I have 14 hours of study left… I probably won’t update until I’m done. Sigh. At this rate it’s going to take me three weeks. Lol.

Wish me luck!!

ANZAC Day
Monday April 28, 2008

I have the day off today – Yay!

Moving on… =)

Thanks for the get well wishes. I’m still a little sick, but I am getting better! I now no longer have the flu, and I only have a sinus infection to get over (I think I’ve almost got it whacked).

In fact, I’m feeling so much better that today I went to the shops, bought three books (well, two magazines and one book) and am currently searching for recipes that feature lemons (as they are in season right now). It’s either that or make bread… maybe a nice cheese filled bread…

This last Friday was ANZAC day. I watched part of the service at Lone Pine on TV… I was quite moved by it. I think when I’m older and I have kids, I would like to travel to Gallipoli and attend the dawn service with them. I’m definitely not the most patriotic person in the world, and for the life of me I will never understand the zeal that some people approach our service men and women with, but I recognise the impact of what was done during the first (and second) world wars.

On a much lighter note, I went and watched Street Kings with Vincent last night. I haven’t watched that many movies lately because none of them have looked too appealing to me, and I am so glad that I had vouchers and didn’t actually have to pay to see this one… It was awful! It had the most predictable story line ever, the action was predictable, the cast was deadpan, and well… I was tapping my fingers to try and overcome the sheer boredom.

And even the trailers before the movie weren’t inspiring. Sigh.

One movie that does look good though is Deception. It could be my major weakness for both Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor, but it looks good to me! I wish I had gone to see that last night instead of Street Kings. Oh well =)

It's raining, it's pouring...
Wednesday April 9, 2008

It’s raining… When it’s bad weather it actually looks very pretty from the office, which is where I’m writing this from.

I have the most hectic two weeks coming up (at work) and I have to admit that I’m not really looking forward to it. It’s mostly because the other senior developer in the company is going on leave and I’m going to have to take on a good portion of his work. Sigh.

I also have a Cantonese lesson today, and it’s my Dad’s (60th) birthday this weekend.

Busy busy!!

But what has been happening since my last update? Not too much I have to say. My sister came over the other day, at her wits end with her in-laws who are currently living with her. I feel soooo sorry for her. She’s had them living with her since August last year, in a small two bedroom, one bathroom apartment.

I mean, I didn’t mind living with my future in-laws for a year and a bit before we bought our apartment, but that’s because we were in a many room house.

I would say that no matter how close you are to your in-laws, if you are stuck in such close confines, things are going to be difficult.

But anyway =) It was nice to catch up with her, and I think she just appreciated time away from home.

Not so much happening on the wedding front. I’ve started booking appointments with photographers, so hopefully I’ll have more news next week! I’m still dumbstruck by the fact that there are so many crap photographers out there, charging a premium. It takes more than an SLR to make you a good photographer…

And finally not much happening on the home front as well =) It’s starting to get colder, and it was so cute this morning (at 3am) when the cat patted me on the shoulder, “asking” if she could sleep under the covers. Of course I let her =)

Anyway, must go. Sorry if you lost the thread of this post due to it’s many subjects and messed up order!

Take care!
