tuesday 4 jan

had dinner with V in double bay. talked about the old times & my state of mind. V is amazed how optimistic & strong i am. gave V the pressies i been holding on since sep.

wed shopped in broadway for pillows after having coffee with K. K wants to do MD party. i said, count me in. thurs, went to Kpark and took the jeep to an auto electrician. my first time to take the car to a garage. felt great doing that. even also managed to take my return to work plan to my doctor for approval. all is set for me to go back to work it seems. that night, had dinner with J, M & C in chinatown. had passionflower durian ice cream then started to feel the sore throat which would bug me for hte next 4 days. took it easy and worried about whether i would after all that excitement actually make it to my big return to work day on 10 jan. by sunday, i felt okay enough to go to pitt st mall to return the ipod i got fr sis for xmas.

monday 10 jan
day one in the office. lucky P was there. was not particularly excited anymore. i was feeling weak but saw some familiar faces so i lit up. 4 hours wasn’t much so it was cool. lost my office but that wasn’t really too bad. picked the desk/cubicle in front of my boss’ office. after lunching with P, it wasn’t long before home time.

met TRO (the red one) in cirq quay. strolled to bennelong for a sunset coffee and CA stuff. N reported seeing D in the asian section of chatroom again. he he he. confessed TRO of the scary desire in me to be more active in the game esp bbacking. scary stuff really. just like another QAF episode.

to recover from day one at work, went to bondi beach the next day and spent most of the day gazing and psychoanalysing myself. managed to enjoy a typical sydney summer day. glad my return to work plan is gradual.

13 thursday january 2005
another hot sunny day. as arranged with Amy, met about 10am and spent the day together. we went to my favourite sydney places and talked and laughed and giggled a lot. got a bus to the Gap. before having lunch we went on top of the look out just across the bus top. fish chips on Watsons bay, such a perfect sydney summer lunch. we trecked to the south head harbour walk and came across eye candies. sweet and yummy. just before reaching lady bay’s entrance, Amy was kidding but seriously drooling over two rangers. it would have been nice to go to the beach but there was no way i would have gone down to lady bay with someone who knows me. i had been there a couple of years back and loved it. on the way there earlier, one of bus co-passengers was someone who showed me the cave rock secrets of the beach. bussed back to the city where we managed to quickly stroll to AGNSW then martin place for Amy’s mail. and to cap it off, we had passionflower ice cream in darling harbour. Amy was thankful but so was i. had spent the day going to some of my favourite sydney places with a tourist who appreciated it all.

had no inclination to go home at 5pm so went to “the gym”. TBO (the black one) and i called it the gym ever since it opened. we were there after xmas when it first opened, maybe 2001? there were recent improvements. the steam room had blue trimmings and the highest level has a cinema. impressive stuff, even for $17 entrance. great value during buddys nights am sure.

friday of my first week at work and i am keen to party. Lance was no show at the shift at 11pm. so glad C decided to turn up. met A & A. one italian and one aussie. but two previous C tricks. lol. just as i observed from the recent foam party, the scene was impressively more youthful and of asian background. maybe there was a special japan airlines flight too. but ofcourse thai airways had probably the best represetatives. but i am biassed maybe. we were dancing til 3:20 am in stonewall then it was home time for me. early the next day, D surprisingly contacted & invited me for brekkie. it was fun. had a big brekkie at Una’s in Darlinghurst. and then a drive to IKEA. yay! bought the stainless steel glass tile framed halogen floor light. Naoki watched me assemble it later that night.

sunday 16 jan
finally managed to get our act together and the iffy weather didnot stop us. at 10am, we met at the wooloomoolloo gate at the botanical gardens. marie’s family and vi’s family was there. it was fun to see their kids and we chatted heaps. went window shopping afterwards:
