Port Venture Weekend

Hey guys, this week was really good, work wasn't to bad this week and there was a little bit less pressure on which is all good. I'm getting used to it all now.
Came third Wednesday night @ poker and unfortunately it was the last poker night :( and an early night on Wednesday.

I've read six books since I've been in Australia, about one a week. It's been great to spend so much time reading however I think I'll give it a rest for awhile. It's starting to heat up abit as well up to 31 degrees. At lunchtime I walk back to my apartment and go for a swim in the lap pool. It's good to have a pool in my apartment complex, it's very refreshing and will be great in summertime when Leon and Cam visit.

Went to the movies on Friday with Ken, Debbie, Barry (Californian millionaire) and Rachael (office hottie) we saw Borat, Borat, Borat, a flithy, dirty, raw and hilarious movie. It's not everyday you see something so crass but it has it's place under 'comedy reality movie'. Everyone really enjoyed it, but I'm very glad it was only an hour and a half. I can only handle so much rubbish.

Saturday for lunch, I met up with Blair's cousins finally (thanks Bex). It was like a meeting of the xpat Kiwi's, there was

  • Tania - Blairs cousin from NZ come migrated Port local.

  • Jason - Tania's boyfriend Jason(bouncer/kick boxer).

  • 'H' and Ashley, 'H' was from NZ and was a local bouncer(kick boxer).


Jason has his own martial arts studio, once I get my car I'll go check it out. Now that I know half the bouncers in port going out should be very safe :)

Saturday night was cool another night of clubbing with Ken and Shoiab(Pakistan) another guy from work. There was lots of dancing and we met up with some guys from poker, they were dancing HARD OUT. One of the guys had sweet pouring off him, it was a little gross. FYI Mum - Met a few girls but nothing to serious :p.

Sunday I woke up late and spent most of the day doing chores, however I went and got a ticket on Port Venture for 25 bucks. Port Venture is a 2 hour cruise around the Hasting river and the Port area. It was good fun, I saw the dolphins, car ferries, big houses and had swim in the boom net. The day was sunny and it was very relaxing.

Tonight I've ironed all my shirts and am real keen to see everyone from home again, it's only been 7 weeks but I'll be going back this Thursday for Bex's 21st on Friday. If you've got any good idea's as what she wants for her birthday let me know :) It's going to be one huge party and it will be great to catch up with my family and crew.



Take care, be good, but not to good :)
Love Jamie
