Fall away.

31 May, the last day of fall, the day before winter. Woke up in the morning at around 9, picked up the guitar, sat in bed, and started some therapy raRrr. Strange and beautiful(aqualung) stuck well, as well as no surprises (RadioH), cayman islands(by kings of convenience), fall for you by secondhand serenade, blower's daughter by DR, and lastly but not leastly, patience, GnR. Cayman islands was especially good for my cold hands that were dead stiff in the freezing morning air. 10 am, and we make distance to Mt. Fields, destination of desire. Mt fields national park houses russell falls, the 3rd waterfall i've visited since arriving from Sg. The waterfall is somehow steeper than the others(that i had visited previously) and it's water seems clearer, cleaner. lovely sights.

We the settled down a picnic/lunch at the benches beside the park. nice~ Roast chicken from coles/Coleslaw/Ham/cheese/mustard/italian bread/sliced loafs/bacon. Hahaha..food in Australia is really gr8! Beverages included apple/cranberry juice/teh-tarik/coffee and of course water. Because of the non-existant breakfast that i had(milk), my stomach was somewhat blackhole, sucking in more than desired! had 3 sandwiches, a fair load of coleslaw, as well as water, juice, and teh! i prolly ate more than i should have cos i felt sooo bloated and sleepy. We then took a drive up to see Lake Dobson. The drive was good as Ken and dad shared some banter..Collingwood vs Hawthorn, Past vs present..I stupidly chipped in that Essondon rocked my socks, who also later in the evening succumbed to Geelong by 64 points(largest i've seen in a year).

On the way up ken's radio played Greenday's 'When september ends', and i feel emo for abit. "Here comes the rain again, falling from the starrrs.. Drenched in my pain again, becoming who we are." I've always believed that experiences, good or bad, happy or sad, show us the way in life. This has always helped be get by and around tough situations but the song kinda brought back some memories of pain~ it was to say the least, painfully refreshing, but i guess i wouldn't have it any other way tsktsk..

At the top of the loooong drive was lovely scenery, and the lake dobson is beautifully placid. Ken goes on to say, when there is snow, the lake freezes and becomes a skiing area, which i doubt. But the trek down to the lake IS called ski-something, and not to mention it was like 3 degrees up there in the mountains. I learnt that wearing 3 layers of t-shirts, and 2 jackets doesn't necessarily get the job done. Yuppers.

After that, we packed up, and headed home warm home. Reached home, played guitar, had a tiff, power nap, and dinner time already? b..b..but..but...i just had lunch didn't i?! OMG It's been like 4 hours and i was still friggin fuLL!! no choice, Blackmans' bay chinese diner called, and i succumbed yet again. Dinner was good, had some tazzie wine with taiji-chong, jiejiekaren and gary, which i found not too much to my liking. I did have a second glass of wine tho, but it was as far as i went. By now i was on the verge of dying cos i was mad bloated. Considering my life, and his car, ken drove ssassa and i home, where i almost choked the toilet, before sharing my pains with the Valencia. Mum then knocks and apparently dad wants to play mahjong. Soon after, dad comes in saying that mum told him I wanted to play mahjong. It's obvious by now that 2 out of the 3 pple involved wanted to play. Ken is always game, and because majority wins, 3 became 4 and i found myself contracted to the table for 2 hours+. Mahjong isn't bad, but i was kinda tired and i was missing cards that i was supposed to 'eat' cos i left my concentration tucked in bed as i made for the MJtable. Surprisingly, i ended up not losing my pants(big problem given how cold it is here), and so here i am, weary and looking forward to where my dreams decide to take me tonight~ Jeanne gets me to load up agneselle and tracyeinny
to help her choose and i think this week all fail..srsly.. Ok..prolly tucking into bed now~ Goodnight. Goodbye to autumn. Tomorrow is a new day, a new season. I pray that everything under the stars and sky today is alright, and sign off with the photo of the day, the reason that i survive the cold. Love.
