Taking Five

With a few clicks, i lost a few thousand bucks and would eventually go on to lose more. But it was ohsofrigginworthit.

After thinking about it since January 2008 and really thinking about it since late 2009, i finally decided to do it. I bought a return ticket to Brisbane for a 10-day long escape. Initially, i was worried about spending that much money on a place that i've already been to. I could have visited Eun-hae in Korea, Sue in Hong Kong or Yumiko in Japan but I couldn't resist the temptation of going back to a place where some of the best moments of my 20-something life were lived.

The trip came at a really good time too because a couple of weeks before my departure, i wasn't feeling too good about myself. I felt like a total failure and things between my mom and I weren't that fine and dandy. A certain issue was making me feel like i was a worthless piece of crap. I really wanted to talk about it but didn't know how to bring it up to my friends here. I didn't want people to go "Aiyah, never mind lah" because i cannot not mind it. It was definitely getting to my head.

So off i went for a much-needed holiday on June 30 which included a really comforting lunch where i finally got that issue off my chest. Thanks, you two! *Gives you a giant-bigger-than-the-biggest-planet hug* (Note the rainbow in the picture on the right!)

Okay, enough with the soap opera. On to a few random pictures i like that do not fit into any of the Brissy-related posts i am planning to write.
