The end of another visit from home

Remember how I was feeling down because my family left Sydney and I felt like there was nothing else to look forward to? Well, guess what…barely two weeks after they left, my good friend, Elaine announced that she was going to visit me (at a really short notice!!) And she came at a really good time actually because we had the long Easter holidays, so I actually had days off to bring her around.

It was really great! Now that I have a car, getting around seems so much easier and we can pretty much go anywhere we want at anytime! She’s not much of a nature girl…so we skipped the Blue Mountains, Jenolan Caves, Hunter Valley and Kiama. We mainly went around to the ‘cool’ hip and happening places around Sydney. We spent the whole day at Manly…just cause the beach was beautiful and the shopping was quite good over there. We also went around the city..basically Chinatown, Darling Harbour, Circular Quay. She got to meet my friends as well!! Essentially, all we did was eat, shop, sightsee, take loads of pics, eat, shop, more pics, more eating and more shopping!! I had a great timeee…if she wasn’t here, I think the Easter holidays would have gone by uneventfully.

Ohh…did I mention that I went to Eason Chan and George Lam’s concert in Sydney? I’m not much of a George Lam’s fan but I’m a HUGGEE Eason fan.. I had actually been to Eason’s concert 2 years ago…so I thought I’d be going just to listen to Eason anyway. True enough…I only enjoyed Eason’s part of the show and the rest were just a drag. Even the collaborations between them were not that great…but anyway, I’m glad I went coz he’s a mad singer and I just love his songs especially when he sings them live!! He’s having a solo concert in KL in August..I wish I can go to that one! My brother already bought the tickets and he got discounts as well?!?!? Anyway, so that was pretty much what I did over the last week.

Now, there’s a huge to-do-list for myself ..I need to do laundry, clean up my room, get back to tutoring classes, get all my winter cloths out, prepare for my English test so that I can get my PR, get more sleep, get my physio friend to loosen this annoying knot on my neck, help my friend choose her bridal gown, help myself choose a dress to her wedding, do my monthly retail therapy…but seriously, I need to clean up the mess in my room first…..like a pig sty…paper bags left right centre…books papers everywhere…there’s like 10 bags on the floor and 5 pairs of shoes lying around downstairs…

And after I’ve done all of the above, it’s about time for another friend who’s coming for a visit in June…with my new laptop…yayy!!!
