置尼四署,较之往,是朝之,是降之。
朝移进向,降于质受。
朝:觑乐友比之,吾驰千里,方有位,方有划。乐友莫及也。
降:占理友比之,昔之逊者今媲吾也。哀,吾顿足不迈,顿踬不利。是昔速祸身,导今之不达。

Mood swings

Lately, I have challenges with mood swings. These mood swings are getting worse and worse especially under such great amount of gray winter days. Perhaps lack of sun exposure leads to the profound effect on my moods and feelings of not well-being.

Now it happens again. Just days before I was on top of the world after the nonchalant Melbourne trip. The mood swings I am experiencing have a certain knack for making me feeling completely lost. My emotions are so out of whack that I do not even know where I should be sad or angry in any situations, any issues.

I doubt if I am suffering from mood disorder… I really hate these. The pains are simply excruciating.

Damn doldrums, please go away from me!!!

Travelling with friends

Going on holiday with friends is one of the best ways to travel. You are able to experience new places or revisit old ones with the comfort and companionship of people close to you. The only big stress is trying to get it organized, but travelling with taxi along, this should not be a big deal.

This winter, Vixon and I made a trip to Melbourne, a place I am quite familiar with, nothing much but some gatherings with old friends and one day trip to Great Ocean Road. Back in a month ago, I was suggesting this trip to Melbourne and to stay with Hengzai to Vixon, it was on the spur of the moment.

I played my role as the asset when it comes to navigating our way in the Melbourne city. Perhaps this is just a personal preference because I have developed to be taxi orientated throughout these years and more map-literate with my E90 GPS.
Hilarious jokes keep popping up along the trip. Indeed, it is so much fun when you have someone else to laugh with.

On one night, we were actually struggling to find a place to accommodate ourselves. The fact that we were both in the same situation was comforting and I think maybe in that time, some further bond was forged.



In hindsight, when travelling with friends, the good far outweighs the bad and the ugly. Although at times it might not have looked that way. I think it all comes down to respect. If you have a high mutual respect for your friend, everything should work out ok.

Do prepare as much for the lead-up as for the return. Inevitable you will have so much fun and so many stories to tell and share in the next few years time.

Now I have returned to Sydney. The travel euphoria is gradually wearing off. Very soon it will be a huge downer that it is all over and I have to settle back into general swing of things.

*Something not relevant but come to my mind
Travelling with mates can be a fantastic bonding experience. On the other hand, it can also be a hell from which there is no escape. Not everyone has the same interests or budget. There are going to be disagreements about what to do and where to go. If you are not good at compromising and wish to keep your friends, travelling solo is your best option. Sometimes it is simply not healthy to be living in each other’s pockets as you do when travelling with friends. Too much time together means annoying habits can be magnified a hundredfold. This is when things get nasty. Personalities clash. Horrible truths come out. There is no escape.

Great Ocean Road
I would say it is one of the world’s most spectacular coastlines though I still have much to explore in the future. Along the Great Ocean Road, the part I remember the most would be the Twelve Apostles. The Twelve Apostles are an extremely popular tourist destination on the great ocean road and there is an extensive series of walkways and viewing platforms.






I was able to find some room and take photo alone. For few moments, I was actually contemplating the ongoing war waged by the sea against these stone sentinels. They said 2cm in a year, I doubt it could be more.







Overall, I love Great Ocean Road particularly the Twelve Apostles part, it was a chance for me to reconnect and appreciate the tenacity of nature. Somehow, at that point of time, my spirit felt saturated with the cosy breeze, fresh air, scorching sunlight, reflective waves… not to mention my self-declared holiday mood.
