02:21 am - Overdue update Well folks, here I am again! I know, I know...it's either 5 posts a day, or nothing for a week!
Well, I have the debts completely under control! I had to ask the 'rents for some help (much to the annoyance of my pride). But everything’s safe and sound!
The Christmas/New Year overtime starts as of next week. So 2 months of working a good 6 days!!! Yay!!!! But it is time and a half, and extra money does help!
Am planning on a big booze up on Saturday in case anyone wants to join in the ensuing chaos, before I have to hibernate! Might start at the Wine Cellar and take it from there
RSVP anyone? Current Location:Work! Current Mood: happy Current Music: Alice in Chains - Them bones
03:55 am - Interview 2 Well, had my 2nd interview today. It went great! Half of it was just me nodding and squeezing in the occassional comment as the manager went into more depth about the role. Here's the BIG pain in the ass...he's going to be away for 2 weeks, so I gotta wait till then!
Have a whole heap of interviews lined up as well. So I will hopefully have a new job soon. My big plan is to have a decent job before July 2007. Current Mood: hopeful Current Music: Dazz Band - Whip it
10:12 pm Well, I'm here at work now, and it's time for an update.
Work Update I had a damm good interview on Monday, and the second interview's tomorrow! The guy who interviewed me was quite taken aback. I guess it's cos I was actually reading a copy of the mag I used to work for while in the waiting area (I think he's the only guy who has copies here with the exception of me). I also met a friend of the family who's already got something in the works for me. I'm going to apply for a loan here at GE to clear everything up financially. If that fails, well, gotta swallow my pride and ask the folks for some help.
Speaking of which...Family My mum's backed off, had a talk with her last night. I guess she's realised it's pointless to talk to me about settling down. I'm only 25 for crying out loud!! I'm not going to bother with my sister's shit, let her sort out her screwed up life before critisizing mine!
Other Well, I dumped the girl who kept on ditching me. No point wasting my time on someone who's just going to dick me around! I'm gonna be taking more strides just to get out more. I'll be able to do alot if I get this new job as well (prayers to dark and spooky voodoo gods would be appreciated). I'm alos going to get working on my painting, and my little funnies (the ones on the pot-its). If I keep myself busy, well, I won't complain on having nothing to do. Also got a haircut, and it feels weird...I look at myself in the mirror and wonder who the hell it is I'm looking at!
Plans are in the works for some events that'll kick start in Feb...almost have everything sorted for the first one as well....will keep my mouth shut on the specifics, just need to have everything sorted first! Current Mood: content Current Music: Depeche Mode - Freelove
09:12 pm - This is my life in Bahrain There I am chatting to my big sister, and it seems just like any ordinary day. She's blabbing on and on about what she's up to, while I'm pretending to actually give a crap (it's Bahrain we're talking about...you do the same thing day in and day out, the only difference is the color shirt you're wearing). And as always, she brings up her current scheme: finding me a wife.
For those of you unaware, my mum has enlisted the help of my big sister to help me find a "nice arab girl", I am not even going to attempt to find a suitable euphamism for this. And this has been going on for well over a year.
THIS time however, I discovered their true colors...their quest for finding me a wife has nothing to do with actual happy-type-shit. But keeping the bloodline pure......I shit you not, this is my goddam family.
So I doubt I'll be going back even for a visit anytime soon, and might as well accept te idea that I'm gonna be disowned by mid next year (26 is apparently when most Bahraini guys tie the not) Current Mood: aggravated Current Music: All that you are - Mudvayne
02:34 am - Things so far... Well, has been a few days since my last post. Have been catching up on my sleep!
Here's the update so far
MONSTER MASH: I'm really happy with how things turned out! Although it was short notice we pulled it off. Hats off to (in alphabetical order) Aaron, Drew, Evette and Mary, and Tux! The party would have been a complete faliure if it weren't for u guys! (lemme know how much I owe each of you guys as well)
I got a text last night from a girl I had not seen for a few months (she was travelling), invited her over and lo and behold...I was NOT stood up! Long story short...finally "broke in" my beanbag...I am a bad man I swear.
So things are semi-smooth sailing, still have a few things to sort out (tab at hysteria mainly). But am ready for CR next week (might have a date for once), and have my annual leave approved for Big Day Out.
So all's well in my quest for world conquest, and I'll say this: It's been a while since I had a genuine smile on my face...and it feels good Current Mood: satisfied Current Music: Living Color - Cult of Personality
12:53 pm - Decision Well, finally decided. Although it would be a good career move if I accepted the job in Wellington, it would actually mean I would have to start all over again.
Besides, I have made some important commitments (helping friends with their businesses, and making a name for myself). I've only just started fixing things and I have no intention of stopping now.
Current projects:
Events (too many concepts, will be filtering them down)
Magazine (working on a full business plan)
Comic/artwork (whenever I'm in that state of mind)
Tattoo (done by Jan, so will have something fun for Big Day out)
09:54 pm - Effect... As I was getting ready for work I noticed something odd (again), the last week has been a stressful one for me, I had pretty much been living off coffee and cigarettes. All these combined has actually made me drop some weight. I needed an extra notch on my belt....I think I should be stressed out more often!

04:10 pm - Moving....? I'm not sure how to interpret these things ladies and gents. It might be because the blood loss (blood donation at work today) has made me feel a little woozy. But I had a call from an unknown number, it was a call from a potential employer who has shown great interest in my past experience. And would like me to consider taking up a position in Wellington.
Now, why this is odd for me? Because I mentioned the possibility of me moving in my last post. And the job itself is very tempting...this means I have to do the thinking thing...and I have about 4-8 weeks to decide. Current Mood: okay
For a while I had been trying to fix my life. In some ways I was doing alright (my basic career improvement plan for example). Of course in some ways I was only going to make things worse for myself. This is of course my inner arab paranoia, and most (if not all) of it was directed at my flatmate. I’m not going to say a word in my own defense, I have been nothing more than a pain in the ass at everyone’s expense.
I have a lot to fix in this thing called life and had nobody to help me when the shit hit the fan. Instead of gritting my teeth I lashed out like an idiot. I need time to heal, of course, I’m just not to sure how. Too much pride does that.
Having said that, all differences will be settled and life will continue in it’s semi-normal course. I am ashamed at myself for stooping that low I know. I knew what I wanted to do, but did it the wrong way.
Sorry I hurt you. And in closing, I am considering moving out of Auckland, the last thing I want is to hurt anyone else. Current Mood: exhausted
10:22 pm - Crappy night Well, my dad needs a bypass, that must have been good news to him. Internal medicine doctors loathe surgeons, a battle of brains apparently.
The last few weeks have left me completly drained of all energy. The only thing that annoys the living crap outta me is the feeling that at the end of the day, there's nobody who I can rely on. Sucky feeling, but coming home last night proved it more than anything. Current Mood: tired
10:06 pm - Close Call I almost had a complete breakdown last night. Most of u guys probably know that right now I'm going through a rough patch. Having identity issues, self esteem issues, financial problems, and a whole heap of other crap.
Well, I got home yesterday with some very bad news (I was actually called at work). My dad had another heart attack, so needless to say I was stunned. I didn't want to drink or smoke because I was alone, and god knows what might have happened.
But I gotta say. Thanks to Sean for a good chat. And to Rosie and Ant who got trashed with me and calmed me down.
I spoke with my mum this morning, my dad's ok, just stubborn as always. Am debating whether I should go back to Bahrain, and if yes, if I should stay there. A whole heap of decisions for moi....bugger Current Mood: drained
