Always good to just turn up at a clients Christmas do, and drink their free booze ;P Just got back from living it up with the Cisco mob in town! They know how to look after their folks I can tell ya! The food and the drink flowed most of the evening, with lots of “Geeky” conversation between the rest of us gate-crashers… wouldn’t be surprised if there were only about half a dozen folks actually from Cisco there!!

Great end to a good day. I’m just going to chill out now and count the rest of the day till my burfday!!!!

I tried to be a bit more artistic with these, I took them a couple of weeks ago, and well you decide:-

DRIFTWOOD ONE >>

DRIFTWOOD TWO >>

DRIVEN >>

and finally SEA MONSTER >>

From this last one you can see from the spray on the waves how windy it was, hopefully this gives some impression of the famous Wellington wind!! more later….and in actual fact this “monster” was nothing more than seaweed

Apart from Christmas being just around the corner, AND apart from it “nearly” being my birthday, I have something else to celebrate today! My car passed it’s WOF (Warrant Of Fitness) with flying colours and will be legal until 10 June 2008. Over here in New Zealand, instead of an MOT which is yearly (and a little more detailed) they have this WOF system which runs every 6 months.

Less than two weeks to go before I fly to Hong Kong (this’ll be my third trip there!) and I have a few things planned; as well as Christmas celebrations I am under orders to go to Ocean Park ;P - well, I can’t say no now can I? Especially as I have never been there before in all my trips to Hong Kong?

Anyways, I need to get ready for band so blogs ya later.

well, let me see, I’ve done the Runes, and I’ve done the Tarot Cards so I thought it was about time I gave something new a go, and I can honestly say, I have absolutley no idea what drew me to them but my current fascination is I-Ching; after doing a bit of reading I am reasonably impressed by my first attempt.

This has to be the most symbolic and esoteric system I have seen in a while. Basically I went for a general reading for my first go. What I got from it is basically this - I need to bide my time careful and watch and learn as much as possible in order to progress in an innovative way, also in the future I will need to give up or rather sacrifice something that I cherish in order to carry on down the path I am ment to be walking. all of this from 8 basic cards drawn and combined to form a hexagram. Not bad huh?!

I’ll maybe let you all know one day if any of this actually bears resemblence to my situation.
