‘They say how you spend your New Years is how you’ll spend the rest of your year’

As I stumbled out of Josè’s apartment scrambling to find my things and holding back a spew at the same time, I hoped that wouldn’t be the case. My phone was dead, my feet were sore and I had no idea what the time was or where the hotel that I was meeting Lisa and the gang.

Three hours and an Internet cafe later, I was sitting out the front of the Quest on Chapel waiting for my friends and the night to begin. I couldn’t  entertain the idea of alcohol without dry reaching.

The hair of the dog was looking like the only cure at this stage so whilst we waited for Lisa to finish work we ate and drank then made a quick detour to the bottle shop before heading back to our room.

Enter Lisa Ho. For those who’ve had the pleasure, you’d be aware that the party really gets going upon this elegant lady’s arrival!
The beers and sparkling were flowing to excess. Zag and a couple of old highschool mates joined us and whilst I’d like to say we spent the rest of the night partying in the hotel room without a hiccup, what good new years eve spent in a hotel room doesn’t involve a projectile vomit off the balcony?

Lisa was first to the scene cleaning the poor chap up and Shaneo and Zag took on the responsibility of popping Cam into the taxi, his night was definitely over. After watching the fireworks we made a quick excursion down Chapel street to try our luck at a few clubs, unsuccessfully.
After a quick detour at a wine bar where we polished off two bottles of Pinot, we retreated back to the hotel room to wind down.

It’s the simple things that make a good new years and if I get to spend the rest of the year spending time with my amazing friends then that’s quite alright with me. Here’s my new years resolution; blogging. Its been a while so I might be off to a bumpy start, but its a start none the less.

Happy 2013.
