Yep, that's basically all I've been doing since I returned from China. Having a week or two off after coming back from a long holiday is good and relaxing, and perfect for getting back into routine. But after that it starts getting boring and a bit frustrating (at least for me).
Been applying for lots of places. Have gotten a few calls, had a few interviews - and a few more coming up. Just hope that I'd be able to get one that is suitable soon. By suitable I mean not being too monotonous of a role, giving opportunities for career progression but at the same time not being a crazy, hectic job which requires lots of late nights and overtime. I'd happily give up a bit of salary to get more balance so I can still do the things I love doing and start planning things I want to do.
Things I want to do at night during weeknights (on the assumption I have a job)
- Continue learning Mandarin Chinese.
- Complete a subject or two at bible college.
- Play in a touch footy competition or at least socially.
- Start going to singing lesson or continue bass guitar lessons.
- Finish that one subject left on my Masters.
- Keep regularly attending weekly CORE gatherings.
- Have time to contribute at RICE and plan for AYC 2007.
In a change of subject, how annoying are 'Today Tonight' and 'A Current Affair'. They have to be the two worst shows on free to air television at the moment. I never really liked the show but in the last few years it's gotten worse in its reporting of useless and ridiculous news. The recent furore about Schappelle Corby's sister and the private investigator and all the lying and scandals is just plain stupid. Why does it take up such an important timeslot? Yesterday there was a 10-15 minute report questioning if 'homework is good for children'. They call this news? They call these current affairs? Just my two cents and a bit of a rant.
Braggin Writes (Song of the Week)Watch out for this guy - Black Milk. This guy is coming straight out of Detroit, home of the late J-Dilla (R.I.P), Royce Da 5'9 and everyone's favourite white rapper, Eminem. Not only does this guy emcee, he's also a talented producer (ala Kanye West).
This is one of the singles off his debut album 'Popular Demand'. The song is called 'Sound the Alarm' and it's H-O-T! Check it out - Black Milk. Watch the YouTube video for the song here.

HI Kris,
This is Dorcas, the one from chruch that speak better mandarine than you. haha.
Singing lesson is great and yeah, I hate those 2 TV programme too, so I don't even watch them, just have to read about their lies in the newspaper the next day is enough!
haha...'Current Affairs and Today Tonight', the fact that you guys know so much about it and keeps watching them, means they have attracted your attention. They want u guys to watch it, not have to like them. at least Anna C is better that Naomi W.
Cheerios,
I hate anna, have anyone seen her face in the TT advertisement, she is not smilling, and making a sad or stern or to my eyes, ugly face! she is trying to look serious but man, it doesn't work!
Well DCas, i have to agree with your eyes this time. She is tryng to smile and to look stern at the same time.. of course, it doesn't work.
Maybe you guys should switch to 'Bondi Rescue' or 'Airport Security'...they are as good as Mundane and Desperate Housewife...haha. (I don't normally watch Bondi Rescue but yesterday, they lost a man in the sea!!- dead).
