Burlesque

Last night I went to my first Burlesque class with my room mate. It was really fun but a little bit embarrassing. We learnt how to walk and a few dance moves and also how to peel off a glove.

We had to get into groups and make up a routine and then perform it for the class. I felt really shy so next week I am going to have a few drinks before I go!

Shark Attack

A few days ago there was a shark attack in Western Australia less than an hour away from where I live. A man was snorkeling with his son when a shark attacked him. They haven't found his body yet.

On the other side of Australia there was a sighting of a great white shark. The shark circled some men that had been fishing and kayaking in the ocean. It bumped one man off his kayak into the water. Some other men on a nearby boat caught it on video. In the video (url below)you can hear one man yell out "how are your undies?" He thought the man must have been so scared he pooed himself!

New Years Eve

Today is 23 degrees and tomorrow is going to be just as hot for New Years Eve. I think I might go down the beach. I have to work tomorrow but new years day is a public holiday (national holiday).

Lots of people go to parties or have bbqs and watch the fireworks. I can't believe it is already 2009 time goes by so fast!

Christmas

For Christmas I went on a trip down south to Busselton. It is about 2 and 1/2 hours south of Perth. We stayed with some friends. I went to the beach everyday, played lawn bowls and board games and drank and ate way too much.

There were lots of people staying in the house so everyday there was something fun to do. The house is on a little farm and there is a curio shop (It is short for curiosity shop) and is full of coloured glass.

The weather was nice as it wasn't too hot. Usually Christmas day is very hot, sometimes more than 40 degrees.

We drove back to Perth yesterday and there was lots of traffic on the road. I am so tired today, I didn't want to wake up this morning.
