wonder seat tickets purchased...

Oh the excitment I feel! Chiaki from the Westin Tokyo last night confirmed that the Wonder Seat tickets to Urawa's game against Jubilo Iwata has been purcahsed. I'm almost as excited when Ci told me last year that we were going to Japan to watch an Urawa game; actually no, that's not right, I was way more excited last year.
This year wonder seat package is similar to last years package; except instead of recieving a "game flag" , this year present is a players "bobble head" doll. Each game features a different player; the Urawa vs Jubilo game will be Tatsuya Tanaka. I have mixed feelings about that; I wished it was someone else though. The game before is Hajime Hosogai's - which would have been one of my preferred option. Either way I'm excited to be just going to the game! More then that I'm excited to be going on a holiday! And even more then that I'm excited to be spending 3 weeks with Ci!!!

a milestone...

So it has happened; my car that has been dubbed "Taylor" has finally hit 10,000kms. Actually it happened a few days ago, I just haven't got around to blogging about it. To be honest that day was a pretty bleh day for me, but the excitement of reaching this milestone really did brightened up my day!

So the details. It happened on Wednesday 6th March 2010, just before 14:30. It was on Victoria Rd Ryde in front of the Hunter Holden dealership. Judging from the picture below, I was travelling at 50 km/h. I was on my way to work and the song playing at the time was the Killers "Smile like you mean it". So I did!
