After a day of emails back and forward we finally got a venue for my birthday celebrations. I booked a karaoke bar in the city with no knowledge of what it would be like. We started off in the Fitzroy for a few social drinks to get us into the

What a fun weekend! Probably the best one in Sydney so far for me! To continue the celebration of Chris’ birthday we went on the pub golf tournament around Woolloomooloo. It was 9 establishments, one of these being a pie shop (change beer for pies). I personally managed to finish

When I say football I mean Rugby. I went to the Telsta Stadium with some of my flatmates yesterday for the ‘State of Origin’ New South Wales vs. Queensland. It was a great to be with all those Ozzies. I supported NSW as that is the state I am in
