dum dee da.

the other day in the midst of our rabid planning for the trip, i popped my head out of my room and announced to my mum in the living room that, "i'm very happy." later on she told me she'd never heard me say that before.

it's been such a refreshing change to have someone else plan/ research/ book everything. and know that that person also has the same tastes/ expectations as me. usually i don't let people plan/ book because i am wary that they won't know what i like/ want. not in this case.

this is what we've got for our beach/ coastal weekend. no that's not the sea that's a RIVER! which you can swim/ fish in and mr kibs has told me there are no crocodiles :/ hahahaah.

and this is what it is close to. um the sea, and the lighthouse by the sea. which has a delightful tea place close by which hassssss.......... SCONES!!!!!!!! hahaahahaha.

:D :D :D excitedddd. and the reason why i am blogging is cuz i realized that there's only 1 more sunday to go! 2 sundays from now i'll be waking up in melbourne! ohhh happy times.

yesterday we started chatting from the time i woke up at 10ish in the morning till about 9 at night. non- stop. hahahahaha. today he said hi at 9ish but i was still fast asleep and only replied at 1, by which time he was getting ready to leave to meet his friends. i felt sad for a while, but i figured it's just as well or i would not get anything else done today. haha. my point is, it is ridiculous the amount of time we spent chatting.

and i think it's the megalong chats with him that makes me feel comfortable enough to travel to another country just to see him, even though technically we've only spent a couple of days actually together. but it's in these marathon gtalk sessions that we really got to know each other, sharing everything from our childhood days to uni days to family life to dreams and secrets. in fact it's even in these chats with him that i've learned more about myself, things i never knew about myself.

if there's one thing i absolutely adore about this man is how he makes me laugh/ smile every day, without fail. even today, despite the 5- minute- long "hi- omg i just woke up- i'm going out now" chat, he'd send me a link of talking cats that cracked me up. when i am feeling meh about work or life, he'd say something totally disarming that immediately makes me smile.

for the briefest moment, i felt a need to apologize to you readers if i am excessively fawning over this man. but then i figured what the hell. i am finally happy and this blog is to remember what makes me happy. so there it is. there are other things of course, like staying in bed for almost the whole day, buying new bedsheets and finishing marking, but right now this man ranks pretty high up the making- me- happy list.

we held hands on december 11th and i just realized i will fly to meet him on the 11th as well. 3 months exactly! hahaha how serendipitous. hopefully i won't be detained/ deported whatever. CHOY. though i did give the aussie consulate MUCH GRIEF when he was detained in istanbul, so they just might seek revenge. ha.

i am super looking forward to the shopping as well. bridge road! $10 everything! DFO! and good noms everywhere! also looking forward to taking photos with him, think he's gonna rock up with his film slr camera. sweet. also bringing lomo, hopefully i get to pop by luna park. i can already picture a few shots in my head. WHEE!

my mum is outside watching some food/ travel show about... australia. hahahaha. entire household gone oz it seems.

okay just off the top of my head, things i wanna see/ do/ eat. do let me know if i've missed anything!

luna park
bridge road shopping
DFO shopping
moomba festival
moonlight cinema
st kilda/ acland st cakes!
degraves street

plenty of walks in the park :)

okay la i think that's about enough for 6 days. fellow melbourne fans, do let me know if i missed anything! 2 days will be spent at aireys inlet, a pitstop along the great ocean road. we still haven't decided if we wanna just hang around aireys or do the coastal drive. i guess we'll see how the weather is as well.

exciting times await. meanwhile, 12 days, 13 hours, 39 minutes and 5 seconds till i see him again :))
