| | Hmm, lets see where to begin. I reckon the best place to start would be the beginning. Now lets see when my last real update with any information was *frantically looks at previous page*. So the last one for me was when I was in Bahrain, I assume Chris kept you up to date *checks Chris’ xanga* Okay so Chris kept you up to date for a while then everything stopped. So here it is: Not much happened during the first half of the semester, there were a few things like the - Emmanuel Ball, I didn’t go because its basically a big piss up.
- Crommie Bunker for the same reason
- The Races (See above for reason)
- Fresher Rome ^
Then came Theatre Restaurant, again I didn’t go but that’s largely because I am lazy, its so much a piss up for the audience (until after the show) but the actors are all pretty wasted before during and after the show. Chris and I have met up with Danny a few times this semester, we met in the city once, had some lunch and then went to the cinema (I forget which movie), Danny came to college and we went to Indro, had some food at a place called CAFÉ eXcess. Chris and I had the steak and mushroom pie (for some reason it’s been the special since Chris and I got to Brisbane in Feb 2005) and I believe that Danny had the chicken and avocado sandwich with a coke. Chris and I have milkshakes. We then went to the book shop, computer game shop, and generally walked around for a bit, I think we went to the cinema as well can’t remember. Shows how my mind works (all food lol) A few weeks ago we went with Danny down to the gold coast and met up with Jess and went to Sea World. Had some fun there, we went on the Bermuda Triangle ride first, and then we went to the Sea Lion show (pretty cool). We then went for lunch I had the fisherman’s basket (can anyone say irony), when we had finished eating we went to catch the Dolphin show (really cool made me sort of wish I had done Marine Biology). Then we went to the shark bay area and walked around the underwater viewing area and then went to the touch pools, where you can touch sea cucumbers, star fish etc. Then we stopped off at the Polar Bear area (I want one). Then the rest went on the Pirate Ship ride and the cork screw, I didn’t because my back was a little sore (slept funny the night before). Then we went to the gift shop, I got a 30cm tall Polar Bear that stands on its hind legs for 15bucks marked down from 39, I thought it was a bargain. Then we headed back to Brisbane, and stopped off at the cheesecake shop on the way, I got a Chocolate Treasure Cake, still have a little under half in my fridge. Bear in mind that this is in no particular order, On the 3rd Sept, the wing went to Toowong Lawn Bowls for the after noon. Three of us, Chris, me , and Sarah went by car to set up, ie get the barbeque and make the arrangements. The guy there showed the three of us how to bowl, and then we played a few ends. The rest of the guys showed up about 20mins later, and they got their lesson, and then we played for a bit, and me and sarah started to cook the food on the barbeque. Christ they gave us a lot of food, from the amount of meat they gave us it looked like we were expected to eat a cow and half. Any way, we cooked the food, then bowled for a bit, then cooked the rest of the food and bowled some more. A few of the guys had a system; anyone that bowled in their lane (I guess that’s what it’s called) and went over the end had to do a tequila shot. Needless to say a few of the blokes had a fair few shots. 
Not My best Photo But a Photo none the less. The others are (LtoR) Brock, Alan, Laura, Hamish and Josh  (LtoR) Brock, Brunei (James) and Me. This is the first lot of food 
Thats Chris bowling there, The fellow behind him is Andrew A week ago we had the AGM where we voted in the new members of the student club, The positions were all taken by the right people, with the exception of the controversial Councillor position, basically we all voted, then the votes were counted the result was disputed by an existing member of the student club, so another was taken. The principal of the college said that they shouldn’t have so they counted the original again, the result was announced and that was the end of it. In my opinion though the way they announced the result seemed as if they just pulled a name out of a hat, but that’s just me being paranoid. Any way that’s pretty much all the big things that happened since Chris updated. I’m sure if I missed anything out Chris will point it out. By the way I remember, when Chris, Danny and I were at indro we did go to the cinema. We saw Thank You for Smoking, a delightfully satirical comedy. Oh yeah and before I forget, when Chris was at one of his pipe band contests (Ipswich one maybe), I and one of my mates Matt helped out one of the admins at college by working at her Teddy Bear Exhibition. We were the security, or as I like to call us the ENFORCERS. Anyway, that was a pretty boring day, 7 till 4. We got $120 for the day though, so it wasn’t to bad. We went to the cinema after and saw Dead or Alive wasn’t too bad, but it was basically 1.5hrs of Chicks in bikinis (not that I’m complaining of course). Now I promise that I’m done. |
