Happy Valentine's Day~!
Also, belated Birthday wishes go out to xswindz, mainichi_muri and insane_desire. Hope you guys had tons of fun and love on your special day. ♥

Finally, two weeks after I'm back in Oz, I've managed to get myself together and write up a post. But I'm back and with a vengence! It's taken me two days but I have totally revamped my LJ. With the exception of my LJ header, I've changed my layout (autumnjaide), redone my usericons and actually filled in my profile (for the first time in my 2.5 year LJ history ). Profile header was a pressie from kirei_kisetsu, thanks Belle! ♥ Also, in a fit of frustration I bought 6 months of paid time. There's a few kinks I can't seem to work out with my layout but I've given up trying.

My trip was great, I just love travelling so much. I still haven't gotten asagao_blossoms photos off her yet, but she's coming over tomorrow so I shall probably up them in a couple of days or so. Chinese New Year in Hong Kong just has so much atmosphere, it was great. We went to the CNY fair at Victoria Gardens and it was so nuts, met some awesome nice people too. I'll probably write a proper writeup of the trip (once I figure out how I want to organise stuff, I'm thinking of making a comm, any ideas people?). Flew home with asagao_blossoms while the rest of the family flew to Vietnam for 10 days. And just my luck, I come back smack in the middle of the worst heat wave Melb's ever seen. Landed at 7.30am and the captain announces that ground temperature was already 31C (88F). Melbourne had 4 consecutive days of 43C (110F) days and an entire week of nothing below 30 which then peaked at 46C (115F). I nearly died, I hate hot weather with a vengence.

I'm dead beat so I'm off to bed. Sorry for such a content lacking post. This is more to say "I'm alive and back on LJ" more than anything. I will slowly (read: excruciatingly painfully) go back and try to reply/comment. But bear with me people, there's a lot. Hope everyone is doing well. ♥

Welcome back lovey~! And from that 46 degree heat came the worst bushfire incident. I feel helpless knowing that I'm here having fun. When I see reports of the bushfires here.. it makes me not want to come home.

And I really don't want to go home. I really want to stay here now. Like.. everything is here. Sapporo felt like I was coming home again D:

But in the end, I do miss everyone. Can't wait to see you when I get back... Has YesAsia announced the Arashi 2008 Around Asia tour yet?! D:

xox

Thank you hun, you're so active on LJ despite being in Japan. It's amazing. :D

Yeah the bushfires are really scary and terrifying. I'm here and I feel just as helpless. ;_;

I can totally understand how you feel about Japan. It's a pity you do have to return though. I wish we could all stay in Japan too. xD

I can't wait to see you too. :) Lol yeah i think it has been announced, if you didn't already know that already. <3

Hahaha I reckon xD But I guess from this coming Friday I won't be as active as I have been cuz we'll be in a hotel til departure. D:

About Japan.. I'm definitely considering moving in 2011 with Emma cuz well.. the fact that I don't want to leave.. <<; Working here would be so much fun. And at least I don't have to rush anymore.. in regards to getting around.

I still want to go all these places.. not sure if I'll have time at this rate D:

WELCOME BACK! :D Looking forward to seeing photo's from your trip, seems like you had fun :D
ahh the weather lately has been strange D: It didn't get as hot as Victoria here but we spent only a weekend with temperatures in the 40's and now it's been sooooo cold all week it's like 19-20 degrees. So weird! XD;
Oh and Happy Valentines Day ♥

THANK YOU! It's good to be back, even though I'm lazier than ever to LJ.

Australian weather is just weird, I think that sums up everything quite accurately. >.<;

Thank you. ♥

Okaeri and happy belated valentines!!!

The new layout is really nice! it's always filled with happy/bright colors^^

Ehm, instead of a community you could always write about your trip in a diary form (day 1, day2 etc)... ^^;;

I heard from my cousins that lives where u live about the terribly warm weather and all the fires. Hope the weather will get better very soon!! *hugs*

Thank you!! ♥ For the wishes and the compliment. :D
I like colours, so I try to incorporate it alot. Colours make me happy. :D

Ooh that sounds good. I may make a giant post or two in diary style with photos. May take a couple of days to write up though. Look forward to it 'kay? ^_~

I hope so too. The weather was just really bad. *hugsback*
