Late Christmas summary

Yes it's 2015 but I was too busy over the festive period to blog so here's a late recap of my Christmas festivities:

Hijinks @ Sydney Aquarium

From the makers of Jurassic Lounge, comes the aquatic version of an 80s-themed good night out. Did all the standard aquarium stuff like admire fish and sharks and dugongs and also played a giant game of Snakes and Ladders (I lost), giant Connect 4 (I paired up with a stranger and won), vintage Mortal Kombat (I lost) and decorated my snap band (remember those??) with pink polka dots and rainbow spots (clearly mine is prettier). Also, I beat a room full of people at Just Dance 5 but it was Wii so my strategy of focussing on what the Wiimote-holding hand is doing at the expense of my legs/head/everything else meant that I won even if my dancing was terrible LOL.

My inner tightass is still a bit disappointed though that we didn't get our complimentary beer/cocktail, contrary to what our ticket said.  

Cirque du Soleil: Totem

My first Cirque du Soleil show and I loved it. The circus acts (with a bit of comedy thrown in) were ridiculously awe-inspiring. My favourite act was a group of unicyclists who caught bowls and balanced them on their head without using their arms. Unfortunately, one of them missed once but it was still an amazing act. Parking was also pretty cheap at $6 for 2-3 hours so overall it was a pretty great afternoon (even if we only got there with 2-3 minutes to spare oops).
