So I had my appointment today – and I ended up with not only my beautiful book fairy (drawn by my friend Sandi) but also with an enlargement of my first lower back tattoo. I thought I’d have to get another appointment for it, but Roger was so quick doing the little elf that I couldn’t resist the chance of getting it done in one go (plus I didn’t have to pay extra *g*). Just look at the pretty:
I’m also thinking of getting another (probably my last) one done before I leave, a Maori design to commemorate my love for this country and this amazing year that I’m having. It’ll have to be a kirituhi (“skin art”), because true moko are tapu (sacred) and only meant for Maori, and I definitely wouldn’t want to offend. I only want a piece of New Zealand to carry with me…
But enough of tattoo talk, which I know isn’t for all of you (yes, I’m looking at you, Mami and Papi *g*). Yesterday I met up with Rachel, who I know from church, and we had lunch and went for a walk on Oriental Parade. We just talked and talked and had a really amazing time.
I’ve also been hanging out with Meredith and with my flatmates and some of Rathy’s friends, and Janne is back in town for a couple of weeks as well. The weather is pretty miserable, especially today (it’s been raining uninterruptedly all day), but with all the socialising I’ve been doing, I don’t really mind. I’m also not really getting any uni work done, but I still have time, so I’m not stressing about it just yet. 🙂
