LOL. I work in an accounting firm.

I didn't think it'd be that many courses but I thought it was a good opportunity to try out the iPhone camera. And then I kept going for completeness sake.

Don't think I've recorded any... it wasn't very exciting to watch on the dyno to be honest. Heck, even my Evo wasn't very exciting to watch on a dyno. On a track, I have a video of my Evo but not on the internets.

WARNING: Big images post- but noone is on 56k nowadays right? I resized everything to 640x480 :) I had a pretty big food day. Breakfast: Pastries/danishes at work. Lunch: Client lunch @ Mathew's Peacock Gardens in Crows Nest Dinner with the boys in Market City...

Factory tune- 2.1L twin turbo diesel. 0-100 isn't that fast at 7.1secs (relative to Evo's sub 5). I dynod' it not too long ago. Posted it up on BoS somewhere but just google "C250 CDI dyno" in Google Images. Mine is the 2nd and 3rd result with Advan Tuning on the dyno chart.

$150/wk will get you a bedroom in a shared apartment not too far from most unis.

Yeah I wouldn't be buying grey imports of cars which are in that price range or super high performance vehicles (i.e. where things can and will wear out requiring maintenance). Besides, 'sif not just buy AUDM to get local warranty (or what's left of it) and a local satnav system (I think R35's...

Getting the girlfriend a Kindle Paperwhite or iPad Mini for Xmas. She can't make up her mind which one to pick. iPad makes more sense but then it's just "another device" she'll have to carry whereas Kindle is light and dedicated e-reader which is what she ultimately wants. So maybe I'll just get...

fair enough, guess i'll just be late lol.

Just means you need to do a bridging course which some employers (e.g. big4 firms) will sponsor. If you want to be a CA then it's great and an extra year or studying isn't going to change your life. But you need to actually want to be a CA.

Torque is much more fun in everyday driving. My little 2L engine in a car with a single exhaust pipe which looks so unassuming.... can really climb hills or jump at the lights.

I can't believe it's another year and another R35 GT-R upgrade: http://www.caradvice.com.au/199359/2013-nissan-gt-r-upgrades-in-detail/ Hopefully this pushes resale values down... which make it even more affordable for the rest of us. All we need are normal mechanics to be able to work on it too!

really? that soon? hmm pretty sure my source was reliable but I guess maybe they're wrong ;) ps. Did they specify this upcoming Tuesday, or Tuesday the 20th?

Good to hear. I found auditing at uni to be very poorly taught and very theoretical/dry. It assumed that all businesses had similar risks and the approach to auditing them was to follow a checklist of procedures. There was no reward or recognition of answers which were creative, encouraged...

really? to pursue actuarial coop o_O?

I'm assuming they must've because otherwise how do they fill the gaps for sponsored places from the employers?

I heard mid-late November.

Good for you

For 99% of people, yes. What KidDang said is right, but also it's to enable the firms to make you an offer for a graduate position which you can start in within 12 months or so.
