Blog neglect.

One of the worst things a person could do in the world. Well… Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration. But, once you miss an important blog post (for example a trip to America) it is so easy to get lazy, making tougher and tougher to write an interesting and relevant blog post.

Since the above has clearly happened to me (my last blog post was in November! and my trip to America was in October!) I’m going to have to cheat and split my blog about my trip to America into three different blog posts.

Places.

Food.

Blizzcon.

Alright. Time to get this blog back into shape!!

I took some photos from Van’s Birthday Night Out and I really like how they’ve turned out. Maybe it’s because of my hipster friends LOL.

Last year my friend Jas got me a book of goals for my birthday. The point being that the book was meant to help me achieve my goals and dreams. She pre filled out some of the goals for me and I thought it would be a good idea to share them and my progress.

The book:

 

Personal Development:

Goal: BE A MAN!

I think I’ve achieved one of the steps… Well I’d like to think I have improved at opening doors for girls. So I guess I only have two more steps to achieve and if I keep achieving them at this rate (one a year) I’ll be a man by the age of 24. I’m cool with that. I think…

Family & Relationships:

Goal: Get the Super Girlfriend.

Okay there are no steps this time. So I guess I can use that as an excuse as why I haven’t achieved this goal yet. (So basically I’m blaming Jasmine).

Finance & Career:

Goal: Become a Pro Programmer

Okay, no excuses for this one… It’s not like I’m not practicing. It’s just really hard. Haha.

Health & Fitness:

Goal: Get a Singlet Body

This one sucks. “What is holding me back? What obstacles am I facing?” J wrote: “My asian genetics” But in reply to that I got to say that Nam is asian and he can wear them! I think I sense some sort of unfair bias here…

The first time I heard Death Cab For Cutie was in a friend’s car one night on the way home from work. I Will Follow You Into The Dark was playing through the stereo and I sat in silence. Listening. Amazed.

I can’t remember whether that was the first time I heard them, or whether if I Will Follow You Into The Dark was the first song I ever heard. But one thing I do remember is that ever since then, I could not stop listening to this band.

Through the years, I have attached a lot of memories to each and every song. Both good and bad. And then something strange happened.

One day, sometime last year or maybe the year before. I tried to listen to Death Cab but I found myself no longer able to enjoy the music the way I used to. Everytime I tried, it felt empty and dry.

And so I stopped.

Last week Sydney was attacked by beautiful weather, so Nn and I decided to make the most of it by going to the Entrance.

Driving involved: Yelling. Singing. Panicking. And Scissors Paper Rock fights.

Note to self: More Blink is required in future road trips.

And when we got there:

We found an empty beach and decided to take hipster photos and I learnt that I only THOUGHT I could do cart wheels.

We found a boat hire place and went kanuuing (canoeing). Left. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right. Stop!!! Left! Left! LEFT! Okay. Left. Right. Left. Right.

We fed the pelicans.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Trips like these are the best.
