Holidays are WHEEEEEE!!!!!!
Dec. 4th, 2009 04:45 pmWell, work finally ran dry so I'm currently not in Cairns *massive grin*
I'm in Brisbane. I flew down here on Wednesday and I fly back to Cairns next Wednesday. It's good to be back (I grew up here). I've spent the last couple of days poking around Borders and JB Hi-Fi...yes, I know we have a JB in Cairns (and it's actually better than the two in the city here in Brisbane!!! Which shocked me, I can tell you!) but it's nice to see what they're selling down here. E.G: portable printer (this thing is tiny! I'd love to have one of those. Saves me fighting with the network at home to try and print stuff.
...unfortunately it's about $500 I don't have right now.
Also, I'm pretty much finished Christmas shopping, I think.... I hope. Dad's a pain in the arse to shop for, but I think I have something now. All hail the gift voucher!
I found a nice take-away shop in the Myer Centre that does food like I haven't seen since I was living in China. They actually feel they have to give me a disclaimer whenever I buy something there, which I find hilarious! "This is actually very traditional Asian food. If you don't like it bring it back" O.o ... that's what I got told the first time. Then today, when I bought my lunch, they told me something along a similar line. I just looked at them funny and reassured them that, yes, I knew what it was that I was ordering. I did live in China for 13 months. I like the traditional stuff. Prefer it, actually.
I'd say they've had a few people complaining that it doesn't taste like the Chinese food they're familiar with. Personally I've been missing it.
Oh, and they've got this Pearl Tea chain here in Brissy now, Easy Way. They do Honey Milk Tea!!!! I <3 that stuff! You just can't find it up in Cairns, so I've been drinking it like it's going out of fashion.
So, the weather here's not too bad. A bit warm during the day (all hail Air-Con!) but it's cool at night. I actually had a blanket on the bed last night!
Bought myself Super Mario for my DS yesterday, I <3 it. I used to play it on my friend's Nintendo wa-ay back in Primary School. It's brining back some memories...only... I keep bloody dieing!!!!! *laughs*
Also got myself two t-shirts today at Jay Jay's. One of them is of Grimlock. I <3 Grimlock! The other is of Megatron. I'm also eyeing off the Starscream one they're selling at the moment. $20 for a t-shirt's not bad.
Anyway, that's what I've been up to the last few days. I'm headed off to Dreamworld this weekend (Kinda like the Aussie version of Disneyland. There's a lot of similarities).
