the answer?!
ANOTHER ROAD TRIP DOWN SOUTH!! CANBERRA - The Nation's Capital!!!
Yes it was totally random... I just had the thought and instantly called my friend Sook Hui and my cousin 'Benjani' who are studying at ANU about my arrival.
So off I go right after the end of my work! Sadly not everything went as planned... wanted to leave my motel at 3pm and reached Canberra at bout 7pm... right after the sunset. Sadly I was kinda tied to my work n looks like I would only be able to leave at 5 pm =( and worse of all... driving in the night and perhaps have unleashing a hungry beast during my journey.
Just when I thought I could reach in time at 8pm to meet up with my friend for dinner... this happened:
Yes! A freaking jam which stretches about 2 kilometer long! Was stucked for about 1 hour!! Apparently there was an accident or spillage or some overturned truck on the bridge ahead. Thankfully driving on a road trip is a good therapy in itself... so was still patient and calm =) but tummy no! >(
Finally reached Canberra at 9pm! Only manage to meet up my friend for dessert... KOKO BLACK! =) GOod... but not good enuf to tame my tummy.
It was supposed to be a relaxing trip, but ended up....
.... helping Sook Hui with her assignment =*(
While she's playing games of FB?! WTH hahah
Later that night had my cousin to stay over my place... Mckers and football! Haha a night I will not forget. Man Utd 2 - 1 Arsenal.... Awesome strike by Arshavin (CRACKER) and Awesome finish by Diaby's header gave United a solid victory! =p
Next morning dropped Ben back to his apartment and on my way to meet up with Sook Hui and gang for .... DIM SUM (or Yum Char for OZs)
On the way for Dim Sum... Parliament Ahead
Well host was late.... so I had 1 hour+ to spend time reading newspaper and MSN.
Sook Hui & Friends
Have to say... Dim Sum there was good! It's been a while since I have a proper lunch!
This is actually my 3rd visit to Canberra and my 1st driving to the capital. I would say a better experience by driving... as you get to see lots more interesting places outside of the city.
So looks like I'll be heading down there real soon then!
