One more thing to learn...

sitting on the couch, bare legs... cat stretches... rolls over ... and off the edge of the couch.

Well of course its got to grab onto something!!!

it would have been quite funny if she hadnt used my leg to get a grip

ouch...

Split Enz

Was AWESOME!!! they played at the Westpac stadium last night and it went off! Pheonix Foundation, supporting band, were ok, tried a little too hard with the on stage humour... didnt really work for them...

oh and 61 days to go... does anyone want to buy all my crap, but give me shite loads of money for it??? ... seriously?

63 Days

In 63 days I will be on a plane heading towards Singapore... out of lil 'ol New Zealand... Off on my OE.

The last few months have been really busy with getting everything sorted, i have paid for my Contiki, flights, booked my accomodation in Singapore and requested a piece of carpet at one brothers house to crash on while i find something a little more permanent.

What with working extra hours and getting all my crap sorted, i fell as though i havnt sat down since Christmas!

Next on the list is the Visa, yes i should really have done this a long time ago... but procrastination is an art :) Plus it doesnt help that you look at you passport and it expires in 6 months... thats just not cricket!! So now i have a brand spanking new passport, chip and all, i can now apply for the visa.

Hopefully i can get ancestry, which will mean 5 years of working non stop, if i want. Which will help with that silly little thing.. the student loan!!

Right...

Its been the obligatory 2 and a half months so I thought I better update this!

Its almost the end of the year... and again it has gone so quick, what is it with the year flying by so quick? Is it because you get older? and should we want it to slow down rather than speed up!!

All in all this year hasnt been too flash hot, with my Nanna passing away in July and Mums accident back in January (she fell off her bike and had to have 2 surgeries to fix the damage, she doesnt do things by halves!), and not being able to drive... my new ocupation ... taxi driver!! ahh good times :)

Anyway now being on teh downward slide to the end of 2007 hopefully nothing else will happen, but keep your fingers crossed just in case!?!? :)

You Are 44% Brutally Honest

Honesty is important to you, but generally, you try not to be brutal about it. You'll sugar coat the truth when you need to... and tell a white lie when necessary.

How Brutally Honest Are You?

hahaha well this is wrong...

There's a 32% Chance That You Need Therapy

You may need therapy, but you're probably doing okay at working out your own problems. In general, you are able to solve any troubles that come up. But there's no harm in talking to a professional.

Do You Need Therapy?

Definitely need more than that...!!!

NO I'm not dead... yet

So dragon boating… we had our south island regatta at the start of march, the team did awesome, with about 95% of us novices… here’s how we placed:

SOUTH ISLAND FINALS
Corporate B Final
1st The Paddlateers 1:30.63
2nd Chch City Cruisers 1:30.69***
3rd Tait Dragon the Chain 1:31.25

NATIONALS
CCC Parks Division Corporate C Final
1st ARC Angels 1.26.84
2nd ChCh City Cruisers 1.27.40***
3rd Airways Paddlateers 1.28.06
4th Tait Dragon the Chain 1.28.10


So all in all not too bad for people who had never done dragon boating!!! And also caring some dead weight!!!

Now its all over and I’m missing the social aspect of it all, meeting up with people every week, almost enough to drive me to join a team sport!!!! … almost :)
