Cantonese test and happenings

Hi guys. On Saturday Kate and I went on a day trip to the Hunter Valley with my coworkers. It was great, we went to 5 wineries and had a bbq lunch there. The last one we went to was the best in my opinion - just great, i loved every variety of white and red we tried and the host was excellent. I actually joined up, so that means I will have a good supply of their wines - so you know what you may get for an upcoming b'day present!

Yesterday was the end of session exam for Cantonese. It involved reading, writing, speaking and listening. I have actually been studying a lot over the last week - and all day Sunday. It paid off, and I am pretty sure I did fine - i know i got 28.5 from 30 for the speaking section, and think i should pass the other sections... we will see.

I need a hair cut. And I am mourning the end of The Sopranos. Busy times huh!?

Long Weekend

I just finished watching the series finale of The Sopranos - my favourite show... it was something else. I need to digest it more before discussing it though....


It has been a quiet, relaxing and yet busy and memorable weekend. Friday night some good friends came over for dinner and a catch up - was great. Saturday we went to visit my cousin Jono, Julie and their boy josh - see below... can you believe he is only 4 months old!! So big!

Sunday we caught up with friends for yum cha. Afterwards we went to see Shrek 3 at the cinema, then met up with Sandrine and her former host mom Sue for dinner and drinks in darling harbour.

Katie had beer battered snapper and chips.
I had Moroccan spiced tuna on sweet potato
And Sandrine and Sue shared the seafood platter.

On the way home sandrine couldn't help but buy this profriter roll gateau... looked very nice!
