Mel's Little World has just suddenly gotten bigger

Written 9th April

It’s been awhile since I have written and there have been a lot of changes during this time. I’m currently sitting at the airport surprisingly not shedding any tears with a one-way ticket to London and with no plans at all.

It was last November that I suddenly decided to drop everything and move to London. I didn't write in my blog as nothing inspired me. Friends were getting mortgages, relationships were getting serious, careers were the main focus ... I had to get out! I didn't want to go down that path. Not yet anyways.

I then went to Hong Kong and had a surreal time which confirmed my ability to adapt to new places myself and live it up. I then came back and went to the other extreme where I became introverted and hid behind a computer screen on Saturday nights (very strange post holiday depression). So to my friends - sorry if I was ignoring you or then weirdly suddenly latching onto you!

After I quit work, I slowly came out of my cave and went back to the usual festivals and socialising which was a lot of fun but I knew I wanted to move onto different things.

Mel’s little world became a bit too little so hopefully I will have bigger experiences which I'll share with you at www.mellyinlondon.blogspot.com

Bye!

The last few months...

Merry Xmas!

I know its a bit late... but how cute are the pics?

Manlylife

This is what Sydney in summer is all about... BBQs, beaches, beer and beats! The Manlylife boys hosted another great party in beautiful Manly overlooking Manly beach. Most memorable highlight- dancing on the 'podium' (a 6 metre high balcony as pictured below!)

Harbourlife 2006

I have been a bit slow to update my blog but here are pictures from Harbourlife, next to our beautiful Sydney harbour.
PS. my t-shirt says 'YAY!' not 'GAY!'.

Breaking into ARIAs, Manlylife and more!

It's been awhile since I've written and my blog has been quite superficial of late with endless photos from parties and here are some more ... (don't worry, my head is not always in party land. It's just that I write more not on my blog but blogs are great for pretty pictures!)

ARIAS After Party
My crazy new friends SMSed me and said, "Take Monday off! We're going to the ARIAs!". Somehow 10 of us ended being able to get in and there were lots of celebrities around and rows of free cocktails, champagne, beer and more...
(The girl kissing all the celebrities in the photo is James' cousin Erin hehe)


Jamie from Big Brother; Erin with Dean from Australian Idol

Jesse McCartney with Bree; Erin with Ricky from Australian Idol

Me & Jesse (bumped into him there!); Jimmy Barne's son and friends plus me and Chris
Party was on 2 levels; group shot

James, Aron, Me & Sam; Chris and me

Was lots of fun and ended up sleeping at 4am and going to work the next day... ugh! Funny moments were trying to stay away from Casey Donovan on the dance floor because she is quite large and she was really getting into the music and dancing around. I was scared I'd get crushed or knocked over. Was also a big blast from the past bumping into Jesse! And naughty Chris with Jamie from Big Brother. I won't say more.

MANLYLIFE
The boys had a housewarming at their place which is next to Manly beach. It was very random with people dressed up in random gear like bathrobes and rubber chickens but was lots of fun! I came up with the name Manlylife (very
original) and its going to be a monthly thing in summer but will be outdoors (it was raining that day)





Tom Waterhouse's MELBOURNE CUP AFTER PARTY
Katrina took us to another one of Tom's Melbourne Cup After parties.
