From the River to the Sea...

Just had the last week off and boy has it been relaxing!

Got off night shifts on Monday morning and set off on another adventure with some friends from church! We headed down south to Stanwell Tops and the scenic cliff drive for a Labour Day day away! The sun was shining and although half asleep for most of it, it was so nice to be outside enjoying the great weather for once! We found a nice small beach near Austinmer and I enjoyed a nap on the sand in the shade whilst the boys went for a dip. Afterwards, we headed to Thirroul for lunch and another nap on a nice patch of grass! Alas the day couldn't last forever and we headed back to Sydney, longing for the next public holiday!

Spent Tuesday and Wednesday doing some admin stuff, some laundry (have to fend for myself with mum and dad gone overseas!), and other random errands. Had dinner with Di and 2 of her workmates on Tuesday night and on Wednesday night saw Miss Saigon with Di's brother and sister in law at Star City's Lyric Theatre! It was awesome! Hadn't seen it before and never heard the music but it was quite moving!

On Thursday, spent the day with Teng! We ventured out of the eastern suburbs up north this time to Thornleigh for some Malaysian cuisine and yummy cendol at Makan @ Alice's! Then drove up to Brooklyn and hired a tin boat out on the Hawkesbury for 2 hours! It was awesome cruising around the river and we found a nice little spot to drop anchor and kick back to enjoy the water view and a ginger beer! After returning our boat for the arvo, we stopped off at Chatswood on the way home and did a spot of shopping. Also grabbed some dinner at the foodcourt - my favourite atm, fish burger! - before heading home to watch Notting Hill on dvd!



Today mum and dad returned from Malaysia! Brought back all sorts of goodies! Alas, I have to work tomorrow but man, it's been a great week!!!
