It's possible that for the first time, the one week holiday I recently went on felt like it went for at least 2 which was splendid. I decided I should do something good and fun and adventurous for my 21st, and so we jet-setted down to Melbourne–Rachel, Caitlin and I.
My internet friend of 8 years–Ivana–showed us some hot spots. Although I had stomach cramps for the most part of the trip, it didn't bring down the happy vibe (I'm contemplating taking some tests to see whether I have an intolerance to fructose, as it seems it was brought on after I devoured a big mumma slice of my salted caramel dream cake and persisted with every other sweet I ingested like the Lindt hot chocolate).
$2 pizzas at Lucky Coq and $1 tapas at Naked for Satan, now those sorta bargains for food is what makes me a happy girl. Monday we trekked around the Dandenong ranges and had some hot tea and lunch. Tuesday was facial day and Chapel St. Wednesday, King Kong (amazing) and Oriental Tea House visit with me smelling a bit like a brewery after the 2 cocktails at The Regent. Sadly that was all that could be spent in Melbourne town, with an early flight back to Brisbane Thursday morning.
Zac and I went for dinner at Govindas, followed by a skate down the bicentennial bike path that night to drop Charissa off her phone charger at work. I WANT A SKATEBOARD!
Friday night was A Day to Remember, Saturday morning breakfast at Brew w/ Kaffe, Dead of Winter festival that night again with Kaffe, with an early morning flight back home on Sunday.
Oh and I got my hair done too while I was away, full head of foils. Journey to going light brown/ dark blonde. Thankfully I decided to take this route whilst I had my natural colour still. All those years of dying my hair black, thank fuq that's over cause that would be a bitch to attempt bleaching.
This time next year I will hopefully be a qualified graphic pre-press tradesperson, and will have enough money to go overseas. Japan is on my mind! And the UK & USA. Ultimately moving to Melbourne with Rachel to get a job live it up and save to travel more.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S LESS THAN 6 MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS WHERE HAS THIS YEAR GONE??
