December & The New Year

Happy NEW freaking Year!

Hope everybody had a good one. Mine was pretty sweet. More on that later with pics.

I've been kicking back in the not-so-sleepy town of KL for the past 3 months and it's been pretty sweet. Doing not much else but eating, drinking copious amounts of alcohol, chilling with friends and family, catching up on stories, being part of new ones.... It's all pretty damn nice.

The whole month of Oct and Nov included alot of caroling practice. We spent 10 days singing from house to house in December... It was really fun and oh so stressful at the same time. I mean, I love singing carols but this group this year made it really hard to enjoy. Until we started getting better... However, I've decided that this year will be my last year of singing with the youth. This year, I might help out my aunt with the little childrens choir. :D

So, right now I'm sick again. I cant stop sneezing and coughing and my head feels like its about to explode with pain. Grrr.. I'm too scared to pull the curtains open for fear of the light that will blind me. Even the little sliver of light that is fighting its way through the blanket of darkness is hurting my eyes. God knows what will happen if I stare at the light head on.

Anyway, I'm in KL for 9 more days. NINE! MORE! DAYS!
Too short to believe actually. I feel like I've done nothing much in the past 3 months and I think it's time for me to move on back to Aussie Land. Find a job that will support me and my expenditures and try and prepare myself for the imminent torture that is University.

Things I will miss when in Melbourne
1. Cheap food, cheap drinks, cheap smokes, cheap everything! Why is everything so freaking cheap here?!
2. Smoking inside places without getting booted, yelled at or fined.
3. Driving really really realllly fast at night by myself.
4. Having my own car
5. The food! Oh the food... where can I find a good roti planta at 3 a.m. in Melbourne? Or just a place thats open for a limau ais? Fuck 24hr McD's. I want a good ol' fashioned mamak. :(
6. My family! Life has been so wonderful knowing that I can just go and drive 10 mins and see my family... my cousins, my aunts, my uncles, my grandmas. They've all been so great and accomodating. I love them all.
7. My dad. I know he should be considered family but he's a special one. I'm going to miss him so much, I know that when I leave my heart is going to break just a little bit more than it's already been broken.
8. My friends. My dear friends, who are all too busy working and having their own lives but still manage to make time to see me whenever they can. I really appreciate how hard it is to do and thank you so much for making the effort.

Alright, I'm gonna go get my lunch sorted. Maybe I'll clean my room while I'm at it.

Love love,
