I heard today (and not for the first time let me add before you think I’m an ignorant person, who learns of the news 6 months after it happens) that NZ plans to join the space race by the end of the year the announcements came a year ago but a lot of progress has been made and they should be going soon also kinda new news and I have to include this because it’s a YOUTH society blog Buzz Lightyear and YES L-i-g-h-t-y-e-a-r not Aldrin a few weeks ago got back to earth after spending more than a year in space (they took the action figure with them to the space station just a year ago).

Just like Buzz Lightyear who is to many of us a childhood hero, NZKYSI is also making such progress…. maybe not going to space and back but moving forward. This weekend we had another meeting with more cakes, soft drinks, discussion, debates and progress. News in the top of the agenda this week was after weeks we have got our accounts audited and are about to file them this week. Yippee I thought this would never happen…every single meeting to date there had been the discussion accounts are going to be prepared soon …prepared soon and never prepared but finally the fat lady has sung and they are done.

On the Christmas party side we have confirmed our menu and desserts….and boy! do they sound good…Vini “Blew the budget” on this one to quote our Secretary of the Treasury Nikesh Lal. In addition to dessert I have made sure we all have French vanilla ice cream with our deserts as well, because come on isn’t vanilla ice cream just a failed attempt at making French vanilla.
Apart from that not much happened this week this is especially so because of exams, me and Nikesh finished our exams this week (although Nikesh is now caught up in the $2 shop catering to the Christmas rush) and the other boys who do NCEA are about to start their exams and Jav is busy with the Christmas rush at his work.

Well till next time,

Ray
