I arrived here in Brisbane on Sunday, and only last night, did i start to vaguely enjoy myself. It was the heat that was getting to me, 36 C, i don't think I was built for these temperatures. There were some other things I couldn't stop bitching about, some of which i won't elaborate on my blog. Queenslanders are a weird bunch, I say its the heat, must have short-circuited something up there.

I'm so thankful my room has air-con, the bed's kinda short though and the T.V. not strategically positioned, but overall, its liveable.

I'm suppose to be working for these two weeks, I don't think I've chalked up 8 hrs worth of work in the past 4 days.. HO HO HO.... the joys of working in Australia *sigh*. And we have a huge Christmas party tommorow, so my work week is basically over.. hooray!

Looking forward to doing some christmas shopping later (hint hint), not sure whats the plan after that though. Gwen is such a great host, though..... mmm, she can be quite blur at times. Milton seems to know whats good on the menu for every chinese restaurant in Brisbane and offers comprehensive reviews on taste and portion size.

As some of you would know, I went ice skating with Gwen a couple of days ago. Went away slightly bruised but managed to skate quite well (i only fell twice leh). And Jedi Knights don't shave ice, not sure what Gwen is going on about, it all goes back to the Queenslander thing lah. Gwen did a nice belly-flop, in the middle of the rink, 10/10 for un-glamness.

Can't wait for surfing this weekend... hope I can stand on my first attempt. I don't want to be one of those who stand on the third attempt :P
