Waiting.

At some point in our lives, we seem to be waiting for something. Waiting for the bus to come along, waiting for a friend who was supposed to be here 10 mins ago, waiting for the days to pass before that long awaited holiday, waiting for that phone call from someone you really like, waiting for a better job to come along, waiting for something more adventurous in a seemingly stable relationship.

The difference between some of those moments is that , they are most likely to happen. The bus will eventually arrive causing you to be a half hour late, and so will your friend with a reason why he/she was and yes, the days do pass by soon enough and there you are, on a plane to paradise ( at least for the next 3-7 days until work starts again).

The person on the other hand, might never call, it could be another 2 years before the better job appears , or you would have felt it better to stay in the relationship because it is probably the most comfortable, predictable situation in an unpredictable world.

But we all wait, because we expect a form of change in our situation. To be happier, to satisfy our curiosity, to be somewhere else except here. Change will happen , eventually so lets just enjoy the moment right now.

Dinner with Sarah

Here's the first dinner i had with Sarah after her 2nd day of work at Everton Park. When you hear of more and more people being unhappy at work, you can conclude that it's not just you feeling that same way.

Here's some 2 pics from the dinner. Check out the Octopus! It's like it had it's tentacles make a ring around it's eyes saying 'Yooo Hoo!' Now that makes a good meal!

Things with Ed

Today we watched Star Trek. It's not a bad show. We decided to watch a movie today (impromptu) and then after the movie , we decided to try out luck at one of the machines at Plaza Sing. Ed tried it before some time ago and spent $7 on catching a soft toy. It's IMPOSSIBLE. I think they just really strategically place the items to make you think you can get it, but it's really just their way of cheating your money.

Anyhoo, I had seen this father and 3 kids, carry away 3 medium size plastic bags of soft toys they had caught. Most of it , is from this machine with a pile of little soft toy dogs inside. So, after the movie we tried it out. Ed grabbed the little dog on top, and caught another one, and loh and behold, the claws closed, springing the dog out , and sent it tumbling down the 'hill' of dogs, and into the prize hole. YAY!

Here's our prize!



Of course, we tried it again, but it didn't work.

Here's another fun pic of Ed !
