Bigmal.net is back on the air yeah!!! *crowd goes wild*

Ok well not really but after some issues with the handover of the domain and the renewal all is ok 😀 Nothing much has been happening really. Life is just chugging along. Few big weekends coming up. Riverfire this sat night so that should be interesting and then work at Suncorp most likely on Sunday. Weekend after that is more work, then following weekend is the Big OCAU weekend.

OCAU weekend shall be interesting. Its been like 3 years since the last big OCAU meets but this year no paintball. But still the usual BBQ and also OCAU bowling. Gutterball will return!! Last time i got 13 gutterballs in total at the bowling, 11 of those in a row. So should prove to be an interesting night. Also weekend after that is a big party for my friend Kizanne. It should be a fun night as it is a Hookers and Deviates party. Not quite sure what to go as yet…. was thinking as a photo taking perv… wouldnt be much of a difference.

So much has happened lately but over the last few weeks I have realised how much my tastes have actually changed.  I used to hate spicy food.  So much so that I went out of my way to avoid it.  Now im building up a tolerance to chilli, and loving it.  So much so that Tabasco is going into almost everything these days.

I have realised how much I love to cook as well.  Cooking for myself is a joy and cooking for other people is one of the biggest enjoyments I will ever have.  Lately I have found the joys and simplicity of Ramen.  Not that packet Migoreng shit.  I’m talking real ramen.  Made with proper ramen or soba noodles.  Really simple just chicken stock or vegie stock with some soy, chicken, asian greens and ramen noodles, in a nice big big bowl.
Have also been baking a lot this weekend.  I made 16 Chocolate muffins and an Orange and Poppyseed Cake and thinking of putting a loaf of bread on tonight so I can have some fresh bread tommorrow.  YUM!

Hrm now im hungry! damn food.

My birthday is fast approaching and things start to get confusing. Everyone is continuously asking me what I want for my birthday and the fact is half of the time.. I just dont know.

I know for one that I would like the Voltron Vehicle Force DVD collections (but i dont think anyone will fork out $60 for each set). I would also like a new camera (doubt anyone will give me that either). But other than that I am probably the worst person to buy for.

Warren is currently staying with me for a bit on his travels south from Cairns. It is good to see someone from the tour again and keep in touch with everyone is great. I had such a good time this just helps to know that the friendships are still there.

Its a big weekend ahead with plenty of partying, fun, sightseeing and $$ spending:

Friday Night – Party at Blairs for his birthday
Saturday – Shopping in city, Showing Warren around
Saturday night – My Birthday Party – Wagamama, Fringe Bar
Sunday – Footy – Gabba
Sunday Night – Zone 3
Monday – not sure yet.

3 day weekend for the win!

OMG not long now. Only 5 days till my quarter century. I am looking forward to saturday not for my age but because I can relax and party. Its been a few weeks since I last went out and partied (woolshed in cairns) and although this wont be the same it shall be good.

My next trip overseas is in the early planning stages trying to find ways around etc. One possible way for me to get from New York to toronto is to get the train (Amtrak) but that depends on how cheap it is going to be. The other option is to fly and I am sure I can do that but it can be more expensive and trying to work out cheapest airline is gonna drive me nuts!

Anyway i should go to work and stop being lazy. Probably post a bit more tommorrow morning.

My worst fear in life was to have to one day wear glasses. I was the only person in my family to not have to wear them. Well thats over! I now have to wear them 🙁 I would rather die in a fire than have to wear glasses for the rest of my life.. sadly i dont have a say if i want my eyes to work when i spend so much time in front of the pc.

On thursday I had to pick up my glasses. It was one pair out of the 35 that i tried on. I am now the proud(?) owner of a pair of Oakley Thread 4.0 I didn’t even know they made prescription frames until monday. So it hasn’t been a good week for me. Heaps of work, plus grandma, and then add on the fact I have to get glasses, and people wonder why I was kinda emo this week.

At the moment it is late and my brother and sister are up here for the funeral tommorrow. They want me to talk but I am not going to at the funeral. I would rather go to work. I just could not get up in front of everyone.

I should be in bed but before i go i will leave you with this.

This is going to be an emo post so if you do not want to read it please either scroll down or come back in a few days. Emo beginning now:

Today is a very sad day in my life. Today at 0445 my Grandmother passed away. She was the last of my Grandparents and out lived her Husband (my grandfather) by over 13 years. I loved her dearly. She has been in my life for as long as I can remember and has always been kind, loving and fun. Some of my earliest memories involve my grandparents and I hope those memories will never fade. She was 97 and lived a filling life. A life that was full of joy and happiness.

I owe a lot to my grandmother. She gave me the passion for travel that I now have. Without her I would not be the person I am today. It was because of her that I travelled to disneyland when I was 13, Then to Mt Isa, Ayers Rock, Longreach, Melbourne, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide, Tasmania, Canberra and of course Sydney. I can remember as a child always going to Sydney to visit my grandparents. This probably helped feed this passion for travel. Without that passion I would not be the person I am now or be doing the job I am now, in that I owe her a lot.

I intend on travelling more in life now, I am already planning on going to the USA and to Canada something I know she would of wanted. For the rest of my life I will be happy whenever I travel as I know that is a joy in life she has given me.

I do not regret not seeing her in hospital, I feel that it would of made today a lot harder seeing her the way she was. What I do regret is not being able to show her the photos of my last trip, seeing the joy in her eyes of some of the places she has been.

I will remember her for the rest of my life. Grandma… I love you.

For all of those people out there who wish to send any emails to me to wish me well please do and I will pass your love and well wishes onto my family as well. Thank you to all those that have put up with my moodiness lately.

I will try and get back to normal as soon as possible. For those that want to know the Funeral will be on Monday the 24th of July. For more details please email me.

Thank you.
