was a busy Monday

"Yesterday...
Yesterday was the day before today.
Yesterday will be today, when today becomes tomorrow."





a Monday Morning

5:30 am
Finally finished off my stuff.
Crawled into bed thinking, "I'm so dead tomorrow."

9:00 am
I was supposed to be up by now...

10:00 am
Frank called... to wake me the hell up!

10:45 am
Finally woke up... was groggy and grumpy to meet the smiling sun.
I dragged myself to the toilet to get a shower and a shave.
And, I ran out of toothpaste and hair wax.
The damn sun was still smiling at me

11:30 am
Arrived at Frank's place to start my busy, busy day.
We were going on a el grande' road trip with Sherls and Frank
"To Geelong, here we come!"





Geelong

Went down to Geelong for a visit and linked up with Sarah from SUBWAY.
She now works at the SUBWAY in Geelong.
Frank, Sherls and me... we went round and about Geelong.
We headed until the Waterfront at the bay.
In 2 words... Beautiful Scenery.
The place has changed so much since I was last there to see the Williamsons.

It was a bright sunny day but, with intermittant rain...
Fickle minded weather... like women.

So I had passed a lot of opportunities to grab good pictures.
The rain kept us indoors and the grey skies came and went.
But, I got a few of Sherls, Frank n me.

We were at La Parisien for lunch.
Beautiful food... some chilled sparkling mineral water.
Good friends... Sarah had joined us after work.
We all shared coffee and conversations.
What else could make this a better moment? subarashi jinsei

We left Geelong at about 3:00pm to head back to the city.
It seemed a really long drive back to Melbourne.





rest of the day...

Stopped at school for about 2 hours to get started on my assignment
Some... Java programming.
Am currently doing some Java J2EE spec stuff with sessions and EJBs.
The JBOSS EJB server deliveres web logic interfaces.
And is packaged with Tomcat webserver to serve the html interfaces.
A lot of theoretical stuff that I don't fully yet grasp.
I am planning on getting my J2EE certification at the end of the year.





dinner at frank's

Sat about watching Frank play the Punisher
I never understood why I never really finished the game.
Sherls made a beautiful soba salada for all of us.
What is it? Wheat soba noodle salad...
Then after, sat about for a bit waiting for Anvaar to call...
Wa eating mandarins and watching 'Who wants to be a millionaire?'
There were a couple of bogans who lost out because of a chemistry question... haha!

What is a chemical compund that is coloured purple? Potassium ____?____
Answer - Potassium permanganate, KMnO4, is a purple crystalline compound with a metallic sheen.




Anvaar, Gillian, Coffee and Cake

Linked up with Anvaar... Haha
Who apparently was waiting for me waiting for him...

"Strange is the way the wheels of the world revolves..."

Anyway, we ended up at Nocturrno's eating and talking.
He had brought Gillian along.
His new squeeze I reckon...
She is an amazingly warm and sunny Malaysian.
But then again, Malaysians (the weather) are often warm and sunny.

Anvaar, Gillian and I started trolling about for a new place to sit and hang out after.
Lygon was considered passe' cause' of 'employment' reasons.
And, Chapelli's was too far away...
We just couldn't be bothered.

We ended up at Lin Contro for coffee and cakes.
But the heating was rosak.
Stayed as long as we could in the freezing cold.
Then finally ended up going back home.





sidetracked for a bit...

While I was still in the city... bumped into Sha Sha and Ariel.
The girls really look very different when they are not all made up.
I had trouble recognizing them...
I think I ticked Sha Sha off, minor offence.
I think it was 'cause I did not recognize her 'cause she was not dolled up.
Or, it must have been something I said.
I think that to women, makeup is a little like 'war paint' or even 'emotional armour'
It sets up their mind set... a different frame of mind.

I find Ariel to be more attractive without make up.
A little less intimidating, perhaps...
I'll admit that, more often than not, I am intimidated when meeting super attractive, 'gorgeoooooous...' women face-to-face.
Without makeup... I think women look more human, less like a plastic mannequins.
(Barbie dolls!)
I think that the minor imperfections are that which makes us humans look alive.
I find the most delight in natural beauty...
Framed under soft morning sunlight...
But, I've gone off topic.

Yea... definately, Ariel is much more appealing to me without her make up.





caught up with Ho Seok at 7 Eleven


I bumped into Ho Seok on the way back.
Was driving home laong High St and I saw his head in a 7 Eleven.
So I stopped to say hello.





parting shots...


And that is all there is to it...
I enjoyed a fulfilling day, though fairly devoid of meaning.
