Hey.

Sup?

How are you?


No I honestly mean it.
How are YOU?

I'm bored.

Everything that happens from now.

The Christmas tree and decorations are now taken down. The lead up to Christmas, both amongst my friends and commercially was quite large this year. It seemed as though it was the sole event everyone was looking forward to most. The interval between Christmas and New Years was also filled with that urgency of celebration, as if everyone just wanted to have fun. But what is most disappointing about this whole celebration season is how it ends so quickly. I guess that's why some people have post celebration blues.

Anyway.
Nothing to say here.

So stay there, cause I'll be coming over.

So last night was spent watching ABC1 as I turned on the television and there it was, Stephen Fry's America. There are so many good shows on ABC1 and I spent a good old uh...2 hours just situated in front of the tv. 'Live from Abbey Road' sessions followed Fry's America and hence, I watched that. I don't seem to be making coherent sentences in this post and for that I sincerely apologise but the point of this post is that despite a time interval of 3 years, The Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition transcends time and is an enduring classic. So here you go, The Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition below.

I think I'll be heading off to Hong Kong very soon. And honestly, I am not too excited about it except for the plane ride itself. I think I love the plane ride because I am just not...annoyed. Haha, it's like they give you a seat capsule and you're left in there, undisturbed and able to do anything you please. Well, that's what I do. Only do I ever get up to take a trip to the loo, ask for more food or more water... And when they dim the lights in the cabin and when you are well and truly immersed into movie projected in the screen in front...that, to me is the best feeling ever. I must sound like an asocial retard here but that's considered one of my life pleasures.

Anyway, I haven't been doing too much these few days into 2012. Most that I've done is write a crapload in my journal accompanied with miscellaneous doodles here and there. Thinking about it, I haven't really done anything of scrapbooking in a long time. Perhaps it is a good time to start now, since the year is new and young. I don't know about you, but I feel this year is going to be different in a way I cannot articulate. Everything feels different already so perhaps there may be exciting things in store, or not. Who knows? Just go with the flow... Maybe I should take on something creative, my mind is buzzing right now. 

Halo

1. NYE was good. I chimed my sister's friend's party...I felt kinda bad because it seemed as though I was just leeching off...but in the end, it was a good experience/time. It's been ages since I last had a new years in Australia and to celebrate the arrival of the new year with people other than just simply immediate family was a new experience to remember
2. I went hiking with the same group of people (as referenced above) on the 1st. It was an immensely enjoyable trek in the bush and just being in touch with nature felt really good. Even though it was hot and tiring and everything uncomfortable, I still love hiking. I loved every moment of that trek along the coast and then to the beach. I'm not making much sense but it was a good one. 
3. 2012 is bound to bring in new memories. I hope they will be good ones. Perhaps things will change? Will people come into my life? Will others walk out? I don't know but I'm hopeful that maybe...someone will come into my life. Only time will tell. And heck, I'm being so ambiguous. Ha...

Goodbye 2011.

2011, you've been a gigantic year. I was so busy throughout most of it that the whole year just went by and caught me unawares. On the bigger scale, 2011 has seen some of the most moving revolutions that went to succession and at other darker times, 2011 saw some of the most atrocious natural disasters in history. It was a year of change and there's no denying it.

And in my world, things did change. I went to uni, I made new friends and I think I grew up. I thought I was pretty well grown up coming out of high school but as I sit here and look back at myself and the many things I did last year, I've grown a shitload. You can say that in high school I was always so insecure and there were times when I was just stuck in my mind. I didn't totally fit in with everyone there...but then came 2011, a new beginning in terms of making new friends. I thought 'fuck it, I am going to be myself' and that came off well. I feel happy, as if I am true to myself.

Honestly, a new year really means a new way of writing the year in exercise books sometimes. And tomorrow I am going to wake up the same way, feeling the same as I did the day before... But what is most significant about stepping into the new year is the new start that can happen...like wiping to a clean state or something. Nevertheless, here's to 2012 and a new chapter in life. I don't know what I'll see in 2012 but I'm hoping I'll grow and seize every moment so that I may look back with fondness as I am doing so right now on 2011, despite it being such a confronting year.

Happy New Year. xx

Hello.

As I am not preoccupied with anything lately, my mind has been wandering off to places and I live everyday without looking at the calendar. It only really dawned on me now that 2011 is on its end soon. It's hard to believe because I can remember that exact moment when we stepped into 2011 and farewelled 2010, another unforgettable year ... (I was in London too...ha)

If I look back at the year...like I look at a timeline, this year would feel so massive and long, in the sense that so many things happened yet I lived through everyday and tried to seize all the chances that were presented before me. January flew by like a blur as I was enjoying my time in the UK and Hong Kong. February was spent in Sydney and feeling the blues as I was reluctant to realise that I was growing up and heading into uni. March was spent loathing my course and feeling somewhat lonesome and hopeless at the rate my friendships were developing at uni. April was cold, so was May... June was spent revising and realising that there was an incredibly hot guy in my tutorial group. July was fun and my birthday. August was study. So was September...October...what was that? November was study/relax/meet up. December was spent in Sydney, doing nothing.

And where did the whole year go? Just like that, the whole year just passed by...like it bypassed me or something. It's late at night and my writing ability is on the decline.

I've been rereading my posts on this blog. It's amazing how much clarity I can remember most events by. The thing that gets me about memories is just that I can go back to the mindset before and feel what I felt at that moment. And then I become overwhelmed because sometimes these memories are so good that I just want to be there and experience them all over again. But I have to learn to let go of the past and move on the future. I'm learning, trust me I am. But it will take it's time as I take baby steps to not think about the past as often as I usually do. Sentimental at heart...that's me.

2012 is on it's way. Very soon

And soon....in the blink of the eye, I'll be 50.

Recently.

1. Merry Christmas

2. Went to the Tea Salon at Pitt St Mall with Cortney on Thursday. Twas a lovely outing and I am sure I must have plastered the interweb with these pictures.  But I frankly quite like them because the colours turned out quite nice using the app I recently downloaded.

From the faun forever gone.
