I woke up in the afternoon, that's about an hour ago, because my body just can't fathom the distance we had to travel back and forth yesterday. We went on a rolling roadtrip to Eaglehawk, Bendigo spent a whole day there. I got sunburnt and right now am as red as a lobster! Kind of destroyed my body yesterday too from the McDonald's I had for breakfast and dinner, but at least the apple pie is nice.

OK no pictures because I took everything analogue so that's gonna take a while to be put up but I think I'm sending the film to Michael's today.

Gosh, after nearly a year of spending time with books that was closely the best thing that happened to me. I needed that kind of break, to go out to the country and just chill under the sun with good company and good laughs. Some of them I've just met too and the way we hit it off makes me real fond of them. Like sitting at the gutter waiting for our friends to do rail tricks and cracking jokes until we topple over with tears. And this might sound silly but the police in Bendigo is just awesome! For serious man, they stopped their car in front of us, asked what's going on and said, "You enjoying sitting at the gutter? You're doing a pretty good job at it!" and gave us thumbs up! Now if you were to do that here in Melbourne they'll be like, "Mate, show me some ID. Now, scram! Get outta here!". I guess that's the difference between country and metropolitan life. Simpler times vs. living in paranoia, simpler times win all the time.

I don't get to go on a lot of roadtrips because face it, Lumut to Bandar is like 40min, going to Temburong nobody is always up to because of the heat and the kusutness so all the roadtrip I ever get when I'm in Borneo is driving up to KK. Even Miri isn't considered a roadtrip because come on, 20min from KB Town that's like driving up to get petrol in Telisai when the ones in Seria and Lumut are out.

Well all I got to say is that trips to places away from the city really does make you appreciate the simple things. Hygiene not included though. But the scenery on the way, the vegetation, especially the vegetation because I have this real uncanny admiration for nature, is just so damn nice! They're pretty, different and open up your eyes to a lot of possibilities that the world can offer. I think being here in Australia is the only chance for me to enjoy these kinds of luxuries. Sometimes even being on the coach going to Mt Buller or Phillip Island can wow you like there's no tomorrow. I know I want to go to places like Sydney, Darwin and Perth but I can do that when I work and have the money to splurge on the more expensive things in life. So far I've only been to Brisbane and Gold Coast to visit my cousins and that was whack! But I hate travelling on airplanes. I know right, year after year of going back and forth home and back makes you think that I might get the hang of it but naah, airplanes and me just don't get along. I don't like how constant it is sometimes, call me weird but I much prefer it when there's turbulence because I sleep better. Although the plus side of travelling on planes alone would be the single-serving friends you make and don't need to keep because everyone is the same. You say Hello and then you say Goodbye. Life goes on.

There's a new skate park opening next week in the country too so I hope I get to be on the ride for that one! I know I'm just so bored and jobless now that I'm down to do anything! So bring it oooonnn!!

I know I've just been rambling, this is how bored I am right now. I'm hungry and I need a shower.
