My Blue Heaven

It is DONE!!!

ARGHHHH!!!!!!

I’ve just resigned at work. 😀 😀 😀

ARGHHHH!!!!

It went very well, if you’re wondering. A very friendly and amiable parting. I told him that I was going to London, and he encouraged it – said he wishes he could do the same! Hehe. We talked about the admin details (coz I wanna take all my leave before I quit so I get the annual leave loading… haha such a tight-arse asian I am). And yeh, discussed my farewell lunch etc. Oh and best of all, he’s gonna write me a letter of reference, even though my company’s policy is that they don’t do formal letters – with the company letterhead on them, he’ll write me one personally. 🙂

ARGHHHH!!!!

Such a relief and load off my chest. Man. I’m so excited. Or maybe thats just the coffee kicking in. 😛

Phew. Now… next on my plate… really need to get all my crap together and start packing! Only 4 weeks and 4 days to go! I can’t believe this is happening. It’s still all sinking in. ARGHHHHH!!!

[Edit:]
Oh yeh, I’m also gonna be throwing a par-tay. At my place. You’re all invited. 🙂 How does Saturday 30th April sound? Either that or Saturday 23rd April.

YART

Stands for: Yet Another Recycled Thread. Perhaps YARQ would be more appropriate in this case. Yet Another Recycled Quiz. 🙂 But this result did seem kinda scarily accurate.. in parts.

The intelligent loner

You’re shy at times but friendly, and you are never weak and always independent. You are incredibly intelligent (wise beyond your years) and have a talent for many things (sports, music, art). You have a kind and warm personality and enjoy the simple things. Like hanging out with friends and watching movies at home. But your sometimes quiet nature makes you a bit of an outcast and a mystery to people. No matter how pretty you are or smart or athletic, you just can’t seem to break into the crowd and be noticed. Don’t worry, try to be more outgoing and speak out when you have more to say. Don’t hide behind your books and sports and computer, get out there and get noticed. You also have deep desires in life and feel vunerable and alone at times. Don’t feel sad. What helps me to express feelings and dreams that I can’t say to people, is through my writting. Maybe you should try.

What kind of girl are you? (with pix!)

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. 🙂

Emotionally arousing ruminations

I’m standing on a bridge
I’m waiting in the dark
I thought that you’d be here by now
There’s nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I’m listening but there’s no sound

It’s a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won’t you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I, I’m with you
I’m with you

Shirty thy name is Kazzart

Meh. Have been in the shirtiest mood this evening. Not to mention depressed. Maybe tis the miserable weather. Maybe tis the sleep deprivation. Maybe tis the crimson wave. Maybe tis all of them. Who knows… But watch out! She bites! *bares teeth* 😛 Bring on some Radiohead. And Jebediah. And The Cure. And Smashing Pumpkins. And Doves. And Foo Fighters.

…..

*sigh*

Bleh.

Plus near all my friends are abandoning me this weekend. Church ppl are all going on youth houseparty… and some other friends are going to melbourne. *sniff* Heheh.

Nah gives me time to chill, and start cleaning out my room in preparation for the move to London. Only 6 weeks to go! That’s right. I’m counting in weeks now!! Crappity crap its creeping up quickly. (Try saying that quickly 5 times in a row!) I’m feeling a certain mixture of excitement, sadness and “unsurety” (translation: uncertainty :P) about the move. I haven’t been doing much in the way of preparation lately – haven’t even finished my CV, as I’ve still been receiving feedback and making improvements to it. Wotta masterpiece it’s gonna be! But I definitely will attempt to knock over at least a few to-do items during the easter long weekend. Will post an updated to-do list tomorrow. 🙂

So, now that that’s all off my chest… Ima gonna go watch Princess Diaries 2 (again) DVD on my laptop…. in bed. 🙂 Have been thinking about doing this all day. Tis the perfect weather for such relaxing and cozy activities. And methinks some chocolate ice-cream is in order too. Mmmm…. 😀
