The week (so far) in review

It's only Thursday (wooh! nearly end of the week!) but it feels like Monday. The ANZAC public holiday was yesterday and by golly I needed the day off. Originally I was going to do some sectioning, but I was convinced by Grand Empress Katie that I should take the day off. Or at least that I should take the day off after going bar-crawling with her on Tuesday to celebrate the sacrifice that the Anzacs made so that I may have the freedom to go to uni and do work.

So Tuesday ended up being Friday - we crawled into a number of bars and I made the mistake of telling people that if the days *clocked over*, the drinks count would technically begin anew. So despite my best efforts, the total number of drinks came in at six. Or five because apparently a jug of Pimm's doesn't count. Katie's review of what we did is here.

I also finally got my flight booking for London. This made me sooooooooooooo angry. I had been forewarned that a certain travel agency (jiggle these letters around to get the name of the company - AST), was slightly more expensive but to use them as a guide to costs. Well those assholes quoted me $2,700 on Singapore. When I expressed my disbelief, I was smugly informed that it was the only flight and that many ppl book their flights months in advance. WHAT?! Like FOUR/FIVE months isnt enough notice?!?! As you can imagine, I was somewhat unhappy. Especially since I was going to submit the quote to the department for reimbursement but everyone said $2.7k was excessive, even for Singapore - and I was told I'd have trouble recouping costs. So I journeyed into the city and got a more reasonable $2.24k flying Emirates. Wooh, I get to stop in Dubai!!!

And to make yesterday seem even more like Sunday, I went to a BBQ at Ruffey Park, organised by Jade. I rocked up 1.5 hours late, ate some sausages, demonstrated some choke holds on Dirty Roy, and then watched Team Asia play Team Europe (some Greek guys & their kids who were also having a bbq). Team Euro won 3-0...they even widened the goals to give us a chance but lets just say that the ppl you'd think were a liability (i.e. the kids) were the hardest ones cos they were fearless!

Thank god, only a few more days before the weekend again!
