I've graduated

Hooray!
2 years of studying the 'Diploma of IT (Networking)' and it's all finally over.
I've been through some pretty insane ups/downs and all sorts of weird stuff but I've managed to come out fine.

Sometimes I think back and I reckon that I didn't do much at all. It's quite relaxed at college afterall. But I gotta remember: This is only the beginning of the rest of my life. This was only just another stepping stone that WILL lead my life somewhere where I want to be and belong. As long as I PUSH forward with everything I got, I can make something out of myself.
Take chances, Make mistakes, Learn from experiences - That's what it's all about.

After all these 2 years, I can proudly say: "I did it"
------------------------------------------------------
Now as I study the 'Advanced Diploma of Network Security', I've felt like I've lost some of that momentum. Study has nearly ground to a halt, morale has dropped like a stone and health is not fairing so well in these winter conditions.

2 more weeks of classes remain before I finish.
I want to finish HARD and STRONG - Not like how I've always done it in the past; fizziling out into a burnt ember.
But I need motivation. Fuel to keep me going. 'Bait' if you will. That invariable carrot hanging out over the donkeys face as it mind-numbbingly slugs step after step forward at the riders will.

It's not because I don't want to see the future. It's not because I can't see the future. But instead, I think it's that I'm too afraid to see the future.

The past I never worry; it's over and done with.
The present I go forward; what else can you do?
The future I freak; what WILL I do?

I'm sometimes I take on the position of a firm believer of inevitablity. Stuff happens because of variables, that you performed, allow it to happen. There were no such thing as "oh... it wasn't entirely my fault" or "whoops, I really didn't mean that to happen".

I've come to realise that when things occur unfavourably, it happens merely by recognising that it MAY happen. - Pessimism, if you will, Murphys law, Finagles law, etc

okay, im going to stop right there. Ranting on will not be healthy for me. I've gotten myself pretty worked up typing this and it IS after-all 1am in the morning.

Goodnight everyone~~

It's been awhile again

Well, i've neglected this blog yet again... it seems to be a pattern on every blog have/had.

Anyway, life is boring as usual, but i'd like to share some pics... because there is nothing better to post about on a Saturday afternoon.

To the denziens of dc.com!
You may have come to realise that I, in fact do not have much anime/manga/merchandise around the place. This is due to the limited funding for my hobbies and my reluctancy to get a job. I will be getting one after i graduate from this course (in 2-3 months'ish) and will probably will be a push bike courier for 'Mail Call' until the IT emploment market looks better. Until then, i'll continue on my strict $50/w allowance that i smooch off my parents since the government is being an ass in giving me my student allowances.
WHERE THE HELL IS THAT $900 STIMUALTION MONEY THAT IM SUPPOSED TO GET K.RUDD!?!?!
(Our current PM for the aussieland for those not-in-the-know)

1. My room in its current state:
2 . Ze bedo in its current messy state (Yes, i have 2 pillows):3. The study/office after the desktop monitor upgrade:
4. My sisters room before she moved out since she got married:
5. And now 'my' lab room for loads of computer hardware:
The "lab room"s current status is UNOCCUPIED and merely a temporary storage and workroom for myself.

We're looking to rent out the room to 'someone' who:
*Doesn't mind living +1hr public transport from the city
*Can walk the 15-20min trek to a train station where you will probably wait +30mins for a train
*OR can take an 8AM'ish train where you will be driven to the station on a daily morning basis. (I take that morning service)
*Has strict hygiene habits/lifestyle
*Doesn't mind being nowhere near a decent mall or public gathering place.
*Light internet user (ALL THE BANDWIDTH IS MINE... mostly torrents, etc)
*Shared bathroom facilities (with me ^^)
*Gender+Age is not an issue... for now.

The room measures 2.4x3.15m and we will be supplying you with a bed, desk+chair (to come) and a rebuilt PC.
Taking into account the current housing and rental costs in Sydney, rent will be $150/w - Haggling will be allowed if you're really in a tight pinch.

If you are in desperate need of a place in Sydney and you can fit these requirements, drop me a line and i'll get back to you.
(Yes, i am serious)
--------------------------

Yep, life is boring.
I can only hope that something interesting will happen... a girlfriend, a job, more bandwidth... something.
