Sneaky Trip to Mexico.

So I haven't exactly been keeping up to date with the blog over the holidays, but since it's back to uni, I'm sure I'll be back to posting up daily in no time.

I've just returned from spending a week in Melbourne, and it's been pretty amazing. I never usually took much notice or interest in the city, other than for its shopping, but this trip opened my eyes to a another world of food, fashion, nightlife and architecture. What Sydney lacks in aesthetics and culture, somewhat gets consumed by Melbourne. Unless of course it's Summer, than Sydney is in a class of its own.

Dog Days are /unofficially/ Over!

There's no better feeling than the lifting of the exam burden off your sleep-deprived shoulders and frazzled brain. Well, if you want to nit pick, I may still have a supplementary exam to sit, but that's for me to find out in the days to come; so Until then, FREEDOM! (and the reminiscing of Summer as Sydney continues to freeze over)

The Getaway

Australia Day weekend is always one of my favourite holidays of the year. For the past 4 years, me and my close friends have always spent the Sunday partying to my favourite DJ, Kaskade, but unfortunately this year, he decided to take a break and give Sydney a miss for Brazil! (We still love you, Kaskade!)

Instead the hubby's family and I decided to go up the coast for a few days of R&R. I loved every minute of it... Catching up on some good Summery weather, fishing; basically spending quality time with the honourary family. It was sad to come back to work on a gloomy day.

On a lighter note, one month till it's back to uni, so at least there's still time to savour what's left of the holidays! Good Vibrations '10 is fast approaching!

Hope everyone had a wicked weekend!

Summer's Best

It's been a jam-packed fun-filled weekend. Definitely one to remember.

My weekend kicked off with lazy lunch catch up with one of my besties watching some funny flicks, while we waited for the weather to clear up; followed by an evening of catching The Temper Trap at the Enmore. The show was fucking amazing, the lights.. the songs.. everything. The lead singer, Dougy's, voice is ridiculous - you definitely don't hear guys reach notes like he does! They're my pick for one of my favourite bands of the year and will surely see them going even further.
Then.... a few of us caught up with other friends for a birthday party. It was a big contrast coming from an indie gig to an R&B party, but R&B will always get me - no other genre (maybe except house and electronica) can amp me up for a dance like DJs can! We partied till the 200 degree heat inside the upper levels of the club got too much to handle.

Saturday was great. My boyfriend and I got caught some sun and a quick swim down at the beach and set off for an afternoon/evening of more birthday festivities. If I could sum up Saturday with one word, it would be buzzed. Loved it.

Sunday, let me think... It was another scorching day of around the 30 degree mark, so my family decided to have a picnic - fun times. We banqueted and watched the boys play footy. We unfortunately had to rush off to the boy's brothers' beach birthday bbq and there we feasted on more food and ducked down to the beach for another quick dip and a soaking up of the wonderful sun!


GOTTA LOVE SUMMER DOWN UNDER.
