80s Flashback

I was hit by a double dose of 80s flashback! I went to the 'Tears for Fears' and 'Spandau Ballet' concert this weekend.

I enjoyed TFF more as I knew more of their songs (i.e. Everybody Wants to Rule the World, Shout, Head Over Heels, Woman in Chains, and more). I thought I knew a lot of SB's songs but I only knew these: Gold, True, Communication, Round and Round).

Abseiling

The day after the horse races, we drove to Glenworth Valley, about 1.5hrs from Sydney (around Gosford area) and tried abseiling. New experiences for me this weekend.

It was really scary at first especially when you get to the ledge and you have to support yourself by putting one hand behind your back and supporting yourself (of course, someone is belaying you, too).

We started off at 6m, then 15m, and last was a 23m height with a cave down below. It was fun!

Check that off my list!!!

Races at the Royal Randwick - Autumn Carnival 2010

I got 10 tickets to watch the horse race which was sponsored by my company, David Jones, at the member's lounge. I've always wanted to check out the races where you get to dress up and bet on the horses. And so we did! I spent about $40 and got about 50% ROI. Not bad and we enjoyed it! Got the tickets for Free!!!

McDonald's after Good Friday

Just like last year, after fasting and eating no meat on Good Friday, we drove to McDonald's at midnight for a midnight snack. I think we'll make this a tradition every year now. He he.

When I first arrived in Australia, my coworker kept saying that she went to Mackers for breakfast this morning. I never knew what Mackers was. We called it Mickeydees (if that's even how you spell it) in the US. Or McDo in the Philippines.
