| the concert was fab. i simply cant describe the energy julian was able to generate. and i guess its true what people say he's hardly sober and its becoming an image for him to come onto stage and perform have drunk. but nevertheless it was an experience not to be forgotten. a chance encounter with the band member especially julian at the bathroom area was amazing. he is just as i imagine he would be like. tall. dark and handsome. haha. not to mention nonchalant. his eyes was mesmerizing yet appear to be so dull. half asleep yet half awake in his state of mind. amazing.
after the whole concert was done. we rushed to the backstage door to just catch a glimpse of them exiting. but after 3 hours of waiting outside in the freezing cold. with hardly anything to keep us warm. we only manage to see julian and his guitarist leave off in a van. what a pity. i guess their just too busy to entertain us poor fans who idolize them and worship them. haha. what a groupie i turned out to be. but hey. they mange to put on a good show so i guess it was worth what i came there for.
but abit dissapointed in their attitudes. unlike eirik of kings of convenience. he was such a gentleman. our conversation during the whole entire night was so special only i can recall it in memory not in words what it feels like to actually meet and talk to the person u idolize and worship. with eirik i was hardly lost for words because he was such a down-to-earth kinda person.
the adventure wasnt over yet. after the ordeal. we had to walk back to the city. gee. come to think of it. if this was malaysia. wouldnt give a two fuck if i didnt have any car to go to a concert. but walking here is a way of life. and im loving it to bits. joachim is rite. but walkin at 2am in the morning was no joke. i was practically shivering to bits and bones. thanks to my excellant navigation to the city. i only have one place in mind. the 24/7 place open at lonsdale street. entering the restaurant was like entering a warm fuzzy place. knowin that we didnt know where to go because our access card only works until 10pm. i called every resource i had. that was able to put us for a nite.
a dear friend of mine came to the rescue. its funny how the people we would actually rely on for help are always the ones who would turn us down. but rather the help of a stranger who would always rescue the day. the apartment was amazing. plasma tv. ikea furniture everywhere. we even gotten the bedroom and the host sleeping outside. how thoughtful isnt it. thank you so much for letting us put up a night >.~ |

| who would have thought a simple gesture such as standin in a crowd of people believing in one purpose would lead us to have a new bunch of friends in melbourne. after a little shopping spree in the city me and ira came across a demonstration on against the bomming of lebanon infront of the state library.
we were actually there to just show our support by sitting on the platform burning candles to keep our fingers warm, but after half an hour sitting on the sidewalk with ira eating ice cream during winter we were approach by a friendly japanese girl who was going on about her opinions about this whole thing.'
but by the end of the conversation not only did we manage be friends with her, she introduced us to a whole new set of people who were activist. so today is a really random thing that turned out good. manage to make a new friend in college. YAY! our first foriegn friend. haha how sad is that.
and the funny thing is that we happen to be in the same faculty, same class for lect. and tutes. not bad huh. its only been near to a month for us being here. stayin far from the city. trying to get along with the people in malaysian hall. so its pretty hectic for us i must say. living in a suitcase is not as easy as it seems. especially when you have 3 huge lugagges to drag around for as long as u dont have a place to call home.
but yea, it has been a productive day today. a stranger complimenting me. branching out socially. meet a new college friend. free food. hope it gets better >.~
oh not to mention. i've already picked up the strokes ticket from zakwan. WooHoo!! |

| it's been so long since i've made any entrees to my blog. but thats only because i found a new passion other then writing (if you know what i mean) and i also found myself occupied with things to settle down. me and ira have pratically survived melbourne without a home for the past 1 month its kinda good because reality sets in and you know how difficuult life can be like especially when you dont have your mommy and daddy to come running to.
infact i love this new feeling. i feel so liberated to be able to finally do things the way i like it to be. no more parental supervision. learning the native tongue and slangs is another barrier to overcome. being away from joachim is also another thing im kinda gettin used to. but not entirely. of course there are lonely nights where i would be wasting my credits away calling him back home.
staying in malaysian hall is also another task i'd like to overcome. more likely to say move out. nothing against the people living in there. i think their superb bunch of group. but i rather have my own space and privacy and being able to do the things i like doin most. without having so much of a thought like 'can i do this or that' whilst in the hall.
ouwh another great thing to happen soon enough this sunday. who would have thought that we finally be gettin to see the strokes live. yeap. oh please people. envy me. hehe. cause they were sold out the minute they open booth. but a really good friend i cant thank enough managed to pull a few strings.
it always happens that way doesnt it people >.~ |
