Ok so ya I'm heading back to Auckland on 5/12 to work and live. Wish me luck, pray for me, sing me a song, all that jazz... cheers. Quietly happy, but sad to be leaving people behind again. De ja vu hehe. Excited, but lazy to pack ...

My wife the murderer!

*WARNING MURDER MYSTERY SPOILER ALERT*

It was chilling to discover my beloved wife was in fact my killer. How is it I am still alive to tell the story you say? Well a terrible twist occurred you see. In love with my lesser identical twin brother Drake but married to the better twin Hans (myself), she unknowingly shot and killed her lover who was wearing my Doctor's coat... oh didums, poor Drake! Before discovering this, the evil wench disclosed her eternal love and sleazy affair to me (Hans) unknowingly thinking I her lover.. haha.

Twas a night full of surprises, twists and turns. Uncovering the sordid underbelly of Brighton Hospital and its residents. This was of course a murder mystery and no I am not in fact a prestigious Doctor. Hmm, new career path?? Haha I think not. Definitely recommend it to those that haven't been involved in one before. Was so much more going on than what I mentioned in these meager comments. Do you want to know more?

Thanks Stef for organising it. Cheers to all involved for making it so fun and engrossing.

Updates and happenings

So ya, whats been happening. I know updates are few and far between. Quite erratic as one friend put it *wink*.

The car hit and run was a bit of a roller coaster ride. My hopes in finding the dastardly Muttley and claiming repair costs were low one moment, high and hopeful the next. Day to day my fortunes changed completely. Chasing down the butt head who whacked my car was a complete loss in the end, police case is now officially closed.. I'm left with the bill.

Have been feeling a lot happier these last weeks after the tumultuous times of the previous months. Plagued by uncertainty and my changing mind, leading to too much anxiety for ones good.

Recently, I've thought about getting back into travel consultancy again, my previous career. I'm really quite excited by the idea to be honest. I miss the industry, the day to day job, the interactions with people. A couple of opportunities have become apparent recently, yet just today seems one door is shutting, perhaps was never really open.. "whilst positions are a possibility in the future" maybe so, but can I wait? I'm not sure.. I'm hungry to do something meaningful again. My Dad used to say a "bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". If door number two opens, I think it would be pretty hard to turn down. Need to pray harder for those doors to open for me. I'm really hungry for some change and a chance to settle into something.

I'm importing a car from Japan.. This is something I did 5 years back with my Civic. Then it was for my personal car, this time it's a small business plan I intend to work on building if all goes well.

ADDITION: In the last day I have watched the first 15 episodes of How I Met Your Mother. LOL I'm addicted for sure, this is great. Why did I wait so long...

Well thats all folks.

Bad things come in three's

"They" say bad things come in three's. I thought I had only had two, but then I remembered about item one a week earlier.

1. Running down George Street, my cellphone fell from my pocket and kinda broke.
2. My car got collected by a red van while parked outside my house. It's kinda broken.
3. I dropped my camera and it certainly broke.

You know, I don't care. Just getting on with things.

Our day

Ya yesterday is our day, 14 October.

A new day, a new start :)

Life is like Seinfeld

Those who know me well will ultimately know of my love for and complete joy I receive from watching the most amazing show ever. I sit and watch the shows back to back, laughing out loud at the sheer Seinfeld'ness that is a part of our every days. Of course most of us are not as completely neurotic, superficial and just sheer whacked out as these guys, but what makes it great is just how much truth their is in the social commentary of the show.


You know some people watch endless amounts of what I call "caustic TV" - that which stresses and winds you up tighter than before. There is no chance to relax or de-stress from the troubles and stresses of life watching it. It's crime shows, angry hateful reality shows and weekly episodes from some neighbourhood depicting "life" - full of failed marriages, arguments, cheating spouses, divorce, murder, pain and suffering. This isn't life and certainly not what we should fill ourselves with.

Laughter truly is the medicine of choice for me. Seinfeld for me is life. It is intoxicating therapeutic goodness that I thank God for. Man I wish I'd had the knowledge and foresight to watch a live screening of this show while it was still in the making. Alas it can never happen, maybe one day I could meet Jerry, George, Kramer or Elaine. One can dream.
