Ben's Celebration Dinner
After weeks of busyness, we finally celebrated Ben's win at Melba Brasserie:
Mum - posing with her water!
Dad eating some indian curry stuff!
Hmmm...can't quite remember what this was...but it was good!
I made it myself - srawberries smothered in chocolate and whipped cream...mmm!!
Mum trying to take a picture of a by-now, very un-natural me and Ben!
The Family - minus the all-important me!

On the move
2 steps forward, 1 step back
Half a step forward, half a step back
1 step forward, countless steps back...
On one hand, its good that theres movement
On the other - is it still good if movement is backwards?

Nostalgia...
M & D: Spring, St Kilda pier...juice and Big M's in hand...
J: "Blue" karaoke, bed jumping, photos and videos
K: Nepean country club, all day and all night spas, plastic cups, big clean-ups!
S & M: Long and dreaded airport rides followed by silent conversations in Princes Park...
A: Law library, coloured post-it notes, sushi and KFC...falling up the stairs, smuggling chocolate...toilet spying!
D: Moomba rides, no shoes, queues, game after game and still no prize
E: Red convertible, starbursts, gelati, study breaks...
J: Car talks, toblerone cheesecake, lazy afternoons...
L: Make-do toilets and Melway reading in-abilities!
However, its not the activity, place, weather or even the food that makes those times special - its the conversation, laughing, crying and sharing that occupy a special and unforgettable place in my heart.

Vince = 21
Vincent Kim Khaw,
HAPPY 21st!
Hope you had a "memorable" one and are on the road to recovery! :) Yes – they got you bad – BUT...it could have been a lot worse and you know it! :)
Hope this next year blows you away. May it be one of un-countable miracles and fulfilled dreams. Enjoy the moments as you continue to be yourself and do what you do best. You're in a God-destined place now – "my utmost for His highest" ok?!
P.S. "Crash" or "not crash", told you I would be there!
P.P.S. Can't believe the whole "Jon Wee" thing still comes up! Its funny! :)

Hes on the lookout - for me
Its been one full year since I made the decision to do something about where I was. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but it had to be done. I had been in the same place for way too long. 23 years.
I didn't really think it through at the time...it had been a long time coming. It was just a matter of when I would get up and move – not go with the flow and ride the waves, but dive...down...deep. I still remember those words – vaguely, but the message was clear...
Only later did the magnitude of what I was about to do sink in...the risks, the sacrifices, the people, the place - but I made a choice.
One year on, my life is different. I'm not saying its "good" different or "bad" different – its just...different...
Theres still that little part of me that wonders if I'm doing the right thing...if I've made the right decision...if I should give it more time...Maybe its in my blood to ask questions...to challenge...to be satisfied and at ease and at rest only when I'm sure. But the thing is, theres something reassuring me that its all ok...that wherever I am and whatever I'm doing, it'll be fine.
And thats enough for me.

Shout Outs
A: I'm glad we did dinner on Saturday night and ok yes, I believe you now – kinda...I think...no, no – I do! You know what else I figured? 1 hour to eat my pizza means it took you 1 hour to eat your dessert! So what do you have to say to that?! :)
A: So...verdict? Going? Staying? Still undecided? I think we need a JAL meetup...
J: You're not a "new friend-er"...you're an "OLD friend-er" ! "Whatever" to what anyone else says! So...Friday?!
N: So its confirmed confirmed now yeah?! I still think Cambodia for RM$400 is a good option – but I was thinking about it – maybe theres an ulterior motive for you going to Hong Kong? Like maybe a certain...Koa?! Just maybe...?!
N: Its funny how we both know our hypotheticals are not hypotheticals, yet pretend that they are! So is there gonna be a new hypothetical in relation to Saturday?! I'm waiting!
M: I miss you! Hope the Indian curry isn't causing too much trouble! Counting down the days to December 8!
M: thanks for always being so ready to here me out. Truth is I still don't know whats going on – rock and a hard place squeezing me tighter and tighter.

Random Ramblings
1) Even 50-year-old women's legs look totally toned in heels – those things work wonders.
2) I don't think you really know what love is when you're 17 – waiting another few years won't kill you. Really – it won't. Don't rush into things. You have a whole life ahead of you. I know we always think we know better, but often, we don't. (In response to last night's today tonight story).
3) I think about you - and the rest - every time I pass by the Melburnian - its just a fleeting thought, but a thought nonetheless.
4) I don't think my mind is playing mind games but someone else does.
5) 2 worlds have collided – I'm not sure if it's a good thing. I'm leaning more towards not.
6) I'm trying to save - that means no shopping...its Hard(with a "capital H"!)
7) It hurts when I hear stuff going around. But I can't stop it.
8) I thought I found someone to replace you, but I was wrong. No-one will ever be able to.
9) I need to start getting my butt into action: theres mail to be sorted, bills to be paid, forms to complete and a healthy eating book to be read.
10) I can't believe you're thinking of leaving - yet I don't know why I can't believe it. Its weird.
11) I'm over it – I really am. Its hard. I want to give up. But for some reason, its just not that easy. And I don't know if its the right thing to do. Its the easy way out – or so I've been told.
12) How do you let someone down – gently? Big disappointment or small disappointment, its still a disappointment.
13) I still can't believe my spaghetti sauce ended up as spaghetti soup – well actually, I can. So much for my bright idea!
14) I want to travel, see the world, get out there. For some reason I think it will satisfy.
15) My L'Occitane hand cream is making a really good make-do body cream.
16) Saying you'll do something and actually doing it are two completely different things.
17) I don’t know why but for the past few years I've always felt this way around this time.
18) I quite like the pink caps on the Mount Franklin bottles...
19) Bus drivers can really make my morning!
20) Total sucker for guys who dress "prepp-ily" – hmm...is that even a word?!
21) Lipton JASMINE green tea is a lot better than their "normal" green tea
22) I really do feel bare without my rings...should I buy another?
23) Tall, skinny, chai lattes - mmmm...raspberry muffins from Mrs. Fields...mmmm mmmm (thats a double mmmm!)
24) I'm feeling "comfy" at work today - flats and a warm jumper! This is the way it should be!
