This is a crazy city. Everyday you'll be listening to the noises of trucks, police sirens, ambulance, loud exhausts, air horns instead of your own mp3. Sometimes there are road blocks and some times there are shotguns
This occurs when you live in the inner city, where SH1 is just staring at you outside your balcony.
But on the plus side: it's seriously convenient if you wanna go to the Sky City, have a drink or two at the Viaduct, shopping at Queen Street, coffee in Ponsonby, or even looking up cheap stuff at the Victoria Park Market.
Not that this is a plus but you'll feel closer and know more about what's happened when you watch Police Ten7 on tv...
There's more to it than just living in the inner city. It's a sort of closeness without knowing anyone in person. If you have been living here for a few months, unless you really go out to know more people, this city can be considered quite dull.
But where else in this country can you actually enjoy every moment of it and not feeling a tiny bit of loneliness? Christchurch is close but not close enough. There's a lot of give and take in order to build your own dream and you wish it would succeed.

I am hoping for a favourable outcome.

Your Guide to 'Tour of Houses' in Auckland

Yes you heard it. A synopsis of the half day tour of Auckland

First stop will be LAVENDER, probably the most good looking and priciest of them all, given the fact that they proclaim it to be constructed using the best materials. Second down the list will be the largest of them all: KEPA. At 3pm we will be cruising down the street of RUKUTAI to take a trip on two houses situated on either side.

Straight after that we will be driving along the bay where the summer is just starting to wake up. At the end of the drive we will be up the hill overlooking the beautiful city of Auckland from St Heliers from the most strategically located Tudor style house at WAIMARIE.

If time allows we will visit a few more around the area if you want before you take a sneak peek at my going-to-be-ex room at the Beaumont.

BBQ King is the best meal in town, what else?

I've had a long weekend. Slept throughout. It's time to get busy. Again. What a life. Probably working class people are supposed to be busy till the second they die.

I'm working against this. Patience is the key.

Yes, I'm still listening to James Blunt's album. It's freaking good. There aren't many albums out there that's as good as this one. Cos most of the time it's just one or two songs out of 15 that are 'listenable'.... but this! You gotta listen to believe.

Try it. Or if you don't want to splash the cash, grab it off the hub. Worth your effort.

The song of James Blunt keeps ringing in my ears for the past few days. Since you went back down south... Shouldn't have played songs that popular since everytime when the song plays in the radio it reminds me of you. Yes, you.
You're beautiful.
I don't care if you look like vivian hsu or whatever. You're just you. And I like you.
Please, download this James Blunt song. However, the radio version is milder, as the album version replaces 'flying high' to 'fvking high'. sounds weird since it's supposed to be a heavenly love song.... but it's worth listening to.
If you like this song, you'll like the whole album. Try it. :)
'Billy's not too bad too.
It's true, knowing that you're "Beautiful" - by "James Blunt"
