heheheh

Well i just looked at my last blog and its been well a long time so much has happened i really need to get on hear and tell it all.
Tonight is the christmas party for work and everyone seems pumped up and the ladies are looking dolled up which is always a bonus.
Im not going to be going tonight not really fussed about it i have drank heaps in the last week and i have a huge weekend next weekend so not fussed at all.
My friend Mal is going for her masters grading at kung fu next week, im not going to say goodluck because i know she will do great she doesnt need luck she has the skill, cant wait to see her come through.
Had the launch party for work last week and that was pretty awesome was speaking to a few people and met many nice people too.
Well the year is wrapping up quickly and it feels like what has happened i havent seen the last six months but its been good, work was hectic for awhile but it was all well worth it..

Well till next time, i make no promises!

OMG its been so long!

I cant beleive that time has gone so fast i know i said i will post again more and more but its just been so hectic with work and i am getting behind with so many things, including blogging.

I heard a rumour today that my romantic vacation with our new product will be coming to an end sooner that thought, this means that drastic measures need to be taken. So wher do you want to go today? Personally no where, i enjoy the team i am in and i enjoy the work i am doing at times it feels a little crazy but it definately is worth every ticket!

Nyum Nyum completed his site the other day, im really impressed at it, my hand goes out to you my friend i really do hope tat you get something for your hard and exhausting work and if you dont want to tell everyone just tell me i will keep it a secret ;)

Well i will hopefully update again soon but looking at my previos attempts i will just say chau for now and talk soon!

Another weekend!

Another weekend has arrived, im feeling laot better today have been sick for the last 3 days with some kind of Virus, cant remember what the doctor called it but he pretty much hit it spot on when he told me the symptoms. Apparently its going around Sydney. So all of you in Syd take care and stay away from anyone that has high fever and the runs cause it will make you feel like shit if you catch it.
How bad has the Hurricane in New Orleans, what is worse is their government, its funny how they ask why its taken so long for the government to get aid to them and get help going. Hmm lets take one guess i say, maybe its because the majority is lower class and negro. If this happened in New York or California i can assure you that the aid would have been sitting on the tarmac at the airport before the storm even hit! Its sad but tats the government that they voted back in, im not going to go any further as anyone that knows me knows how i feel about that government, i just feel sorry for the people suffering. What can i say guys you voted the FUCKERS in!
Anyways, apart from that am feeling alot better today and am hoping to get a shit load more training in this week as i have missed out last week i am so disappointed.

Written Off!!

Oh what a night, went out with work colleagues for drinks, all was well until i sculled a couple of bourbons and coke, damn i was so drunk and feeling so seedy! I ended up blowing over $300 dollars on piss and pokies... i know i wont be doing that again for a long time. I think i am going to stick to wine now my body doesnt seem to like to drink like i use to when i was younger. Thanks Ahem! for the ride i really appreciate it, dont know what i would have done with out yah. Today has been a pretty quiet day, am doing overtime at work but it is really quite easy so im happy, surprisingly i didnt get much of a hang over thankfully, because i was totally in for one but its all ok now!

Hump Day!

Well that it is, its hump day Wednesday it feels like it is going really slow it should be going faster really it should!
Had my work function yesterday it was so good to see everyone from my old office, it kind of makes you miss them that little bit. Memories come flooding back of all the funny things people do and say.
Finally picked up the car last weekend after waiting 3 weeks for the banks to get their act together, it is really nice it does however guzzle alot of fuel but i guess thats what V6 engines do nothing like my trusty 1.6 Corolla.
Amelia is having her tonsils out tomorrow, poor baby she is going to be in so much pain afterwards i really hope that everything goes well you cant help be scared whenever somebody has surgery.
Going to do a spring clean on Sunday the house needs to be cleaned it is really dirty and frankly i have been too lazy to do it so i better get on top of it this weekend.

What a day!

Today has been a little slower than previous, we had a team lunch for one of my colleagues birthday, it was really good, shared a pizza with Nyum Nyum it was a gourmet meat lovers pizza. AFter that had been feeling really tired may the food was just too heavy or maybe not enough sleep last night. Going to get a haircut tonight i am so happy i love having my hair cut and nice and short also hate long hair. Had one of the worst things happen today, looked at my bank account and guess what there was almost 2k transfered out of my account to another persons and i have no idea who it is, i have logged an investigation with the bank as it is clearly fraud i just hope they find the asshole that did it and make them pay dearly i hate thieves especially when they steal of the common. To all you thieves out there take note it really sucks when you do this we dont have insurance and it makes it even harder when you have a family and 2 kids depending on that money, fucking assholes! Mind the language!

Its been along time!

I cant beleive it has been almost 2 moths since i have blogged last, damn time is going fast and so much has happened. Started a new role at work and pulled the house off the market, have had a few good things happen and a few bad ones too, moved to Silverwater to a new apartment, much nicer than my last one i hated that place it was cold and dingie. Nicholas was constantly sick and i just really didnt like it. The mould problem had ruined over $4000 worth of stuff not to mention it bloody was growing on my work suits how annoying. Anyways the new place is much nicer bigger apartment and garage, bigger balcony so we can have dinner parties and air conditioning too! BONUS!!!
Nicholas started pre-school last week and already got a cold from it he got over the initial sickness quite quick and now just has a runny nose, the best part about it is that Suvannah is going to work at the same centre, that is great as she was really worried abouty taking him to a crappy centre that just kept kids with runny noses and stuff.
I promise i will try to blogg more its been a little crazy and i just lost track of time really.

For Sale Not!

Well the decision has come to keep the house o the market or take it off....
After looking at finances and working out what the potential market fluxes may be in the coming years, we decided to take the house off the market for now. Its been quite a difficult time nothing is selling and no one wants to pay the price you ask, luckily we dont need to sell it and can easily keep it. So new tenants in to pay the mortgage for us... oh that sounds so nice!
Have been back in training this week preparing for the grades next month i should hopefully upto date with everything by then i have been putting in 3 hour sessions 3-4 times a week.
Apart from that not much else besides work has been happening.
Oh got some new Rims and tyres for the car got 16inch Chadow chrome they look really nice on the car.

Here is what it looks like:

Im Back!

Im back at wor today after nearly a week off, i got this silly Virus that is going around and it knocked me out completely, i was still having naps throughout the day on friday last week because i felt so tired. I havent recovered 100% yet but i at least can function now. Doctor says that it will take a week to fully get rid of the aftermath of the virus.
Had a pretty interesting weekend, knowing that i had the weekend off i took it upon myself to have my Nieces BF to change my clutch for me, ittook him 2 days to do it, i was sick so want really going anywhere. The car is running quite nicely now and the clutch really grips too now so no more gerbox slips woohooo...
Woke up this morning and and rebooted my PC, i had done a defrag overnight since it had been a while since i did one..when the system came back up i was presented with " Load needed DLL's for HAL" yes hmm lovely.. thinking to myself im gonna throw you out the window i decied to take a deep breath and see if i can quickly fix it, so here i was sitting at 0530 in front of a stupid PC, i tried to F8 and get safemode to boot but i got the same message no matter how i tried to boot up same message came up. so i chucked in the WinXP CD and ran recovery console, tried a FIXBOOT and FIXMBR als tried to reinstall some basic services and you guessed it same error. Oh how frustrating....
So of to worki went and logged on to MS support and guess what that crap site said, re-install yeah buddy re-install my butt i just want to redo the DLL's so it works but no dont tell you how to do that so when i finish my OT and go home i will start to rebuild this crappy HDD... man this is why people love LINUX because its so simple to fix up kernal issues and to replace files is also easy.
Well i was hoping to get some good amount of training in this week but it looks like i am gonna have to wait a little until my health gets better as training wouldnt be the smartest thing to do at the moment.

Oh the pains of it all!

Im back at work and its painful, the 4 Nights away hiking really took me back to how things use to be and how in control i was of so many things. Out there you need to really rely on yourself and those around you, if anything goes wrong its usually your fault for not taking precautions and evaluating the situation. Apart from that little spit of the dummy the hike was fantastic, i cant beleive how well the weather was it rained the first night however it wasnt heavy just a light rain to wet everything. The second day was quite a long one as we walked for 7 hours with only one 15min stop for a feed at midday, luckily we had a small stream that we were able to stock up on fluids for the day, talk about the drought you really feel it out there. there was so much water before now just dried up streams so you have to carry enough water for the day and night. When we got to the second nights camp site we were lucky to find a really small stream of water wasnt flowing very much but luckily we had filters and anti-bacterial tabs so we were safe from pretty much everything except radio-active waste. 3rd day was fantastic we climbed a few mountains and walked through a few gorges. Probably the most beautiful is the Korang Gorge forest, it is a very green and wet rain forest, it is currently illegal to camp, make fires or make any new walking tracks through there, the beauty of it all is that you know that not that many people are going through there especially when you know it takes 3 days walk to get there. I have a few photos so hopefully they come out, it is very dark and damp in the rain forest and cameras dont like it very much even with flash it really doesnt capture the beauty, smell and freshness it truly is amazing. the 3rd day was a big day also with 6 hours walking so we were quite tired by dinner. Night time was fantastic the sky was clear and the stars where out making a beautiful twilight dance, i only got to see one shooting star but damn it was bright, the moon was full and we could see the whole valley at night. 4th day we decided to start the hike an hour early as it was the begining of our walk back to base camp where our car was. We started walking at 7am, the day was once again fantastic and with the coolness of the morning we made some great time reaching the mountain saddle by 11am we then decided that we could probably make it all the way back to the car if we really pushed hard and limited ourselves to one break instead of 2 or 3. The day got hotter and as we walked on the idea of doing it all in one day instead of 2 was getting kind of crazy..
Well we made it to base camp just after 4pm so thats a good 9 hours walking and very sore Quads, hams, hips, shoulders, collars and extremely sore feet! but the thought of having a shower and eating some really fatening food was irresistable.
I am still trying to break out of waking up at 6 in the morning and getting tired early in the evening but it was all worth it....
I cant wait to go next!

Its coming!

Almost time only 2 days to go before i go hiking, i am so excited i really cant wait, seems that t is going to be cold thankfully i bought some thermals. Gog shopping for some food tonight and then going shopping tomorrow to get my propane canisters and a 3 litre bladder. Oh also have to get a new cooking pan as i burnt the last one cooking in the actual fire itself HAHAHA.
I will place a few pictures and recipes when i come back as i havent actually decided what i am going to take as yet. I will also get some pictures of the Budawangs up aswell, if its nice days we should get some really nice pictures, some you will never see unless you are out there. Anywys this will be my last post untill i get back next week!!

Enjoy!!

Another Weekend

Another weekend and its already almost over, well not really it just doesnt really feel like a weekend when you are working. Watched Pit Fighter last night damn what a flop, seriously with todays technology and the abundance of information there is no excuse for making a shit movie. If you have such maginificent cinematography and story telling back in the 60's you surely come up with something that is marginally good.. watch Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo or Hidden Fortress and you will see what i mean.
Its my bestfriends birthday tomorrow old fossil HAHAHHA Happy 28th Birthday!!!
Bought some books yesterday they where really cheap and i thought to myself its time i really learn Linux, PHP and MySQL back to back, i already know most of it but the more advanced commands is what i really want to learn. I will read it back to back however it can only reinforce what i already know.
The new place is going ok i am finding it harder to settle i really dont like how far it is from the city and especially dont like the area, it just doesnt feel safe, the people that live there are really weird no one says hi even if you say hi they look shady like they have something to hide. Im convinced the lady from across the hall is a dirty drugo whore but what can i do?? Move i guess but i really want to save money so i will put up with it for 12 months.
Called up and got my house phone and internet connected and guess with who, you got it Optus they are the only company that has a cable into my Appartment isnt that weird Telstra wanted to charge me $250 to get wiring done its like are we in 2005 or what?? its not even a new appartment, its relatively new why wouldnt the builders wired it all up at completion?? who bloody knows tight arses!
Anyways thats my sob for the day cant wait for it to end so i can go home eat some yummy food and watch DVD's..
Oh and if you read this Nyum Nyum dont forget to give Ahem Ong Bak..

Thank God its over!

Oh what a weekend, it all started on Friday night with work Reward and Recognition, it was quite a fancy do, liked the food but like many others missed some of my feed as i was mingleing so much. Got to catch up with alot of people and it was nice to see that everyone is still very much in touch with one another and get along so well. I had a tad bit to much to drink but tats ok as i dont go oout as much asi use to.
The move went pretty well, everything is at the new place now and finished cleaning everything up on Sunday. It was a killer to clean all that stuff up it almost killed me...who said cleaning was easy!!
i really hope to go to training this week i havent been for 2 weeks and i am starting to iss it, have been going to the gym and doing alot of crdio but i do need some mental training also.
Got Kung Fu Hustle to watch, was told its pretty funny so will have to see what its all about.

Signed and sealed!

Yep its official im moving to Rosehill, signed all the paper work yesterday booked the removalists and startign to pack everything up!
I cant beleive i am moving it actually feels really weird as i didnt think we would move this year but its still a good feeling, as i say change is good!
Also went to the bank and got a top up on the home loan to pay out the personal loan and have a bbit of extra money to do some shopping as i urgently need new clothes, i couldnt believe that it is only going to cost $20 a week to pay back, i really dont know why we didnt do it sooner silly of us really, nothing like having someone else pay your debts!!
went shopping on Tuesday at Kathmandu they have a wicked sale on at the moment and its so cheap, when you want warm clothing and windstoppers its the best way to go got 3 jackets, 2 thermal sweat breathing shirts and 3 little jumpers for Nicolas they look so cute on him.
Anyways cant wait till after this weekend so i can settle in to my new place.

Sooooo Tired!!

Another Saturday in our mists i had the worst night sleep just couldnt sleep having too much going through my head. Everything is going well at the moment and things in life are moving forward the only thing that is the same and not changed is the work situation, something needs to be done about that and soon....
Training is all well doing a average of 3-4 days a week and on track for Grades at the end of June. The template i am working on for the shopping site is also coming along really well its been 3 weeks now working on it and its starting to take shape which i am really happy about, bright colours yet not overwhelming. Had the owner of The Gold Room contact me asking to build them a site unfortunately once again i have had to turn them down as i have 2 projects already in progress. Am moving next weekend to the new premises am kind of excited yet sad as i really like it where i am.
Cant wait to Trekking next, we are definately going south and its gonna be cold so will have to go and get some more thermals, Kathmandu are having a thermals sale on at the moment so will try and check them out on Tuesday i will post a map of the walk once i get it..
Anyways thats enough from me for now!
