Golfing

6th weekend!

I have been meaning to take golf lessons for ages, just needed someone to correct my technique and stuff. And I did! A$85 for 5 lessons and made a few more friends.

Found a driving range here as well. Quite a nice little public range with great views of the city.

Little ones having a go.
Just one lesson and some work on the wrist and my balls are so much straighter! Well done Darek!

Hai yang visits!

Haiyang and his wife pop by for a visit from Sunshine coast today. Really pure serendipity how we met... I was just walking home from the library and I spotted him across the road. Apparently, he was trying to contact me. How queer?!

We spent the afternoon sorting out my car registration and insurance while he got to reminisce about his times in UQ.

Mr Tan making sure my room is JCIA compliant.
Dinner was extremely satisfying with real RICE. We were joined by John, chap studying in UQ as well.

It's really nice to see a familiar face from home. Thanks mate.

Sherwood Magpies

As part of the curiculum, I have to be attached to a sports club. I chose this Aussie rule club called Sherwood magpies. Just about 10 min drive away, and the chance to see a crazy game... why not? Aussie rule (think it is spelt this way) is a mixed game of rugby, football and NETBALL! I have yet to figure the rules out???

BBQ dinner

Wah! not bad man. Outdoor BBQ dinner last saturday. Hey, cromwell college is pretty creative in keeping her residents happy.

Just for you hon.

Hey sweetie, i hired a plane to write a sky messge for you today. Hope you like it......

Damn the bugger spelled wrongly!!! i told him to stop and got my money back. Next time maybe.... hehe

Lao Pok Car

TA TA TAN! ok this is the car I should be getting (recommended by Dale Mason, one of the dean looking after my college) Looks and feel pretty decent and bargained it down to 2.2k. It is a Mitsubitshi Lancer '94 and has racing kit fitted.

test drive
Brendan kindly went down to inspect the car with me (he used to work at the mechanics, so he knows his stuff) Cheers mate, appreciate it.
Looks ok from the outside.

jingle bell jingle bell...................and 2 breathes

5th weekend here already. Times truely flies. Anyway 10 of us masters students spent this weekend together for our first aid certification. Interesting how the instructor can put so much animation into such a dry topic. For example, instead of counting the CPR 30 compression to 2 breathes cycle, he suggested singing jingle bells jingle bells instead. He reckon that will equate to 30 compressions! (just remember to sing it silently to yourself!)

Rubber mask to practise CPR on our dummies
