hmmm the past few days have gone fast... I am clearly still on the Australian Time zone... woke up this morning at 5am Singapore time... and drove Mindy to School. Dad's gone to Thailand for 14days so I have the car. So far, all i've done is eat LOTs of food, did a lil' shopping yesterday... and also tried for the first time Fish Spa... it was really wierd, letting fishes exfoliate your skin by nibbling your dead skin. Aparantly its really popular.. Not cheap i have to say. My aunt took me so that I could have an experience....
Anyhow, I will let the pictures do the talking as i'm feeling a lil' lazy...
Oh n please excuse some of the photos... they were taken with the lil' camera that seems to be finding it hard to focus at the moment.
On Board the A380 AirBus, where I got really air sick.

Yes... its times like that that I love having wireless internet connection and a laptop.I'm sitting at gate 57 of Sydney's international terminal and I should be boarding the plane in 30mins....Its a little nerve wrecking being on the A380 for the first time, but at the same time, exciting.
Oh and as I type this line, the plane is pulling into the bay.... and its a big momah... a car or person next to the plane is like a big dog and an ant...
anyhow I'll post a picture of it when I get back,... I've been sitting here for the last 2hrs, and got a little startled when I was stopped by a lady doing surveys... Only reason being that I have been rudely reminded that I've been in Australia for almost 6yrs.... Kinda scary really....
Kinda surreal... being on holiday and all, I havent even left the airport but already I am missing people from here....
The people and the dogs.. It'll be wierd being back in Sunny *i hope* Singapore...
They didnt allow me to bring up my heat pack 'cos it was more than 100ml of gel... so I really am not looking forward to this 8hr flight... but I've had breakfast.... Soy Chai n Banana Bread from GJs..... so I can load up the pain killers and hope for the best... I have 2 mags to keep me occupied... the laptop if I want to do some "work"... and hopefully I get to sit next to someone who doesnt need a whole lot of arm space.... or smells... better still, have a spare seat next to me!!!!
I had less than 2 hrs of sleep last night and hte past few nights have been similar... so I'm a little dazy at the moment... so maybe the pain killers might knock me out cold.... which might be a good thing....
I will update again when I touch down...
But till then, over and OUT....
PS Those who matter, you know who u are, take care and see u in cyberspace... :) xx

Hello 2008! Oh and Happy new year to everyone... Just got home from work 15 mins ago, and just eating a little supper before I go to bed because I have been starving for the last 3hrs... Figured that it wouldnt be good to start the new year with an empty n hungry stomach... So i've cooked some of my favourites (Or I should say, the only few items I have left in my fridge)...
My first Australian New Year experience... and spent at work with about 1500 other people....and at the end, we had massive fireworks that went for 15mins.... Loud echos through the valley, surely the neighbours who were asleep got awoken... N I wonder how much work spent on those fireworks because they were quite impressive... fast n furious and loud... oh did I mention LOUD?
Anyhow, I'm done with supper... shall go get myself washed and go to bed.... 2am and so far 2008 is looking better than 2007.
Goals, Resolutions, Dreams and Vision all set and ready to go... and requests put in to the Big Guy...
So Here's to a brilliant and prosperous and healthy year, with good friends, increased wisdom and fuller pockets... hahaha
