Things that make me Happy

Brother Dearest has left me for the fair shores of home..

Sathishy at the airport, Air NZ check in

I'm kickin it in Tokyo, alone once more, and though i've made some single serve hostel friends, having been away from home and the people i love for almost 2 months.. there are a few items i'm thankful for, often times on a daily basis:

• my tool band shirt.

a gift from That Guy, an old and dear friend whom i get to see too rarely.
have taken to wearing it to bed because it means i can wear it on a nightly basis without getting weird looks regarding questionable laundry and hygiene habits.

• my wallet

not only does it (too) willingly dispense money, it contains pictures of mummy and daddy and doggy
it also contains my expired Otago Uni Student ID which oddly enough, ive come to treasure here in Japan despite the mongol picture of me on it.
.. it is also no coincidence that my community services card sits in front of my credit card.. serving as a powerful reminder of why im never allowed to use it unless im screwed.. or see a particularly pretty pair of shoes.

• a note from Celia

because it makes me smile.. all cutesy and stuck to a baby maltesers packet which has long been eaten for i love maltesers and shes awesome and thoughtful like that.. plus she praises my wingmaning skills within.

• shiny jewellery from Ebony

from that time we went shopping together in Sylvia Park during her lunch break ..which just so happens to be the day i discovered i get to be a real life doctor just like House MD... she bought me a celebratory mega tall grande Truffle Mocha which was to mark the start of a pamper priya spending spree that Paris Hilton would be proud of.
