It's Waitangi Day today. It was mega hot and suprisingly I was up at 9am getting ready to go to watch Samoan Criket (Kilikiti) at McCallester park. It is just like watching normal cricket, boring. They tried to make me play but I keep running away, pretending I had things to do. I could only stand an hour of it so after me and 2 friends went to watch some of the boys play a friendly game of Gridiron.
After soaking in the sun for a while and watching boys sweat and shed clothes (I KNOW!!) We decided we had had enough of watching and went for a drive - mostley because we ran out of smokes and had to go get some more LOL. So we drove around the bays (after stopping at the shop of course) and as suspected the beaches were PACKED with everyone and their dog. It was insane!
Hataitai was also packed because of the Bob Marley "One Love" concert. It happens every year at the Valedrome on Waitangi Day, we all wondered why so I just Googled it ... 6 February is his birthday!
After we got sick of driving we went back to the guys who were just finished up and invited us over to Shawnies place for a BBQ. Now here is the interesting part, Shawnie is only 22yrs old and his partner and him own their own home. Cool aye? It's actually a nice house too located in Karori. So we waited for Shawnie and Matt to cook the meat while the rest of the boys played playstation. I had to keep walking around to keep myself awake coz the sun had totally drained me.
Funny story - I asked Shawnie and everyone else if they had any Condiments to eat the BBQ with. They all looked at me like I was a freak. How is it that no one here knows what that means? I did!!! Joy would have been mortified hehehe. Naturally, the guys thought I was talking about condoms, TYPICAL MALES!!
Finally when the BBQ was ready we forced the guys to turn off the playstation so we could watch TV while we ate, then straight after eating they put the game back on. We took this as our queue to leave as we all wanted to watch Ugly Betty and knew once the guys get back on the game there was no getting them off.
So all in all it was a pretty productive day. No drama's, which was a plus so I was happy. I saw a blue Nissan Pulsar, just like Joy's old car (Katies new car now - hehe) and felt nostelgic. One of my friends asked me today what I would be doing if I was in Auckland, I almost cried!! I miss it heaps, but I guess days like today help ease the pain.
Ugly Betty just finished, good episode today and now I am going to lie in bed and drift off to la-la land, long day today. Totally need to crash out!
Back to work tomorrow. Argh!
