Grateful

At times i focus alot on what i dont have.."oh, i dont have this, wish i had that" etc etc...this world can be quite depressing. But on the bright side i really do have ALOT and am really appreciative of the friends, family and relationships around me.
I think esp. family. Im incredibly blessed to have mum and dad who love and give sooo much, i just hope one day i can be a person, evenly slightly like them. Even talking with J here and there, its awesome to have a bro like him. So heres to family and being content with what we have!!
...the battles continue

bells n whistles

Just went for a burn in the back streets. Bike felt a little heavy so i thought i'd remove some of the "un-necessities"

feels lighter already :)
maybe saved myself hmmmm 50grms or so?

btw why did they give me a bell for?!?!?
who uses a bell these days anyways. i feel like a little kid using it haha.. ding ding.
maybe its coz i got the smaller sized bike lol...

Reminds me of back in primary school ... "Isabel necessary on a bike?"

Sunday Lunch

Mum bought some Jang home for lunch. its just sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves.I havent had this stuff in ages! tasted sooo good! but needed some chilli :)On another note.. was sick of the music on my cd in the car (only keep one cd, in the player, in the car at any one time...weight reduction haha jks jks) anyways i wanted some new beats. i was looking around the room for a cd to put it on and found my "vinyl" cds back from like 2005 or something hah i just never got any chance to use them.. i bought them in malaysia ... so lets just hope the build quality lasts :S lol..

Parra - Liverpool .... return

Today we decided to try an "average" track
its meant to be parra to liverpool 16kms one way.. therefore 32 return. Its pretty much dedicated bike lanes the whole way which was good for us, no battling traffic :)

so we got to liverpool 1.5 hrs.. haha a leisurely ride and when we got there L got a balloonwhich actually turned out to be a busted tube 30 mins later (lol...) we were on the way. L's first time changing tubes...all those youtube tution videos came in handy haha.

Next stop was lunch in cabra.. Pork rolls ftw... nom nom mmmm
Pulled up at a local park & ate

L's hot cycling getup (i heart bikes?!?!)Some were just more tired than others... Now on the way into cabra i was deciding whether or not to walk on the footpath or ride..
my indecision made me kick my pedal, swinging it a full 360 KO'ing my shin :S.. pain pain!!!!
Its ok the sugar cane cheered me up momentarily until i was sooooo smart to attempt to put the cup into my holder, which then punctured leaking juice all over :S again!... just not my day.. fail fail...
On the way out of the park we can along a stash... maybe these were drugged up rolls? or someone was trying to get the birds fat. or.... someone was carrying a bag of rolls and had a stack? but as if the 3sec rule wouldnt count...

The Line Up
K's rideMy roller
L's urban commuter
Miss W's multi purpose ride
B's vintage get up...retro ftw
The Crew...

M7 anyone???

Zumbo...

All for food... and food for all On the weekend we went along to Adriano Zumbos for lunch/desert. Apparently this was meant to be part of my belated bday thingy, regardless the timing all was good!
to kick things off we had our "savoury" lunch. My quiche lorraine was really tasty!
J's "open sandwich". Didnt really think it was a sandwich..more so a salad with bread. None the less it tasted good :)So it was on to deserts...SUGAR HIT
we had these to share +The younger years....injected with the "stuff" Bite sized pieces of the good stuff :) Thanks for cutting it up!K's was a little "mush" or "bashed" hahaYou could really taste the passionfruit!Then we kinda started having fun with the roonsThe googles do nothing...Please sir can i have some more? but maybe another day 'cause i think i ate the equivalent of 20 table spoons of sugar lol...


Thanks for lunch/desert :)

EOFY.. sort of

Our Co. threw us an EOFY party a couple of mths ago, however thanks to the telegraph, it was cancelled. Anyways they decided that the show must go on, so they threw a "charity event", gold coin donation needed :)

The theme was 1920s... which pretty much was gangster. Night was fun, live music, food and some drinks.. i couldnt complain :P The girls cleaned up well lol..
Some even got a little bit friendly
All in all turned out to be a good night, they probably didnt out do themselves from the bollywood party, but at least we had one haha.
