Here comes a cyclone!?

Oh no! A huge cyclone has developed near Queensland's coast line! I wonder if it will affect our flight back to Japan! I hope we are going to be OK.

Souvenir for my family and friends

Today Gori and I went to town to do some shopping. My purpose of it today was buying some chocolate as souvenir for my family and friends. I bought a lot of boxes of Lindor chocolate and lots of kinds of Tim Tam. Lindor is not technically Australian, actually it's from Switzerland but it's very tasty so I bought them. As for Tim Tam, I know Japanese people are very familiar with getting Tim Tams as souvenir of Australia ( or even sick of getting ones^^;) but usually those Tim Tams are original Tim Tams with milk chocolate. So I bought different kinds of Tim Tams even though I have never tried any of them (^^;) I hope they are yummy too!

I made custard this afternoon.

I made custard this afternoon. It was the best custard that I've ever made. Gori said it tasted very similar to his mum's, which is really really nice! I am going to make some for my family when I get back to Japan too!

Sorry for whinging. But I really needed to let it out.

I've spent so much time and effort on planning a trip for Gori's mate and his girlfriend. Well, acutally I've done that for Gori because if I hadn't done that, I knew he would be in a big trouble and extremely stressed when he was going along with them on their trip. Because they don't speak or understand Japanese at all!

But now I think I've wasted my time. I am not sure yet but I think they are not going to go on the trip any more. We sent the final detailed plan of their trip a few days ago and they started whinging about it. Yes, I admit that I've made a little bit of changes with the first plan so if you have trouble with them, I could change them back in your way, which is fair enough. But things are a bit different with this one; YOU had agreed with the first plan which involved 3 domestic flights and that's why we booked the flights and have bought the tickets. YOU agreed on it ! You CAN'T say that that was not what you had been expecting at this point! It's too late, mate! We've already bought the tickets! If you had had trouble with it, you could have said it when we showed you the first plan or even more, you could have made a plan yourself!! You didn't even bother to book the flights or doing anything!! You can't just whinge, with not doing anything! We are not your submissive travel agents!

Now things have become very complicated and awkward between them and us. I really feel that I shouldn't have started this planning thing in the first place. I wouldn't have done that if it wasn't for Gori and if driving was not involved. I am really really regretting this because after all, this is THEIR trip!!

Now I really hope that they are not going anymore. I am just sick of mucking around sorting out information about hotels and other stuff for them. I've just had it.

Sorry for whinging. But I really needed to let it out.

A week to go before the trip (3/15)

I haven't made an entry in this blog for a while. That's simply because I have been too busy to get round to it(^^;) Ever since I decided to go back to Japan, there have been a lot of things to be done so I have been wrestling with them. Now I have a week to go before the trip. I am very thrilled and looking forward to it.
