And when they clash and come together and start a rising, Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from.

Currently listening to Kings of Leon's Radioactive

You know, I can't recall myself sleeping at night, dreaming about Wellington. Maybe its people, yes. But not the place. I don't know, maybe I forgot that I had dreams about it. Sometimes I ask myself if I completely forgotten about it. Like you know, its not that important anymore, so everything becomes blurry. Once I don't even recall Ilottt cafe's Wedges & Sour Cream - my favorite snack while I'm in uni - until Nonie mentioned it awhile ago.

Then I was like. "Eh, yes. Sedap nya that thing." Then. "Wait, Ilott?".

Okay Ilott was definitely far away from my mind. I have forgotten all about it, when actually, it was one of the most frequent places that I always go in between classes.

Lately it's been raining. And because of that I just can't help myself but to let my mind wander, back to those days where all we care about is how to stay dry. Or probably sometimes (although rarely), enjoying the walks when the roads are really wet, layering ourselves with clothes til we feel so fat, then put on a jacket, and boots to go to class. Then I remembered it was freezing cold, then what I'll do is to look for hot coffee/tea to warm me up. Then we can get excited when we can see our own breaths while talking.

The I remember the Wet Wellington. Sublime. Even in gloomy days I think Wellington is still beautiful.

Made me want to browse for photos. Just to see the place. Then I realized, I don't have a lot of them. I admit, I am not the type who stop and snap back then, as I am too lazy to carry a digicam, and I don't have the iPhone convenience like I have now.

And I took more event photos, with people in it. The place? There's some, but not many.

How sad. Then it strikes me; maybe back then, all I care is the experience. All I cherished, is the memories and the people. But the place? I don't know.

Maybe I took Wellington for granted.

Honestly? There's a slight regret. For now, I still remember the roads. I can still see myself walking around there. I can still feel it. The walks, the air, the hills, the bus rides, the gloomy weather, the festivals and celebrations, the sushi lunches, Scopa's famous hot chocolate, Simply Paris, Real Groovy, Glassons, Crepes, Reading Cinemas, the harbour, the alone time with the city, the lights, the buildings, the art. I can get the same feeling when I remember the times where I was at the Kelburn library and I can see the most of Wellington - the city, the harbor, the sea. Or even, my old room back in Weir House.

Yes, memories worth something more. But pictures? Is what keeping the memories alive.

I guess maybe, I must go back there. And this time? I won't forget the photos.

Say you'll stay, don't come and go, like you do.

Currently listening to Bic Runga's Sway

What I'd love to do:
1. Cycling at Wetland, Putrajaya.

I don't know why, I just feel like going for a breeze ride down the hill. And maybe just walk back up :P haha. But I don't want to do it to sweat myself out, instead, I want to wear pretty skirt and tucked-in shirt, with a scarf and probably a flower or ribbon on top and riding a bicycle with a basket in front.

Maybe I can plug-in my iPod and listen to Sound of Music soundtrack. Wait, I don't have them in my iPod! haven't ripped the old CD. Shucks. Ah well, other songs will do.

2. To go up to Broga Hill

got this from google

I know I'll always ask people why Broga? It's like a trend you know, suddenly everyone goes up to Broga. Its like I don't understand why people think fixed-gear bikes are cool when I think BMX is way cooler - always have and always will be the coolest bicycle ever! :P. Okay Broga, well, I admit it's breathtaking up there. I like the flowy grass on the hill the most! and I saw some people have several shots on a swing that is tied up to a tree. Okay that's the reason why I want to go up there. I don't feel like going up there to watch sunrise. Instead, I feel like how I described above, wearing something nice, and prolly bring a cameraman/woman with me and have some beautiful shots. hahahahah. But I know here in Malaysia, there's no way that you go up a hill without sweating.

Hurm. same goes to cycling '=_=

3. To be living in the 60s. Is that even possible???

I'll blame Mad Men for this.

I love how this series potrays the 60s. Actually I don't know very much about that era, but I think this show sums up (at least) most of the things about it. I mean we can really see how they address the current issues the Americans/most people have during that time, like you know, sexism, adultery, racism, how smoking is so in, etc. Reminded me how tough things were especially for some people; especially women. One of the characters show some 'girl power' - maybe thats the starting point for feminist.

However, one of the great things about the 60s for women, which is the main reason why I wanna be in the 60s, is the fashion. OMG I love the 60s fashion! If you watch the series, look at the ladies and their dresses, especially Betty Draper. Hers are the best! Plus, watching the show makes me want to be in advertising, and have a brilliant boss like Don Draper. Its not so much because he's an eye candy (well, why not? makes you wanna work harder right :P haha but he's more like a womanizer so I don't fancy him for that), but to learn from him and his brilliant ideas. And his quotes are like the best.

From the pilot episode I was struck by a few of his lines already. I was like.. yeah, true that! ahah.

Hah I am in love with that series :)

Okay, moving on!

4. To go shopping.

Haha. The urge to get some new pretty clothes just kicked in recently. I have been trying to change my sense of style, well I guess its always like you know, back to square one. Back to being the plain jane I always have been. And everytime I was thinking about styles, I'll be going back to the same style that I always wanted, but never got the chance to get the stuff - which is vintage.  Maybe I'll elaborate this more on another post. Maybe.

5. Watching the plane departs.

I haven't got the chance to do this at all. Wanna join me?

6. To get back on track with my lomo.

Dah berhabuk dah kot? pffttt. And I have been planning to get myself a Diana - and until now I haven't bought one for myself. Always have to use the money I kinda save up for something else. pffttt.

7. To catch up on Gossip Girl, Supernatural and to finish ugly betty.

I am one season behind for both GG and Supernatural. And I am a few episodes away from the series finale for Ugly Betty. Anyone cares to share if you have the series?

Okay I made the list. I realized how I love making list on things I'd like to do. Maybe I should put them up in a book, and tick every bit of things I've done. Its sort of like a bucket list. I guess.

8. To go to the beach.

I have been longing to go to the beach! I miss just hanging out, soaking up the sun while entertained by the sound of waves, and the cool breeze..

ah.. blisss..

9. To watch fireworks.

Because today is Guy Fawkes and they'll usually have fireworks for 15 mins in Wellington. And I just love fireworks. Its been awhile since I watch one.

p/s: notice a pattern on every little thing I wanted to do? ehe
