I worked on New Year's Night and Henna came over in the morning. So we decided to head up to New Castle. We left home at midnight and arrived at Central Station at 12.50am, but had to wait for the train to New Castle to leave the station at 1.45am. Heena nodded off to sleep before our trained moved and I was entertained for three hours watching NCIS Season 4 on my new portable dvd player. Who ever invented that is a life saver. The trip didn't hurt as bad this time. We arrived 5.30am in Telarah and poor Bec had to wake up and pick us up from the station. As soon as we got in I decided that I'll wake our cousin Ben up. I had missed the crew from New Castle heaps.
I walk in and jump on the bed and lifted Ben's arm up. He squints and takes a double look, realising that I was there and turns over mumbling; "I was dreaming about Guitar Heroes". And dozes back to sleep. Bec and I talked for a few hours, while we went through pictures from her birthday and of the girls, while catching up with family news. Boi had woken up from the recliner and headed straight to the garage to have his fix of Guitar Heroes. By 8am I decided to steal Boi's bed in the garage and catch up on sleep. Only this was short lived when Ben started sweeping the garage around 10am. I could hear that Ben had finished cleaning and the room was silent. I decided to open one eye slightly to see where he had gone. The last thing I needed was for him to play a prank on me. As I slightly opened my eyes, I caught Ben's little smirk just in time when he wrenched the garage door open flooding the dark garage with the early morning light. "I knew you were going to do that!" I said laughing. Ben can be sneeky at times and I regret now that I didn't jump on him and draw on his face with Bec's makeup that morning.
Our 24hours in New Castle was unplanned, but I'm sure Heena and Erin enjoyed themselves as we played Guitar Heroes for 24hours, played pool, rode Ben's Dirt Bike and cracked a few beers and spirits.
Just being all together - Sou, Boi, Bec, Ben, Heena, Erin and myself having a great laugh, rockin' on Guitar Heroes and even Heena stealing a win on the pool table that shocked us all. Especially when Ben's team had only the black ball to sink and Heena with her Yellow Cruisers and six balls behind, including the black - took the game and had the spectators jumping up at her unbelievable win. Even Uncle Voi's kids came down for a few hours - Eden, Wesley and Josh. And as usual Wes likes to play the smart alec to the older male cousins. Let's just say Wes ended up with a huge wet wedgy and a painful helicopter swing by the undies from Boi (lmao). We even witness Sou with his ten metre stack on the dirt bike and he even has a swollen ankle to prove it (lmao). But that is another blog to tell all together. (lol - sorry Sou, I had to tell).
I'll be sure to post up some pictures when I get a hold of our Aunty Heena...lol and give everyone our detail night chatting till 3am (4am for the boys) and getting up at 6.45am to catch the train to get Heena back to Sydney in time for her flight (lol).
