What the...?! Why can't my Explorer browser show my recently added entires?? Refreshing the page just won't help and if it hasn't been for Firefox, I'll won't be able to see those new entries on the blog. What the heck is going on? |
Playtime is here
My dear friend is over for 10 days of fun. Wait till she finds out what I had planned for her.
Seeing my unliveable room is already a good start for her day.
My totally and hopelessly chaotic room.

Next stop, the City!
|
I see bed.
|
I'm going to test bed.

Touch Down!
|
I usually pass this flower shop along Swanston Street whenever I decided to head down to the city. Really going to miss the beautiful colours.
|
The sun is setting are people are hurrying home.
|
Hanging around for the tram is never boring when you have a good friend as company.

Doing my own revision for the next day. The process was pretty quick considering that the manual only states the name of the function and not what each does.

2 more hours...

...till the taxi arrive for the airport to Alice Springs. I've decided not to sleep because of my poor track record of sleeping through all the beepings, tootings and even ringings of alarm clocks.
Great Ocean Road was GREAT. The tour group is the nicest bunch I'd ever the honour of travelling with. But irony decided to strike with rain following our little tour bus along the GOR. To think that it was bright and sunny on Thursday and Saturday instead.
Photos to be uploaded soon. |
Pack & Go
Wednesday, June 08, 2005
Packing up is a bitch. I finally found a company that provides the best excess baggage service (in my context, dirt cheap rates), but I have to find my own boxes. Not wanting to use second-hand boxes that either used to have supermarket products in them or was inside a recycling bin, I bought brand new ones instead. There are 7 standard packing cartons and a couple of little shoe boxes, but I have a nagging feeling it might not be enough. Plus there might not even be time.
My best friend will be in Melbourne on Thursday morning on vacation. Before that, I made bookings on tours we could join. First up is the Great Ocean Road on Friday. Bless her soul that she knew about it, because I desperately hoped that she didn't. Don't get me wrong, the coast line is beautiful on a clear day, but this is going to be my third trip there.
Nevertheless, the next tour is something that will more than make up for it and it is something that I've always wanted to see in my lifetime. The Ayers Rock - that piece of giant red rock in the middle of the Australian desert that symbolises Australia. And I'm finally going to see it up close at last! Can't contain my excitment as I count down to the day. The best part is, that it's a camping trip with the stars as our night lights. The tour starts in Alice Springs, in the Northern Territory state, so my friend and I will be spending the night at a hotel the night before the first day of tour. Total investment including flights packs a punch as nearly AUS 900, but if I'm doing this once, then heck, who cares about the look of horror on the faces of those people I told.
Then just now, I realised that if I'm going to make this trip worthwhile, my camera skill has to be up to par. And is my no frills digital camera really up to it? What's to point of taking scenic pictures of a national treasure only to have it looking like the ground developed a humongous pimple?
Now where's that manual... |
Don't ever look back

What is the greatest feeling in the world next to doing a long overdue number two in the toilet? It's submitting that last paper of the entire semester that's what. Now I can finally get my life back on track.
First up. Group exercise. It's been too long... |
