"Enjoy your massive cup of Coffee XD"

I had a wonderful time yesterday with Jennifer as I always do. We started our day off at 8.30 and trained our way to the city where we had breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien. Jenn ordered a long black that came out the size of a soup bowl and I had an Organic Strawberry Lemonade which was yummy. We chatted on and on about anything and everything.

After we decided it was about time that maybe we should leave the cafe as we had been sitting there for well over an hour being quite loud, we started to head over to Paddington for Magnolia Square. Although it was smaller than Jenn had expected, there were things that caught our eye. I really wanted a red crochet heart pin, but I couldn't buy it, so sad. We ended up buying a few hair clips, buttons and gift tags.

The rest of the day was spent wondering the city, looking for new shoes for me (because mine were giving me blisters), drinking coffee and tea at Starbucks then heading back to the train station so that we could head home and get my car (not before Jenn got this oh so amazing hair pin that she had been longing for for so long :))

We ended the night at Coogee beach reminiscing about our high school years and watching kids play on the beach and thinking back to when we were young like them. We had fun with a shy little boy that liked to tease us by not saying much, but constantly walking near us and smiling cheekily.

Wish I wasn't Where I am

So...I'm back in Australia...Just as I had left it...gray skies and job-less.

I really don't want to go back to the kitchen, but at the moment I don't know what else to do neither. I'm not ready to go back to work, but I know I can't not work. I need money, I can't be asking my mum for money like I used to do when I was a teenager. Things have changed.

Must be this weather, because everything feels sucky.

On a different note. I got a haircut yesterday. Its dramatically short. I really had no idea what sort of hair style I wanted, I just wanted a change. When I do have a photo of my new hair (I'm not the type to take a self portrait of themselves) I will post it up here.

Valentines day was spent with Miss Jennifer, as my darling had to work (poor guy, seems like its gunna be like this for a while, then he'll be off for his trip to Vietnam. I better get used to not seeing him much now). As always its a great catch up, we never change, still laughing at each other and eating. Though there was nothing Valentiney at all that night, it was a nice girls night out. As usual we drove around into the wee hours of the next morning. (and my car made it through the night, yeah!).

Speaking of cars. Its about time that I get a new one. So yeah, hopefully soon Neeeeeeeeew Caaaaaaaaaaaar for me. Stoked.

Small Update.

I'm all safe and well here in Vietnam and will be returning in a weeks time. As you can see in these photos, I am happy (I even get to ride Dinosaurs, thats cool). So currently really really hungry and waiting for my aunt to come back from the markets with Banh Canh! ah so craving that. I've been drinking lots and lots of sugar cane juice and coconut juice, as many people know, I love that stuff. and here, its straight off the tree, amazing. I do occassionally get mistaken as a chinese person, oh how that happens in the birth country of my parents, I simply don't understand. I spend most of my time here eating, sleeping (a LOT) and travelling around on motorbikes. Super fun and super exhausting.

Missing everyone. Sorry for the lack of contact as facebook is blocked in Vietnam and I can't reply any comments and messages left on there. I can't wait to come home and catch up with everyone..though dreading job hunting again, but now I'm completely broke I have no choice. Lots of Love to all. Hope you all had an amazing Lunar New Year as I did (though I do miss the crackers, they banned those here a long time ago). Peace.

Good Morning Vietnam
