Haven’t had a holiday in a while and have been a bit tired from juggling work and study.  Exams are finally over and since I am studying full time next semester and working much less, I figured it would be time to have a bit of a break.  Been relaxing at home and surfing the net, doing some housekeeping, and washing the car.

My clock arrived finally arrived!  Been wanting one of these clocks for a while now.  I have a screensaver that emulates this type of clock and ever since my friends saw it, everyone’s been using it.  This clock was sourced from Hong Kong as the ones in Australia are either too expensive or too hard to find.

Yesterday marked the longest time I have spent at work.  A total of 13 hours spent at work from 8AM – 9PM.  In Australia the tax is so high that the more you work the more you get taxed.  Depressing isn’t it.  Tax return is coming but I think this year I will actually be getting close to nothing back.  I just hope I don’t have to pay additional tax.  I have racked up just under $24,000 AUD tax this year.

Had the opportunity to try the new set of car detailing products I bought on my friend’s classic Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. The products made the wash so much easier. When I arrived at his house in the morning, you could see the state of the car. Tar and grime everywhere especially on the back left rear sections as that is closest to the exhausts.   Quick use of the products quickly lifted the gunk off the car and all we had to do was give it a light wash and rinse. Usually it would take a fair bit of scrubbing. So to preserve the paint from swirl marks, these nice tar removers were used to lift it all out.

I found these Tshirts a while ago while surfing looking through Hong Kong fashion publications Milk, and Monday. They tend to give the style of clothing I am after. Ever since I saw these shirts I’ve always wanted one but could not find real ones on ebay. Seems like ebay habours a lot of fake branded clothing and I was very skeptical in buying it as I’ve had bad experiences with buying fake stuff from ebay.

Here is the infamous Carnuba wax that world renowned car detailer Paul Dalton uses.  It costs about 10,000 pounds and gives cars an incredible shine and lustre.  I recently bought some carnuba wax that some of the professional detailers use (not the 10,000 pounds one -_-’) and have tried it on one of my cars.  Gives amazing results – love it!

Finally, Apple has released the second version of their iPhone, 3G capable.  This is good news because being 2.5G / Edge previously really made its key feature (portability and internet) a double edged sword for Australian consumers.  Previous iPhone owners in Australia that bought overseas unlocked phones may have charged ridiculous amounts for their use of GPRS on the iPhone.  Now that the 3G version is announced, the internet speeds and pricing will improve dramatically, making it truly a mobile device that can be used for enterprise and personal.

Been gathering ideas on how to redesign my workspace so I can reduce the wires and put shelves in.  One thing that bothers me immensely despite all our efforts in innovative gadgets and technology is the amount of wire mess we have to put up with to use all this stuff.  Seriously, there are wires everywhere in my work area.  I run a Macbook Pro and you would think I would not have to worry about wires annoying me.  The fact is, I plug in both external hds (since the mac does not have enough space), then the dual monitor, the power, the speakers and the list adds up.

This year has not been overly smooth for me and I am probably in the middle of a run of bad luck.  Firstly, there were hiccups at work, such as staffing issues, management issues, customers problems, personal goal problems and colleague problems.

Forgot where I saw this, but found these pictures of some of the most weirdest watches ever. Talk about hard to read.

Been following the Victoria Secrets Fashion Show for a while now. Although they are the same model, they are making huge headlines wherever they go. More surprisingly, Miranda Kerr, who is Australian (centre model) is from Brisbane and went to All Hallows high school.

Since i suffer from hayfever, I try to keep my living space as clean as can be. But sometimes it gets tough when you have to share the space. I therefore make every effort to keep things clean. Here is a shot of my setup after a brief tidy up.
