Progression.

That's bout right, 2 exams outta the 5 down and i'm feelin' pretty ... down. Wait, that ain't right...i just finished exams... why do I feel down? Don't ask me. I don't know. And honestly, i really don't think knowing will help at all. So once again, silence is golden. Finished a 2 and a half hour exam in less than an hour, spent a lil while checkin' it, and then checked out with 45 minutes of the exam left to go. Felt like a bawse. But a very unsure one...what if i misunderstood half the questions? Are the ones i guessed going to be right? Hopefully.

Was a conversation of a wait, talking with people i didn't usually talk to, be it from my course, or be it some people who i didn't know at all. We just conversed. Exam all in all sounded like everyone flunked it. With a hint of someone who 'studied-but-tried-ridiculously-hard-to-insist-that-he-didn't'. That should've been a hint that the rest of my day was going to be the world's challenge to see what could get to me. But hahaha, it's just not that easy.

Ride home was like an oven in the car, air con didn't even feel like air, felt like the bare ventilation you could get into an oven without stopping the process of cooking. And hell, I was cookin'. A seat at home was not long lived as i was once again pulled up, and taken to the gym. This time was different tho. This times was a progression. It was a workout executed by none other than the big-gEST man. Yeah, that's right. The Terminator. ARNIE. This was the workout. and believe me, this one IS actually a LOT easier said than done. I kid you not.

(Warm up, i did my own warm-up. Coz warm up IS realli that important. Don't neglect it. Mark my words boys n grrls.)

Then? (a and b, mean superset.)
1a) Bench Press
1b) Pull ups
2a) Incline Bench Press
2b) Seated Row
3a) Dumbell Flies (Flat)
3b) Bent-over Rows
4a) Dips
4b) Chin-ups
5) Lying Chest stretch
Additional Tricep exercises:
6) Tricep Pushdowns
7) Bent-over Tricep Extensions

Cooldown, and stretch (Arnie poses as a cool down, i can't afford to do that yet, coz ....well, people will laugh at me LOL trust me, i WILL when i DO get shredded tho xP) oh and cooldown? equally as important as warm up. SO DO IT.

That workout wasn't just physically draining. If you don't have the mental capacity and strength, you won't even get past the first few exercises. And this is using a weight you could JUST do 8-10 reps on for each exercise. It's intense stuff.

Then it's home timee, shower time, then YOUCH YOU SON OF A.....WHO THE HELL PUT U THERE, AND ON?! it was a bloody hair straightener, and it was on, but not plugged in, and apparently VERY hot. Cold water for 15-20 minutes did its job...till the hot water from the shower came in contact with the skin. And so yeah. Cold shower it was.

Movin' on. Monday's another exam day. Imma needa get that ALL down by the end of the night tomolo. Not Buts.

Well, imma check out, when gym's been the best part of my day, you know i haven't had the greatest of days. But, as i've said before, you can't always get what you want. That's life aye? Enywey.

Wish me Luck.

Hush.

I feel a storm coming.

Cadavers, Plastic models and Chairs.
Dead. Silent. Immovable Objects (coz you can't touch them in the exam)
Tomolo's exam is going to go DOWNNNNNN,
Studied so hard that when i close my eyes...all i see are specimens with labels and names, probably not even the right ones, but they're in there! So i can't be THAT bad right?

Learnt moar in today's few hours than i did in the whole of this semester. I actually touched and sort through moar specimens than i had in all my lab classes combined. I guess there IS kinda a connection between actual hands-on and learning and understanding what you're...being taught hahahaha

Well, we aren't smart for no reason! So onward! Dude. Yesterday's Standing One-legged Calf Raises? My calves are GONE. Talking a bout raising, i can't even relax em. stretching needed and probably a lighter plate. My calves can't handle as much as my arms can yet. Baby steps.

Speakin' of baby steps. No HOUSE this week. A special double ep next week tho. Halloween special or somethin' rather. Lookin' forward to it =P. HIMYM as usual, TBBT...that's tomolo....i think.

Wish me luck tho boys n grrls. Imma need all I can get.

Leave y'all with a lil something that popped up today.
The little joys in life,
From a maccas cookie box comes...

Break Please.

Too much study, too little time. It's like you have so much energy normally, and then suddenly, just as you get comfortable just cruising your way through whatever it is you're doing, you suddenly have a deadline or an EXAM. Then that cruise control button's suddenly broken and you're stuck, feeling like it's gon be alright and not at all fearing the exams ahead. Well, I'm lucky, i guess, i'm half stuck on that cruise control, things that i WANT to do have become an excuse to get work done rather than using them as motivation hahahha

Anyway, who wants to talk about study? Hit uni for study group today with a few mates, fiddling around with the software and trying to label diagrams and systems of the body, I'm pretty sure moar than 95% of it all WAS guess-work. Probably a good idea to actually learn some of the stuff in class next time. But for now, as we kids do, we blame our teacher xP but seriously! in this case, the demonstrator we had had realli no spirit in her whatsoever. So falling asleep even with cadavers in front of you was possible. And i'll be honest, i dozed off a few times too, before realising that i didn't want to face-plant in a specimen and waking up immediately.

But tried a muffin from uni, chocolate chip muffin. Said i'd try one of these things since first sem, but never got around to it, i was originally going to grab chocolate coz it was moar convenient, but turns out, the muffins were right there waiting for me to purchase, and so i did. Pretty good, gonna ask for it to be heated up next time tho, possibly grab some ice cream with it. That'd make a pre-tty nice muffin i reckon =P

After uni, went home, sunk into my computer seat just to be shaken up by none other than the GYM. So impromptu gym session it was! Legs, Shoulders, Biceps. Fixed my workout today a little, started with HIIT (a good 12 minutes that basically OVER-warmed up my legs, but hey =P its gym hahaha); followed by Legs first up, superset my exercises.
Agonist-antagonist style. Leg extensions followed by Hamstring curls.
Squats separately.
Standing one-legged calf raises with a 20kg plate coz i haven't done this exercise before. [Form > Pride]
Shoulders was:
Standing shoulder presses super-setted with lateral raises.
Upright Rows super-setted with Barbell Shrugs
Biceps:
Alternating Curls
Standard arm Curls (One and a half regime)
Concentration Curls
Cooldown:
WALKED HOME LOL

Pretty cool stuff, gym. Then it was just plain study till now. PSYC study. Of the brain tho, so i'm guessing it'll help with the anatomy study tomolo!

Wish me luck and hope all is well for me and for y'all!
But for now, Adios, goodnight!

Conditioning.

It's what we all need right now. Yeah. Some Air Conditioning. Alright, lame, but not false. The weather's gettin' pretty heavy and humid, it's crazy! Walkin' out in the city today, i was sweating every step i took in the sun. And every step i took not in the sun, was a step to try and stop myself from sweating. SiiGH.

TSD, where you at mayne? I haven't heard from you in the AGES in this place.

Enywey, other conditioning we need is like... Psychology. I don't think ANY amount of conditioning is gonna get me to like this type of stuff, other than the /sometimes/ misleading stigma attached which refers to mind-reading or playing with people's minds or helping them solve mental issues, i really don't see the point in learning about experimenting on our behaviours and actions. It's just gonna get so confusing, all us psychology students will just become depressed and ultimately end up as the people you need to treat. But a finals exam will be a finals exam, and yes, it's alright, i will devote a night, maybe two -if i feel generous- to learning what needs to be regurgitated at that race course which all unsw kids do our exams at... and so, it will be done.

Furthermoar, gym conditioning is coming along well, think i may have worked out an alright program that'll have me in good shape in time for summer hahahaha let's hope it workssssss, those abs i've ordered from ebay have been delayed enough! and i want my abs NOW! hahahaha, aights, its all cool. hard work pays off, and im gonna work hard. Gonna  ACTUALLY try out some sprintin' in the early morn, i'll let y'all know how that goes, and if i throw up, or i pass out or something, it'll be interesting hahaha

Gonna pair the morning sprints with HIIT (for those who aren't familiar with the term, it stands for High Intensity Interval Training); with the routine weight training session which i got goin'. 3 way split has come down to a 2 workout set cycle: Legs, Shoulders, Biceps AND Back, Chest, Triceps. Main aim is for a general cut down, so hopefully within 2-3 months time (best if its before end of year) and just to add a lil size along with the definition, which im sure, SHOULD be noticeable. But till i've worked out something awesome that i can vouch for, imma keep experimenting and seeing if anyone's willing to test out my workouts for me in the short AND long term.

Well, the studies beckon for my attention, and being a uni student, i just can't defend myself against the allure of last minute cramming, and so, till next time y'all

Last Lab of the Semester!

Today's been quite a day, was quite the ghost town at uni to start with tho. Let's tell all in chronological order shall we?

9:00am: HESC Lecture, about OHS and oddly amusing pictures which actually resembled the...overly-healthy lecturer which i have never seen before as part of my course. Probably just a substitute brought in to read after giving her a day or two to memorize and prepare materials, nevertheless, the class was small, and everyone was quite. Sneakily using ur mobile phones were just accepted and overlooked as it wasn't THAT important of a lecture i guess. Either that or the lecturer really DIDN'T see me and the majority of the class fiddling with our phones right on out table tops without any of our books out... I'd like to think it was the former. Enwey.

10:00am: Final Anatomy Lab of the year, and probably the one which would yield the most laughs from the class as a whole, and not just the awkward laugh from our corner of the room in particular. It was a lab on the Urinary and Reproductive System. And yeah, that's right, you could see the demonstrator become nervous at each word that would even cause a slight giggle; what's moar, you could see the amazing speed at which uni students become a bunch of giggling and immature little kids (me included) and you just stop and think. Gee this is FUN! hahahaha But the demonstrators amazing ability of transforming an interesting topic into one of too much of a patience task listening that we all just...kinda died down and stared the clock as it crawled ever-so slowly toward our finishing time.

But surprise! Half hour early mark, and we were headin' down for some food yo. Only to realise that I had to cut back on those carbs, otherwise my runs would be counted for close to nothing but adaptation for my body. For those who don't know, Y'all have a body that's constantly adapting to whatever you do, and if you were to keep running everyday, but continue consuming an imbalanced diet, it would all go to contribute in making u moar use to the exercise (making you FEEL as tho you're getting good at it, which u are....to a small extent) and less use to burning whatever it is that you want to burn, in this case, fat. So to do this, we do stuff, like depriving out bodies to an extent where the balance is JUST tipped toward fat (as aerobic training switches to fat-burning when you're 'in the zone' so to speak) and so moar fat is shed and you actually lose fat! Cool huh?

But i digress! So, no junk food for me today! Home i went

1:00pm: Home. Opened computer, watched an episode of Breaking Bad, contemplated studying, before feeling completely NOT ready for study, luckily my babee saved my dayy. Talked to her over the phonee and was nicee, till gym called. Well they didn't ACTUALLY call me, but i was called to go to the gym. I won't even talk about gym, i was just DEAD by the end of it >.> (this was at around....i forget what time.)

Shower, Dinner, Tax Table check (coz i FINALLY got paid after 5 weeks of making me stare at a bare minimum in my bank. Seriously, i REALLY hope this all don't happen EVER again) And then finding out that people who earn 250Gs and above have 49% of their pay taxed. Like whaaaa? @.@ So my plan is to make as much as i can while there's low tax, and when i hit above that margin, to hit above it by a LOT.

Which then lands me here, OH wait! I reset my password for skype so now i have my account back! Turns out...i have two accounts already....i really don't remember making two. Maybe i'm having a mild eminem moment of just completely forgetting about a portion of my life. For him it was forgetting 5 years. Just imagine that o.o that'd be so weird, especially coz he would've done so much for himself and now...completely forgot that he did ANY of it.

Anyhow, that was bout all for today that i can remember and type out as fast as i can hahahahaha, either way, don't worry and be happy, even if ur exams are about to hit u right on! hit it right back!

Pay Me.

Yeah, that's right. And you should. Work hasn't been the best literal 'payout' these recent weeks. Still goin' well tho, just get to work now, and set myself on cruise control and...well. Cruise through it. Only thing that would make it the best it can be, is if the pay came on time. Works announced, no moar shifts after 15th Dec. til next year. That'll be aight, but i guess by that time, this mayne should be a certified PT. That's right. Personal Trainer. Enywey.

Turns out today, we presented a pre-tty good workout for 8-10 yr-olds and learnt that Jumpin' Jacks aren't the best thing to do for a warm up. Other than that, it felt pretty relieving getting everything out of the way. And yeah, this IS another one of those moments when u realise that hey...we finished all this, and we should be all 'yay', but then there are the finals charging right at us. Two Anatomy tests, one practical, and one theory. And one each for the other 3 courses. Not looking forward to the cramming. Esp. that of Stats. I'm gonna hate it hahahahaha.

Training's been goin' good, running a hell of a lot made it feel a lot easier to do everything else, but then I notice the ripping sensation or feeling near my kneecap. And that's not so good. So i'm goin' to lay off the leg-work for now. SiiGH. Other than that, sudden haitus' in training never feels good. Yeah, i know, there's the time when you take a break from something and get back to it, feeling like ur awesome and better than before. But then what happens after that? hahahahaha, performance drops, then you feel 'back to normal' when in actual fact, you're probably not even close to being normal. Adrenaline can do weird things =P

Oh! and the iPhone 4S! and no, before you jump over this coz u think im going to start talking bout the actual phone... i'm not, i still got QUITE a bit of time left on my contract hahaha, and so like so many others, be they knowledgeable or nay. I updated my iPhone 4, and am now running on iOS5. That ISH runs like 'iPhone on steroids' - says one uni mate. some pretty neat features got thrown in, the moar efficient and easier accessible camera, the notifications, the different settings that can be applied to the phone just in general. Its pretty sweet, but havin' Siri would be quite the show, now we're gonna be witness to a whole horde of people sweet-talkin' their iPhone 4S's coz of it, hahahhahaha, free entertainment? I know i'm up for it =P But wait....there's also the people who won't be able to get Siri to do ANYTHING coz of a ....slight.... accent problem i guess? hahahaha

Well, that's that, and i'm bored. y'all been up to much? we certainly haven't been, and funny, how not posting in such a long time might even indicate otherwise, but i'm sure you know, people get lazy hahahaha, i'm trying as hard as i can not to be hahahaha. Alright, i'll put some effort into doing something productive then, i'll try post up again soon.

AsSIGHnments & Assessments

Here come the week, when you realise there's only two weeks left o' uni. well...for this year anyway...SHIAT i say! Two group works to sort out just 2-3 days before they're due, and both groups haven't even met up. And ONE group, i don't even know half the members. Schweet huh? Not realli. Lucky they only worth 4 and 5 percent. Otherwise i would've had some leading to do. Enywey, this ain't stopped me from havin' fun, or just looking for new ways of procrastinating without feeling like I am. I think we've all become a master of that. Don't be proud tho, things just MIGHT start to pile up =P

Yes, like they're piling up for me. LOL. So that's why i decided to clean up a little, then organize some of my stuff on my table, and the files on my computer, then check all my emails, give facebook a last glance, check if Captain America is up for the downloadin' yet and then....oh yeah, put my phone to charge up to full battery, back up my stuff for tomolo, have a little fruit, grab a glass of water for when i'm studying like crazy when i'm ready to, take a shower, download ALL the lectures i have to catch up with, then jump up on here and give y'all somethin' to read so you won't distract me while i'm studyin' later =P and then FINALLY, i might settle for just grabbin' some fruit before i start the studyin'. But wait, my chair feels a little uncomfy, i might hang up my jackets, put away my clothes and then....ohkay, y'all get the point xP I can do this for HOURS.

So alrite, for actual reasons! i'll type up what i gotta do here. Catch up on 7 lectures for exphys. 10 for anatomy (these should be quick tho), maths assignment 15%, contact my two groups to see what i gotta do for the group, and I think i'll stick to those things for now. hahahaha ALRITE.

Takin' my green tea tablet and off I go, into the land of 'in-the-zone' studyin', I'll see y'all on the otherside. or maybe on another post =P ohkay i really shouldnt do that hahahaha

To work!

From somewhere YOU'D rather be.

Well, not really, coz im back already. hahahaha, i left last Thursday night. Headed for the very place this mayne was born in. Brisbane, Queensland. Who would've guessed aye? some of my relatives didn't even know i was born there. Well, can't blame em all, apparently i was only a few months when i left. And now right back there and they like 'who's this big guy?' =P

Well, plane trip was aight, binge-eating week, eating everything didnt actually entail eating everything, but was good to feel at ease and let loose in terms of what i ate, the drive from airport to uncles place was pretty long, starring out the window and checkin' out the place, it was like sydney. But real laid back and spatious as idk what, but everything just seemed so big. Every single house looked like they were 5+ bedders. And even with that many houses, they managed to have a whole load of forest-like parts around, was kinda like....St. Ives if any of y'all have been to St. Ives here.

Snakes and ostriches here and there as well, wild, and funnily enough, not that scary hahahaha, but anyway, we stopped, 5 cars, two-storey house, 'lovely' was the word that came to mind when i stepped outta the car and saw the house. LOL. was still early, only arvo time, around 4? Everyone was up and chatty, everyone waiting in the lounge room, all eyes on us. Lucky they were the 7-8 aunts i had already met before and a few lil nephews running around like crazy. And then i saw it, the famous 'ladder biscuits' that i had loved since the first time i had em back when i was primary school age (when i went to Darwin to check out other relos, that is) hahaha, but unpacking came first, and the cousins and my bro were all ready and talkin' of hitting the clubs to see what it was like. Costume party they say? Well, that's what we did, we went costume hunting.

Not being sure on who we had goin' and not being sure what would look best for us as a group, we headed home and just changed normally so we would at least be ready to go and party. Maybe it was fate tho, we got to the club, Klub Kandy, and guess what? the people there were giving out free devil horns for everyone to wear, and wear them we did =P lucky us! and then we waited for the next half hour to hour just to get into the club, lucky it was hot, otherwise I would've just vouched for us to go home.

3-4 Levels, all sortsa music, a pretty nice mix actually, but we were literally packed like sardines in there, walking past one person took like a few minutes, drinks weren't the cheapest, but they sufficed, only coz it was like a trek up mount Everest to get a drink. Halloween was the theme, and man some people were dressed quite well. Danced the night away, standing right next to the sub woofers, the bass was almost like aircon. Met moar people on the dancefloor and just danced, every song made you wanna move, so move we didd, act silly, the moments of tiredness were blown away when the next song came on even louder.

As the party went on, it realli was exhausting, so we had finally come to the decision to leave, and after a good 5-10 songs later, we did hahahahaah, getting out was quite swift, as we got out, there was some guy at the exit with lacerations to his mouth, apparently he was punched in the face. Funny thing was, i gathered this not by hearing (coz i realli couldn't hear ANYTHING) but by his friend gesturing a punch, explaining it to the paramedics who arrived. I didn't even hear the cars going past, was like wearing noise-cancelling headphones but not listening to music. Walked back to car, getting use to not hearing anything, trying to gain back the skill of hearing, everyone was hungry and tired. The first words i heard were...'Dom said.....Maccas...this trip...must have' and so i said, Yeah!, i dont know how loud i said it, but everyone turned to look at me. Awkward for a lil, but then we DID go to maccas =P Drive-thru at 4am in the morning? GG. I realised my bigmac had like two pieces of lettuce in it the following morning, but that was ohkay. You only have maccas for the fat anyway hahahahah

Shower was slow and eerie in the dead of night, sleep was terrible (got bitten by like bugs or something, the back of my head still hurts from something) and woke early the next morning. Exhausted.

"Get READY! We're going to the gold coast. NOW." Then it was as if someone slammed the acceleration pedal, and everything went in fastforward. Everything just so fast, cleaning, eating, chatting, dayum even playing pool felt like 2 seconds, then we got on the car. Then it felt like i was watching grass grow. Long ass road trip all the way to the Gold Coast! sleep was....i dont even know if i slept, but it was quite the ride there. But we hit the point where there were a load of trees, a clear blue sky and a load of cars. One big sign.

MOVIE WORLD.

This was the time we went on to search for the one and only. Batman. Either that or Ben 'n Jerry's Ice Cream. Whichever one you'd prefer. I got both =P But coincidentally we had also visited on Movie World's 20th anniversary, we walked around, havin' food, frozen coke, chocolate, takin' photos here and there, my lil nieces went for rides and my cousins went for rides and games too. Batman played a little scene, as did scooby and marilyn monroe. THEN WE SAW BATMAN IN THE ALLEY. Just as he walked off for a break LOL but did look quite like the movies coz he walked into another dodgy alleyway. That's when we went for ice cream and moar photos and finally....we saw him again. Shake of hands, Photo, silent acknowledgement of each other and it was done. It's what we paid the 80 for. To see THE batman.

Then time came to leave so we wandered around, doing some last minute souvenior shopping or photo-taking when we heard the announcement. Character Parade. AWESOME. Looney Tunes characters all of em paradin' down in they vehicles, catwoman was walking.... and then Austin Powers was there too, then batman in (or on, i should say) his batmobile rollin' on down. THEN...this part made my day. Party Rock Anthem came on, and the Looney Tunes characters...THEY SHUFFLED, to the song, like full properly n stuff, was quite the scene. Guess Movie World IS pretty awesome =P So it came to a close, and we left and hit the road again, for a view of Surfers Paradise before we headed home, it was all hot and bothersome and    
incomparable to Movie World, well, maybe coz we were tired and had no swimwear hahahaha, So we slept
our way home, and that was pretty much the end of day two. Well, we had small dinner and played pool and singstar will we went to sleep. And yeah, that was the end of day two.

Day 3 was quite the strange wait, the final touches of the wedding preparation (as we WERE living at the Bride's mum's place) as well as all the females getting their make-up and hair done, checking out their dresses, and the guys waiting down in the lounge room, seemingly not caring but checking themselves out everynow and then too, so games of pool it was. Played till others wanted to play, then changed up and checked out how the photographer was going, taking pics of everything and anything that she was directed to take pictures of. Funny when they were taking the moar important photos and everyone was told to either pretend to be chatting with each other or laughing together ahahahaha, was quite the awkward situation if u ask me =P But the time came, the trip to the church for the exchanging of the vows. So we headed there and twas a pretty grand church. The ceremony seemed to fly past, what was an hour, felt like 5 minutes. we were in and out of there pretty quickly. The photos took quite a bit of time too, the whole family photo consisted of ....i have no idea how many people hahahaha, but was quite a lot, only the photographer could get a picture of everyone in one shot hahahaha.

As this concluded, the venue was to be checked out a final time before an hours rest and then back for the dinner. Helped out with the venue decorations for a lil before we headed back for a lil rest and change of a shirt, just for a better look and feel for the night. The entrance was aight, thought we were late, but turns out, we were right on time, intro'd to a lot of relatives that i didnt even know i had, intro'd to their kids with awkward handshakes n all, then went to get seated. The place was decorated quite nicely, floral green theme. Was a buffet dinner, but had to get called out and lined up for food, which was lil incentive as the food was good, but not the greatest. So that went by, along with the few nervous speeches which were given by both families and from the bride to groom and groom to bride. Got a few drinks down, the night looked to be boring overall, but there was a photobooth outside! a dress up one, with silly photos to be taken! so take photos we did, and was fun, the few minutes it lasted, maybe even less.

Dancin' time was awkward, the aunties takin' their turns at picking out who they wanted to dance with and then dancing for a song and then changing over, it was all fun and games, despite the playlist being a lil....random tryna suit lil kiddos these days and the oldies from back in the day. Tho we made the best of the good songs, strutting our stuff to a few songs and then finally building up and eventually got everyone shufflin' to the party rock anthem. And it was pretty awesome what partying could be had with just a lil trigger. Too bad that only lasted for the few songs before and after. Then the songs went back into romantic music, for the couples to dance to, here's where i missed my babee, would've been perfect with her in my arms instead of sitting there awkwardly sippin' my drink. Then the wedding cake was cut, and shared, there was so much cream, im not even sure there was any cake....in the cake. And so onward! shared the last dance with mum and then party over. Congratulations and thanks to the bride and groom for the good time, and an exhausting ride home, a challenge of keeping my eyelids up the whole way home so i wouldn't have to be woken when we got back.

Getting back. Car Stopped. Out of car. I look to the sky. It was the perfect night sky. Stars shining so brightly, gentle wind blowing, the perfect dark blue accompanying the stars, i raised my phone to try and capture the moment, but the camera couldn't catch the stars. Some moments just have to be saved in ur mind, i'm definitely gon take my grrl to see this night sky some place, sometime, and it'll be perfect =) Headed into the house, headed upstairs, slumped down after a quick shower and there wasn't even any memory of people arriving back, i was already fast asleep, and the lights were already out. Day 4.

Morning wake, actually, morning wakes* coz i woke at least 5 times before i actually woke up and got up too. Everyone was up already, excited and running around, my youngest niece high as ever, jumping and running around like there was fire beneath her feet hahahaha. Breakfast consisted of sweet biscuits, orange juice, milk, water, some asian desserts and coffee cheesecake which was EPIC. We found one of our uncles on google maps, sweeping his driveway which was the talk of the morning. A serious talk tho, until i started laughing coz well.... it was funny. So then we played pool again, before heading off to an apparently 'Little Taiwan' down town near Sunny Bank. And so we headed off.

PARKING WAS CRAZEHHHHHH, was like, no space to even TURN in the dayum place. Thai food, Viet food, Jap food, Korean food, Shang food, even Indian food, only thing i couldn't see was Taiwanese food! We got off the car and went for a walk, got to wear my sunnies today, well, coz we forgot it when we went movieworld hahahaha, but today was especially hot. Supermarket was the aim for the aunties while the uncles waited impatiently outside, the lil kiddos ran around to their toy shops to look for the cute things they could play with. Then we headed for a turn which would take us to 'Little Taiwan' and lo and behold. what we saw brought laughs to EVERYONE, it was a tiny supermarket called 'Little Taiwan' hahahaha, was good tho, we bought snacks for the way home or to our next destination theree, and then headed back to the cars.

Next stop, South Bank. Long strip by the coast with extra man made pools of all types and streets and streets of markets sellin' all types of things here and there. Had churros for the first time with cream and chocolate sauce. was pre-tty awesome food hahahahaha, then shopped purchase-less-ly and then finally ended up at La Via. 16 pizzas, 18-20 people. Was some pre-tty dayum good pizza i must say. All the pizzas were like they got vacuumed once they were put on the table, was all gone in under 20 minutes. But as it does when y'all havin' fun, time flew, and it was way too fast, but already time to say our goodbyes to the first few people we wouldn't be seeing for a while till the next time we visited them or they visited us. And so we headed back for our last sit down with everyone before we left for the airport with our stuff. Was awkward and felt a lil unreal, coz time had gone so fast, it didn't even feel like we went to Brisbane, and we already we're leaving. So the goodbyes were shared and off we went to the airport. Hoping the next time we come back would be soon rather than later.

And so, the 4 day holiday trip to see my town of birth and to attend my cousins wedding ended as we got off my uncle's car and said our last goodbye. Was a good holiday, and we did quite a bit for just the 4 days.

After havin' all that typed out, im kinda out of anything else to say, so i'll end it quick =P

It feels good to be back, but now it's back to reality and back to gettin' to business. Hope y'all been taking it easy while this mayne's been away. If you haven't then...


Take it easy,
Mr. Jyamaigo
