it's 11:28pm and my internet has been very conveniently dropping in and out all week
anyway, i'm going to zoom past with this entry so i can go sleep before midnight
it's kind of the same old same old, while at the same time, being a whole different year
ever since i've returned from the US, i've just basically been working
we've got a few changes in the company going on, with the recent downsizing leading to more work for everyone, the managers getting promoted since the GM's going to india, some new employees, etc etc
doesn't sound like much, but for a company with less than 15 people, it's some major change
gonna get some getting used to, and then...i'm thinking i'm going to have to leave to focus on my studies
i don't even want to think about how much i'll miss these guys at the moment
over the weekend we went camping, as a part of our yearly team bonding activities
and by camping, i mean camping! true blue aussie style with snags and the billy boiling some water for coffee. lol.
left the office after lunch and me and charity caught a ride with bob
we got lost 2 minutes into the trip.
nice one!
ended up getting to glenworth valley around 3:30pm
we set up the tents with beers in our hands and just kind of lounged around afterwards
one of the guys brought their guitars, and we sung random songs
then biggest mind squiggle ever when my manager started playing some jazz
i didn't know he was musical, but i shouldn't be surprised since he knows everything
but anyway, so unfair! he was really really good.
blueberry cruiser was delish~
we played some cricket, drank some more, barbequed aussie and hk-style
played the name game, drank some more, watched two of the girls freak out over a snake when they went up for a bathroom (simultaneously lolsy and scary)
we must have retouched the aeroguard about once per hour
good good times
sundried tomatoes with brie cheese was GOLD.
went to sleep a bit before 12 in the asian woman's tent (lol)
got stuck between charity and elayne
some of the others didn't sleep until 3, and i woke up to some of their laughing over some snoring
woke up the next day at around 8, feeling slightly tired, but more or less unscathed
we had brekkie and it was hilarious watching the sales manager crawling out of his tent with the biggest hangover of the century. hilarious.
we didn't really do much on that second day.
just poker and blowing bubbles. it rained a little bit, and once again the american poncho came into use. such a darling thing <3
got out on the second round for the first game; but did a bit better in the second with a bit of luck. the others got out pretty quickly and ended up playing against one of the new girls for what seemed like hours until we just called it a tie
their was a Fabio on the grounds, shirtless and riding a white horse bareback. it was glorious~
me and kina decided to make s'mores and bob tried to copy. but he failed. he thought the biscuit got toasted as well -.-
camping in the rain~
everyone left after a late dinner
me and kina ended up driving the new girl back to bondi beach and we had san churros for supper
got to know katy-ann a bit better
i think we scared her with our major singing in the car
got lost
sang sang sang
all the way home to castle hill
a good weekend.
parents are leaving soon
i'm kind of scared but at the same time, i know i can handle it
so we'll see how we go
still so many photos to process
less computer time shall come after all US stuff has been settled and finalised
donna.
