the things that fascinate me

There are a few fascinating things that still and will probably always throw me off guard (some neutrally, some positively and some negatively).

1. Time difference
2. Seasonal weather changes. Seriously amazing. 
3. Blogs/twitter/fb accounts that direct statuses at other people: 'i can't believe you would do this..i miss you..bla bla bla.'  I never understood the concept of telling the whole world about your personal problems.
4. The feeling of falling in love with a song
5. Why people wear colored contacts. Imagine how I would look with blue eyes? Ridiculous is the word.
6. Why humans always seem to love to leave everything till the last minute...and every single time we say the same thing: "I've learnt my lesson, never doing this again!" Yeah that never works out. 
7. The fine line between love and lust
8. The dynamic behind bad customer service
9. The Facebook revolution. 

and finally, the number one thing that fascinates me...

Australian summer: late 2011-early 2012

I've decided to post up a vlog (video blog) about some of the things I did during the summer! Unfortunately, this video does not contain all the wonderful moments that I was lucky enough to have. However it does illustrate the general feel of my summer, and it really was a great summer.

If you guys are wondering why the heck I have to title this post as my 'Australian' summer, I have a very simple reason. For those of you who don't know, I actually studied in a British international school for a decade of my life. Our summers were always from July- August, and I'm still finding it a little odd that I now have my big holiday from December- Feb.

Before you watch the video, I would also like to state that one of the most monumental moments I had this summer was working for the Sony Uphoria event in Singapore. I literally flew into Singapore on the night of the 2nd of December and I ended up at work the following morning. The event saw live performances from Train and Mike Posner, and boy were they amazing live. The experience was absolutely incredible, because I love my music so so much. I got to be in their dressing rooms and everything!!

Ridiculously amazing being so close to Mike Posner

I also spent my summer taking out my wisdom teeth, running between acting jobs, working and doing short emceeing stints for various events (CA Technologies/IBM/Red Hat Asia Pacific), and spending time with my wonderful family. Thank you to everyone who made my summer so fantastic; it was the most productive one I have had thus far.

Anyway without further ado, this is Nadia's Aussie summer video. The quality is pretty weak so I suggest that you don't make it full screen should you choose to watch it. Cheers guys!
