By the time i managed to pass out it was inching towards 5.30am. I'm not sure what i managed to occupy my time with but i spent a few hours cruising online and briefly chatting with some people.
So by the time i opened my eyes, i noticed it was past lunch and H+K were already at work. So i peeled myself off their "super red comfy couch" and figured i'd make an effort to go into the city and browse for a bit. It was 3.30pm by the time i was out the door and remembering that stores in this country close at 5.30pm, meant there wasn't much time left.
And yes, i am slightly crippled because my muscles on my right foot and shin area are still painful. It makes speed walking across pedestrian crossing a challenge. Hoping that if i massage my arch of my foot and front of my leg, it will help in the healing process.
So i ended up at JB Hi-Fi because the CDs are cheaper and was near to where i was at the time. Had a quick browse and got a copy of GENERATIONEXT: House 2 Hard VOL 2 which includes 3 CDs mixed by Jeremy J [electro/house], Dr. Willis + Scott Alert [electro/techno and Nik Fish [Hard house]. I haven't had a proper listen so i can't comment about them.
Then had a browse through Myer, they had renovated their basement. It now targets the young and brands such as Miss Shop, Revival, Dangerfield, Mossimo etc are all there. Figured i'd browse through other places before i start buying clothes.
And although i shouldn't really convert when checking out the prices but to pay AUS45 for a simple t-shirt which converts to roughly 3 times is not REALLY worth it. Unless it's so SUPER DOOPER AMAZING that i'm sure i won't find copied in Sungei Wang or badly stitched by some random tailor, i might consider purchasing it.
But i do intend to go shopping but knowing my ability to waste money on little bits of rubbish and trinkets, it's best that i leave the shopping for last minute. That way i have more money to spend since i still have a night or two of clubbing to go through and i don't want to be short on cash.
It's not every day i go out back home, in fact i rarely go out anymore for the reason being that there isn't anywhere decent to go. I'm NOT into hoochie mama-ing myself aka RnB clubs and the good old Mambo nights [a mix of 80's and 90's] are fun once in a blue moon because in all honesty, how many times can one hear those Rick Astley, Tiffany and Wham songs over and over?
I admit i know the lyrics, hell, i probably had them on cassette and had an indent on my thumb where i'd press the rewind button. But with venues that shut at 3am and clubs only packed by 1am... 2 hours worth of speed drinking and bruised toes doesn't excite me so much.
And although i am on holiday in Clubbing central when it comes to the genre i prefer. To be honest, i'd rather spend time either chilling at H+K's house or having quality time with individuals that make me comfortable and with people whom i enjoy talking to.
But isn't that what people do anyway?
Take time out to be with others whom they enjoy the presence of their company. But often people sacrifice their own happiness so they can make the most of a situation and often end up not giving a shit about you to begin with. The world is full of all kinds of people and i'm sure many people are guilty of taking advantage of others, be it emotionally, mentally or physically. It's almost human nature.
And as i've learned in the past, the mind is a very powerful tool. With the combination of a wicked tongue and time to spare, it allows one the strength to lash out. Spoken words that circulate and build itself into a deformed mess often require time for the storm to settle.
I say, remove oneself from the negative surroundings and force yourself to pick yourself up again. In the end, it is only you that can help yourself. And it's only through will power and inner drive that allows a person to grow stronger.
...
YES, i lost my train of thought just now and got a bit metaphoric on you all... ahahhah. But i figured i'd leave that in. Who knows, maybe someone will read it and it'll help them go on with their day. A reminder to myself that this trip has allowed me to see things in perspective and what it means to be "friends".

I'm so happy you're having a good time.
You should buy some muscle soak and let your legs and feet relax in warm water.
there's also a special cream that dancers put on their legs before dancing that cuts down on tiredness and muscle pull/ache. you should look for some :) I've heard it's good.
Love you and enjoy the rest of your trip!!!!
