Sweltering on Christmas Eve

Shikes how can it be this hot??? It's around 38d today, but there's not sun. It's incredibly hot, I tried to sleep in this morning while attempting to ignore the fact that I was just lying there not doing anything and sweating.

It's a quiet day, quiet as in there's not much to do - nothing on.. I did my last minute Xmas day grocery shopping last night at 2am at Broadway shopping centre. It was cool! Hardly anyone went, I wonder if it was worth the shopping centre opening. The Coles staff were bored you could tell. One chubby Asian dude was trying to pick me up at the checkout aisle. The had boxes of stock all over the place - no doubt stocking up for today's crazy last minute panick shopping. I went to 2 diff Coles trying to find sponge fingers for tiramisu.. lucky found it today at a deli in Kogarah.

My cuz (technically Aunt) Cindy and her hubby Cameron had a baby boy!! 4kg and apparently that is one huge bub!! YAY! Finally a baby for me to play with! Hehehehhee.. no.. that does not necessarily mean I am dead keen to be a mother and settle down etc. (!)

Am still working on our Ng Family Photo Gallery (I've decided to edit out the URL as there's too many embarassing family pics). It's taking a while to tweak Gallery2 to look how I want it to look... but apparently it is more customisable than Gallery1. Am now coming to the conclusion that it might be a bit more complicated for my family members to learn how to use as I think... So in a way I think I liked the simplicity of Gallery1 better. Anyway, so yeh, just decided to add another webpage to the 3 that I already administer. Man I am a control-freak.

Gotta go finish Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.. only a few pages to go! YEH I can imagine the movie being scary. I want to watch it tonight but no one to go with, everyone's seen it?!
