Wintertime

Lis is going to be done with her exams tomorrow and then it's going to be 4 weeks of bliss before the hustle and bustle of uni life swings back into full gear.

I need to find something constructive to occupy myself with, so far "freelancing" for Peter and Ken don't really count because well, the moolahs aren't coming in. On the other hand, I'm quite interested in the logo for Ken's website… well, the one I created. The one he dictated… not so much lol. I suppose that's part and parcel of a designer's life.

So, iOS 4 huh! Couldn't get my iTunes to connect to the iTunes store so couldn't update my OS from my mac. But managed to update it on Lissy's laptop and oh yeah I'm lovin' it! Really liking the folders although having a limit of 12 apps per folder was a tad irritating, had to remove a couple of apps from my phone but they weren't used at all anyway. On the whole a good OS update!

I'm liking the new trend of carrot top jeans! Check them out I think they look awesome although some might disagree.

This World Cup is one helluva ride! I'm withdrawing my support of Spain and firmly placing it behind Messi and Argentina! And yes, even though my "favourite" team North Korea got their asses handed to them by Portugal, I'm still going to go or Brazil to beat Portugal in their final group match.

Melbourne's getting dangerous. Just yesterday a gunman was loose around the Richmond area which caused a massive police manhunt and disrupted public transport into the city centre. RMIT has taken that into account for candidates who can't make examinations due to the police activity and has allowed for deferment.

That's all for now, hope everybody's having a blast of a holiday!

Revived

This is my first entry from way back in March after the epic skyrun. I was pretty burnt out with uni to be honest so now that I'm done I shall do a quick recap on the past 3 months.

Firstly, I'm back in training for the Run Melbourne half marathon on 18th July! I'm supporting the Australian Cancer Research Foundation by raising funds for them so please help by donating. I know there are lots of other charities I could have picked but I feel that cancer research is a worthy cause and would be extremely beneficial to mankind in the long run. The link below brings you to my fundraising page. I know it's currently at $0 but we've all got to start somewhere.

Lots of exciting events happening this year. Going to catch the Australia vs New Zealand game at Etihad Stadium in July, should be one hell of a match! Also, Run Melbourne would be a warm up/tune up for a step-up training culminating in the Mind Alpine Challenge 2011. As you may or may not know, T.O.U.G.H did not finish this year and crashed out at 132km of the 160km race. My goal is to compete in the solo category next year for the 100km race. Yes, it is 60km shorter but this time I'm fending for myself with no team mate. The series of step-up races leading into Mind 2011 would be the Run Melbourne 21km in July, the St George Melbourne Marathon 42.195km in October, the MR25 Ultramarathon in December, and finally the big one next March.

All talk about training so far, let's have some updates on work. 2nd year's been going pretty well for me. Currently waiting on my results for semester 1, and I'm praying to achieve my goal of "nothing below distinction" for this semester. So far I've got 2 HDs and 3 DIs so I'd be quite bummed if a CR or a PA turned up somewhere.

The World Cup season is on! I've been catching matches so far and I'm proud of the asian countries this year, particularly North Korea if you've been following my incessant status updates on facebook. Highly hopeful of them all reaching the knockout stages. The big names have been hugely disappointing so it's time to step up and make history!

Lastly, my mom and Dion are coming over in July! Dion is enlisting in November so this would be a holiday of sorts for him before he errr… becomes a man. LOL!

Cheers and I would most definitely update real soon.
