It's been a really long time since I've entered a new post on this blog, and well... there's a really good reason for that! I'll give you a hint, it starts with s and ends with l.
Things have been really crazy these past few weeks, and assignments, projects and everything are really starting to make their annoying presence known. I have been out around town to do grocery shopping every week, but that's about it.
But.... Pretty cool things have been happening around town these days. First there was the lovely lunar eclipse, where the moon turned red and bloody! Must have been a field day for all the vamps out there. :D
Next, my lovely juniors arrived at our doorstep (ok, we picked them up) and we had to make some accommodations to additional people living with us. It is not an easy journey, and I can forsee it's going to get a little worse before it gets better.
Thirdly, APEC is happening right at my doorstep. Ok, so the rest of Sydney isn't exactly thrilled, but hey, how often do I get to be in a place where protests are erupting? Singapore really didn't count, because we had extra efficient policing. Remember our 'embarrassing governmental u-turn'? Haha... I haven't forgotten. :)
I'm going out for a bit tomorrow since the Aussie government has declared Friday a public holiday since APEC is on. I do owe myself a little relaxation after mugging for a test today afterall right? I'll remember to bring my camera and take lots of informative pictures. I do have to get around to uploading my last batch of photos though... Someone please remind me of them...
Life has been generally good in Sydney. Glebe is safe, wonderful and exciting. I'm as myself as ever, generally unsociable, generally tired but finding myself more educated as the weeks go by. Quite an exciting find that. Never thought I'll admit to it, but education in Sydney is an education in life itself.
But before I end, a huge thanks goes out to Liang Jun, Glory and my lovely sister who surprised me with a package of photos and cards! Thanks guys, you really kept the secret well. :D It took a little long to get me, because it was opened by customs. No doubt they thought the photos posed a security risk. Heh.
Have a nice weekend all!! Hope the weather remains as it has been. Cold is my thing, the sun is great, but a nice cooling wind is always welcome.
