I like change. At least I tend to look forward to change. With anxiety, of course, which I get some kind of thrill out of. Call me insane. A lot of people already have.
Closing yet another chapter to one's life was unexpectedly filled with such sorrow one cannot even begin to describe. There was the hope for a better chapter, at the same time the longing for the familiar.
People are reshuffling. It was just high time I make a move myself. I left with good memories of ye olde workplace. I miss them a lot.
I never thought I would but I sincerely do.

Who is Sue Ling?
One of the Sunday arvos I went to church, there was a bent old Asian guy who approached me as I stood behind one of the pews, grabbed my arm and went "Are you Sue Ling?"
"No," I gently replied in between songs.
After my turn at the communion table, I walked past the line of church-goers waiting for their turn. Same old man grabbed my hand and went "Are you Sue Ling?"
Not quite deja vu. More like he was probably really old to have remembered that he asked the same person the same question twice. There was probably a good one hour gap between the scenarios.
He was a quaint tiny old man, with a seemingly permanent smile plastered on his face. I saw a bit of gold glistening as he spoke and paused with a grin.

counting down to SPRING!!!
flowers are blooming... purple, fuschia and pink.
I remember an ex-President of the nation joke whereby Mr. Then-Action-Star-Now-Prez was asked what his fave colour is.
"Fuschia," he said.
"Can you spell it?"
"I changed my mind," decided the Prez, "it's red!"
I've got a few countdowns in my head. I wonder whether the knowledge that my JPM days are numbered (8 working days as of press time) make me view the JPM world in rose-coloured glasses. Maybe part of the reasoning behind would include wanting to depart only with good memories. Thus the adage "the good old days."
Saw this kewl simple-o black shirt from Beach Culture while I sneaked out from work.. It's got funky NYC lights on it (nothing overly flash to remind u of Las Vegas). The label? Zoo York!
Ack! Less than a month before I turn 1-year + a-quarter-of-a-century old! Planning smomething small. About 12 pax. Think..think..think.
Quick run-down of my fun (despite being sick!) week nights...
Tue - My Super Ex-Girlfriend [movie!] with Amy
silly funny movie. good one for unwinding after a hard day's work (yeah, right!)
Wed- dinner @ Zia Pina [italian nosh down The Rocks]
Origami [contempo ballet] @ The Sydney Opera House
(I can just hear the orchestra play!) with Leanne
interesting mix of body movements, sound + silence, animation and lights. disliked the paper-folding bits but absolutely loved the ballet! contemporary (includes traditional sounds with a twist!) and classic tunes made danceable. animated mt. fuji erruption, godzilla munching on melbourne and the sydney harbour bridge!
Thu - dinner - Pancakes @ The Rocks with Joy + Amy
The Umbilical Bros [comedy show!] @ The Sydney Theatre Co
with Joy, Amy + Casey
now this IS laugh-out-loud funny! love the video camera + projector bits! creativity to the max!
Fun! Fun! Fun!

"Me and My New Yorker"
I am so sick. Can't believe it. It's been a week. No defenses. I've been a fragile little life form roaming around the flu-infested, not to mention soon-to-be-hayfever-infested, world.Dang.Searched the world for a copy of The New Yorker! And for a while I've been thinking that perhaps I was lucky that one instant and the newsagent at Wynyard just happened to stock that particular issue.Went by my friendly neighborhood newsagent and decided to ask if they have it and they do! It's just been hiding among the Time, Fortune, Forbes , BRW magazines all this time!!!The mag is too smart for me. Oh I bought Marie Claire Aussie and Vogue UK, too. Bliss...Nuts....
