Simon's space

Well as you've noticed i no longer write in this blog or put up any new photos. Thats coz ive moved everything to MYSPACE.

My myspace is www.myspace.com/roylaxation you can find me there as well as my new blog.

Hope to see you there =)

Last night was Nuj's Bday at eve! I've put photos up so you can all see how the night was. Eve is a new club just near the McDonalds on Clarendon st in the city close to crown owned by one of my sisters friends Sam. They spent 3.5 million on the place! and it shows, its and awesome club and the music was great.

Anyway, I rocked up to the door at about 11:15pm and said i was on Tanuja's guestlist, they imediately let me through with no waiting in the que or paying . Nuj had a private room with its own bar and dj which was very choice. Behind the bar was a crystal wall chandolier with each individual crystal making up a dragon. It look very cool. I've put a photo of it up.

I saw my sister and her boyfriend Nic there and we all chatted and spoke to Nuj, had a big dance out in the main room where they have a light tiled dance floor just like back in the 70's which looks so cool. Not long after i got there i spotted my best friend and some of her friends and it was really great to see her as i havent seen her in ages! We had a little chat but she was rather smashed lol. Quite funny to see her so drunk as i never have before.

I also had a good talk with most of Nuj's friends which i also havent seen in ages. I had a really good night. AT about 2 they all decided to go to Q Bar but I had a lot of stuff to do today and my sister and her bf were going home so i chose to do the same.

To my surprise when i woke up this morning. My mum asked if i was ok? i said of course. Then she told me about how she had just seen on the News that someone at eve lastnight let off a capsicum spray like gas in the club at about 3am. Hundreds of people evacuated and 9 others needing emergency treatment. Talk about leaving just in time lol. I hope all those people will be alright and that they wont blame the club. It would be a shame for it to close down just when its getting so hot.

Anyway, hope you all have a good day and check out the pics from last night.

Take care, Simon

Well it's been awhile since ive added to my blog here but ive been too busy to really update it and nothing really worth noting has happened on which to write about so Im sorry. If you want more updates you'll have to ask me out to do more things!

Anyway, to my surprise as i woke up this morning, 12:57pm so really it was afternoon, (hey! i was up till 2 watching Conan the Barbarian lol!) my phone started ringing and as i wondered who it could be calling me at such a ridiculous hour (LOL) it was Qian Wei! He said he and Ching had got back to melbourne the day before and i didnt even know!  Perfect timing tho as i just bought a brand new digital camera on Saturday! as well as some new clothes hehe. Had a pretty big shopping spree

So I went to meet them at Cheng Yi's place in the city and we went out to Korean BBQ for dinner. They showed us their photos from China which were really nice. They're both so brown now! its not fair, ive been freezing here in melbourne and they're over in china where its nice and warm. Although from what they said a little too warm maybe lol. but still, nicer than the freezing cold of melbourne.

Ching and Qian Wei both seem to be really tired. Even tho China is only 2 hours behind us they must be suffering from some strange form of jet lag lol. So we all parted ways fairly early at 9:30 and came home.

I've put up the photos so you can all look. Some are a little strange as i was just playing around with my new camera for fun hehe. Enjoy and take care!

Well it's been a while since i've updated this so I thought its about time. My life has sort of hit a major change since my last entry. At the beginning of the year I was starting my degree in International Business at RMIT but as of last month I defered for the rest of the year to take a break from study life and try to work out the other sectors of my rather dull meaningless life. However things have gone in a direction now which I had definetely not planned. Was trying to figure out what I should do with my time for the rest of the year, what type of job i could do. When my mum of all people suggested I should do something with computers as I've always had a gift with that type of thing.

So I did a little research, asked a few questions and now im at Excom ( www.excom.com.au ) doing an ExpressIT course and on my way to working in the IT industry which I had never thought of doing before. The great thing about what im doing now is that it's not a degree which is going to take me 4 years. Its proper certification training. Which means I will be authorised by vendors ie. Microsoft, CompTIA (computer manufacturers and software developers) to operate, maintain, fix any problems to do with their products. As I learned in my research the IT industry is always changing at rapid speeds and employers want people with experience and certifications instead of degrees. The problem with degrees is that by the time you've finished your 4 years of study everything you've learnt is out of date and the industry is already using the latest and greatest technology. The course I'm doing now is not long. Only 3 months of duration which includes the basic certifications I'll need to start off in the IT sector. This includes training and prep time for exams. After working for a bit and getting a good background in IT I'll do more training in more advanced and specialised areas which of course lead to some rather incredible pay packets hehe

So something that ive always just thought of as a hobby and that was interesting has now turned into a major career change and prospect for me. Really goes to show that if there is something you're good at....even if its just a hobby that you never thought would be more...do some research into it. You might just find a way to make a living out of it.

Ive found Im really loving what im doing now. Uni was just driving me nuts and i was just so tired of studying for years and years without seeing where i was going. Now i have a clear goal at the finish line, knowing exactly what im going to be doing when im finished.....not wondering about whats next after i finish uni????

Anyway thats about all thats happening in my life thats worth noting. Dad's off overseas again, US. Mum is gone for a few days somewhere. Bec's at her apartment like usual. Just me at home alone with the dogs like usual =(

Everyone else is busy preparing for exams and holidays coming up. I've got another week and a half until my next week of training so just studying at the moment. Next week I'll be working at one of my dads friends Computer shop doing.....something lol. I know it'll be great experience and ill learn a lot of usefull stuff. Hopefully will get a good reference too.

Love life = zero  just like usual  I really need to do something about it now. Its getting on my nerves.

hmmm what else is happening? Qian Wei and Ching will be going to China next week on the 18th of June....only for a few weeks but ill miss them. Hopefully ill be able to organise for us all to go and see the new Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift before they go. After Cheng Yi and Jolin finish their exams on the 15th. I'll probably post again after then with some photos hopefully. Havent taken any in ages now so I'll try my best to get some new ones up here.

Anyway, take care everyone. Thats if you've even made it this far haha. Probably stoped reading 10 minutes ago lol.

Be good, Simon

Well I went out last night but before I left my sister wanted to take some photos with me. She lives in an apartment by herself now and I dont get to see her that much. We also dont have many photos together so we thought it would be nice. She was down here to go to dinner with mum.

Anyway I thought Id put the photos up as Im always talking about my brothers and have photos of us but never any mention of my real family haha so now there is finally a some photos of me and my sis.

Hope you like and take care!

Simon
