8.8.05

wow weekend...kenny and i went up to mill paddock on friday, and arrived at 8 ish...the rest of the weekend can only be described as amazing...went to jenolan caves on the next day after a homey countrystyle french toast made by kenny, and found out the cave's river system is full of minerals that change the refraction etc of the water, so a "puddle of water" that was knee deep was in fact 1.8m deep! it was only upon closer inspection that i noticed the reflections off the water was warped...how deceptive...i was so tempted to kick something/someone in just to find out how deep it would look...hehe...

zigzag railway up in lithgow was alright, but only worth the visit because we had entertainment voucher. it was good scenery and all, but we had been driving through similar spectacular views the whole time since the closest food shop that was open is actually 1 hr drive from where we were staying. kenny bought 1+1complimentary ticket, and we sat in the carriage, a group of people and a dog came in. and i saw it. the dog ticket for the train ride. and i knew i had to have it...and i did :-D

the place had free range roosters and hens...and they just wander casually around the farm...rosellas come and eat seeds, and how lovely it was that we poured some left over croutons in the same tray from the night before and magpies came and fought the rosellas...oops :P

the old dog on the farm was doing his rounds, small, slow and stocky, he wanders around in a circular fashion around 2 driveways that connect the house we stayed at, and the host's house. he comes up to you, and knows you will pat him, then when he's had enough, he walks on by his merry old, retired way. it's lovely to be a dog eh? looking after the chickens...etc...

came back to sydney and visited Banksia Cafe and had their world famous scones in blackheath on the way. mmm i still dream about it...the absolute best. moist, and not too crumbly, it had a bit of texture but not to tough...and tastes lovely...

and then hotpot on at derek's, and all was great, love the conversations...kenny calling "wu xi" (those yam white stringy things) as "nurse" in chinese (or did he actually mean he wanted a nurse?)...chris' endless funny comments..he only needs to open his mouth. we talked about permanent cosmetic surgery (well, just the persons involved in undertaking them, and how funny it would be if someone showed up one day to school sporting new eyebrows they previously never had). frank commented on the way those fried gluten balls, when immersed and boiled in steamboat water for a while, look strikingly familiar to certain part of the male anatomy. "warm and relaxed," he observed. what of mankit forgetting to take off his glasses before showering? why did eric want to find out? and why o why chris and james get "wrist guards" for their belated b'days?

the one that just did it for me, the sentence of great funniness, was:

chris/kenny/me: how is she mean? what does she do?
julya: she abused his buns!
everyone who heard: WTF?! and LOL..
julya: dereks buns, PINEAPPLE BUNS!! from asian shops...
everyone: *still laughing at someone's buns being abused*
julya: and she would just squish them!
everyone: *still laughing at the inuendo behind the earlier sentence*

and if that wasn't to top the night, we have a celebrity cartoon likeness competition.

votes:

derek vs bert from sesame street
mankit vs grimace from maccas
lill' kev vs calvin from that comic strip (i think)

now, i think those photos will show up on derek's site...who will win....?
