Suck my Didgeridoo!

I have been away for the last week. Where at? To the land of Australia... again! Where PAP, COE and ERP are just a few harmless series of alphabets. I only went with Stef though, as Dad's student visa application hasn't been finalized (and Mom and Shane are attached to this as well so they too couldn't go).

The flight was the same ol' same ol' in a rather small Airbus 320 which was pretty packed up like the last time... the most annoying part was babies who couldn't shut the crap up... nay, parents who can't shut them up. Gosh... but hey, I can't expect first-class treatment with a budget airfare can I? Heh. Nevertheless, I thank God for the existence of airlines such as JetStar, otherwise, I wouldn't have my six days in heaven...

Anyway, Uncle Jeff and Aunty Joyce were super kind and let us stay in the media room at their place. Nicole, Joash and Aprille were all also really accommodating as well. Did a lot of awesome stuff together like have picnics, play card games, play Nintendo Wii and do church stuff even though they are in the middle of the school term.

As for Australia, mere words cannot comprehend the awesomeness of the place. The environment was amazingly scenic, the climate was really awesome and the people were very friendly. I always heard stuff about Australia being a White-supremacist country so I thought I was going to get my butt picked on over there by rednecks but actually, I never experienced a hint of racism over there.

Though it was dry and cold, I remember an instance where I actually sweat bullets. Uncle Jeff took us to this music store called MegaMusic. Really ridiculous prices there. It's like mostly 30% more than prices here. Nevertheless, the guy at the store was pretty kind and allowed me to try a sweet-ass Gibson ES-335 which was going for like AU$5k through a Fender DeVille which was about AU$2k+. I don't know if it was the sexy killer tone or the fact that the tubes of the amps in the enclosed room are cookin' but I swear I was perspiring!

In other news, my PES-D status would extend until July... Whoopedidoo...
