Hey everyone, it's been a while!
Haven't had much to say recently, so no point blogging for the hell of it right? But at least today I will update those of you interested in my life.
Have begun the enrolment process for my Optical Dispensing course and my Diploma in Business. Can't wait to start studying - looking forward to moving forward.
We have the cash for the UK trip, so thats a monkey off our back, but not all of it is savings - will be attacking the credit cards a bit for this one. We're budgeting around RM20k for it, perhaps a bit more. But we're on our way regardless, so now we're starting to get a bit excited about going.
Bought myself a new laptop computer, an Acer Aspire 5500Z, and it's goooooood. Mainly for my studies, but also to allow me to update my skills as I need to spend some quality time getting back in 'the game' so to speak...
My mum turned 50 on 28th May - Happy Birthday mum! I am sorry I couldn't be there, but we're hoping you'll be here for my 30th on 9th July... We're crossing our fingers that you'll make it!
I can't believe my mum is now 50. I was always proud to announce that my mum was still in her 40's, but thats the way it goes. I am always proud of my parents regardless of how old and dotty they get! Good filial son...
Kids are good, making us laugh and wanna kill them at the same time still. Will miss them heaps when overseas, but we definitely need an 'adult' break - time by ourselves. I'll try to bring them something back from 'Hamleys', just like my parents did with me. I think i'll get lost there...
Anyway, if I think of something I've forgotten, I'll post again.
Love to all,
Maddog

A new day
Time for a positive approach to things.
My parents-in-law have arrived back in Malaysia, and it's nice to have them back. For one, it takes a bit of pressure off Diana and myself, especially with the businesses! But really, having familiar faces back again is nice and refreshing - gossip to catch up on, stories to tell etc etc etc.
My information about the Degree in Business I wanted has also arrived, so now able to digest that and get some planning done! Looking forward to studying - some of you might find me a bit of a nutter - and getting some heduca-shee-oan accomplished.
I have also decided on a departure date for us to move back to Godzone. Late December 2008, in time for Xmas we will be in NZ. That is when Kaitlyn will be old enough for school, I will be nearing completion of my degree, and will have at least 4+ years of experience running businesses. It seems to all fit nicely, so no doubt will happen that way. I am happy now a date has been set, although much work needs to be done before then - but thats fine.
Last week was a miserable time. Missed out on all sorts of things, due to a heavy work load. Both of us have missed out on quality time recently with the kids, and I'm working 7 days a week, sometimes 13 hours a day. But so long as we reap the benefits, and there is a rest every so often, I can handle it. It's good for you right? What doesn't kill you... etc etc etc.
My parents seem to be set on coming in June, which is great. I also have about 150 NZ beers coming over for me to enjoy at my leisure - most of which will be my Mum's and my combined birthdays this year. Her 50th and my 30th. Big year. I am getting to understand that old saying of 'you're only as old as you feel' or the alternative saying 'you're only as old as the woman you feel'...
My best mate, Hamish, who couldn't use a computer to save his life, has yet to read my blog - so I can lambast him or praise him at will. At the moment, I have very little to say about him other than klhgljk;sdgkglfajl;dfgajghalkgdglkhg;ajdhgl;fhg;lkasjglk;jglkhprtiurrjggjfdvmcxbn,mznhlkjao.
Love to all, and remeber to comment you bastards!
