COPING

When it gets busy in life, once in a while, like now, I would pause and start to think about everything that is going on right now. It’s quite an overwhelming feeling knowing you have a lot of things you would like to do and have gone ahead to do it. But sometimes, you do question yourself, “Can I really do all these?” That’s the problem with a workaholic I guess. And I don’t know if the outcome would be pleasant if something f*s up. 

With lesser time and a tighter schedule, I suddenly feel the distance between me and the people around me. or perhaps its my insecurities that I have from time to time. 

I wish there was more hours in a day.

SUNKISS

A day in Dandenong*

Thanks to Eunice for wanting to check out Dandenong so badly, my boyfriend and I tagged along for a mini day trip into the suburbs with the Lygon girls.

We drove up to Skyhigh Mout Dandenong and the view was spectacular! 

We headed over to a Lavender Farm, although we were rather disappointed to discover it wasn’t in season! *Sigh. But thankfully, they had some winter lavenders so it wasn’t fully a wasted trip. We managed to try Lavender sweets, which were…..rather interesting, we felt as though we were sucking on toilet refreshners. hahaha.

We headed to a little town around the area for lunch and decided to check out Miss Marple’s Tea Room.

Loved the interior, especially with so many pretty teapots and China! However, service wised not that fantastic. 

On the way, I stumbled upon my paradise! A shop filled with gorgeous tea pots, in all different shapes and sizes!!

Work is piling. Help. 

 

BUSYBEE

I met up with Siyin and Andrea over the weekend to enjoy some fresh air away from the bustling city of Melbourne, which led us to this amazing small ‘hut’ along the Yarra called Kanteen. Although the food was relatively okay for me, I was absolutely in love with us having breakfast along the banks of the Yarra river on a sunny day away from any distractions. 

Thanks again you two for the pressie! Love it!

After 4 weeks of school, my workload is piling up and after writing down all my assignment deadlines on a piece of paper, I suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed. Not to mention, for the very first time, I have decided to be ambitious (perhaps overly ambitious?) to keep myself busy with other activities. Not sure how well I’ll be able to cope or manage, but nonethless, I am keeping a positive mind and hopefully this semester will be an absolutely fruitful one

JOIN ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

Certainly an unforgettable celebration…

Thanks once again for company
