used to be all about listening to music

now its all about people watching and reading

The type of thinking only a friend can inspire

I've been thinking alot since Nicks call

I called him to find out all the details yesterday.

He is so completely happy.

He also had alot to say about my love life.

Lots of compliments or rather insults towards the latest objects of my affection.

And lots of home truths about and me and relationships.

Damm it sometimes i hate it when friends know you that well.

So unlike me

Tipsy from beer of all things ( i never drink beer)

ears ringing

muscles sore from dancing

but it was a fun day all the same

at rock it

See previous post

Michael thinks that i was so shocked about the news of him getting married because he was one of my backups.

You know if we are both single by age ... then we will get together.

Huh

Not that it matters

But I have other backups

Two

Correction one.

The problem is you make these pledges at a age where you think 30 is old.

Now 30 is not that far away.

Well for my backup friend.

I've got plently of time

right?

Oh my

One of my best friends is getting married.

Hes going to be a father.

I probably shouldn't be shocked by this.

It seems that everyone (friends, cousins) is getting married recently.

And him especially.

We always said he would be the first.

The silly thing is i had to ask who it was?

Since he always has a different girlfriend each time we speak.

He's like a female version of me in so many ways.

So much so that he can get on my nerves.

But i love all the more for it.

I shouldn't be in as much shock over this as i am.

I think its hitter me harder because i'm not there with him to celebrate.

I wasn't there to here how he proposed, any of the planning, or how he felt when he found out that she was pregnant.

I'm not there to go out with all the boys.

And i'm not even sure if i can be back for the wedding.


Congratulations Nick!

A few days later

You know how smokers always want a smoke when they drink.

if there was anyway i could get chocolate right now i would.

I would marry the man/woman that could get me chocolate right now.

I would pay big money for some dark chocolate right at this second.

Never mind that i could just wait till tomorrow.

Yeh i might just have myself a little addiction.

Bloody banana on toast it is

Hmmm.

No what?

Ok i'm going to test my willpower

and attempt to give up sugar at least for a little while

Which unfortunately includes my new found love: chocolate chip ice cream

On the bright side there is no vo cake to tempt me.

I will however need to keep it quiet.

I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago to Michael and he threatened to kick me out.

You see he remembers about a year when the doctor advised me to go off sugar (even fruit juice) how terrible it was or rather i was. I have a fond memory of him getting up at about 2am and rushing to the kitchen to make me banana on toast (the only form is sugar i was allowed) in the hopes of um settling me.

I remember shaking, and maybe some slight irritability.

I also remember that it was pretty bloody hard.

Its the closest to a drug addiction i will ever come.

Wish me luck folks i'm sure i will need it.

I did it

I had heard of people doing it


and i thought why not?


It felt a little bit naughty


it was all gooey


and stuck to the roof of my tongue


but i'm sure i will do it again


I have nothing but praise


for eating Peanut Butter straight from the jar.

Out with the old in with the new

He has been back in the country not much more than 24 hours and there has already been three messages, an attempt at a phone call, and a promise he will call again tommorrow night.

Yet on the other side of the world an old friend has refused to speak to me once again and i've finally gave up trying.

Rest in peace

pal to Marisa

sibling to Mulder

lover of vegan food

Spit in two

I feel like there are two Kristy's

well i'm sure there are many more: its a pretty common name.

No seriously. There is me during the day who runs around, meeting people for lunch, cooking, reading, watching tv and just well living a normal relatively carefree day.

Something seems to happen at night time though, because things start to get a little lonely and i tend to think, over- analyse and contemplate what the hell i am going to do next.

As a result even when i'm sleep deprived i can't seem to sleep til about 1, 2 or lately 3am.

God help me once i start working.

Much more than words

Blushes

Thank you Emma you've made my day!

I want to go see this:

THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES

anyone in HK want to accompany me or am i destined to go by myself?

Ok everything is looking relatively positive for the moment.

So in hopes of capturing the moment i figure i will write about it.

Now nothing major has happened but its the little things like:

I have lunch plans tomorrow with my new veg friends who promise to show me another health food store (a rarity here)

I'm going to a concert tomorrow night (don't really know much about it but still...)

I made this really yummy dinner: i found a new comfort food: peanut pasta.

I was reminded of how amazing of a friend Michael is (big hugs tend to do that).

Erin has internet again: it kind of reminded me that everyone is not that far away. (now if only i could convince more friends to have blogs)

I'm going to Shenzhen (across the border) on sun again and i might even have female company this time. At the very least i won't have a vegetarian bashing like last time (someone trying to start an argument with me about how boring, unhealthy blah blah vegetarianism is).

I printed out a gorgeous photo of my little sis.

I'm so in love with the views out my window.

I continued reading this great book (don't know why i stopped).

I finally drafted a letter (i'm contacting some companies here to find out which products are suitable for vegans on behalf of one of a veg organisation here)

I finally sent a postcard to a friend and birthday card to my grandmother.

The apartment is clean, and has been for a few days straight.

Maybe thats it clean room clean mind...

Nah

It might also have something to do with the fact that i might be coming home for xmas (yippppay)

Now if only my working visa could go through !

Sometimes i feel like my life resemblances George Orwells 1984.

I just feel like shaking people.

I'm just so sick of people not asking questions.

Yes i'm just a tad annoyed today.

Its a conspiracy i tell you.

I live on the 11th floor and yet i've never hopped into the elevator and had someone get off at any of the floors below me.
