My Blue Heaven

Monday Blues

*sigh* Sucks going back to work on Monday. Especially with this dreary, cold weather. Doesn’t help the mood.. I actually felt kinda depressed and really tired this morning. But I’m feeling much perkier now (probably due to the mocha I had 1/2 hour ago.. hee :P).

My weekend was fun! Quite jam packed and tiring. On Fri night, My youth group kicked off term 3 with our annual BGR talk, given by Dudley and Elizabeth Foord. I thought it was very good (the Foords are always awesome!)… it was well delievered and very thorough in content. And I think the Gluesters got a lot out of it… it was good for them to listen and learn from this very wise (and old) couple.

Saturday was a veeery nice day for me. It was kinda our 3 month anniversary last Thurs, but we were busy. So Paul planned for something special on Sat – we went to Dee Why for a lovely lunch, followed by a romantic stroll along the beach to the rocks and the end (it was really really nice to be back at the beach… I missed it… why can’t it be summer again sooner!!) Then we went to Lane Cove Aquatic centre for a (becoming weekly) swim and some relaxation time in the spa/steam room/sauna. After which, we went to have dinner at a yummy Teppanyaki restaurant near my place. T’was a very very lovely day.

Later that night I went to The Lottery (Kev/Ben/Dre’s combined annual birthday bash) at Jackson’s on George. I mean, free dance party.. how could I say no? 🙂 I got there pretty late (after midnight) which meant I missed seeing a few people who had already left by that stage (the old fogeys), but I still had a good time on the dance floor. And I spent the better part of an hour dancing in the cage… hee. 😀 Only stayed for a few hours though, and ended up getting home at nearly 3am.

Sunday was jam packed with meetings – had a meeting with my fellow Glue yr 10-12 leaders to plan for term 3, then had a music meeting to discuss.. ideas/ways to improve music at Evening Service.. then it was time for music practice before evening service at 5pm. We were visited by some fellow christians from EFC, which was cool. They joined us afterwards for dinner too at the “fine” establishment of Anh Dao vietnamese restaurant.

R.I.P

After many priviledged years of access to ICQ at work…. I think I’ve finally been shut down. 🙁 They did a firewall upgrade on the weekend, and now, miraculously, my icq doesn’t work anymore. Not happy Jan. I’ve spent a good portion of today trying to figure out how to, well I wouldn’t exactly call it hacking… just trying to get through my work firewall. Trying different ports, finding out the proxy server address and trying SOCKS/HTTPS connections etc etc. And damn it.. still no dice. :(((( *sigh* Look’s like my days of icqing at work are all over. R.I.P.

(On the brighter side of things… at least my msn still works..! 😀 *Touch wood!*)

Current listening :: “The Tourist” – Radiohead (Wonderful, wonderful musical masterpiece of a song…)
