Anyone heading anywhere? Doing anything special? We're staying put. Bloody high gas prices *grumble, complain, cuss*

alamak....my lady....our puak ji buay gum leh. i was here this morning but didn't catch you. :(
summer plans? well, i am booked for 2 concerts in june. and then bbqs invitations have been pouring in. my friends have gotten their act together to open up their patios. my turn should come shortly. we bought a swing and got it assembled last evening. nice to sit in the backyard enjoying the cool evening breeze.
no travel plans yet. i am busy with assignments and if there's any hols at all, it has to be in august.
don't know about driving up country with soaring gas prices. but picnics at neighbouring parks will be nice.
that's about the summer plans for now.

Given time and budgetary constraints, I'm trying to decide between a trip to Seattle, and a trip down to Houston to visit an old college friend. I was in Seattle back in April of '06 and fell completely in love with that city, vowing to return soon for another visit. But I have not visited my college buddy since we graduated together in '91 and he moved to Texas.
Arrrgh! Need more time and money, dammit!

wah, ah niah ah........so lomantic ah?
yah, it's been nice. we were out on the deck last evening too, enjoying our swing. i am beginning to think that this might be the nightly ritual..........
peektures? of the swing? erm, when i open up my patio for bbq bah. but first i have to survive this weekend.
there is a street festival in my town this weekend. it's a popular touristy area. as many as 7 different genres of bands performing, the sidewalk sales, the hotdogs, bbq corns, street acts and a steam engine that takes us to another town.
my friends from the west are coming over, first to enjoy the street festival then adjourn to my house for dinner. so, i have to cook tomorrow 'cos it will be a busy saturday.
after this event, i can plan my own backyard party.
-
Having friends over sound so nice! Alas my backyard (if you can call a 12 x 15 concrete patio a backyard) is too utilitarian and tiny to have any sort of party. How I envy you! Peekchures lai hor.

That might be a problem come winter, unless you haul the swing into your living room at that time...

no time to sleep even ok. omg.......can barely keep my eyes open on *bleagh* days at werk. esp today. so bloody HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT! it was like...40 degrees celcius or close. and the office a/c isnt the best ><
other than work. been visiting relatives. and so-called-relatives. and other people. cos we've been away from toronto for so long. so now my mom is visiting everyone. >< at least she rented a car (bad time though because of the crazy gas prices. but what to do.......driving saves time >< )
have yet to call LS. keke. but seems like she's busy this weekend too anyway =p i PROMISE i'll call you some time! we drove by that restaurant the other day! remember...the one we went to but was closed last summer =p hahaha.
i'll be off to wonderland next saturday =D
and we're busy trying to keep the cousin from staying out too late cos he's getting into A LOT of trouble...=\seems like it's going to be a real hot summer in toronto. i'm hoping to spend (A LOT) of time in the basement to avoid the heat. keke :oops:
-

don't forget to check your tyre pressures and be aware that there are many traffic cops on the Vic section of the drive. They police the speed limits quite strictly. So what do you intend to do in Adelaide?
-
yeah i heard abt the strict enforcement of speed limits there and infamous hook right turns in the city area hurhurhur....
In Adelaide, we will just explore the city and i guess the Barossa area where the vineyards are and maybe pop by to Kangaroo Island just to see see...we have not decided on the agenda actually haha cos our main purpose is the Great Ocean Road...

actually there are not many hook right turns in Adelaide, only in Vic hehehe.
If you are going to the barossa, you have to look up the Jenke vinyards, its a small one, but it has in my opinion one of the best wines in Adelaide. Better than some of the bigger names. Also try Chateau Tanunda, its pretty good for its sticky wines.
