I've being living in my new apartment for about 6 weeks now. It took 3 weekends and around $2000 to get everything set up. I have to say that my place is quite beautiful and have a modern yet cozy feel to it. It's seriously wonderful and relaxing to have place to call my own!
An update on my horse riding crusade. I've been going horse riding every Thursday night and I'm progressing on cantering. I'm also supposed to do the sitting trot, I say 'supposed to' because I think it's physically impossible. During this rather uncomfortable ordeal, the horse is hurting me and I'm sure I'm hurting the horse...we'll see how that goes. Btw I'm still eagerly awaiting for jumping...
My Dell Adamo laptop broke on me, long story short - it's a piece of junk from the beginning. So tonight after some serious thought I got a Mac Pro (although I stubbornly refused to before cos I just don't like the look of it). But it's benefits seem to outweigh my initial and hopefully dying prejudice. 3 years later, when I get my signing contract, I'm going to get my beloved Sony Vaio Z series laptop :) I'll just suck it up for now with a Mac although at $1399 plus tax (and $200 applecare) there really shouldn't be any complaints.
Lately, I feel that I haven't being working hard enough. I've being going into work at 9 and leaving at 6. It would all be very well if I was productive, but I think waking up late really kills my day. Then again, it is SO hard to get up early. This can not keep going. I've decided to work from 8am to 6pm from now on and also come in on Saturdays as necessary. As time progresses, I hope to change to 7 to 6 workdays.
I must say i'm awfully shocked - you did get apple in the end!
ReplyDeletedon't worry - you'll be very happy with it. why? coz it was my recommendation :P haha
good on you with the horse riding. i found my horse riding gear but don't feel like going back - i'll find a good place in melbourne to do riding. btw... we are made to do the sitting trot all the time! this is how we progress to cantering in one or two minutes:
rising trot, sitting trot and canter.
I'm rather shocked at myself to get a mac but sometimes you just have to give in to your stubbornness
ReplyDeleteIf I'm living the life of the 'rich and famous' like someone whose name shall remain anonymous, I'd go horse riding at least twice a week (the girls here go 3 times a week!)
I've being doing sitting trot before I learnt to canter, but it's still a struggle and I don't want to be physically damaged (my instructor asked me why I always smile during sitting trot, I can assure you that it's not what she thinks)
