Xmas Pups

I forgot to post these pics of the pups over xmas time!!

Here is Batman who is my friends french bulldog.

Cutie!

And here is my little baby Taco. Heheeeeee!

She is NOT happy at me. You can tell because she wont look at me in the face.

My mums friend held her and I dressed her and took a quick photo and then took it all off and she ran away! hahaha Poor Taco.

She hates clothes.

Hello! Merry Xmas. A bit late, i know :(

Hello!

Merry Xmas. Happy New Year.

It's been forever since I have blogged.

December was a very busy month.

GOOD NEWS TO SHARE.

My mum had breast cancer last year but as of a few days before Xmas, she finished her radiotherapy and the cancer is all gone.

YAY.

Best Xmas Ever with that news.

It was a very hard time. I didn't want to talk about it. Remember Bali? That was a family trip to help relax my mum and spend time together during the stressful period.

I am so glad it is over.

I just ask one thing, PLEASE EVERYONE, get your mums to go for regular mammograms.

My mum probably wouldn't be here today if she didn't.

I never thought it would happen to someone so close to me, but it does.

Force your mums if need be!

Back to Xmas. I will make this quick.

I'm sure you are all over it by now.

D took some photos when we went to get a tree

YAY

Xmas tree farm is my fav thing.

Note to Self:

Don't keep phone in back pocket. It makes your ass look weird.

The dogs go spazzo at the farm and run around like children on red cordial.

Hahaha look at the tongues out.

So funny.

Must find a good tree!

Voila!

D and I decorated the tree.

And by that, I mean he puts the lights on and I do everything else.

That includes all the wrapping.

Is it like a male genetic thing that they cant wrap presents?

He could possibly be the worst present wrapper of all time.

I wish I took a photo of the one he wrapped.

There was no star at the top.

I had one, but we never got around to putting it on.

I think I prefer no star.

I have a few decorations that I got from Paris Disneyland when we were there last year.

I love them!

This Mickey Snow Globe is probably my favourite.

PRESENTS!!!!!!

Sadly, none of them are mine.

I bought this Poinsettia plant that lasted well over a month.

It died when I was in Perth last week.

R.I.P

Last year I did holly and red roses and got so many cuts I vowed to never do it again.

I dunno why I did it again this year.

I love the look of real holly but gosh its so prickly!

We had some friends over before Xmas for our traditional Xmas Cognacs.

We also had cherries and gingerbread mens.

YAY

I miss Christmas Cognacs.

I think I need to start a tradition of Easter Cognacs.

Easter is more champagne though maybe. I dunno. hmm

Do you like the spitted our cherry pips in the corner? Hahhaahha!!

Sadly there was no before photo when the platter looked nice. Sorry.

We had been drinking and playing the dancing game on Xbox Kinect.

So much fun.

It's like a full work out !!

I love it!

Thats all my Xmas photos.

Just realised I dont have one photo of the actual Xmas day.

Was way too busy! We had over 32 people for a full English dinner/lunch at my parents house.

It was a lot of work.

Wahh.

So glad Xmas is over!!!

YAY WEEKEND!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

This week has been so busy and bleugh.

Family heath issues resulted in me helping to run a lunch shop and it was damn HARD.

Kudos to all you people who work in kitchens and lunch shops.

Dang. It's like 50 degrees in there.

I think I will be back next week too.

I can whip up a ham + salad roll like nobody's business.

Which is weird...because I don't eat ham. Hahah.

I can also deep fry potato cakes well.

Important skills to have in life!

I think my aunty is all in clear now so I am happy.

I haven't taken any photos this week so here are some photos from Perth when I was there 2 weeks ago.

Wah.

I look foul in them.

Hello regrowth.

Thank god I don't have it anymore.

I got my hair done last week.

D and I went to Greenhouse in the Enex Building for lunch.

It was really average.

I think it'd probably be better if you ate meat.

There are no vegetarian options and the pizza oven wasn't working.

Lame

They made this.

I dunno where the taste was.

Bland Town.

Let's all laugh at D in his work attire.

HAHHAHA.

He looks a bit like a banker or something in the white collar.

Is that what its supposed to be?

I dunno. I thought white collar shirts where popular in the finance industry but I have no idea where I got that idea from.

Look at the potaties.

I LOVE POTATOES.

If I had my way I'd eat them every day.

Chips, mash, baked potati, roast potato with garlic and rosemary.

Ughhhh POTATIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

BLARGH!

This was the only photo of what I wore so I will post it and embrace the fuggers.

It looks like I have no eyebrows or something.

I barely do.

I felt so weird in this outfit because I was wearing colours.

Every now and then I try to wear something that isn't black/white/grey but then I always feel weird.

BLEUGH

WHAT A WORM

The pink shirt is Sportsgirl and the t-shirt is Evil Twin.

I sent these baby xmas tree decorations to my cousin last week.

This one says " Baby's First Christmas 2010"

I hope she liked them!

And I bought some cute new ones for my tree.

This deer? It is a deer right?

And this koala!!

How cute!

YAY.

CANNOT WAIT UNTIL I GET MY XMAS TREE!

We went last week but the farm was closed.

LAME.

The farm doesn't open until Dec 1.

I WANT IT THIS WEEKEND!!!

I like decorating it and putting the lights on etc.

Wooo

I hope everyone posts photos of their trees this year!!

Or atleast tweet them to me!

I'd love to see them all !!!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

:)

:)

Perth CBD at night.

Perth CBD becomes quite pretty at night because it's basically a ghost town.

It's nice to walk around a bit.

Xmas decorations are now being put up so I took some photos.

I walked in on a dress rehearsal for a choir.

They were doing all the wiring etc so I didn't get to hear the singing.

Some weird $2 fairy lights in the main strip.

I wonder if someone will rip them off before Xmas?

Most likely.

Ghost town....

This was outside of Myer/David jones at 7.30pm.

The always pretty London Court.

I wish there was good shops or cafes down here.

Such a pity that it isn't used to its full potential.

It's so cute.

I look so hagged after walking around Perth all day.

We spent some time in the hospital visiting D's new baby cousin!

She was so cute!

We went from the hospital in Subi to Northbridge for dinner and then walked all the way back to East Perth.

You can imagine how sore my legs were for the next 2 days.

$20 shoes that I got in Haji Lane in Singapore.

Yesssss.

They're so comfy and crap. I love them.

I will wear them a lot this summer. Unless they break in 2 weeks. Which is likely.

More of London Court..

Some weirdo sculpture thing they were putting up on St Georges Tce.

Pretty cool huh?

Reminds me of those things that suck your thoughts out in Harry Potter.

What are they called?

You know the ones that fly around and suck something from you?

It looks like those but in white.

I love this building in Perth!!

Can anyone tell me what it is?

I love that it changes colour.

It flashes all colours of the rainbow and then does a multi-colour thing.

It's like an all year round xmas tree.

Love it.

Here is the lobby of our hotel.

Which always confuses me.

Not sure how Lions and Elephants are relevant to Australia.

Oddest Lobby feature ever.

It's just so out of place.

Especially with all the indigenous art paintings around the hotel.

As we were walking back to the hotel in East Perth,

a tourist asked me where the main bit of the city was so he could go find a restaurant to eat at.

I kinda thought.....there is none.

HAHAHahha.

I never eat dinner in the CBD.

Is there a strip of eateries for dinner in the CBD that I don't know about?

I'm watching Junior Masterchef now and I NEED THAT GREEN DESSERT!

yesss.

Does Zumbo post to Melbourne?

Can I get that dessert sent to me and then the next day the Urban Remedy Juice Cleanse?

Hhahaha

Paris at night.

When it turns dark all the beautiful xmas lights in Paris turn on. I took so many photos but i thought it'd get boring to post them all.

I ran out in the middle of the road and took this shot. Scared for my life. Crazy parisian drivers go hard.

I wish those two buses weren't in my photos. they shit me. i waited ages for them to move but the traffic was gnarly and i got cold waiting.

During xmas time there are street markets that sell random rubbish. They were super cute. But really, all rubbish. like wooden door signs and cheap pashminas. I'm not into random market goods. But they had heaps of food. i wanted to try a nutella crepe but i hate waiting for stuff so i never did.

OH and they sold HOT red wine. scary. i wanted to try it. it looked gross but once again i dont like waiting. the lines were crazy long.

Here is a xmas rollercoaster. i told D i was too scared to go on it and he said it was for children 10 and below. HAHAHAHA. i was still too scared.

whatevs.

crazy kids dont know about the real world dangers! thats why they go on crazy rollercoasters.

Here is the magical, magical land known as Hermes. The mothership.

Man i stalked this place like a crazed lunatic on my trip trying to get a bag. I knew that inventory is really low after xmas but i still had to try. The Hermes gods did not shine down on me.
Oh this snap is funny !!!

HOW WHIMSICAL> AHHAHAHA. ummmm no. its funny because im the most non girly person.

but how CUTE is this window? i need that tutu costume ASAP. not sure what for.

But i was standing there getting ready for a photo and D took this shot and i think this turned out better than the proper photo.

And this shot was taken while we were walking back to the hotel. I was walking infront and D called me and i turned around and SNAP. i like natural kind of unstaged photos. So i dont totally hate this one of me.

Or maybe i do? i dunno. I will probably delete it later. im fickle like that.

My beanie is Mimco btw. Incase anyone is going beanie shopping in the middle of summer......

Paris at night is so beautiful...as is Paris in winter.

If any of you are considering going, dont let the cold put you off! It's not that bad! I would rate it slightly worse than melb. only slightly...But i wore like 6 layers under my jacket everyday so I guess thats why.

YAY

my post ends now.

Boxing Day in Singapore

Argh so after about 3-4 hours sleep we got up and finished packing and rushed to the airport.

It felt so weird to be leaving so soon after xmas. i wanted to play with all my xmas gifts. boo!

but then when we got on the plane it was decorated xmas style! it made me so happy.

WOOO!

btw, i love the camo seat covers singapore airlines. tres chic.

Singapore has lovely xmas lights. very festive. step yo game up melbourne.

Singapore i love you but you make my hair go REAL FOUL. All the humidity made my hair go frizz x 10000 so i ran into sephora for emergency brush buying. D obviously felt the need to document the adventure.

Oh and the starbucks cup i am holding contained the best starbucks ever made. im not kidding!!

the xmas flavour here was so shit. "gingerbread" pfft. more like pine needles.

singapore had cherry mocha and choc mint mocha. we got one of each and they were amazing.

so good. sdflkjsldfjsdlfj so good.

More xmas goodness in singapore.

how good is that tree? makes mine look rubbish.

yayayayya festive lights. so cute. i LOVED IT.

i might of taken like 200 photos. hahahahahha. D loved it.

Back at the Singapore lounge at changi, and let me just say, this photo is for you qantas,

plz take note.

this is how its done.

i ate so much shiz in here it was off. i took the buffet seriously.

some lovely ladies bought us "xmas tea" and they had a trolley full of xmas treats! should of taken a photo. slightly odd. anyway

i chose these. SO GOOD.

GINGERBREAD MAN YOU MAKE ME HAPPY x 100000000

i took a photo of D and i posing with them but he had a sook that he looked stupid and wouldn't let me post it and suggested i posted a photo of him sticking his finger up instead.

so looks like im posting neither.

hmmz

2nd leg of the journey onto paris.

now

TOURIST PHOTO

i was excited to be on the A380. Not only because its like the biggest plane ever.

but because its NEW and it has that new plane smell.

its like the TITANIC of the sky. i so knew it was going to crash. it didnt. oh well. maybe next time.

how bomb is the seating ? really? QANTAS PLZ LOOK TAKE NOTE.

qantas seats are like half the size. actually a third of the size. i want to love qantas but they make it hard.

plus the singapore staff are so amazing. nicest people ever.

singapore has won me over. and that is no easy task.

These seats turn into a fully flat bed. I MAY of slept the entire 24 hours to paris. HA ok minus 3.

*runs away in shame* but D slept about 18 of it so he is just as bad. We slept through meals as well.

I ate this pasta though. I am so obsessed with plane food. i took photos of ALL my meals. PYSCHO. yes. but i like to compare.

anyways

this was their vegan pasta. im not vegan, just vegetarian, but i order vegan on planes out of fear they will give me quiche. and i hate eggs. so gross.

eggs be gone.

QANTAS PLZ TAKE NOTE K THNX

singapore meals are way better than qantas.

ok crazy random photo heavy post done.

In other news, my dad was on the radio this morning because he won a contest. ( who even enters this shit anyway???!!) and he sounded SO HILLARIOUS. omg i have not stopped laughing. i recorded it and i want to post it but he says his real name.

he sounds like a woman.

omg. too funny.

i will be making fun of him FOREVER!!

so glad im back in melbourne. i can catch up on everyones blogs. i have missed all your blogs deeply!

YAY melbourne i love you!

Xmas Day

Hello all !

I know I am really far behind. I am in Paris now and left on Boxing Day morning so i have lots of blog catch up to do. I have 30 mins before dinner so I thought i'd do a quick post about xmas day.

It feels like age ago i can hardly remember it.

I tried to set the table nicely. It was the first time i had done it. I had to google how to do it. HA!

Xmas Day snacks!! and YES THAT IS REAL HOLLY. I still have the scratches all over my hands to prove it. Never dealing with holly + roses ever again. ahhh so painful. That shiz is sharp!

How cute is my white chocolate santa? my neighbour made it for me!! which i just realised now i forgot to thank him for. dammit. xmas day went so fast and then we left at 7am the next day and i'm so far behind with everything. its like as soon as i came back from W.A i had 2 bdays then xmas then left and im behind on everything gah!!

After lunch we all pretty much felt like this...

Little Nobu. My mum seems to like dressing her. I think she hates it. But i guess she is sleeping so maybe not too much.

Behold the tree in all its glory.

I decorated it by myself this year because D was away with work. Ass. Ha just kidding baby. xo

After lunch we all watched Will Farrels "Elf". um Best xmas movie ever!!!

SO FUNNY. the scene when he gets on the escalator. gold.

YAY

Joyeux Noel !!!

P.S I got the best gifts from everyone this year! Everyone was so thoughtful and I loved them all so much! I have the best friends and family ever!
