To live a life worth living..

apparently the best city to live..

Another man's trash is another man's treasure.

Some random lyrics from a Mario song.
Anyways I'm getting ready to head down to Melbourne to enjoy the highlights of this cosmopolitan city. I haven't been there for a couple of years so i'm excited to see what useless creations and monumnets they have built around the city. I will be meeting up with Mr Eric Butter Bae who has been using his University room as his second home so hopefully I can take him around and show him what Melbourne can truly deliver.

I have been hit by some stomach bug (acute gastrological something technical name) and I was practically KO'ed. The only motivation to get up was to visit my regularly acquainted Mr Toilet. I didn't realise how much this virus would affect the rest of my body because it made me really weak. All the foods that I ever wanted just didn't register. Although Sarah made some deliciously looking Pasta, i knew i had to stop myself. I apologise also for the toilet interruptions.

I am looking forward to next week as i start my new job at the Hilton Sydney. This placement has been a long time coming and it feels weird that i will actually be starting something i know i will enjoy. Just being inside a hotel gives me shivers and excites me. Its really hard to describe. I wrekon it would be the same feeling that an accountant gets when they walk into a room full of bookkeeping records..or maybe a lawyer walking into courtroom. Actually, i don't know. I guess the parallels aren't proving very similar at all.

I read in the SMH today that
Workers in Seoul, South Korea, work the longest.

It was a very interesting article and it begs me to consider that Koreans are known for their weird work cultures and ethics. After working in Korea, it would take a whole deal to take me back there.

Anyways have a happy 21st birthday Chewy. I feel honoured to have created your nickname!

Currently Listening
Live in Buffalo: July 4th 2004 (CD & DVD)

Track 19: Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Gayeon said this perfectly when she said that this is one of the songs where you feel like you are
under a plane flying past you on the runway, with your arms stretched out, seeing dust and grass
brush past your ears and finally seeing the plane take off into the sky.
Such a relapse in thought that was.

Anyways just wanted to say a goodbye to Eunice who will be taking another trip on the Duolous
boat for two months. Have a safe one.
Also I have one more week left until I start work again. This week is definitely going fast at times and
dreadfully slow at other times.

Proverbs 2:1-8
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,
and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if
you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of
God. For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and
understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a
shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of
the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.
