Thanks for a good squash session, bro... I officially took 6 points off Thomas' A-Game!!! You better watch your back, buddy... if you don't bring it then I'ma have to... muahaha

Seriously though, I'm totally down with Thomas' master health plan. I've tried in vain to change my diet but it's hardly ever consistently successful for a long period of time. I try to limit my fat intake to 65g per day (which, according to health magazines, is about ok for a male my age and size) but I'm pretty sure that doesn't work. So instead, I'm just gonna exercise heaps and hope for the best. Went back to the gym last Friday and going again tomorrow, plus gonna try to play squash at least twice a week as well... hehe

Speaking of food, props to Heidi's sis, Weiling, for feeding me! Ate dinner leftovers at Heidi's last two nights and they were great. And reasonably healthy, I think... well more healthy than the random oily char kuay teow that I would usually eat...

I've decided to invest in a rice-cooker and try to make lunch to uni for myself. The problem with sandwiches is that they get soggy after a few hours. I like to make *good* sandwiches with pesto and tomato and cheese and stuff... and that gets all soggy and gross. Weiling suggested I bring the ingredients separately and make the sandwich at uni but I don't think I can be bothered... Would rather make a rice dish and dig in with my spoon, hence the rice cooker idea. Inspiration from Weiling's bentos... hehe...

Man, I'm so excited about the Melbourne International Film Festival. In 2004 I saw 6 films, but last year I only managed 3. This year I'm aiming for double figures! Heidi and I are seeing a film tomorrow night called "Everlasting Regret"... check it out! And comment if anyone's interested in seeing a film with me :-)

A return to form

Well it's been a while. When I get out of the blogging habit then I really get out of the blogging habit... word. It's a bit of a joke because it seems I did most of my blogging during exam period.
Ah well, I can't think of anything witty so I'll just give an update on my life for any foolish reader who happens to be vaguely interested/bored enough to read.

Since I last blogged I have:
- hung out in Brisbane
- watched a disappointing World Cup
- gone to National Conference on the Sunshine Coast
- hung out in Sydney
- passed all my subjects (including Jap... woohoo!)
- seen my relationship pass the 8 month mark
- started a new semester of uni
- had our Lithuanian MC director stay at my house
- been invited to two weddings of friends (not family friends... my God I'm old)
- adopted the fob alias: Winston Fong
- realised that I've changed a lot during the course of my LCP term
- other random crap that I forget

I wish I could blog about all of these but I guess I'm too freakin' lazy. Hopefully you'll see my ramblings again soon...
