The Gala Ball

Hello all!!

This past Friday night I was honored to attend The Gala Ball at Christian City Church with Alanah. :)
It gave us a reason to get all dolled up and go dancing... and it was a lot of fun!

The Ball was held as a fundraiser (Raise & Build) for the church, definitely for a good cause.
So I got to hang out with Alanah, her best friend Victoria, Vic's boyfriend Tim and their buddy from Sydney, Rob all night.
We got our groove on out on the dance floor, played a bit of pool, and laughed a lot. Good times.

Mental Challenge.

Look Mom! I'm blogging!!! :)

Such delay! I know!
Not a whole lot has been happening. But I do have a few pictures that I can share with you.

This past Friday night my flatmates and I gathered 'round the TV to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. We mainly just wanted to see the performances and the lighting of the torch... but seeing as how the lighting of the torch wasn't until the END of the ceremonies we ended up sitting through the entirety of the countries introductions. We made it fun by bringing out flags and cheering for our own country when the finally walked out. It was fun. :)





Sunday night I was able to attend a different church with one of the girls from my work, Alenah. The church is located in West End - close to where I work in South Bank and is called Christian City Church. It was nice. There was a lot of prophecies being given over people, so it was interesting. Different than what I'm used to, but inspiring. Afterward we went to this little Indian Tea and Coffee shop called Batavia. It was great! They give you your tea, coffee, shake on a little platter, separated so that you can pour it all together yourself. Alenah's friend, Victoria, got an Iced Tea. It came on a platter with a large, chilled soda glass, the tea in a jug, honey water in a small cup, sugar water in another, and lemon and mint leaves in another. Alenah got a Chai Latte - all she had to do was mix a jug of the hot Chai mix and hot milk into a large mug. Dale, another friend from church, got an Iced Chocolate - this came with a chilled soda glass with 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream, a jug of hot chocolate syrup, and a jug of cold milk. He then had to mix it all together. Looked good. MINE was a Chai Gatto Latto. I got a mug of ice cream with what looked like cinnamon mix sprinkled on top, and a mug of hot Chai on the side that I then poured over the ice cream. It was SOOOO good. :) Definitely going back again.




Let's see... other things that have been happening......

- Been working a lot.
- Been trying to get my paper started, but am having some serious motivational difficulties.
- I saw a silent film at the Brisbane City Hall. It was crazy! A lady played the music to it non-stop for 2 hours and was practically perfect! It was incredible. The event was part of the Brisbane International Film Festival.


- There's a new ferris wheel that's going in at South Bank. Drove past it Sunday and the buckets for the people are up - so it should be up and running soon.

Sorry I've been slacking on the posts. I'll try to keep them more regular. That way I make sure that I'm doing something exciting every week so I'll have something to write about. :)

Hope everyone's well!
