never again...
my body clock forced me to wake up pretty early today, backing up from what i consider a big night on the booze.
my head feels like crap and my conscience ridden with guilt of making such of fool out of myself as well as partially ruining everyone's night.
my apologies go out to the 4 brave souls who had to baby sit me through the latter part of the evening.
jackson, xtn, gillian and marv
particularly jackson, thanks mate.
oh yeah xtn, i'll pay you soon for kok - and don't say otherwise FOOL!! =)
hi MILO, hope your hand bag is ok.
my pinky still hurts.

you left me no choice...
but to write up an entry about the hunter valley of my own...
both mark and xtn have added an entry about the hunter valley trip - so i'm gonna make like a sheep and do the same... *baaa* *baaa*
on second thoughts, i'm just too darn lazy at the moment...
besides, everything's been written about by the two blokes i've just mentioned, go...have a read...and perhaps by then i'd do a proper write up, i doubt it though.
this chill-out-mellow-trancey music i'm listening to at the moment is making me more of a lazy arse.
oh yeah, mark, great song.
oh yeah, mark, YOU BRUISED THAT BANANA YA SLACKO!! go get yourself a "clingon" and you can make 'jackson' pay for it this time, and and and STOP USING OUR BOX OF TISSUES!! =)
***
just thinking about work - i'm getting all fired up...arghh!!! now i must write...
i'm just dreading work everyday now, another of my colleagues spoke to me today, she's definately resigning this thursday and.....WITHOUT A JOB to fall back onto.
team morale is at an all time low.
i've been so close to resigning just like that, storming out the door vowing never to return, but i'm all talk, i'm more afraid that my dad will threaten to break my leg, it's the same old threats asian parents seem to be using, ever since i can remember, it's the "i'll break your leg" threat that reigned supreme - oh i'm off on a tangent now...
ok, a little less conversation and a bit more pro-active action.
it's about time i made use of that "need a job?" link i've put here.
ohh my dicky manager has now left, only to replaced by another dicky manager of the opposite sex and weighs 40 kg more. i'm slack, but i don't like her much, i'm a very tolerant person, i am!! just not with her.
feel my pain!
didja feel it?
ok, i'm better now.
***
oh yeah, i've republished most of my archives, should be back up, don't know why it's not up straight away, but you guys should see it soon.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy (I like
#3,4 & 5):
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more .
5. Expect less.
Okay now for those who need a little soul
food remember these lines:
You can't make someone love you, all you can do is
be someone who can be loved, the rest is up to the
person to realize your worth.
It's better to lose your pride to the one you love,
than to lose the one you love because of pride.
We spend too much time looking for the right
person to love or finding fault with those we already
love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we
give.

what a disaster
it's the feeling you get when your plans don't go as planned.
sure i still had a good time tonight, but my original plan was - be home around 7 - gym it til about 8 then call her and speak to her til the cows come home about meaningless nothing.
hmm what did i actually do?
finish work
headed down to the roxbury bar had a few drinks
went to a korean restaurant an ex-work mate parents' owned
had more wine, walked down a couple of blocks after dinner to a colleagues apartment for a few more beers then eventually waving down a cab and staggering home at 12 midnight on a weekday.
wrote up this blog entry... i'm guessing i'll eventually fall asleep within the hour...
now i have work to look forward to tomorrow morning... not happy jan.

September the Eleventh
In these awful times, as we struggle to understand what is happening to our world, we must keep in mind the events of the recent past.
At dawn on September the eleventh he received his orders.
While others would attack the citadels of commerce and defence
To his team would go the greatest honour,
That of targeting the President himself.
They would attack by air the central symbol of the Infidel's power
- The Presidential Palace -
And they would take out this obscene man
And all who stood by him.
'Democracy' the infidels called it.
Let them call it thus
And carp at the virtue of 'elections'.
Elections were fallible.
And now things had to be put right.
He had chosen his team well.
While others might quake at the magnitude
Of their mission, they would not flinch.
They boarded the aircraft carrying with them the hopes of all true
believers.
They had the support, too, of powerful friends abroad,
Of a courageous foreign government that supported their cause,
Equipped them, trained them, and put up cash.
And when victory was won and the revolution complete
It would recognise them, and give them honour.
To it, too, must go the glory.
The plan was meticulous.
His destiny - and that of his colleagues - was in his own hands.
Flying low, he turned the aircraft towards the capital
And prayed his aim would be true.
* * *
The attack succeeded.
The President, given warning by developments elsewhere,
Chose to stay in his residence and dared them do their worst.
He was dead by evening. His regime - like his palace - rubble
around
him.
He made a final broadcast to the nation. Here is part of what he
said:
"This is surely the last opportunity I will have to address you...
With my life I will pay for defending the principles
Dear to our nation.these are my last words".
And so they were. On September 11 1973
Salvador Allende, President of Chile died,
Refusing to flee an air attack on the Presidential Palace.
His murderers, a military putsch supported by the government of the
United States,
Overthrew the democratically-elected government
And established a rein of terror that saw thousands murdered.
Thus did the date September 11
First associate terror with the United States.

it's wednesday - september 11.
which means it's members only night at the gym tonight where casual goers to
the gym are NOT allowed to enter - ahhh feels like i'm in a very exclusive
club, then i realise that it's just my local leisure centre with a gym, but
like they say, ignorance is bliss, but who are "they"? Why is it that
whenever "they" say something, it's more or less correct? go figure...
isn't it great when you can make someone happy - next best thing to being happy yourself.

went to the bulldogs final match tonight... i'm not an avid fan of rugby league, let alone trying to cheer for the doggies tonight, but it was all worth while when we got our tickets for $10 instead of the usual $25.
i now know why people go to watch these games live, tv had nothing that even comes close, it's something that you'll need to experience for yourself, words cannot even begin to explain it.

anne's birthday get together was fun, slaved away all day over the stove to make two measly dishes, thai red curry and the gourmet potato salad - i'm proud of myself i am.
everyone pretty much got together at around 6ish - food was good.
desert comprised of various flavoured ice cream - ly chee, durian, jack fruit, cookies & cream and good ol' vanilla.
watched "the late show" on dvd then we brought on PICTIONARY - as good as i am =) couldn't save my team from losing, ended up coming 3rd out of 4 teams ... oh well.
myle was pissed at me - at the time i didn't know what it was about - but all is good now =)
***
had steamboat at anthony's new place at parra today, all in all a pretty good day, was pretty lazy arsed today, managed to take my dad out for a father's day lunch though, came home took a nap then headed down to anth's place.
anne dropped over at anth's place as well - she didn't look too well, mild case of food poisoning - she didn't stay for long - walked her back to her car.
met myle's cousin from london - kim.
now i'm just knackered - bloody work tomorrow - why oh why?!?!
