Well here I sit. the last day I have at home before I take to wandering the world again. Awww I feel all kinda "Grasshopper"ish. haha. My last day in NZ again for at least about 2 months. Strange. Last time I was champing at the bit to get out and go to Canada. This time, I'm rather reserved. Maybe it's because I am off to KL first and I know that it's going to be a COMPLETE change for me. I've never been to a country where English isn't the primary language... so I am rather apprehensive. I think if I get through the next couple of days and get through KL (I'm gonna either love it or hate it) I think the rest of it will be pretty awesome too.
Yes so I have been down to the shops and bought a few items for my trip, and am about to go and pack my bags. I've been pulling stuff out of draws and cupboards over the last few days and basically just throwing them all in one pile in my room. the idea is that at least I wont forget that stuff that I have deemed important enough to take, so I think I will be organised and wont be leaving much behind. (My primary school teacher wont believe that I am so organised haha).
I've recently bought a nice little 120GB USB HDD and have copied a few files onto it that I can take around the world with me - including my CV. Yep - will have to keep a bit of an eye on the job market around the world... dunno if I.T. is what I want to continue with. It's either going to be a whole new career of fun frivolity or back to making real money agian in the IT world - which will also give me stress and anxiousness again no doubt - grrr.. oh well - lets see what the world dishes out shall we?
So anyhow - tomorrow's flight takes me to KL (as I have mentioned already) I spend a few days there. I have 2 people to meet up with. 1 was a friend I used to work with at TCL a year or two ago, and the other is a mate I used to go to High School with (back in the 80's! haha). I gave him a bit of a ring this morning and caught him before he went to work - he's a project manager but I can't really envisage him in anything but ripped jeans and a black AC/DC t-shirt haha!
Speaking of AC/DC it's been confirmed a new album is on the way - yah! It is apparently I have read on the newsgroups and a final farewell tour will probably be planned for after... so not sure if I will attempt to go to that... might do - it would be an awesome highlight in the good old life I am having :-)
Anyhow - must go bags don't pack themselves and I just remembered that I have to go get some Vegemite for my sister in England and get it through 3-4 lots of customs haha yowser!
cyas
Matt.
