// STRAWBERRIES //

HelloooOOoo,

The only reason why I labelled this blog post strawberries was because we bought 3 big boxes of strawberries the other day. As well as 12 avocados. I'm currently very happy with the food supplies in my house. 

Weekly customers :') what is life without strawberries

These were bought from the City Wednesday markets. And honestly, we rarely buy strawberries and avocados from anywhere else now because the ones from these markets are always the best.
I also decided to buy a smoothie from the one of the stalls. And I just wanted to put this out there. IDK if it's just me...but I find the fruit that they stack on top of drinks a bit annoying?


I mean, they're pretty and they would make a nice Instagram post but they're really not practical. I MEAN LOOK AT THAT. THE STRAW IS NOT EVEN VISIBLE ANYMORE. 

SCENARIO: What if I was on the brink of collapsing from dehydration and this was the my only option of drink HOW WOULD I SURVIVE EATING THE BANANA FIRST TO REACH MY DRINK (In this scenario I am against throwing food away and my other hand is occupied with carrying something and yes this smoothie is my only drink of choice)
Anyways, you get what I'm trying to say: Yes the fruit makes the drink look pretty but it also makes the drink 500x harder to drink especially when walking around a market. 



PS I also had a hella bomb mushroom and avocado float for lunch <3

I think both mushrooms and avocado are either hit or miss in terms of what people like to eat. People tend to either LOVE them or HATE them. There literally is no in between (well there probably is but I'm talking most people IN GENERAL)

ALSO forgot to mention. I BOUGHT A MINIATURE DRINK BOTTLE BLENDER THINGO TODAY FROM KMART FOR ONLY $19. HELL TO THE YEAH.
It's so cute and so easy to use. Now I can make smoothies everyday without the hassle of taking out the blender.

























That's all I have to say for now because I really need to sleep. yay 8 hour day at uni tomorrow...

peace owt

// MAYBE NEXT TIME //

hi hello,

(warning boring post with no photos)

Im currently waiting for my nails to dry, so I'm cautiously typing up this blog post. 

OKAY SO:  First few weeks at uni (in other words the weeks that supposedly involve 'learning' rather than 'cramming')are suppose to be somewhat breezy (in comparison to S.W.O.T.V.A.C). It's suppose to be that time where I repeatedly tell myself "I'll just do it later" or "If I work really hard starting from 9pm I can get in a solid 5 hours of work done" (Because YES I have a bad habit of sleeping at 2am and YES I'm working on fixing my sleeping pattern and NO so far I have not succeeded).

HOWEVER I have just checked my timetable for this term and I cannot afford to fall back into old habits because EVERYTHING IS DUE SO SOON.

I've not failed to notice the repetitive cycle that involves me realising how fucked I am the day before a big folio/assignment hand in. Every time (normally around 4pm) I breakdown and swear to god that NEXT TIME I will put in 100% effort and not slack off during those early weeks. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I lose motivation after the first couple of hours and my lecture notes eventually consist of 
1. The date 
2. The lecture number
3. A couple of doodles on the corner of the page

HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS BAD HABIT OF MINE? HOW DO I GET MOTIVATED?
DO I ACTUALLY SUFFER MILD ADHD BECAUSE I CAN  NEVER CONCENTRATE ON SOMETHING LONG ENOUGH AND GET DISTRACTED TOO EASILY? 

This Semester I've decided to approach my uni learning and assignment-ing differently in hopes of actually becoming a motivated person who doesn't thrive off procrastination. 

#1. DO NOT STUDY ON MY BED. This will be difficult seeing as it's almost impossible to not want to lay among a bed of pillows and warm blankets ESPECIALLY IN WINTER. However, every time I sit on my bed and begin to study I ALWAYS END UP FALLING ASLEEP OR LYING IN A POSITION THAT IS PROBABLY REALLY BAD FOR MY BACK AND POSTURE. In other words..studying on my bed is no help at all unless my aim of the night is to fall asleep and end up with keyboard square prints on the side of my cheek. 

#2. Using meal times as an excuse to watch a TV show/Movie is not acceptable (during stressful pre-assessment due dates). Because more than likely it is not 'saving time' and I would not normally take 2 hours to eat a meal. Although that is debatable, considering I am quite a slow eater. But NOPE IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A RULE.

#3. Stop fucking painting my nails at inconvenient times. BECAUSE IT LITERALLY STOPS ME FROM BEING ABLE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT LEAVES ME HANDICAPPED.

#4. Watching 'The Block' and 'House Rules' on TV doesn't count as studying for Architecture. 

THIS IS SUCH A LOL BECAUSE IM SAYING ALL THIS BULLSHIT THAT I PROBABLY WON'T EVEN FOLLOW THROUGH WITH. BUT IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT I GAVE IT A GO.

AND THAT IS MY GUIDE TO NOT FAILING UNI.

// LET'S BE FRANK. //

Hello ppl of the internet, 

Uni starts tomorrow (KILL ME NOW). So I guess I'll be getting back into the routine of stressing about what to wear each day in fear of earning the title 'constant outfit repeater' #firstworldprobelms . 

Although....I'm pretty guilty of doing that throughout semester 1. Honestly, I've already forgotten what it was like to put on a high school uniform everyday...I kind of miss it..but not really. 

Other than working at the same old same old fruit shop, here's a little glimpse of what I've been up to in my oh so boring life: I decided to order Frank body the other day to experience the hype of those naked-covered-in-dirt-whilst-holding-up-a-paper-bag-sefies that began to take over Instagram  last year. If you haven't seen them then look up #frankbod and you'll understand what I'm talking about.  
And before you ask - no I did not succumb to (that particular) insta-selfie trend. (this may have also been due to the fact that I was wearing an unappealing shower cap to keep the coffee scrub out of my hair)


























So I gave it a go and it was actually quite nice. Afterwards, my skin was really smooth and soft. The scrub also left me smelling like a roasted coffee bean! Personally I would use this in winter rather than summer, because the almond oil leaves your skin nice and moisturised which may actually feel a bit heavy for summer. But during winter it is a very nice remedy for dry skin :)

ALSO I have actually finally begun the task of tidying/re-decorating my room. This process might take me a couple of weeks because I always begin tidying up then end up lying on my bed listening to music. So far, I have stripped down my old photos and I've begun to compile new collages. Here's my new closet door collage which as you can see accentuates my Matty Healy obsession. Also there's a drawing of a creepy man don't ask why. 



I also put up that poster I bought from a cute paper shop in Sydney :)


I'm still working on the other 2 closet doors. And also the rest of my room because it is hella messy. 

Annied to go get some sleep now because uni tomorrow :'(

// SPLENDOUR IN THE GRA- PEFRUIT //

SO people are at Splendour having fun and listening to good music and probABLY BUMPING INTO MATTY HEALY AND LAUREN MAYBERRY whilst I'm clawing my eyes out in boredom living the life of a check out chick at a fruit shop. yes w o w. I lead such an interesting life. 
The closest I can get to Matty Healy at the moment is re-watching my videos from The 1975's BDO concert. AND THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

Also I hope everyone has watched the robbers music video because Matty is a beautiful human being and this is a beautiful song and you jUST NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE. (trust me)

This post is becoming a Matty Healy appreciation post and I'm not even sorry. 

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Matty is probably the only one who can pull of this haircut. 



ps. look George's face (the drummer in the background)
When I first found out about the tattoo on his chest which says 'Annie' I fangirled hard (classic me lol). 

obvs soul mates yeah
However, I also found out that 'Annie' was actually dedicated to his Grandma so now I don't know how I feel about that... Although I'm not sure if the source is entirely correct. 

MOVING ON. His voice. My god. I have to admit some of his performances are not the best due to the fact that he smokes wayy too much. However, some of his performances are just so on point I want to cry. 

This live session absolutely killed me (in a good way). I mean just listen to the way his voice cracks in the best ways possible. 

O K A Y.  I feel like it's time for me to stop fangirling because y'all probably not as hardcore obsessed with him as me. (If you are then let's be friends. Best friends.)

anybody remember this

On a completely different note - I've finally received my TTCC, meaning I can travel on public transport stress free and without the fear of being fined. thx Translink. (but no thank you for introducing the stupid requirement in the first place)

It's time for me to rest my eyes and body (aka sleep) because I have work tomorrow yet again. The next couple of days will probably be pretty boring unless some kind of scandal happens at the fruit shop. Which I highly doubt. 

Fun story: I sometimes giggle to myself when people pay for their fruit/veg with credit card because I ask them whether or not I can use PayPass with their card and phrase it as 'Can I tap that?' Seventh Grade maturity levels. o so gr8.

// EVE U BETCH //

I decided to make a blog post because I'm just sitting here in bed and I don't feel like watching my TV shows (wow that's a first). 
Although right now I just hate the world. A feeling that is often felt once a month. A FEELING OF HATRED TOWARDS EVE. (if you don't get what I'm trying to say then bYE). ANWAYS I'M SITTING IN MY BED EATING MALTESERS AND BLOGGING. BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT. 

So on Tuesday, Hue Man came over and we made kale and sweet potato chips. mmmMMMmm. They were pretty easy to make because all you need to do is drizzle a bit of olive oil and salt over the top then put them in the oven for about ten minutes. 
Kale chips literally just look like crispy vegetable leaves. But they taste pretty decent. aLtErnatIVE HEalThY snAcK. 


We also watched the season finale of revenge even though I've like missed out an entire season. But the ending was actually really good yet frustrating because the cliffhanger was kinda annoying (surprise surprise). After that I forced her to watch x factor auditions on youtube with me (hehehe). I'm actually obsessed with watching talent show auditions; I used to watch them all day to procrastinate high school assignments. I also forced her to watch some fifth harmony covers because they are AMAZING. click this AND THEN this AND ALSO this. (AND ALSO WATCH THE REST OF THEIR COVERS. C O V E R S. )
oOPS that's enough promo for today. I got a bit carried away with the youtube links because Amihan just taught me how to use the link button on my blog posts. 

ANWYAYS today I met up with Jess, Jo Ann, Sunny, Akuila and Sara for brunch. We went to the Gunshop Cafe in Westend. MMMMMM French Toast :) 


After Brunch I had to head over to work :'( but work = money..so I guess I can't complain. 
Although now that I think of it.. throughout all my shifts, the only thing going through my mind is 'I can't wait for this to be over'. It has come to my attention that I'm literally willing away hours of my life and just waiting for the day to be over. This 'epiphany' made me realise that in the future IF I have a job that I don't particularly enjoy, I'll literally spend every single day of my life wishing for the end of the day. AND THAT'S NOT HOW I WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE. So hopefully I get a good job that is in my field of interest. At the moment I'm really enjoying Architecture so hopefully the job field will welcome me with open arms when I graduate (lol in a perfect world). 
Speaking of which, uni starts next week - so I'll be back into the routine of staying in the studio, stressing about assignments and ultimate procrastination. Therefore, my updates will either diminish (because I will soon have no life to blog about) or they will increase (because I'm trying to put off doing work). I GUESS ONLY TIME WILL TELL. 

Tomorrow will consist of me:
1. Working.
2. Working.
3. Working.
4. It's late night shopping so..WORKING. 
5. Looking at how messy my room and not doing anything about it.
6. Making plans to clean my room the following weekend.
The following weekend will consist of me:
1. Not following through with the plans made in 6.

// (VIRTUAL?) REALITY //

Before you read on - WARNING this is a pathetic teenage girl rambling on about extreme first world problems that are probably not blog worthy at all. 

I've realised (not exactly recently) that social media has had a controlling reign over my life. I mean the amount of time spent on my phone and laptop is ridiculous. 

Even when I'm in the outside world (reality a.k.a not in front of a screen) social networking is still part of the regime. It sounds sad but most of my events involve me wondering what will be a nice Instagram post? What witty caption will accompany the photo? If this isn't Instagram worthy should I just Snap story it instead? IT MAY SOUND FUNNY BUT IN REALITY IT TRANSLATES TO MY VERY SAD EXCUSE OF A LIFE. 

Instagram is definitely one of the more wider known and used social platforms. However, it has crossed my mind that most of our followers probably only take 2 seconds to scroll over a photo, double tapping to 'like' it; Whereas we may end up spending over a hundred times more time and effort into finding the right angle/lighting/caption. I'M COMPLETELY GUILTY OF THIS SO EVERYTHING I WRITE IN THIS POST IS ACTUALLY A SELF CONFRONTATION. But I figured I may as well say what everyone else is thinking anyways...right? (please tell me I am not the only one out there who has been thinking this for a while now)

Moving along, there's so many other sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Tumblr, and the worst of them all YOUTUBE. I don't know about you, but I sometimes find myself laughing into the early hours of the morning whilst binge watching videos on youtube channels. It has come to the point where I simply use youtube to procrastinate EVERYTHING. I no longer just procrastinate assessment, I PROCRASTINATE LIFE. 

Often when I wake up, the first thing I do is grab my phone and end up on social media sites yet again. Instead of getting out of bed and starting my own day, I spend time scrolling through dashboards...reading and seeing photos based on OTHER people's lives. I mean if you think about it...how weird is that. OKAY SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE SO I DONT FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE LOSER. 

ALSO, if you give it a thought...phones have actually become - well in my case, a safety net. If I need to copy notes to revise for a test I simply take a photo of it on my phone. Even in social situations, it is my safety net. I don't know about you, but in any type of slightly awkward situation, the first thing I reach for is my phone as I aimlessly scroll around in order to not look so awkward.

Even when I'm out with friends I find myself reaching for my phone during every spare minute. 

E.g
I HAVE JUST STUMBLED ACROSS A TRILOGY OF PHOTOS - ALL OF WHICH I APPEAR TO BE ATTACHED TO MY PHONE.




I assure you I remember that during that very moment I was in the middle of Instagramming a photo.. When I probably could've just been enjoying the view and my company. 

Even though I'm complaining about my lifestyle. I. Can't. Stop. I wish I could be one of those healthy go do-ers who get up at 6am and go for jogs and just live life without being consumed by TV shows and social media sites (like me lol). Perhaps my next new years resolution will be to become one of those health gurus (although my love for food that isn't fruit and veg will probably get in the way of that). As for now, I'm not going to make any promises I can't keep. But I will keep this post as an incentive to head towards a healthier lifestyle, less consumed by technology and social networking sites. 

W O w. that was a weird post and sorry if I annoyed you with my first world problems (if you even read this post rather than just looking at the photos)

// LORDE O MIGHTY //

O K. Concerts are actually life. I wouldn't hesitate in spending most of my money on concert tickets. Ahhhh dat feel you get in your chest when the bass beat is extra loud *mmmmmmmmmmm* 

Yesterday I went to Lorde's concert at Riverstage. just W O W. It was actually phenomenal. 

Before the concert Me and Anh went over to Zoe, Queenie and Myora's Suitcase Rummage section and sat with them for a bit. After that we met up with Seta and grabbed a bite to eat and also went to Myer because we wanted some dark lipstick HAHAHHAHA (ended up doing eyeliner there too) SAMPLES ARE THERE FOR A REASON OKAY. After that we took a few VERY NECESSARY moments to take selfies. Because...c'mon what's an event without an instagrammable selfie? (I may seem like I'm joking but I'm not...or am I?2?2?2?)

























I do hope we looked (soft) grunge enough. 

SAFIA was her opening act and they were amAZING. I just kept turning my head around and making eye contact with the people around me with an awe struck expression because I literally did not expect them to Be. That. Good. I'd previously listened to one of their songs on youtube and was like wooooahhh this band is seriously groovy. But hearing them live just cemented my love for their beatz. 



After SAFIA, there was a little break and we took a few cute polaroids hehehehe. (Sorry Sarah theres a flash on your face because of the angle this photo was taken at). 


When Lorde came out on stage the audience went pretty wild; and I must say her famous (often described as strange and perplexing) dance moves are actually amazing to watch live. LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. I don't understand how she puts that much passion and movement into her dance whilst maintaing even breathing throughout her performances. 

Here are some bad quality snaps from my phone because my hands were shaky and lighting wasn't that great. 







Right before she sung 'Ribs' she made a huge speech and talked about growing up and becoming an adult. I was literally like holy shit I can relate because I'm the same age as her. It still baffles me that she writes her own songs because her lyrics are pretty amazing. (My mum actually informed me on this) Ella's (Lorde) mum is a poet which was probably what encouraged and influenced her. AHH she's so talented. Whenever I see talented people who are my age or younger I feel so unaccomplished. Literally though...like what have I even done with my life. What even is my future. This blog post is getting a bit too dark for my liking (HA because my future isn't looking too bright HA) ANYWAYS IM GOING TO POST MORE SNAPS FROM LAST NIGHT.

She told everyone to hold up their cell phones and illuminate the area

During 'Team' the bass and beats just kept building up and there were flashing lights and beams and confetti aND IT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL :')

- AND FOR SOME REASON THE VIDEO WON'T LOAD ON THIS STUPID BLOGGING SITE SO I GUESS YOU DONT GET TO EXPERIENCE A SEIZURE AFTER SEEING MY MOVING CAMERA HAND AND FLASHING PURPLE LIGHTS AND OCCASIONAL SCREAMING CHOIRS BLASTING ON SURROUND SOUND - 

INSTEAD YOU GET A VERY FLURO LOOKING PHOTO



Overall it was a great concert experience and the weather was really good too unlike Ed Sheeran's concert which I will never forget...lining up 7 hours in the rain wearing ponchos and rain boots (<3 but it was also a magical experience <3)

// FUNKI //

Hey peeps.

My iPhoto application on my Laptop just crashed. So I have no idea where over 2000 of my photos have gone. I know they're somewhere on my laptop...but I'm yet to find them. 
I tried googling this but all the forums have long paragraphs that I'm really not in the mood to read. lol. 

Had a classic big family gathering at Yum Cha on Saturday. I don't know about you, but there always seems to be that one family that never arrives on time. THAT'S MY FAMILY. We're actually half an hour late to every single gathering; it's a bit concerning but - hey, at least we're consistent. 


My Cousins' unimpressed faces

After lunch Minnie, Tiffo and I went off shopping. I actually love the Indro shops now that all the renovations are done. Personally, I'd rather shop at Indro than in the city because there are so many more shops now. Also it's pretttttttyyyyyyyyyy.

So basically I discovered the best tasting tea ever. APPLE CRUMBLE. The way they brewed it at T2 was heavenly and both me and Minnie bought a box. I plan on making it tomorrow so hopefully it tastes just as good. Although my mum accidentally bought the wrong soy milk OH WELL hopefully it'll work just as well. 

da best

I also made a few other purchases so I'll just attach a couple of pictures.



Funki DOriii New Balances

velvet shirt for $9 I LOVE SALES


Okay my dad keeps yelling at my because he wants me to come downstairs and watch The Voice with him. I'll update my Lorde O heavenly experience in a separate blogpost later tonight because I have too many photos to choose from and also I think my dad is really desperate for me to watch The Voice Finals with him so

// SYDNEY //

I contemplated using the blogger app on my phone throughout my stay in Sydney but in the end I decided I would just give myself the dreadful task of trying to recount everything that happened the past week in Sydney when I got home. Which unfortunately is now (Well yesterday if we're being exact).

I'm going to look through my camera roll and hopefully it will refresh my mind because I honestly think I do suffer from short term memory loss like WHAT DID I HAVE FOR BREAKFAST TODAY. Okay that's a lie, because I do remember having oats for breakfast which was totally gross since I slept in and my dad left a bowl of it on the counter and it had dried up already. WOW IM REALLY GETTING OFF TOPIC.. nobody wants to know about my breakfast. OKAY IM GOING TO START SPEED RECOUNTING SYDNEY. I'M PROBABLY GOING TO TRY AND MAKE EVERYTHING SUPER BRIEF. But knowing me I'll probably talk about the most pointless things and accidentally leave out main events. oops #soznotsoz

DAY 1
So our flight was at 7 (ew). This meant that I had to wake up at 4:30am. (I'm not a morning person)


AT THE AIPORT. GOODBYE BRISBANE.
WON'T MISS YOU AT ALL.

(ps I suck at blogging and don't know how to put more than 2 photos in a row so bear with the weird layout of my blog)







At the airport train station we bought our transport passes for a week. We all bought the multi 3 pass as well as an airport train return ticket which was all up $84. It was pretty worth it considering the fact that we took a lot of public transport during our 5 day stay. (The ticket covered all transport)
After catching the airport train straight to central, we headed over to our accommodation. Took a quick snap outside central. 


ACCOMMODATION: We decided we really didn't need to spend much on accommodation seeing as most of our time would be spent out and about. So we stayed at YHA Sydney Central which is a youth hostel and only $39 a night (!yassssss!). H3H3H3 more money to spend on food and shopping!!! To be honest, I was expecting the worst when we arrived at the hostel; but it was surprisingly really good and clean and we actually had a really nice stay. Also the location of the Hostel was great in conjunction to the city centre. (literally situated opposite central station)  




The rooftop view was pretty amazing as well



We didn't get to meet up with Rahmee until the second day, so the first day was spent exploring and shopping in the city. We went to an outlet (forgot the name) and also walked along George Street and Broadway. One of my favourite shops was definitely Kinokuniya. It's a huge book store that sells a large range of art books as well as stationery.



DAY 2
FINALLY TIME TO SEE RAHMEE (AND HER HOUSE). The others were lazy bums and slept instead of coming with me and Zoe to see Rahmee's new house (YOU POO HEADS MISSED OUT BIG TIME)

On the train
Outside Rahmee's house



 After that we went back and met up with the others and then headed off to see USYD and Newtown.

A.S.S.R.A.Z REUNITED
The Sydney university grounds are breathtaking. The main building actually looked like a castle and I felt like I was walking through Hogwarts. The grass in the courtyards was so green - I just wanted to roll around in it (or stomp all over it).



NEW TOWN WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We spent a fair few hours exploring Newtown which is the West End of Sydney except 100x better.



We visited a pretty rad magazine store and ended up spending an hour in there. oops. 







This is us attempting to look like an album cover art
For dessert we had Gelato Messino and I also bought some macarons from Adrian Zumbo's dessert place (which were delissshhh)


YUMYUMYUMYUM
After dessert we took a late night Ferry ride down the harbour. It was super cold but we had the best time. Unfortunately Rahmee wasn't there with us because she had to go home early for Ramadam. BUT WE WERE THINKING OF YOU RAHMEE <3 <3




























DAY 3
HERE'S A PHOTO OF RAHMEE BECAUSE SHE LOOKS SUPER CUTE AND SUPER PRETTY. ILY RAHMEE YOU BETtER BE READING THIS. IF YOU'RE NOT READING THIS IT MEANS YOU LIED WHEN YOU SAID YOU KEEP UP TO DATE WITH MY BLOG. PS I actually look yuck in the right hand photo but look how photogenic Rahmee is. DAMN YOU







We went to the Powerhouse Museum then walked along the Harbour.













CAndid shots. Zoe waht r u doin.

After walking around we caught the train/ferry (I don't remember which) and made a visit to the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art). 




This reminds me of Finding Nemo :')

Sarah being an angelic bird
THE MCA


This large installation was one the first level and it was pretty cool. It gave the impression of being inside a moving bus and I actually felt as though the ground beneath me was moving. Most of the installations at the MCA involved video and animation.(Unfortunately I didn't take photos of most of them because I didn't exactly know how seeing as they were constantly changing. 

TRYING TO APPEAR DEEP IN
THOUGHT

THIS MIRROR THAT IS SEEN EVERYWHERE ON TUMBLR HA HA HA.

We had Pancakes on the Rocks for dinner mmmm
After dinner we went to Observatory hill A.K.A WHERE MULTIPLE SCENES IN DANCE ACADEMY WERE FILMED. The view was spectacular and the photo taken on my iPhone below seriously does not do the view justice. I do have some better quality photos on my camera but I cant be bothered to copy them onto my laptop right now. (sorry actually sorry)



DAY 4
Woohoo we went to Bondi Beach. First of all we visited the markets at Bondi Junction



























MMMM AVOCADOS, STRAWBERRIES AND FLOWERS. THREE OF MY FAVOURITES. 
We then caught a bus to Bondi beach and had a little picnic for lunch on the grassy hill overlooking the ocean. So scenic :')


Sarah looking angelic as usual
classic Zoe pose











group selfie

I took a panorama that ACTUALLY looks good
After Bondi me Anh and Sarah walked around the city and browsed for a bit. Apparently there was a NBA player at culture kings s there was a huge line. But we were like merrrrp. 
For dinner we met up with Chi and her friends and ate at this Italian (?) restaurant which was V nice. For dessert we went to this cute cafe close to our hostel and stayed there till they kicked us out because they were closing #lol



FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD

A fine snap of Seta and Sarah mid-argument




























We took quite a few polaroids that day.

DAY 5
Our last day in Sydney :(
We took a bus to Surry hills and spent a majority of the day there. Before lunch we visited Brett Whiteley's Studio. His artworks were amazing and it was great to walk through his work space. Unfortunately no photos were allowed in his studio so I don't have any photographs posted here. 

creepin on zoe
We then ate lunch at a really nice cafe called four.ate.five
The food was absolutely delicious. 

HAY SETA (entering the cafe)


We then went (window) shopping down the street but everything was hella expensive. We also stumbled across this paper shop which was AMAZING and I bought a poster from there because I just couldn't resist. 

Candid Zoe at the paper shop
Afterward we caught the bus to Oxford street and visited American Apparel and some other clothing shops. IT WAS FREEZING COLD AND SO WINDY. 

RAINBOWWWWW FLAAGZ
Our last stop was the memorial park and pool of reflection (except I couldn't even see my own reflection in the pool of reflection so perhaps Jaden Smith's infamous quote is true)



SETA WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS MISSING IN MY PHOTOS
SO THAT WAS IT FOR SYDNEY. I HAD AN ABSOLUTE BLAST AND IT FELT LIKE MORE/LESS THAN A WEEK. I DONT EVEN KNOW. IT WAS JUST AN AMAZING TIME. RAHMEEEEEE I ALREADY MISS YOU <3 YOU BETTER COME UP AND VISIT US IN OCTOBER. CANT WAIT FOR A.S.S.R.A.Z TO BE REUNITED YET AGAIN. 

peace owt
