Melbourne.

Got to Perth on Monday.

Got diagnosed with a viral infection on Tuesday.

Was sick as a dog on Wednesday.

Got to Melbourne on Thursday. Today.

I was welcomed into this great city by one of the most beautiful sunrises. Magnificent. Brett and I sang along to Jay-Z vs Linkin Park on the way home.

I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one // hit me

My room has this great smell. I don’t know what it is… but it’s so comforting. I never noticed it before. This whole house has a great smell.

On a completely different note:
It really bugs me how Gavin DeGraw holds back on his album. He can sing so much better. It makes him sound like a second rate artist. Grrr.

RIP

I still resent you for leaving me.

Mum vs Dad.

My father can’t sleep with too much noise around him but my mother likes to listen to the radio before going to bed.

My mother can’t sleep if the light is on but my father likes to read for half an hour before going to bed.

You think that after 26 years of marriage, there would be some mutual understanding between them about it, but they still argue and grumble at each other every night.

It’s so cute.

Just watched Alien Vs Predator again – this time with my dad.

Dad: What are all those flying things?
Jen: Uh.. that’s snow, Dad.
Dad: … oh.

Thank You.

We all may have many complaints about the way things are going in our own little worlds, but I thank every volunteer from the bottom of this heart of mine for your help in my broken country.

Goodbye Evenstar.

I went to a wedding yesterday.

But I don’t want to talk about that right now because…

I lost my Evenstar pendant 🙁

Happy New Year.

It’s 12.36am now and I just finished having a shower. The hotel has a band and dj playing until the wee hours of the morning but I thought I’d call it a night. The band counted down 5 minutes early! We were making our way down to the pool where the festivities were being held and the singer started to count down. We weren’t too happy about that but hey.. what can you do huh?

Hehe. They’re playing ‘Jump Around’ by House of Pain right now. I fucking love this song.

“I came to get down… I came to get down.. so get out your seat and jump around…”

What are some memorable moments of 2004?
 – I finished  2 songs and recorded one of them.
 – I recorded a cover.
 – Falling in lust. 
 – Making it through 2 weddings.
 – Getting a tattoo.
 – I got my very first paying job.
 – Getting an operation.
 – And today, I went parasailing for the very first time.

So Happy New Year everyone. I hope your 2005 will be filled with love, joy, hope and countless blessings.

Dear God.

Am I not allowed to doubt Your existence when something like this has happened to a country already riddled with turmoil? My country?

I sit here drinking rosehip tea in a swanky hotel while thousands upon thousands have lost everything dear to them. And yes, I am so very grateful for all of my countless blessings. But I don’t understand this. I wish I could be like my sisters who say, “There is a reason for everything. When God closes a door, He opened a window” but I don’t see the silver lining in this. I don’t see the good that can come out of such tragedy. All those innocent children. All the homes.

I’m so mad at You right now. I don’t think I want to talk to You for a while.

Please Help!
