Next week marks two months at work, and it's going alright so far. Life since I touched down from Adelaide has been full of surprises, to say the very least. One of those surprises came in the form of an ear-splittingly noisy ball of fur, pictured above. We've named her Eevee, and she's the newest addition to the family. It took us ages to settle with a name for her - at first we wanted something flowery because of the distinct flower pattern she's got on her back. Anyway, she keeps everybody on our toes, mostly because she won't shut up most of the time. @__@
With work taking up five days of my week, the weekends have become a vital two days for relaxing and doing lazy things like sitting in front of the laptop. I've been climbing a lot with Nick and Hanna, and Mira joined us for a session yesterday. Feels good to climb though I wish it was cheaper. So I usually take Saturday to climb and Sunday to spend time with the family.
This Sunday was different though. I haven't seen Sha and Fyra in a while, and we decided to have a super fancy lunch date. Sha made the reservation under Smithy Bob, hehe. Nick suggested eating at D'Italiane Kitchen at Jaya33, so that's where we went. It was a really nice place and the food was expensive. Everything was really delicious though, and worth the money. I'll be writing about our experience there soon, so I'll update this blog post with a link when it's published.
After lunch ended, we headed off to meet Jov - the last I saw her was in early January while Nick and the girls haven't seen her at all since they got back. So what better place for the Taylor's gang to catch up than at Taylor's itself? We shamelessly strutted onto campus and grabbed some chairs to sit while facing the wind breezing through the academic blocks. Before that we were hanging out at the empty food court while drinking Chatime.
It was really nice catching up with everybody - I miss all our hang outs and how I used to see these wonderful people every day. Hoping very much that we'll still get the chance to meet up at least every once in a while, what with everybody's busy schedules. It's a shame we can't all see each other more often. Jov said that there are ducklings on campus now but I didn't see any! Oh well. Hard to believe that so much time has passed since we were studying at Taylor's, especially since campus hasn't really changed that much.
