Woo! My first post in forever... and also the first one from my new location of Shenyang :-) Now that I'm actually doing something with my life, I might actually write more frequently on here, heheh. Anyway, today is a mucking around day as teaching doesn't seem to start until next week, so I think I shall write a big post later on, with all the latest happenings. Right now its nearly lunchtime so I'm off to eat some yummy chinese food, yay! | | Tuesday, July 8th, 2003 | | 8:15 pm |
Goodbye Tabby
Now I am finally in a state of mind to think, its time I said farewell to my poor old cat, of whom I have many fond memories. She was in my life since I was 7 years old, so I don't really remember a time when she wasn't there. The vet nurse gave mum a poem which she emailed me. I'm putting it on here as I thought it was really sweet. IF IT SHOULD BE If it should be that I grow frail and weak And pain should keep me from sleep Then you must do what must be done For this the last battle can't be won You will be sad I understand Don't let your grief then stay your hand For this day more than the rest Your love and friendship stand the test We/ve had so many happy years What is to come can hold no fears You'd not want me to suffer so When the time comes let me go I know in time you too will see It is a kindness you do to me Though my tail its last has waved From pain and suffering I've been saved Don't grieve that it should be you Who has to decide this thing to do We've been so close we two these years Don't let your heart hold any tears Right, this is going to be a jumbo post so I'll leave it at that for now. Might figure out how to stick a picture on sometime :-) Current Mood:  lethargic | | Sunday, July 6th, 2003 | | 8:13 pm |
Sheesh, my last entry was somewhat full-on. Yes I was in a majorly depressed mood yesterday, but that has lifted now, thank God. I bought Harry Potter today, FINALLY, and have read about 200 pages so far. I'm enjoying it, and it matches my mood of doom and gloom from yesterday LOL. Harry comes across as a seriously angry young man so far! | | Saturday, July 5th, 2003 | | 12:03 pm |
The joy that is my life
Just to add to my already shitty week, I just came across the news that Metallica are going to be playing in Brisbane in January and I'm not going to be here. FUCK!!! FUCK!!!! FUCK!!!!!! I know that it is a pretty minor thing to be pissed off about when compared to world hunger and getting struck by lightning, but even so....FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Current Mood:  disappointed | | Friday, July 4th, 2003 | | 8:03 pm |
What a day
I got the contract for the job in China and it looks good. But then my mood was dispelled by the news that my dear old cat Tabby died today, waaaa! I'll write something proper about her in my next post. I am too depressed right now :( Current Mood: sad | | Thursday, July 3rd, 2003 | | 10:13 pm |
Oh I hate decisions!
Now it comes down to it.....the job in China is mine for the taking. The lady is going to send out the contract for me to sign. I guess I'll read through it with a fine toothed comb and if it sounds ok then I'll take it. I'm still kinda wondering if the Oman job will happen too, coz that sounds quite tempting. But I think I'll take whatever comes first. Hmmmm I guess I'll have a few days to ruminate on this one. Ahhhhh! Being a Libran can be a real curse at times, when it comes to making a choice!

Well, I don't really have anything of much excitement to write about, as per usual. Just thought I'd enter something for the hell of it. One day soon I hope, life is going to get more interesting, but for now all the days are rolling into eachother. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives! I've decided to build a website (a free one of course), so that shall hopefully keep me amused for a while :-) I will enter the URL when I am ready for people to view it. At the moment it consists of a title page, LOL. I bought a gladiator ball for my mouse, and its the funniest thing to watch her running around the house in it. Dad and I were in fits of laughter! Ahhh the simple things in life! Current Mood:  blankCurrent Music: TV (which technically isn't classed as music - so sue me) | | Saturday, June 21st, 2003 | | 3:04 pm |
Sleepy Me Part 2
After listening to Metallica's St Anger cd for a week, I've decided I really like it, yay! I saw the St Anger video on the music channel (yay for cable tv) and its too cool. Rob Trujillo seriously rocks on the bass. "Not only do I not know the answer, I do not even know what the question is!" | | 2:54 pm |
Sleepy Me
Well I'm home again after a really nice week at the Gold Coast. It went too fast of course, and now is the anticlimatic period of being home again, doh! I'll write a longer description of my holiday when I am less brain-dead, which will possibly be tomorrow. Oh yeah and I got both Ace Ventura movies today - they FINALLY released "When nature calls" on DVD, woohoo! I wanna get Harry Potter but I couldn't face the crowds today. Dad went down to the mall and apparently it was bedlam, so I imagine they're going to sell all their copies today, so I shall wait until they get their new shipment in. Not to worry!

Just testing out my new icon :D | | Tuesday, June 10th, 2003 | | 1:17 pm |
Migraines SUCK!!
Woke up with it in the wee hours of this morning and it is showing no signs of going away, waa! Not staying online today as I have no patience for anything and must have more sleep! Can't even work email properly, sheesh! Cari, if you read this message, I'll talk to ya tomorrow :) Current Mood:  blah | | Monday, June 9th, 2003 | | 2:32 pm |
St Anger
I bought Metallica's new cd (complete with free dvd, yay!) yesterday. It is definately a new sound although it is more similar to their older stuff than the Load days. There is also a definagte Korn influence with the heavy guitars, but I think I like it. One song in particular really stands out for me, track # 9: That unnamed feeling (I think its called. Will update my opinion when I have listened to it more :-) Current Mood:  hungry | | Saturday, June 7th, 2003 | | 8:34 pm |
Bookworm's Paradise
Today Dad and I went to the annual Lifeline Bookfest....millions of books for minimal cost, it was great! I ended up getting 12 books for $14. I would have gotten more but I had to carry them a fair way back to the car (as you cold imagine parking was at a premium) and didn't want to give myself a hernia in the process. Next time I'll be more prepared. Some people had huge wheelie-suitcases which they piled full of books - now that's dedication! Current Mood:  satisfied | | Monday, May 26th, 2003 | | 1:26 pm |

Hmmm it has been a few days since my last rant. Nothing much to write about really, but there you go. I'm in a quandry as to what to do about working overseas. Do I go now or do I wait a few months? WHERE do I go for that matter? Hmmm questions to ponder...maybe I need some third party advice.... Current Mood:  restless | | Wednesday, May 21st, 2003 | | 9:52 pm |
Time to Vent My Spleen...
What is it with some people when they find a new love interest, and all other friendships cease to matter? Oh what a fucking barrel of laughs I had tonight, NOT. I was meant to be going to the movies (a free showing at the local club, thank GOD not a paid session!) with my 'friend', his girlfriend and his bro. Anyhow, S and his gf were an hour late picking me up, therefore we were so late to the movie, so we had to sit at the back for the first half and I couldn't read the subtitles coz I didn't have my glasses, therefore had no idea what the hell was going on. I am one of these people who HATE it when others are late - 5 or 10 minutes, fine, anything over that and you'd better have a good excuse. What was theirs? "Oh we were busy on the computer and at 6:30 I was like well we'd better come and pick you up soon even though I said we'd be there at 6pm, but I know you don't mind." Heres a newsflash: YES I DO FUCKING MIND!!! It put a dampner on the whole evening and I made his bro take me home afterwards because I didn't want to be the third fucking wheel at dinner. I'm pretty sure they know I'm not amused (to say the least!) and I feel bad about the girl coz she was nice and was obviously making an effort to make friends etc. She probably thinks I'm a bitch, but at this stage I really couldn't give a tin shit. Ok, had to get that off my chest. Trivial shit I know, but it really hurt that suddenly I am put on the backburner and don't even seem to matter. Well S is going to find out pretty fast that I am not one with whom to fuck! Current Mood:  infuriated | | Monday, May 19th, 2003 | | 9:02 pm |
Too much time on my hands!
I was a bad girl yesterday, and splurged money on four DVDs. I ended up getting American Pie 1/2, Batman Forever and Detroit Rock City, yay! Going to see the Matrix 2 tomorrow. I am such a movie-maniac at the moment! Current Mood: apathetic | | Saturday, May 17th, 2003 | | 9:20 pm |
