Melanie and I went to the multicultural fair on sunday, it was pretty mucht he same as every year, lots of different foods, some people singing who really shouldnt be, lots of cheap crap market stalls, etc, etc

This year i was adventurous after seeing the fujian food stall, they had a selection of curries and chicken and beef etc, $7 for a dish with a bit of everything. It was too shabby at all, quite tasty. Melanie had her usually satay sticks.

The reason we were out there was because melanie volunteered herself and me to help out in the infocom faculty (or whatever the hell its called now). We were supposedly meant to be blowing up balloons or somthing at 2:30pm… we rock up on time only to find the balloon blowing up section empty. Melanie finds out that all the ballons are gone and i work there was done. So, free lunch on friday and a free shirt all for doing nothing was a pretty good deal.

The highlight to the day was seeing the dog obedience people, was funny watching the dogs run around the circuits and stuff.

So the people across the road from where Melanie and I live are in a relationship, or so i assume since they live together and seem to have a kid. Anyway, they are constantly fighting, so much so that today when i hear the lady yelling i didnt take much notice… until the tires of the car screached and the lady started screaming her head off.

I looked out the front door and it seems as if the guy had actually hit the girl in the car. The car was sideways in the drive way, like it had slide around a lot… im not sure how or why eactly… anyway, the lady was lying in the drive way creaming about her back or somthing. At that moment another couple came walking down the street, im not sure if they know the people or what but the guy called and ambulance.

30-45mins later… the ambulance and police had been, the lady was taken away and the guy was talked to. Who knows what will happen.

Its not really surprising though, they always have yelling sessions and the guy will take off in the car screeching the tyres etc etc.

Must be love? hrmmm, they sure have a weird way of showing it…

Wonder if i can convince melanie that running over her is a sign of my undieing love for her… hrmmm somehow i think not….

Well its all over, some cool stuff announced. Im sure theres much more cooler dev stuff that cant be talked about though. I didnt go this year even though it was included in my scholarship, i kind of fingured id stay in Australia and work on uni stuff, which i did.

As fun as it would have been to go, especially to catch up with the Apple guys i met while interning, im actually glad i didnt go. I worked on my uni stuff, so all is good… maybe one day ill actually finish…

Its been so long since ive blogged…. whats been happening… hrmmm not a great deal, working on uni stuff… still, i have days where its interesting and days where it bores me silly, but thems the breaks i guess.

Keeping my mind active by coding, nothing great really, just simple little examples in cocoa to better my understanding. Maybe one day ill actually get one of the many projects ive started finished… or close enough to finished to release it on the world… heh

Nicks going great guns on his bike. Im surprised at how fast he picked it up to be honest. If he didnt have his orange jacket on with the L plate on the back while he was riding im sure noone would realise he is a nub.

meh, i think ill make some seperate posts.. that will do for this one
