1st post

This post is long overdue. 1st post for the year 2006. Well 2006 started off great and slowly mixed feelings hit me like a 10 tonne sledgehammer. Problems came and went, one by one. As if I were jinxed somewhat. I was undecided whether to stay here, or to return home for good. But then, good news came. I got a job offer, which helped me make my decision to stay put. Amist the joy, bad news managed to creep its way thru. My start date at my new job got delayed until and unless I get my visa extension. In 4 days, I spent $1000 AUD on my visa application. And that's not the end of it. I've still got lots more to pay. Unfortunately.

I guess you must be thinking that I had a pretty hard start for the new year. However, i still managed to find happiness and laughter in between all the complications of life. I had friends who truly cared n were willing to help me along the way. No matter how much or how little they did, whether it was a simple gesture as to listening, i truly appreciate. It is true what they say, u realize who ur true friends are when u are in most need of them.
