Then we went to Nice for a few days, which was lovely....did a day trip to Monaco while we were there, which was great - especially Monte Carlo :)
I gotta admit it'll be nice to be settled in one place in a couple of weeks - living out of a bag and changing cities every few days is getting a tad draining :(
It's funny how much a trip like this makes u realise what's important, and changes ur priorities in life....when we left aus we were so excited about the parties and stuff, and now it really doesn't seem to hold the same excitement......we're going to Dance Valley in Amsterdam and we're soooooo not enthusiastic about it anymore....could take it or leave it really....but I guess that's what travelling does to u - opens ur eyes :) All the old enthusiasm will probably come back when we're in one place again for a while tho :)

Nice is great, i loved it. But u can't beat Sydney for a place to live :p
I got over of all the moving also, and u do appreciate the finer things in life.
Hey helen i hope your dad is ok! |

thanks for all the support peeps.!. really appreciate it.
dads ok....came out of Hosp late monday nite after tests concluded he was ok to come home......hes still recovering, both mentally and physically. but he has learnt the hard way unfortunately :/...good news is that he has gone cold turkey on the fags (this is coming from someone who smoked 2-2.5 packs of dunill reds a day!!!!) .... a combination of that and high cholesterol, and the booze of course didnt help matters!..
but knowing that...he was actually 'gone' so to speak for 3 mins (any longer, could have been bad for brain and stuff)was just too much to take in...!...thank god they revived him x
so yeh good news bout my dad...
im enjoying being back here. even being away for 2months, makes u slightly homesick!....as majority of friends and family are over here!... i will try and see/catch up with some of u if ur around. not sure about ANOT....dont wanna have late nite, but suppose could come round for a little!/
i think ill be going back to london next week, mid week if all goes well. am already feeling guilty, of leaving dad, but he has the full support of mum , bro and friends and other family...wen somthing like this happens, it changes the way u think bout life, and really how damn precious it is...

Sorry bout ur dad Helen - Ed and I are thinkin of u!!! And ur right about how precious life is...and soooo short...the combination of travelling and reading what u wrote has made me realise it's time to really grasp certain opportunities that have come my way recently....
K, quick update... We're in San Sebastian at the moment...tomorrow we go to Paris for one night, then fly to Amsterdam for Dance Valley (not really in the mood for it but we've already got plane tickets and DV tickets so figured we may as well use em), then Paris for a few days before we fly to London next Friday and put an end to all this living outta a bag crap for a while!!
I found out where I'll be living and working in London....I got lucky and snagged a great location smack bang in the middle of the West End, looking out over Trafalgar Square and right next to Leicester Square...literally next door to where the English National Opera performs....so, can't complain about the area!!! Looking forward to snagging some free theatre tickets for shows in the area!! The place sounds pretty cool....traditional English pub downstairs, and cushy lounge bar upstairs......and I get all meals and accommodation free, and a decent chunk of spending money every week....should be a good way to get on my feet and decide if I like London enough to wanna find a professional job there.....looks like I'll end up back in Egypt instead tho before coming back to Aus next year :)
Anyways, net here is super pricey so better say bye for now.....will have some DV reports after the weekend - will try not to be tooooo jaded!! hehehe
Take care everyone :) |

I hope being abroad from Sydney is good enough to post in here....No longer in Europe, now in Asia; Langkawi in Malaysia to be specific....
It's ing sexy, is about all I can really say!
Below is a photo of the place I'm staying.
Temp is about 25-33c, with the water being really nice.
It's nice to be in a country where the AUD is worth more then the local currency.....2 pound is worth 18 ringets! That's about 5 beers!
Ok, I think it's time for another swim. Arranging some day tours and stuff for the rest of my time, had my day of relax, and my day of jet lag.
Oh yeah KL airport has wifi for free, as well as speed of about 120kb/s, I love that place (not there now tho, this place is dialup.)

Well, Dance Valley was pretty amazing :) Can't get over how many ppl were there and just how huge it was!!! Don't have time to say much right now, but definitely glad I went since I'll probably be taking a break from the big parties for a while now....was a good one to finish up on for a bit!!
Highlights for me were Sander (of course!! hehe he was goin off - never seen him be such a happy camper!!), Marco V, Lucien Foort, James Holden....ummm I forget who else cos my brain is still sleeping.....caught the end of Markus Schulz - liked what he was playing but the way he looked and acted was too cheezy for words - to the point where I had to leave cos I couldn't help laffin at him.... Biggest disappointment was Deep Dish, surprisingly...was really looking forward to them, but I only stayed for half their set cos it was really lacklustre and wasn't going anywhere, and they weren't interacting at all with the crowd.....maybe they improved after I left - who knows!!
But, pick of the day for me was somebody I'd never seen before....one of those djs whose name I always heard in passing, but never bothered to listen to any of his stuff....Max Graham. OMG he was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even begin to describe how good he was....he played such driving, deep groovy prog, interspersed with some really gorgeous chilled stuff.....he was on right after Sander and I have to say he blew Sander outta the water....he had the crowd in the palm of his hand and he got a way better response than anybody else I saw all day.......and it wasn't just that his music was good...it was also how much he was feeling it and conveying his emotions to the crowd....I can't remember the last time I saw a dj who seemed to really feel and connect with the music that way....I was totally mesmerised watching him....he kinda reminded me of how Dave Seaman connects with the music, only better......so, he's one I'll definitely pay attention to now!!!
All in all, a great day :) Will be in London on Friday so will be able to upload all my piccies then :) |
