2012

I'm not dead if any of you guys are wondering.

I've just had a full on two years of big fish to fry.

I'll try update more this year. But don't count too much on it, it's going to be another year of career climbing and little more.


Anyways a quick review of 2011 from the resolutions I actually penned.

1.  Finish all the Green Belt Forms. That doesn't mean get my Blue Belt. Just finish all the green ones. So i got GBT, Tigerfork and Doublehooks. 1 every four months. Do-able. Missed out on double hooks. Still...not bad all things considered.

2. No yakking from booze. Sickness from sea, bacteria and food is fine. Hahahahahahaa. 

3. See the four letters of ADFS added onto my name. Should be easy. Should be done end of this month. So fail again

4. Save another $10k. Whether in shares or cash. Doesn't matter. Nobody could ever think how much i blew the f%$k out of this goal. I slaughtered this.

I know it doesn't really look like i did very well but trust me, i had an awesome 2011. It was the year of the rabbit and i really made it mine. I'll think up a few more resolutions over the next few days and you guys can enjoy anticipating that.

Hope you all had a brilliant 2011 like i did and an even better 2012.

A Scene From a Movie I dreamed

Just something i was thinking/dreaming of and thought i would share.

They sat under the stars. In one hand, he held hers, in the other he reached for a neatly folded piece of paper in his dinner jacket.

"I wrote you this song"
"Please, sing it for me?"
"I would love to"

And so he sang it to her.

Obsessions Right Now

1. Pens that are 0.7 or below. Even 0.7 on the Uuniball Signo Fine UM-120 is too thick on some days. But it writes beuatifully.
2. Anything related to Koi fish.
3. Brooskfield shirts. I check their online shop everyday, eagerly awaiting for it to open.
4. Typography. Loving the h e l v e t i c a font too much to be healthy. I will also be moving everything to helvetica font.
5. Leadership. Been devouring wiki-articles and autobiographies on leaders. The overall trend? Leaders piss people off and don't care.

You could park another car there

Was in Mount Lawley the other day on some errand and saw this lovely lady park. I thought you could put a 747 in that.

Had to take a snap for you all.

Been missing me haven't you ?

I plan on embarking on a super mega training regime where by the end of 3 months, i want my washing to be done on my abs. It starts tomorrow.

I'll keep you fanatics updated on my progress.

Meet Master Monopoly Man mAlan

Alliteration is always fun. Especially when it doesn't make sense.

Today was a day to play monopoly. And the lesson i want to teach you all today is that even when you have the shitty Purple Pall Mall set, you're in jail, the train stations are split between 3 players, the Picadilly set has been taken, Mayfair and Parklane are charging $1m just to rent; it's not over.

I managed to come from that situation and sweep the game out from my opponents. It was quite a surprising game as many did not see it (duh) and we didn't scream and threaten to kill each other like we normally did.

I remember back as a kid, we use to play and we had some crazy rules. Didn't need a colour set to build, can only build if you land on your own property, four hotels on a property is a possibility, utilities and stations were the worse things ever and screaming and shouting at each other for ???

Even then we didn't give up. IOU to the banks and each other was the currency we traded in. And even now, with this new Monopoly Revolution (times HAVE changed) and proper rules we don't give up.

Don't give up. That's the theme for 2011.

2011 Resolutions

Well seeing as i didn't even bother to make resolutions for 2010, i don't even have to review them.

How much win is that?

Too much.

Anyways, resolutions for this year.

1.  Finish all the Green Belt Forms. That doesn't mean get my Blue Belt. Just finish all the green ones. So i got GBT, Tigerfork and Doublehooks. 1 every four months. Do-able.

2. No yakking from booze. Sickness from sea, bacteria and food is fine

3. See the four letters of ADFS added onto my name. Should be easy,

4. Save another $10k. Whether in shares or cash. Doesn't matter.

Genius bar is neither genius nor a bar

Some of you might know that I recently had problems with my iPhone

I decided that it was time to go to the experts and went to the Genius Bar in Perth with my booking and praying they could fix things.

While the "Genius" tried to restore my dear phone, and he kept pushing me to buy a new iPhone and raved on and on about the iPad in an effort to sell me that too.

I knocked back his advances (pretty sure there were other advances too...) and patiently waited. Praying. Hoping. Begging. All the while my Genius was even so kind as to serve someone else while we waited for my restore. The Genius couldn't hold a conversation with me. ME. ME. ME. ME. M E.

After the restore failed and got the same error message, he suggested I just replace it. That's an original solution. His train of thought must have been like this:

Try a restore. Doesn't work. Sell the boy a new one. 

Woohoo lah-di-f&%ing-dah. Did he not think I even try a restore?

Pretty dissappointed I said I would think about buying a new one because I can't go back to T9 anymore. Like seriously. How do people do it?

I was home last night moping and decided that I'd give it one last shot and went through YOUTUBE to find a solution.

Following an online video of this really fat guy...IT WORKS NOW!

And wtf? No alcohol at a bar?!
