Merry Christmas.
Spent the whole day lounging in front of the tv watching movie after movie. Watched "Black Hawk Down" followed by abit of "X-Men" before watching Chris Klein and Heather Graham in "Say It Isn't So".
Stopped by Sam's place at New Quay last night. He had some friends from Church over. We just stuck to ourselves while his friends obviously knew each other beforehand. Came home and watched Diane Lane and Richard Gere's "Unfaithful" on DVD before going off to bed.
Went on another shopping spree on Sunday. Spent about $ 476 on Ralph Lauren Polo stuff.
- 1 pair of jeans/chinos
- long sleeved shirt
- 2 t-shirts
- collared polo shirt
- wallet
Consoled myself by saying that's my Christmas + New Year + Chinese New Year shopping.
Some fuck stole $ 20 from my wallet at work on Friday. I'm pretty sure it was stolen. There's no other explanation why $ 20 would be missing from my wallet. Serves me right for leaving my belongings in my bag in the change room.
Haven't gotten my phone from Rudy yet. Still waiting. Hopefully by the end of the week.
"Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers" comes out tomorrow!!! Obviously, we haven't gotten tickets yet and it'll be some time before I get to watch it.
Results of the experimentation with Courtney Simon. I've since had another 2 hugs from her since the last update. What are the chances now eh? She seems like a nice girl. Long dark brown hair, nice slim body...erm. OK. Enough.
Working tomorrow and its a public holiday! Damn. Working till 11:00 pm at that!
Got to remember to return the DVDs later.

I'm sore and aching all over. Went for the "company" Christmas party yesterday. It was a 30 minute bus ride to Oakleigh where the go-kart track was. Didn't realise that the go-kart track was indoors. We were split up into 4 groups with 2 groups starting their go-kart session first while the rest of us roamed around to do other things.
There were arcade games, about 5 pool tables, also Laser Squad. Thanks to Doug, we managed to have a go on everything (well - almost). He was even nice enough to give us money to spend on games etc. Andrew and I played a game of pool before going off go-karting.
Impressions:
- The damn go-kart is so small. I was in a really uncomfortable position where my legs were constantly at a 45 degree angle or more. I don't think these things were built for tall people like me.
- Kept getting rammed by Marlene and Samantha. Damn. Samantha and Andrew got into a pile up when they rammed into each other and consequently into me. Good thing I was right in front and their karts some how got entangled and the track marshalls had to stop them.
- Don't know how I did but it was a good experience. Can't say if I'd like to go karting again (see first point).
Next was another game of pool again. Then it was time for Laser Squad. We were split into 2 teams, Orange for us Kew employees and Green for the Hawthorn employees. We had to put on a vest with flashing lights (targets) on our shoulders, phasers and backs.
Discovered that my phaser wasn't shooting. SHIT. Went out to get an exchange. Ended up having to get a new vest and my ID was "RADAR". It was a maze of walls and it was dark with only limited light (some UV lights as well).
The Hawthorn team must have played before because as soon as the game started, they positioned themselves on high ground. I didn't even know where the hell I was going. Good strategy because they have they have good views all around. Sure I got shot many times but in the end, I was positioned 4th in my team with the 2nd best accuracy overall with an accuracy of 33% (the highest was 35%). Sweating bucketloads by the time we came out of it.
They also made arrangements to go to a club called "The Room" in Hawthorn after that. Some people wanted to go. My legs were aching from the damned go karting. Some of us waited at work to make further plans.
After some of them got a bite, they were planning to leave. I playfully said to Courtney, "No hugs for me?". Surprisingly, she turned around came over and gave me a big hug. Did I mention she was wearing a tiny red spagetti strapped top? Hah...that would make Rob extremely jealous. He was always asking girls at work to go out with him. He even asked Courtney once to go watch "Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers" with him but she said she was going with her cousin. I told her "Just tell him you're going out with me". She said that was a good idea. Hrm...I wonder if all this was just a plan that I'm involved in but wasn't aware about. Maybe I have to "test" her again and ask for more hugs *wink wink* ;)
Rob's reaction after everyone started making plans but leaving him out of it. He made alot of suggestions but everyone seemed to pretend not to hear him or pretend that he wasn't there. When they all left, he mumbled "Thanks for inviting me *sighs* I guess I'll be going home now." He was obviously not happy about it.
Came home to watch abit of WWE and then a shower then off to bed.
I'm supposed to have gotten a reply from the bank by today about my Credit Card application. Haven't been bothered to check the letterbox yet. Then again its been exactly a week so maybe its too soon.
Rudy didn't go to work yesterday. Will find out tonight (hopefully) if my Optus mobile phone application has been approved.
Thanks to Andrew, I have about 25 CDs worth of new music. He lent me most of his R&B and Rap CDs and I've spent the last week or 2 ripping them to MP3s.
4 weeks before I go back home. Need to start making arrangements soon. Start packing. Collect plane ticket. So much to do.
