so far my resolution to update more is looking more and more like epic fail...
anyhoo, i am here again...



Thank you for all your kind comments on my birthday. it was muchly apppreciated.

i didnt get a whole lot for my birthday. i got a buncha money (which is always useful), my rothers got me an Andrew Llyod Webber cd and Hancock on DVD, and my parents bought me some sweets (candy) and a Blackmore's Night CD, which i actually only got yesterday because it hadnt been delivered on time for my birthday.


i went to see "Spirit" at the cinema, like i said i would. It was an ok movie. very film noir, Dick Tracey-esque. A good range of actors, some good lines and good effects, but the whole thing was kinda tame for a Frank Miller film. i give it a mediocre 5 out of 10.

apart from my birthday, i've really only been working. some of my friends from Camp were in town during the week, and i met up with them on thursday night. we went round to Meredith's apartment. she lives in Sloane Square, which is an UBER nice part of London...it costs a small fortune to live there. fortunatly, Meredith's company is paying most of the rent. It is a VERY nice apartment.

anyway, we all met up there and watched TV and played Bullshit (which i suck at) and drank...it was a good evening.

On saturday after work a few of my colleagues and I went out to celebrate my birthday in a local pub. it was meant to be a dual celebration for my birthday and another one of my colleague's irthday, but she never turned up. ^^; oh well. there were about 8 or 9 of us from my store, plus Meredith and co turned up, and some of my colleagues bought friends of theirs too. so in total there were about 14 or 15 of us all having a jolly good time. i really enjoyed it, and didnt feel too bad the next day when i had to get up and go to work! ha ha.

i discovered this week the "BEST JOB IN THE WORLD" tm.

it was in the newspaper on Monday, and it was for one person to take up a 6 month contract as Caretaker of the Whitsunday Islands on the Great Barrier reef. what does that involve? well, the job description went as follows:

"Duties: Explore the Islands and report back, Clean the pool, feed the fish, Collect the mail."

AND, if that wasnt enough, the person who gets this job gets to live on Hamilton Island, in a luxury villa RENT FREE.

AND, for a 6 month contract, the person gets paid 150,000 AUD.


no wonder the Queensland Tourism Board website (who posted the job in the first place) has CRASHED under the weight of over 200,000 applications. and this job is no hoax. its a real gig!

man oh man...what i wouldnt give.... still, thats a lot of very stiff competition, and besides, im busy in May-July (when the selection process and start of contract) is due to take place. so even if by some act of God i made the shortlist, i wouldnt be able to take the job anyway. *sigh*

still...its nice to dream about. ^^




so thats my excuse for a life at the moment. hopefully i'll update a lot sooner next time. e heh...



take care!
