Alright! Another week and another post on the good ol’ blog. This week has gone by pretty fast it always does when you’re having fun and what else is there to do but to have fun when you’re on holiday. As usual in the holidays I have kept communications with and endeavours to the world outside by man-cave (or bedroom as used to call it in the good ol’ days) to a minimum. Yet another reason why this is my third blog post in a row…I can’t be bothered calling/texting someone else to do it.

I did make one important endeavour outside my man-cave and outside my local town as well ^_^. I journeyed to the heartlands, to south of Auckland (Papakura). At which point I met up with our secretary of the treasury and head of Christmas party decorations Nikesh Lal, who was late as usual and so from there we set of on our quest to gather props and other shiny looking things to put up as deco on the night of the Christmas party. We travelled not so far or wide to accumulate these items, purchased mainly from ye olde two dollar shop and nearby merchants. We purchased everything from coloured paper to Christmassy undergarments, the undergarments were Nikesh’s idea and chosen by him. In a very feminine fashion, once again mainly Nikesh’s fault, we somehow managed spend half a day gathering what was only about 30 pieces of decorations so we decided to call it a day and went to ye olde Mc Donald’s to get some lunch at what was more a time for afternoon tea than lunch.

I spent the remainder of the week inside my man-cave labouring with guillotine and scissors sleighing pieces of paper (how’s that…a Christmas pun inside a medieval metaphor…genius!). In other words I spend the rest of the week cutting out the Christmas party Tickets…who knew cutting tickets would be such a laborious and time consuming task …well at least that means you will be getting your tickets soon. For those of you reading who haven’t got your tickets for the Christmas party yet do not fear thou can still get them by calling Shayneil Narsey at 021 2 7429 10 or any other NZKYSI committee member.

Well I better get back to ye olde book thy was reading before thy started inscribing this blog post…oh I love the holidays…soo many kool books to read so little time.

And I’ll leave with a quote from the book I’m about to get back to:

“Hard work is a prison sentence only if it does not have meaning” – Malcolm Gladwell

Till next time,
