What's the best thing about Sundays?!

HEHEHEH! "Why the hell is your face green?!" Its called a 'SEAWEED FACIAL MASK' Loved it. And also loving my NYC lonely planet guide! YES, I still have 'Angus, thongs and perfect snogging' and 'Twilight' posters on my wall. It was an obsession- and maybe still is.... 
What a day I had?! It was approximately 38 degrees outside and I had the best time at home with the air con blowing at its max! No reminisces of what an awesome day I WOULD HAD HAVE  if I had gone to the Australian Open or the Big Day Out. 

Let's say today was a productive and relaxing day.

PRODUCTIVE:
1. Did some washing and got a temporary sun tan for stepping into the backyard for just 5 minutes
2. Daily exercise was a bonus with the vacuuming
3. Cleaned the toilet and bathroom (although not fun, I think it needed to be done!)
4. Changed my sheets!! (Whohhoo!! My bed is going to feel brand new tonight!) 

RELAXING: 
1. Free waxing from Lizzy
2. Had an afternoon nap 
3. Read through my 'Discover NEW YORK CITY' (Yeah! Canada and NYC, can't wait to see you in July!!!)
4. Lunch and Dinner was prepared for 
5. Special time with my skin! Exfoliation and a facial mask! 

LOVE MY LIFE!!
After a week of helping out at the bakery and confusing online enrollment at RMIT. My Sunday was just lovely.

I will be sure that my next blog will not be as mundane as this one. Hope you had just as a lovely Sunday as me!!

Will keep you posted.

Its that time of year... time for lucky red packets! Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year my fellow netizens (my new favourite word- made from the two words Internet and citizen)! Festivals, delicious Asian food (although mostly fried) and people everywhere is the definitely the way to celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year! I've just got home from "Cho Tet" on Victoria Street at Richmond and lets just say it was hot hot and my feet are killing me! The food is always the highlight to these festivals! We had beef wrapped in vine leaves, potato twists, banana wrapped in sticky rice with coconut milk, toffee fruits, Hot E (basil seed drink), sugar cane drink, beef jerky, chicken skewers, fried dumplings and lots more!!
ONE of the coolist girls alive- Julie and I
Thinking about the afternoon/night I had I realised that no matter where you go you will always be checking out the people! Let it be because they're the opposite sex, their sense of fashion, what they're eating or who they're hanging out with etc...For whatever reason, I think festivals are one of the best places to do that! I don't mean in a bitchy way, but in a nice and friendly way; like 'oh, I like her dress' or 'he's looking good' or 'I want to eat what she's eating'. Talking to people is what I enjoy the most and small talk is definitely fun!
I'm not going to lie and type it out with a passion and that is- I LOVE FESTIVALS!! They are so much fun especially if you go with a few of your close friends or siblings who love love food and enjoy having fun! Seeing people you haven't seen in while and being introduced to friend's friends gives you a feeling a excitement! I absolutely love the feeling and I'm sure thousands of others do too!
We thought this was pretty awesome :)


Whoohooo! My first post- hoped you enjoyed it and look forward to more!
