So I recently started an interior design course. Which I just love love love. For the first time ever, studying does not feel like such a chore, or some sort of torture designed to drive me completely mad.
I finished my first subject with flying colours with a perfect grade 100/100 and this for my over-achieving nerdy self sent me giddy with pride! : ) Although I do have to mention that my first subject was 'How to Operate a Personal Computer', so it actually wasn't all too hard even for a techo-challenged person like myself.
In any case, I sent through an assignment today for my Design Principle course by snail mail. I swear as I was sealing the envelope I got all nervous about what marks/feedback I would get. Fingers crossed... I am secret-ing another stellar mark.

Sydney love x
Sydney is seriously one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Whilst I have been living here all my life, I will never tire of pretending to be a tourist and camera-whoring around the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge morning to night.
I could think of no better weekend spent, then to walk around Circular quay, stop off at the Intercontinental for tea and just chill on a gorgeous autumn day with my favourite boy.
We also took a peda-cab around the city for 20 minutes. It was just such a perfect day. aaawwww...

My new love.
My brother and his lovely gf just got back from the Hunter last weekend bearing gifts, gifts of the best kind. In addition to the gorgeous case of wine they brought back for me, they introduced me to my new love...
It is the most unbelievable, delectable, amazingly delicious cheese ever! Move over brie, get out of the way blue cheese! Labna, I lab you so. You are so lab-ley. I want to marry you hahahahah
LABNA. Holy moly. Where have you been all my life?

Winter Blues
I am seriously freezing my knockers off and if I had balls I'm pretty sure they too would've frozen off by now.
It's only the 8th day of winter and it pains me to say that there are 84 more days left and its inevitably going to get colder.
Holy-shitface. I've been living in Sydney most my life and I would have thought that I'd be used to the benumbing temperatures of winter by now. I whine about it to the pomos at work and they keep telling me that our winter is summer compared to the UK weather, like that's supposed to make me feel better... I don't care what it's like in our mother-land, I'm in Sydney and I'm fucking freezing.
My cold-threshold is zero. My body is in shock. I find myself wanting to pee every 10 minutes cause I'm so cold. I have to walk around our place in two pairs of trackies, two pairs of socks, a singlet, a longsleeve another longsleeve and a jumper. Layers of warmth, my armour against my enemy- Winter. Also, my boy is always uncannily (if that's a word) hot (maybe he's a werewolf), so I snuggle up to him every second I get. I rub my freezing cold feet on him and if I scratch him by accident- he tells me to get my tree-climber feet away from him. hahaha But this is my favourite way to combat the cold. Unfortunately I can't bring him around with me everywhere I go.
At least the sun has come out to play. Second to the cold, I completely loathe the rain.
Oh woe is me. Winter. Its bullshit.

Friday MasterClass.
I love how on Masterchef, Masterclass all the contestants are forced to make comment on the judges dish and they all try to say something about 'how something or other really brings out the flavour' and all seem to agree on how great the judge chef cooks. If that were me, I would love to just outright say 'this tastes like shit' and watch the greek or english dude just lose his nut hahaha.
On another note, why I'm at home on a Friday night watching masterclass, switching to 'Better homes and gardens'? I don't know... but I've learnt 2, no 3 very important lessons.. sugar retards the rice, you can substitute agar agar with gelatin and the greek judge chef dude shakes a lot when he talks.

I miss me...
So I have been ridiculously busy at work, trying to fit time for study, dance, family, friends, my bf and most important of all for my sanity- me... Time which I seriously miss right now.
Being so spreadly thin, makes me extremely unhappy. Equilibrium needs to be restored somehow. On top of it all its getting cold and the rain has been persistent. This whether sucks balls... Also another thing dampening my spirits....
Perhaps I am also feeling this way given the crazy week. I believe I had my first chest pain as a result of stress the other day at work... I can't believe I give that much of a shit. I've had stress headaches and a few sleepless nights in the past. I thought in the last 2 years I'd become quite resilient and mostly take things in stride. But for whatever reason, there it was... I thought I was having a heart attack.When I got home I realised that I need to take a chill fucking pill. I considered drinking a bottle of red and realised we're out of my fave.
So plan for the weekend to aid my overworked self- do shit all, unwind, drink plenty of red, spend some quality time with boy and me.

Royalet Elite...
We spent a lovely day wondering around the home show yesterday. There were some great stands about all things home, but one stand in particular I noticed a huge crowd of people all gathered round. Naturally, I wanted to get in on the action so I scooted my way through the crowd to see what the fuss was all about. When I finally got to the front there was a guy putting on a demonstration for the most incredible product out:
The 'Royalet Elite'
(And when I say demonstration, I don't mean that the guy was on it with the sunday paper hahaha) He was simply working the many incredible features on this baby.
My favourite features bolded below:
- Two nozzle system - His and Hers
- Adjustable nozzle positioning
- Adjustable water temperature
- Adjustable water pressure
- Massage feature (nozzle moves back & forth)- Not sure how this works exactly haha but massages are good.
- Rhythmic pulse feature
- Anti-microbial seat
- Heated seat with adjustable temperature
- Self cleaning nozzle
- Hydraulic "anti-slam lid and seat
- Warm air drying with adjustable air temperature
- Deodoriser
- Built-in air freshener
- Wash & dry one touch button function
- Power save function
- Built-in pump
- Water purifying filter
- Human sensor
I found it amusing that these were selling like hot potatoes. For those interested, you can purchase one of these for just $1600 a pop. It's an expensive replacement for toilet paper but it has 'a nozzle that moves back & forth' & 'rhythmic pulse feature' so there may be something more to it for some hahahahaha.
