BEST 2005 MOMENTS
1. Returning home to New York
As soon as I landed in NY, I went straight to my friends, Rob & Tiongs apartment in the East Village. I could direct the cab driver exactly where to go. Everything looked the same. After a year away from home nothing had changed and I still remembered exactly where my favourite Chinese restaurant in Chinatown was, my favourite store in Soho and the correct subway exits to take. How awesome to return to the West Village to live and have one of my best friends from Perth live with me for a month.
2.Meeting new friends
Bonding with my New York Jewish men - Katzy & Bornstein.
Meeting uber talented stylish net friend – Miss. Tiff
Joining a new group of 20+ friends later in the year
Meeting my best uni girl friend – Miss. Andrea
3.Winning Best Ad Campaign Pitcher
Kicking boys asses and working hard and being rewarded with my first job in an advertising agency. My competitiveness and strategic thinking and constant stressing paid off.
4.Hide & Seek in Times Square
During New York fashion week, my colleagues and friends and I were invited to a few fashion shows as part of work. We started off the night playing a game of hide and seek in Times Square, running around and losing each other in the sea of lights. Following the game, we attended the fashion shows but missed out on the front row goodie bags with Dior glasses, etc…
5.Date with Doves
I scored free tickets, backstage and VIP passes for the Doves gig in Perth from their cousins. My date and I had a VIP viewing section to watch their show, and at the end of the night the band manager yelled at Metropolis Security who wouldn’t let us backstage. After the show we drank beer with the lads till the wee hours of the morning talking about how Velvet Underground was the best band on earth.

Hey hope you had a good one too! Hope Nuds getaway was fun.
Don’t know how I could’ve survived those boys without you! Actually.. I probably would’ve survived. Those boys however, would NOT have!
Seriously Andrea, how could you not make a point in one of my best moments
