In Good Company

I went to watch the show with Consumate, Monkey and Cashman yesterday. To me it wouldn't have qualified as a Good movie, maybe an above average. But it struck a large chord in me. All thru last night and this morning. I was trying to pin point what it was.

I was trying to match what Charter has experienced to mine and I see many similarities in a certain way. To sum it. What happened to him in the end was an intriguingly close example of my worse nightmare... Loosing a job, wife, companion and ultimately alone. It didn't help that he played a 26 year old (not that I really know his real age) in the movie. Which is the same as mine!!

Patrick once told me that you were the greatest 'con artist' I know. Sometimes I feel that way about me. There was a scene in the movie where he was going to start his job at this new firm as the head of department (at 26!!) and he told the lady (Alex) 'I have no idea what I am doing!... Don't tell anyone...'. As a Consultant I sometimes feel this way...

He also in another scene told Alex again 'Sometimes I feel that I'm gonna peak at 26... This is it! and it's gonna be downhill from here...'. I feel that too! Most of the time I guess it's because I have become such a lukewarm christian that I feel that all the blessings He has given me... my career, my wonderful wife, my education, my LIFE basically... would soon run out... And this big con artist will be revealed and I will end up with nothing... (running on the beach to nowhere and the credits will come out...)

An even more morbid feeling to all this is that when I got this rush of emotions at the end of the show... A sudden gush of depression flashed through my body... Though it is now gone (as I am seeing Kat tonight ), I suddenly felt like 'hey hello... long time no see...' to mr. depression. Almost feeling at home for a moment there. Does one long to be depressed? Or even miss depression/loneliness?

Heh... just my thoughts...

Why is consummate, Consumate

Consummate:

• Make a marriage or relationship complete by having sexual intercourse (as defined by Oxford paperback Dictionary)
• a. To complete (a marriage) with the first act of sexual intercourse after the ceremony.
  b. To fulfill (a sexual desire or attraction) especially by intercourse.

So... why do you think Consumate uses consummate? hmmm...

I feel like I just came back from another dimension!

The OZ lifestyle

Actually it should have been called 'my lifestyle in OZ' but anyway... Working full-time and studying part-time sure isn't easy... That's why I haven't been blogging recently.

Guess this entry is just trying to update you guys about what's been happening... Let's see...

Babies!

NO we are not having a kid as yet... But many people seem to be... My boss is at the hospital with 'Lau pan niang' right now waiting for the baby's arrival. Also Jasmine, my cousin also had a 'miracle' baby boy called Gilbert. Congratulations guys! Do send photos yah? I say miracle because the doctors has actually told her she could not have children before but God has blessed them with the medically impossible! Kinda like me! Hee.. Doctors had also told my mum that medically it was impossible for her to have a kid... but guess what... Harlow!!!

Anyhoo... to top that all off... we may be venturing into the 'selling baby clothes' business... that also means we've got sponsor for out kid's clothes from 0-5yrs old for FREE!... Heehee...

Travelling Blues

As most of you would already know I travel over Australia more often than most.... The most recent encounter was the funniest. I was supposed to fly on an evening from Canberra back to Brisbane. However, I was done in the afternoon and was at the aiport with lot's of time to kill. Just trying my luck, I went up to the ticketing counter and asked if I could fly earlier... he checked my ref number and the time then asked me to quickly go to the check in counter and then tell me I'm on the next plane which is leaving in 20mins! So I rushed through the whole process... going through the detectors fumbling to get my laptop and my suite jecket and stuff... so funny... last minute oso can get tix like that...

Back Home

I am back home from the business trip to parramatta. it was rainy and cold for the first 2 days my manager and i were there. had the feeling of brissy's winter in advance.

the work was alright. on thursday night, we even have time to go for a quick shopping trip at a nearby shopping mall. and it is huge. my manager needed to get something to wear for a garden wedding this weekend so we went to look around.

will put up some photos soon. though i have to say, they are pretty boring coz we didn't get too much chance to travel around.
