whether there is such a thing or not, i shouldn't care. i'm having some of those roasted ones passed on to me by a good korean friend more than a year ago. tea leaves shouldn't have an expiry, right? the fact that i've been keeping the jar in my office should be a good sign as the place is better ventilated than here. mold is the enemy in this house. until summertime, perhaps.
still recovering from the attacks of the current flu-infested ambience in Sydney. need to be on-guard a hayfever's gonna be taking the spotlight in no time.
managed to grab meself a copy of the week's New Yorker. Thought they come by once in a blue moon but I'm glad my assumptions are wrong. My local newsagent even stocks them. Hooray! Threw in Marie Claire Aussie and Vogue UK in my purchase pile, too. Hoarding magazines again.
Moved offices yday. Cna't believe I'm moving offices again in approximately 18 days. Bigger move then. But at least I won't have to pack. We'll be on the 26th floor come monday, with the usual harbour view replaced by the mid-section of the old KPMG building, among others.
As I always say, change is good.
Looking forward to visits from friends based overseas, the circus, dances and plays.

eye spyin', i spyin'
the FENDI spy bag/
went by the Fendi corner at DJs today to check out the goodies. nah, I don't like 'em anymore.
Angus&Robertson/
bought my english book plus a watercolour one. getting a palette later on. my paints are almost 5 years old and i haven't even opened a tube!
vego lunch/
green gourmet ain't so bad. i still can't be vegetarian, though. meat's just too yummy to give up on and i need all that variety.
chatty/
bought a belt due to my work one being MIA for a while. thought it ended up in mom's suitcase but doesn't look like it. oh well.
saw superman returns, mainly nice due to the sydney scenes. how biased!
met up with Joy and Andrew for dinner at chatswood bbq king, one of Rosie's faves.
argh. i wish it's only Friday today!

surge of emotions
finally dropped the bomb at work.
can't help feeling emotional.
somehow i'm fond of short chapters.
glad casey got a new job, too. i'm as happy for him as i am for meself.
one last assignment for the journ class. it's more a revision than an actual write-from-scratch piece. relatively positive feedback for my kinda crappy cupcake draft. i hope it ain't just about being encouraging.
plan of action should be put in place.
i'm tired.

Another one of those turning points
I have constantly stuffed things up for myself. This is something I will only allow myself to say of me. Should someone else utter those words...
I tripped going down the stairs yesterday and ended up with a really sore littlest toe. As to whatever is it's current fate, I do not have the slightest idea. Fingers (and toes) crossed, the pain will go away pronto. *ouch*
Had Joy's bday bash at a restaurant called Fu Manchu in Darlinghurst. I 'decided' to take the Kings Cross bus and again was faced with the confusing instersection with about 6-10 streets to pick from around where the big Coke sign is.
The restaurant was pretty cool. Funky chinese with communal dining tables. Food was good, the servings just right (in a sense that you don't get so sick of anything so you kinda want more.. but for next time).
Headed to Passion Flower for dessert (whatever that means).
Might be starting a new chapter in about a month. Will blog (or blab) about it more when details are confirmed. Wesley Mission's International Congregation decided to film the Sunday services and I'm in! Woohoo! Exciting, exciting!
What's next?

His Master's Voice
after two years of waiting, i FINALLY got to be a part of the Hillsong conference tv crew. my initial attempt seemed successful until the rosters came out. i did get some sorta thank you certificate afterwards, though.
did a lot of kidsongs, which was fun and interesting. and really, more often than not, there are pearls of wisdom hidden within such simple words and messages.
i'm glad i volunteered. i almost did not volunteer. the atmosphere's incredible.
i made a couple of boo boos at work that exploded last week, while i was away. thank goodness for the timing. it's all good now. i was a wreck on monday but everything's been restored.
blessings in disguise still came my way via priceless life lessons.

Merriam-Webster: my new best friend
one last assignment to go! i don't have a particularly good feeling going with this one as it requires some sort of an interview. i've got prospects, heaps of ideas but darn... not enough time.
my prospect of being a contributor for a broadsheet fell through the crack. lucky my course lecturer's being ultra encouraging just when i started wondering whether i have what it takes to be a writer.
long way to go but it does look promising. maybe i am cut out to be one of those 'writers-on-the-side' after all.
the job that puts food on the table gets more and more 'ugh' each day. i admit it's a psychological factor more than just the job itself. i interpret things a different way from how my peers would. that's me, alright. mum would know.
4 days off next week! yaay! i can pretend to be carefree and just immerse myself in the conference.
