....Mixed feeling developing inside me....Why? I will have no more base in Christchurch. It's been sold and my family's going to move up here, to Auckland City. And next week we'll start moving furniture into a new place temporarily while hunting for a long term one to settle down.
Everything will just happen so fast I will find it difficult to breathe. But first up: to airport to pick up May, we'll be seeing you there at the Viaduct~! http://www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/whatson/events/guyfawkes/default.asp
by the way: why celebrate guy fawke's day? isn't he an enemy?
It's been another year. Again. Guy Fawke's Day. Last year it was celebrated in Christchurch. How is it celebrated this year? Where?If it's a sunny day tomorrow I'd recommend visiting Parnell Rose Garden. Been there for a sneak peek. Worth a visit.In 2 weeks, if you're into flowers, treat yourself (and your partner) with a visit to the Ellerslie Flower Show.New album by Jay's out: "Chopin of November"
Thanks to Gavin for sharing this. Interesting story about Axis.....AXIS OF EVIL WANNABES
Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil", Libya, China and Syria today announced that they had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil", which they said would be more evil than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address.
Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new Axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are just as evil... in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're the best evils... best at being evil... we're the best."
Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil. "They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"An axis can't have more than three countries", explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So, you can only have three, and a secret handshake. Ours is wickedly cool."
International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered.
Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what has become a game of geopolitical chairs. Cuba, Sudan and Serbia announced that they had formed the "Axis of Somewhat Evil", forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the "Axis of Occasionally Evil", while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the "Axis of Not So Much Evil Really as Just Generally Disagreeable".
With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called the "Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the Olympics".
Canada, Mexico and Australia formed the "Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Some Nasty Thoughts About America", while Scotland, New Zealand and Spain established the "Axis of Countries That Want Sheep to Wear Lipstick". "That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do", said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack McConnell.
While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axes, although he rejected the establishment of the "Axis of Countries Whose Names End in 'Guay", accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.
Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately world leaders said that's only because no one asked them.
Sophia: forgive me for quoting you but i find this very 'chim' (deep in malaysian language): theorectically there is no tomorrow. When tomorrow finally arrives, it's really just today....
It's true but how can we live for just today? What about tomorrow? our future? our next generation? I'd love to use up all my money to buy things i want but i can't because we're living each day with the money we save, and we won't know when it's going to rain....We do contradict with our own principles eh sometimes?
Good luck to all who are still taking exams. You know who you are.
