Had to present a business plan and marketing strategy draft to RSPCA QLD today, presented to the CEO, Senior executive, Retail Manager, Fundraising manager and the IT developer who also works on the project i was presenting.

Anyways, I haven’t done this since in a year or two since doing post grad studies in new business startup, so it was good to get up and have a yarn in front of a bunch of important people. The presentation went quite well, had my powerpoint presentation, excel spreadsheet and diagrams at hand on Scott’s lappy on a projector.

If you didn’t know already, i’m helping with the strategy of an online store which we are launching and its going to be the first of its kind for RSPCA in Australia.

Here are some frilly facts without giving out too much.

The pet care industry is the 2nd largest industry in Australia inputting $4 billion, 2nd only to bovine meat industry for human consumption. Also, Australia is the number one country for pet ownership… minteresting…

Anyways, back to work

26th Birthday Weekend .. New Photos up

Hey i’ve just uploaded a whole bunch of photos from saturday night, its not very well organised yet, i’m still recovering.. will rename and date properly … eventually.. goto my photo gallery to see how drunk I was.

Went to Story bridge friday night with Hayden, met up with some of his friends that he new via his old work. I saw my friend Amy there, she was getting pizza on her way home. Saw Erin’s sister’s (Kate) boyfriend there and i called him her ex’s name.. woops.

Saturday night was good fun, a big turn-out, about 60-70 people there were part of my group. About 15 odd people didn’t turn up that said they would.. they have been trimmed off the VIP list.

Didn’t get much sleep sunday after waiting for a cab for about an hour and a half and arriving home around 5:30am. Got up cooked breakfast at home, tried to have a nap but to no avail. Then went down the coast to check into Sun City, Outrigger resort. Dale and Jim were there in the foyer drinking beers already.. obviously no opportunity there for me to nap before fishos…

When we ventured up in the lift to my room, we saw some girls in there with luggage and her friend asked if we were there for bb (big brother) .. i didn’t click, but soon realised it was big brother she was referring to. Anyways, i don’t think she was supposed to talk about it.. the end… or is it?

Some girls we had never met but had numbers for were supposed to meet up with us at my room, but they took too long so we went to them. They took and hour then one of them forgot their ID so we had to go get that before fishos. it was 9:00pm by the time we got to fishos. Lucky we had vip access in and bypassed the 50m long line.

Fishos was messy as usual, lots of drunk people including us.

Sun city is usually good accomodation, however the service this time round was less than impressive. I rang up for late check-out and was told 12 would be fine the next day. I get a call on sunday morning after i return for breakfast at 10:30 saying i needed to check out at 11 as it was not recorded in the sysem that i requested it. So basically, it was my fault for their mistake. Seriously, it was an extra hour and they wouldn’t budge. They offered the luxury of me paying $20 per extra hour.. i don’t think so. I mean if they told me that the when i rang up, i would have paid. Very bad service. I hate situations like that where u get punished for doing the right thing.

Hey

I’m having a birthday event on Saturday 24 june at Fringe Bar in the Valley. I’ve booked the Spaceship lounge there between 7:30pm & 11:00pm but we will be there all night. I’ve organised cheap drinks for us between 8:00pm and 10:00pm, they include $2 pots of local beers $4 pints & $4 house red/white wine.

You and your friends are invited, the more the merrier! Anyone and Everyone!

The next day I’m having a BBQ breakfast at mine from around 9:30 Sunday 25, you and your friends are invited to come. ALL YOU CAN EAT haha

We will be reloading at Fishos on the Gold Coast that Sunday night and will be meeting down there at 6:30pm.

I’ve attached a JPG image of the invitation. When you come on the Night, you will be given wristbands for the cheap drinks, just come see me!

If you can, let me know if you can make it ASAP.

If there is someone whom I don’t have contact details that I know- let them know it’s on and tell them to come. If they are busy doing something else, tell them to cancel it. I’m more fun!

Regards
Christian.

Hey Christian!

It’s been a long time!! I hope that this e-mail finds you well and enjoying life!!

I am e-mailing you because Tim Mumford and I have decided it is high time we have a reunion with everyone from St Matts. We were hoping to do this in September, either in Brisbane city or maybe at St Matts - we would love any suggestions for the venue.

We are also going to see if anyone has any class photos or photos in general from the time we were at primary school? If so, it would be really good if you could dig them out : )

There are a lot of people who I am having trouble finding. If there is anyone that you are still in contact with it would be a huge help if you could please pass on this e-mail to them or get them to contact me.

I can’t wait to hear from you and I really hope that you can make it!!

Thanks HEAPS in advance!!!!!! : )

Mobile Post: On the way home from Eagle Farm Races

Had a big day at the Races on Saturday June 10 at Eagle Farm Racecourse in Brisbane. The Stradbroke Handicap was the big race for the day. Although we didn’t win, we did have 2 opportunities to get up, if it wasn’t for an incompetent operator who kept on asking Dale to repeat the bet whilst the race started and we ended up missing putting money down. It was paying $8.50 and we had $20 ready to go on it!

Anyways, was a big day, went to Fringe Bar & GPO in the valley later that evening and met up with the boys and some new friends we made a couple of weeks before. The end… or is it?

This reminds me, i’m planning a birthday event in the valley at fringe bar on saturday June 24 2006. Keep it free! I’ll be sending out invites shortly.
