Body aching now after yesterday's tennis session.

Had a great Saturday by myself. Took a ferry to South Bank, but decided to drop at North Key instead. Always wanted to rollerblade along Queen Street Mall.

This is my chance.

It was a crowded weekends. Enjoyed the slight breeze blowing against my face as I sped past the shoppers and tourists. Noticed some eyes looking at me, wonder what's in their mind. Who cares when you are enjoying yourself.

Next stop was Eagle Street Pier. Fondly remembered that place as the first place I had my first breakfast with Eliss when we first reached Brisbane . It was the exciting Mac's Big Breakfast.

Then I went aimlessly and reached the Botanical Gardens. I recalled just staying across the road temporarily and didn't even step in, until now. The air was fresh and the view quite good. Just sat on the bench that overlooks the cliff of Kangeroo Point and the Brisbane river. It's really something to just slow down and look at the things around you. Singpaporeans are too fast paced to notice our surroundings.

Stopped at QUT to take a breather.

Went in to explre the Gardens Point campus. Not really big, and there are a lot of buildings that are built quite closed to one another.

Bladed past Goodwill Bridge, it's really new and with a view to beat too.

South Bank was the next stop. It's filled with families enjoying a picnic or just playing at the Breaka man made beach.

After about an hour and a half on non stop blading, finally reached GQ and Ching's place. We had made an arrangement to play tennis. It was pretty good. Some even said my serving improved. I feel more has to be done.

Ended the day with a sumptous dinner of oven baked chicken wings, chawan mushi and stir fried dou miao. It's the best meal I had for the week.

Had a long chatting session. Learn some new things and get to hear the other side of the story.

Woke up at 12.15pm today, had a good rest from all the activities for the past 2 days.

Cooked mee goreng and french onion soup after watching Ripley's...

Attemp to do my assignment again. Still face the problem for the JavaScript. Will look for tutor on Wed as he said that he is busy tomorrow.

Cooked better food for dinner, had steak, pasta and fried tofu. Very full now.

Operated the washing machine for the first time in my life. Its so much easier that handwashing.

Will be going to uni tomorrow again to enjoy the free air con and broadband access.
