Been a while...

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

When are you flying to the UK? Fly Emirates and have that stop-over in Dubai. We'll see if we can work on our budget and meet you guys there.
