Man. It's been ages, hasn't it. I am getting to the point where I can't really be stuffed about this whole blogging thing already. But this little baby of mine is already a little over three years old now. That's a long way from those days of old when I babbled on incessantly over my daily rituals, movies I want to watch, the perils of living under your parents' roof and rules, stresses that come with college life, IH, and living and fending for yourself in big ole Melbourne.
Well, I'm still in Melbourne but that's about all that remains the same really. I am a full fledged graduate now and have entered into the ranks of the unemployed. Well partially employed still I suppose but I am still on the lookout for a permanent paying job to support myself now that I got this degree here.
In the meantime, I've been doing all the things that I won't be able to do once I start working. That means more responsibility and work related stresses now instead of the usual tutorials and lectures to endure that are now in the past.
So a new chapter in life begins and of course I'll attempt to record them here as best as I can. It's been a kinda interesting and sometimes rough and patchy times in 2007 and here's to a better and more fulfilling 2008.
In other related boring news, I am half shopped out as most of my allowance and hard earned part time job money went to a brand new pair of red Steve Madden heels, a new pair of strappy Ipanema Gisele Bundchen thongs, two necklaces from Diva for less than ten dollars, some Country Road goodies, and the odd wide waisted belts or two (or three). And a new bag when mom was here. I am absolutely in love with Steve Madden shoes, heels, and almost anything footwear related with that brand ever since I got my first pair of black flatties several months ago in New York. That's Boxing Day in Melbourne for you.
The Melbourne summer is just one word: H. O. T. Really hot. Dry and hot that you do not want to get out of the comforts of air-conditioning at all hot. I can't imagine how I'd be doing when I get back to humid KL. It'll be a different kind of sweat and heat that's for sure.
Oh did I mention that we got an actual TV in the apartment now? It's cool and sleek and keeps the boredom at bay at night and in the afternoon when I've got to chill and get inside out of the sun and heat.
On top of that, I have to admit that I am kinda into getting into Gossip Girl now albeit my previous dispositions and avoiding the show because I hated the one book from the series that I had the misfortune to read that I wanted to gouge my eyes out when I finished it. The TV series actually does a bitchier and dare I say it, a more well rounded interpretation of the spoiled brats Upper East Side New York scene than the author of the book series could ever try to do. It's not uncommon for me to hate a book as much as this but yes the experience of reading that one book was enough to avoid this show until I was so damn bored to have nothing else to watch.
That's all for now. Up next week, I'll be cleaning up the apartment from carpet to counter tops and stove tops before a day of maddening packing and then whisking myself away to KL wonderland.
XOXO
