June & July 2006

These 2 months have been really hectic for me...changing to a new job and moving out of my city pad. Nic decided to move in with Tim, and living alone is too expensive for me, so I moved in to Wil's place since Max found a job in Sydney and moved out a month before, I took over his room. And yes, decided to tell the Commonwealth to get stuffed! I have been working there for nearly a year as a casual full time staff, and when my team leader put me and 2 other colleagues up for permanency, they rejected the proposal. So we got annoyed and started looking for jobs elsewhere and I was really lucky to find one in a week!!! When they heard that me & Lisa had been offered permanent roles by Members Equity, they decided to offer the permanent position. What the...?? Stuff that!! What do they take us for?? So yeah...major changes all at the same time. Over those few weeks, was so busy cleaning up the city pad, had to make sure it was in good condition so that we can claim our bond and also packing up all my shit. Sat July 15, moved into where I am now in Preston, and on Tues July 18th, started my new job in ME. Exciting. Love changes, and for the better too. I used to hang out over at Wil's place over the weekends, it was sorta my weekend getaway...and now that I've moved in, hmmm....no more weekly refuge after that...kinda weird. But anyhooos, I still hang out with some ex-colleagues and try to catch up over lunch or after work drinks on Fridays.
Lisa, my Aussie mom, I have lunch with her at least once a week. The most loveable character you can find. She decided to stay on with the Commonwealth Bank instead of leaving for ME when they offered us permanent positions...(the bastards!#$^&$%@!)

16/06/07: Wahab on his last day in the CBA, the nicest Indian guy you will find, (his wife has an Indian restaurant in Mornington, and I tell you what, the food is just GRRREeaaat!!! He occasioanaly brought us some of his wife's cooking for lunch and me and Lisa would go crazy over them in the tea room. One of the best Northern Indian cuisine you will find, and for me anyways, it's worth the hour and a half drive out to the coast if you feel like good Indian food....mmmmm.....plate licking worthy curries....seriously!). I'll tell you more bout it later...

Shane...aaahh...this kid, he's a sweetie. Just 21, raging hormones...and a party goer. Used to hang out with him and Pali (this hot Sri Lankan chick whose age you will never guess...) on Fridays after work
1/07/2006: Shannie's Bday

11/07/2006:Lisa's Birthday balloon at work...recycled as you can see....

27/06/2007: World Cup - Australia vs Italy (the dirty bastards...!!!@#^%@*!!)

Me & Wil at the Yarra next to the Fed Square...as you can see, my face here is rounded...effects of winter and too much lamb bristet stews (the most fattening stuffs...)

21/07/2006: Pali (this photo doesn't do her justice...later, I'll show you a better one) & Lisa, we were just sitting out in the sun...don't get much of it this time of the year....

2 weeks after we had a lamb stew steamboat at my place, we discovered the dices in the bowl (we normally play some drinking dice games)...amazing stew remnants + dices in bowl....it just wouldn't drop no matter how hard we shook the bowl...hahahhaha....
