Hi all,
Just a quick update while i’m on the internet at work, we STILL haven’t got internet at home…it’s become so painful! It’s been well over a week, bordering on two…me and Andy are wandering around aimlessly like lost souls in an analog sea. We had to RING pizza hut to make our order the other day instead of using the usual website ordering system…
What’s strange is we’re starting to find other stuff to do like on the weekend we bought a 1000 piece puzzle (the picture is a whole bunch of smarties so it’ll be hard to do) and we managed to get the border around it done. It’ll be interesting to see if we get back to it once internet is back within our reach.
Stuff we’ve done lately:
- Andy built my parents a really solid archway for the bottom of the garden where the path forks.
- We hung out with Andrea heaps, Rhyl’s been away somewhere doing stuff.
- Went on mini bushwalks (a few hundred metres..)
- Watched heaps of movies and sat around…
- Played heaps of pool…
Ok home time, byes!

Happy Fathers Day to all the awesome fathers in our life! Keep up the good work.
Me and Andy joined my family for a Fathers Day dinner at a chinese restaurant in Eastwood. Eastwood is about a ten minute train ride away from our place (but a 20 minute drive!) and the place we ate at is usually packed at lunch because their Yum Cha is so good.
So what did you guys do for fathers day?

Sup all Sup all!
Smily and myself had a nice weekend.
slept in lots both days….
got the clothes washed and floor vacuumed….
Got a few bits and pieces from ikea… lol we will not be going next weekend tho, that would make it 4 weekends in a row…
Paid for the pool table on saturday…
Oooh friday we went and checked out Annabelles new appartment! its quite flash, 19 floor with views of the city. Lol looking over the edge its definitely high enough…
We are going somewhere with smily’s family for fathers day, nothing is booked so im sure we’ll be waiting ages….
Jojo called on friday which was nice. doh… i was meant to call her back on saturday… whoops!
Anyways, toodles time!
Andy
Goood Morning ppl,
Another Friday morning already! Amazing! Time really is flying! Must be having fun!
Plans for this weekend… Pay for billiards table… finish setting up the apartment…. bring the last of Sumali’s furniture from her parents place… that’s the stuff out of the ordinary!
Ooh, my assistant has got the job at Parramatta, but the area manager won’t approve it until he trains a new person in the receivable section of the store. I’m getting a new assistant which is sweet. He’s guy who has been in the receivable section for about a year now, his my age, married, got a kid. Much more mature and responsible. I think we’ll make some really good progress!
Well its 5:30am now, I had best get some brekkie and head off to work!

Hello Hello,
Sorry guys, i have been tardy again with the posting. Last time i said to myself i’d never let it go two days without blogging. Ha…
Annnyways, lets see…. Ooh, work is heaps different now, the guy who interviewed and hired me has been forced to resign… The business still wasn’t making budget so…. Lol must make sure i never become a branch manager…. Also my assistant never got his CPM role, so now his go to an interview to be transfered to the Parramatta branch. So sad, too bad :-p Also, the plumbing warehouse dude has also applied to be transfered the Marrylands store. This is a shame as he’s a good worker and friend. But to be fair, marry lands is walking distance to his home, and he’d get paid the same for a lot less physical work….
I’m still doing well at my work, the area manager has been spending a lot of time at my store as we have been without senior management. He offered me a position in Darwin to work for 2 weeks as they are going to be in need of an experianced branch assistant up there in October. I’m not really right for that as i have spent less than 10minute on the front counter and its a purely plumbing store, so insteading of drowning i turned it down. A shame, as i could have caught up with Ray with free travel and accommodation, but yeah still nice to be offered…
Me and smily are alone! our room mate has moved out! we have been a bit bad… Today we put a deposit on a $3998.00 billiard table at B&B Billards… We haggled them down to $3600 and upgraded accessory pack… We’ll get it delivered within two weeks… I know, were bad… Its flash as… Just uploaded a pic of the style. We are getting a 7′ table, so it’ll have 4 legs, not 6, burgandy felt and dark walnut stain. Its the most upmarket 7′ table they make…
Okay, time for bed! chat latter peeps!

Just realised I forgot to link to pics of Ray’s visit, so i’ve added another album down the side called "Friends".
Hello First of all thanks to everybody who wished me a happy birthday in one way or another, it was really weird, some ppl phoned or sms’d, some ppl left comments on this blog, others left comments/items in facebook, (hehe Jojo sent me a hippo). I have to say i’ve never felt so in touch with technology before!
Speaking of technology, Andy got me an awesomely beautiful computer case, its really beautiful and i love it, i’ll post a picture of it when i get home (i’m writing this at work). He also got me a snazzy power supply and my parents got me a graphics card so Andy ended up pulling my computer apart and we’re using my old case for the file server or something and he left me to put my computer together again with the new bits. Poor Annabelle came home to see our mess everywhere and the next day her dad came around to help her get some stuff. He always only sees our apartment when its messy! Speaking of Annabelle she’ll be staying for an extra week while the tenant living where she’s moving to moves out.
We went to Ocean Seafood Restaurant in the piazza at Towers which was nice, I got a strange meal with cubes of feta cheese in the nice and prawns and peeled carrots…it sounds awful but it tasted great, everybody enjoyed their meals except my dad but he got the fish and fish is usually yucky. Andy had the fish and chips liked. My mum made a really nice cake with marshmallow cream and rose petals, it looked like a gigantic edible porcupine.
On a serious note the garage downstairs where we keep the car and motorbike got broken into and 5 cars had their windows smashed in. It was pretty shocking. Apparently somebody left the front door open so anybody could’ve gotten in. Too bad the building is so well insulated against noise or we might’ve heard something. I’ve always parked my car inside the garage assuming its safer in there but i guess not…I guess living next to a train station increases the incidence of ferals mooching around.

Hi guys, it’s good to hear you doing other things besides computer, you should frame the jigsaw when you finished it. Sometimes they can look very impressive. Dad’s doing well after the operation. He is being very good, over the last 6 weeks has lost over 30kg. Monica’s been to Adelaide, she stayed with Jo a few days. Did you hear she has got Engaged. Which is fantastic. Catch you later, bye luv ya.
