		<description><![CDATA[Still swirling within that vast spectrum of emotions, I had some final arrangements done to my room: the professional steam cleaner from FastTrack (a wog I believe) dropped by at 7.30am sharp. I had to help him carry some heavy artillery (I exaggerate) to begin that steam cleaning process, which involves spraying liquid on my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I cling and uncling to what I&#8217;m about to exit. I&#8217;ve begun packing most of my belongings—mostly apparel and souvenirs—on Monday, a day after I returned from my Great Southern Touring Route trip with Esther, Esther&#8217;s aunt, and Estee, and I felt ready to leave. But as usual my heart oscillates between a rank sadness [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was in front of my laptop at about 8.45pm on New Year&#8217;s Eve when I heard my name being yelled from outside my window. Sliding it open, I discovered Ivan literally right in between the birth of a storm, him breathlessly talking about a beautiful sight of a low-hanging moon. &#8220;This is crazy,&#8221; I [...]]]></description>

Saturday, 12th December 2009 I was holed up in the State Library using RMIT&#8217;s free WiFi when Ivan rang me up, asking if I&#8217;d like to go to join them with a friend [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two Tuesdays ago (December 8th), Estee and I met up at Melbourne Central in the midst of the heavy rain. The downpour was an unpleasant setback as I was already getting sick, but I donned my waterproof jacket anyway (which proved to be only half-useful, as my trousers were soaked through) and walked to Flagstaff [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As mentioned previously in my previous post, I&#8217;m going to deviate from chronicling my New Zealand trip—if anyone does read them anyway—due to severe time constraints. My earlier plans of gaming like crazy was replaced with a workaholic being, whose daily life here is serenely pleasing with nary an incident—and that, in itself, is its [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Melbourne used to be just a name—it was the name of a city south-east on the Australian map, it was the name that appeared on intervals in the World section of TheStar newspaper, and it was where my university is located at. Back then it was just a name like any other city. Dubai? New [...]]]></description>

I went to the Royal Botanical Gardens again on Friday, but this time with Ethan. This is after both Des and I cut our hair, when I felt renewed and energised again after my [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s pre-Melbourne jitters all over again, except this time I&#8217;m throwing myself right into New Zealand&#8217;s phenomenal South Island. I am excited, yet, a billion things are about to affect me emotionally all at [...]]]></description>
