5/4/12 Half done, Half to go,

Took long enough but I finally did some yard work. Half done and half to go. Big thanks to my little niece, probably wouldn't have started if she didn't stay the day. Her little smile made it somewhat fun, the time just flew by. The rubbish bin is almost full, have to wait till next week or so to continue. Good work, Good work!

Switching topics...
I have been working a lot lately mainly due to several reasons. The main one is that, in all honestly, I want to move out of home and live with Zoe - if she wouldn't mind. However, the whole idea of rent is something I don't like hence I want my own, well, our own place. Is it wrong to try and work towards this?

With this said, I am also looking into the ASX Stockmarket and thinking about giving it a shot. Its quite vast and there is a lot to learn but I am sure if I am willing I can both learn and make a lot money. Currently doing what I can learning and trying things out. Also, received a interesting proposal from Woolworths limited offering SPP - Share Purchase Plan. So, shares at a lower rate than the market price. How much lower? I am not sure, I am waiting for additional information. Although at this point it is sounding rather interesting after going through their business material and current performance reports.

My Goal: Get enough for at LEAST a deposit for my own, "our" own place next year.

20/1/12 Not my Best day

Had a rather interesting e-mail from someone yesterday. No easy way to say this but in the depth of my well, loneliness I made a profile on a online dating website. On talking terms with someone who made contact with me first, wonder how it all will turn out. Must say I am slightly scared and nervous at the same time. Mixed emotions.

Last night work was terrible. Made so many mistakes it wasn't funny but in the end everyone pulled through and we had plenty of time to spare in the end. I did learn a valuable lesson....

"Do not press the button, hold the button."

Going to bail on a friends 21st tonight. It is something I shouldn't do, but in the interest of saving and making money I have to. I will make sure I make it up to her.

16/1/12 Back to Work.

This T-Shirt says it all.... Been one week from Monday from my operation and like I told work I would go back to work. Contrast to those around me, I feel my leg is just fine and I should have no issues with it. My iPod is set up with a lot of new tracks so I am sure the time will get fly past. Must say I am looking forward to getting a new paycheck that is for sure. My savings has dwinndled since the operation and with no money coming in the past week it has only dropped further. May have to get a second job if I want to make this trip to Japan a reality.

Speaking of which I got the 2nd set of subjects from Kansai Gaidai University approved. Will head to the study abbroad office and hand these forms in. Then I will be able to FINALLY say my Overseas Application is completed.

On another note... Spent a lot of today watching 'The Walking Dead'. Below is the trailer. Perhaps because I have loved the whole Resident Evil franchise since it came out, I am absolutly loving this series. Got the whole generic infection and world taken overrun by zombies thing going for it. I strongly recommend it. For those that don't know, I love http://www.imdb.com and this particular series got rated 8.7.... pretty much a must watch.
