Crestmead MedicalCentre denyPharmacuetical benef...


Thursday,Jun 28 2007, 11:02:56 AM

Crestmead Medical centre deny pharmacuetical benefit scheme for me. New Zealand demand payment towards student loan in 1990-92.

As a New Zealander I have been denied Pharmacuetical benefits in Australia. NZ demands payment. 0 minutes ago I have lived in Australia for 26 years and all of a sudden Doctor Ian Johnson, from the Crestmead Medical Centre, has denied myself, Mr.Tim Brian Tufuga, my pharmacuetical benefits using my Health Care Card. I have seen the local medical centre due to a Hemoroid swelling in my sphincter, rectum region, on my anus. It is huge and I can't sit on a chair comfortably. I have two days to go before the Gold Coast Marathon and I have to insert this tube right up my butt and to apply my medicinal ointment. I had to purchase the ointment with no welfare benefit discounts. I suspect that someone has hinted that I am still asleep? I tried to to figure out what Dr. PAvlov was alluding to. I suspect that New Zealand is playing the expendable cannon fodder card when I had received my latest letter from NZ.

I am insulted further with a New Zealand government inland revenue letter with a fabricated student loan scheme that I have been ordered to repay as soon as possible. I have been offered an amnesty and instead of having to repay $1,000 per year I have been ordered to repay $500 to New Zealand IRD this month. I have been informed from New Zealand that I owe the country over $10,000. I have never accrued any amount near this amount when I was a student at Victoria University of Wellington as an undergraduate in 1990-1992.

The New Zealand government has invented this amount and I suspect that there is some IRD fraud involved which will require the New Zealand Police and the Inland Revenue Department having to conduct some further criminal investigation. When I had requisitioned this investigation to the IRD office in New Zealand I was denied assistance and was cut off over the phone not once but twice. There is something very wrong with the bureaucratic process of accountability within the New Zealand government which has consigned New Zealand as my own worse enemy. Paradoxically, as a marathon runner, I am representing my country of birth, New Zealand, and I have considered my right to serve my country, as an athlete abroad, as diminished with an onus of responsibility, to repay a student loan, as the obligatory raison de tre for running 42.2km for my loan repayment schedule. Presently, I am paid only the dole because as a postgraduate scholar from the University of Queensland and as a long ago undegraduate from Victoria University of Wellington in the early 1990s, I have been considered unviable and an invalid person and therefore unemployable since I completed my university studies resulting with my graduating with a student loan, from NZ, and a HECS repayment schedule within the ATO, since 1994-95, whilst I was in Australia.

I have considered what true institution abuse can manifest itself with the nature of the truly vile beast as institutional behaviouralist engineers endeavouring to trigger their expendables to awake as 'sleepers' and to enrage the local community. The Crestmead Medical Centre have medical practitioners who have isolated certain individual patients for selective treatment and Dr. Pavlov's stimuli-response experiment has been stimulated often enough by medical staff almost evertime I call in for treatment. The repugnance memory of my late mother's treatment still remains a constant reminder by the medical staff everytime I call in for my personal treatment. These medical staff are truly vile and ignoble just as the New Zealand IRD are just as vile and ignoble as well. I have always acknowledged the provocative behaviour of certain people and I have considered the road to a tragedy a true realistic outcome as designed by these behaviour engineers. In the meantime, I am nursing my painful butt, it is one more day of rest, then it is to the Gold Coast, on Saturday.

I know that I am earmarked for death by the locals! I understand this hatred. The locals, in Crestmead, and within Logan City, will be my most likely assasins. I know that already, but, I will never leave this place. It is like Beenleigh the locals were vile towards my late mother, my sister, Rochelle Tufuga, and I, and now my late mother is permanently interned in the Beenleigh cemetery. I will join her soon because the locals will murder me.

I will resist them as much as possible.

I will be running 42.2km and my mother's memory is fresh on my mind and I will do this for myself and all that I have endured throughout my life.

Ia manuia Tatou!!

I will endure your hatred!!!

T minus 6 days before the Gold Coast Marathon


Monday,Jun 25 2007, 03:42:00 AM

T minus 6 days till the Gold Coast Marathon. Tapering now. 0 minutes ago

The last week of marathon prep. There is no more I can do to improve my fitness level before the Gold Coast Marathon. What you have sown so shall you reap may be the apt adage for all marathon runners out there.

I have accrued precisely 299.5km in three weeks of road running. That is not riding a bike or going on a car, or even walking the distance, it is running the whole 299.5km in three weeks. I have not aggregated the two months worh of running before I had increased the intensity of my training schedule in the last three weeks of marathon prep.

Paradoxically, the ultimate demise of my fitness will hinge on my nutrition intake leading up to the marathon run. I have to watch what I eat. Unfortunately, I have been too indulgent over the weekend buyint fresh bread with high yeast intake which is the worse thing to eat prior to an endurance event. It sticks to the stomach for over 24 hours. I was too tempted and over indulged with soft freshly baked bread! I paid for it with my 34km run and my bowels wanted to move midrun. I did the same mistake prior to the Mooloolaba triathlon and even the Gold Coast Triathlon indulging in freshly baked morsels of yumminess.
Im a sucker for freshly baked bread. This is a big mistake due to the yeast fungi, like yeast fungi in beer, it sticks in the gut and gives people intestinal discomfort when doing endurance events. It is imperative to watch out what you eat and I don't like powdered food as is often consumed by pros. I prefer to chew something. Powdered food supplements like Endura Max and other forms of easily absorbable food source is highly recommended for athletes, because it releases energy quickly without the mass. It does not fill the stomach though, but one can purchase hunger suppressants in tablet forms to curtail the hunger pangs prior to an event. I cant be bothered doing this so I fall into the trap of having a light breakfast before an event. It is a bad idea, to intake any hard chewy food, if you want to avoid IBS or Intestinal Bowel Syndrome prior and during a long distance endurance event like an ironman triathlon or, in this instance, a marathon run.

When doing an ironman triathlon, in particular, it is tempting to go for a decent energy load with carbo loading with a 3/4 carbo/protein mixture but it is easy to over do it. I learnt my lesson in the Gold Coast Half Ironman triathlon, in 2006, with a carbo load that was incorrectly prescribed. I still finished the event but I had finished in the middle of the pack when I should have finished in the top quartile. If only I did not have to stop running due to my upset stomach. I had slipped down the finish placings by nearly two hundred ironmen triathlete placings. Because of my expected finishtime was scheduled in the high four hour mark and in the low five hour mark. Instead, I had finished thirty five minutes in arrears, due to walking the last four kms with a severe stomach cramp. I was naturally upset for the wastage of my training when I felt ripped off with an unrelated interference to my overall performance due to my nutrition intake imbalance. I had diarrhea for days afterwards.

I am now resting up watching another lot of dvd rentals from the local Crestmead Network video store. It is under new management for the third time in the past seven years. I have seen them come and go and still I frequently return to while away my time watching fictional worlds on the idiot box. My real world is so ho hum but there have been moments when I could have enjoyed watching a movie version of my own life on the big screen. It would only interest my narcissistic self, of course. I have video membership everywhere in Crestmead, Marsden, Woodridge, and Browns Plains. I used to have membership in Beenleigh as well. I mainly use Video Ezy, Blockbuster videos, and Network videos, to watch my dvd rentals. I even buy some as well. I even watch dvd rentals from the local libraries, for free.

I like to read, but, there is something weird about Logan City and the outer surburbian libraries, and, even the bookstores, with the fictional books that I select that I consider is "dumbing the community". I have considered the authors' whose books I have chosen to read a very poor selection because I don't enjoy reading them. Instead, I have decided to simply watch dvds and go to the movies and do triathlons and running everwhere in Logan City, Gold Coast, and Brisbane City.

My primary source of transport around Logan City is my Specialized roadbike. My MTB is stuffed now due to wear and tear and also suspicious accidents in the past. I do not have a car so I rely on public transport to commute anywhere which is about right because I am a single man without a spouse and offsprings.

I am heading to the Gold Coast, this Saturday, 30th June, 2007, and I will be staying at the Sundale Motel, in Queen Street, Southport, for the night.

Hopefully, there will not be anymore commotion like last time when there were blokes yelling all night long and keeping me awake before the Gold Coast Triathlon, in February, 2007. Last time there were bevans and roughnecks in the room next to mine and they had an all night party and they were even yelling racially disparaging remarks all night long. I did not know who they were refering to but I was the only coloured person in the Motel that night so I can not narrow down who their verbalised target may be apart from myself? Needless to say, I had chosen to ignore the all night jibes.

This weekend it will be up to you to have another go at me once again!!!!

Come and get some!!!

Ia manuia le aso uso, ma tuafafine uma,

I have to do some reaping!!!

watching dvd movies a week out from GC marathon


Saturday,Jun 23 2007, 05:33:40 AM

Watching Dvd movies last week before Gold Coast marathon. 0 minutes ago

91km run for last week of peak training, 34km run on Sunday then taper.
Current mood: content
Category: Sports


174.5km in a fortnight running effort, plus 91km distance this week, and tomorrow my last 34km roadrun prep for the Gold Coast Marathon. I have not even included my bike rides which I have done over 30km per week, on my rest days. Finally. I will be tapering for six days before the 42.2km marathon from the Southport Broadwater Events Parklands, at 0650ETD, on Sunday morning, 1st July, 2007.

I will be travelling by public transport from Crestmead to Gold Coast. I will be staying in a Motel overnight, in Southport. I have already pre-booked my accomodation over a month earlier. I have been issued with my kit details and will pick it up in Southport, Gold Coast, on Saturday, 30th June, 2007. It is ready for action for this Kiwi runner.

There is expected over 2,500 marathon runners from 21 countries participating in Australia's biggest marathon event. Australia's greatest runners will, either be participating, or will be, honoured guests, in the pre-run function in the Holiday Inn Resort, in Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, at midday, on Saturday, 30th June, 2007. Big money for the professional runners who would want to win the Gold Coast marathon for the big purse in the end. This is the only time when I wish that I were a featherweight.

I am currently a 79.9kg welterweight going into the marathon, so I will be a heavy weight runner compared to the featherweight and bantomweight majority of runners entering the event. I am just under six feet tall, so it will be a great run for me, I hope? As I will be handicapped with my mesomorphic dimensions, I am 38 inches around my chest and 30inches around my waistline which makes me very broadside on top compared to the minnow sized runners around me. It will be very interesting indeed. I am very defined around my stomach region I have what they call a washboard stomach, a six pack ripped body that would make body sculptors very envious. Even I must admit this narcissistic gift

Even if I don't do well, at least, I will make this event look good. I know that this is certainly not a Samoan character trait, which is true, you see my village is really Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand.

So, if you, "take the boy from the village, you can't take the village from the boy," adage may bode well for my attitude, I suppose. Since I was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, then "Lordy, it is, indeed, hard to be humble at all".

Therefore, "I think grandiose, when I can't afford to be grandiose!" So if I can not change the wrongs for the right and just, as I perceive it to be, then I might try to do something else just as grand vision-like, once again in my own way, like doing a marathon, an Ironman triathlon, a truly charthartic challenge. It is legal and affordable as well. Marathon running is always on my something I must do list, and not just to do it but to do it well. The latter I have some trouble with so at least I have done the most important part and that is to be a participant.

I have been watching DVD rental movies to distract my training schedule during the day.

This week I watched "Irreversible". A French violent movie about revenge and misplaced gutter trash justice vented out in gratuitous violence. A girlfriend is violently raped and her boyfriend highly chraged with drugs, seeks out justice by dispensing his own form of violence begats violence vengence. It is simply a gratuitous fetish of sado-masochistic gory indulgence of absolute violence for the sake of induging the most macabre audience's interests in the most heinous of crimes illustratively gruesome and raw for the immuned to indulge their visual senses. I thought that the plot and theme was as plain as the mindsets of the gutterswipe producers of Grunt boys conditioning movies. G-men become au fait with what to do with fire extinguishers apart from extinguishng fires itself.

Kevin Bacon gives a most challenging role about an paroled child molestor trying to re-integrate into mainstream society by re-entering the workforce as directed from the parole office. His past catches up with him and he has the hapless misfortune of having to serve his sentece all over again in the real world with derision, stalking, violence and workplace harrasments. He seeks redemption when he stalks Mr. Candy, a potential child molestor who stalks schoolboys and offers them candy until one relents and enjoins his paedophile realm. Kevin Bacon's character redeems himself with confronting Mr. Candy and shatters his jaw, he has redeemed himself for his past sins. Interestingly complex and confronting. A must see for anyone concerned about the issue of sexual abuse.

In Robin Williams. "The Final Cut", the general theme of visualised sins of personal lives is seen through the eyes of individuals with installed cameras implanted into their brains. From the moment they are born individual subjects are implanted, unknowingly I might add, with a camera which records everything they experience and aboveall what they see, throughout their entire lifetime. A cutter, or an editor, who act as a post mortem coronor, edits the life story of these individuals, like a defending attorney, in a court of law after the Pearly gates forum, the deceased individual is arraigned before God, or in this instance, before his peers who have survived him/her, and their life story is viewed like a Youtube upload viewed by one and all. The Cutter views the raw version and is privy of the most revealing of secrets of clients. Stories of incest and child molestation is made through allusions and are edited by the Cutter, by Robin Williams, the tarnished reputation of individuals are deleted and the goodness is viewed by one and all. in the end the Cutter is targetted for the secrets he keeps to himself. The story is very interesting for people who have secret skeletons hidden in their closests which will be banging in the back of their heads, even the most lewd of thoughts are said to be revealed in the minds eye of the imputed mind camera. It is quite an imagination it could have been made into a better sci-fi version and a very great theme and idea. It will be a truly totailtarian reality in the not too distant future, the ultimate "Big Brother" flick!

Finally, there is "The Interpreter", by Nicole Kidman, which I find very ordinary in this outlandish political conspiracy of a fictional African Nation of Mutobo, with a highly unstable political regime of President Zuanie who is expected to deliver a speech within the UN general assembly, except an interpreter has eavesdropped a conversation about an attempt to be made upon the President's life within the UN. The story line is predictable with the mystery of modus operanda for the players as tangos within the diplomatic services are considered. The President has an uncanny resemblence of the Samoan former head of State Le Susuga Malietoa Tanumafili II, who had passed away last month. In his role as a would be President Mugabe from Zimbabwe whacking his rivals, and using kids soldiers armed with AK47, and bus bombers in NY, which is highly unlikely and ridiculous for even the most daring of Al Qaeda tangos to even contemplate doing, but, in this movie the plot is limited only by the movie producer's imagination. As a Samoan and realising that the head of state actually did look like Le Susuga Malietoa Tanumafili II, viewing this movie I felt that the movie seemed very insensitive and irrelevant and decided to dislike Nicole Kidman forever.

I have been watching Cate Blanchett's Aussie flick movie about ordinary suburbia Aussies trying to eck out a relevant existence in Godzone with a whatever it takes attitude to realise the Australian dream, some of it may be conceived through unlawfully contrived and yet unsuccessful "Little Fish" drug dealers, with their petty laundering attempts so as to eck out a lawful business venture within suburbia Australia. It is so conceivably realistic and perhaps the most close to reality movie I have seen in Australia. I am impressed with Cate Blanchett once again with this impeccable performance. She is the most impressive thespian Australia has produced in a long while. Hugo Weaving is just as impressive as well. Sam Neil's presence makes any ordinary Australian and New Zealand flick a masterpiece.

Ok, then, that is movies for this week. I'm going to watch something else this week.

Back running again tommorow.

Last word on Queensland's Goddess Themis, yes, she is a blind redneck bitch!!

But, what is new anyway. My congratulations are in order for the promotion of Senior Constable Chris Hurley to making Sargeant post Doomagee Death in Custody verdict. Only in Queensland where a Cop can be promoted after being arraigned as a suspect for a Death in Custody manslaughter charge and even before being acquitted of the charge is already promoted in rank within the Queensland Police Service. Once again, the Queensland Keystone Cops have become so salient in their political message to the world, yes, they would even make the KKK grand wizard, in Montgomery, Alabama, USA, weeping with pride, ah, being proud of Sargeant Chris Hurley.

Well done son, well done!!!


88.5km this week plus 86km last week of running


Friday,Jun 15 2007, 10:06:37 PM
88.5km this week plus the 86km last week of road running.
It is T-minus 15 days before the Gold Coast marathon. I have completed 88.5km worth of road running this week plus the 86 km last week, I have accrued a fair amount of mileage in anticipation for the Gold Coast Marathon. Somehow I still feel as though I have not trained enough. My hill climbs around Logan City and Beenleigh has given me some cardio-vascular workout but the 42.2km marathon in Gold Coast will be flat and therefore it will be fast.

More than likely I will be the only Samoan Kiwi bloke doing the Gold Coast Marathon. I will be representing New Zealand since I am a New Zealander. There will be hundreds of my fellow countrymen/women competing as well. There will be representatives from 21 other nations for a professional prize money for podium finishers.

Since this is my first ever marathon I will be entering the event as a 'green horn'. I have been doing my homework though.

This is my last week of peak training. Tapering one week before the event.
