sitting on the couch, soaking my feet, cuddling with the cat, watching southpark, eating marzipan... vaguely attempting to pack for my upcoming vacation ( Read more... )

Which Vietnamese restaurant? How was it? Did you try the pho tai? Inquiring minds want to know!

(And many happy returns to Paul.)

awesome... that sounds like a fun trip.

How's Mafan been doing since the declawing?
and when are you and Paul going to move in.. has anything been decided on that?

immortaleve March 6 2006, 06:34:40 UTC

hmm... yes, so it seems that my lack of updatery actually does have consequences...

yes, Paul and I are going to move in (but theres a whole other drama involved with that, and I should go ahead and write a post about it)

goody,
gossip is always appriciated... what sort of Flat does he have out there in china? Filled with gold?

immortaleve March 8 2006, 01:30:06 UTC

lol, no, he's in a crappy expat hotel/apartment thingy, its tiny but at least there is an amazing gym I get to use, and the coolest bar in town is in the same complex (so HUGE convenience factor)

now how is it that you get to go to australia?

Re: lucky duck! immortaleve March 6 2006, 06:28:18 UTC

whilst idly browsing onlline one day at the office, I came across a fabulous cheapo air ticket website for flights originating in China... saw a ticket for Sydney for 500 bucks, and then contacted a friend (who lives in Brisbane) to see if they wanted to put me up for a week (he lives near the beach) and his response was to buy me the ticket from Sydney to Brissie... so yes.

now I'm in a cafe at the Shanghai Pudong airport, making use of the random free wireless and eating dim sum and ginseng tea... damn this feels good. (I've neglected all opportunities for vacation for a very, very long time, and while I am using up half a month's salary on this trip, at least, it is worth it).

woot! pfctdayelise March 7 2006, 14:46:47 UTC

so where are you headed?

Re: woot! immortaleve March 8 2006, 01:27:07 UTC

I'm currently in 'Brissy' and I'll be heading to Sydney for a couple days next week :)

(you're in Melbourne, right?)

Re: woot! pfctdayelise March 8 2006, 13:13:13 UTC

yep.

man, I don't know you're seeing the best we've got to offer, but I'm sure it's a happy change of scenery none the less. :) have fun!

Re: woot! immortaleve March 8 2006, 23:48:51 UTC

most assuredly *not* the best you have to offer, though the fact that I don't have to chew the air is more than enough to make me think of Australia as paradise ;)
