I am totally poor, I haven’t had a decent pay in about a month! Because I had exams I only worked 10 hours the last two weeks and got paid peanuts! I don’t get paid until next Tuesday and all I have is $20. Yes, feel very bad for me!

I had a great weekend though, and I was lucky because I spent about $30 on petrol and $9 on three drinks (so cheap!) at the Uni bar on Friday. I received my certificate and a letter for my work as a student rep, I only did it again because I lost my certificate from last year!
After drinking at the Uni Christmas party we headed off to try out the new bars in Albany, they are awesome! All brand new and they were so busy!
I had been there the previous Monday for the celebration drink after our last exam and it was pretty relaxed, but on Friday it was packed! The new Takapuna.
If you’re not from New Zealand you will have no bloody idea I am going on about.

On Saturday I went to cricket with Rob, as usual. It was the best game I’ve been to in ages!! Well the teams scores weren’t so hot, but the end of the game had us biting our nails. The last two batsmen were in (who are bowlers and usually can’t bat), they needed 20 or so runs from the same amount of overs. Easy right? Well yes, but if one of them got out they’d lose the game! It was great. And yes, they won.

Saturday night was absolutely amazing!! We attended Toni’s 21st party at her beautiful house in Milford. She had waiters, ice sculptures, champagne and 95% alcohol based punch! It was a nautical/pirate/beach theme and we all enjoyed ourselves! Lots of laughs and fun. It was a party, so the usual stuff happened, so I will post photo’s instead of talking about every little detail.

Group of us, after a few glasses of the 95%-alcohol-based punch.

Jacques, Shane & Dale - I love the sky in this shot!

Me & Toni (the birthday girl). I know it’s blurry, but it’s the only one I got of the two of us.

Girls

crazy Dale!

There’s another 50 odd photos here, including ones of the boys taking the dinghy out on the lake.
