2008 has been a good one. Actually its going down in my books at the best one yet... it did not start off very well, but its ending on a high that has left me giddy! there is much to be thankful for that happened in 2008, many mile stones and first times. some how it feels like life actually started in 2008 and the last 21 years has just been a slow build up to this climax. needless to say 2009 is going to have to be one hell of a year to top this one. BUT but butttt.....i do have an inkling feeling it will and is going to be SO FUCKING AWESOME!! im exciteddd!!! *cheers* guys to a fantastic year and more fun times to come! PARTY ON!!!!!!

3 continents, 3 lives, 3 days...
its the weirdest feeling in the world.
in just 72 hours i worked in London, partied in Singapore, and had supper with my favourite ppl in the world in perth.

Initially i was kindda bummed at having to leave London cause work was getting really fun and also by the time i get back everyone would have left.

But then i touched down in singapore and had the most AMAZING night at zouk, i loved the club, i loved the drinks, i loved the music, but most of all i loved the company, i just did not want the night to end. i was genuinely happy, euphoric even i dare say... to be back home.

At the same time though, the 20 week countdown was finally over and i got in to perth tonight. The first chance i got when i left perth 5 mths ago was to book a ticket back. guess some how i felt i left in such a rush, i left a lota loose ends that need tending to. But today at the fast eddies, (the only 24 hr diner in perth, where we spent many a night gossping, bitching, just hanging out)i think i received the closure i was looking for. That although it will always be my favourite place in the world, there is no life/love anchor ie. uni/work and marc, that ties me down anymore. And although some of my best and oldest friends live here, Perth is no Hollywood and i am no Paris Hilton and so an agenda of non-stop partying, and not working and/or studying is pretty much not an option.

but until i have to get back to realityy....there is nothing on the agenda but a GOOD TIMEE. hahhahah

My appologies for the lack of updates..

Since Spain, life has definitely slowed down alot, most of you already know, ive been working and living at the duke of kent for a while now. It's a pub tucked away the suburb of Ealing in West London, its pretty and quaint, really liking it here!

The living conditions and wage has left much to be desired but hey, i reckon it could be alot worse.

90% of people who work at the pub are uni students back for the summer, so yeh the work environment is young, fun, makes going to work a little less dreadful.

here's pics of some of the ppl who work at the kent.



Manager kerion and Jamie.

one random drunken night, with tom, doranne and kirsty.


shiv, absolutely pissed off his head

i think im in love.

with the city. the atmosphere. the men. the shopping. its amazing.

staying with a really nice spanish lady here in madrid, which is really great cause you just learn to much about the city you wouldnt otherwise at a regular tourist. she took us around the city yesterday, brought us to popular local food haunts..and showed us the interesting nooks and cranies of the city..saw so much more of the city than just the inside of ZARA, mango, pull and bear and berksha, though i think we have seen not quite enough of.

the summer sale will be the death of me. seriouly busted my bank account this time. the damage, 13 dresses, 5 tops, 1 kintted coat, 1 skirt, etc...really regret shopping in barce though, there were NO SALES...but stuff was still cheap. BUT then we arrive in madrid and prices were slashed 50 - 70%...the 10 euro ZARA tops we bought at La Ramblas were now 5 Euros in SOL.:(

we got here just in time to watch the EURO final. We arrived thinking they were playing on the 1st, but then there were all these ppl clad in spanish jerseys with flags drapped on their shoulders. so yeh went home dropped our bags and headed for Colon (the main square where they were showing the match)30 000 ppl packed into the square, in 35 degree weather, it was hot, it was sweaty but it was AMAZING. the team arrived back in madrid the following day, to a massive party in colon..though we missed it cause we were too busy looking at modern art at the reina sofia. come out to see planes flying overhead, their tails spewing the spanish colours.real pity we missed the open top bus parade.....

now although theres so much more to madrid than just shopping and football, im not going to sit here and reminisce when i can be out there soaking up more local flavourr..

we leave for London tonight. pictures and videos on facebook.

Barcelona is TOO AWESOME..
shopping way too much.
does not wanna leave.
photos soon.

hope ure doing good.

hey all,

so finally arrived in London yesterday morning. Arrives at Heathrow at 7 in the morn and only got to clauds 4 hours later!! lol. we were too cheap to take a 60 pound cab ride so opted for the cheaper 4 pound bus ride instead. BIG mistake. so instead of getting out of the terminal and hopping into a cab that would take us straight to clauds house, we had to take the heathrow express(train thing that connects the terminals) to get to the main terminal, without a trolley!! then take a bus to victoria coach station to meet claud, who was an hour late, then take the damn tube to her place. and omg, the tube stations dont have escalators!! so we had to lug all 35 kg of our luggage up and down the stairs... swear to god nearly died in the process.

Londoners are bloody unhelpful..... they just sorta stare at you and dont even bother helping. buggers. lol.


havent done much yet, except get a phone line and open a bank account, which was surprisingly easy! considering all the horror stories ive heard about trying to open one.

seems like its forever that ive been waiting for this day to arrive..and its finally here!! somehow though im pretty ambivalent about leaving, having been back and forth in recent years, guess ive gradually gotten better at goodbyes. but on the other hand, im just beginning to settle back in, and being in the same time zone as perth is def a plus!

but oh well, flight leaves at midnight tonight!! wish me luck!

so its been a month since ive been back, and everything is pretty much the same, except prices for everything seemed to have increased. 3 dollar hk cafe teh peng, 1.50 old chang kee squid heads, 1.70 bus fares, 3 dollar city cab fare surcharge.

as much as i enjoy coming home to home cooked food on the table, freshly laundered clothes in my wardrobe, and a clean room everyday, as well as being able wake up at 4 and still be able to go go shopping, picking up the phone and have maccas delivered to my door at 3am in the morning, the awesome awesome food, and late night teh o ice limau gossip/bitching with my co 1/4 life crisis confused bummers, all i wanna do it get on the next flight back to perth.

When i told ppl over there of the plans to take a couple of years off to travel, i would get a "good on ya!" "ure gonna have the time of ure life" "really? me too! when are you going?" or an "awesome! i just got back from...blah blah"

i do the same here and i get responses like "Wha! dont need to work ah!" "why so long! waste time!" "what you going to work there as? can find job anot?"

and really im pretty sick of trying to justify myself and having to listen to comments like you should start working and help out with the family, blah blah BS.

all everybody seems to care over here is work and money, seems like the only route to success is to find a good job, make alot of money, vote for PAP .

deff a stark difference to the cruisey aussie life. 15 weeks and counting.....

in other news, i leave for london in 2 weeks!
