Well, that was a lovely trip to Australia.

I just got back from 2 weeks of shivering in Sydney and Melbourne. Was fantastic.
Spent over a thousand bucks. I feel poor now.

My thoughts are also quite.. fragmented at the moment, as you can tell.
ok.. *takes a deep breath*

Holiday Recap

Sydney -

Spent most of the time catching up with Andy/Delia/Preetam. Donated some money to the casino. Attended Melvin's graduation (like, finally).

Melbourne -

Stayed at a backpacker's (Cooee at the St Kilda. Lovely place!), but paid premium price for a twin, private ensuite room.

Donated MORE money to the casino.

Rented a car and Melvin drove us to Ballarat, an old town which flourished during the gold rush, and we spent a very very lovely day at Souvereign Hill pretending we were back in the 1800s.

Saw PENGUINS! loads and loads of them scurrying across the beach at night. I love how the penguins gather at the edge of the water, then run as a group for their lives across the beach, into the grass. The slower ones tend to speed up after they realise they've been left behind (wait for meee!! Wait for meeee!! *zips forward*) Some fall asleep while walking back to their burrows :P absolutely adorable. One group got harrassed by seagulls and retreated quickly back into the ocean. haha.

Back in SG -

Paid $500 deposit for a westie. I feel poor now. Will have to pay another $800 when I pick her up in 2 weeks. Melvin wants to call her Misty. My vote is on Genie. What say you?

We bought Warhammer Online today. It's been patching for 4 hours now. And still at 83% *growl* I'm going to go for the Archmage, while Melvin's going for Shadow.. something. shadowdancer? and Jeremy's going for some tank class (he hasn't decided)

Jen/Kf: if you read this, come join us on Warhammer Online!
