Day Seven – Wednesday, Working on The Farm, going to The Bay
It is my first farm job ever and I am working with Bo. Only one of the trio can work at a time and since I don’t get centrelink, I am forced to do it. Let me tell you people who are virgins to farm work, do not do it. My back is crooked and my fingers feel like it will split open and scream. Working on the grape farms sucks big balls. A couple of hours into the day and I get called up by the boys to ask me if I wanted to go to Kangaroo Island. WTF? Are you serious? Why would I wanna waste my money going to a shitter version of Adelaide? I come home after the grueling 10 hours of farm work to find out that those bastards are actually going to go Kanga Island without me.

We find out that they are hanging out at the bay with Ora’s family and the Sydney visitors who somehow convinced Andy and Dom to go to Kanga Island with them. So Bo and I decide to hit the beach after a long days work. We call up one of Bo’s friends to come along and she also happens to have exactly the same name as Ora.

The Bay is a pretty nice beach compared to Melbourne’s shit whole beaches. The Bay can be compared to St Kilda beach if you want to know what its like but apparently The Bay is the worst beach in Adelaide so yeah.

After taking a quick dip in the water we head home.

Day Eight – Thursday, The Hollywood Sign, Black Cat *DRAG*
I am sorry but I seriously can not remember what happened during this day. The only thing I remember was that Andy and Bo had work the next day and that Dom and I couldn’t stay up because we were too loud so we decided to go out night exploring. The first thing on our minds as we were outside was to climb that Hollywood sign in front of Bo’s house. We found a hole on one of the side of the fences and we started climbing the sign. It wasn’t so bad until like halfway up there was a problem with getting to the first platform. We found away around that shortly after though and we were up on the Hollywood sign. We had our manly conversation up there for like 3-4 hours until we decided to go home.

Getting down was pretty poofy and all but we managed to make it down safe. When we got back home we found that we have been locked out. During our time up in the Hollywood sign someone had come home and locked us out. We couldn’t wake Andy and Bo up because they had work and they would get angry at us, so we decided to wait until they woke up for work which was like at 4.30 and we had to wait another hour and a half.

After 5 mins of waiting we just left back for the plaza just to fuck around in the car park. While exploring the perimeter of the plaza we were confronted by a mysterious black cat, which soon became our temporary friend. We sat around patting the cat and playing around and decided to go find some food for the cat. So we scavenged some food out of bins and all to feed this cat that wouldn’t even eat the food we found it so we just decided that was it then. We soon grew tired of Blacky and decided to return home. When we arrived back home they were finally awake and we could now have our rest.

Day Four – Sunday, NYE Party at Ora’s
Waking up and it was NYE, time to party. Since Adelaide weather is not as random as Melbourne’s weather we were stuck we slowly inclining weather in the mid 30’s. Good time to spend in the pool. Slowly all the guests started to show up and the party was getting started. Dom and I decided to start up the Spa for our own personal use, but we did not know that it would take so long to set up. So for a couple of hours we were cleaning and setting up the spa for later while everyone else was enjoying themselves.

During the late hours of the night and everyone is enjoying their lamb and so on. The spa is ready to be used and everyone is enjoying their games of eight-ball, poker or just chatting. Dom and I have a nice time relaxing in the spa dreaming of hot chicks *just kidding*, when all of a sudden of the damn kids come jumping into the spa with us. After a while I decide its time to let Dom go pimp some of the girls on his own in the spa.

Late night and the time flies. No one even knew it was past midnight so we all yelled out “Happy New Year” about 5 mins late. As all the kids are sleeping and that we take out the games so the adults can play. Wii sports were fun for them but even more surprising is that they were into singstar as well. We saw some of the funniest things from these guys trying to sing but the funniest had to go to the white guy, Matt, trying to sing.

It’s around 4 when Andy and I decide to go to sleep and Dom goes to join the fellas in the spa and pool. Ah yes, Vincent I got your damn late New Years sms when I was trying to sleep.

Day Five – Monday, Chilling at Ora’s
The next day everyone woke up early and seemed to be having fun. People were in the pool, watching all access Foxtel, playing snooker… pretty much just like the day before. Not much to say but yeah we pretty much did this for the whole day just chilling and relaxing with the boys. We went home after dark to rest and change up.

Day Six – Tuesday, Fishing with Ora
Today we felt like going out shopping or something at one of the many plazas here they have in Adelaide. On the way to going to Titipee Plaza (whatever is called), Ora calls us up to see if we wanted to go fishing and since I love to fish I wanted to go. Dom and I decides to go fishing and Andy goes shopping. We drive off to Port Adelaide, and since Ora is a gangster driver we are there fairly quick. We went fishing under a road bridge with a clear sign saying “no fishing allowed” but since we are with gangsters no rules apply to us. We met some of Ora’s friends that were already there fishing and they made it seem like it was easy to catch fish so me and Dom give it a noob try and we just looked so nub in front of the guys. After a while spending some time catching seaweed we move across to a different area. And still catching seaweed we move again. We do this for a couple of hours and we finally just give up. The fish up in Adelaide are to smart for us. I guess the highlight of that day was seeing the dolphins swim by but the rest of the day was like poofy. For those of you who know that Dom’s really into his jean he got muscle on his jeans and it reeks.
