HELLOOO!!!

Again, i dropped off the face of the planet. There’s nothing interesting happening in life at the moment, and I struggle to find things to say, harharhar. Although, I can always discuss my obssession with toilets….

In point form:

1) I am still the 2IC at my job. Life’s still good, and I am still as tactless as ever. Budgetting meant I still work 10 times harder than what people “expect” managers to be, but I wasn’t looking for a job that lets me do nothing anyways. If not, I would have stayed at my last job and told them to fuck themselves.

2) In my desperation when I was trying to seek my severance pay from my ex-boss, I wrote an email to Kevin Rudd. It took a bit of a round-about, but the Ombudsman emailed me recently (aka 2 months from the event) asking for more details. Despite it being late, I am completely bowled over by how people even cared to forward on my letter of scrambled tears and worry.

3) even though I have a chance to have a “life” now, I realised I have become too domesticated. So far, I have gone swimming, and jogging – and then it’s back to anime, manga, Grey’s Anatomy and WoW. O.o;;

4) I am intensely obsessed with the handrolls from Sushi Sushi (opposite supabarn in the mall) and Nandos BBQ chicken wings. THEY ARE MADE OF GODLY SPICES!!!!

5) my animals are still alive, and Truffle’s still a big pussy. I came home one day, to find that Karma has escaped her cage and was chasing Truffle round the house like engines on legs. or something.

6) Canberra’s still hot. better yet, my shop’s air conditioning died. Now it’s a microwave of dust. by the time I have worked there for 2 hrs, I felt like I have slogged through roadworks or something.

7) Still don’t know results of migration yet. and stop asking already, I don’t see a point of holding on to a citizenship when I won’t be going home that much and I have never really felt that place as home. Home is where the heart is? then Singapore was never in my heart, I am sorry. I love my friends, and I loved celebrating national days since it meant a public holiday and some fireworks and freebies.

The stress and hate I have ever gotten from that place? That never endeared me to it. you guys can go ahead and stay there, it’s your choice. Wonderful that you can and know how to choose – but I am following my own choice, ok? stop asking already.

8) looking ahead and planning for jobs within the public service. I might take part time courses in management at CIT or something, before the end of 2 years. I really suck at being tactful :o

    2) The Ombudsman in independent and takes every request very seriously, and is one of the crucial parts of the Australian legal system. This country is renowned for being ‘fair’ as far as possible and the Ombudsman is a key part of that. So yeah, we are lucky really. Lots of other countries (e.g. the US) don’t have any equivalent thing.

    My company was involved in writing the case tracking software that the Commonwealth Ombudsman uses (and I wrote part of it), and it’s quite amazing the kind of cases like yours that come through there regularly.

    4) Yah! Lets do Nandos some time. Yvette and I had it once last year and damn yeah, I love those spices :D

    6) Lol wait until this weekend. 40 degrees on Saturday and a low of 22 at night. That will be unbearable! We don’t have air conditioning … do you? :(

    7) It will be so amazing to think of you as a permanent resident here! Hope it all goes well. Singapore did seem like that to me – a nice place to visit but I don’t think I’d want to live there permanently. Something just seemed missing (although I guess that’s mostly because it’s a tiny city-state, which are rare these days).
