So I thought that I should get back to what happened at the Gold Coast. Today was the Friday, and we spent most of the day just hanging around the house or the pool waiting for more people to arrive. Tom, one of the sound guys from the show came which was awesome (We made good friends with lots of the production crew) and later on Corin. We also played some guitar hero and watched a number of episodes of the show and laughed at each other some more. Some people found certain episodes hard to watch. Episode 5 for me anyway...
That night Michelle, Hadassah (as well as her sister and cousin) came over for dinner. Hadassah did most of the cooking of the spaghetti. We then all got in a maxi cab and went out clubbing. Michelle knew all of the best clubbing places at Surfers Paradise. She also knew all of the bouncers so she got us into clubs for free as well as free drinks! Good work Michy :) At one place they had a modelling contest with swimwear, evening wear etc. It was quite interesting to see the different types of girls who enter these contests but I wont get into that. Michelle was one of the judges and I agreed with all of the girls who got through to the next round.
Being in a group of 10 people from the show did give us a lot of attention. We were stopped continuously on the street for photos and everyone was in love with Xenogen! There were people talking to him in a club at one point with more people lined up behind waiting for their turn. I did not mind that he got all the attention. I do like to hide away sometimes - its almost like a game to see if I can get away from it :) But we all had a great time dancing and chatting and just hanging out.
So that was the first night clubbing! Heaps of fun, quite a few tipsy people and laugher and stupidity. A word of advice: kebabs at 2am before a long cab ride home does not go well even if you have sobered up completely. Your stomach will not like it. I know from experience.

Gold Coast Day 1
So I have finally gotten around to tell you about the Gold Coast holiday.
Originally the plan was for me to fly from Canberra-Syndey at 7:30 and then Sydney-Gold Coast and 9:10 and meet Xen, Paul and Alan at the Gold Coast airport (they arrived about 30 min before me) and then we share a cab to Nathan's place. Due to Virgin not having enough staff on, my flight was delayed 1 hour. I arrived at about 9:15 and so I missed my connection flight by like 5 mins. Then had to wait 2 hours for the next flight (lucky they gave me $12 worth of meal vouchers for lunch). We touched down at Gold Coast airport and had to wait about 15 mins before we were allowed off the plane due to traffic on the run way. By now the others had left so I caught a shuttle bus to Nathans house. It was a long morning!
Nathans house is right near a hotel and we got free use of the pool :) So when I finally arrived, we all had a relaxing afternoon by the pool, which was more like an inland beach (salt water pool with sand surroundings). So at that stage it was Nathan, Xen, Alan, Paul, Kim and I and we lazed around chatting while we waited for Hadassah and Toby.
Nathans house is really huge and awesome!! Pool, putting green, TV room! Really cool, except for the weird artwork ;) And everyone uses Golf Buggies to get around the suburban area!
That afternoon we went and bought groceries for the week and had a barbecue dinner. It was more of a relaxing day because everyone was tired from the trip up. But it was so great to see everyone again - just like we were back in the house. There were no hard feelings about anything, but everyone kept on paying each other about such as 'it's your fault I did not get to do the billy cart challenge' and 'Jeremy can buy dinner because he is rich' 'that challenge was awesome, but wait I was not there. I wonder why that was'. It was hillarious, and all in good humour. At least I think it was?!?
