The best instant messaging way to chat to Antony is to use iChat (or AIM).

very hot day
Don't we all wish that we have some beautiful snow at this time of the year? Another very hot day today, temperature reaching 42°C in Sydney's west, a bit better in east. I live quite close to Parramatta. At the time of this blog writing (almost 11pm), my thermometer indicates it is still 30°C outside. I tried to stay inside as much as I could.
Unlike our lucky friend who lives in beautiful Boston, picturesque Quincy and now reputable Rochester, Sydney is a very hot place, particular during Christmas period. Don't we all wish that we can have beautiful snow outside with snowballs and snowman to play? And sitting in front of the fireplace and enjoy some cookies and drinks.
Today's news: talk show queen Oprah Winfrey decided to quit after 25 years of her talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2011.

I now have a facebook profile
Well, I finally joined the facebook. (to Sam: you don't need to bugger me to join facebook now.)
The only reason I signed up a facebook account is because that today's PlayStation 3 firmware (version 3.10) update added the Facebook feature.
So, I got a facebook profile.
Facebook is complicated. (to Sam: I won't get a Twitter.)

PSN not accepting my credit cards @#$%?
Well, Antony is cheap, he does not have latest new hot games. In fact he likes the small (easy) and cheap games available on PlayStation Store. A recently available game on PSP Minis (under PlayStation Store) is the good old Tetris (for only $8.45 AUD).
Well, it has been a long time since I shop at PlayStation Store, and my credit card on file has been long expired. To update the information with my current credit card, it says that my credit card information is not valid. I tried all my credit cards, then I got locked out (from further updating credit card information for 24 hours).

Christmas started early this year
I set up the Christmas tree today. Actually, I bought a new Christmas tree today.
BigW has a one day only special, one of the discounted items was the 195cm tall Christmas tree for only $24.98.
Last year, I bought long lasting LED light bulbs which I am pretty sure that Don would have approved of this. The problem was, I did not bother to set up the Christmas tree last year. Although the missing of a proper Christmas tree last year, the spirit of Christmas was still there (presents, of course). Back to the point, I finally get to use the LED Christmas light bulbs.
To balance last year's absence of proper Christmas tree, the tree is up early this year. Although the new Christmas tree from BigW today isn't as good as big Christmas trees from department stores (usually about $250 or more), this tree is pretty sturdy I'd say. A very good bargain for the tree, and Laurent loved the new tree.
I set up the tree, put the LED lights on. Don't have any other decorations yet.

Lucky 13 today, and it's Friday
Happy Friday the Thirteenth! The last of the three Friday the 13th in 2009. Isn't 2009 a lucky year? The first one was in February, the second one was in March.
Today is Don's first Friday the Thirteenth in reputable Rochester. In case you are not aware, he used to live in beautiful Boston and picturesque Quincy. To best of my knowledge, his dormitory life has been pretty colourful, and I can't wait to hear the Friday 13th surprises from him.

Nespresso is now at Bondi Junction
After dropping Laurent at David Jones (department store) in the city, I drove to Paddington then to Bondi Junction for a window shopping. It was Westfield Bondi Junction to be exact.
And I discovered a great news for all coffee lovers, especially Nespresso lovers - Nespresso Boutique recently opened in Westfield Bondi Junction!
What a joyful news.
The Nespresso's first Sydney Boutique is in King Street, not far from Apple Store Sydney. A very good location, however, there's no parking there. The recent opening of Nespresso Boutique in Westfield Bondi Junction means easy parking.

a poor man's way of entertaining guests
This morning I had a friend visiting, and I had to show some hospitality.
After the important greeting, I offered my friend the very best Nespresso coffee. She knows which flavour she wants which was good. (In fact, she bought a Nespresso machine after tasting my Nespresso coffee.)
Then, we shifted our attention to video gaming. Unlike Don who has 3 video gaming consoles (one from each major company), I only have a PlayStation 3 and a Wii. We decided to play Wii as it is more social. Wii Fit Plus was one of the fun games we played.
What happened next is likely not to gain Don's approval, I offer her Coca-Cola. I get two cans of Coca-Cola out of fridge, and pour them into two Coke glasses (like the Coke glasses seen in this entry) with straws. Of course, I provided coasters. One of the coaster was the colour-changing one as mentioned last month. Unlike Don, she was quite impressed with the coaster.
We then played for more Wii games.
This was the poor man's way of entertaining guests. (to Don: Antony is poor.)
