Half day trip- Canberra

Flew to Canberra this morning on an ATR-72 Virgin Australia plane.

It's my first time to be on a mini plane like this. Was feeling quite excited haha. 

With my new 5s, I have this passbook app so I checked in online last night and had my electronic pass ready on my phone. 

I proceeded straight to the gate and upon boarding, I only had to handover my phone, proudly, to the staff for her to scan. Not sure if she noticed its a two day old 5s! My baby! 

Though it's a small plane, the seats were quite spacious. Two seats on each side. I got the window seat so I was able to capture a video when the plane took off! So cool. Always like the thrust and the take off. 

Was a bit surprised with the complimentary snack, as I thought its just a short trip and they wouldn't bother to serve food. 

Had a 'moosli' and a cup of coffee. 

The Malaysian high commision was quite efficient. Had what I wanted done in twenty mins and walked a bit along the parks and lakes. Took some photos bit they weren't much really in Canberra. 

Took a bus back to Sydney. It was a three and a half hour ride. 

A 'smooth' trip but I was really tired by the time I got home. 

Pictures taken with 5s. This post is written in the iOS blogger app too.

      Haha, yes the sky here is always so blue! Probably because australia is relatively remote, away from all other countries

My Progress So Far

In my previous post, I made a list of the things that I wanted to do, in order for me to start thinking and feeling positively. I have moved into this brand new studio apartment. I have also been cooking up a storm. I could now simply heat up my food when I get home from work, without having to rely on expensive take-away meals. However, I haven't been able to tick off items 3-5 yet. The apartment could be tidier. I have no one to invite over for meals. And lastly, item number 5, I don't think it will ever happen. Couple of weeks ago, after moving in, I texted Jay. I asked if it was possible to have a conversation. I told him I wasn't being emotional, I simply wanted to talk. He declined. And my last text to him was: "I have given you 10 months". Recently, on Facebook, I discovered videos made by a lady called Xandra Ooi which I found highly helpful and inspirational. She would end each video with ".... be happy, always". Her ideas made tota...

Not sensitive

I am feeling annoyed for no real reason. Actually it's since last night. I was dismayed by his lack of sensitivity and reciprocation. How could he just leave like that. I know it was late, but honestly i felt a bit degraded. Should I tell him? But how? Perhaps it's just a one-off and hence it's not necessary to bring it up unless he repeats it? He probably didn't realise I feel offended, and am still feeling the resentment. He is usually sensitive but why? What's worse is that he probably thinks I am fine and did not even call me until I did so this afternoon. Well I told you I got to do my readings in the afternoon, but you could still ask me out for dinner. Totally not in the mood to do anything. It is tormenting having to guess what the other person is thinking/doing/feeling. I need a stress ball or a punching bag right now!

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did ...
