we've come a long, long way together
I'M BACK IN AUCKLAND! hello yummy sushi, hello grainwaves, hello cheapo ipod, hello guacamole, hello cheap booze, hello queenstreet, HELLO NEW APARTMENT AND NEW ROOMIES, hello new shoesies, hello FILM, TV AND MEDIA STUDIES!
the journey here was long, and extremely tiring. i still think cab drivers are some of the most interesting people around. the guy who drove me from jb to changi was a former soldier who was sent to kosovo and bosnia in the early 90's. that was a pretty interesting conversation that helped take my mind off leaving kuching.
unpacking was kinda fun actually. strangely :P why? because with all the bubble wrap i used to protect my oh so precious ornaments it was like unwrapping a gazillion presents for myself from myself. sad eh? :P i dont care. it was also "OH MY SWEATER!" moments that really made it fun.
i'm living with eva, jess, lindsay and jepp. pay close attention to these names as they may pop up often this year.
met hunnie yesterday. MY GOD, GIRL...she lost weight and has a new haircut and looks great. have yet to meet up with sha tho.
these few days have been very hectic. things to settle left, right and center. but all in all i'm glad to be back. and i actually like doing all these things for myself. like choosing the lightbulbs for the lamps i bought. my room light is so dim that i have to buy a study lamp and bedside lamp. and so began the confusion about the wattage and what not. but i got the right bulbs in the end :)
there are some things about this place that i really like and missed.
some leaves have started falling and are decorating the streets. autumn really is creeping in slowly. i miss kuching and people back home. (iain you know i mean you). but i've got so many things to do that keep my mind and time occupied.
must find new job, must do well in school this year. must have fun and travel.
since i came back here i've been doing so much more walking than the whole time i was in kuching. i swear. and if anyone wants to visit me in auckland, i'm warning you now: WE'RE WALKING a LOT. either that or public transport.
will keep y'all posted.
toodles :)
