Slowly falling asleep

I'm slowly but inevitably falling fast asleep in front of my pc monitor. I hope I don't just suddenly drop and hit my head on my nice keyboard.

Oh well, anyway it's the 26th April 2007, my brother's 22nd birthday and it has gone by so quickly. We had dinner at Sakanaya on request of my bro, it was good, pricey, strangely filling though.

My stomach if full of cake, two slices of original Cheesecake and a generous portion of a triple decker Freddo ice-cream cake, I didn't even now such delicacies existed!

Anyway I can take comfort in the fact that I've lost weight, or it appears to be judging from some of the photographs I took at dinner tonight.

Back from Camp!

After yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) and subsequent gastro problems on Friday night woke up nice and early Saturday morning so that I could get to Club O OC Camp in Mt Victoria, Blue Mountains. Arrived more or less at 11am just in time for Game 2.

Camp was great, way more physical than I expected. It was the physically the most rough and competitive church camp that I've ever been to. The games were fun, I especially liked water bomb volleyball and tug of war.

Anyway I'm not feeling too eloquent at the moment so I'll just summarise with a nice pic of my group at camp which a friend sent me =)

My poor neglected blog

Remembered to read other peoples' blogs and then remembered about my own poor neglected blog, aw...

So Easter has come and gone, the working has started again and I'm back to writing cover letters, or rather cutting and pasting... hmm.. haha.. actually not today... I'm starting from scratch for a new position which has caught my eye.

So today I was feeling positively bright as I took cityrail on my soujourn to the city. The train trip took surprisingly short, I was thinking all these brilliant ideas, and not lamenting at the things which always bring me down.

I was watching "Insight" tonight. The topic was "happyness", people from all walks of life including renown Economist Ross Gittins, were talking about happyness, what makes us happy, etc etc... It was an insightful discussion, there was a young guy "coming to the defence of materialism" as the source of happyness, how deluded he is. I think he totally has it wrong, and most of the people in the debate thought so too. I liked a young high school/uni age student's definition of happyness, which is basically a comparative of George Orwell's 1984.
