looking forward to 2014~

still a few more days left in 2013....

Boxing Day... the worst day to come to work in Korea, knowing that everyone back at home have the day off, in the sun... watching cricket....

yet its cold here... and i have to pull my big butt out of bed and crawl into work... and just check-up on the cricket... without beers....

it's such a slow day too... coz since im working with so many overseas people... they are usually all on vacation between xmas till new years....

well... looking forward to the new year... i can sense its going to be good... it should be good.... 2013 was quite memorable too seeing that i did the march down the aisle... and in 2014, i have a mini-me to look forward to... could be one of the more 'tiring' years of my life... but nevertheless, im looking forward to it....

on a career side of things... its the 3rd year in this company... the 3rd... i guess 3 is somewhat the minimum number of years u'd want to be in one place... but having said that... i guess i dont think im really keen on moving to a entirely new industry.... i kinda like this "mobile security" work.... maybe if i keep grinding it out here, i'll see opportunities within....

i guess i'll just keep doing what im doing.... being very australian in a korean company environment... just let time tick over while i just do my thing, and keep myself busy... why stress, why worry... looking like ur stressing and worrying doesnt mean ur doing meaningful work... (despite what so many here believe)....

i know a lot can be done without having to stress and grind... 2014... i'll stick to that belief~

world cup 2014 pools

For a FIFA world cup group to be called the "group of death"... there really needs to be 4 competitive teams.....

In the case of Group B.... Spain, Netherlands, Chile... and Australia.... that is the 'group of death' just for australia....

Luckily, Korea has had a relatively good draw, with Belgium, Algeria and Russia... there are no easy wins in that team... but at least Korea can go into each game knowing a win is as probable as a loss.

It should be an interesting World cup to watch.... the time difference... well, i guess its better than being in Europe since i can sleep and wake up for the matches, rather than staying up and feeling crap in the mornings...

Let's hope the stadiums are ready, and no construction cranes fall on the stadiums again ^^ fingers crossed~
