Of Surprises and Sunrises

Yesterday we had surprises for Norman, cos it was his birthday... anyways we arranged for Mun and him to go running from St Lucia up to Mt Cootha... which by itself is no mean feat already... anyways the rest (friends of Norman of course) we were waiting for him at the top with a self-decorated banner and cake and everything.. so we were there just waiting for him to run up.. and when he did then we popped out and sang him the birthday song amongst all the people there at the lookout... his reaction was so classic man!!! too bad I wasn't fast enough to catch it on digi... hehehehe.... but it was all good! Then after that they ran back down Mt Cootha home.. they're mad man!! 2nd surprise was waiting at Serene's house, cos we were all gonna have steamboat dinner at her place and Norman didn't know about that either!! And the dinner was good and so were the laughs.. it was one of the most hilarious dinners I have ever attended man!! We were almost laughing non-stop throughout!! From Nelson to Daniel to Evie to Michelle to Gwen to Milton and on and on incident after incident, joke after joke it was outright funny!! but it was so much fun!! kudos to Serene and Michelle who prepared all the stuff!!!!

Later on, I went back home to pick up my hsemates to meet up with friends at 12am to drive down south to Byron Bay in NSW, its the most eastern point of the australian continent!! Nich, Eileen, Eldrige and Amanda were in Nich's car, and my hsemates and Derrick were in mine... it was a long drive through the night.. about 2 - 2.5 hours in total and when we got there and saw the lighthouse.. man it was so nice.. and we waited for the sun to rise above the waters... It was just magnificent!!! You really begin to be awestruck with God's creativity... the ocean waters, the cliffs, the beaches... in winter you can even see whales in the bay!!! after spending a whole lot of time taking photo after photo after photo, we finally left the place, and headed down to Humble Pie near Tweed Heads for breakfast.. the pies are really good man!! Then shopped for a bit at Tweed City and then moved to Pacific Fair in the Gold Coast for lunch...

and Eileen bought a puppy!!! It's SO CUTE!!!! its a small little shih tzu (i dunno how to spell it) about 6 weeks old (i think)... she actually saw a spaniel puppy in Tweed City but didn't buy there and ended up buying the one in Pacific Fair... I wonder how she's gonna take care of that... but its really an adorable little puppy.. let's hope it doesn't end up being to much of a hassle... =)

that was my trip basically.. i'm cutting everything short cos I'm really tired and I've only had 1 hour of sleep so far over the last 2 days because of the trip... and I'm going up north to Sunshine Coast tom!!! its gonna be one helluva trip.. hehehe.. =) well till tomorrow i guess.. GDNITE!!!! *plonk*

PS: photos of the birthday and trip will be up shortly... when I have the time...
