<3

Count your blessings everyday. Yknow every time I touchdown from the aeroplane to a whole new country, there's this euphoria that hits me reminding me that I have the best job in the world. 

As I scroll through my Instagram feed, I feel so blessed. One day I'm in Japan slurping up a ramen, then I'm in Moscow, taking in the magnificent onion architecture of St. Basil's cathedral, and on another, I appear in Munich having beers and taking a day trip to neighbour Austria. 

Indefinitely, it's not always rainbows and butterflies, I'm an emotional wreck when I load my luggage in the cab and make my way to the airport (every fucking time), because in the past I never figured that truly home is where the heart is and leaving your loved ones behind is a hella shitty feeling. 

Right now, I'm in my room in Auckland. You heard me right, I've just been here two flights ago and this is my third New Zealand flight this month! Turning into a kiwi crew. But this standby pattern is perfect for the sick me, with a non-stop hit mucus flowing nose. By the way, I found the address of my fav phô stall here so I'mma run there later during my non-standby hours. Yay! 

& recently, I'm tempted to own a pandora. I always told myself, no no no. Honestly not a fan of the bracelet but kill me before I go crazy on the charms. I tot know which ones I need!!! & then I'll think of Swarovski jewellery, a lovely new MacBook, and a good audio technica/beats earpiece. These are the tops in my wish list at the moment. & I NEED TO STOP SPENDING LIKE NO BOD BIZ. 

&&& I also needa eat healthy. I gained so much weight it's not funny! I never realised till my mom pointed out to me the amount of meats (I love steak you see), and seafood and high blood/cholesterol food. So I gotta control for not only the weight but for my health as a whole. "If it flabs, it's fats." Mantra from annoying and not-helping-because-he-is-so-fit-I-look-bad-next-to-him Beeb. :B 

On another note, I think it's really important to be humble in life. I sincerely look up to people like that. 

Post script: I miss you dearest Mama and I hope you feel it :(

Aloha! I'm currently in my room in Auckland, snuggling under my bed sheets and just finished watching Dark Shadows on sky movies. Haribo gummies accompanying me. 

In my hotel room since I have standby to fulfil and pretty bummed because I can't leave the room/sightsee. :( Many say it's boring here but I crave for adventures and have so many places I'd love to explore in Auckland... One being the waitomo caves! 

Was looking forward to this trip despite the standby pattern all because of my fav Vietnamese phô noodles. But guess whut, they just had to take my home away from home. The food court the stall was at freaking closed down. I felt so lost. Tried burger fuel in the end. One thing about flying is that it makes me treasure Chinese food. Sometimes when I'm outstation, all I want is a warm bowl of a soupy dish like bar chor mee, or something singaporean like chicken rice, laksa, etc it just warms me up inside. 

Standby isn't too bad actually. I thought I'd be mad bored but I haven't even touched my laptop which I brought over (had planned to do insanity) but I guess catching up on sleep feels like a better deal. :B 

It's winter here so the sun sets pretty early. I like it when it's summer, so I get longer days... So my agenda later would be to get manuka honey, grab dinner, do a foot mask and sleep for flight tmrw!

G'bye!
