First for food, people and poems

Dearest of friends,

3rd of January- Aaron and I decided to escape our daily routines at Camberwell/Glenny/Knox, and decided to eat at a new resturant. We went to Cafe Lagom on Glenferrie Road. It was a pleasant surprised. I hardly say I really like something and I really liked Cafe Lagom. The staff were lovely, warm and casual and not overly obsessive on the customers. The food comprising of some interesting dishes such as mushrooms on a cheesy omelette for entre was mouth watering. It was buy one and get one free pasta night on sunday, so the asianess in me went for that one. The linguini was yummmm. The coffee was also really good, unlike the brown water they serve at Glenny. Overall, it was definately a brilliant "first time" cafe experience.



4th of January - Back into my work routine of insanely early mornings (well for me) and late nights, was not overly adventurous today. I discovered the band "nevershoutnever" on youtube. He is an youtube sensation and has now recorded some stuff. Just a young guy, making music for other people to enjoy. I must say, his music isn't really something I would listen to over and over again, but I do enjoy how unique it is. I like "Trouble", it is awesome. Please go listen to that song.

5th of January - The area I live is very quiet, seldom do you see a person walking on the street. Today, I went for a walk at 8pm for the first time. It is a bit late for my usual walks. Oh wow, there they all were, walking the streets with the rest of their families, women pushing prams and dads taking their sons out for a game of cricket. People walking their dogs. Hot guys jogging shirtless. I couldn't believe my eyes. *kindly reminder to oneself - 8pm is now my new walking time".

6th of January - I went to see the movie "Bright Star" tonight. As some of you may know, it is a movie about a real romance poet called John Keats. He wrote some of the most beautiful poems, and he wrote them in such a short time. He died at the age of 25. It is a romantic story, I must admit, I didn't really understand some of the poems, but I could still appreciate the film nevetheless.

Welcome to 2010!

Dearest friends,


I have been really bad with updating you on my new things for the day. Another year has gone by. What have we achieved? Have you done anything memorable? Think think. Man that makes me sad. I really haven't done anything life changing.



There are a couple of things that I am really glad I did:
- Marathon with Leanne
- doing Vac work at EY

Tell me about what you did on Christmas Day and New Years eve?

For New Years eve, it was so much fun. My friends and I booked a hotel room near the city, and ended up drinking lots and playing a few rounds of UNO and Twister. I would upload some photos from it later. I dunno why, but from all that and jumping around, I ended up with bruises all over my back and legs.

So on to my new things:

1st of January 2010:
- I watched Jane Eyre. This is a Charlotte Bronte book, which was made into a movie. It was so sad. Especially when Mr Rochester told Jane "say it Jane, say that you will take my name". I literally sobbed.

2nd of January 2010:
- I am going to a club called Eve. I have never been there, but I am going to go for a friend's birthday. I hope I will enjoy it, sometimes I make up my mind that I won't like something, and then not try to have fun all night.

I have to constantly remind myself why I atarted "a new thing a day" agenda. The reason is that I find myself stuck in my comfort zone, doing what I always do every day. So I am trying to be less afraid, trying out new things and making new friends. You guys should do it too! Maybe we motivate eachother!

There are so many things I want to do, but don't because I am afraid or I can't be bothered, so I need to constantly remind myself:


Happy New Year my lovelies!
