Pissed

Right now I am f*#king pissed off. I go downstairs to my padlocked storage room to pick up some boxes for my upcoming move and then realise where is my snowboard? I run upstairs and frantically check the apartment for my snowboard to no avail. After 3 trips downstairs I unfortunately has resided to the fact that my snowboard (only used once) has been stolen. That's board + bindings + bag. I got everything at least 70% off and it still cost me over $200. I am pissed. Really really pissed off.

Wussup?

It's nearly been a month since I last updated my blog. I think I've lost what few readers I had :). Well what's been cooking?
  • Jon popped by Chicago from Shang Hai on a 4 week rotary tour. Unfortunately he was only able to spend 2 nights in Chicago and the rest of his time was spent out in the corn fields of Illinois - never mind, they'll be another time to hit the nightlife of the city
  • SY & I have been searching for a place in the city (technically the 'hoods). We've finally found a place in Wicker park. We're just waiting to complete the other half of the deal - reletting out current apartment. Our new place is just outside of the loop and has 2br & 1.5bthrooms. So now there's plenty of space & no reason not to come and visit us!
  • Work wise I'm saying a good bye to engineering and a hello to the business side of things at work. A move to marketting is a very likely career path. It's going to be a big change from my comfort zone of software engineering but a welcome challenge and change
  • SY & I welcome some new members to our family. 10 fish and a 10gallon fish take were given to us by our mate Yannis
  • I came so close to the best hand in Mah jong (Sup sam you) only to be robbed by a cheap 3pointer. Arggghh! So close yet so far...
Hmm that's all I can think of right now...it definitely feels like more than a month since my last post. Oh yeah t'is is the sports season. This week Miami won the NBA championship - a pleasent suprise. Dwayne Wade - what a super star. Today Australia made it through the the knock out round of the World cup. A big JIA YOU to the socceroos!!!
