New crossroad, new direction, new destination.

So life is gratifying. I finally am on the road to achieving the financial freedom I have been secretly wishing and vocally praying for. It comes in the form of a job... A different kind of job. A non salary-paying kind of job.

My dad is also finally getting some butter on his hands as he releases his unreasonably suffocating grip on my life, particularly in the form of my passport. So I have travel freedom too, and I'm going to celebrate by traveling A LOT more this year. This month, actually. On the cards as of now is a three day two night Bintan break with some media folk. Some radio people, some magazine people. Then at the end of June I'm hoping to head to Melbourne and maybe drop by Sydney to say hi to some of the friendlies at action sports.

Henry and I are oddly better than ever. This whole distance thing is such a healthy balance. Although I do miss him insanely, I'm sure whoever is reading this doesn't want to believe there is a sappy teenager inside the practical realist that is me.

Speaking of age, I turn twenty in a couple of days. 11 days, to be exact. 11 June is the day I say goodbye to being a teenager. It was fun while it lasted.

That's all, really. Life hasn't dished out anything all that arresting, nothing that would make a sensational read. At least not in my book. Give it a month or so.

Noise: Last Request by Paolo Nutini
"Grant my last request and just let me hold you,
don't shrug your shoulders...
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
but one last time let's go there..."
