happy belated new years. ..

i'm not a new years person and luckily neither is ben, so i don't get dragged along somewhere. especially this year since it was raining with the prospect of cancelled fireworks due to lightning storms. i have never gone out anywhere to do something 'exciting and fun' for new years while living in melbourne, it's also a mix of that i'm not much of a crowd person (unless it's a music festival of sorts because you can't get yelled at for shoving people out of the way and there's no prams).

so ben and i stayed at home and watched some films. more exciting then new years for 2007 when i was reading a magazine at home. i've celebrated more new years in brisbane with fireworks while living in melbourne, then i have actually in melbourne. but the storm this new years was nice. it was amazing having the cool change after a 30-something degree day. then when it started raining it was like ice and i had to retire inside. where it was STILL hot and had to keep the portable air con on. insane. brick houses need to learn to expel their heat.

while i was happily snapping the clouds, one particular photo freaked me out. especially since it was only visible via camera lense and not my real eyes.

you can see that right. creepy isn't it.

now onto serious two thousand ten stuffs. two oh oh nine is over and i'm glad. it didn't really being me much in forms of life altering experiences. i'm also not that fond of saying that the new year will hopefully bring me something, blah blah, because it's not like 2010 has a completely different agenda or formula for the human life. in a way it's what we make of it and i'm not really giving myself much of a headstart with such cynicism. i also don't make resolutions. i have a hard time keeping promises to ben, why would i do it for myself. i'm also a firm believer of not making promises if i know i have the chance of not doing so. it's a form of lieing. the one thing i hope 2010 brings me is a new house to live in. who do i write to for that? new years needs to have some sort of mascot. christmas has santa, easter has the bunny.

"dear 2010 fairy,

i believe i have been fairly good, in some sorts. please bring me a new house for me to scatter my clutter in more spaces.

thank you very muchly."

speaking of, i need to sleep. i'm making phone calls tomorrow for inspections for said new house.

may 2010 bring you happiness and etc.
