Packing

It feels rather strange that I’m flying off in less than a week. In 6 days I’ll be in the sunny tropics of Malaysia. I’ve begun packing my bags to go back and so far I’m looking at less than half a suitcase full to bring back. I’m barely bringing clothes back just cause I want to buy stuff to bring back. Most of the things in my bag are for gifts to friends, family and neighbours. I’d put up pictures, but I’m trying as much as I can to clean my house first before doing anything else apart from packing.

I’ve got a rent inspection due the week I’m away and I’m wanting to keep the place looking spick and span so I’m in full cleaning mode. I guess I’ve lost my blogging mojo of late, but there are so many things on my to-do list that blogging keeps getting pushed lower and lower down my list each time. I promise I’ll blog more when I’m in Malaysia. With pictures as there is unlimited Internet there. Teehee.

When its too warm to go outside to meet up with friends or shop, I’ll be sitting at home blogging and taking pictures. I’m really looking forward to going back and eating. Be prepared for lots and lots of pictures of food!! I’m going to be maximising my camera and taking loads of pictures of everything and everyone. I’m expecting to be maxing out my memory card when I’m there too.

Note to self: Buy car charger for Nokia phone and Gorilla pod for camera.

Short Update

Hello everybody! Yes, I do know I’ve been MIA for so long, nobody misses me anymore

Yes, I have moved and survived the move. I’m in the midst of unpacking, yes I know I own a lot of junk and have been systematically getting rid of things so there is a big improvement. I’m going to be spending the rest of the month organising things and then packing to go back to Malaysia.

I’ve just put a bottle of blonde hair dye into my hair tonight. I know it won’t turn out blonde but I was aiming for light brown so we’ll see how it goes in sunlight tomorrow. I’m a bit zonked cause I’ve had a long day and driving back and forth to Rockingham (1 hour+ each way cause of the rain and traffic) and we went back there again just now for more clients. So if you hear me act like a bogan or talk like a bogan, you’ll know why.

Well, the update for today is that I managed to get soaking wet going to Rockingham, which is definitely my least favourite place in the world at the moment. I get out of the car and it decides to bucket down and there were huge puddles of water (I’m not joking, I’m talking like about 1 inch deep puddles) and I managed to get soaked. My pants were dripping wet from knees to foot, jacket was drenched and I was wearing a thin shirt. Not the best idea in that kind of weather. The weather is bloody weird, its supposed to be end of spring and it just buckets down! And it was freezing too. Walking around in wet clothes is probably the worst feeling. I guess I’ll definitely be packing lots of extra clothing in my car from now on.

Anyways, today is a pretty good day apart from that. I guess I found out things about myself that I have forgotten, like how I used to be a control freak and have finally given in to the fact that I can’t control every aspect of my life and to take things as they come along. I guess I’m finally coming to grips that I can’t control everything and things will just have to be the way it is and that I shouldn’t obsessing over my future and the way things in life work. Live and let live.

Me thinks I need a holiday. 16 days and I’m off!! Now, to find someone who is willing to drop me to the airport. Please?? Pretty pretty please?
