Spicy
Yesterday I went with work colleagues to have dinner at Broadway, in the Sichuan restraunt there. It was almost all chilli dishes. One of the dishes we ordered was practically all chilli peppers and only about 20 slices of pork and peanuts. For a good 5 - 10 minutes I lost feeling in my tongue. After drinking down plenty of tea, I gradually regained feeling in my tongue. Apparently some westerners had a go at the chilli as well, and they were in the toilet trying to get feeling back to their tongue. Pfft wusses... :P It was an interesting experience, and if they say 'lets go to that restraunt again' I will have to seriously consider >:P

I sure can pick them...
First it was a colleague that introduced somebody. That person after a few conversations said they were not interested in a relationship.
Then a good buddy of mine introduced this girl, and I even got to meet her in person once. Needness to say they were so busy with their friend that nothing happened.
Now, the person I was introduced while I was in bris turns out she's not interested in a relationship either. That's 3 / 3!

The week in bris
I had a week in bris, here's a rundown of what happened.
Saturday : Left syd early, 9am to catch the 11am Plane. Plane arrives in bris at 12:30pm, and I catch the Airtrain to the trainstation where my uncle has a shop. It cost $19.20. It was around 2pm by the time I got there, my mum and uncle was waiting there for a good 2-3 hours. I had lunch at his shop, and then we headed back to his home, which would be where I was staying for the week. Nothing eventful happened, met up with the other uncles and aunties who was there for tomorrow night's events.
Sunday: Woke up early and had a friend from colleage pick me up. We drove to the Kingston Park raceway, and raced 4 sessions. My times were improved every session, my times were like this -> 1:14.169, 1:06.055, 1:05.907, 1:04.393. So I improved every session, but I was nowhere near fast as the first 2 guys, they were having laptimes of 1:01.xxx - having the advantage of being there before. Wookie, (the guy who was getting married) always came third behind them, he just wasn't good enough. But still his times were 1:03.xxx so he's still faster by a long shot. Overall for $95, it wasn't a bad time to be had. But it was strange that they had a bucks party with that kind of entertainment. The college pal had to go and do some work, so I left with him early back to uncles.
There was a 85th birthday party for my grandma that evening. So after I got back, around 2pm, I was helping my mum and rellos cook. We cooked till 6pm when the guests arrived, and well, the party had around 70 people, and it was a good time had by all... that went on till around midnight since it was a sunday, afterall. But there was karoke and singing, and after the party my cousin had her friends come and had a party as well. That night I didn't have a pillow to sleep on, so I had a sore neck for a few days.
Monday: Not much going on, I was actually waiting for my friend to message me when he's coming to pick me up or something, but apparently he thought it was tuesday. So I didn't do much.
Tuesday: Not much happened in the morning, and I had a catchup with my uni friend at night for dinner. He bought his gf along, cos she doesn't trust him sorta. Well we had dinner in a twese restraunt, it wasn't bad, and then he dropped her home and then we went to have coffee and more chat. The Coffee Club closes at 10pm there, which is kinda surprising. But it was even more surprising when the whole shopping center was dead at 10pm. I thought it would be still lively at that time, but I guess I'm used to the syd nite life being a bit more crazy. Got home around 12.
Wednesday: Again, not much happened in the morning, but my mum was going back in the arvo, so I went with her and uncle to the airport after lunch. After dropping her off, my uncle took me to a little chinese supermarket, then a big chinese supermarket. after that we went home and I didn't do much until I caught up with an old net friend. This time we went to a soy tofu place, and it also closed around 10pm. What's with this place... :P Anyways it was nice to catch up with her, but apparently she got sick the next day, probably from the food or something. Lucky I didn't.
Thursday: I went with my uncle on deliveries today. We went to several supermarkets and then had lunch at a restraunt. Then it was a pretty quiet evening at home. (I believe we went to the other uncle's place for dinner, but can't remember that now...)
Friday: I got a lift to the train station so I went to my old uni for a quick look (by quick I meant 30 mins, it was a small campus afterall). A lot has changed since then, but still, I remember my old haunts and they are totally changed some of them. My uni friend told me later that more buildings will be torn down and made into bigger and better buildings. I wonder what it'll be like 5 years later. I then walked around the CBD area for a few hours. It was fun to see what's changed, and what hasn't. I went into practically every electronics store as well (just as I'd do when I go into a shopping mall in syd) just to check out prices. All the same, nothing special :P Caught the train after having Maccas for lunch, which I haven't done in a very long time either. Got my cousin to pick me up at the shop, then had a early night.
Saturday: Big day for wooks and momo's wedding, got picked up 30 mins before the event, and arrived just in time. Had a good time, 1 glass of wine and the rest was relaxing and pretty. It was 10am -> 2pm, they had a club thing after 9pm, but I was getting on a plane in the morning on sunday so I ain't staying around for that. Got home, packed up most of my stuff, and had a early night as well.
Sunday: Got up, prepared, and got ready to leave. Got some stuff to take back for mum, but the uncle was a little late in getting here, but we made it with plenty of time to spare. So got back home around 2pm and had lunch in syd. Then a normal evening of unpacking and chatting etc.
So it was a nice trip and holiday for me, I am refreshed and ultimately I have a goal now. Those who talk to me know what that goal is. And I'm trying to add oil :P
