  1. My Weekend
    I had a wonderful weekend.

    We went to bed early on Friday night because we were going to go shopping on Saturday early morning before they got busy. However, it was a bit cold in the early morning, we still enjoyed going out. When we finished shopping we went to Sunnybank to have breakfast in a Chinese restaurant. It was delicious and warm so we enjoyed it a lot. .We also bought some Chinese vegetable and herbs to make dinner at night.

    On Sunday, I practiced driving with my husband for a few hours and it made me tired because I was very focus on the road. As we got home I decided to rest and relax a bit so I just stayed home in the afternoon and watched TV. We watched a very scary movie called Scream. It was really horrible. I told my husband that I would never watch this kind of movies again because I like romantic and comedy movies.

    We always enjoy our weekends together and I am looking forward to our next weekend.

    Around 6.30 pm we drove back home and I did a bit of housework such as vacuuming the house and cleaning the dishes. Pawel also helped me with the housework. By the time we finished our cleaning, our guests arrived, just on time. First we welcomed them by having a drink and it company went on until late.

  3. My Weekend

    I had a wonderful weekend.

    Started from Friday my partner and I had a free entry to watch a football game at Suncorp Stadium so we decided to get there with our friends. We were so excited about this because it wasn’t only my first time watching a live game but also we had a ticket for the front row.

    After that we went to had dinner at Seta restaurant. It was such a delicious and tasty food. Soon after finishing our dinner we went back home. Since I had a big day I went to bed early however my partner decided to watch a movie.

    Saturday was relaxed and quite for us but On Saturday night we had a cocktail party at my friend’s house in the Valley. Everyone had to dress up formally because we were invited to an American friend for the first time. There was a magic show which was really fantastic and entertaining. The magician amused us for about half an hour.

    When show finished everyone clapped. We were there chatting our old friends until late.

    Next day we just stayed home, because we had a hang over from last night so we had a chance to clean our house and relax a bit to get ready for a new week.

    It was a beautiful weekend and I can not wait to have the next one.

  4. My Last Holiday

    I have had a Beautiful holiday last summer.

    My husband and I went tp the Philippines for holiday. We arrived at the Brisbane Airport at 8 am then we left Brisbane and our flight took us around 9 hours.

    We arrived at the Philippines Airport at 9:00 pm I didn’t expect what I saw at the airport because there were lots of changes happened since I left my country.

    There was a big tree that was decorated with flashing red and blue colour lights and many more. At the front there was a beautiful big fountain with running water.

    We arrived home early in the morning. We are very tired so we had to have a rest. Next day my husband and I we had to visit our relatives who live near the city. We had a good chat with them while my other relatives were preparing food.

    A week later my husband, my children and I all went to Baguio, one of the most popular tourist spots in the country. It was very beautiful place and cool. The food in the restaurant was at reasonable price and of course delicious. There was a horse there and everyone could ride for free.

    After visiting all places, friends and relatives we decided to get back to Brisbane. Our flight was tiring so when we got home we went to bed straight away.

    We had a wonderful journey.

  5. My Weekend
    I had a good weekend. On Saturday I went to South Bank with my two children and we walked along the magnificent riverside and we looked at picturesque views of Brisbane city. We had a wonderful time to see such a lovely place. As we were walking along the parkland, we saw many people who were walking, swimming and cycling.

    In the afternoon that day, we had a lunch together and relax at the parkland around one hour. After then we were going to swimming .My two children were interested swimming, because they hadn’t been swimming in the pool. I was waiting for them until they were finished swimming.
    We head back home at 7:30 pm, because we missed our bus. Everybody was stuff and felt sleepy. On Sunday morning I had to clean my home and washed my cloths. We went to church after our breakfast.

    It was a fantastic on my weekend. Next time I’m going to visit again, because my two children had interested that parkland beach.

  6. My Last Weekend

    I had an active weekend. It was funny and fantastic.

    Last Weekend when I woke up I was saying to myself, "Um what shall I do this weekend?" So I asked my boyfriend Leo to see what is he going to do?

    After having an ordinary breakfast at our place, we had to go back to Leo’s mum’s place to get his sunglasses which he left there last week. When Leo was driving to his mum’s place, he asked me, "Do you want to stay a little bit longer in mum's house?" and I replied, "Yes that is a good idea, because if we just take the sunglasses and leave, she might become upset.”

    When we got there we had drink together. His family are really friendly, especially his grandmother who has a very good relationship with me. I love her.

    As we were close to BUNNINGS we decided to by some plants for our garden. We arrived at BUNNINGS at around 2:00pm and we found most beautiful cherry trees there. We were both very happy to find such a good tree so we bought a beautiful cherry tree with sand and compost soil for it.

    When we back home, it was almost 4 o’clock so we rushed to make the tree pot, because it’s getting dark very quickly in winter.

    Leo mixed sand with compost soil and put it in the pot with cherry tree and most important thing was to water it when it was planted. When we finished making the pot, we water it. It was fabulous to see it’s done. I was so excited however I knew that Leo took the big part.

    Finally at about 5:30 pm we managed to finish it. I felt great to have a cherry tree in our garden. We went to bed early that night because we had a big day.

    Sunday also was relaxed and quiet and I just practiced some English and I did my homework to avid paying 50C fine.

  7. MY WEEKEND

    I had a good but busy weekend.
    On Friday evening Pat, Janet, Joshua and I went to play pool in bar in the city.
    After that we passed by a pub which in a rock music band was playing. The music was very lively so we enjoyed our good old fashion rock 'n' roll dance.

    On Saturday we woke up feeling a bit hangover because we had too much drinks.
    Apart of that, we had to put ourselves together and go to Pat's grandfather lunch party which couldn’t be missed. The lunch party was held at a Chinese restaurant.

    When we arrived to the Chinese restaurant everybody was already there so we took our seat and started eating. The food was delicious I personally appreciated it.

    Patrick's grandfather was 87 years old and he just turned into 88 because of that occasion all family gathered there including his sons and daughters and other relatives.

    After lunch we all went to ‘cuncun’-means grandfather in Chinese- house for a tea and another birthday cake.

    It was a very special day and I think everybody had a lovely moment to remember in the future.

    Finally, on Sunday we decided to rent a movie from the video shop and stayed home relaxing and spending time together.

    I had a fantastic weekend! I had a lot of fun with my lovely family and friends.

  8. My Weekend

    My last weekend was full of surprises and good news.

    On Sunday morning I had a call from a friend of mine asking me to visit them. The reason she asked us to visit them was that she cooked a special Iranian soup called “Ash”. That soup is my favourite soup.

    When we got there, she had a big surprise for us. Because I am pregnant she had bought me lots of baby cloths which looked very cute and lovely.

    We chatted and had coffee and lunch together. In the evening, while I was talking to my husband my friend gave me another surprise. She had asked my parents to log in to yahoo messenger to have a online chat with us.

    When I saw my parents’ images on the screen, I just started crying and I showed them the baby cloths as well.

    We left their house at about midnight and by the time we went to bed I was so excited. That’s why I couldn’t go to sleep that night.

    Sunday was relaxing and quiet. I just did my housework and cooked lunch. In the afternoon we watched an interesting Iranian movie and then we watched T.V.

    I had a very good weekend because I had my favourite soup and I chatted with my parents.

  11. So delay but I am feel good now:

    My weekwend!

    Really nothing important passed in my last weekend, because I was sick, I have had flu and cough, my family realized that the climate is totally different here and my body need to adjust it.

    I have drunk natural medicines and my recovery has been slow but better because the antibiotics give me an upset stomach.

    Indians in my country use the ginger, allspice, eucalyptus, cinnamon in boiling water every night for cough cure, and is effective. For the flu every night I drank vinegar with mineral water and honey is good to sleep well in addition during the day I drank honey with lemon like cough syrup.

    Definitely, I learnt many things on this weekend, now I know more about my body and when I begin to sneezing is a sign that my body needs to warm.

    I wanted to share this medicines with you because I think that it's important for our healthy and this could help you in case.

    On Saturday morning first we went shopping at the Farmer Markets. I bought some vegetable and organic fruit. Then around the lunchtime we went to Gold Coast for a party because my friend was celebrating her 60th birthday.

    Sunday was quiet and relaxed. I just pottering around the house, I did some gardening and I cleaned our garage. Then in the afternoon I practised my English grammar for Monday, because I didn't want to pay 50 cents fine. After that I cooked some nice bananas muffins which were very yummy.

  14. My sleeplessness weekend

    Ask me why I say so?

    Our friend Dianel who came from Sydney visited us on Saturday. He came here to check how the business is in Brisbane. He will start a coffee shop career in Sydney, to make a long story short, he came here to shop around.

    We picked him up from the airport and went to 'Bunder Cafe' our first stop. The Cap was nice and I loved the hot chocolate there. Having a short rest, then we went to the second stop 'One drop cafe'. The Cap was also nice there, smooth and the presentation of the shop was awesome. And the third stop was my favourite 'Cup Coffee'. The Cap was amazing, the body, the flavour, the cream, everything was unbelievable. Therefore we all got the second cups.

    Daniel bought lots of roasted beans from every shop, because he needed to try all the blend beans between them and found one that he love most. So after we got home, we started to try every bean. However we made hundred cups of coffee, still we couldn’t pick the best.

    Finally we gave up and it was almost 4am in the morning. Due to too much coffee, no one could sleep. So we decided to watch movie till the noon.

    We sent Daniel back to the airport and finally finished the sleeplessness crazy weekend.

  15. My last weekend

    I had a sort of happy and unhappy weekend.

    Last weekend, I stayed home in Japan becuse I was in Japan for holiday.

    I had a relaxed time on Saturday because in the morning I watched a Korean dorama movie which was very interesting and it my favourite now.

    At night I went to a Korean restaurant with my parents for dinner and we had a very delicious meat and vegetables ,however, it was very spicy and hot. We had a really wonderful time there together.

    Later that night we had some sad news. My grandmather's doctor told us that my grandmather's blood test was too bad so we felt sad. I hope, my grandmather gets better soon.

    On Sunday, I was very busy becouse I packed up my suitcase which was full of Japanese souvenir, Japanese food and so on so it became very heavy but I carried them any way.

    So at the end of that weekend I left Japan and I came back to Australia. I was not only a good weekend but also a very good trip as well.

  17. My Last Weekend

    My partner and I went to Wat Thaiputtharam on Sunday morning last week at around 10:00am by car.

    Once we got there at the Thai Temple,we saw some children who were playing in the park near the temple. We went to the main hall which were decoratted nicely in Thai style but nobody was there so we went back to the place that we could make merrit.The merit hall was crowded and people were doing different activities such as meditation, learning English or Thai, music and Thai dance.

    We offered some food and fruit to the monks at the temple after we make the basket ready because we had different things as gifts and we wrapped them.

    Then we set up a table to have lunch together with some other people. We had different types of food and dessert. They were all very dilicious and sweet.

    After that my partner went to Thai class and I joint the Thai musical band because I like playing music specially the instrument called " Jakar".

    After finishing our lessons we both went back home and at night we went to an Indian restaurant to have dinner.

    I had a very nice weekend.

    Last Friday night, my husband and I went to an Indian restaurant for dinner and the food was really delicious. Both of us enjoyed the meal however, it was a little bit hot for me. My husband likes hot and spicy food but I don't because it upsets my stomach.

    After that, we went shopping to buy some meat that we needed for the barbecue of the next day because we had some visitors.

    Early morning on Saturday, I woke up early because I needed to prepared some food for BBQ. While I was doing that, my husband installed the BBQ stove as well. Later, our visitors arrived and since my husband was good at cooking so he cooked for all of us!The meat was so nice, that's why we couldn't stop eating!Everyone enjoyed it. While we were having BBQ,we chatted and played games.We all had fun.

    On Sunday,I stayed at home as usual.I did a bit potering and watched TV in the morning.

    In the afternoon, I talked with my parents about my weekdays by skype. I went to bed early at night to get ready for another week.

  20. My Weekend

    I had a very exciting weekend and also I had a new experience in Australia. My son was invited to his friend's birthday party and I had already sent his mum a reply to their RSVP last week.

    I decided to ask my husband to come with us since I wasn't used to suburb and its streets. That morning, after having breakfast we caught a train at Central Station and went to Windsor Station which the party was held and it was very close to station so we didn't have to walk to far. When we arrived at the party place other people were arrived before us and it was so crowded.

    It was an indoor party but it had many different games to play. It also had a snack bar. We met other parents and we talked about their kids. While we were there at the birthday party, my husband took some pictures.

    It wasn't only my son who enjoyed the party but we also enjoyed it a lot. On the way back home, the host gave my son a bag full of lollies and chocolate. It was a very nice day for me to go to an Australian party for the first time.
