It's a little bit of a tradition that whenever Viv and I travel, we will always source out a decent place for Dim Sum. Here's some snaps of my favourite dishes from our last dim sum sesh.

Summer Goals

Three exams yet to be completed and five days until chilled cider can be enjoyed on the beach. And then, three months of uninterrupted summer bliss. So many things to be achieved, dreams to be be checked off. We are the ones that let them come true. Let's get to it.

Sporadic blog posts ftw. It's mainly because I haven't taken my camera out in about a month, due to exams and Viv being in Sydney for the past couple of weeks. I've just been hibernating away, studying and watching heaps of television. Only another week and everything will be over.

Yesterday I took a well deserved break (not really deserved at all) from my non-existent study and went on the hunt to buy some uber cool boys clothes for my boyfriend (he has about 3 shirts which he alternates between, and two pairs of jeans both with holes in them...) I ended up buying myself some guys shirts from General Pants too (seriously, the skater tomboy thing is still running through my veins). I really can't resist leaving General Pants empty handed, it's like some sort of crime or something. The first two shirts were raglans (2 for $50!), which I've wanted since I started skating. Technically I'm supposed to be sharing them with him, but whatever, they are amazing. He actually bought some really cool cheap monday chinos and a pair of jeans which look really nice. The other shirt I bought was this Arvust yellow, white and blue striped organic cotton shirt (pictured) which is actually the most comfiest thing ever and fits really nicely. I've also been needing glasses for the majority of this year now, but kinda procrastinated getting them as they really make me look like a downright hipster. But after studying for these exams, I've realised that the actual health of my eyes is probably more important than caring what people think haha.

Love is a temporary madness

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being ‘in love’ which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.

Study study

I've been a lazy blogger, haven't really been doing anything all too interesting besides studying. I saw Norwegian Wood last week and I didn't love or hate it. I was planning on reading the book before the film, but I just ran out of time and it was about to leave the cinemas. I think when I saw it I was tired and in a bit of a crappy mood, plus it was really long so I lost a bit of concentration. I'll have to rewatch again in the holidays. I've bought so many freaking books over the past month that I just don't have a spare second to even consider reading them. I have to start sticking to the rule of, no buying of new books until all of the last ones have been read. I really can't see that happening anytime soon though.
