Emmm Yuuuu Emmm

Well that’s as best as I can do it without it spelling out M U M.

Apparently it’s Viet for something affectionate.

But whatever it is it can’t beat ” co-ong mu-oong angh thit cho”

That will be the only phrase I’ll need to know to survive in Vietnam, thanks to you Jessica!

I will not remind you what day it is today, nor will I explain my reason for it in an effort for this to not be a mark on the virtual world highlighting that you’re 24 today.

Thanks for playing a big big role in my life this year, probably much bigger than you realise. And certainly that most likely made you younger this year, because by averaging out our age I get older and you get younger.

But that doesn’t really matter to you, cause you got lost in the maths.

People like you deserve the full weight of my bombastic verbosity to furiously shower you with grandiose compliments, especially at such a time at this, but for some reason, at the mere thought of you, Jessica, I am speechless.

Happy Birthday.

A Little Update

I do apologise for the lack of updates.

But if you want  a guaranteed daily update, you can check out my training journal over here. It’s going good, working out almost every morning, establishing a good habit and routine, that in the long run I hope I will benefit immensely from.

Not only have I got a sort of routine sorted out, I’ve got things I want to do/achieve some what figured out for the meantime. Things that consume my time and/or piqued my interests these days are gym, trading and practicing music.

Well that’s what I think is important right now apart from God.

Gym and trading I’ve got down pat. In that, mornings I go to gym, at work I learn trading. I swear I’ve read more books on trading these few weeks than I have on psychology the past few years in uni.

It’s really good, learning all these aspects of trading that I never realised, and know that in the future I would learn the mistakes the hard way with the loss of my own cash. Nothing beats, the wealth of information available in the books on trading, and really glad that I get the chance at work to just focus most of my attention all day into learning something for myself and well supposedly for the company.

Music is something I need to continue to work on. I see myself lacking in so many areas, knowing that it’s only by God’s grace that I’ve come so far. I don’t want to keep misusing that gift, and want to actually dedicate myself to consistent practice ala my gymming in the morning, or learning to trade in the day. That leaves the entire night to practice. Most of it at least.

I’ve finally got the dvd I bought from the states a few months ago, long story that I can’t be bothered recounting anymore, but it’s amazing! Lots of useful information, literally a huge gold mine that I don’t really know where to begin, or if I can even get to the level to use it. Just got to keep persevering.

Persevering just like Jess and Matt, as they spent a good 12 hours to dread my hair. My hats off to them! I felt bad just sitting there not doing anything apart from enduring torturous pain on my scalp that probably could not be comparable to the lactic acid build up in their forearms. You could go to Jess’ blog to see some pictures. But here are some for your gander.

 

 

My mum did threaten to disown me if I get dreadlocks, but she’s away in China on missions at the moment. But I’m willing to call her bluff and see what she says when she gets back. Will be very interesting.

Maybe this update wasn’t so little after all.

At least you get pictures!

To Be

Updated.

Really honest to God, I was going to update it this morning.

But I’m getting really tired now, especially after being surrounded by women swooning over Edward Cullen in Twilight.

It was an okay movie, not bad, not good.

I did like the fathers though, the chief something and Carlisle I think?

Best scene in the entire movie was when Isabella took the step to console her father after the friend died. I was moved.

I suppose I can see why every girl wants to be Isabella, especially when they want their partners to be Edward Cullen.

Realistically, if you want guys like us to be Edward Cullen, my experience tells me that the creep alert gets slapped onto you immediately without any hesitation.

Oh my dear wife, who are you to be, and who am I for you to be?

Results

Uni results were released early this morning/late last night. And I’m somewhat unhappy with my results.

I got 1 Distinction and 2 Credits.

Pretty fair results. But my 2 credits had a grade of 69 and 68. Just 1 and 2 per cent respectively shy of a distinction. I had every intention of getting straigh HD’s but towards the end I knew it wasn’t posible, but knowing that I was so close to getting straight D’s… Kinda blows. I think if those credits were like low-mid 60’s I’ll be more satisfied.

Oh and the results of the poll is a resolute yes. I’m actually quite sadden no one thought I am perfect :’(

Nonetheless, without further ado, this is the link.

I must warn you, it isn’t terribly exciting, none of the writing genius you see on this home blog of mine.

But the results might be quite surprising!
