bis wir wieder treffen

Geez I hope I got the above right.... I tried using Babelfish to translate - Till We Meet Again.... Anyway, we held a farewell dinner for the Freys' on Saturday and had some of our other friends over as well. The Freys were friends of my brother but we managed to get along pretty well :) I will always remember going for dim sum with them and introducing them to chicken feet and century eggs. They left behind so much stuff .... but they also left behind some really good alcohol, so guess who got to inherit them? According to them, I drink pretty well for a non-German, and with a height like mine!! :P They will be fondly remembered.... and hopefully one day we will meet again :)

2007 So Far....

Managed to see McNaught's Comet on Tuesday at Salter Point Park. Initially it was a little difficult to locate the comet - what we thought was the comet at first wasnt the comet :) It was also pretty cool that one of the people there had telescopes that we could have a better look at the comet. The telescope had to be adjusted a little as I was too short to reach the view finder :P The evening finished off with waffles :)

The last couple of weeks have seen me thru a feeling of xianess... seriously if the beginning of 2007 is already like this I'm not really looking forward to the rest of 2007 if my mood isnt going to change.

Trying to plan a holiday in June with my friends - every year we try and plan but every year one of us would change a job and then we're stuck with probation times... so let's hope for all our sakes that this year (or at least until June) we hold off changing jobs!

This weekend promises to be fun... going to try and cook some chilli crabs tonite - if I can find the crabs, tomorrow evening there's KM's birthday party and then there's a farewell party at my place for my bro's German friends who are leaving Perth for good. And... KR recommended that I read 'My Sisters Keeper' by Jodi Picoult and I can't seem to put the book down! And next week... is a 4 day week... YAY!! :)

The Engine has yet to start....

I've been trying to get my engine started... to go to the gym, to be on time for work, etc etc... but it's so damn hard :(

My year so far started on a pretty positive note but the last couple of days has gone down a little which is affecting me a little on the emotional side. I'm hoping it'll improve soon. I hate feeling so crappy... it affects everything that I do. Maybe I need a Biorhythm Calculator :)

Last week I managed to catch the movie Borat with my bro and WL - I kind of skived of work on the basis that I needed to rest... but hey watching a movie is a form of rest :P I can't believe I actually went to watch the movie...
