Golly Gosh!

It's been sooooooo so long since I have updated this thing... owing I admit to the ease of use of facebook and it makes photo albums and stuff easy. I don't however get to write much about whats going on on there!

Not sure of when I last wrote exactly (without going back to look - ha so lazy!) but I've been having a great time over here, checking the place out and keeping myself busy!

I've seen many temples/palaces, but I've figured they kind of all look pretty similar and will save you from endless photos of these. I also got home to Oz for a few weeks in October for my brother Johns and Elissa's wedding, which was awesome. (pics can be viewed at (click here!!!)
I lost a few kilos and managed to squeeze into the dress ok, though I did resemble big bertha..hahah not quite, but at least I've lost another few kilos since then! Liss looked absolutely amazing (John did too), my heels hurt beyond pain I've ever experienced before but I danced the afternoon away regardless, barefooted and carefree! Overall my trip back was so much fun, if it wasn't for Andrew still being in Korea it would have been hard to get me back on the plane! The food in oz is too good! Oh and the family and friends are great too! hahah just jokes of course!

I had to say good-bye to Drew at the end of November, which was sad, he is greatly missed! Will be seeing him soon enough though!

I spent Christmas at the Hilton in Seoul with a few friends which was a great getaway. We ate, sauna'd, ate, spa'd, ate, danced, swam and did I mention ate the days away! Definitely would spend more days there! I did miss my usual family day that has been customary for the last 26 years, and even consoling thoughts of perhaps a white Christmas for once this year were squashed with an disgustingly warm day Christmas day!... so rude! haha (view pics)

I also was part of my schools Christmas "Presentation of Angels" where all the kids sung and danced and acted for their parents. It was a great evening with some of the most hilarious costumes I've ever seen! I was unlucky enough to score the part as Maria in the Sound of Music, thus being forced to deafen the poor unsuspecting audience with my singing. ha! So funny! Sadly enough I'm told that is on video..and no this video shall never leave Korea. (see pics!)

I also last weekend went for my first snowboard for the season with Jeff and June. A great day, packed with falls, stacks, involuntary snoweating and snow-in-pants syndrome.. I did complete my final run perfectly and am now enough back in practice to shred.....the beginner runs! hahah not quite but close!

It is New Years Eve tomorrow and I really cannot believe how fast this year has flown by! I only have two months left for my contract here, even less actual working days owing to Lunar New Year hols! yay! So the countdown is on, will be flying into Brisbane to finally meet in person Andrews wonderful family who have already been so welcoming to me! I can't wait! As for my plans after that? hmmm who knows? Stay in Oz or back abroad, jurys out.... have to wait and see which way the wacky winds of life blow...
Take care, Happy New year, hope you all had a fantastic Christmas season 2007!
Love Ellen xx
