Back

Isnt God just great? I've had a pretty hectic last couple of weeks and told myself that I needed some rest, and he actually made me sick enough to have a couple of days medical leave so that I can rest! OK... my boss probably isnt the happiest person out there now but I need this time of rest

The last few days before I left to come back to Perth was very busy. Since my last blog entry, on Thurs, we went to JB and had sudanese food - man the crispy fish was good, and managed to do some shopping with mum.... so she got me a couple of stuff :) Thursday night dinner was a quiet easy affair (dad just did some take away from the coffee shop) but later on that night, met WY for supper... for $6 we managed to have a porridge buffet... how cool is that? Needless to say, I think WY struggled to wake up the next morning

On Friday - it was shopping overload. Met mum for lunch at her work and we went for Japanese. I admit I had one of the best sukiyaki and mum had some japanese rice (it's hard to describe, but we had it when we were in Japan b4). Then off to shopping I went, but no shoes for me :(

For dinner, we were at Savannah where my auntie made popiah (fresh spring rolls) for us. It was absolutely delicious!! Now if only we could find some fresh turnips here that would be great for me to make some. After dinner, the girls and I went to watch a midnight movie - I Not Stupid 2, and on my way to meet them, I actually lost my way... how embarassing is that?!?!!?

Saturday we were having our house dinner party and mum made her very yummy fried kway teow.... went for a massage with WY as well and boy did that masseur really rub it in... I was so sore after that!! We later went back to my place and helped around a little and vegetated around as well. We bought a lotto ticket, but I'm not holding my breath that we would strike first prize. Dinner time came and it was a pretty good turnout. Had abt 6 - 7 of my close friends and they stayed till 2am. BL aka FL kind of pissed my brother and me off by bringing a girl who didnt have much social etiquette. Think my folks weren't too impressed either. If he continues, he would be one of the unmentionables in my family. The dinner spread was pretty good as well and one of my aunt's specially made some curry puffs for me to take back to Oz.

We had a lazy Sunday at home and started packing in the afternoon. When I was clearing customs/immigration upon my arrival, I got 'sniffed out' by one of the dogs and got very scrutinised by the customs people - I think they thought that I had bad stuff on me.... so it turns out that their dogs took longer than normal when they were sniffing me... OK.. didnt they think that it's becoz I have dogs as well?

Struggled to work on Monday and throughout the day I kept wanting to leave work to come home to rest but I persevered. I doubt that the people at work were appreciative that I did that. Now that I'm on a couple of days medical leave, I wonder what are they going to nit pick out of it?
