a dreary day on the Gold Coast

it's a hopelessly grey day outside...the only ray of sunshine i can see is a long way off on the horizon. it's uncharacteristically freezing cold too. so much for sunny queensland...

anyway, for those i haven't already told, i lost my treasured motorola razr :'( yes, it was only 3 months old (this was back in april) and u can't find that blue colour here in oz too!! so i replaced it with an o2 atom which was outrageously expensive and from there followed a whole string of bad luck. i wasn't particularly impressed either. although the month of may brought along with it lots of parties - why did everyone have to turn 21 then??

also on the list of things that are bugging me include the fact that my hair isn't growing and i'm itching to cut it again.

however, on my mind at the moment is what i will be doing next year!?!?! i'll be (finally) graduating in december and after my trip to singapore (the first in 5 years, mind you) i had decided to go back there to work instead of the large country town they call brisbane. so having not applied to any graduate positions in oz, i was spared the rejection letters or even a non-reply. i guess most of my friends just assumed it was a phase i was going through when i said i was taking off for singapore at the end of the year (or some other place, kindda like an anywhere-but-here thing) but now that i'm starting to think abt job applications in foreign lands, they're all trying to provide an incentive for me to stay. and mel definitely doesn't want me to leave her here. thing is, i'm actually considering staying. or at least get a job in sydney or melbourne. but i do want to go back to a city that never sleeps, yummy food at any time of the day, become a workaholic and earn shitloads of money. but then i don't really know anyone in singapore...yeah sure i still have relatives and family friends but no good friends like i do here. it may actually be really depressingly lonely for me over there. so the ultimate question is: am i brave enough to start over in a foreign place??

i don't know. *sigh*
