends at the O'Connell Residence had long decided that we were to go out "clubbing", with the only problem of not knowing where to go and that we had an underaged person with us... but at 9.00pm the "pre-party" started at home... I didn't have any drinks but there were some people who were doing "Jeigermeister" shots... it was crazy... by the time we left it was about 11.00pm or so... We kinda decided to go check out GPO L2 but when we got there the line was just too long so we decided to go somewhere else... that was pretty much when the excitement started... two people in the group started some innocent back scrathing and hand fiddling which was just the build up for what was to come... Anyway so then we decided to do to Ding Dong... no idea who thought of that... so then we walked... and amazingly everyone got in... then we found out there was going to be a live band performance by some indi band called bootleg... They started at about 12 something... and went for about an hour... then later we danced for a little while until about 2 which was when we left... and throughout the whole time... the two people who were fiddling started some real hot "action"... and when we left they went off on their own... the rest of us went to Hungry Jacks for a snack and stopped by Strike where the guys had a game of pool and air-hockey... After that we went straight home... by then it was maybe close to 3am... When we got home... some really crazy drama happened which I think I should not include but it was bad... Then the girls went up to Fiona's room to just sit and talk... by the time we all got to sleep... it was about 6am... When I finally woke up it was maybe 12pm... went down made lunch and just basically at around talking... then later at night we had a girls-only dinner at La Prochetta which was 2 rounds away... And that was basically it... Doesn't sound like much but only if you were there... or maybe not... It was certainly the most eventful birthday I've since my birth (Haha)... Hence I've left behind the teen years now... Cheers...

Race Day: Melbourne F1 Grand Prix 2006

Ok so basically the day pretty much started the night before... we stayed up pretty late playing poker and me making sandwiches for race day... Then we stayed up talking and what not... and because the day had an extra hour because daylight savings came to an end and so after tinkering with the laptop for sometime I finally went to sleep at about 3am... and woke up 2.5 hours later... to shower and get ready because we planned to leave at 7... after everyone was ready we hopped on the tram and headed for Albert Park, home of the Australian F1 Grand Prix... we were not the first ones there but we were pretty early... we were so early that the gate to the autograph section wasn't opened yet... and we waited for about an hour... and when it was finally opened we have to queue in line for about another hour Giancarlo Fisichella's autograph on to find out one second before he was due that he was sick and had to go visit his doctor... damn... we were so dissapointed... but hey we got some free stationary... maybe about $30 worth... and Stefan and Julia manage to rest a bit... especially with Stefan having no sleep at all the night before because we went for Paul Van Dyk, this famous European DJ's concert thingi which started at 3 am and ended at 6 am... and anyway so we rushed to get our seats at a place that Helen has scouted for us on Friday... it was at a corner and there was a large screen there... plus the tiolets were hear and everything... good place... we managed to squeeze our way to the front and made a little spot for myself, Helen, Julia and Bianca whom joined us later... Stefan had Grand Stand tickets so he went off on his own... there was still about 2-3 hours left before the race which was basically filled with air shows and other minor races... there was one which was a celebrity race... with was quite entertaining actually because they were driving these little mercedes suv's and the drivers were pretty aggressive not hesitating to smash the other cars... Then finally the race started... awesome awesome race I have to say... seriously... with all the drama... and that incident at the finish line where Jenson's car blew up... oh man... that was heartbreaking... he was doing so well... we then climbed onto the tracks and followed the crowd to the podium but by the time we got there they were done... but Alonso was still there celebrating his win... Personally it was the best race I had been to... awesome!!! Definitely a must next year... ;p Cheers...
