First Halloween Party Ever!
And, just an 1hr before I went out, she said I have to dress up for it!! How was I supposed to decide who I was going to be and what I would be wearing. It was insane and I started googling for 'last minute halloween costumes'. Well, I went through some websites and thought that the idea of looking like a rubix cube, and walking around town in it wasn't my kind of Halloween fun.
Thus, I decided to go as 'Katy Perry', I tried doing her makeup but I exaggerated the eyeshadow a little. I didn't think I look like her AT ALL! I started rummaging through my drawer and found an elastic headband that Kaman got me as a surprise pressie. I thought I looked rather innocent in it! I finally was able to wear my London fash berry dress after THREE MONTHS!
Well, I ordered the dress online, and thought that I needed a nudie. But it seems like Halloween wanted me to take it out for a six block walk. Anyway, the DJ was terrible and they didn't play the type of music we like though.
Nevertheless, great company, great night out! Pics will be up tmr! May you receive lots of tricks and treats this Halloween!

Charlotte Moving On
Seems like it's the season for marriage. Well, she was kinda shocked at first but then again who was she to talk about love now? With hers poofing up into the air just awhile back! She knows it does takes a lot of effort to remain in one. Loving, caring, talking, doing things together, surprises here and there, and the list could go on and on. But all these have one thing in common - They have to be constant. Belle wonders if she's a Samantha after all when she thought she was a Charlotte. Belle hopes to find her prince charming to settle down and live comfortably. Then, they'll have kids and grow old together, and see them get married and settled. It does feel like a cycle, doesn't it?
She used to think that her relationship was the mightiest, strongest and God-sent, since she, among all friends had the longest partner ever. Perhaps her arrogance led herself to spiral down hill into the black hole of complacency, or the extreme of couple - narcissistic. Yeah, she's feeling miserable, miserable that they had to give up all the love in the world to fulfill their own selfishness. She wondered on how could a relationship sustain then without going through the cycle of consistent love? And if they do, would it be out of pure love or obligation?
Each time she listens to Henry Mancini's Moon River, the lyrics that goes, "where ever you're going, I'm going your way." To her, it meant both lovers, or someone who is out to see the world. She could never understand how someone could follow a perfect stranger till the end of time, till they lose themselves completely and embrace the other fully. She tends to have a lil Samantha in her, who calls out when she's about to enter into something deep. Something so deep that it might shake her core of stability. Then, Sam, who calls out to tell her about the many possibilities of not going into a hole, because the longer she digs, the deeper she goes.
And so, the hole did arrived some time back. What should belle do? Should she ignore Sam and enter the hole, work hard at digging it and hoping to find some treasures along the way?

My Huckleberry Friend
You see, Melbourne doesn't have a steady flow of sunshine, so these two days have been very important for - Laundry! Gosh, I talked about putting the laundry out more often than anything else. I would say the damp clothes caused my severe skin rash, and not the cold and dry weather. Thus, the fussy potsy housemate. AND YES, I finally bought my Sex And The City: Deluxe Collection! I saw it last year around november, and I wanted to get it. But I wasn't feeling that rich to get it yet, and so I waited for it.
Yes, you've got me.
I wanna get my black crop top and a nude bra, why is it so hard to find one? W/o the nude bra, I can't wear my berry dress that I bought THREE LONG MONTHS back! I've been hunting for them for some time, and it seems impossible to find one that is of good quality. Why isn't there any Triump store here?

The Chillax Period
I've been entertaining myself lately with food. Indeed, life has become a little slow paced after the end of semester and I don't wish to be rotting and doing nothing at home. Yeah, Ernest Hemmingway had been a good company for a while, and so did SS's sonnets. Well, I find myself browsing at Nigella's websites most of the time, and decided to spend some time with food. I guess I'm pretty lucky to have grown up in a family where we, as kids are supposed to help out in the kitchen when the family is cooking. Food surrounds our life, and I guess that is why I, or my entire family have a good taste for food. I'm still trying out my cooking/baking skills, and hopefully in time to come, it'll taste like my granny's!
Anyway, J and I went to check out a japanese restaurant at docklands, but I think he wanted to take his other date out!
Here's Kobe Jones!
Making good use of Canon! haha
Chocolate Chopsticks
At Max Brenner, their waffles are so addictive!
Spare me, my shutterbug was acting up!

Yesterday was the last day of school! I haven't gotten a chance to update since the last post, because of assignments. But i'm free for now! I only have 1 paper on the 15th of November, and I'll be heading to my sis's place with Janet and John for two weeks! =D
The pictures of my Sydney have been posted on Facebook, so I guess most of you have seen it. I indulge so much when I was there, made new discoveries and gained experiences that I wouldn't have back in SG. I would think that studying overseas has given me freedom in doing things that I want to do. I feel that I'm no longer trapped in that lil bubble that prohibited me to gain new insights, try new stuff, go for adventures, and be so much more independent.
Anyway, you wouldn't believe that I went for Adam Lambert's concert just three nights ago. Well, J's mum is the biggest fan of Adam that I've ever seen in my life, or any artist for that matter. The Melbourne's concert was her fifth in catching Adam, she is 63 years old and she still does what she likes. She went to US to catch him, supported him at SG'S F1 Grand Prix, and on wednesday, she flew up to Sydney to be with her daughter and went for the Sydney's concert as well. She is so healthy and fit that she'd rather walk around the city than take a tram. I was her guide for a day and to be honest, my legs were yelling out for them to take a break. It felt really good cause it kinda felt that I was with my mum. Young at heart.
ALSO! Janet will be heading down to Melbourne and we'll be heading to Brisbane together!!! =) I'm so happy that I'm going to see her after four months. I can't wait, no words can express the excitement I have!
Sydney Pictures
Me and Sue Ann, our first night in Sydney
The Guylian Chocolate Cafe - I've always love the chocs, but I never knew they had a cafe!
Marshmallow Man
To Hunter Valley for some wine tasting.
We had the seafood platter at Sydney Fish Market
At Blue Mountains
J got a white horse! and I got what they described, 'an enlarged pony'! I hated it when they throttle, it was so painful!! 30mins was fine, but 120mins was bad for the butt. But I had so much fun on the horse, we walked through Blue Mountains, climbed up and down steep slopes. Great experience!
OH YES, AND I'LL BE BACK ON THE 7TH OF DECEMBER!

1/10 of Sydney
I had such a good time in Sydney, and I would love to blog about the beautiful places that I've been. I want to tell you guys how insanely fun horse riding at Blue Mountains was! The seafood that I had was incredibly delicious and fresh. But I'm too choked up with six assignments to do a full post on it.
