I'm baaaaaaack
Heh heh just when you thought my blog was dying =P its so annoying, everytime i've gone to update here recently the comp has frozen or something has prevented it from publishing so here goes....Family Holiday
Went up north with my family a week or so ago. Stayed at Warkworth for a couple nites at a friend's bach and then went to Paihia for a couple days and had a look around. The weather was great :) its so historical up there. We went across on the ferry to Russell and had a look round there, saw the oldest church (that still has services) and Pompallier house etc. Our main goal was to go right up to Cape Reinga so we decided we'd do a day trip from Paihia like most of the tourist buses do, and yeah it was a long drive but worth it :) The beaches u see on the way up there look so nice and when u actually get to Cape Reinga its real rugged. Was cool tho coz u could literally see where the 2 seas met - not many places in the world u can go to to view that. Also we randomly saw my brother's PE teacher up there of all ppl! heh heh just when teachers thought they could get away from their students! Anyway on the way back down we came through Kaitaia and then stayed in Paihia another night. The following day we went to Waitangi which was good - i only remembered bits and pieces from when we went there when i was younger. Huge numbers of tourists were there, like most places in the Bay of Islands area. And yeah then we went back down to Warkworth for a few more days. Went to a friend's place and was able to go biscuiting which was fun =) So yeah, overall was a pretty good holiday.
Parachute '05
Finally got to go to my first Parachute this year =) was pretty cool. I worked with my friend in the Crew & Artist's cafe for a few hours on the Sat, Sun, & Mon which was good coz it meant we got in free to the festival. Day of Fire came into the VIP bit one of the nights and i thought they were Third Day at first coz one of their guys looks a lot like Mac Powell (lead singer of 3rd day). hehe lucky i didnt go up and ask them if they were. Didnt see any of the other headliner bands come in but yeah. Third Day were pretty good on the Sun nite =) they get good audience interaction. Also caught the end of Jeff Deyo, he's pretty good worship leader as well. And yeah Mum's Dollar were cool, they played on Mainstage on the Fri nite and a couple other times on the w/end. Hehe and i also went to go see the solo artist girl 'Priscilla' sing, she's from south akld too and had a pretty good voice. So yeah was a good w/end, i'm hoping to go again next year :)
Another month's holiday
yay, its so good not having to go to uni still end of Feb/beginning of March, while everyone else is either off to school or work :) i've enrolled in all my classes and got my timetable sorted out, just got a few more things i need to do to get ready for uni.
New Job
This morning i started my new job teaching piano/keyboard down at the local music school. It wasn't too bad, considering i havent really done much teaching b4.
Well thats about it from me for now....will try not to leave it so long to update again
