But fark it. I think what happened today is much more interesting.So today I had to pull a back to back shift i.e. close the shop on Sunday and open the shop today.

Went to work early came home late. Intention was to go to the gym and more often than not I succeed. But sometimes, just sometimes, you have to listen to your body. I am not often good at listening to my body. I will for the most part push my body to it's limits and just die afterwards.

But I have my reasons. Yesterday was a really long day for me. I woke up at 730 and went to the gym from 8 till 9, then went to work from 11-6, then went on a partner night out from 730 onwards. So hence, no bloggage. Not that there was anything interesting to report anyway.The partner night out was pretty good as it had been almost half a year since the last one.

How sad! Normally, I'd work only Sunday (and that only because we are short staffed) but this weekend I had to work the Saturday aswell. But that was my own doing as I took swapped my Tuesday shift so I could study for my mid session. All good though as I think I kicked ass in the mid session.

Supposed to be studying but as usual procrastinated a bit and now it is 5pm. Really should be studying as the 2% class test we did last week took us 2 hours and this was with hints from the lecturer.

I bunged my knee 4 hours into Saturday meaning I spent 4 hours there after by myself as my knee had swollen up to the size of a basketball. But it was all good.

If anyone knows what this is you are one serious nerd. But anyway, to those uninformed about 'the butterfly effect' it has to do with 'Chaos Theory'. And no Beck, I do not mean the chaos as reflected by your room. But anyhow, back to the 'Chaos Theory':

I am having one of those moments of restlessness. You know the kind.

I am who I am, or am I?
I don't have any idea why I was thinking about my own personality trait (most likely due to the extremely boring stats tutorial I was attending this morning) But it was interesting to look back at where I was and who I was a few years ago compared to whom I am now.

I can officially say with hand on heart that I call Sydney home. I truly missed 'home' when I was in Malaysia for the quickie 7 day trip of last week. As much as I am a Malaysian I am just as much an Australian (probable more an Australian now more than a Malaysian!)

Ohkay not that far back..but back to last Friday anyhow...
And trust me it seems like a damn long time ago..
I woke up late (10am yes, that is late for me!) today though not intentionally (it never is intentional is it! hehe). The intention was to wake up early (7am) and complete a whole list of chores I had set myself to do before I left (I ended up doing 1 outBig Bad Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01172773188150221608noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979703.post-1090329628402957892004-07-20T22:42:00.000+10:002004-07-20T23:20:28.403+10:00Venting (part 2...)

Ohkay, I'm not that annoyed.
Tardiness..
Always the case of the day with me of late and as a result of last mondays encounter I guess this week has made it more sensitive for me. Am I just too anal for my own good? Makes me wonder. Of course I am of the realisation that shit happens. It does.

I am extremely volatile at the moment. And I really don't like it. I know when I am getting this way when my blood curdles and I can feel pulsing in my head. I don't often get this way but for those situations where something really stirs me and sends my brain waves into over drive. And as I said, I don't like it.

Had an awesome training last night. It was good being back! But I've already re-iterated this fact in the previous blog. This blog is just about motivation in what I am doing at the moment in all things attempted may that be sport, work or play!
Here are some quotes of late from a few relavant people (and one not!) who have really inspired me to train like nothing else!

I made a triumphant return to Australian training the other night. Although not putting in a 100% was a struggle (especially for me when 110% is the norm!), I was aiming for around about 80% and it felt mighty good to be out on the water again.

Jeez it feels like the longest week for me.
Because I am on uni holidays at the moment I have decided to work at Starbucks full time. Which means 37.5 hours (generally) of 'What size sir/maam? Short? Tall or Grande?!!'. Why do I say generally? I say generally because I think I have actually worked more than that, I'm thinking more about 45 hours.

I feel so invigorated. No work, no uni and today no training. Actually there was training and I would have went had I not slept in till 12. Ohwell..It was a good sleep in though. Haven't felt this relaxed in ages. And when I say ages I mean ages!

Thank goodness for that. Last one today and I am so over the moon that it's over. I'm not going to get no high distinction ala Marissa but I am going to pass. And mind you, at this very moment with the goings on in my life, that is all I'm asking for. If I get a credit, it may aswell as be a distinction! Haha.. But I am happy, I can finally get some decent sleep and rest..

It seems that life is full of farewells does it not? You say farewell to your friends as they leave to start a new chapter of their life, you say farewell to the girlfriend that was not meant to be, you say farewell to the grandparent (or grandparents in my case) who has passed away and in return they say farewell to you.
I must say I have said my fair share of farewells Big Bad Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01172773188150221608noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979703.post-1087202247560871212004-06-14T17:58:00.000+10:002004-06-14T18:37:27.560+10:00Aaaaarrgghhhh!

Well evening anyway!
Just a short blog to recognise the achievement of the day and the fact that time trials for the OZ DB team is over! Finally, after many weeks of anticipation, many weeks of grinding it out at the gym and on the water it is all done. I must say it is such a relief to get it over and done with.

And mind you a lot has happened in between those takes. But have no fear. It all begins with a little change, a little modification, some alteration and a whole lotta blog-ation.
Blog-ation :
1. The act of blogging
2. The new nation of blog.

Before I get consumed by the whole reflection of the year write up (now to think of it, I will write that after the new year has passed, it would only be right, yes?).

Incident 1:
This morning I really struggled to wake from sleep. I was so tired and sore from the weekends worth of rowing and it didnt really help that I had to work at 630am, meaning getting up at some ridiculous time like 445am to get ready and drive to the station for the 40 odd minutes that it takes to get to the city.

Here I am sitting in some smelly internet cafe writing a blog (I swear I can smell urine!). Why in my right mind would I subject myself to this?
