We walked around Darlinghurst tonight looking for dinner (ended up eating @ Betty's Soup Kitchen, check out my food blog! )

Saw this grey building with red writing, i think they go well together got Rick to snap up a photo of me against it. I wore my pink (what are they called again???) well i spent $100 on them and have hardly worn them, thought they'd be a good look for the Bloc Party gig we were heading too

Spewwin i didnt bring my zoom lens for the gig i would of gotten some good shots!! THEY WERE AWESOME they sound EXCELLENT live!!

Monday 24th November 2008

I woke up early to take a few pictures with my new cam this morning. I LOVES IT !! (anita, GET ONE!! hehe). I just need a faster net connection at home, & ill be able to upload everything i take onto FLickr (right now its going soo slow)

Had our 2nd last game of touch footy tonight, Rick came to watch again (thank baby for coming!! i love you!!),

I SCORED MY FIRST GOAL!!!!! all i can say is - tht i was at the right place at the right time haha =P

As usual, the game was not enough cardio for us gym junkies so we headed to the gym. I started the cycle class, but wasnt very motivated so i left and went running instead. Ended up looking more puffed then Nhuy & Cheeky did when they came out of the cycle class heehee

Felt soooo good. You know its been a good work out when your whole body feels like jelly, and you're in a trance like state zoned out in your own lil world

Anyway this photo was snapped up after the gym, Cheeky you are such a poser =P

Sunday 23rd November 2008

I spent the day with Rick today. Had breakfast at cabramatta (fresh rice rolls, then yum cha cos we were still hungry haha). Then went to get an oil massage at the New Thai Massage palace. This sign cracked us both up so much, we had to take a lol

This was my first oil massage (besides the one that Rick gives me). She smoothed out all the knots in my back and shoulders it hurt but felt sooo good afterwards. Definately going back again!!

After lunch back to Rick's where we watched Heroes & lazed around, with his new Humidifier!! (i got this for him, bcos he has excema, and while in Thailand it was so humid that his skin was perfect)


We headed to Parra for some cam shopping, i didnt expect to buy one but we left with my brand new Nikon d60 !!!!!!!!
SOOOOO excited, went home, charged it & went out to dinner we had thai @ Liverpool (i'm starting a food blog now, il post the link up a bit later!!)


Anyway i have soo many plans, i've made a Flickr account so i can put all my photo's up, & i plan to turn my babydoll.smilee.net into a proper site!!! Going to ask Alicia for some help, she's starting a webdesign company with her friends which is so cool!!


Had such a long weekend, with no exercise AT ALL, too much eating, not enough sleep!

Saturday 22nd November 2008

TOday was the Relay for Life Event !! It was a great day, besides the horrible wind and tiny but of rain in the arvo.. But it was so much fun! Me & Rick were the only ones who came early to help Cheeky set up

Basically, it was held on a running track, the aim was to raise $100,000 for the cancer foundation (we raised $110,000 altogether!!!!!!)
the link to the photo's are here (http://picasaweb.google.com.au/bettypham20/RelayForLife2008#)

We sold popcorn, fairy floss, show bags, and did hair spraying!! & there was an auction, hugs for hope (we all joined hands around the track and tried to fill up the whole lane, but we were short a few mtrs..!!), shows for the kiddies, nice baked goods people brought it (my fav was this one caramel slice it was ssoooo sweet!)

Here in the pic are Jenny, CHEEKY (the beautiful organiser), Kat, Lisa, Lisa's Girlfriend (i've forgotten her name), and ME!

Richard brought some snacks into the hospital tonight ! Some Sun Chips & Imitation Choc Almond POcky.

Sun Chips - 30% lower fat then normal potato chips, made out of wholegrain, crinkly cut - SO DELICIOUS!!

Imitation pocky - skinny wafer sticks dipped in chocolate and covered with almond bits.

That was pretty much my dinner tonight, the hospital canteen didnt have anything nice tonight!!

Wednesday 19th November 2008

Got my sister this purple 8 gig ipod nano for xmas, i ordered it online and it comes with free engravement & shipping (i got it in 3 days) $200, Rick split it with me ^.^

Currently downloading some RNB tunes for her (something i dont have, i cant stand rnB for somer reason, there's only a few songs i like)

I hope it won't be tricky trying to sync this ipod with my current itunes (that has all my songs on it). I'm hoping i can just sync playlists without my whole library....???

Shaheen (work mate's Wife) packed some sweet desert for me to try today. This is soooo nice, i spoke to her and she said its simply milk powder, milk, condensed milk, microwaved..!!

I'm going to come over & learn this from her, as well as the indian rice Biryani, i love her cooking!!

We won the game tonight (touch footy) !! Or, we drew 6 all it wasnt quite clear.. Rick came to cheer me on tonight thanks for coming babe :)

Sunday 16th November 2008

i found this in the latest Better Homes & Gardens magazine, Xmas stuff (i need to do my xmas cards!!). Bought some felt a few wks ago but havent had time until today to try and make one.

I ran for an hour at the gym this morn (wooooo legs felt like jelly afterwards lol), then headed into the hospital to spend the day with Annie

Anyway, look at my retarded star :( it looks NOTHING like the magazine. Well, i'll need to use the pre printed star shape (i was too lazy to find a photocopier)

>.<

Rick came in to surprise me this afternoon! We watched "pineapple Express' with Annie (from the maker of super bad)

This movie is sooooooooo stupid & Funny we all needed a good laugh :)

Saturday 15th November 2008

after spending the morning with ANnie, when my parents came in after lunch i headed off to see Rick, havent spent any alone time with him since he got back on Monday.

We went to Criniti's in Parramatta for some pizza, over to Max Brennars for hot chocolate. I ordered a Suckao it was sooooo cool, it's like making your own hot chocolate.

You get a little thing with a tea candle in it, and above it in some milk that gets heated up, then you put lil choc chips in it so it melts (we chose dark chocolate), and you can get extra choc and milk it was realllllly nice i wana have it again hehe

Played VORTEX on my ipod (majorly addictive game, anyone with an ipod this game comes in there already)

I dropped Rick off at home and i went home to get changed & pretty myself up for a night out with Rick. We had a cocktail and Helm Bar (old Pier26 bar), then dinner at Chinta Ria, then desert at Lindt Cafe (feel so bad eating all this junk but it was soooo good!!)

It sprinkled a tiny bit, but i had so much fun tonight i really missed my baby :)

Oh & this picture (i almost forgot haha), walked past the Roxy whil they were testing out the music (jungle electro music haha), these stringed balloons are sooo cute!! Rick took this pic he's so good at taking fotos

Wednesday 12th November 2008

i tried out a hip hop dancing class tonight with Nhuy. It's 2 minutes outside from Westfields Parramatta, $18 per class (or you can get a 10 pass for $150, saves you 3 bux per class)

they have classes in the city and recently opened up a studio in parra (link is here)

the instructor is a tall european looking girl (married, saw a ring on her finger hehe)

she's soooo slim, tall, short blonde hair, looks like she plays b-ball or something

it was a fun class after an hour & 45 mins we learnt about 2 mins (LOL) of a dance routine 'creep' by TLC

Rick will be joining me next week along with Jeremy, Will, and im gonna ask Anita & Jenny too yays :)

Tuesday 11th November 2008

I didnt realise how much i missed him until he was holding me in his arms again..

Also he's really black now >.<

Monday 10th November 2008

nhuy drove us to footy tonight! After we went to the gym (gym junkies i tell ya!)

the guys had no subs tonight, so they played the full 40 minutes they were exhausted! we played a younger team tonight, these two guys were SO DAMN QUICK running and dodging us like rabbits

Richard came back from Asia tonight can't wait to see him :) & also he's coming to watch me play next week for the first time!! Yup about time =P

Sunday 9th November 2008

woke up n ice & early today for a bike ride with Jeremy. Leaving my house i see dots of colours scattered on the street, little toy plastic balls (actually now that i think about it i should have taken a photo of the street from afar hehe)

We rode to Cabra and back, and stopped for my fav french fries from a small take away shop in St Johns Park (yummy!!)

Got home, went to the shops with mom bought some groceries, had some lunch & headed home for abit before going in to see Annie.

Watched Step Brothers (what a stupid movie..!!) & i accidentally... SWALLOWED part of my tongue ring. It should come back out again tomorrow... haha

I went to buy a new one, and got two new bellyrings aswell

Annie slept the whole time i was there, don't think she acknowledged my presence there at all..

I finished reading Eclipse (so good!!) and waiting for my sister to Finish BReaking Dawn. I really want the series to continue...!! Otherwise ill look for other Vampire related books.

i wanna be a vampire, me & Rick. Not growing old together, travelling the world, living forever..

L-R: Nhuy Jenny Alicia Me Anne

6th November 2008

the starlight foundation sent Annie these beautiful flowers!!! they smell wonderful (and i have fever!!)

I've had hayfever real bad this wk- i dont recall ever geting it this bad EVER before..!

I took a claratyne cos it was so bad, realised after that it was.. PAST its use by date..!! grrrrr but nothing happened, it just probably didnt work as well.

Well i was desperate i was sneezing so much, runny nose ughhh there goes my rule of not taking any meds unless i really need it. No more meds for me i can't believe i gave in

Im anti meds unless i really really really need it (like when i got the flu 2 wks ago). If annie wasnt sick i would of let it ride out, because even if u dont take any meds the flu will go away eventually, it just takes maybe twice as long and you gotta put up with the symptoms

5th November 2008

I went to the gym with Anne today (they don't check ID so i used her brothers pass)

Did some running and stepping machine and i did 20 pushups (on my toes woohoo!)

HEaded over to the courts nextdoor and played some singles & doubles with Leonid & Pete

My back hand is improving (only slightly haha)

Headed home at 10 because ANNE was hungry & the boys were tired (i could of played for another half an hr or more!!)

Anne's mom made us dinner. Asian vegies, pumpkin, eggplant, friend rice. SOOOO good i stuffed myself silly probably ate up all the calories i had burnt . . . plus more lol

2nd November 2008

i hit the gym this morning bright & early, did some running and then went to my appointment at 9.15 to renew my membership. 

Basically i save about $120 if i pay for one year upfront rather then a direct debit each month

I've been a member for like 2-3 yrs now, i never got a welcome pack until now!! I got a back pack (which i probably wont use) a waterbottle (nope, wont use this either), ear phones (im giving to my dad) and a towel (yes!! i needed a new towel) hehe

& i managed to get a free day pass for Rick  so we're gonna make the most of it and stay at the gym all day haha =P

Spent the rest of the day with Annie. She slept for most of it- so did i. I was in need of some catch up sleep i havent slept much this week 

1st November 2008

I brought in some Donna Hay books today and stayed in the hospital with Annie !

SHe loves going through food mags just as much as i do, she's still on a feeding tube so she really can't wait to be able to eat again

DOnna Hay is my fav, she makes beautiful collages, which mostly include her family. Her ideas are simple & delicious i wanna try making this icecream biscuit sandwich :)

My neighbour works at a newsagent so she gave us like one yrs worth of issues for free..!!

I also LOVE the front covers, the colours & contrast ... so amazingly beautiful
