someone

Someone special came along and said hello today. It lifted my spirits. Enough so for me to actually post a link of, perhaps, the greatest piss up house party that I've been too for a long time.

Click on the link to see photos from Ash's PAR-T

Some key highlights:

# Nick was the first to pass out, within 3 hours of opening time
# Breathing in Vodka makes people high and thinks your beloved shisha is a penis
# Too many people puking everywhere
# Aussie Hang Over Cure Pizza. It wasnt a Cure for us, it was dinner.
# Raj & Ash getting kinky in bed. As well as Emma & Lammo.
# Bolivian Coco Leaves drink. Yum - thanks to Z-Man.

Also thank you to the boys (Doogs, Lammo, Ash & Z-Man) for organising a boys night out. Bird watching is now a key element to our lifestyle. Thanks to the Miss Leggy, the Librarian and the Secretary for entertaining us. And brunch in Camberwell.

But most importantly a massive thank you to my friends (both here and abroad). I have never been inundated with so many messages, emails, chats, phone calls, catch ups, dinners and drinks over the past week or so. I really cannot do it without you. I owe everyone something now...

I am still on the mend.

Let's hope that we all get what our heart truly desires.

broken promises...

I will have to say sorry that I am unable to detail the happenings of the last two months or so.

And the pages of this blog will go dead for sometime as a situation has forced me to no longer enjoy reflecting & posting things on to here.

Give me some time and hopefully things will go back to normal.

after hibernation

Back straight into the driving seat. Well not really, just back in the office. My manager has taken some overdue annual leave and I'm taking on his day-to-day responsibilities, plus mine and the projects that he has gotten me to start on. Three pretty big projects. One that could shape how the firm will change its operations.

And as usual.

I'm slack.

The day is almost over and I haven't touched any of the projects. I see piles of paper work, plenty of emails to respond too and excel (and access) is begging me to play with them.

So far, what have I done...?

-> Looked busy.
-> Lunch.
-> Coffee breaks - and lots of them.
-> Looking busy again.
-> Munching on rice cakes (my new snacks at the office).
-> Hanging out with the receptionist.
-> Reading a magazine as "research".
-> Googled random words.
-> Looking at photos.
-> Looked busy again.

Yeah, not bad...

So during hibernation, a few things I noticed. I'm fat. Yep, I admit that I am. I've been gaining weight since the hibernation began. Mainly due to eating and drinking junk - Fatty, greasy food. And sugary drinks. Snacking on chips, lollies and the like. I haven't eaten a decent meal for weeks. I roughly put on 3-4kgs and thanked God that the scales didnt break under the tremendous weight.

So my workout will have to be intense to ensure that the bulging waistline (and sizable love handles) is nice and slim. Shu & Emma has offered some help - which is nice. Alistair wants me to join him in his kickboxing sessions - not too sure about that. But I prefer a weekly (no, make that twice a week) football match. I think swimming is on the cards again. Will have to plan it out and work with it. Oh and plenty of sit-ups and stomach crunches to be done too. I can actually feel my man-boobs jiggling.

I will provide a somewhat detailed report that I promise to do. Just that, I'm feeling slack and cant be bothered to type it up. So, I guess, people just gonna have to wait.
