Day 61 - New Year Resolution

Happy New Year!  What is your new year resolution?  

Actually, this is the question I was asked first in this year by my next door neighbour who barely escaped a deportation last year.  My answer: Get out of here!  Her resolution should be the same but her response was:

'Ahhhh, that's trueeeeee!'

Hey, mate, you should be worried about your situation more seriously otherwise you will be really deported next time.

Although getting out of here is the first thing I have to do this year, it is virtually the last year's job.  In fact, the Federal Court database stated my current case status as 'Hearing finalised.  Waiting for submissions.'  What the hell is that stupid status!  It sounds as if the substantive argument is finished and the judge is waiting for the submissions as to costs or something.  The truth is that the hearing continues on papers and will not be finalised until February (!!) even though it should have been finalised before Christmas.  Annoying.

A new year celebration here was a barbeque lunch. Lamb, sausage and chicken.  OK... prawns might not be a must for an Aussie barbie but there should have been onions to go with meat, don't you think?
