BOXING DAY~~~.....sale?

So, what am i doing? WATCHING CRICKET!~~!~!~!

Come on ozzies~!~!!~

It looks like this year's cricket will be a tough one, India's bowling well, and our openers aren't as confident. The ball's swinging early and Phil Jacques has no idea. I mean, sure he's a good batter, but he just doesn't have the experience to deal with such a big event. Anyway, we'll see what happens......

In other news: www.WhatsOpen.com.au had it's biggest visitor spike yesterday =) most of it coming from google, people looking for the 24 hour shopping venues...... which indicates a good suggestion as to where i could find potential sponsors ~!~!

that put aside.....

Two Thumbs up for Preston Drive in Flowers, they're open 24 hours, and they delivered in a very short time frame, on Christmas day =)

And the bouquet was very nice indeed!


Anyhow, so where was i.............. hmmmm, been watching more regenesis....... i like the person who plays Bob, he's a really good actor =)

OK, back to watching cricket!

What Have I Been Watching Lately?

Ok, so i've been a couch potato, well, a desk chair potato lately and i've been watching quite a lot of new tv shows,

the first is The Big Bang Theory!


Lolz, this is such a funny show. It's about nerds and how they can't communicate with girls properly hahah and the chick is their new neighbour =p 8/10


The second is ReGenesis. This is quite a full on series. It's drama as well as Medical/Biological. It's intense coz there's alot of mystery as well as jargon. Basically it's about solving biological diseases and mysteries. It's overall a pretty good show.... i'm still only upto the end of season 1 =) 7/10
Besides that, i'm trying to do some pushups again..... sorta stopped doing them, but my right shoulder's been giving me some pain and yeah, probably need to build up some muscle so, pushups it is =p

Merry Christmas! Christmas Carnival at Church



Note to self: Don't underestimate God's power to work, things all worked out in the end with nameless people mentioned =p

Don't put half your heart into it

Frustrated.

If you want to do something, do it properly.

Don't intiate something that you're not going to go through with 100%.

I don't like it when someone asks me to 'assist' them and then i find that i'm meant to do it ALL.... ie organise what's happening, how it should happen, when things should happen, what's better, how it will be arranged, how it will be executed.......

i'm slightly fed up with this person, because it's not the first time this has happened........i mean, no offense or anything, this person is fantastic at what they do, but working out priorities and managing time and resources is soo way off with this person that they shouldn't be in the position they are in, because it affects not just themselves but also others................

very disappointed....

Another day in the office

Sigh

It's kinda frustrating working with people who are slightly slack and slightly dunno what they're doing.

At times, it's fun coz you don't have to do anything, but if you want to actually do something, and be productive, it does get frustrating..... especially when you're new and they've been around, but you think you know a bit more than they do, and they want to do it their way, but you actually know of a quicker and easier way.

Hahah, so anyhow, work today wasn't very interesting, did a few microsoft exchange rollouts and then went for coffee..... there's this place on grattan street, next to dominos pizza, it has an awesome mocha coffee, you should give it a go if you're around there!

I also tried KFC's new 9inch filler, that wasn't too bad either! But not really worth the money.....

My blog seems to always revolve around food lolz!

So let's continue.... the other night i had a kebab/souvlaki from stalactites and it was too salty, so that's a bummer, i think they always have it too salty, don't think i'll go back =p


anyhow, was supposed to have dinner with friends tonight but i have other things to do, so yeah guess that'll have to wait for another day, probably thursday...... hmmmm

Kerry's going to Baraki tonight, so depending on how long i take tonight, if it doesn't take too long, i might go and join them.

Last night i beat Simon in singles =) I was quite proud of how i was playing..... still learning to drop properly and consistently.... time will tell........ injuries to my ankles are slowly healing (coz i'm playing at the same time as letting them recover) and my right rotary cuff muscle is a little sore.... i think i need to do more pushups hmmm coz i stretch for a decent amount of time, so it shouldn't be that, maybe it just needs a bit more assistance in the "buildup muscle" stage.

I find my backhand clears are getting worse, but that's a good thing, i'm using more overhead clears, which is what you're MEANT to do....... i only use my backhand for smashes now if someone tries to serve high to my backhand =)

Manchuria Bar = decent drinks

Ok, so after such a long absence of blogging, i've decided to sort of start blogging again........ why? coz of a someone who cries alot *hint* thought that it's probably good to......... and also coz i'm a bit bored and i do have some spare time here and there to actually do this.

Ok, so where should i start......... hmmmmmmmmmm, let's have an update of what's been happening.....

Daren came back from Malaysia, had dinner with him and the eng boys and Kim's parent's friend's house, which was basically a whole lot of guys pigging out and we still couldn't finish all the food let alone the heinekens

Went to Manchuria Bar last night. Awesome bar. Well, maybe coz we had like a whole bench and corner for ourselves and there wasn't too many people, the mood was good, and we could just sit around and talk. Had a few cocktails there.... the Sezerac, Pineapple something or rather, and i also tasted a bit of the Bellini and the Zombie.

I won't go into too much detail, but i quite liked the night....... i had a stalactites kebab after that........ it was really salty.... i don't think i'll go back anymore.........

on another note............ YES, I JOINED FACEBOOK....... sigh....... what's the world coming to...... anyhow lolz, i also added a http://www.whatsopen.com.au group and it's going well..... =)

Resurrection and Revival?

Could this be an epic moment where Eric's rambles begin again?

Time will tell, i'm sleepy atm, so i want some sleeep time =p
