Plans After Graduation...

Now that my student visa expires in March, there shouldn't be any problems in me applying for a temporary residence visa, or even PR. Just need to count and plan the number of days.

106 days still to serve the bloody army. What they want me back for??? What can I do in 106 days?! Do paperwork. Do they really need an extra person to do those stuff? Bloody waste of resources and money.

Staying back in brisbane is pretty much good. Get the experience, say 5 years? Then head back to Singapore? Or should I even head back? Hmmm.... By that time, I'll probably be 30, with a beer belly. The future's uncertain.... lets see how it goes.!

080808

This day is the day where the 29th Olympics is being held at 8:08pm in Beijing, as well as the day where my cousin held her wedding in Canberra. I flew around 90 minutes there and my niece picked me up at the airport.

It was a case of where east meets west. The wedding was western styled, with a few chinese traditions slotted in between, like the tea ceremony and the "Yum-Seng".

The dinner was a 3-course dinner, and lots of wine, and champange. A new experience indeed!

BRISBANE'S OLYMPIC BID

WHY WE SHOULD

• We could finally stop pretending to be proud about the winking Matilda kangaroo from the 1982 Commonwealth Games.
• It might get the Airport roundabout fixed.
• The Story Bridge Hotel's annual cockroach races could be included as an event.
• The Olympic truce might be the only thing to stop the Queensland Liberals and Nationals fighting
• Because we need a reason for our restaurants to stay open after 9pm
• We could out-do Sydney, and it would really annoy Melbourne

WHY WE SHOULDN'T

• We don't have nearly enough smog
• Rowing events could be problematic: no water in the dams, Citycats positively dangerous on the water.
• How could an already inadequate public transport system ever cope?
• The equestrain events might also be a problem, what with the Hendra virus and equine influenza.
• Four-minute showers wouldn't be popular with Olympians
• Do we really want to make Kevin Rudd even more smug?
• With Beijing's budget $40 billion-plus, it's just a huge waste of money
