Fashion Parade

Last Sunday my friend and I went to a fashion parade at the city hall. It was to promote a new designer and also a new fashion magazine. We drank champagne and talked to lots of people. All of the clothes were really beautiful and different.

Afterwards I went back to my friend's house and she made me noodles. We chatted to her roommate and his girlfriend. They are both really nice people. He is Australian and she is Thai.

Iron Man

Last weekend there was an Iron man competition and three of our friends competed. It took about 11 hours for them to complete the race which included a swim, ride and run. One of them had to pull out of the race because he felt too weak. It was fun to watch but some people got really sunburned.

Christmas Tree

When I went to my sister's house on Monday we put up the Christmas tree together. In Australia most people don't have a proper tree, they have a plastic one that they can pack away and use again. We don't have the right kind of weather for a real tree.

After we had put all of the decorations and lights on it, it looked really good. My sister's cat Tiger started pulling all of the decorations off straight away though. He is kind of naughty! He likes to sit under the tree in the dark.

Weather

The weather today is really unusual for this season. It is overcast but humid outside. It is always cold inside my building though. I can't wait to go home, work is so boring!

I have an appointment straight after work, then I can go home and relax. I am going to drink some wine with my friend and read a book.

New Puppy

On Saturday I went to visit my friend and see her new puppy. The puppy's name is Pikyla and she is so cute. She needed a bath though because her face was a bit grubby. She has lots of energy and ran around and around and bit me on the ankles.

After that I went to visit my sister and her boyfriend. When I got to their house I noticed a hole in the floor. When I asked my sister what had happened she said that Greg (her boyfriend) had fallen through floor. They have beautiful old polished floor boards in their house but I guess one of them must have gotten a bit weak over time. Poor Greg!

Slept in

This morning I overslept and was almost late for work. I usually wake up at 6.30 but I slept through my alarm clock (didn't hear it) and woke up at 7.20. I only had 20 minutes to get ready so I had to come to work with wet hair. I'm so sleepy.

Language Exchange

Yesterday I had my first language exchange. We met at a cafe in the city and talked for an hour and a half. I was a bit shy at first but it was good. He is from Tochige but lived in Tokyo. He is studying english at Tafe in Perth for one year.
