Long time no blog!

So, it's been pretty much a year since I last left a blog entry... Lazy me! I've just been so busy with my last year of highschool (I'm going off to college - yr 11 and 12 next year!!)

Anyway, the whole reason I started up a blog was to share my memories with my family (and to be a part of the BRIEDIS blog group).

I was in Melbourne over Christmas. During my time in Mel, I'd peep an eye over at the other computers and see my cousin Dahli on her blog, as well as my uncle Hussy. It made me remember (back to the old day) when I would leave a blog entries, and it made me want to leave this one....

I just came back yesterday from a two week stay in Melbourne, which was totally awesome. I spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on clothes, and the GHD hair straightener (which I am very proud of).

In Melbourne I went to the city with my friend Amrita, she showed me everywhere and we caught so many trams, we went on a massive ferris wheel and a nice boat cruise for just over an hour.

My cousins let me drive their car... which was automatic - Very different to manual which I normally drive.. And I even drove in the city on new years eve!

For new years eve I went to a party with Dahli, drank a little and met a few people, AND saw fireworks - I had quite a lot of fun, even tho everyone was at least 25 years young! It was great fun.

My cousin Lucy did my hair and makeup, I have a whole new haircut. She just finished a course in MAKEUP and HAIR STYLING!

I spent Christmas day with my dad's side of the family - my four beautiful cousins , my second cousin Freiya (2 years old) and my uncle and aunty.

I got lots of presents of course and had a lovely roast lunch. And, it was a really good feeling giving presents to my family that I bought for them.

For boxing day my grandparents (not the ones I live with) picked me up and I spent the day with my mums side of the family! The funny thing is I only met most of my mums side of the family last boxing day - Yet it feels like I have known them forever. We had so much nice food!

Also in Melbourne, I went to the beach with Freiya and Dahli... it was stunning walking into the water with a beautiful sunset in sight.

The "FUN IN MELBOURNE" list goes on but you've heard most of my highlights!

And my holiday begins. I am going to Batemans Bay this Wednesday (for around a week) to stay with my friends. How exciting!

I'll leave this blog entry with a few videos I made of my stay in Melbourne, Enjoy!

In order the videos below are: Amrita and Crystal's Melbourne Day Out, Amrita and Crystal on a Yarra River Cruise Boat, Happy New Year 2008 and Aria and Freiya
