high as a kite

Ok so the title is slightly misleading.
But my dearest friend Rachel and I drove out to Victoria Point the other day for high tea.
It was quite the adventure, being out near the bay. Very unfamiliar lands.
The food itself was alright but the overall vibe from the cafe was just too adorable.
After our sugary feast, we put on our tourist hats and took a stroll by the water.
Hence why there is only one photo of the actual high tea.

The cupcakes had the best icing I have tasted in my whole history of eating cupcakes.



Just a couple of awkward goofballs. No use trying to hide it.

brain aneurysm

I am feeling slightly dyslexic because this assignment is floating around my mind like a big bull of mush made out of information visualised as text. It hurts :(




On a happier note, the weather is warming and its nearly puppy-buying season!

I've already decided to call him Forrest Gump and lucky for me, I don't have to consult the rest of my family on this name, because my sister and I are getting one each ^^

At first, I considered getting a beagle.

But then I stumbled across a picture of this bad boy.


Forrest just needs somebody to love.

live life or die trying

Every other day, I seem to have a mini mental breakdown (no longer than a few minutes), where I stop and think, shit, what am I going to do?

Am I going to be a solicitor, sitting in an office from 9 to 5 slowly killing my soul with conveyancing documents?
Am I going to work my way up through the government and ultimately become a Director-General of some department and be hounded with public complaints everyday?
Am I going to go overseas and attempt postgrad studies at a prestigious university so that my mother can die a happy woman?
Hell, am I going to drop everything and become an actress, just like Ken Jeong from The Hangover, a fully qualified physician, took up acting.

It seems the sunset on the horizon is still bloody blinding and merely a sign that it is time to party.

sun inspired

Where does your loyalty lie?
This has popped into my mind much too often over the past few years (since graduating, to be exact). It never used to be a concern, but now its like word of the day. Everyday.
So many times, I've lost myself in thoughts about the people in my life.
Are they there for a drink and forgettable (regrettable) night out?
Or are they there to embrace the highs and lows of petty-what-do-I-wear/important-should-I-get-a-tattoo/life-changing-will-I-get-arrested-for-this decisions you have to make?

Along the way, I'm sad to say, that many have dropped like flies.
Although it wasn't intended, it is probably for the better. Or at least that is what fate believes.
But as a deserving trade-off, the sky has cleared up and I can see who is deserving of my loyalty and vice versa. I don't say this in the attempt to liken myself to royalty, I say it in the voice of a young woman, recently ridded (might not be a word) of her teenage years.

I realised this morning, when I was buried in my morning thoughts, that I am a very creative person. But not the normal type of creative person. I am not an artist.
I like to think I hold a robotic creativeness.
I love to play piano, dance and sew. But I hate to compose, choreograph and design.
Sadly, I need the music in front of me and I need to be taught the steps and I need a pattern to follow. In saying that, I actually don't think its sad. Because its what I love.

If I Won $10 Million

This is my absolute favourite day-dream hypothetical situation.
I can't tell you how many times I've thought about this and actually allocated the money.

$1million: Spread amongst a portfolio of charities

$500,000: A sharehouse for whoever I choose to live with. Nothing that requires too much maintenance. Hence why I'm holding back from buying a mansion.

$500,000: The best holiday I could ever imagine. The Maldives, Greek Islands, Paris, New York City, for maybe 3 months.

$100,000: Pay off my HECs debts and pay upfront my remaining fees for uni. (5.5 years of study is exy!)

$2million: Trust fund for my future babies ^_^ (must be invested properly!)

$1million: New house for my parents and sister if they want one. Or a couple of investment properties.

$100,000: Pretty car.

$100,000: Pretty clothes.

$100,000: The best 21st party anyone has ever been too. Haha.

$100,000: Things for my sharehouse, perhaps a jumping castle for the backyard.

$4.5million: Live comfortably while I continue living the life I intended. I've learnt that it is very difficult to change one's spending habits in the long run, regardless of how much money they have.
Or I'll just move to Hollywood and get trashed.
