NEW BLOG

After procrastinating heaps, I've finally decided to merge the xanga blog to my own platform using wordpress. Very common blog platform but a bit more customisation allowed. Also allows you to comment without registration.

So from now on...

NO MORE XANGA

Busy Week in Brisbane

This week and a bit has been quite hectic for me, trying to fit in an assignment, some study, organisation, house cleaning, birthday events, and lots of driving. 


Desk full of paper


Nice sunny day outside but have to study and finish up assignments inside -__-'


A good friend returned to Brisbane from Sydney for a weekend trip and so I ended up bumming around with him for most of the weekend.  Driving, eating etc. 












Also celebrated my mother's 50th birthday.  50 already means Im growing old.  Went to dinner with the family at a restaurant we used to visit all the time when we lived in Cannon Hill 16 years ago.  Traditional style chinese dishes such as Peking Duck, Lettuce wrap, some really awesome breads, fish, shredded fillet beef and the super tasty spicy and sour soup.











Whipped up a dish the other night: Tomato + Pork baked fried rice.


 


My Work Place

As I was closing up at work late one night, I took the opportunity to take a few snaps of where I work, and the immense size of the pharmacy I run on a day to day basis.  These pharmacy warehouses are now quite popular in Australia, with Chemist Warehouse being the biggest of the type.  However, I don't work for Chemist Warehouse, but a smaller group that also operate a similar model. 

This shop is ridiculously large and it houses just about everything.

Plasma TV that doesn't display anything because I am too lazy to design a powerpoint slide to go on it.

Decision Making

So some of you may know that I am currently making some of the biggest and toughest decisions in my life.  I thought I have done all my decision making already but there just seems to be more and more.  So much to do in so little time.  I now have to decide whether or not I want to upgrade my phone plan/mobile.  I took a quick trip to the Optus shop and found that no phone fancied me better than my trusty 903sh.  The photos it takes are just amazing in comparison to all the other rubbish phones out there.  There is not one phone I tried that can outperform and look better in my opinion.

But I feel it is time to move on, but just seems that it is not possible to find one I like except maybe the LG KU990.  The camera is a bit disappointing and the interface is a bit cumbersome, but it seems to be the best of the bunch.  So reviews I read lately and found that it is pretty widely accepted as a decent phone.  But as I read more about phones, I find this upcoming release by HTC, the HTC Diamond, to be possibly the best phone on the market yet, a clear competitor to the Apple iPhone. 



The LG KU990: Touch screen and touch pad.  5MP camera blah blah blah...





The HTC Diamond Touch:  This phone has the biggest hype at the moment.

While I was browsing these tech sites, I came across this random post about bras now being able to charge mobile phones, iPods and the like.  What do they think of next?  Water packs in panties so you can drink if thirsty? -_-'

Driving Hell in Brisbane

At this point in time, there is road works on every road you can possibly imagine.  It is absolutely ridiculous and utter bullocks.  I can understand the notion of wanting to improve roads for a growing Brisbane.  But to try to repair every road around me lacks of a bit of planning and consideration. 

I drive down south to Logan and there are roadworks on the Rochedale side of Logan Rd, I drive out to Market Square, Sunnybank and there is a resurface going on at McCullough Rd, which nearly the only big straight road that connects me to Sunnybank directly.  Then when I go to work, there are road works around all of Kuraby.  There are roads to Inala side of town and the Ipswich Hwy is also getting resurfaced.  To top it all off, both freeways, the Gateway and the M1 are getting repaired.  Then in the city, there is ongoing road works in the city and around New Farm area.  So pretty much everywhere I go, I have to wait forever. 

Not only are there road works everywhere, the traffic has been appalling lately and I experienced the full wrath of it today when driving around the entire Brisbane.  I went to UQ in the morning from southside, then headed home, headed out to the airpot, then through Eagle farm and New Farm through the city to Indooroopilly shopping centre.  Then back again to the southside etc etc...

Basically look at the map:






On a side note, I found these awesome USB hubs when surfing.  Speaking of which, I need some USB hubs.
