• reminisce

  What is this elusive nap thing? I remember I hated it as a kid, loved it as a young adult and now I seem to have lost it now & can’t find it anywhere…?  I don’t sleep well lately:/ I’ve been pondering on things, with the job offer at the hair saloon. I’ve actually turned down their offer after giving it much thought.

  I still got a fair bit of savings left and also i did save quite a fair bit in HK and  been kind of sneaky and applied for jobs in Japan, HK and Taiwan close-by. Martin lives in Japan and works for Rakuten. I should prob inquire more and Japan does sounds like such a lovely country to work in and i know some of my course  mates from there..

  I don’t think, i’d ever go back into hotels tho.. St Regis was the last hotel i worked in but i don’t think, i’d ever wanna go back to the hotel industry again.. I also miss Perth, maybe not as much as before but there are still regrets. That damn visa thing will prob be my biggest regret and giving up on hospitality prob another, i could have gone far, even my boss in Perth had said that, i don’t take opportunities when they come.. I know, Anton meant well, and i still think he’s such an amazing boss.

  Come to think of it,  I should have just applied for the visa under the de facto scheme with Ron since we were already living together, i was just elusive and also somehow, i figured, if we broke up, there might be implications and i didn’t want to depend on him and with him being from Pakistan , that might also take a longer process.. I would still be living in Perth had i just applied it under that visa and i prob might be living in Straya for good now.

  I miss everyone  in Perth and the memories of everyone in it. I’m missing those times, and i’m also grateful and thankful for everything else that i have going on now… I miss Sanga. My South African bro from uni. So thankful and glad, he lived close during all that stress with the landlord who had a rat in his house, I could  comfortably hang out at his place, with unkempt hair bed hair sometimes without makeup talking bout work, lecturers. he was also the one who taught me to drive when i bought my first car, A green Honda and he’ such a joker and excellent in impersonating people. I really miss him a lot!!! Apparently he’s now the front office manager at the Rydges, he’s come such a long way from cookery to management.. .

  I also miss my Korean  course mates, wow that’s so random. I miss Cheryl heaps and she’s now doing a 10 days trip around Europe with her brother and would  be meeting her family in Israel later during the week for another tour and then she’d be in Singapore for Angie’s wedding.. and then off to the US of A for some more travelling and thn back to Perth or Taiwan. I am sooo envious!

  Fucks sake, i’m already 30! I don’t mind never ever being married because i know, i can’t be like Sim, living the ideal ‘tai tai’ life, cos when she thought hard if she could give up on the lifestyle she had, if she settled on her then bf, she’d not be able to live in a bigger apartment and without a masseuse on a weekly basis to come over, she broke off the relationship for good and agreed to a man that her mom had picked in India.. An older guy, who’s really awesome, happens to be an intellectual who has written some books and had majored in political science and she’s now  blissfully married, and settled in India and she travels all around the world wherever her husband goes.

  I don’t think, i’d be genuinely fulfilled, if it was me or even if my husband buys me designer wear and all that glitz, i don’t think, i’d be that contented, i dunno, it does sound nice. Anyway, she’s always been the princessy type and just as well..

  Just a wee bit sad, that we all not as tight as we were, we were the best of friends… I guess, that’s just how life is.

  Everyone’s going places. I don’t want to live with anymore regrets.

   

  (One of the first few places i lived in when i moved to the city)

  

  I miss everyone here and that’s Sanga.  Picty taken by Tobsin, my mate from uni at my place at the backyard after a couple of shots before heeding out to the clubs and his ex gf there next to me.. We don’t keep in touch anymore, it’s a bit sad. Rach in the left is married now with twins..  She and Sanga are prob the only ones,  i’m still in touch with despite the distance

   

  Off  to bed now,  in my shortest, naughtiest Jammies because NO-ONE IS AROUND TO JUDGE ME,  and well.. cos I just got sprung when i tried to sneak in to the kitchen pantsless for some cookies, Meh…

  I miss living on my own and having my own place

  

   

  Night love bugs, whoever who’s still left on Xanga. I think, i’ll continue to blog on here often.

  xoxo
