I have so much free time, yet it doesn't REALLY feel like holidays. It's pretty difficult to coordinate schedules with everyone because of work rosters and people having OTHER friends. LIKE WHY DO YOU NEED OTHER FRIENDS WHEN YOU HAVE ME?!?! HA.

I started watching The Mindy Project. YOU GUYS, seriously, it's my favourite show right now. After writing this blog post, I'm probably going to binge watch the rest of season 1 and maybe 'accidentally' start watching season 2. If I do start season 2, I probably won't be getting any sleep tonight. JUST BEING REAL WITH MYSELF.

I went to the new house with my dad for building inspections and the owners left their dogs at the house for the day AND THEY'RE JUST THE CUTEST THINGS EVER. At one point one of the dogs went missing and my mum was like FUQ WE CAN'T LOSE THEM, but turns out he/she was hiding in one of the upstairs rooms.

WICKED. Jo got one of those fisheye clip ons and I'm thinking of ordering one. This'll probably cause me to further neglect my actual fisheye lens and camera in favour of my phone camera. 

Demi is coming to Aus next year 

hello this is not a drill

oh wow total-candid-not-posing-photo of me ordering an ice chai
ALSO WOW WTF MY SOCK TAN

The new Garden City and is seriously nice! The exterior food court looks amazing....almost too good. I felt as though I wasn't in Brisbane because LET'S BE REAL, Brisbane doesn't get nice things. Lol #realtalk.

how serene (off note: I miss watching Gossip Girl)

cute lil bumpkin pumkins

Finally met with Jess after 6 months! Farm girl is back :) I also caught up with a bunch of friends I haven't seen in a while and we had dinner at Kinn Thai restaurant. It was pretty funny because 4 of us ended up ordering the same thing: Chicken Pad Thai. (1/4 was me)

SO pretty much all I've been doing for the past week is eating and going to the movies. I've realised that I actually watch too many movies and SO MUCH money has been spent on going to the cinemas. I mean I own a friggen Cinebuzz VIP card. Also I have a dorky habit of collecting most of my movie tickets.

This pile of tickets represents over $500 spent on movies oops

Mockingjay Part 1.There was so much hype around the release and I was genuinely quite excited. The movie itself was still good because come on, it's THE HUNGER GAMES. But it was actually a bit uneventful (in my opinion)and I guess that's because everything is leading up to the main war that'll happen in the second movie. ALso hello Natalie Dormer. 

Love Rosie. I'd been looking forward to this for a while now (and no it wasn't JUST because they played the 1975 in the trailer). The movie was really cute and one of those classic romance chick flicks, WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE. I CAN'T HELP IT. I'm one of THOSE people.

Interstellar. If you haven't watched it yet GO WATCH IT NOW. It was so mindfucking amazing and also crazy confusing - HALF THE TIME I WAS LIKE I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON BUT I'M LOVING IT. I'm still slightly confused with everything that happened, especially towards the end. However, that might have had something to do with the fact that I needed to pee during the last half an hour of the movie and couldn't really concentrate properly on what was going on. 

Pride. OKAY SERIOUSLY THOUGH, this was just an amazing 10/10 movie. IT WAS AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER-COASTER. There were so many touching moments that made me SO sad and happy at the same time. Me and Ling both cried like 3 times during the movie IT WAS V EMOTIONAL OKAY. I don't even know if it was the happy or sad type of crying it was just EMOTIONS.

I found this movie poster outside the cinemas and couldn't resist taking a photo standing next to it. Guys, this is the next movie I'm starring in. ANNIE (featuring Annie). 

ANYWAYS WOW it's almost 2am and I was meant to finish season 1 of THe Mindy Project before I went to bed so LATAHS.

PS THIS IS A NICE LIVE PERFORMANCE CLICK HERE

SO CAN WE ALL AGREE THAT QUEENSLAND WEATHER IS SERIOUSLY NOT OKAY? IT'S NOT EVEN SUMMER YET?! Although there are some perks of the impending summer season that does make me feel better about battling the Australian heat. 

FRUIT SEASON. Okay so working in a fruit shop means I ACTUALLY notice the different fruit seasons and summer is literally the BEST in terms of providing me with the fruits that I absolutely LOVE.

I MEAN WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?

Watermelon, Rockmelon, ALL TYPES OF MELON, Berries (YUS Strawberries Blueberries, Rasberries, BERRIES BERRIES BERRIES), Mangoes, ALSO A FEW OF MY FAVS: Apricots, Nectarines, Peaches, Plums & Cherries (love me some sweet stone fruits)

GET KEEN FOR FRUIT SALADS AND MAKING SMOOTHIES AND EATING FROZEN FRUITS THIS SUMMER.

STORY OF THE DAY/WEEK/MONTH: Zoe and I went to JB HI FI to buy some polaroid film. The guy at the store could not believe his ears when we told him we were on uni holidays. He was like 'UNI NO WAY NO YOU GUYS LOOK TOO YOUNG FOR THAT'. We were like 'O naht sure if insult or compliment' HAHAHA. Honestly HOW DO PEOPLE IN GRADE 6 LOOK OLDER THAN ME ALREADY? WHAT IS HAPPENING? I hope this means that when everyone is old and getting wrinkles I'll still be looking 10 years younger than I am and then I can be like HA~HA~HA.

Polaroid of a lame person wearing a lame hat

Ever since I got my iPhone, I've neglected my poor Nikon :( I gave my Nikon a few seconds of lovin' with my lil fish eye lens (which is actually not so lil, it's kindA hEAVY)
Snap-a-daKTAL here are a couple of snapshots. 

ya wot

she looks like she's about to fall off the bed

I finally popped down to GoMA to look at the current exhibitions. Gotta love the kids section m8. The interactive kids centre is always my favourite even though I'm not a kid anymore :( But seriously, doesn't this animated collage remind you of D.W from Arthur? And by that, I mean the hair and body NOT my face lel.

Priceline was having a 40% off sale for most cosmetics so AMIHAN DRAGGED ME WITH HER but then I ended up buying a whole heap of stuff. ALL YOUR FAULT AMIHAN. TECHNICALLY I saved a whole heap of money since I got it whilst it was on sale and Georgia (local leg) was working.

(I've been really obsessed with this song and was listening to it on repeat whilst 'attempting' to write my essay last weekend. Listening to music was probably a bad idea lmao but ANNIEDED something to keep me from falling asleep. This gif is an accurate representation of me awkwardly dancing around to my music whilst trying to string together coherent sentences and write something that aCtUaLlY made sense)

*EXHALE* I can finally relax and put my feet up (literally) because I HAVE FINISHED ALL UNI ASSESSMENTS FOR THIS YEAR. 

HAHAHA look at my toes in this photo

Although this year brought many stressful moments and MY FIRST WHITE HAIR, I can proudly say that I'M STILL SANE. SO YAY ME. I have officially finished my first year of architecture :) Despite the occasional miniature breakdowns leading up to DESIGN due dates, I have enjoyed this year A LOT and met many new people that share the same interests/passion as me :) :)chEERS TO THAT.

I'm sUper keen for the next 3 and a half months of holidays. Although right now I'm honestly still in recovery mode because the past few weeks have kind of completely DRAINED me. I feel as though being in the studio really changes my personality along with everyone else's as well. There is no such thing as acting 'normal' after sitting in the studio for more than 5 hours. TRUST ME I WOULD KNOW. Throughout the past year I have found myself falling off chairs, speed-wheeling around the studio, hysterically laughing for long periods of time, snapping pieces of balsa wood as a form of therapy, as well as gaining injuries caused by studio doors, hot glue guns, paper, wire and Stanley knives.

LEL FUTURE ARCHI KIDS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. (Also why are Stanley knives called Stanley knives? Was it named after someone called Stanley?!? I MEAN imagine having a knife named after you. ANNIE KNIFE. nope not feeling it.)

>>>

I've just realised that now I'm free I HAVE SO MUCH TIME. WHAT DO I EVEN DO? Now I can't use 'uni' as an excuse to NOT do things. FOr example, over the past year I have accidentally neglected reading my books. I've still kept up the habit of buying them and adding to my collection BUT I HAVEN'T COME AROUND TO EVEN TAKING ANY OFF MY BOOKSHELF AND OPENING UP THE COVERS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME BECAUSE I USED TO READ SO MUCH. I think it has something to with my heightened addiction to the internet. O WELL, this holidays I definitely plan on getting ma nerd on. These are the books I've yet to read; I plan on getting through half of them (that's realistic right) in the next 3 months. Unless I accidentally spend all my time watching TV shows (I'm going to start supernatural oh boy 10 seasons aka 200 hours of MY LIFE)

oops i've been a lazy bitch this past year

>>>

I've also decided it's really time to get back into art and actually DO STUFF. I'm in need of arts and crafts therapy; although, we'll see if I pull through considering the fact that I'm really good at making these types of empty promises to myself. 

I really enjoy working with black ink paper and pigmented pens. IDK there's just something about it. Here's what I've been finishing up over the past couple of days. 

lol white finger print at the bottom

White pencil is bitch because it actually smudges.
I need to buy some of that stay-spray.

I'll probably move onto some larger scale projects next week, but right now I'm in that post-assignment-hand-in state of euphoria where I just feel like lying on my bed and doing nothing at all. Which is exactly what I did today. 

>>>

I also wanted to say: I've been seeing all of these graduating high school posts on Facebook recently and it's kinda snapped me into reality becAUSE THIS WAS ME, LAST YEAR. An entire year has passed and not only am I now a university student, I'm also now no longer a 'first year' student. It'll only be a matter of time before everyone I know is (hopefully) graduated and working and just DOING THINGS. Some of us might even be married and have kids and IT'S JUST ALL SO CRAZY BECAUSE I STILL FEEL LIKE I'M FIVE. But the facts are: in 7 years time I will be 25. Add another 5 years to that and i'll be 30. THIRTY. I feel as though I'm hurdling through time and soon enough I'm going to be hitting menopause. 

IT'S 1AM - IM NOT READY TO HAVE A MINI EXISTENTIAL CRISIS SO GOODNIGHT THIS IS WHERE THE BLOG POST ENDS.

peace owt
