I'VE MADE IT

Well, the Australian Citizenship Test for me is over. I took it yesterday and passed, with 1 mistake out of 20 questions or 95%.The thing is the one that I answered incorrectly haunts me. I could make a 100%.

My advice to those who will sit the test, read the first 7 pages. 30% of the test will come from the priviliges, responsibilities and values of Australian citizenships. I cannot reveal you the questions. I have done my part of reading the book and I wish you do the same. Good Luck!

New Wii Games?


The hurling of shoes by one journalist at US president George W Bush can be an inspiration to Nintendo bosses by coming out with a Wii game by the same nature. Players hurl shoes at famous and infamous personalities with different shoe sizes.

Miss Russia is MISS WORLD 2008

(From Miss World website)
Russia is crowned Miss World. The eyes of the world were on one stage when Kseniya Sukhinovia from Russia was crowned Miss World in a glittering, star - studded ceremony at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, the City of Gold. The 2008 Miss World Festival, a record breaking year in the number of contestants taking part, has seen 109 beautiful and talented contestants spend an unforgettable month in South Africa. However, there could only be one winner and the applause rang out in the packed Convention Centre as Julia Morley, Chairman of the Miss World Organisation and of the international panel of judges, announced the winner`s name. Kseniya Sukhoinova smile spoke a thousand words to a worldwide TV audience of over 2 billion as she was crowned by last year`s Miss World, Zilin Zhang. Trinidad and Tobago`s Gabrielle Walcott was second runner-up and India`s Parvathay Omanakuttan was first runner-up. The other two finalists were South Africa and Angola.

IT'S BEEN AWHILE

It's been a while since my last blog. Well, I just having my 3-month leave from my work in Saudi Arabia. I've been here in Sydney since 1st October 2008 but I don't have the time to sit on infront of the computer firstly because my son is using it and secondly the speed is so slow that I got bored waiting. It is much faster now after we updated it to a bigger data memory and a much higher subscription rate. I don't know if the service provider intentionally slows the transfer of data so that you got irritated and updated your account in the long run.

For the past months, I've been doing my cross stitch project, to kill the time, entitled "The Last Supper" by Leonardo Da Vinci. I started it on 5th October and finished 2 months after. I could not upload the pictures of it because I am only a guest to this computer and the administrator, my son Karlo, is already in the Philippines, with his mom, having their summer holiday. They will be back on the 1st of February 2009 while I will be returning to Jubail, Saudi Arabia on the 30th of December 2008 and will be arriving there on New Year's Eve.

I am alone in this unit, preparing for my Australian citizenship test tomorrow, 17 Dec 2008. I hope I pass that test. Fingers crossed.
