December '09!

So for those of you who aren't aware, i've been having a pretty hectic December '09 :)
granted, i've been working from 8:30am - 4:00pm Mon-Fri (urg), But i complain not, because with work comes moola $$$ cha-ching :)
On Friday the 4th of December, Cape Town hosted the draw for the FIFA World Cup, so my sister and i went with a couple of peeps and let me tell you it was HECTIC. Never been that close to so many people in my entire life, and thats saying something seeing as how i've been to a couple of Rock concerts. but yeah, it was all in the name of fun :)

Earlier this year, it was announced that The Killers were coming to South Africa, and i wanted to go, but i was kinda on the fence seeing as the tickets went up to like R500 and something bucks, AND not to mention the concert was to be held in Paarl of all freaking places.
But anyway, like a week before the concert, i decided to be a 'Yes girl', channeling Jim Carrey and what not, so i went ahead and bought a ticket, thinking i deserved some reward for working so hard at university whole year.
Like the day before i only fetched my ticketand organised lifts and foodstuffs etc. Can i just say, lack of time is my specialty. Apparently, inspiration and good decision making on my part arises when im pressed for time, ha go figure.
Anyway, so we end up arriving @ the venue @ like 12:30, very early seeing as the doors opened only @ 4:00pm, and the opening band (Zebra&Giraffe) would only go on @ 7:30pm :P
In the end, we ended up having a FANTASTIC time. They, along with Z&G, were such good performers man. Probably the best concert Cape Town, if not South Africa, has seen. I might be biased seeing as how my 4 friends and i happened to accidentally hang out with two of the Z&G members after the concert, which was just too cool! they invited us to come see them and The Dirty Skirts perform @ Wynberg Boys High School the next sat as part of the new Sunshine Saturdays concert series CT is hosting, which i ended up going to and having yet another fab weekend.

December 14 was my 20th birthday, ended up just hanging out with my sister & her friend, as well as 2 of my awesome friends Lubi and Tarha. They dragged me, kicking and screaming to go and watch Paranormal Activity with them. What a STUPID idea! im a seriously over-paranoid person, and now i can't sleep. so yeah, thanks guys!

December 16 is Reconciliation Day in SA, but it was also my cousin Saajidah's wedding day :) and she looked so beautiful, congrats to her. And to her new hubby Reza, welcome to the family :)

Next week my family and i are off to the gorgeous Sun City, havent been there since i was like 5. Lets see if its as cool as my then 5-year old brain remembers :)

I trust that you all are also enjoying your holidays and looking forward to the festivities. Do'nt go broke or develop liver cancer.  Have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and all that jazz.
Lets all send 2009 out with a bang and welcome in the New Year which promises real excitement for SA with the Football World Cup being held here.

Looking forward to all the future has to offer!

bye for now :)
