Down with the flu.. =(

Finally got to me..:) There's been a lot
of sore throats and runny noses around
past few weeks as the weather is getting
colder (and these rooms aren't the best
place to sleep in regards to insulation
on the balcony door or windows..)
And couple of days ago I started to feel
the same symptoms..yesterday and today
I've been in bed basically, watching movies,
drinking lots of fluids and sneezing.

I'm trying to remember what all I did last
week, after the Kuring-Gai evening
but my head is just spinning and so clotted
that can't really think at the moment :D

On sunday we had a wine and cheese night
here at Geegal, after which we stopped by
at Paddy Maguires as Mills and Vern
(two guys who used to live here) were going
away for good, flying from the
country on monday..just stopped by as
I had a full monday working with finalizing
the marketing assignment that has been
in the making since forever :D Basically
we spent monday and wednesday here at my
place and at the library writing and
formatting the text. On wednesday we
kinda had an unplanned BIG NIGHT, AGAIN :D
It was the Norwegian independence day and
Carlos called me around 4pm to get myself
a shirt and a jacket to get into this
fancy night club at Circular Quay with
some norwegian people and friends..as the
assignment was finished and all that was left
was returning it next day before 5pm,
I called Michael and borrowed his suit
and went to Circular Quay! :D

Was actually really nice, the evening was really
warm and people were partying, either because
of the independence day or the Barcelona-Arsenal
match that was kicking off at 4.30am :)
We went to Pancakes on the Rocks, a nice
24-hour restaurant with awesome pancakes,
to Lowenbrau Keller, this German beercellar
in the Rocks as well while waiting for the
Norwegian Party to begin..at 9 we headed for
the Cruise Bar, a high-class nightclub
facing the Opera House over the bay..
lots and lots of scandinavian people,
norwegian music and people celebrating and
waving their flags :) Nice to see that though
I have totally failed to meet ANY finnish students
during my stay here, there still are people from
Norway and Sweden at least to keep the scandinavian
spirits high. Well anyway, with 9 dollar beers we
didn't stay that long but went to the after party
at Scary Canary, had a few beers and ended up
in Cheers, this sports bar on George Street
where we played pool for a couple of hours
while waiting for the football match to begin..
In the end I walked home at 6.30 in the morning,
first time while I've been here I walked home
during daylight :) Just have to say, you should have
been there to see the football fans go at it
as the game started..there must've been about
a thousand people in Cheers that night!

Thursday and Friday I didn't get up to much,
on Friday we planned to go and see
the Da Vinci Code but it was sold out,
all four screenings at Broadway Hoyts Cinema!
So we just bought lots of chips and ice cream
and chocolate and got a movie from Blockbusters..:)
Saturday it was Blue Mountains again! We went
there with Chris, Arnold and Asif, did the whole
Katoomba tour with the skyway, scenic railway
and the old mines, three sisters and Katoomba
Falls..lucky for us the weather was warm and
sunny up there as it rained here all day..
on our way back I started to feel a bit cloggy
but didn't think much of it, and continued
from Geegal straight to Coogee where this guy
Monkey (yes, he does look a bit like one :)
was throwing a house party with punch and
bbq..It was fun for a while but then I started
to feel so tired and cold that I came back home
early..and so on Sunday morning didn't manage
to get out from bed anymore :|

And here we are, today I've just watched a couple
of movies, wrote an essay for tomorrow's
International Business lecture, sent out
birthdayparty invitations and posted up
a notice on the front door to let
people know a party is coming this saturday..:)
Yesterday basically the same, just trying
to get back in shape and healthy for saturday..
tomorrow if I'm feeling better I'll probably go
and see the Da Vinci Code with the flatties
but will have to see if I'm up for it..

But now I think I'll have a quick shower
and head under the blanket, put
on Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers and
wait for sleep..Cristy gave me some
Vick's Vaporub and Kleenex so I'm all
set for tonight :)
