In case you're wondering, Yes!, I'm still alive =))
Got like a gazillion sms-es (ok I flatter myself =P) from concerned parties asking me if I have left for Down-under. Well I leave later today for Sydney and Melbourne on a driving vacation. Don't ask me to Yelp for joy. I have no energy left =))
Well its been a hellish week in terms of work for me. Cleared an Everest-load of reports, made sure my 8 senior monkeys tidied up their management projects properly, had a terrible time when I sent in my car for its virgin inspection (which I failed by the way =/), unpacked stuff since I just moved back 10 days ago...blah blah blah...
In between, made sure I had enough time to go to the gym and at least have a proper dinner since for most of the week, I survived on about 6 cups of coffee in the day.
And later today, although I am on leave, I have to chair one last big urgent meeting before I am released from the shackles of my stupid job for a well-deserved holiday.
Anyway, enough whinging. For those who care, here's our itinerary for the trip. So if I don't have access to the Internet and you're wondering (out of sheer boredom) where Muff is, you'd know =))
Nov 3 - Sydney
Nov 4 - Melbourne (We couldn't find a blardy place to stay in before the blardy Melbourne Cup on the 7th)
Nov 5 - Melbourne
Nov 6 - Port Campbell (Great Ocean Road, you know the 12 Apostles, London Bridge etc)
Nov 7 - Phillip Island ( to frolick with Penguins and get away from the Melbourne Cup madness)
Nov 8 - Narooma (South Coast of NSW)
Nov 9 - Port Stephens (North Coast of NSW, gonna do some Quad-biking)
Nov 10 - Katoomba (Blue Mountains)

All this zooming around in a 3.8l V6. Dunno whether its gonna be a Mitsubishi 380 or a Holden Commodore. No matter, the damn thing is sure as hell gonna guzzle petrol.
So its bye-bye for now. And I'll see if I can give you guys a G'day Mate from the other side...erm...I mean down side...err...Down-Under =P
P.S Enjoy Jason and Kylie serenading you for the next 2 weeks. Jolly good Aussies they are =))
