It's cold, out. [01 Jul 2009|07:53pm] [ music | Knives Out - Radiohead ] Working on EFFIE awards again this year. Worst state of my desktop than it has ever been before. And that's Flight of the Conchords behind! Things to get excited about this month. 1. Scratching my brains out for EFFIE 2. JULY 2ND! *nudges JC* 3. Singapore. 4. Singapore WITH Monsta Meh! 5. Binge drinking this weekend. 6. Rock climbing. 7. More running. 8. 10km marathon-ing mission before year ends. Back to scrambling and tidying up the desktop before more slaving tomorrow. And by the way. Happy 1st of July! * 1 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

*hugggggles Lynn like kerayyyzee* [25 Jun 2009|12:27pm] [ music | Everybody Knows You Cried Last Night - The Fratellis ] If there's only one reason to be happy in the world, it'll be because of you. YOU'RE COMING BACK AUGUST 4TH! I misssssshhhesss youu like crazy gila babi!!!!! Let me know what you itinerary is like. We shall meet ups!! And hang and chill all day talking about sweet nothings! * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Update, whabbits =) [22 Jun 2009|12:31am] [ music | Crack the Shutters - Snow Patrol ] Snow Patrol's Crack the Shutters rock. I remember the awesomeblossom feeling of watching them live in Sydney. And it feels great knowing that an hour of running and another hour and a half of swimming can turn your day around. This weekend has been unproductively, lethargically, and restlessly tiring. minus the fact that MNG's sale has been the best thing ever. Can't wait for Singapore next month. Four more weeks to be exact. I want to get: 1. A Diana lomo (not sure which one, yet) 2. MOS BURGER. ggkthnxzbai. 3. Beer from Brewerkz 4. Morton's apple martini and awesome steak sandwich 5. Visit MUJI'S. 6. Look for running shoes. 7. Shop for clothes? 8. Get another bag from Clark Quay. 9. iPod screen protector 10. Check iPhone pricing. 11. CDs!!!!!!!! OMG, shop for CDs!! 12. Eat, eat, eat, eat. 13. Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink and be merry! By end of August I should be able to decide whether or not I'm still flying to Japan in March. Meanwhile, must go meet financial planner. So that I can still go to Germany end of next year. JC's gonna be back next month, Meeting Murray and be host for a couple of days in November (he's flying in from Tokyo, just to see mes! Heh) and yeh that's about it I suppose. No hiking this coming weekend, but will prolly do more rock climbing. Ishouldsgoshleeps,worktomorrows. Oyasumi! * 2 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Wanderlusting. [16 Jun 2009|12:24am] [ music | Innocent - Our Lady Peace ] MOS Burger Unite! Singapore next month, W00t, Mortons FTW. So I was thinkething right, that if I wanna go Japan next year and Germany too, I've to settle my finances really well. Japan, there'd be, free accommodation (Wess, you're awesomeblossoms) cheaper food (apparently I can eat for cheap too, according to Wess) and not to mention, flight tickets are only RM1206 including tax. Say, six k enough kan? Or less. Then Europe. No free accommodation. No cheap food. Flight tickets are still in the range of RM2500 - RM3+++ Say, ten k there. Or more. *counts* Leave Japan? I will not sacrifice going to Germany end of next year. I can see that my mother's rolling her eyes right now, as I swore I'd not leave the country for another year and a half. heh. Comments! (Ah, binge drinking one of this weekend. Aruns come back soons!) * 4 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Rachael Yamagata makes me miss Sydney. [01 Jun 2009|01:48am] [ music | Quiet - Rachael Yamagata ] I have learnt much more at work in these two weeks than I have, spent five years in school. Weekends, running (yeay, finally!), swimming, getting new goggles I ish broke. On the list, barbecue, more swimming, more running hopefully (I've given up trying to wake up at seven to run each morning for the past two weeks) pesto pasta lessons DDR lessons (noooooooooo!!, you're ebil even if you don't read this) MORE ROCK CLIMBING *freaks out and dies* I want to go cycling but I've no bicycle. less drinking, sheesh. Less spraining neck, gah so annoying. More theater meetings *tiring la* eating less carbs eat more fruits Make sandwiches! Must read book. Must finish at least one German lesson a week! Darn not productive. All I do all day is eat and eat and going out and eat and arcade-ing. I spend way too much money on food, Bleh. Singapore in July, I've a feeling I'll end up going alone. Ohwellsh. Morton's FTW. And getting tonnes of CDs! And Muji's!! And MOS burger! And apparently, there's a crazy sale there too. NOT GOOD. Not good. Not good. Stop me, someone. because I can find a million reasons to justify why I should be buying stuffs in July. Double bleh. Who wants to come? Kay, shleep time. Will try waking up to run tomorrow if my limbs don't feel like they're gonna fall off anytime. * 7 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Burung yang teramat gemuk [26 May 2009|08:11pm] [ music | Italian Leather Sofa - Cake ] Hee. My best friend (and his company), just opened up a quaint but cosy lil' cafe.   I especially love the white chairs and the huge blackboard behind. Uber old school, but warm and nice! I suggest you guys go check it out! Webbie link: Bigfatbird * 2 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Because it was lunchtime. And because I can. [25 May 2009|09:29pm] My desktop at work. Shh. I get OCD about things like that. I folderise anything I can get my hands on, just so that it looks splonkily clean and empty. * 8 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

How's you coping with work, Whabbit? [17 May 2009|09:06pm] [ music | Save You - Matther Perryman Jones ] You see, I think working's rather liberating. Mehbe it's not fair to say so because I only had one day of work as of yet, and that wasn't even working. But I love how I don't have to come home knowing I've to type reports, or rush for stupid assignments and study all night for exams. I feel like I've all the time in the world to do whatever I want. Rock climbing was so much fun so scary and painful to the feet and fingers but I know I'll do it again, just for the adrenaline rush and screaming "NO I'M STAYING UP HERE, SO DON'T YOU DARE ASK ME TO COME DOWN!" I never knew I had that much of a problem with heights, till then. Yeah. That, and killing zombies, having beer for cheap during happy hours, dinner over mamaks, chilling at ze cafe while writing and watching people paint pretty things with Photoshop, swimming the next day for a good whole hour before it started raining, awesome Japanese dinner, thanksGillytheWilly! and knowing that as much as I'm not looking forward to having tonnes of work to do because it's Monday, I'm totally up for waking up at seven in the morning to run around the park next to my house before leaving for the office. And if I get to come home early, I might do another round of running again. You very well know I never fit in well in school. It's too constricting and limiting for a person such as me. Mmhmm. Weekends never felt so fulfilling before. Over and out. * 6 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Auf Wiederschauen!! [15 May 2009|12:58am] For now, I bid ye goodbye. Work starts in approximately 9 hours. And though I've still the weekend to look forward to, I forsee that I'll prolly disappear for the next six months. Other than rock climbing all day till I drop (literally) on Saturday, church and swimming on Sunday, Unabashed's gig on Tuesday, it's all work and no play. Not anymore. Time to be serious, yo! So I apologise beforehand about not being able to do dinner or hang out on weekdays and Sundays from July onwards. May - June: To reorganise work schedule, new tasks, be friends with clients, re-learn how briefs are written, etc. June - September: Another three months to do proper work, plus rehearsals at night, four times a week every night, and getting publicity running, and looking for sponsors, and more slaving. Yes, I'm stage managing again for a play in October/September. Just got back from TOS's meeting and I'm all excited about how things are turning out already. The freaking sadistically disturbing yet entertaining script is giving me the goose bumps. This is where I test my limits of doing two things at the same time, while keeping everyone happy while at it. I may sound like I'm crazy, cause how in the world can one stage manage and work in an advertising agency where deadlines are sial tight all at the same time, right? Beats me, I'll let you know how it goes. But one thing's for sure. Whatever happens, I'll have to do both perfectly well. No room for mistakes, and I've to be damn efficient with managing people and time. Ouh, the challenge. I therefore welcome no-time-to-breathe-eat-sleep-read with open arms. Let the phone ring inccessantly, and e-mails overflow. This'll be fun. * 5 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

[13 May 2009|02:53pm] [ music | Gorgeous Behaviour - Marching Band ] ♥ the rain, and thunder and lightning. ♥ beautiful music that's randomly playing on my iTunes radio that goes perfectly well with the weather. ♥ writing when it's raining. ♥ fresh air. ♥ me room's new makeover! I should post pictures. ♥ learning German. ♥ reading till I fall asleep, book on face. ♥ glorifying days such as this. * 2 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

There is no more. [10 May 2009|01:26pm] [ music | Stronger - Public Symphony ] I didn't like Sydney all that much at first. It reminded me way to much of KayEll. The traffic congestion, and er, sometimes safety. But it's a city, and cities are cities. As much similarities as they must have, it's after all, a city. Traffic and crowds would be two things you cannot avoid. I like Sydney even more, now! The fact that it's so accessible to anywhere. Wanna go to the beach? Just a ferry ride away. The zoo? A ferry ride away. Hiking and jungle trekking? A ferry ride away. Pubs, bars and cafe? A train ride away. Or bus ride away. Awesome museums that you can spend all day at? A walk away. Parks to spend lunch time at, or just to go running? A train ride away. So convenient, I must say. It's like there's everything in Sydney, everything. All in the center. Absolutely love it. And not to mention that there's too many awesome bands that goes there to play every month, or week, or day. Bands that you'll never get in Malaysia, sadly. Must cross over to Milson's Point from the bridge. It's where you can find all the yachts and pretty houses that costs millions of dollars, and awesome view of the Sydney Harbour. Try getting lost in the city, take a walk along The Rocks area where they've all kinds of restaurants that serve awfully good food and puppet shops! Must check out the markets during the weekend too. Pretty clothes and artsy paintings and what nots, great place to shop if you've way too much cash to spend. The Botanical Park houses the Parliament House, I love the park here, it overlooks the bridge, and plenty of flowers. Perfect way to spend lunch or bask under the sun when it gets a bit cold. And if you're way too free and don't feel like taking a train, try walking from CBD to King's Cross though it'll be insane to try to get to Bondi Junction from here. I got sooooo lost, I tell you. Like I mentioned, a ferry ride away from Manly beach, and cheap steak! Damn good. Two highlights that I adored about Sydney, I could go surfing! Was so fun! Now only if I've a surfing kaki back here, and we could soooo go. And of course, the V Festival that I managed to catch! There was Snow Patrol, Kaiser Chiefs, The Killers, Howling Bells and my favourite Elbow! The concert was spectacular. Despite the fact that I've to run from one stage to another to catch those different bands. Freaking tiring but totally worth it. The exhilaration and anticipation and excitement when you manage to get to stand in the front row. Finally, sunsets in Sydney is a must watch. It's gorgeous. The sky changes colour every few minutes, absolutely beautiful. Night life too! Well then, the end of my Australia leg. Hope you enjoyed it!! * 4 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Fancy a fairy in your garden? [30 Apr 2009|04:10pm] [ music | Wet and Rusting - Menomena ] Yeay! Script Frenzy is so over and I've only managed to write 16 pages of crap. Awesomeness. Been travelling, again. Was in Singapore with the Whabbit and some other random people whose name I cannot mention due to life and death reasons, haha. Then was in JB doing nothing but rot in front of the pc, then back to Singapore again to catch Rachael Yamagata perform live at the Esplanade, then to JB to rot somemore, then to Singapore to catch ze flight to KK which was annoyingly delayed for two hours. But that aside, Adelaide! I was so lazy I didn't even colour correct these pictures, therefore minimal editing. Warning: Too adorable aminals present So I arrived in beautiful, absolutely beautiful Adelaide and was then brought to dinner at an Italian restaurant by the beach. I had one of the best beef porterhouse kebab ever!   And the next day right after that I was shipped off on a tour to Kangaroo Island, which I LOVE! I love Adelaide, yes. So much. The skies are always so blue, and weather nothing like Melbourne.   Erm, yeah so I went to this tempat where they have like, tonnes of seals. The view is spectacular, yo!   And then to this aminal farm-zoo thing where they have, well yeah, aminals. The koalas here don't stink. and touching them is just sooo fun cause their fur is super soft. Ze roos are extremely friendly- they'll let you feed them by hand. So then there was this little baby kangaroo that got hit by the car and was sheltering at the Eucalyptus place. It broke its entire jaw and stuff, so yeah, kesian. This was mostly how the roads looked like in KI. Then I got back to my backpackers, went out later at night to hunt for the penguins, no pictures though, cause I couldn't take any. But the night sky was filled with stwars, just astronomical. And I was obviously more dumbfounded with the sky filled with those stwars that we cannot see here, than those little penguins that I thought was suppose to be huge. Hit the roads the next day to see er, rocks. Huge, big chunk of rocks that oversee the ocean.   Off to the honey farm, nyumz! Honey tasting was fun. But er yeah I think that was about it. Kangaroo Island is vewwy vewwy pweety, yes.   Back to the land of Adelaide, and was then shipped off again to another tour! By my beloved aunt. Wine tour this time round. To Wolf Blass, they have awesomelicious wines! Erm, no pictures cause I was too busy drinking. Lols. And made a short lunch stop at this quaint lil' German town called Hahndorf. So yeah, just basically walked around. Bought myself the most delicious milkshake ever. Made some friends with old people. Not that it's a bad thing. Fairies in your garden, anybody? Took more pictures. That was it. When I got back later in the evening, went to check out the CBD with ze aunt. Adelaide's CBD is rather quaint too, you can find like, old record shops and they sell all sorts of stuffs. Plus, they had a bar upstairs too. Reminded me of Melbourne. Had more awesome Italian risotto, and eh, managed to catch the Fringe Festival!! Best thing ever. The Fringe Festival is the largest art festival in Aussie. Though I didn't get to do everything, or catch every single play that they had, I still got to watch Punch and Judy, goth version! (Too dark for pictures) I've never watched Punch and Judy in my entire life, so was rather excited. Glad I went, most hilarious puppet show ever. Then they had this coffee shop with a bus's skeleton in it, or something like that. And a bar in the bus! So cool. Alrighties, done with Adelaide for now. Last stop, Sydney! * 8 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

I'm backlogged 13 pages on Script Frenzy [08 Apr 2009|04:20am] You ebil whabbit, you're going to Japan! *rawrs* I LOVE MELBOURNE. There's just so much to see, so much to do, and so much to eat. *psst* (Jamie Oliver's restaurant is one of them)   Aside from your stupid, pathetic, unpredictably frustrating weather, dear Melbourne, you're actually quite attractive I must say. *pfft*   Melbourne, or in other words how I like to call it, Si Melibourne, is a city densed with all sorts of artsy-fartsy-craftsy-paintysy-simplysy stuffs all over the place. From great architecture   to whacked-out weird buildings in Northcote Cow on a tree in Docklands   to an abundance of cafes and awesome coffee on Collins St.   From pubs in hidden lanes   to the rooftop cafe to super colourful-ly contrasted graffiti on the wall   and on the floor. And a smoking statue. It is absolutely the place to eat drink and of course, party the night away with crazy friends Queen Victoria's market is a definite must go. There's so much to eat, and buy at the same time. Plus, they don't cost an arm and a leg. Trams are all over the place and so are awesome looking posters. Remember Punch and Judy? And someplace far, far away okay maybe not that far away, but an hour away from the CBD, lies my loft   La Trobe university. Where I learnt that it's awesome to study theater or just to mess around with people who are into theater. Well then of course in every trip, it must be accompanied by a side-tour of the Great Ocean Road. Please don't ever take the one day tour because it is very, very tiring. The Twelve Apostles   and other miscellanous pictures of the beach that I took when I sneaked away during lunch while everyone was busy snacking on their bacon, cheese and ham sandwiches.   I hope I've entertained you enough till now, for there are way too many pictures to post up that I'd rather you see, than read what I wrote. The Wicked Musical is to die for, Meli, go! Melbourne's awesome, it really is. Now if only they have decent Asian food that I can put up with. Hrmm. * 7 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Turn this into light [03 Apr 2009|07:28pm] [ music | It's Beginning To Get To Me - Snow Patrol ] So I'm back, done with recuperating, putting up with Maxis (I'm terminating it soon, and will have to deal with Streamyx instead) caught up on having awesome Malaysian food ('cept for my dad's cooking, Bak Kut Teh, and Nirvana) having some potterhouse steak cravings, still, turned down three jobs out of the four, in which was the most unexpected one. It's not something to be proud of, because I feel bad turning people down. Yes, I've a problem with saying no. No, you cannot have my account password. Trying not to freak out about July's production, and loving Snow Patrol every minute. Pictures will be in batches, and here goes Brisbane's. And in case you've missed my lomo pics, it's on Facebook. This is my loft, on Roma Street. Okay, maybe not mine. Nadira's. Not hers too, really. A friend's. Sama la tu. I kinda like the place, and yes I will miss Roma St. And you Si Nadira! All the best with Dream Cradle. I love the architecture in the CBD and also at the sub-urbs. It's very pretty and unique. Brisbane's a tiny city, comparatively, but not that tiny. It can get very, very quiet by five pm. Though then again it can get a bit freaky by eight especially on Fridays when most people get drunk by six pm, you get the gist. My favourite place would have to be Southbank. They've awesome Cold Rock ice-cream, a man-made beach, yes really, it runs all along the Brisbane river in which the city you can admire from at night by taking any of the CityCat ferries. And Subway never tasted so good before. Being the tourist I am, Meli dragged me to the Wheel of Brisbane. I must say it was quite exhilarating to be so high up. And the view was quite spectacular. I must say I love Fridays in CBD, because that's when a pint of beer goes at $5 AUD, same goes for cocktails, all day long. West End and Paddington was rather interesting, considering that one can buy clothes and nice bags for $2 - $5 AUD, depending on where you go.   Vintage shops are awesome, and so is this one that we stumbled upon. You can find the most awesome milkshake ever at The Three Monkeys on West End. At the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, they have animals armed to kill. No, er not babies. But er, this baby has a killer look. Heh. These roos can kill. Really. Look at them! I have an obsession with sheepiesh. They make me smile. You have no idea how many pictures and videos I took just of the sheeps compared to the other aminals in that huge sanctuary alone. I love sheepiesh. Baa baa black sheep, yes, it's a black sheep. Damn cute! Then to end this with, Gold Coast is a surfer's paradise. I repeat, it IS a surfer's paradise, no doubt about it. So swimmers, please go someplace else where you know you won't get killed by the waves, thankyouverymuch. * 6 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Wooooo [31 Mar 2009|11:18am] [ music | Signal Fire - Snow Patrol ] I ISH BACK. SCRIPT FRENZY IN ONE DAY! AND YES, I AM TYPING IN CAPS. JUST BECAUSE. HULLO LYNN! * 3 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Wombats! [01 Mar 2009|11:31pm] [ music | Icicles - Let's Go Sailing ]     I'm officially away for a month, to the land of sunny, beachy and oh-so-awesome Australia. Do miss me when I'm gone, because I won't, you. Heh. In case you need to get hold of me: +614 2395 4888 *muaks muaks muaks!* * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Awaiting the awakening of the koalas [01 Mar 2009|07:49am] So I've been up all night doing random packing and worrying about my luggage weight. I seriously think it's as heavy (or heavier) than moi. It's nice to notice how the sky turns from dark to bright daylight at seven a.m. (too bright, need to turn off lights), birds chirping and all. Feels like a good day! I'm slowly warming up to the idea that I am flying off tomorrow. I'm slowly getting used to realising that I do have to start getting excited about this. I'm predicting that by the time I board my flight (or heck, even check-in) at seven a.m. tomorrow, I'd be so excited; all I want to do is journal it down. On real paper. With real pen. Different coloured pens, too. I'm hoping that I'd make a friend or two with whoever that's seated next to me on that ten hour flight. I hope he/she doesn't snore. Or talk too much, as a matter of factly. I'm wondering where my transit would be at. Singapore, prolly. Lists! Seems like the new trend; get used to this for when I'm away you'd get nothing, no. Nothing at all. No posts, no updates, no pictures. God forbid all I want to do is update LJ and FB to tell the whole world how much fun I'm having. I won't die without the internet. My itinerary would not exactly be fixed, since I'm spending a considerably long time in each city, except Adelaide of course. These are places that I thinketh I should visit, though I'm not sure myself. We'll see how it goes from here. Or er, there. Brisbane Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Southbank, Stony Bridge, University of Queensland, Fortitude Valley, Kangaroo Point Cliffs, The Gabba, St. Lucia, Paddington, West End, Auchenflower, Brisbane Square, Byron Beach Gold Coast Surfers Paradise, Ze Theme Parks, Coolangatta, Burleigh Heads, Main Beach Melbourne Fitzroy, City Centre, All museums, Great Ocean Road, Royal Exhibition Building & Carlton Gardens, Brunswick Street, Bourke Street Mall, Little Bourke Street, Richmond, Brighton, Prahran, Northcote, Southern Cross Station Sydney Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour, Darling Harbour, Bondi Beach, Manly, Circular Quay, Paddington, Pancakes on the Rocks, Kings Cross, Sydney Fish Market, Opera Bar, University of New South Wales, Hillsongs United, The Rocks, Centennil Park, Chinatown, Harbour Side Shopping Centre *Subject to changes and distance, regardless. * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

Slinky on an escalator [21 Feb 2009|12:48am] Aha! Been a while since I had this countdown thingy. Was just going through posts from two, three years back. I used to have so much to say. And there'll be loads of comments. Now it's just quiet. I actually like it that way, but hello phantom readers, it's nice to know that you're here, even though you're not here. (your absent omnipresence is very much felt) Next week will be lots of packing, itinerary planning, hoping that Xian will find a new place to stay soon, otherwise I'll have to add Brisbane to my plans of "living-on-the-streets", aside from Sydney. Brisbane Prolly check out Gold Coast, Cairns to bungee, and the city. Byron Bay- Rach said it's a must go. Art gallery hopping. I've yet to think of what else to do. Oh yes, Nadira. And a random stranger on LJ if she decides to respond. No, I've decided not to catch Mogwai after all. Melbourne Lots of plays to attend, crashing into Syarzaza's lectures, making good friends with the drinking buddies that she'll find me, meeting up with Beanuss, Shamironzo, Riyana, hopping around hoping I'll find vintage stores and second-hand clothes/stuff stores. Vineyard hopping! Eat, eat, and eat. Adelaide Er, meeting up with my radiologist aunt, she'll prolly bring me around. Will only be there four days anyway. Penguin watching unite! Not sure if I can make it to meet Simple Bryant and Zlikha in Tasmania or not. So far away larh. Sydney Living off the streets, not sleeping, enjoying the night life, drinking, partying, drinking, more drinking, making random friends, meeting up with an LJ-er (or two), if all goes well. Go surfing (or at least, learn how to) Head out to Bondi (pronounced Bond-eye) Beach for a day or two. Gigs, gigs, and more gigs!! Ooh, live bands be awesome. Kira. Three cameras- Jiggler's Lola, my Ixus, and the fish-eye. I might just fish for another lomo in Aussie, we'll see. I'll end up snapping so many pictures when I get there, More than I can possibly imagine, so much so that I wouldn't bother coming online unless need be. Will leave a goodbye/away note before I fly, if you don't notice it on my Facebook already. This is my Aussie number, which will be active on March 2nd, Aussie time. +614 2395 4888 It's somehow exciting all at the same time but it's not getting to me yet. * 14 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *

[10 Feb 2009|11:54pm] [ music | Matahari - Rashdan Harith ] Eh, it's been two weeks? Ahaha. Nothing worth note-ing about really, just plenty of randomness out of nowhere. My favourite Rashdan Harith's Matahari song is out on his MySpace He's awesome, yo! Even better during live gigs. Met up with this friend I've not seen since I was ten years old? I forget. Randomly racking up plans to fill my oh-so-boring weekends, though of course I've excellent reasons to look forward to March. February's been so slow, I'm telling you. No vacations, no travelling, just lotsa movies, and eating and reading- reading Mein Kampf (too); I don't care what you think. Then I've another play to stage for July with Kel again, auditions will be in April, so excited, yo! Spoilers, later. Cast party, I could't miss them any more than I did before. Syarzaza, Riyana, Shamir, Bryant and Zlikh's leaving for Aussie, Rash has his EP coming out soon, Kel might leave next year for studies, Rach's gonna do her travelling stint again, everyone else is moving on, moving on! I've like a battalion of people to meet in Melbourne, schedule's so packed already- if not for Syarzaza (thanks, love!) a few in Brisbane, no one in Adelaide but that's okay, won't be there for long anyways, and Sydney (is still on fire?), well, hopefully Kira will get a week off work to be my partner-in-crime. It's pure genius to have friends who can fly half-way across the world just to keep you company. *keeps fingers crossed* Slowly but surely, I will be planning for Europe next year. I'm still deprived of being a workaholic at a proper workplace, and perhaps it's true that people think I may be too fussy with jobs and such, maybe they're right, but I don't settle for second best. All or nothing people, all or nothing! I will have to buy Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore to read in the plane. Get Lola from Jiggler (thanks dahling!), get the Aussie pre-paid phone card from Beannus, erm, that's all I can think of for now. Awesome friends you make along the way are those that adds colour to your life. And Mat if you're reading this all the way from where you are in England, hullo! On a random note, somehow my name is now JoJo! * 4 Gardens grew * Mary, Mary, quite contrary *
