My Blue Heaven

Another day in the life of Kazzart

I’m really loving this older switchfoot song (off the “A Walk To Remember” soundtrack – they played it at the UNSW gig). *sigh*

Hello, good morning, how you do?
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new

So, appologies for not updating in a while. Things have been really hectic for me lately. Work has been mega busy… ugh… so stressful!! I hate doing a project when I have absolutely nfi what I’m doing, and how to use the technology. Meh, anyway, I’ll spare you my rant about work and continue the update on my oh-so thrilling life. 😛 In point form:

• My british passport arrived a few days ago!! Yay! Thats one less thing to worry about now. It was strange… I felt strange holding that british passport in my hand. Just.. this wierdness.. the realisation that my home is also in a place on the other side of the world. Hard to explain… but it just left me feeling a bit displaced.. something to do with my identity I think..
• My CV and cover letter are FINALLY finished!! Yay!! They’ve been sent out with Global Career Link and also uploaded to jobsite.co.uk. I’ve actually had 3 recruitment agents email me so far about job opportunities. And I’ve also applied to a number of web development jobs that seemed to match my skillset. There seem to be heaps of IT web development jobs available in London atm!! So I’m hoping it won’t take me too long secure a job over there!
• I have secured accomodation for my first few weeks over in London! One of my cousins has offered for me to stay with her and her husband in a house in London in sw11, zone 2 of London – which is very close to the city… a nice central location. (I’m actually starting to get familiar with the suburbs over there by studying the tube map and reading books/websites about London.) But I don’t want to impose on their generosity for more than a couple of weeks – so I better find a job asap, otherwise I’ll be living in a hostel for a while.. till I have a steady income and can rent a flat.
• Have been seriously getting ready for the move to London. I’ve started writing a list of things to pack, thinking about and gathering the various documents I’ll need to bring, cleaning my room (well it always needs to be cleaned :p) etc etc. Soon I’ll need to book in appointments for final checkups with doctors, dentists and optomotrists. And cancel any active accounts/memberships I have (eg gym, mobile etc). I’ll also need to get myself a qantas frequent flyers card. Lots to do! Only 5 weeks to go! ARGH!!! I’m pretty excited about going there… its all starting to feel more real now.

Oh and last night I went to the Ben Folds gig at The Metro. It was awesome! He rocks my socks. 🙂 Such inspiring stuff… makes me wish I practised more piano. I also had one of the best spots, 1 row from the very front, the stage – soooo close to Ben Folds. He was literally just a few metres away, and I could see every note he was playing. And guess what…. I FORGOT TO BRING MY CAMERA!!! UGHHH!!! :(((( Ok.. not gonna think about that, otherwise I’m gonna go kick myself… and I already have a bruise on my shin from the hiphop workshop (collision course with another girls ankle bone).

So, apart from all the London stuff… other areas in my life have been undergoing a bit of turmoil. Just… been dealing with a lot of emotional crap from the past. I dunno why it’s all coming up now.. perhaps it is subconciously related to The Big Move. But, its been a struggle… dealing with this stuff… this baggage. Man I’ve packed me some pretty hefty suitcases over the past years. Lots to sort though… and even though I feel like crap at the moment, I will hopefully come out a stronger, wiser person on the other end. *sigh* Its all been rather draining. I tell you what, this trip to London is certainly going to be interesting.

So… now that I’ve gotten this blog update out of the way… onto other important tasks.. like hand washing some new clothes, eating dinner, then just chillin and continuing my journey though Stargate season 5. Sounds like a plan. 🙂

Current listening :: “Learning To Breathe” – Switchfoot

Another song I am appreciating alot at the moment, is “The Sound Of White” by Missy Higgins. The title track off her album. Took me a while to understand the lyrics. Funny how real understanding comes to you after you go through certain things in life.

Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be
What you were, what you were to me in memory
But if I listen to the dark
You’ll embrace me like a star
Envelope me, envelope me
