New beginnings
Sunday, January 21, 2007
I've been busy with renovations around the house ever since getting back from Melbourne. It's the second time I've gone down there and it was a nice change. It does feel good to be breezing along on your own lane instead of fighting with the cars next to you. But the only shopping I did was window shopping 'cos I sure didn't have the money for those fancy boutiques. Sheesh.
I also went to Phillip Island and saw 4000+ seals during a cruise. The brochure wasn't lying. There were literally that many and it was amazing, despite having my nose violated with their very pungent smell. Imagine 4000+ bottles of fish sauce opened up right in front of your nostrils.
My bathroom finally got its very much anticipated makeover for the new year thanks to my very handy uncle and his posse of semi-professional Vietnamese tradesmen who are lazy bludgers and diverge from the job by going swimming instead of tiling the joint. They pulled through in the end and it looks pretty good.
Before and afters.
Kit also installed new shelves for my room to give my poor bookshelf a rest since it was giving way to all the crap I had managed to squish into it. But it seems that every time I get new forms of storage in my room, I just find myself filling up the new space and I'm back to square one. But they are spunky shelves I must admit. Observe:
I moved all the shit from my bookshelf. Now the shelves are packed.
After these past few weeks of renovations, I think I'm growing a dick because Bunnings Warehouse is my new favourite hang out.

Farewell 2006

Good bye my sweetheart,
For now our paths must part;
See you at the start,
For you're always in my heart.
*Dedicated to my long-time lover, Melody. I'll miss you.
It's been a crazy season. Farewell 2006. I love you all. Thank you for all the good times.
