places

so a lady on the bus on the way to dublin airport asked me where i was from.
good question.
my parents are from hong kong & singapore.
i was born in melbourne, australia.
i now live in brisbane, australia.
but i'm studying in nottingham, england.
so what does that make me?


i am starting to see the affect of gen-y's & their travel. i alone, know at least 10 people from australia in europe at the moment. everyone is constantly jetsetting - & through the aid of lamespace/blogs/email/skype - frankly it doesn't really matter. in some cases, i am speaking to some people more since i got here...now how does that make sense?

lazy wednesday

i must admit, it has been a while since i have had a wednesday night in. & tonight, i have achieved a lot - & it's only 9.30 (half nine, as they say in the united kingdom). 


facebook/youtube is being incredibly unkind & not letting me upload videos. i have hours & hours of entertaining video that should be released into the dangerous world wide web (even if it comes back to bite on the bum years later). i officially give up!


my dear friend sam is coming to nottingham next weekend for a visit & his 20th birthday. it should be fun.

mr. nate, nice boy

monash university's brand spanking new archdes building:

i am quite enjoying the simple forms of the walls vs. the plain, bold colours (which define the different working spaces) check this month's aa, i am extremely jealous - zelman cowen refurb, you have big shoes to fill!

mr. nate is a nice boy, indeed. after painstakingly streaming the latest episode of gossip girl (best episode yet, may i add) - don't worry, no spoilers - i am now exhausted, behind in uni work, hungry, yet happy i just successfully wasted the last two hours of my life.

i am sadly becoming a slave to technology...social networking, blogs, informationinformationinformation. what happened to having one email address...one place you check for correspondence to the outside world. diversity has taken over, a facebook for photos and friends, a lookbook for fashion, a blogspot for thoughts, a twitter for stalking, an ebay for buying and selling, an email each for personal, work and university. make it stop! tear yourself away from the computer and breathe the outside air. conversation (real conversation...not that shit we call facebook chat/msn/text message/skype); birthday parties; laughter - that, my friends, is what life is made up of.

i am excited for the weekend...it should indeed be a messy one. with everyone having such a busy lifestyle - go go go - time is precious and it should be spent wisely. an example of wisely spent time would involve getting ridiculously blind with your closest friends when you have an assignment due the next week. speaking of ridiculously blind - splendour 2009 soon. get planning, party people. the flaming lips await. but zzz time for now.
