It was an unusual Wednesday when I woke up to gloomy weather. It rained for the first time since I touched down here in Melbourne. Not knowing if it was a good or bad thing, I proceeded to cleaning myself up before working on the assignment. Seconds later, came the unexpected phone call from my mom. I knew it wasn’t good especially during morning. I came to know about the passing of my grandpa.

The news hit me so sudden, it took me quite some time to register the fact that I actually lost both grandpas’ within the same year. And now the sore is sinking in, I can’t help but to feel miserably sad because I couldn’t be there to see him off.

Though I’m glad I paid you a visit on the day I flew off, I dread the fact that I will never be able to see you again. I’m so sorry, Rest in peace :’)

Fondly remember and dearly missed..

Your grandchild.

Tuchi tuchi tuchi tuchi tuchi…. *fades into background*

Just when you thought having to snap pictures of party-goers is fun, NO IT’S NOT! But then again, it all depends on where and who you’re working for. I can’t say much but at least my effort does pay off in a reasonable amount, for now. I just don’t like the feeling when someone blatantly tells you off instead of nicely rejecting my kind offer to take their pictures.

The only reason why I’m holding on to the job, besides the pay of course!
They were the ones who requested for a picture taken together with me, by the way!
Friendly chaps, they are! And probably made my night less miserable too!

Now, where are those photogenic(optional) camwhores! They need more people like me! GAH!

Internet here has been such a bitch since yonks ago.. Takes me forever to upload pictures! As much as I would love to update everyone on what I had been pretty much up to, I just can’t seem to blog without the presence of pictures. Patience is virtue! I have yet to retrieve any of the pictures taken by Ada during my birthday dinner at Oriental Spoon though. Chill!

The infamous ABC drink, which we so gladly turned into a custom birthday drink.
Angels must be watching over me for I was still standing towards the end of the night.

*ABC = Absinth (60% alc.) + Bacardi 151 (75.5% alc.) + Chartreuse (50% alc.)

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WELL WISHINGS AND POSTS ON RESPECTIVE BLOGS!

Will come up with a post birthday entry as soon as possible, ay?

Have a nice weekend!
