My Blue Heaven

Friday funny

Hahahaehaheha..

Am feeling slightly better.. probably due to the lemsip max “dissolve on tongue” powder.. 1000mg of paracetamol straight into the blood stream! You really feel it immediately take effect too. Also been drinking loads of hot honey/lemon.

Good news! Kwai is now flying out with me to Sydney tomorrow! Yay! The advert was cancelled in the end, even though he did get the job. Bit of a relief as trying to book another flight was proving difficult – happy am I! 🙂 Also had a meeting with my line managers today.. the two IT directors. A final catch up before I leave and semi-review of my progress – they said they were very happy with my work. Definitely off the probation period. So doubly happy am I! 🙂

Can’t believe I’ll be on my way in about 24 hrs time.. excited am I! Whee! Man.. gotta start packing!!! This’ll prob be my last post until Sydney… though I might be a geek and post from the airport. Hehe. Ok I’m outie.

Of all the worst possible times…

I’m sick. 🙁 Just a little.. only the beginnings of a cold.. but I can feel that tingly feeling at the back of my throat.. the phlegm beginning to generate… the slight wooziness and tiredness… those tell-tale signs. Arghhhhhhhh…

BUT.. if I blast this cold with every kind of immunity booster.. Vit C, Echinacea, hot honey/lemon drinks, lots and lots of water and fresh fruit, and sleep well tonight….. hopefully I’ll be able to nip it in the bud. But arghhhhhhh… whyyyyy!!!!?!? 🙁

I’m seriously thinking its coz I’m getting old. I got an average of 6-7 hours sleep a night during this week. For some ppl that’s a normal amount – but I just can’t cope with that anymore. I get sick. Plus I went to the gym on wed night. You’d think that would help boost the immune system. But I find when I exert myself lots, and not get enough rest (ie 8 hrs or more).. it’s a recipe for sickness. I eat really heathily too. Fresh fruit (at least 2 pieces) and veges every day. Balanced meals with meat and carbs. No junk. No coffee, not much choc. *sigh* Maybe its stress related. Its been a very stressful 2 weeks for me – everything with KC Actors Studio (lots of things going pear shaped), plus working this full-time job.. Kwai’s problems with lots of things… financial problems.. plus trying to organise things for the trip…

*sigh* I’m so tired.

Pimp your ride?

Check out this car, pimped to the max. Hahah.

Anyways. 3 days until take-off! W00t! Man.. I am so in the School Of I-Don’t-Give-A-Crap right now. I just wanna start my holiday! Getting bored of work.. bug fixing, bug fixing and.. yep.. more bug fixing. *yawn*

I’ve finally gotten around to resurrecting my moblog. Added some pics from the last few months. More to come when I get around to downloading them off my phone. 🙂 Oh yeh, and got some nice Jack Johnson pics to come too.

It was interesting to trawl through my old moblog pics. Gave me flashbacks of the past.. reminding me of life in Sydney. Also.. is it just me, or do I actually look a little, but visibly, older now? It seems like I looked so much younger a mere 2 years back. Aiyah.. how depressing! Or perhaps London has just aged me. 😛

Anyways, I’m off soon to hit the gym.. for my regular wed night pilates class. Plus cardio beforehand on the x-trainer and rowing machine. And then afterwards a good stretch session and methinks I will relax in the sauna.. maybe even take a dip in the pool and jacuzzi. Gonna do the full works tonight! 🙂

4 days until take-off!

Yep! Only 4 days (and counting) till I depart chilly London town and fly half way around the world to sunny Sydney! Whee! 🙂 I’m really looking forward to coming back and seeing everyone again. And soooo looking forward to getting some Aussie sunshine and warmth into me! Not to mention lots of beach action! I don’t care if its not “warm” by aussie standards.. its still probably about 20 degrees warmer than London atm.. and thats good enough for me!! (When is this winter gonna be over already!)

Things are just so busy now. The weekend was … insanely hectic. Holding a stall at an exhibition is A LOT of work!!! Poor Kwai only got an average of 3 hours sleep for the 3 nights. But I think it went well and was very good for KC Actors Studio. We even have more helpers on board to help with the workload.

I met up with Esther on Saturday! It was really nice to catch up with a familiar face from Sydney. We had lunch and then did some shopping. I have pics and a video to show you guys in Sydney. 🙂 I also went for an audition for the Latin Piano course at CityLit. Which was successful. 🙂 So if I choose to enrol, I’ll be starting end of April. My only problem now is I don’t have a piano to practice on. 🙁 And on Sat night we went to the Jack Johnson gig.. which was absolutely awesome! Great performance in typical laidback JJ style. I can’t believe how popular he is now… everyone loves Jack. And I almost touched his hand! He came down to the audience at the front (I was 1 away from the barrier) and hi-fived across our section of the audience before leaving. He was quite interactive with us, occasionally replying to some of the shoutouts from the audience. Afterwards I bought myself another JJ hoodie (so I don’t wear out my white one).. choc brown this time. I love the hoodies. Good quality material and design. 🙂

Kwai is in Budapest now. He’s there from Mon to Thurs getting his teeth fixed. I can’t believe what the dentist in London did to his tooth. He was getting it bleached (coz its a dead tooth – from a martial arts accident when he was a kid) and the dentist fractured it – shattered it all the way down to the bone!!! Now he has to get a metal rod implant and a temporary crown (plus the real crown in 4 months time). Man, the lawyer is gonna have a field day with this one – he’s taking legal action to get compensated for the dentists obvious carelessness. So anyway, the implant is quite expensive (he originally thought he only needed a crown), but its still less than half the price of getting this done in London!!! Even with airfare and accom! Budapest is cheap cheap cheap!!

Also he went for an audition on Friday for an advert. And he got it! (Well.. pencilled in… tbc today.) He’ll be flown to Prague for the filming. Lucky guy. He gets to go to all the cool places. But the bad news is he won’t be departing for Sydney with me, as filming will be 13/14th. He’ll be flying over a bit later in the week. Which means I don’t see him for 2 weeks. 🙁 I was also kinda looking forward to flying out to Sydney with him… u know… planes.. holiday.. exciting.. sharing it with someone you love. Ah well. This acting job is more important.

Anyways, better get cracking with my work! Got a full body exfoliation and detox aromatherapy massage treatment tonight! Yay! 🙂 Sooo in need of some relaxation.

New schtuff

I recently acquired a number of new things. Had a fairly successful shopping expedition last weekend. On Sunday, I spent about 3 hours in Mango – a dangerous place for me! But I made fairly sensible purchases. Bought 2 nice fitting tees (one in black, one in white), this really cool choc tank top – with a loose hanging neckline at the front, but all gauzy material at the back!! Also bought a new pair of dark blue denim jeans (one size smaller than my current pairs.. yay!) – not bootcut this time.. though not skinny leg either.. just in between, quite a nice fit!

On Saturday I only had time to shop in Morgan De Toi – where I bought 2 very nice party tops. One black, with a low v-neckline, and one midnight blue (looks like a tshirt from the front.. but its open at the back.. just ties at the bottom.. very cool!) I’ll have to take pics coz its just too hard to describe in writing.. the designs are too complex. But I just looooove european clothes. The designs are just soo much more interesting and sophisticated. They’re not afraid to dress creatively! I think my faves are french, spanish and italian clothes. Shopping in Europe kicks shopping in Australia.. any day!!!!

Counting down to Sydney!

Anyway.. am doing the count down.. only 1 week and 2 days till we leave for Sydney! I can’t believe its sooo soon! I remember it being months away. Man.. I really need to start thinking about what to pack and what to bring back home. (I have way too much stuff here – need to get rid of some stuff!) Things are gonna be REALLY hectic for the next week.. so much to do… so much to organise. Not to mention work is gonna be mega busy until I leave. 3 weeks is a long time. And Kwai is even busier than me.. KCA Studio is holding a stall at this One Life Live exhibition this weekend for 3 days. (Hopefully we’ll get some much needed signups from this exhibtion). Plus a 3rd KCA Studio course is starting up this Sunday. And then on Monday he’s off to Budapest for 4 days to get his teeth fixed (his dentist fractured his tooth – and he needs a crown not to fix it – yes he’s taking legal action against the surgery!). Apparently Budapest is THE place to go for cheap, top quality dentists.

We’re also going to the Jack Johnson gig this saturday! Yay! Will be good to see him live again. Am really loving his new stuff. The “Curious George” OST is pretty good. Very happy music. 🙂

Just so I can keep myself organised, here’s my calender for the next week and a bit…

Fri 3/3 – Hiphop class
Sat 4/3 – Latin piano audition, meet Esther for lunch, shopping, JJ gig

Man, I think I’m gonna be exhausted by the time I get to Sydney.
