:p I regret most of the content/jokes here. 40% of which are cringe-worthy. This is not a blog that I'd want my nephews/nieces ...or anyone to read, actually. but it's still up here because of sentimental reasons. The blog took a lot of time to build & I just don't have the heart to delete it. If you do find the jokes funny - I'm happy to know that they're entertaining. Otherwise, here's a more "proper" one http://coffee-choc.blogspot.com ...prob not as funny, mainly about chocolates and coffee and food & music

T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever) by will.i.am ft. J.Lo & Mick Jagger

I'mma  recent.ly dev.eloped  a g.reat liking for da Hip Hop gen.re :)
The b.eats are awe.so.me but the lyrics are just so wrong... (rude, dumbed down)
not something that kids/teenagers should listen to...
Then again, I wouldn't have known what the lyrics are about if I hadn't looked it up online...
So I guess I can be for.give.n for liking the song before I knew what it's all about :p
My fav.our.ite Hip Hop song at the moment is T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever) by will.i.am ft. J.Lo & Mick Jagger...
yeah...you'd never have guessed that J.Lo's voice is in it too! :)
so I'mma share this vid.eo that I found on You.Tube... (uploaded by InterscopeGeffenAM)
and the lyrics (below)

Lyrics:-
(Source: http://www.directlyrics.com/william-hard-lyrics.html)
Oh my goodness, this beat is so hard...
Oh my goodness, this beat is so hard...

[will.i.am]
I'mma go hard, hard to the core
Hard like moth* f*c*in liquid swords
Harder than worldwide stadium tours
I am the future, delorian doors

Will he survive? Never deceased
I don't think I'mma ever gonna rest in peace
I'mma kill the game, leave the rest in pieces
Now everybody want my recipe
Tell a jealous chicken I don't know what the beef is
I'm just making money for my grankids' nieces
I'mma work hard, that's my thesis
This beat is the sh*t, feces

Pardon me ma'am, I'mma go dumb
Smart.i.am, I'm complicated, hard.I.am
I end the beginning, then start it again

[Jennifer Lopez - Hook]
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home

You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home

Oh my goodness, this beat is so hard...
Oh my goodness, this beat is so hard...

[will.i.am]
You can get that, or you can get this
You can call a demon, I'mma call Jesus
You can get a curse, you can get a cross
You can go to work, or you can be the boss
I'mma be the owner, be a thought donor
I'mma go hard, like a muthaf*c*in boner
I'mma make the beat put the people in a coma
You can be a geek or be a rolling stoner

I woke up in the morning,Hard like morning wood in the morning
Woke up thinking about microphonin'
E.t own the mic phone the homeland
Will.i.am The Hardest Ever lyrics found on http://www.directlyrics.com/william-hard-lyrics.html


I'm way out like NASA
I'm way over here I done past ya
I get stacks of cash, you get cashews, I go hard, statues

[Hook]
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home

You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home

[Bridge]
Now let me take this time to say I don't wanna lead you on
You can go hard or you can go home Well I, I know it is a lot to take but I don't wanna lead you on
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard...

Wait a minute, I'mma make it a little harder
I'mma make it a little harder
Give it to you a little harder
THIS IS HARD....

[Mick Jagger]
Hard like a rock n roll
The time bomb's tickin', explode
Baby this is dynamo
Better move back now
It's bout to blow
Hard like Geometry, and Trigonometry
This is crazy
Psychology
Get it baby
I'm bout to win
Watch out now
I'm going in

You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard..

Working Holiday Scheme (New Zealand)

Hey peeps :) :)
Sorry for the long delayed blog posting about the NZ Working Holiday Scheme (for those who are interested). Just been swamped with work and AutoCAD classes over the past few months... I really enjoyed my time in NZ and for those of you who would like to experience working abroad...I'd recommend it :)
Application is instant (online)
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/work/workingholiday/

After the visa approval, you can start planning your trip to NZ :)
some of the sites that I found helpful were:-

1) http://www.trademe.co.nz/
yes, this is a very useful site for finding almost anything you'd need as a new traveler to NZ - from accommodation, household items, jobs, etc

2) http://auckland.gumtree.co.nz/

similar to TradeMe...
except that ad postings are free :)

The ideal travel time will be in Jan (when the weather is slightly warmer) - more opportunities to experience farm work.

So, back in 2009 I quit a rather promising job to experience life in a remote part of the world (after much deliberation) and enjoyed every single moment of it :)

Being the ambitious type (career-wise), it was a tough decision - did I want to be a high-achiever, be a Public Relations Director by the age of 30, or did I want to experience working/living in a new place while I was still young? I chose the latter...

6 months went by very quickly...
There is, however, a down side to the NZ working holiday visa - you are only allowed to work up to 3 months with any company (yes, you need a new job every 3 months).
Then of course, it is also exciting to experience working in different organisations.
I would recommend signing up with recruitment agencies as a Temp staff :)
- this will give you the opportunity to assist in various projects for their clients (usually in the areas of Marketing, Customer Service, Data Entry)

Here is a list of recruitment agencies in Auckland:-
1) http://www.kellyservices.co.nz/
2) http://www.alphajobs.co.nz
3) http://www.quinnstaff.co.nz
4) http://www.adecco.co.nz
5) http://www.frogrecruitment.co.nz/

Fast forward 3 years - where I am now, working & traveling in the US. For those who are interested in exploring this part of the world, you may consider applying for the H1-B Visa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa)
