That's what I was hinting at - I was about to download the same post. Prahran is just down the road from South Yarra. It does also appear that she is renting as well.

so cutting to the chase she is renting down the road from Drew. But won't catch up with him at all.

BEN FROM BRISBANE TO VISIT OZ NIGHT MARKETS
The OZ Night Markets which opened in April this year have been growing each week with a variety of food stalls, crafts stalls and with a increasing amount of people returning and with more each week discovering a unique market on every Saturday night that is undercover at Booval Fair Shopping Centre in Brisbane Rd Ipswich.

Next Saturday 21st June, the Manager Edmond Wong has invited “Ben Zabel”, who last year was one of the most popular housemates in the Big Brother House. His popularity has increased due to the fact that he now appears each week on channel nine “Mornings” with Sonia Kruger, and David Campbell, as well as BI05 radio in Brisbane.
He has grown an a amazing fan base, and in speaking with Ben this week he is looking forward to meeting everyone at the OZ Night Markets. The Markets are all about offering the visitors a experience in food that is from all parts of the world, and is a great family outing and carters for the kids to come and play, while others explore the shopping to get last minute gifts that are arts and crafty. With the highlight of Ben coming this is a great way to come and meet Ben on stage where we will be chatting on some fun questions and where you can get a photo with him or have something you might like to bring with you to get signed by BEN. Markets open at 5.30pm with Stage appearance commencing at 7.00pm to after 8.0pm.

In the meantime we asked a few questions to Ben, and we ask more on the night as to how things are in his ever changing world of now being a celebrity figure.

BEN ZABEL QA

1. With almost a year gone now from doing Big Brother apart from Tim who else do you stay in contact with from the house?
No. Of the 20 other people from the house, I was the only one from Brisbane. Which makes catching up difficult.


2. What is the best advice you can give for anyone that wants to look at being part of a reality show like BB?
Find what makes you ‘different’ and don’t be afraid to show it.


3. Being a national celebrity figure do you at times wish you could turn back the clock on occasions or do you love what you do and if you could changes things what would they be?

When it’s a Sunday morning and I’m popping down to the shops, unshaven and people chat and take selfies. Then, and only then, do I wish I could turn the clock back! However everyone is so complimentary and kind wherever I go.

4. You are known for your taste in appreciating old things and adore Bert Newton and Patty and other singers, has anyone tried to change that in making you look at other tastes or do you want to stay in the norm.

I’ve had a few people in the ‘industry’ suggest I try and learn more about the 21st Century, listen to FM radio and read some gossip magazines but I’m just not interested. I just like what I like!

5. What are 5 things you love to do?
Sleep, wear my PJ’s all day, watch TV/DVD’s, go for a walk along the Brisbane River and have a nice cup of tea!

6. What are you favourite places in the world to go to that you have visited?

I’m yet to really travel. If I’d won, I would have obviously gone to Graceland. I’d like to go to Egypt, the UK and Italy. Anything that has ‘history’ I’m a nerd like that…

7. If you were given a wish to be granted what would you wish for?
Health and happiness. Simple as that.


8. What is your favourite Food?

I’m vegetarian, so I find Mexican and Indian food very compatible for me.

9. What is your favourite Film of all time?
Too hard! However I can watch ‘Vertigo’ and ‘The Blues Brothers’ over and over and they’re quite different films!


10 What are 5 things you hate to do?
Cooking, ironing, driving, grocery shopping and exercise.

Day 2 of the @themuliabali Instameet. Read about how I nearly ate the resort out of food... http://youngbloodtravel.tumblr.com/post/89143691639/the-mulia-bali-instameet-day-2-day-2-at-the… #muliainstameet

The Mulia Bali Instameet - Day 2

Day 2 at The Mulia Resort, Bali was kicked off with a breakfast to end all breakfasts.

Picking off the a la carte menu (which also resulted in me choosing a baby chocolate donut from the patisserie trolley) we were delighted with everything from salmon and egg white omelets to mixed berries and cream for the vegan Miann.

Once again thanking the ‘relaxed fit’ of beach attire, we vowed to never eat again.

Around mid-morning we were given a proper tour of the resort via golf buggies. The grounds are really quite beautiful- bright green and luscious with speckles of pink bougainvillea and bright white orchids.

We were taken past the outdoor yoga center (we’ll be seeing YOU tomorrow!) and both of the available wedding chapels before heading up to check out the different villas- all perfectly set up with their own pools, butler and golf buggy to get you around.

By now we were done with all the teasing of the aqua pools and felt it was about time we hopped into one!

I popped into my Triangl leopard print bikini and headed down to the main pool which is right on the beach and features a swim-up pool bar. It took the rest of the girls and I maybe 1 and a half minutes to order coconuts (with a alcoholic twist of course) and before long we were selfie-ing it up in the pool, working on our angles, perfecting flat lays and trying really, really hard not to get our iPhones wet.

This was probably the first time we’d all been able to sit around and chat about our lives and our careers- we all agreed it was refreshing being around like-minded people who understood the importance of a good filter and appropriate hashtag and then laughed at how ridiculous we all sounded.

Lunchtime was late due to our enormous breakfast and whilst the others ordered healthy tuna salads and juices, I stayed on the cocktails and grabbed a burger.

A few more hours in the sun, a quick shower and change back in our suites and before we knew it- we were eating again. (Who said eating is cheating?)

Tonight’s dinner was at the brand spanking new Table8, where we would be treated with a delicious Chinese buffet. The prawn dumplings and duck were my favourite, as was the amazing performance by a man known only as “The Tea Man” who gave us quite a show that combined martial arts with the art of tea pouring.

After our early night the night before, we decided to keep the party going by checking out the resort’s night club, ZJ’s Bar & Lounge.

We had been warned it was usually best to check out on a Friday or Saturday night so weren’t too surprised to discover we were the main event (it was a Tuesday) however after making Lindy get behind the decks and dancing up a storm- we bowled out of there a few hours later feeling like it had been a success. (Also a little tipsy…)

Yoga first thing the next day would be a real treat
