Nauseating hopes

So this is my 100th post! Hmm, I guess this is a big milestone, more than my 600th tweet on Twitter.

Anyway, I've been feeling a bit dizzy and nauseous lately; I guess it's from my lack of exercising and I keep eating junk with little to no fruit and vegetable intake. That and lack of caffeine. I realise my body is starting to depend heavily on the stuff now.

Apart from that, it's another 2 weeks till Jakarta. I cannot wait. I'm looking forward to shopping, eating donuts and other junk, more shopping, more eating donuts and other junk and going to the salon to get my hair done and manicure pedicure. Oh, and I think I should make a list of things to eat while I'm there.

I'm serious.

Blogging while away

I think I'm gonna try and update this often when I go to Singapore and Jakarta in 2 weeks. Not that it's gonna be as exciting as a travel blog if one goes to somewhere like Europe or the US, but still. I thought I'd record stuff so when I'm back in Melbourne doing nothing, I can read about the fun again.

Yep, sounds like a plan.

Anyway, saw "Valentino: The Last Emperor" last night. It was an entertaining film, although I still enjoy "The September Issue" a lot more.

2004

This weekend I went back in time and read up on some of the things I wrote during the year 2004. That was actually quite a productive year for me and that's a miracle in itself, since I don't get up to much in my spare time.

Anyway, one of the things I wrote was this story about a band manager and the bands she works with. It's pure crap but I can't help remembering again how inspired I felt when I was writing it. And thanks to that, now I kind of want to write again. I'd love to re-write the whole story again and make it less crap, especially while this inspired feeling is still around. So this is probably going to be my personal project for the next couple of months now.

Oh, it's exciting!

Got myself a pencil case in my favourite colour ever!

It's not important to you, but it's an important milestone for me. The amount of times I've had to scrub off the pen marks on the bottom of my bags due to lack of containment for ink leakage is quite disturbing. Not to mention the inimitable embarrassment of burying my head in my bags looking for that particular Faster pen. Yes, I love my own country's product, so sue me.

Comes thundering in this wicked blue pencil case, and all my problems are solved. Well, not all. I'm yet to clean my black Longchamp bag. Thank God it's black, so the pink/blue/green marks all over its base are not that visible.

Listening to a lot of music right now. Isn't remembering the things you've been wanting to listen to for ages the next best thing to reading a four-digit figure in your paycheck?

Boring old update

Everyone knows that I'm a big fan of Alexa Chung. Everything about her seems so much fun and makes anything else matters less. Something about her carefree, fun-loving outlook that translate into some of the most enjoyable fashion I've seen this decade.

Feeling inspired is an addictive thing; and right now, all I want to do is look back on some of my favourite looks of hers and build my wardrobe like hers. It's so much fun and I can't get enough of it!

Apart from that, the past two days have gotta be some of the coldest weather Melbourne has had in the past 12 months. I'm shaking on my sofa just thinking about it - well, that and the fact that I still need to write up 3 articles for the magazine.

And speaking of the magazine, I'm quitting the job. BECAUSE I GOT A NEW JOB!

Yes, you are now looking at the proud, soon-to-be marketing executive at an up and coming design company. Well, okay, maybe not that prestigious, but it's a new company founded by an acquaintance and he was looking to hire someone to do the marketing, promoting and all that jazz. So I got hired, much thanks to the recommendation of a dear friend. Note to self: gotta treat her to a nice dinner very soon.

Anyhow, I can't wait till I get all my shit organised and go out shopping to celebrate. There may be plenty other things I still worry about, but as I've told B the other day, you gotta stop and smell the roses and be grateful for what you've got so far. Another problem is another day's worry. Please buy me a great pair of shoes if you agree with me.

Golly

Yeeeeeaaaassssss~~~

After much sweat and blood and tears and more sweat, I finally submitted all the articles for Majalah Qita. Now we're just waiting for it to get published. I'm very, very excited to see how this fashion issue will turn out.

I'm thinking to throw a party when the magazine comes out; some kind of a launch party and celebrate.

Next on my to-do list: make the invite to my birthday drinks.

Intermezzo

Arara~

I'm writing up the plot for my novel. I didn't think even writing the plot is already such hard work. No wonder I never finish any of my novels.
