Quote I just have to share

Taken from the episode about revenge in season 18 of the Simpsons. It parodies the Count of Monte Cristo, Revenge of the Nerds and the first Batman film of 90s.

Lisa: The moral of the story (after recounting the story of Revenge of the Nerds) is that when you take revenge you become as bad as the one that hurt you

Homer: No, the moral of the story is, never put down your weapon!

This had me in stitches, hehe, really, it was a good episode!

Work

Though I do love my job and the people at work, things do occassionally do get 'bumpy' and today for the first time I showed my scary face to someone who did not expect it.

It was weird, although it was unintentional, it worked.

It was an inner strength, or maybe a strength released from within with the help of someone above?

In any case, I hate being 'antsy'with anyone and being a very meek creature, love peace more than war.

I am struck by the innocence of those around me who show a love and passion for God that I have not felt for some time. I feel like the proverbial seed that was dropped on shallow soil, a plant sprouted from the seed but was choked by weeds and burnt by the sun.

It is difficult being me, but everyone has problems and I'm so grateful sometimes for the small things in life.

As a result of leaving only $10 in my bank account this week, for the first time in many a year I was left stranded with $5 at lunch time in martin place in the city. I was not left with much after getting a pie for $3.50, my money slowly dwindled as I bought a coke zero and other miscellaneous items. Finally at 5.45pm today, I had 25c left in my pocket. A very humbling experience.

Ohanami in Shinjuku Gyoen Park

My cousin just sent me some snaps of his family taken at the ""Ohanami" festival in Japan.

Beautiful snaps, cherry blossoms in the park. "Hana"means flowers in Japanese, "Mi"refers to "viewing or looking"" - flower viewing in a park in Shinjuku in Spring weather. Sounds like heaven!
I think they drink sake during this time too hehe

By request

I'm stuck on youtube watching movie trailers.

I want to watch "forgetting Sarah Marshall". It's got Jason Segel as the male lead, you may recognise him as Marshall from "How I met your mother".

He's got a very good natured look about him and a look that makes me wanna laugh.

Also out on the silverscreen is "Semi pro"starring Will Ferrell. Looks good too!

With my C2 Finsia exam out of the way I feel as free as a bird! I can't wait to get to work tomorrow (I know I'll regret saying this!) but I can't wait to get back to normality and to life back in the office.

Now I've got more time to update my blog too =)
