sad expectations

my grandfather has just moved on today. He passed away at around 14:30 Sydney time.

The funeral will be on the 25th, so I will be flying back to Kuching on Monday. And back to Sydney right after the funeral.

smashed...

...the window of my friend's car that is. With her waiting at traffic lights...and at only 7:30 at night. She got her handbag swiped. Redfern and its surrounding areas is really fucked up dodgy. Can't help but blame the inhabitants somewhat.

What do you say in this kind of situation? Poor girl was freaked out... and lost a lot of valuables too. Gucci handbag, LV wallet and dunno what else.

I feel somewhat guilty as well, since we just went for dinner and she dropped me home. It wouldn't have happened if we didn't go out. No reason at all for her to be in that area. The last time we went for dinner...she got a speeding ticket o_O Now I kinda feel like I'm a harbinger of bad luck... at least to her. Wonder if she is thinking of the same thing... Hmmmm. Can't really blame her i guess.

sucks man. This really hasn't been a good week. Guess theres not much chance of it being a good week when you start it off hearing news that your grandpa might not around for much longer. Been hospitalised since last Friday... and not really getting much better. I guess its a good thing that I went back Kuching for cny. At least I got to see him when he is still healthy...or reasonably so, considering his past ailments. I can't do much anyway... just call up and ask how he is now and then. My parents are over in Kuching at the moment... preparing for the worst case scenario *touch wood*

Hmmm. I was going to rant about how the work week has been pretty shitty as well. Having crap fuck up on me left, right and center. Pales in comparison to what I wrote about earlier. Bah...

easter long weekend

April is always nice in australia. lots of holidays. easter long weekend and Anzac day as well. Didn't really make use of the weekend though. Just stayed home and watched movies. Ken is crashing at our place before leaving for hong kong, so I've been leeching movies from his computer.

apart from that, there was a bbq lunch at tho's aunt's place. smoked fatty pork was the delight of the day. bloody awesome. although it probably destroyed all my gym work for the week o_O aihs...
Was thinking of heading down to the gym today. But feeling kinda lazy. it feels kind of late anyway. its already 1:30. Actually..thats plenty early even if the gym closes at 5 today, but stuff it..i'm just lazy :p

no news...kinda

Actually just been feeling lazy to blog. Kinda feels like I don't have much time past couple of days. Although I don't think I'm doing much. I want to post up some pics from Tho's birthday dinner... b ut the internet seems horrendously slow for some reason, so can't be bothered at the moment.

My monitor is still doing well, no dead or bright pixels so far. Some colours on the monitor are kinda off depending on my viewing angle, but thats expected from a budget range monitor. Its good enough for most purposes I guess. Its still a 22" widescreen. Playing WoW feels pretty awesome, and its easier for my to read my e-books now.

I've also shopped a lot lately, for my snow gear in particular. I think I mentioned my jacket already, but I got a nice pair of 686 Smarty pants too. Its worth $400... but I got it for $280. Last season gear obviously, but its a steal at that price.

I'm probably gonna buy snow boots tomorrow as well. I tried some on on Monday during lunch... but just going again tomorrow to try them on properly. Cuz I only put on one side on Monday. Both of the boots I'm interested in are $379... so it just depends which one fits better.

Can't wait for the snow to come....
