Being a spoilt kid again

Yea I feel like a spoilt kid all over again. I've been pampering myself with some pretty expensive stuff, namely my rims and my wakeboard.

I actually blew $2.3K of my pay this month just on luxuries, so I would say I am pretty broke. And it doesn't help that I just got retrenched, like, 3 days ago. So that makes me REALLY broke for the coming weeks. But do I really care? No! Okay, maybe a bit, but all in all, I would say I am still in pretty good spirits for someone who just lost his job. Why, I do not really know. I've changed since I came back from Australia, since I got over her, that I do know. Its like the first breath of fresh air you take after you almost drown. Breathing is normal and all, but once you lose that for so long, that first breath is such a relief, such a rush. And that is what I'm feeling now. I am high on life itself. Everything I want to do, I'll do it. Because worrying and thinking too much wasn't getting me anywhere. I asked a random girl for her number for the first time in my life last month(yes, its very surprising but true. I have never dared to). Sam was right, what did I have to lose? So I just asked, and I got it. Wasn't that hard, was it? I gained confidence, I asked another girl a few weeks later. I got rejected, but in the end, I could say I can pat myself on the back and told myself  'I tried', and I would rather that than asking myself what if I had tried, or why I wasn't confident enough too. I also went on the cable park for the first time ever. I had always wanted to try it, but didn't dare to. I was afraid to fall flat on my face, I was afraid of all the people looking at me. But this time, I just went ahead anyways.

And it felt good.

It feels good to conquer these fears, it feels good to be living my life. This is who I am. Because I am the kind who believes that your life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the times which took your breath away. Because I am the one standing on the edge of the cliff in Albany because its just too damn awesome. That's why this month I will do everything Kelvin Lee wants, for he has been gone too long, and I miss him so. This month I will continue to spoil him, to make him happy. I'm not gonna lose him again.

But next month onwards, you better start finding a job, you bum!

Wakeboard and roof rack!

I finally got around to installing my roof rack a while back. And I got it for a measly $33! Its a bloody steal, considering that the bloody Thules and Yakimas cost between $300 to $XXX. And for all intents and purposes, my el cheapo roof rack actually serves its purpose well enough for me. But its cheap, and its from China, so obviously there were some fitment and quality issues, but nothing a bit of cursing and swearing and cutting and hammering wouldn't solve!

So voila, my not-very-aesthetically-pleasing roof rack is up. And to cover up its ugliness and china-ness, I slapped my awesome $800 wakeboard on it before I took a photo. NICE, RIGHT? Yes, I know I have a lot of space behind to put my wakeboard, but I don't want the wood to get wet everytime I come back from a wakeboarding session, hence the roof rack.

Ok la, I shall admit. The main reason for the roof rack is because..... I JUST THINK IT LOOKS VERY NICE. Like all sporty and wakeboarder-dude and all. I think it just makes the whole van look more outdoor-ish and fun. Yes I am very vain, and that was a very poor attempt at describing the look, but you get the point! And at least my vainity is justified, so just shut it and swoon at my $33 China roof rack muahahaha.

Australia

Australia Australia, you never fail to blow me away and render me breath taken wit your supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-ness (yes, this word exists!) More on this next time as well, tata!

Intermission

Been away from here for far too long! It either means I've died or am keeping really busy. Well I am typing this now so its obviously not the former. So yes, I've been busy. Wakeboarding, cars, friends, work, businesses, Australia. Been too busy to really come here and write something. In a way, it's good, because this blog has kind of been an outlet for my emotions, but recently I have been feeling mostly nothing but happy. I've found myself again (:

But more on that next time, I will find a day to catch up on my life on this blog, but for now, I just have to share this. Presenting, the most awesome cooking show in this galaxy, Steven Reed!

Applause, ladies and gents, applause!
