Beautiful One Day, Perfect The Next

How good is Cairns??? Slipping away from the bustle and problems of Sydney, to soak up the 28° rayz on the beach, the four days up in the great Barrier Reef was tres cool. Again, the Top Ten:

1. The scuba diving was sensational. Only my first dive, but enough to want to try again. And yes, I'm a heavy breather!
2. The landscape picture galleries. A new Great Barrier Reef picture hangs proudly on my wall.
3. Spending some quality time with my sis and my cousin from Canada.
4. My awesome tan from the sunny days :)
5. Kayaking around Green Island. Always good fun, and got to see some dolphins and whales
6. The amount of vegging out that I did up there!
7. The Lakes Resort. Very spacious accomodation, we should all go up there as a group one day.
8. The number of basketball players (chicks from Arizona State, and guys from some other uni) that I saw....they're huge!
9. Sitting next to Natalie Portman on our diving trip
10. Yes, sitting next to Natalie Portman on our diving trip! And for you, Des, seeing her in a bikini hehe - here you go KC (just for you!) courtesy of natalieempire.com - awww yeah!

Damn! twelve cheap calls already:

So did you put the moves on :)

Not even close! I was "respecting her privacy", or rather, I was a wussy boy! Throughout the whole time, I still wasn't quite sure if it was her or not. But it was confirmed late in the day with a signing of the name sheets.
My tan is still with me! woohoo!

I swearz you shoulda taken pics - I think I could've invaded her privacy for a few minutes or given her the opening to chat me up ;p I can't believe you were so close - ahhhhh! I may just have to post a pic to compensate

I'm getting one, one day! It's a bit weird talking openly about what we write on MSN!

JookBoy - 03 September '03 - 15:07

It's Boges here peoples...read the site, liking the entries. Some hella funny stories too...

You didn't make a move on Natalie Portman and she was sitting right next to you?????????????
Dude, talk about missing an opportunity of a lifetime. The worst that could happen is that she would slap you... oh well, its not like you had much of a chance anyway rite? But I guess if I was in said situation I would have made a fool of myself, making some sort of dodgy lightsaber call that would get me kicked off the boat.

i have to agree, that was a huge missed opportunity. potential for cheap ass calls aplenty! perfect timing to mention ur penchant for girls in backless outfits. Worked for anakin.

*shakes head* I was respecting her privacy!!!

But there is a tinge of regret. I was just over-awed....anyone seen that Star Wars Kid video? Funny stuff!
