In midst of packing; losing my ultimate packing list and finding it again was cause for headless panic on a Sunday afternoon. Winter is probably my most dreaded season; the art of layering has always eluded the me who finds amusement in building my outfits around the first item of clothing I come across in the mornings. Perhaps I shall use my scarves as an anchor. I dislike the cold very much. Despite my packing list comprising mainly of boring sweaters and jackets it doesn’t detract from the warm fuzzy feeling that you’re about to embark on trip. Except this one will be different. I’ve never really traveled in a group before, and I can’t help but wonder what it’s like not being solo for once.

Made pasta bake for lunch today. I miss cranking up the oven and cooking at home on weekends. Haven’t really had a good cooking session in a while - funny what makes me tick these days. I am excited, more than anything, about the thought of cooking with uncle Tony in his kitchen.

Been super busy at work, meaning to post these up for a while. RWMF is crazy fun, if you haven’t been I suggest you find a bunch of crazy people and book right now! Most of the acts were really good, Huun Huur Tu and Malerija blew us away on Saturday night for their closing set. Local group Aseana Percussion Unit were also fabulous - I never thought I’d be singing along to Burung Kakak Tua in a crowd of 15,000 but it happened! Fabulous company, good music and endless supply of beer from Tommy.. what more could we have asked for? Well except that our MAS flights were delayed both ways.. pfft.

Haven’t been in Kuching in years so it was nice to make a return trip there. Wish we had more time to spend in the city :)

Some friends of mine are organising a charity fundraiser at the zoo on August 11th - please help spread the word and support this awesome project. More details here :)

Recovering from a rather eventful weekend compared to the last few. We went zorbing on Saturday and at night JUICE celebrated its 5th birthday with super fun rock theme! We love dressing up.. although I didn’t quite go in theme in anticipation of a wedding dinner we were attending before the party. Some lucky ass walked away with a RM30,000 stay at Huvafen Fushi! Am sure the pictures from the party will find their way here soon. Right before the party Nik and I had dinner at Ozeki in the building next to Poppy where the JUICE party was and this is probably the real reason I’m blogging - Ozeki’s Volcano Roll is to die for. Like, seriously. So good that I forgot to take a picture of it.. Nik says that’s a good reason to go back there again. I think he is genius.

I’ve been thinking of it on an hourly basis since Saturday night.. good games.
