leslie peacock.: February 2009

Woke up at this hour

and took a 2 hour drive to

breath-taking isnt it....

Byron Bay.. Sun Rise.. It was so worth the drive, even though we kinda missed the sun rise but we caught the second part of it (: who knew Australia was so beautiful...

Byron Bay's Light House

where we had our brekky

and met the 'locals' (:

everyone was zonked out by the end of the trip.. left the house at abt 3.15am and only got back at 11.30am... crashed till abt now.. might finally get my run! haha.. the cold is still bugging me though but it aint a bad one.. nose cant decide what it wants to do.. one minute its blocked, the other its running... just a nasty cough to get rid off and I'll be as good as new! (:

Uni offically starts tmr... crikey! well for me its tues hee.. Ive got a 3 day week, cant really complain abt that now can I haha...

wish me luck*

Honest... (: *sniffles*

This was were we tried rock climbing... emphasis on the word tried haha.. its much harder than it looks! much much harder...!! dont have the upper body strength plus no lunch.. that was my excuse for not making to the top haha...

The rive boat cruise thingy.. no one really paid attention to the whole river crusie part.. jsut the bar i think haha.. met a couple of people from Glasgow Uni doing Law, Diane has been hanging ard Singaporeans haha so she was so glad to have some Glaswegian banter going on.. (:

Most of the students on board, well all of them really, were on exchange so it felt like I was back at International Night in glasgow haha.. ppl from all over the world.. mostly americans really.. but here's ppl from oxford, france and canada.. (:

Was hooked onto jelly shots.. they are amazing I tell you.. if i ever were to have a party, I'll definitely be making them hahaha... nuff said abt the rest of the night.. (:

Went to watch this film with the girls today...

Cinema at South bank... felt like I was about to watch an opera or an orchestra play haha.. the screen was MASSIVE~!!!!!

What's my take on the film... I enjoyed all 150 minutes of it.. didn feel like it lasted for 150 minutes cos so much was happening in the film.. Single girls should go watch it, you know for eductional purposes haha.. single guys should watch it too... couples dont have to bother.. U've already got someone haha.. so ya.. the brush off, the signs and signals to look out for, all noted.. (: the film basically points out that most if not all men are asses, except for the few exceptionals... haha.. again filling our heads with the idea that happy-endings do happen and that our prince charming will come.. eventually.. haha might take a year or 2 or even more.. yikes!

Right.. remember me mentioning a little monster that Im living with.. well this is he.. haha the young pup name's Russell... he runs, he licks, he humps, he poops, he misses the papers when he pees, he's everything you would want in a dog hahaha... and more.. he's just the cutest thing ever.. loves the attention, stealing things off my bed and bringing what ever he steals to the living room haha.. but you just gotta love him... ♥

See my phone sitting at the back of the picture.. Russell went straight for it after this picture was taken and brought it straight to the living room.. this afternoon it was my shorts and my bangle and my sunglasses haha...

Always look forward to coming home to this little poochie... ♥

Did miles of walking today.. blistered feet... headed to town, walked abt, headed to uni, walked abt uni, headed to kangeroo point for bbq which was miles away from uni, ended up rock climbing which was so hard, walked back to ferry point which again was miles away, went grocery shopping and back for some guitar heroes action.. haha what a day....

Well this is the exterior of the house.. garage is round the back...

the street just outside the house.. gotta love the weather...

Our mode of transport to uni... (:

Too much walkin today... plus a few rounds on the guitar heroes.. ooo not forgetting rock climbing! yikes... no wonder Im tired.. haha ya la ya la old already body cannot keep up... (:

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day yday ♥ (: Girls getting spoiled rotten by their boyfriends... my vday was spent house hunting around Brisbane.. not the most fun thing to do but it has to be done.. meeting creepy landlords and all.. yikes.. Zoe, Diane and I kinda took up most of Avril and Bryan's day.. felt really bad about it.. but they've been nothing but amazing to us.. cheers!

Had Dim sum for lunch yday ... not one of Diane's favs Im afraid haha...

I've moved out of halls at Strathclyde... went home for chinese new year, which was awesome!! I love being home.. love love LOVE being home with friends and family... (: Diane who's going on exchange with me, paid Singapore a short short visit.. and now am starting to settle into my room in the garage.. YES u heard me.. the garage haha and I love it haha... bunking in with Diane.. the banter, the laughs.. liking my new surroundings very much, the house, the ppl in it.. and definitely the little monster (:

When I was back home for cny, I baked quite a bit.. Invited Grace, her newest addition (baby Harel) and Vikki and her husband Andy over for high tea.. Made scones (which Mubina would be proud of hee..) and scottish pancakes.. (:

Diane arrived on the 6th of feb just in time for Carl's farewell party at Butter.. I thought she would be knackered from her plane ride over but she was well up for it after coming home from the airport, took a shower and out the door haha.. well impressed... friends were awesome with her.. made her feel comfortable and welcomed.. thanks guys.. party was great.. good company, good music.. amazed we actually made it home hahah...

Diane and I did the whole tourist thing, sight seein and all haha got to see a lot of Singapore and I think she had a good time (:
