Final days in Australia

Just read Erika's blog, she's started up a new myspace account with all her music on it... you guys should definitely check it out! She's pretty talented! (keep in mind that its just a home recording) I'd love to see how they sound in a professional studio! She even wrote a song for me and Isabella!!  Anyway, check them out here! Enjoy... and Comment!!

Just a warning... the rest of this blog is kind of pointless and boring.. haha

I've been back in Adelaide for 5 days already, its going so quick... just another 2 days until I leave and I don't have that much left to do, so either I thought I had a whole lot more to do that I actually do... or I've totally forgotten to do something... I'm hoping its the first of the two. Haven't been doing much at all really, just organising the last few small details of my trip and trying to decide what I want to pack (emphasis on the trying). I'm hoping to go with less than 20kg.

Today flew by, Mitch n Laurel came around for lunch at Mum's n then we moved most of the furniture out of the house in preparation for the floors to be polished! Its gonna look so good when its finished! Way better than the ugly, 30 year old yellow and brown carpet that was there when we moved in (no offence mum, not that you'd take any, cause I know you hated it too).  Staying at my Bro's place tonight, just watched a movie n played some games.. Same as usual, but its good to be here for a bit before I leave.

Tomorrow is gonna be full with buying the last few things I need, some souvenirs, a book for the ACICIS library and a trip to the chemist, and anything else I seem to be forgetting right now.

Well anyway, I'm gonna leave it at that..

Next time you hear from me.. I'll probably be in Jogja.

16 days and counting

Well, time really has flown by. Gone are the days of 2007! Happy belated new year everyone! I’m in Queensland at the moment, been here for the last 20 days, spent Christmas and new years here with my dad and two brothers, it has been really good so far. Christmas was good, although our plans of a BBQ on the beach were ruined by a huge downpour of rain, but we still had fun just hanging around the house and eating too much food! I was spoiled way too much this year! I got some CD’s, DVD’s, games, clothes, a book and a crazy thing called a ‘bop it’ .. Its REALLY addictive! Haha. Haven’t been getting up to much really, a lot of relaxing, shopping, mucking around, going to movies, visiting rellies, cooking, going to the beach, fishing, and went out to Marian Weir which was cool… well.. I guess that is a fair few things huh.. and there is still time for more!

Anyways...Nathan and Mitchell both went back to Adelaide today, so its just me and Dad for the rest of the holiday. I have another 10 days here before I get back to Adelaide, then only a week before I leave for Indonesia! Hope its enough time to get everything organised!!

Tech News: haha... My long awaited student loan finally came through, and I am now the owner of a shiny, new macbook pro! Don’t wanna be a ‘fanboy’ but its a pretty awesome computer. (Well, what I have discovered of it so far anyway)... I also got a new digital camera, its so small, not much bigger than my phone! (Sony DSC T200 if anyone cares) Unlike my last one, it easily fits in my pocket, it’s much less annoying and takes great pics! Means I’ll actually WANT to take it with me! Haha. I’ve still got a fair few things I need to buy for Indo tho!

Well, I think thats all for me.
