It's CNY tomorrow!!!!! It is always something to look forward for so many reasons. I love seeing my mum get excited and make a fuss over everything...it is her favourite season in the year, afterall. Her excitement is infectious and because of my mum, I lovelovelove CNY too! This year my brother won't be with us because he insists on being in Sydney...so bad, we feel rejected but we are still eating 7 dishes for the four of us...craziness and looks like I'll be exercising heaps after haha. I decorated our house with super red and glittery CNY things, I was covered in glitter and felt golden and lucky for a while hehe! My mum cleaned the house and I helped her...it was tiring, but it all felt good. She made CNY goodies for us to snack on and she's been blasting CNY songs everyday and singing along...so cute and funny. My mum loves to celebrate and I guess that's where I got my love of celebrating from and I hope that when I'm living out of home I can continue with it all...but I don't know, I guess it's only worthwhile celebrating things if there's someone else that is willing to celebrate with you?

Anyway, I wrote in my last post that there was an exciting weekend! It was a very happy and exciting weekend too! On Friday night I went fishing with bf and his dad. We ended up north someplace, nearish to Joondalup, forgot the name, but the place was so nice! We fished on this jetty where the water was super calm and didn't catch anything =( But it was still nice and relaxing! I love fishing hehe!

On Saturday we went to Harbour Town and I don't think we ended up buying much at all so shopping quickly turned into shopping in the city! Browsed about but also not too much to see..so disappointing then at night it was fishing again!! This time we went to woodman's point and omg it was so windy and scary to be out on that jetty. I got wet from the thrashing waves and felt like i would be swept out to sea at some points. The water was way too choppy to actually catch anything as well, but we did catch one fish my mistake because it hooked itself to the rod as it was swimming past haha. We tried a different area for fishing...swan river I think it was next to the Freo sailing club? There was a long jetty with very calm water and lots of ducks! One lady caught a catfish so we got hopeful when we arrived, but no...no fish at all =( Still fun and thanks for the fishing adventures uncle =D

On Sunday it was the Big Day Out!! My first music festival =D I was super excited and super worried about getting burnt (crabbing experiences) so I loaded my skin with lots of sunscreen and still felt paranoid that I'd get burnt sigh! But other than that issue I had a great time walking around and looking at people. There were hardly any asians around and we felt kind of isolated haha, but it didn't matter...we felt so happening!! The first real big act we saw was Eskimo Joe =D They were so good and I fell in love with their old songs again...love them. We also watched Lily Allen from afar and listened to Powerderfinger and Dizzee Rascal...awesome. Then it got really hot in the sun, I had to buy a stupid straw hat and we found wonderful shelter and a band was playing there! We watched a lot of people at BDO and it made me realise how alike people were, almost all the girls wore short shorts and almost nothing on top..it was shocking! Alot of people tried to break into the venue as well and alot of them jumped the fence to buy booze...siiiigh to them but much entertainment for us! Towards evening time we tried out the silent disco and omg it was so weird...it was wearing headphones listening to techno on a dancefloor and dancing to it...so weird..we lasted 2 minutes haha. Then think for the rest of the night we browsed some more and watched Grinspoon before heading back home. It was a long, tiring but happy day and I didn't get sunburnt =D Thanks to my baby for this BDO treat!

On Tuesday the 2nd, it was my brother's birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY! we didn't do very much but get him a cake, present and bought him a pasta meal! Hope he enjoyed it =P

Wednesday evening Wei2 had a bbq for his 22nd birthday! We got there really hungry and pretty much ate straightaway. Sausauge in a bun with onions and sauce yum! Then it was 3 kinds of potato dishes...even more yum!! We all loved Wei's mash and mushroom sauce...so good! Feel like some now actually. Bf left after an hour to play soccer so I enjoyed my time witht he girls =) We explored the scary jetty and found the mysterious cup and when we went back to the group it was cake time...mr foo cake actually! It was yum, everything was yum..ate a lot that night. Then after more chatter people started to leave and we helped Wei to pack away and then home we went! The night went super fast but it was enjoyable, hope Wei had a great time!

On Sunday we had another Fit-R-Us event! This time we tried the long awaited ZUMBA!! haha There 6 of us there trying all the basic moves...some of them were so hard!! But we got throughe very single one =D Then it was the 20 minute workout, I didn't feel confident in applying all the new moves we'd learnt in one workout haha. I felt very silly and stupid at times but had lots of fun, alot of laughs at least hehe! After that most of us ended up at Nandos because the Zumba music reminded us all of Nandos...so bad! I ended up eating chips, chicken and coleslaw =( There goes all the efforts in Zumba, haha but oh well...Nandos was tasty!

On Tuesday after work the Zumba FRU crew tried Bikram Yoga in Myaree. I'd seen it online and pitched the idea to Jas and together we asked everyone if they wanted to try it and got a good response. So we met at the venue and got excited/nervous together before the class. 90 minutes of yoga in a 38 degree room...sounded scary to me. We entered the yoga room and omg...so HOT!! I felt like I couldn't breathe very well for a while. Started with some breathing exercises, which didn't really calm and relax me at all...too much sweat dripping down my face! haha then went into the poses, which felt good...it was like stretching. It was the cardio part of yoga and so much sweat dripped from my skin..so so much, it was amazing. I didn't last all of the poses though =( my ankle gave way when we did the japanese sit thing...it hurt! When I rested I suddenly felt the heat again and got a massive headache argh! So I just sit/lay and sweated haha. The time felt like forever in there and in the end, even though I felt uncomfortable I was really quite glad I did it! I felt great afterwards =) Of course...after the intense yoga we went to Maccas =( I tried the caesar wrap and it was yum!!

So yop! I think that's all of the major events so far...next it will be 2 weeks of cny woopwoop! I hope this year will bring me abit more luck!!
