Update Time

I’m getting pretty slack with my updates, apologies to Robyn, Krisa, Tayo and Trang .. my 4 lovely readers hehe.

Last Friday I picked up the car and then proceeded to drive my sister into Richmond for her bf’s birthday. I miss Bob, but Reginald goes well and has lots of power.

On the following Saturday I picked up Krisa and we went for a cruise down Beach Rd to St Kilda. The day was perfect so there were heaps of bike riders out and about. We had lunch at Street Cafe (I think) .. I had a delicious chicken pasta. On Sunday I cleaned the house. Dhillon had gone to the Grampians with his mates so I had to entertain myself.

On Tuesday I took Miss Ninja to the vet on my way to work .. she was getting de-sexed this day. When I picked her up in the evening she had a little white bandage around her leg where they had put the drip in. It was so cute! She also has some stitches in her tummy that will need to come out this Friday.

Thursday evening Dhillon and I went to watch Angels and Demons. It was pretty good, better than the first one I think, seeing as I slept through the first one on DVD. On Friday Krisa and I went out to eat at Taco Bill. We both had burritos, followed by ice cream nachos and flan .. it was super yummy.

Saturday morning I got up early-ish to meet up with Kelly at the gym for Body Combat class .. my arms and back are feeling it today! In the afternoon I picked up Dhillon and he drove us to Chadstone for some window shopping and a coffee with his mates. We came home to feed Ninja and then went to the local pub for a meal and to watch the footy.When we got home we watched some episodes of Merlin in bed before sleeping at 1am.

Today Krisa came to my house and we went and met Jenny, Kelly and her friend Elizabeth in the city for Yum Cha. It was awesome, as usual. After face stuffing Krisa and I went to watch Night at the Museum 2 at Melbourne Central. It was really good .. and now I am home, and rather tired :)

Hi

So I suppose I should give an update seeing as it has been 2 weeks. Last weekend I think Dhillon and I went to watch Star Trek. I am not a Trekki but I quite enjoyed the movie. The only thing was Spok. The actor playing him is also in the TV show Heroes, his character in that is Syler who is the evil bad guy so I kept expecting Spok to turn out to be the bad guy. He didn’t though!

Work has been good. I am doing less payroll and more helping with issues and projects. With the new girl starting tomorrow I will be moved out of WA payroll permanently and officially be a part of the Payroll Resource Team.

This weekend started early for myself and Krisa. We both had booked in an annual leave day on Friday to hit a day spa. I picked her up from her mum’s work at 9.30 and we drove into Docklands for some breakfast and shopping at Harbourtown. Krisa bought a few bags worth of stuff while I was not feeling very inspired. At 12pm we drove back into the city and made our way to Sakura Lounge for an afternoon of pampering. Whilst walking we bumped into Linda and Ben who were out and about.

We started off with a half hour foot massage followed by an hour long full body shiatsu massage and finally an hour long facial. It was all awesome, my favourite was the massage. When I sat up from that I felt like I had been asleep for days. The facial was very relaxing too. When we finished at the spa we caught the tram up to DFO for some shopping. I then realised I had left my jewellery at the spa so we had to go back there to pick it up, before retuning to DFO for some shopping. This time I made a purchase, some new pants for work from Portmans.

After shopping we walked back to Crown to get the car. We were trying to organise a dinner with Linda but unfortunately she couldn’t find anyone to drive her out so we had to re-schedule. Krisa and I ended up eating at LaPorchetta in Heathmont. We both had pasta and garlic bread and were full! Once we got home we fluffed up the pillows on my bed and hopped in to watch the finale of Americas Next Top Model Season 12 (yay Teyona!) and the first 5 episodes of The Hills season 1. By this time it was midnight and we were both ready to zonk out after a long relaxing day!

Saturday morning we woke up rather early, showered and got dressed and out for the day. After breakfast at Maccas we picked up Dhillon and Gurpreet and headed out to Honda in Narre Warren (Gurpreet lives out there). I test drove the new City which was nice, we also looked at a second hand Accord Euro but it had leather seats which I really didn’t want. Dhillon thinks I’m weird cos of that, but leather is uncomfy. It gets hot in summer, cold in winter, you sweat into it or it burns you .. ergh. Anyway we decided to keep shopping and so we dropped Gurpreet home before heading back to Doncaster.

At Doncaster Honda we spotted a couple of nice cars and I finally decided on a 08 Civic vti-l. I wasn’t necessarily ready to buy on the day but this was a car too good to be true. It is less than a year old and has only gone 400 kms. The reason for this is it was originally at a Honda dealership that was burnt down. 95% of their cars were write offs so their insurance company wrote them all off. The guy who had them sold them to other dealerships and I was lucky enough to walk in there on the right day. After some bargaining and a test drive I signed on the dotted line for my very close to new car! I get to pick it up on Friday, and I will be trading Bob in so someone else can enjoy him :)

Saturday night Dhillon picked Krisa and me up and we went into the city for 2 birthdays. We stopped by a bar in China Town but Dhillon’s friend was running late and hadn’t arrived so we couldn’t have a birthday drink with her. We then drove to Seven and met up with Michael Boyen for his birthday celebrations. Dhillon’s friends met us there later in the evening. We had a great time, Krisa and I were both rather drunk and danced till our feet bled .. almost literally! Krisa spent the night again and I drove her home today before stopping by Kelly’s house for afternoon tea with Jenny and Erryn.

Friday evening I hit the gym hard, then Dhillon called to say we were going out to dinner with Raj and Manisha for Manisha’s birthday. Krisa came along with us cos she was originally going to come to the bbq with me. We ate at Vic Harbour in Docklands. I had the Thai beef salad which was yummy, followed by deserts shared with Krisa: lime crème Brule and mango panacotta. All this was accompanied by wine and a cocktail (French martini) courtesy of Mikey. Drove everyone home and Dhillon stayed over. He was on the couch watching the IPL cricket and didn't come to bed until 3.30am!

Saturday we got up and I drove Dhillon home after stopping by Aldi for some grocery shopping. In the afternoon I did the laundry and cleaned up my drawers, got rid of a few clothes I don’t wear anymore. In the evening Dhillon picked me up and we went to Nathalie’s house in Mitcham for her birthday party. Saw some of the old Stellar people, along with old high school friends. It was great to catch up with them all. Dhillon had another party to go to so I stayed on, drinking many beers, and talking crap. Nat drove me home at 3am.

Sunday was a day of a hangover headache so I stayed on the couch and watched Twilight, for the first time, and How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. Both were good.
