I've bought a car! It's a Hyundai Xcel - See picture here. Cost me $1250 which isn't bad, and it's gonna cost about another $500 for registration and fixing. Not bad for a first car, should last me a few years if I take good care of it. Richard and Dianne (the people who housed me for the first 4 weeks of my arrival) used to run a garage. A mechanic that they used to employ, and still retain a good friendship with, goes to car auctions, buys cars and sells them on after he's fixed them up - and he has done the same for me, except he's selling it for what he bought it at and I'm paying him for fixing it up. IT HAS AIRCON!! Pretty good aircon at that, we took it for a test drive and it was nice and icy in the car. I can't bloody wait to get started on this car driving business.
Not much else has happened besides that. I bought a $310 watch and then saw an actor on TV wearing the same watch! I bought a 5.1 surround sound set-up for $33, reduced from $199, so pretty stoked about that. See picture here. I also managed to make about $170 in commission last week, so that'll be a nice bonus when I get paid in a couple of weeks. Also, I signed up to the local gym and went to a Body Pump class (I am unfit I realise, or overdid it, one of the two). My legs are still aching and it was two days ago. Still, the more I do it the better it'll be. Got my first gym session with a personal trainer on monday after work.
Got a day off tomorrow, no idea what I'm going to do. Not much else to report.
Over and out.
