webmaster@flexit.com.au — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 13:30:00 +0100

A few days ago i visited my local Mcdonalds for a bite to eat. While i was leaving i saw a funny site. A postal worker sitting there licking a ice cream cone.

Get back to work you lazy bum!

New TV

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 13:30:00 +0100

I have been after a TV for a while now. I have gone to the shops but have procrastinated over which tv to get.

I finally had enough of my old TV and went to buy one today. It cost me $1250 but am very happy with it. I bought the Samsung LA32A650A1 32" LCD TV.

The TV is very clear due to the in built HD tuner. I just Love it!!!!

Iphone Accessories

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 13:30:00 +0100

I have purchased crystal film set (screen protector), iklear (cleaning the iphone) and Skin Solo back protector (well 3 lol).

The white one was opened already and seemed to have been used previously. I have emailed the US suppliers and they have agreed to send me a replacement.

All in all i am very happy with the setup i have :)

New Phone

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 13:30:00 +0100

I forgot to blog about my newly purchased 16GB iphone 3G. There was a lot of drama surrounding this purchase.

I initially got the phone from All Phones. Once i got it home i found some issues with the black "trench" on the phone. It seemed like the glue had pushed the lining up, basically a defect. I took the phone back to All Phones, who directed me to Apple. I went to Apple and was directed back to All Phones because technically there wasn't anything wrong with it.

Yes i have been lazy?

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:30:00 +0100

So whats new?

You may ask what prompted me to blog today? Well its a shit movie I'm watching called "The Machine Girl". Its basically a Korean horror/action film but dubbed in English.

It is probably one of the worst films i have ever seen. The plot, the over the top fake looking action scenes (girl stabs someone through the neck and knife is seen in the mouth. The tongue falls out then intestine [...]

Pillow Review

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 13:30:00 +0100

The last few weeks spent using my pillow i have noticed that i do tend to go to sleep faster. I havent really have had an episode where i lay in bed for a long time and cant sleep.

I would probably give it 4/5.

New Pillow

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 13:30:00 +0100

After a few frustrating days of trying to track down this package, I found it was at my local post office. The person that "tried" to deliver the package did not leave a card so there was no way to find out where its gone. I only tracked it down after calling up Australia post. Here is a pic of the Dunlop Viscoflex® 2nd generation visco-elastic foam pillow. It retails over $129 usually.

This is [...]

So I have been playing with my forex account for the last 2 days. Yesterday I had 200k order at 0.6299. Then i bought another 200k at 0.6277 as i thought the AUD will rally. Obviously it headed down hill about 50 pips, it came to -40. I closed the first order at a $800 loss. Straight after that it rallied 115 pips. That is like a $2200 turnaround.

Just before i go to bed i stupidly thought hey i better put in a trailing stop request so i can lock in profits (last 3 days i haven't used this opt [...]

Forex Time

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:30:00 +0100

So yesterday for some unknown reason i thought the AUD will bounce back after initially down to 0.609 or so against the USD.

I jumped on forex.com and deposited $1100. I have a 200:1 account so i place a 180k order thinking obviously it is going to go up. Being overly confident I didn't look properly and i made a order to sell AUD. Initially it was going well, AUD was dropping but then it turned :P. I was sitting here thinking hmmm oh crap i think I'm going to get margin called (they forcefull [...]

Got a new phone YAY

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:30:00 +0100

I picked up a Samsung i900 on Tuesday from a store in Campsie. I was a little hesitant buying it as the box had already been opened but saw there was no damage to the phone so i bought it.

I got it home and it finally struck me how non user friendly a mobile based on winmobile is. I went online and found most people were using SPB Mobile Shell. I went to their site and forked out $30 USD for it and another $29 for a good movie/music player.

International Debaclements

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:30:00 +0100

I had to send some money overseas in US dollars on Friday. I used my newly created ST George account to send it. The person that was supposed to receive it still hasn't got it today. Lo and behold i get a call from the bank informing me the other bank could not "fund the account". I went down to the branch to be told that the bank has insufficient information for the receiving bank to process to the correct account. I told them i had done this multiple times using my Commonwealth accou [...]

Busy Busy Busy

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 13:30:00 +0100

Today was the most frantic and frustrating day i have had in a long time.

My mum's friend brought a laptop to fix but its keyboard has a issue. The same friend wanted me to try to salvage 2 comps into 1. I had a look but didn't think I could get a working computer out of it. So in all my wisdom i used one of my old pcs to build a working one for them. Took me about 3 hours to get everything from the Chinese writing software to office. I updated it to service pack 3 then the computer wou [...]

Lunch and Shopping

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:30:00 +0100

Today my mate James wanted to have lunch in Hurstville.

We dinned at a place called Miss Saigon and I had a beef loin stir fry and rice while James had a rice and pork dish. All in all it was a enjoyable feed and it was nice catching up with James who I haven't seen for a while.

After lunch I went to buy some shoes. I went to athletes foot to pick up a pair of Brooks runners. The guy that helped me pick the shoe was very helpful and very informative. I did the whole feet imaging [...]

Goals for November

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:30:00 +0100

I'm stealing this idea from Andy's blog (www.eurekakid.com).

For the month of November I have set the following goals.

1. Drink at least 1.5L of water a day.
2. Exercise for at least 1 hour a day (10k steps a day).
3. Eating at most 1 take away a week.
4. Eat healthier.
5. Give up my vices for a month.

I have been pretty good although some of my goals have caused me some hassles. I am very slack at drinking the 1.5L of water a day. I always end up s [...]

Pedometers Recieved!

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:30:00 +0100

I'm still in bed this morning and my brother brings me a package. I have a look and find out its the pedometers that I ordered on Friday. I initially ordered one through their website but then called their support line to see if they can change my order to 2 pedometers. The staff at www.pedometeraustralia.com was more than helpful.

Here are some pics:

So I Win :)

webmaster@flexit.com.au — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 13:30:00 +0100

I was discussing bets with my mate Xavier yesterday. He suggested putting a trifecta. A trifecta bet is where you pick the winner, 2nd place and 3rd place runners. I was using a sports book that doesn't have that option so I didn't do it.

Today after a short nap i woke up to find that out of the 10 i picked the first 4 horses.

They paid:

1. Viewed $41.00
2. Bauer $21.00
3. C'est La Guerre$10.50
4. Master O'Reilly $26.00

Darn the odds went up since yesterday o [...]
