The End.

Will be home Friday night, being a massive weirdo about it and not sure i want to come home. Hopefully that will sort itself out asap. All my things don't fit in my suitcase which is a bit of a stress. I wish mum was packing for me, she is an excellent suitcase packer. See you all very very soon!

free as a bird


so it is all over, i'm no longer an intern for the devil thank god. (what a lot of religious reference in one sentence) anyway since i finished on friday i've been out, drank too much, come home slept all saturday, saturday night and sunday morning. then i watched hot rod a movie that was entertaining enough ran/walked on the treadmill nearly had a heart attack had a super long shower went to the yacht club for a swim and to meet dad even though there is a pool here... there were children wreaking havoc everywhere and i couldn't face going in. had an argument with dad, came home, ate cheese and pate and now msning with jeremy my best online friend. 

so thursday yasmine finished at the magazine and then i did on friday. friday was so strange. my boss went bananas. he didnt know what day it was or even that it was production week. he was talking jibberish and asking random questions. and as soon as i asked him anything he would be like ahhh my brain isnt working yet... and then i asked him if any of the graphics had been done so i could check my pages after a ridiculous sulk from him the issue before and he was like my brain is frazzled . and i was like i just want to know if it has been started or not... and he says Just give me ten minutes to sort my brain out im not really functioning coherently at this point in time. Then I will answer your question. i was like... right... then he talks to a friend on the phone and cant answer anything the friend is asking and then he walks out, an hour later we get a call saying he is in hospital for the next few days... so we finished the magazine with out him. it was quite nice actually, not having him looming over. 

after i left work at 9 (record early) i met yasmine in central to have a look in the shops, found a grey leotard at h&m which is part of an aids campaign and was going to buy it to tease al with but decided to wait and see if i have any money left (im living purely off allowance from dad) at the end of the week. 
then we went back to mine so we could shower and get ready and weren't ready until 12.30 but oh well.. we were going to a house party and thought it would still be going. but they had gone out already to some african bar and we were on our way to meet them. yasmine whipped out her camera and made me pose with lkf in the background... and then out of no where these hooligans jumped into teh frame and they were arustralian so we befriended them. and one of them was a member of one of the big clusb that you either have to be a member of, be with a member of, or pay $60 aus to get into. i stupidly forgot my id cause i havent had to use it when ive gone places on the list for work so they haven't asked. it was very embarrassing, had to spend $20 going home and back to get it. but it was a fun night. we danced a lot, had lots of free drinks. yasmine the trashbag spewed everywhere and took photos of randoms who told her to go away. 





















yasmine leaves tuesday night and kony is going to taiwan for 5 days next week so i will have nothing to do but write my stories in cafes...

36 office hrs approx until it's over


three days left in the office. couldn't come soon enough. i'm really so so over it. wing finishes tomorrow and yasmine does on thursday. then lucky last, i finish on friday. finally made something of that bloodybeetroots interview, it was challenging but i've sent it off to the editor, done and done. the food feature this issue is on (molecular) mixologists very similar to molecular gastronomists but dealing with cocktails.


last night i wined and dined with yasmine and kony, it was great to have kony back! we immitated the train man, who was some old guy who was grinding and licking the poles on the mtr, i wanted to link you to the youtube video but i cant find it.. oh well,
























went to lantau on the weekend to chillax, it was nice. very bizarre combination of people but was lots of fun. hottest day of the year looks cold in the photo..

























the end. x

T minus Twentythree

Counting down the days until I finish my internship. It is taking freaking forever. Today there are 8, well 7 and 4ish hours left (not including the weekend). All the interns are about to go to the printers to see how magazines are made.
We have a new intern, Irma (pronounced Erma) the boss is out of the office so we went for a staff thai lunch.
Yasmine is finally about to finish her tiisis, thank god, im over it so I cant imagine how she feels. I’m working on my last articles, happy to see the end of them, especially the neverending food reviews. Poor waistline!
Mum has gone back to Melbourne but managed in her 10 day stay to get me going for early morning walks. It’s the walk of death. Down to psychoport (Cyberport, weird place, massive empty mall – always deserted) and then back up to the apartment. It is pretty much 30 minutes of steady uphill with a steep down hill at the start and at the end. My ghetto thighs are not happy.
I’m so sick of the clothes that I brought with me! I think im going to have to burn them when I come home and have options!
Mum took all my cooler weather clothes home with her when she left cause otherwise my luggage will never make it home, it is certainly over the 20kg limit!
I’ve decided to spend the week that I have after yasmine leaves and before I leave writing my collection of stories, sitting in cafes and finally seeing all the movies I have free passes to! That’s all for now, to the printery!
Peace out brussel sprouts x
