Started off the last week with a working trip to Brisbane.. Had to get up so early on the monday morning to catch a cab to the airport.. flight was an agonising 2 hours. Picked up our car which was a Hyundai Getz.. I have to say, it's such a amazingly lousy car. no pickup, no power, and as clarkson would say, no character! training was not too bad, actually found it quite interesting the first day.. was a wonder i stayed awake considering i slept 4 hours the previous night. For dinner, we went to this spanish bar restaurant in Fortitude valley in the city.. Had paella and tapas... ate until so full. It's so nice to splurge on food when you don't have to think of the cost of it.. can just order what you feel like it and go for a full course meal. Our hotel was the same one.. this time the room that I got was so warm for some reason.. couldn't really nap there in the evenings..

On the 2nd day after training we went to this indian restaurant in a suburb abt 45 minutes drive away.. the food was allright but wasn't great.. the curries were very hot though. On the way back, got caught in the traffic jam on the highway because of the stupid roadworks. Slept at about 3am that night.. fortunately training the next day starts at 12.30pm.. went to Coffee Club for breakfast, had the eggs benedict with bacon.hahaha.. training practical in the afternoon was quite interesting.. actually learnt stuff that will be useful i think! after the training, drove to the airport to catch our flight out which was at 7pm. Had dinner at the pub before that.. this is gonna be our final training in Brisbane.. something tells me I'm not gonna miss this place. hahaha.. except for all the free meals!

Came home, Thursday was just another normal day, went to wash my car after work, but it rained like half an hour after that.. dang! .. Friday.. went out for lunch at Crown with colleagues.. then after that came home to sleep for a while before ocf.. was kinda raining a bit that night. After ocf, sent some people back to their colleges and homes.. when i was just about to head home, saw zk and jack heading back so drove them home.. after that pl msged asking to go back to church..so went back there where they were all jamming.. then 3 of us charles pl and I went to hungry jacks for supper.. the maribyrnong united gang.. haha.. came home around 1.30 then slept at abt 3..

In the morning.. went to pick charles up and then went to sitcom to pick jamie and wl.. charles drove to gold leaf in burwood after that for our bs social. Had quite high expectations for this place after hearing so much good things about it.. but all we did at our table was COMPLAIN! the food wasn't really that nice.. some more we were seated at the far end of the kitchen hence the food that made its way to us were probably the leftover ones after the good ones were taken by earlier tables.. Didn't even have chicken feet! After the social a few of us went over to crystal's place, where she was cooking food.. sat around.. played mahjong.. my first time playing in a long while.. had to get them to teach me again! after that started downloading some iphone games and just went crazy playing it.. Hung around until about 8pm (that's when her housemate returns), then went to tapao kfc before heading to sitcom house to eat... Rented rush hour 2&3 to watch for the night..Ended up the guys were watching soccer and the girls watched rush hour.. haha.. came home quite late around 12 plus after sending charis,michelle and PL home..

Sunday was a bit late for church..after church crashed shake's group social at sitcom house.. made burgers ... and later on played scattergories. after most of the group left, we went to princess park to find the soccer gang.. couldn't find them and ended up jogging around for a bit.. then went back to sitcom house.. I came out to buy ice cream at safeway lygon but was just circling around for so long looking for a spot to park! in the end parked at the basketball court.. met michelle there and then bought some ice creams and went back to sitcom where they made wantan for us... about 9pm, went to belgian beer cafe at eureka towers.. about 12 of us were there.. tonight apparently is the buy one free one night for the mussels.. I'm not a big fan of mussels but have to admit that the mussels were damn good. after the beers and the mussels, can't believe we still had the energy to go back to sitcom.. and watch a msian show called Woo Hoo! I didn't really understand the cantonese they were speaking and there were no subtitles! but some of the words they used were funny and helped keep me awake. after that jack came to sleepover at my place for the night.

The next morning, woke up around 8am.. so early man!! long weekend's supposed to be the time where I catch up on sleep, but what am I doing!! went to fetch PL at 9am.. came to my place and we watched 72 tenants with jack.. quite a funny show with a cny ring to it. was having some pillow fight after that... afterwards drove to macdonald's at flemington to drivethru and got some lunch. went to brother's house to eat it while waiting for jack to change.. then after that went to melbourne uni badminton court to play badminton. played a bit but not much.. felt more lazy than ever! after the badminton we went to safeway for a while to buy snacks.. I waited in the car while they bought the stuff.. after that we went to sitcom house.. watch I Not Stupid Too. still nice although I've watched it before. After the movie, when the rest were either going soccer or minding their own business already, sent PL home and then went to safeway to get dinner..

That's how I spent my anzac day long weekend! free and easy weekend indeed.. when is my next long weekend?? this weekend.. hopefully..
