the Michael Jackson trip

and so i'm back!!!

and yes, as you can see from the title, i will term this trip the Michael Jackson trip - solely for the reason that right from the beginning of the trip to the end of the day, everyday we would hear on the news (Sky News, CNN, whatever local channels) news about Michael Jackson and we were never in any lack whatsoever of the timely updates/gossips. don't get me wrong. i absolutely ADORE (and still adoring) Michael Jackson. i think he's the best dancer ever (not like some wannabe dancer who thinks ballet can be picked up if done intensively. get over yourself already. seriously.) and i love love love his songs. every time i hear 'Smooth Criminal' it always brings back very fun memories (aliP and june should know why), every time i watch his mtv 'Thriller' - something i find oh-so-familiar... (hmmm...) it's really a pity that he couldn't fulfill the final showdown. that would have been awesome and fascinating, not that i had even a millionth chance of going.

but enough on that already. so ANYWAY, my trip was AWESOME. and it ended with a bang by being offered to upgrade to business class, using the full facilities of the lounge and just enjoying business class WITHOUT the business travel for once! more on that later.

i must say, australia just doesn't excite. but other than that, it was a nice, relaxing self-driven trip, just spending quality time together. our service apartment in gold coast was absolutely just lovely. le bf and i had tons of fun playing house. sunshine coast was absolutely just adorable, strolling along the beaches eating our stunningly delicious gelato...

oh i could go on forever, but i really need to repack my life. seriously. the thing i hate most after packing? unpacking. and coming home to seeing 5 new credit cards waiting for you. okay i know. seriously getting out of hand. i just find it much easier to hear the person say, 'we're sending you a credit card with 5 years of annual membership free. you don't need to submit any forms. just mail back a copy of the brochure that we're mailing to you, that's all.'

and that's how i ended up with 5. whatever. still earning the same amount, so i am still not rich.

and i must SO BITCH because i am SO ANGRY that they reduced the pass discount for SK-II from 20% to 10%. -hurls a stream of vulgarities too explicit to be posted- whatever. i am looking for alternative sources of miracle potions. so you can take your discount and STUFF IT IN YOUR FACE. so there.

anyway, i will be back, when i'm finally done with whatever i need to do...
