bubbly toes...

I'm sorry i hadn't have much to write in here. it isn't that i don't have the time, but more like i waste it on spending time with him, watching vampire diaries (which has now become like the first thing i do when i get home after work!) or just bumming about and roaming the city, hunting for new street cafes around town. i have yet to turn this into a food blog because i don't have a proper camera to do so and because I wouldn't trust myself to blog on a food post every week or so (i mean who am i to kid right, i don't even have time to shit pfft and so it would've defeated the purpose of a food blog).

so i passed my part 1. yes, i cried like a baby when i read the result online. and no, I'm not trying to brag here but its because i take so much pride in the effort and work I've put in given the excruciatingly painful and stressful circumstances that I'm in. it is, actually, possible. and then, i became broke in just a month because i was pampering myself with retail therapy (yes because i totally deserved it!) and AUSTRALIA happened! 

how beautiful the land down under :) i could, possibly live there. and i am glad we made the trip around melbourne and sydney on our own this time. no tour guides, no buses to catch on time, no 30 mins meal to gobble down because we're on a tight schedule. no 5 min pit stops just to take pictures and prove that oh! i was here. no, none of that. it was a really casual, at-our-own-pace holiday. but my mum could've been a bit less dramatic, less grumpy and less expecting that I've lived in this city for like the entire years of my life. i mean seriously. 


along the Great Ocean Road. it really is amazing. :) i could live in Port Campbell all my life and watch the sunset and sunrise and the ocean everyday. 



the 12 apostles! there are only 8 of em currently though :) 



whats a trip to aussie without feeding some hungry kangaroos! :D




at the south bank promenade, watching the sunset behind the melbourne skyline :) i did enjoy melbourne so much because i think it really is such a vibrant and cool city to live in! 



 say hello to the sydney opera house! :) 



enjoying a cuppa special chocolate yum yum at the guylian chocolate cafe by the harbour! lurvessss maximus! :) 


needless to say, sydney wouldn't be complete without the harbour bridge picture. if it weren't so expensive to do the climb up the bridge, i definitely would've done it! :D 

so yes, australia was amazing. wished we had more time. i will definitely be back. maybe gold coast, perth and like the real australian outback in darwin? :D 

so after all that traveling, i came back to work with serious withdrawal symptoms (as always). i am really broke so i can't quite find the courage to plan for the next one yet. maybe .... halong bay and hanoi with mum next year? taiwan with him? hee :)
