And why’d you say
It’s just another day, nothing in my way
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna stay
So there’s nothing left to say
And why’d you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don’t know what you lie for anyway
Now there’s nothing left to say

My uncle came over from HK and stayed with us from Thursday to Tuesday. I’ve spent most of the last few days going out to dinner and on Saturday we went down to Wollongong. The first three photos were taken from the Sea Cliff Bridge down near Coal Cliff. It was opened in December last year, the view is pretty amazing, because the bridge is off the edge of the cliff. It was a bit of shame that it rained while we were there, but it was a nice walk anyways. Only takes about 30 minutes to do a round trip, so that was my exercise for the weekend. The 4th photo shows the really disturbing view of Wollongong showing rather obscene amounts of smoke coming out from the stacks… I was pretty surprised when I saw it. I’m not sure if there’s a smelter/steelworks/coal factory there, so maybe that explains it.

We ended up going all the way down to the blow hole at Kiama, which was really awesome because the sea was quite choppy. Makes for good blowhole (= And because the sun was starting to come out, we got to see rainbow! In fact, in the next photo, there’s two (although the second one is very very faint). And the colours are reversed from the inner one. It was pretty cool to see the full arch of the rainbow as well, cos normally you only manage to see half. Of course, the camera on my phone just isn’t capable of capturing that sort of beauty… I really have to look into getting a decent digital camera.

On Sunday, we went to Bondi for breakfast (I had this big brekkie that I’m still trying to work off at the gym) and then went on to the fish markets. I haven’t been to the fish markets in AGES, but there were heaps of people there. Most of them looked like they were there for lunch… not that many people were buying seafood. Anyways, saw these two pelicans in the carpark.. they didn’t seem at all bothered by all the people and cars around.

Haven’t been up to much else. I’m kind of glad my uncle is gone as he is very tiring… he says weird things to me, and everything has to be perfect and people always have to be doing something. I like my weekends to be relaxing, not full of arguing with other people. *sigh*. Thank god I’m not going to work tomorrow. I can see now why people who work for the Government have an ADO every four weeks. After that much full time work, you need it! Otherwise you’ll go crazy or get grumpy and be unproductive. I am rather pissed though, that I get a 30 minute limit EACH DAY on accessing the SMH website. This makes it difficult to read the news and access other interesting things. I have discovered though that I can read my LJ friends page but they’ve blocked eBay again. It’s like some sort of random lucky draw. I’m going to try and RSS feed the news articles into one webpage that I can put on my server so I can access them from work.

Had another session with the personal trainer. He’s taught a few useful exercises. But, if I want to continue session it costs $35/half hour. That’s BLOODY EXPENSIVE!!! So I think I might just have one session a fortnight, which means I’m paying about $36/week for gym + training. I think that’s a bit more affordable and reasonable. Maybe I should become a personal trainer… seems like a fairly fun job.

Well for a lonely soul, you’re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you’re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you’re having such a nice time
You’re having such a nice time
