First Week of Two Thousand and Nine

From the 31th of Dec to the 2nd of Jan, the little family stayed over our house for New Year's. Recounting with as much summarisation I can, on the Eve we just fluffed around and did whatever, played games, whatever really. At around 7-ish, my family(excluding Ate -big sister- Corleen) and the little family drove to Campbelltown to see the the fireworks. When we got there, we could kind of see the fireworks. We weren't there where the action was, but we could still see them nonetheless.

After watching the display a block away from the park where we were supposed to watch it, we made our way down, staying to catch the midnight fireworks. Unfortunately, due to a lack of complete interest, tiredness and boredom after two hours of waiting, even after buy glowy stuff and buying a bucket fairy floss. We left around 10.30, very tired, my mum was upset because she prepared a lot of food for this and was expecting more, but no one was too enthusiastic. And I said, "Mum, if we were gonna do this, why did we eat dinner first?" She shrugged off the comment. After getting lost in the Cambelltown traffic, road blocks and detours, we found our way onto the M5 after half an hour. We all got home about half an hour before midnight, enough time to ready ourselves for the New Year. I showered (hey, you would too if you had spent and hour running around with a seven-year-old) and put on my PJs. Countdown on Channel Ten. Watched the fireworks on TV, sparklers and party poppers in the backyard. Glow sticks, spinning them around (accidentally threw mine on the roof. Sorry Dad) after that. Went inside after a time. Played DS with Raymark, my nephew. Went to sleep 2am.

The next day was more fun and games (Kung Fu Panda is AWESOME!!!), had to keep Ryan, the little one who is my other nephew, occupied for 3 hours because Ate Mica, his mum, went to see movie, he is a Momma's boy. More DS play before bed, but only till 11pm this time. Also opened late Christmas pressies.

After a lazy morning of playing Rubik's cube games and lunch, we did what I had been waiting for...MAH JONGG!!!!! Yay! Didn't win, but yay! Fun. Board games (Payday and Pokemon). Devil Dice. Rocks & Gems. The little family left that night.

((I will put more detail into these later, I'm just too tired to atm))

Justin's party the next day. Very fun. Ran away from Rayan. Talked as usual. Amy came. We all went to Justin's room and kinda snobbed the food his mum and dad set out (sorry!). Did whatever for a bit. Ate snacks. Went back to room. iPod-ed for a bit. Bloody Mary (Rayan, you have %^@# dares). Rayan left at 5 ish. Found out Justin had an XBOX. Set it up. Amy had to leave. Played DOA for a bit, "You are like a fly making an annoying sound". Then we found the awesome-est game ever, 'Family Guy'!! Played for a while. Peter: "You BASTARD!!" Ate dinner there, consisting of many good foods. Full. Played more Family Guy, ate Lindt balls, Michael left. At 9pm, we were served dessert and ate more, very full by now, then May lyn and I left. My mum raged me for not calling. "But Justin's house had bad reception!"

To me, it was a very good start to 2009.
