16 Celcius :)

Please don't come, winter! I beg of you!

Sigh. As much as I'd love the weather to stay cool forever, I think I'd be even more worried if winter really doesn't ever come. Global warming is such a quick-moving beast, it's scary.

I've become much of a poser as of late huh? Okay, I've always been a bit of a poser..just not publicly. This is fun though. It's nice when you get exactly the pictures you wanted, while unnecessarily documenting what you wore. Anyway, my readership has been dwindling so it's mostly for my eyes! Quite a relief :)

I'm really enjoying Chictopia.com so far. Lookbook.nu is super exclusive and I feel so rejected that I still haven't gotten an invite despite registering ages ago. Hmph! I don't need you, Lookbook!

"You are past-orientated."

That's how a personality test once described me. And it hit the nail right on the head. I am indeed someone who looks back on the past a lot. Not in regret, but in deep gratitude and joy.

I'm a walking paradox I think. I want to move forward so badly because I have all these hopes and dreams that I'm aiming for yet at the same time, I want to be a little girl again, hopping about frivolously without a care in the world. I love every memory I had as a child growing up. Some are especially distinct, some not so much. I wish I could be Peter Pan sometimes. But then again, where's the fun in never growing up? See, I am a paradox.

University life (student life, technically!) is about to end for me in a mere 9 weeks, give or take. And then what? Every 'next step' prior to this has always been so certain, so straight-forward. Kindergarten, primary school, secondary school, college and then uni. Voila. Not much thought necessary. I already have my goals engraved deeply into my mind. The pathway to those goals however, I'm not so sure. I guess it's just something I'll work out along the way. It's always comforting to know that He is there though. In every decision, in every circumstance, there is no need for fear. (just ample trust!)

I'm excited for what's ahead. I really am. Somewhere deep down, I know I have all the makings of a successful woman. Charisma, wisdom, independence. All just waiting to be honed to their full potential.

So let's see where my parodoxical feet take me.

Transplant.

I am Coco Channel stuck in the body of Adam Smith.

Only I am not even close to being half as cool as Coco herself. And for those of you who don't know, Adam Smith was an economist.

I Be Gangsta'

Dress (worn under): thrifted; cardigan: Forever 21; belt: mom's; shoes: Duchess; handbag: Guess.

In honour of the most beautiful woman I know,

I asked her for sexy/pouty...she gave me gangsta.


And then I asked her for gangsta and she gave me....this.

HAHA. This is how my mother poses with her new "wayfarers".

Daijobu!

It feels lonely here now that my parents have left. I miss their silly quirks and everything else adorable about them :)

Sometimes, I think it's best to just not visit me at all.

**************************************************

On a side note! I dreamt that I was at my graduation ceremony..and it was an extremely disorganised one. It was my turn to go up to collect my cert, but I realised that I didn't have my gown on because my dad was parading around in it! What a disaster.

Random much?

3 More Inches

Went to DFO with my parents for some guilt-free shopping. (Win!) Lovely weather aye, mate?!

I reckon my maxi adds at least 3 inches to my height. (Double win!)

Maxi; thrifted at Camberwell. Bunny bag; loan from sis-in-law. I wish I didn't have to wear those flip-flops and that I had some accessories on. But that's how it is when you're temporarily living out of your suitcase :)

Always had an interest in doing outfit posts on my blog but for some reason I never got to it. Part shy, part lazy. And part "noone-to-take-photos-for-me". But maybe I'll do it more from now on. *Steal brother's tripod*

Mommy and Daddy's Girl. So What?!

I'm lovin' my weekend! Am at my brother's place in Berwick, with my parents who are visiting :) I love having them around to chum-chum (Don't ask me what that means. I don't really know either, I just made it up but I think it sounds apt and filled with meaning. Ironically) with.

Took some shots around my brother's. I can't wait to decorate my own house in the future! I hope I have enough funds to realise all these ideas I have. One thing I'm definitely going to need, a 'creativity room'. A room I can escape to, that I can design however I like. Where I can start projects...and end them after I get bored. Yes yes, that is a must :)

Went about town of course. HarHar at my dad's eyes.

Barbeque at Shoya. Yums. Yet another reason why it's awesome having your folk around. Say buh-bye to sucky home-cooked food!
