A Day of Both Firsts and Lasts

Seeing as I have this blog, I should probably post something to it. I'm a bit worried that once I start writing, I'll never stop - I'm simply so out of the blog habit.

So here I am. Sitting at home about to go to bed, having finished my ginger and lemon tea. I have a cold. This is annoying as in 48 hours time I will be performing in the semi finals of the Oxford Tavern Amateur Pole Competition. Tomorrow holds many hours of rehearsal and a photoshoot at the Kirk on the heart lyra...

But today? Today was the last day of my course at the Fitness Institute of Australia - Certificate IV in personal training. I've grown used to my weekly routine of heading in there and have loved the lectures and really value the new friends I've made - especially Loz... Its the end of a chapter in one sense, but in truth the work is only just beginning.

There's one good thing about having a cold and that's that I get to attempt to consume my own bodyweight in laksa. I believe they have magical cold-curing properties. Yesterday after class I wandered into Chinatown to visit the Happy Chef and ordered one extra hot.

Today I visited the Sam Satay Cafe in Surry Hills for the first time and tried their laksa. Both very different laksas, very good, but my favourite is still from Malacca Straits in the eatery on Pitt St under Woolworths.

Sam Satay's cafe opened 4 months ago and is super funky and cool. Retro and ecclectic tunes pumped through the sound system and, as I helped the manager navigate facebook, I learned that a David Caradine tribute film night was being held there tonight. How cool! Definitely one to visit again. Maybe next time I'll be the owner of one functional camera and be able to take pictures!

I also had my first job interview for a personal training position. I'm pretty comfortable with my interview performance, but this is still a very interesting time for me - the future is uncertain and exciting!

Well I think that's quite long enough for my first post - I don't want to get any form of overuse injury such as runner's knee or what have you. Til next time!
