Italianio Night

Every Wednesday is Steak night… why? Coz its half price steak up at the tavern here… yummlicious Tbone grilled steak.. with choice of garlic, mushroom, red wine sauce… and its always crowded full of work people….

On Tues… something new came up.. Pasta night… this was all happening at Enzo and Rees place.. it was like an international gathering, Aussie, Kiwis, Italians, Bosnians, Solvakians (I tink tts how u spell it) and of coz me!

Enzo a true blue Italian whipped up an astonishing pasta spread… beef, bacon n egg lagsana, ham caborana, seafood marina pasta, spaghetti bolognaise, some Italian speciality of steak and tomatoes on bread, flowing red wine, and I mean loads and loads of red wine, The pasta was enough to feed an army! sweet chocolate brownies to finish it up… we were all sooooooooo stuffed we absolutely couldn’t move by the end of dinner..

And to top it off, italiano music was jus blasting straight out… really dancy rhythmic tunes, romantic croons…. Everyone was clapping, dancing, singing away… Rees, scaffy on the job, just went on Opera mode and started hollering Italian lyrics…Kymbo started spanishy gypsy dance behind the curtains, with the broom….. it was hilarious…. We laughed til our cheeks ached and tears welled up…

Kicked myself for not bringin the camera.. arggghh!! It was a great night…

Happy Holidays

I cant believe it… its already almost march! Time really whizzes in ultra light galactic speed when you get older AND especially more so when you are having fun…

I just had the most amazing New Year (both Ang moh and Cheena)….spent with family in exciting places…

Last few days of 2008 was crazily spent in
- Mrs Macquarie Chair, Botanic Gardens in Sydney… famous spot for New Year Eve’s , the fireworks scenes they always flash on news,

- clawing through shops and bargains on Boxing day sale..

- being miserably locked out from home (for 8 hours!!!) on Xmas day after a surf at Bondi Beach

CNY were spent in freezingly mesmerizing and snowy white Hokkaido… and culture stimulating, shopping paradise Tokyo.

I missing those times now…. 2nd round visit to Japan on the list of things to do.... for a more intimate exploring around.... hmmm.... wonder when will that be again?..... defintely not in the near future...

Up here... we have one of the most stunning sunrise views...... warm orange lights just blaze across the skies... absolutely breathtaking ... that will set me off in dreamland mode for a few secs b4 reality hits me and i stumble to the carpark for another day of work... bleahh..

Heard the other night that there was a sky episode that only comes round every 30 yrs.. its a moon with 2 stars above it.. making it like a smiling face in the night sky... din manage to see it though....

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhh YUM!! Simply Heaven...!

It was a cool crisp night. Tagged along to his canoepolo training at UQ pool.
This was the 2nd time I’ve seen him in action in Australia. First time was bout 5 yrs ago in brissy too, for the World championships, where they got defeated badly. Not bad for a first stint.. as they beat the Americans HA!

Warming up with some throwing, paddling exercises.
“PHEEEEEeeeeeeeeeee!” game starts! Some fast action packed, bulldozing through the pool for the ball!
One of the nerve wrecking part of the game is when the opponent tries to wrangle and ram the guy to make him lose his grip.
Everyone’s watching the ball….holding their breath for a goal….
His passion…
