it's Friday night!!  and i'm going to sleep soon  :p 

Didn't do anything today, not even the usual Friday dinner/movie with Nic & Thos. I OTed at work until about 6.30 and got home close to 8pm  :p  Too tired to go out after that, and had a pretty tiring day too. The usual Friday crap at work. And I have to go in to work tomorrow as well!!! Cuz haven't finished off the work. I spent half my afternoon on the road because I needed to drive down to Silverwater to get some parts for some crap that broke down in the factory. Sheeeshh.

Was spose to go clubbing with Vinh tonight though. Well, it was supposed to be either tonight or tomorrow. But he's dead broke, and flat out at work as well. Sooo, don't think we'll be doing anything this weekend.

What else can I say? I'm gonna be registering for my kendo classes tomorrow. Maybe I can get my gi & hakama as well. Oh yeahh!!!  I really should use this blog for more interesting stuff rather than my day. I can write about computer stuff... animes... games... kendo?? Can't be stuffed now anyway, I'll do it when I feel like it  :p

can't...keep....eyes open...

must...still.blog.

long day at work... but had a barbey at one of the draftee's house.
a farewell party for one of the exchange engineers from Msia.

my fav food for the night: philly cheese topped with sweet chilli sauce

its a damn good dip. i've discovered 'a taste of heaven'  :)
that's their actual slogan i think. 

I wanted to put a picture, but blogger doesn't let me store pics. sux

*yawn*  kinda tired now, but wanted to use the com b4 I hit the sack.

I went to check out the Kumdo Do Jang (Kumdo = Korean Kendo) in Burwood tonight.
It was pretty nice to watch the people, kinda smelly though sometimes   o_O
Rekindling an old flame. I reckon I'll start next month, which will be the next Thursday.
It's not really cheap though. $50 membership, $70 monthly, $100 for the gi & hakama (uniform), and $50 for the shinai (which I already have)

It makes me kinda regret that I didn't follow it up when I was in Melbourne...would have been
soooo much cheaper. I think it was $5 a lesson or something like that. I want to be a student again  :'(

My expenses in Aussie are gonna shoot up. I really need to start looking for a new job. Hmmm. Anyone know something for a Software Engineering graduate ??  :)

hmmm, I know I wanted to write something else, but I forgot. Was browsing the net while writing this post. Ah well. Off to bed.
right... what am I suppose to post now? I'm suppose to go off to work 1/2 hour ago, but decided to take the later train, so I have an extra 1/2 horu to kill at home.

let's write about sunday. Emmm, Jamie didn't join us that day cuz she went out with another fren. She also took an earlier flight back to Melb, compared with Carol & Greg. So it was just the 3 of us the whole day. We originally intended to go Fish Market..and then head off to the Rocks. But in the end, we spent the whole day at the Rocks, cuz Fish Market was kinda like an optional thing.

The Rocks were really nice. Quaint old buildings and stuff. Very 'arty farty'. I've been there before, but that was couple years back. The only times I've been there when living here is when we (me+frens) go eat pancakes (absolutely yummy!!)

Walked around the arts & craft market. Carol bought a T Puzzle!! It's really cool, just a couple of cut up timber blocks and you can have quite a bit of fun with it. We spent a fair bit of our laming time working out the shapes you can make with it. I'm thinking of buying one as well!! Have to wait till next month though... blew my budget already.

What else?? Oh yeah!!! Carol burnt my tongue off as well!! There was this stand at the market, selling chilli. Not those normal chillies you get at restaurants... but REALLLLY HOT ones with names like "Dragon's Bloody" and "Turbo Supercharge". And it's as sick as it sounds! I can't take spicy stuff, so I didn't bother trying. I was standing behind Carol when she tried it out... she took a small bite, turned around...and popped the whole thing in my mouth (fyi, the chillies are a dip). Burnt my damn tongue off... and killed my taste buds for the better part of the day. Grrrr!!!

Woooops! Better go, almost time for my train.

wow..  it's been really long since I blogged here.  not that I blog frequently anway.
the last post I made in xanga was back in april  o_O

but i felt like picking this up again...and didn't really want to use xanga (several reasons) but anywayyy..i'm back here again

i decided to write something today cuz i just had a blast of a weekend, so i might as well write
something b4 i forget it all  :p  Carol and a couple of her frens (Jamie & Greg) came up from Melbourne and crashed at my place. Its the first time I met her frens, but they were really cool ppl and fun to hang with even though I don't know them.

They arrived late Friday night...and the girls took ages to get ready to go clubbing, which resulted in Nicholas waiting an hour plus for us to get into the City. I was thinking of bringing them to the strip of bars along the George St/Chinatown area, but we ended up going Tank instead. Cool place! Great music (house?) ! And had a blast...my wallet felt really empty after that though.  :'(

this might end up being a really long post... I still want to write up on saturday and today...and also my past 2 weeks actually. Roy (ex housemate) came up from Melb with Ayako as well. Met up with them the previous Friday and we hit a couple of bars as well. It's great catching up with him as well... the bugger hardly ever comes and chat online.

Until next post....
