I don't like this inconsistency. But I have learnt that sometimes inconsistency may be a good thing. Like how some singer comes up with a really popular hit once and then takes a few years to come up with another really popular hit. Celebrities consistently breaking the rules is boring. Another thing that is so yesterday is me consistently trying to come up with reasons why I blog so inconsistently.

Oh well. Consistent or inconsistent. My last few months have been pretty interesting.


This photo brings forth bubbling nostalgic feelings.

I think the only realization that would cause feelings of denial towards growing older is the drifting apart part of life. My friends are now all over the place. And as much as I love the idea of having someone to have tea with when I'm in Paris (yea right!) or a shopping partner in Melbourne (pfffft!) OR a tour guide in Rome (eerrrr...), I also like the idea of having BIG*HUGE*GIGANTIC*GARGANTUAN catch up sessions where everyone is in a jovial mood and completely at ease talking about the things that least matter in life but are seemingly most important at that point in time. Point is, I like having my close friends nearby, and now everyone is distributed like marbles let lose from a bottle, all living their own strange little lives while I have to resort to figuring out my own odd one.


This photo brings forth more nostalgic feelings.

Two years passed without the presence of this petite missy in my life. Somehow, being in Auckland change a little when she left after my first year. Yet seeing her on my 23rd birthday made me realize that people change, but true friends will always share the familiar things that brought them together in the first place. I wish Joanna was in town for longer, coz then I would have felt like we really stretched our time together to make up for those last two years. But her not being here gives me another excuse to earn money for a massive holiday splurge. Perth. Here I come. Someday.

I've learnt to respect anyone who is able to stay in a committed long distance relationship. For me difficult is an understatement when the other is not around physically. But perhaps that only applies to me because I am certainly not the most patient person in the world. Nevertheless, I guess I have learnt to accept that people get into relationships for so many different reasons. And if I am in this one for all the right reasons, just a bit of distance is not going to be a determining factor as to how the future carves itself. Interestingly, I find that this very distance will galvanize us for more challenging times. And yet. Let's be real about it. I miss this boy everyday of my life. And commands that he concedes and decides to stay with me in Malaysia. At least until I decide on the next destination in my life.

I have been travelling. well. not really. but somewhat. Road trip to Malacca is my idea of travelling. It was a good trip. Coz it involved ALOT of walking. Getting lost. And eating. An adventure in itself. And I had the best company ever. Apart from that, I also did make my way up to Gentings when Akash came to town. I'm trying to make it a point to venture into new areas. Maybe have my own weekend adventures. But I will keep you posted. Coz adventures involve money. And money involves a job that does not spell I-N-T-E-R-N-S-H-I-P.

And speaking of internships. Work at LV is the most rewarding experience ever. Because everyday, when i go to work, I feel like I am on the brink of being pushed over an edge. And everyday I come out alive. It's the survival that immerses me in euphoria as soon as the clock strikes 6 (or sometimes 7/7.30). Bottom line my internship gets me out there. And no, I don't get perks or free bags. I just get to work with an awesome team and along side what may be some of the most demanding people I have ever known.

Goodbye world. Sleepy time.
