Two more days in the land down under.

I'm back from Apollo Bay and I think I'm catching a cold. I've been sneezing. And I have a major headache now.

Tomorrow night will be our last night in our humble abode. When I say "humble abode", I really mean it. It's a one room unit, as in the whole thing, is one room.

We never took pictures of the place. Procrastination, my best friend. I'm going to miss this place and how it always smells of whatever we had for dinner.

I'm going to miss my shrine, my lovely book mountain.

I'm going to miss having that picture of Boromir right beside where I put my head when I sleep.

I'm going to miss my cousin.

I'll miss my roomie, I suppose. But I'm gonna see her half the year each year anyway so that's okay.

And then there's that plan we have...


P.S. I just realized how bad my counting is.

I can count the days on one hand.

Addie's back home for what, 2 weeks now? Sam left today and Jean's in Apollo bay. I'm alone. MUAHAHAHAHAHA.

I didn't do very adventurous things though. In fact, I did quite the opposite. I called Jon and begged that he have me over at their place. There I helped Auntie Poh Im decorate scone baskets. After which I helped her make wantons. I now know the secret. :)

She, of course, cooked up a lovely meal. My reward. I'm so easy to buy. Just promise me dinner.

I just realised, the feeling of Christmas and the feeling of home are both very similar. I've been feeling them both, which is a very very potent feeling.

I don't want to die either. Not yet. Maybe when I start becoming a liability to the world. As of now, I feel that I have much to offer. SO HELLO WORLD! Achtung!

If I could die today, I wouldn't want to.

Now, that's change.

It seems I've lost all track of time. Today is Wednesday? I had no idea.

So Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. That's six seven days. By next Thursday, Kris and I will be home.

Damn!

I woke up early this morning. By early, I mean about eleven. I changed into my bathers, in case it gets sunny later. And then I vacuumed the floor and took in the laundry.

I had breakfast--egg tart and juice (with whiskey). Then I made cupcakes, all by myself. I used to think that I couldn't follow recipes but I've come to realize that cooking is chemistry in action.

So when I cook I just pretend that I'm in the lab doing an experiment and it all goes well.

Then I had a cup of coffee while watching Ed Wood, which I think is gonna be one of my inspirations. It's not my new Amelie but it's filed under "Things that Keep Me Going", together with things like How I Write:The Secret Lives of Authors and my Jane Austen box set.

Off to read now!! A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.

I've been told too often that I live in a fantastical world. Maybe that's why I'm such a skeptic.
