Haven't posted for ages

I'm researching the KPMG website for info on the company in preparation for my interview 3pm this Wednesday. I've never had a interview at a megaorganisation before so this will be first! Anyway fingers crossed and faith in God that its meant for me and I'll get the job ;)

Today attended a friend's wedding at St Thomas Anglican church in North Sydney, so close to school! Very nice ceremony and it was really meaningful. Nice place to get married, church was one of those old traditional cathedral type churces but not gothic.

Anyway, I've been enjoying my temp paralegal assignments over the last three weeks. Its been really fun getting to meet new people in the same boat as me and experiencing work in different law firms across the city.

I was in a big firm on Thursday located in 1 Farrer Place, which was really slick. Huge building, reminds me of those huge skyscrapers in Hong Kong and Singapore.

Brother's graduation

Another milestone! Little bro's graduation at UNSW.

He was lucky, it was as if God smiled down us as the clouds parted and the sun shone albeit a little too brightly.

The ceremony was over in little more than an hour, David Gonski, Chancellor gave a speech closely resembling the one I heard at my own graduation but he managed to charm and impress us again.
On the other hand the speech given by the Managing Director of Australian Broadcasting Corporation was a little irrelevant and sounded more like a promotion of his own company. But I get his point though, people should consider working in the public service to contribute more to the community.

So lest I forget the two pieces of advice the chancellor gave the graduands today, number 1:- Alumni and number 2:- community.

So I'm worn out from travelling north, east to north again, to south and then northwest.

Looking forward to the future

What do I have to fear? Since coming back old fears, problems and insecurities have surfaced. What has changed? Not much!

I've got my "mojo" back, at a time most unexpected. Took a walk after dinner and watching "Bondi Surf Rescue", my perspective changed and I've once again found that fire that I seem to lose! So I'm looking forward to the future again ^^

So tomorrow is my brother's graduation which I'm looking forward to. At this time last year it was my turn funnily enough. Hope that the weather report clears up tomorrow morning and we'll have some sun ;)

Upsetting things

I was going to blog about how the guy on Top Gear, BBC show about cars, was quite upsetting. I don't like the host guy, he's just mean. Don't like how he makes fun of others. Anyway I do like the show though, I thought it funny how a greyhound can beat an Mx5 around a track.

Upsetting thing number two:- Cityrail! After taking more than twice as long to get home and enduring another uncomfortable tiring ride home on the train tonight its strikes me that nothing has improved since I left. It's shocking that the undoubtedly most prosperous and developed city in Australia has a transport system worse than developing nations'. Even K.L trains come on time, somebody do something!

Upsetting thing number three:- lack of good government for fair New South Wales. Both Labor and Liberal have no adequate plans to improve public transportation and the state for that matter. Why should the premier state be stuck with bad politicians?! Doesn't make sense to me.

Don't you just hate it when...

you overeat after dinner. I had, in the following order:- ski berry light yoghurt, brie cheese, two slices of brown bread with two slices of kraft cheese, 20g of dark chocolate, 7.5ml of Sprite and half a quart of milk. It's not going down well!

anyway I'm listening to Sergio Mendez's "Timeless" featuring India Arie, I highly recommend it! Time for bed, blog later.

Family guy relief

Now watching family guy for post OC finale watching relief. Feeling very distressed after watching the end of a T.V show which I've watched since 2003, well more or less watched as I didn't really tune in 4th season.

It was poignant, in a O.C type of way, but I guess I'm upset as it marks an end of an another era. High school dramas don't have the same affect on me anymore, its time to embrace the beginning of the end of youth and the embrace impending middle agedness.

Sad but true, but not all is lost. Anyway getting back on topic, I liked the finality of the series and how Sandy Cohen's words, "things have a way of coming back" do ring true, not just in relation to T.V shows but in relation to life.

Ok back to family guy so I can sleep properly tonight. Nothing like high quality puerile humour.

Bleary eyed on Sat night

I'm staring at my pc screen, just feel like writing, feel like escaping the world and its problems for just a little while and lose myself in something else.

Had a full on day. Woke up, got ready to get out and then noticed that one of my fish looked sick. Quickly measured the prescribed dose using the formula on the back of the fish medicine bottle, added the green and blue solution, fed the fish and ran off. Arrived at Homebush tennis centre 12.10 and had a bit less than three hours hours of tennis in the midday sun. Wah so tiring!

Iceblock in the pro-shop/tennis booking office, cooled down and then lunch at Rhodes shopping centre. Hm Japanese food...cold soba with extra "shoyu" and wasabi. haha got confused when paying the bill but worked it out in the end, all good!

Attended a 21st, disney/pixar theme. Was fun, tiring, a little nostalgic. Now I'm at home, tired, legs sore despite my stretching this afternoon before tennis, a little depressed and looking for escapism. Look forward to stretching out on my bed and reading "Eldest", the sequel to "Eragon" before nodding off.

Nite!
