Vocation Vacation

Best Job in the World ^^.

As they say, it's not a job. It's a calling.

More than 18,000 people from nearly 200 countries have applied for the "best job in the world," hoping to earn good money for lazing around on an Australian island,

officials said Tuesday.

The deadline for applications for the post of "caretaker" of tropical Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef looms on Sunday -- and the competition is already tough, the Queensland state government warned.

"We've been really overwhelmed by the lengths people are going to to draw attention to their applications," Tourism Queensland spokeswoman Nicole McNaughton told AFP.

"Potential applicants have sent out press releases, sourced their own media coverage and established websites dedicated to their applications."

Candidates are required to create a video application in English of up to one minute explaining why they are uniquely qualified for the job.

The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (about 100,000 US dollars) for six months and includes free airfares from the successful candidate's home country to the white sands and clear waters of Hamilton Island.

In return, the winner will be expected to have as much fun as he or she can -- soaking up the sun, swimming, snorkeling, sailing -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.
The successful candidate -- who will stay in a multi-million-dollar three-bedroom beach home -- must be over 18, a "fantastic and charismatic" communicator, and able to speak and write English.

"We need a special person. They are going to be pretty busy having a good time"

Anthony Hayes, Chief Executive, Tourism Queensland


"There are hundreds of islands scattered along the Great Barrier Reef," Mr Hayes told the BBC. "We are looking for someone who can go and explore all the different islands then report back to the world on what they see.

The campaign is a key element in a drive to promote the northeastern Australian state's 18-billion-dollar a year tourism industry during the tough global economic climate,

officials say.

A shortlist of 50 applicants will be announced on March 2, the final 11 candidates will be flown to the island for interviews from May 3, and the winner will be announced on May 6, Tourism Queensland said in a statement.

Job-seekers can apply on www.islandreefjob.com.

Can this be for real?

I'll quit my job like immediately!

Q

FU*k It and Loving it.

During the day, it's all about the sun ,sea and sand.

At night, it's all about the shopping, sleaze and the sex.
Here I am, typing from a computer in the lobby of my first hotel I've ever stayed in Phuket, Thailand, Coast Star Resort.

It's more , as my No-L puts it (or rather, bitch, about), a whore house. The type of budget hotel that you'd expect dirty and sexual things happening within its dingy bare-essentials-only rooms.

Anyway, I'm spending almost all waking moment doing my diving course (Yay! I'm getting fully certified this very afternoon, after 3 long exhausting day of relentless training and I've an excellent coach too, Meardach the Merman; I call him. A good looking Irish fella) and shopping and sight-seeing (you won't believe what I' ve been polluting my mind scape with...) , a room is just a place to put the bags down, take a shower and sleep (of which I've been surviving on nothing more that 4-5 hours max for the last 5 days .)

Well, I have to say, that Thailand, or at least Phuket, has impressed me lots. Unparalled hostpitality, amazingly good food, drop dead cheap goods and services ( ahem... you know....) and the generally relaxed way of life (may be because its a resort?) .

Will I be back?

Q .... Hell Yeah.

PS: I've joked about this place's name ^^.

How do you pronounce the 'ph'? ( Phone, Photosynthesis etc ; a 'f' sound. Then how do you pronounce 'uk'( duck, luck etc) ? How do you pronounce the 'et' sound? ( Let , get .etc)


Then, figure 'Phuket'.

'Fuck It ' .

LMAO.. Wat Da Phuk...... 'Ping Pong Show, Lesbian Show, A Gogo Show...'

Colors of the World

As I sit here grumbling 'oh how life stinks' and I cannot even go for a holiday because of all the commitments and concerns I have to mind,(Yes! I do long for a sea side , beach resort holiday; scuba diving exotic reefs etc ... OMG . ) I must at least pretend that I can go off somewhere.

Stumbled upon world renowned design-conceptual magazine Wallpaper and its stylish and highly informative (read: Expensive) City Guides.

Color coded to look Fly. (Because I cannot actually envision a rugged traveler whipping one out while on the go.)

Lotsa stuff. Lotsa Fluff. Lotsa reminding why I am still stuck here in my miserable room writing about it.


Q

.... THIS, I won't read (duh?.. to sicken myself even more?)

Waiting to Exhale

A good stretch and exhale....

The next Half a Month is Holidays for me.

Supposedly.

But somehow, I don't feel so.

So much unaccomplished. So much unfulfilled. So much commitments.

So much to do , so little time. So little resources to work with.

It's ok not to go for a holiday. It's not stress.

It's just a suxy feeling not being ble to chill anyway.

Since I cannot get a time out, surely I can arrange a chill out?

Q

One Fine Day

A trip up North. A chance to relax. A chance to bond.

A chance to know the Folks.

Was it?

Actually, I'd have a Island Resort Holiday... anytime.

No pretense. No stress. No image to upkeep.
