Got a long weekend last week. Apparently Monday was the Queen's bd, so I din have to work from Friday to Monday =). It can be really boring on a public holiday if you live in Perth 'cos most of the shops will be closed. You can't do your shopping. What most aussies tend to do is to have a picnic by the park or lake or something, which is probably a nice thing to do when you have a family. Basically I was kinda bored over the long weekend. I was sort of cleaning up my room a bit but got bored and decided to put it off for another week... And it makes things worse when most of your frens are not singles and would rather spend time with the their partners. For the first time in many years, I actually felt lonely. But I guess that's a price I have to pay for being single.

The good thing is I felt great again 3 hrs later after watching "Shark's Tale", hahaha. I must have spent 7-8 hrs on Sunday watching TV, something I haven't done for a while which kinda made me feel good wasting my life that way. Then Monday I thought that was way too much TV for me and decided to take my car and go for a ride. I have to admit it was an expensive exercise as the fuel price has gone from under $1 to up to $1.35 in just weeks... Anyway, I found this beautiful park which was only 15 mins away from where I live. It's actually the highest natural point in the metropolitan area and you get a 360-degree view of the surrounding areas, including the South Indian Ocean. I had no idea I was this close to the beach (the beach is only another 5 mins' drive). When the weather starts to get warmer, that's probably where I would like to hang out. You know, just to get myself tanned, nothing more, kekeke. Anyway, there's a few trails in the park so I thought I thought I would take a 10-15 min walk. But I happened to have picked the longest trail and ended up walking 4.5km for 1.5 hrs... I felt really good after that although it wasn't really comfortable walking in my jeans. Yeah, that's how I spent my long weekend.
