Merry Christmas and a Happy Boxing Day

Yes yes yes...I know I've been a slack arse for not updating my blog since I left to Lorne for summer projects but ever since I got back I haven't had the chance to catch my breath yet. After a 9 hour drive back to Sydney from Melbourne (thanks Wei for driving all the 'wei'!), I found myself back in the familiar neighbourhood with the smell of Sydney's 'busyness' in the air. Life wasn't going to be the same as it was for the past 2-3 weeks.

I won't elaborate too much what happened during summer projects as it will take forever to mention everything. Perhaps another post. But I will mention a little bit of my 'personal mission' down to Melbourne which involves a particular gorgeous looking girl whom I met 6 months or so ago in a country town called Albury. Boy oh boy is she gorgeous, or have I mentioned that already? Hehe. Spent an amazing 4 days hanging out with her in total, exploring the sites of Melbourne and tasting the vast amount of foods that Melbourne has got to offer. To the valleys of the Yarra, to the mountains of Dandenong, I was in ecstasy just being with her.

I'm at my parent's place at the moment so I don't have access to my pictures back at home. Will post some pictures when I get the chance to do so. Oh yeah, to some she's known as 'Rachel' and to others she's known as 'Hong Yi'. To me she's known as 'princess'. Haha, yes yes I know. Corny. :: Anime sweat :: But heck, its true :P

Anyway, I must've digressed from the what I was meant to post about (see post title). Christmas seemed a bit empty this year since my siblings are spread across the globe (Malaysia, China and Tanzania). It was good though to have ham and turkey for dinner with lots of booze. Red wines and a newly discovered beverage for myself called 'Little Creature - Pale Ale'. Pretty nice, you should check it out. I got a cool shirt from Vicky, toblerone, and some cash from my parents which I've spent most of it on shopping.

On Boxing Day I had a little barbeque gathering with some mates from church and uni. Also had 2 surprise visitors from Melbourne whose names are Carmen and Sarah. They were hanging out in Sydney for a few days before heading to a place 800km or so west of Brisbane to do missions work. Cool bunch. Hung out with them and Anthony for the past few days watching a movie and shopping. Oh don't forget the endless nights of watching the tv series, Heroes. Awesome tv.

Alrighty then, I guess that's it for now. Tired from typing. Recommence full-time work on Tuesday. Heading to Canberra tomorrow for a science exhibition. Doing something for new years eve. Happy holidays, have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Something to think about: What does Christmas mean to you? Presents? Family gatherings? Santa Clause? He's just a fat-ass dude who I find unimaginable that he can fit through chimney openings. Jesus? :: hint hint ::
