its officially the holidays! finally i have time to blog, and breathe. anyway a very happy belated 21st birthday to all the people i didnt or couldnt wish. im sorry! u must know how much i wish i could attend all your parties!

but well, how time flies. i've been here half a year or so and i gotta say i've never made a better decision in my entire life. i just think of myself stuck in singapore with noise pollution and kaisu-ness all around me and i feel suffocated. i also feel like i know who my friends really are after i left, and im glad to have a chance to sort of have another life and leave everything crappy behind. sometimes its like i dont exist in singapore anymore, it makes me feel like there's no point coming home.

but whatever, i dont do all that emo rubbish anymore. so my housemate jane and her boyfriend phillip and i had a little weekend trip to de-stress and it was so so awesome. we took lou (who is 4kg now) and fat, to sunshine coast. we went to mooloolaba where its all beaches and like this tiny seaside getaway. and then drove to mapleton in melaney which is my fav fav place! its so quaint! everything about it is so english. the cobblestones, the buildings. loved it.

so we popped lou in his box in the car and off we went...

Photobucket
got there two hours or so later, and the stupid fatty wouldnt walk so we had to pop him into a bag and carry him like paris hilton, you know how much i cant stand that!

Photobucket
so we're at mooloolaba (i do hope im spelling it right)

Photobucket
andd we climbed down to some sand dunes or whatever they're called. it was low tide.

Photobucket
thats jane and me and lou

Photobucket
i bet they could frame this little family picture. haha.

Photobucket
we tried to trim lou's fur but its like rapunzel or smth, its always so fluffy!

Photobucket
i just thought this was a real nice moment and got phil to take it. he was the photgrapher of the day

Photobucket
i think this picture is so homey.

Photobucket
aand after a nice walk, some lunch and juice...

Photobucket

Photobucket

stuffing the fatty into the bag (which we just bought cos it looks cooler than the green bag) cause he wouldnt walk anymore. sigh.

Photobucket

Photobucket
doesnt lou's head sticking out make it look like a bag with a fake doggy head attached?

Photobucket
im saying let's go! cause phil is taking his own sweet time

Photobucket
we're searching for jane's fav pie shop that she claims has the bestest best pies in the world...

Photobucket

anddd horseback riding soon i hope! i love mucking about in the countryside. i have to say the getting there is almost better than getting there. the view is awesome, little sheep and cows and horses all over the place. aughh. how fun is that! and the lakes and mountains all shining in the sun.. -sighing dreamily- why does everywhere else seem way way better than singapore. well, its lucky we managed the trip before this cold spell hit. its winter. and 7 friggin degrees out. where did autumn go? seems like just yesterday i was complaining about summer. its the global warming, i swear the world is ending. its not like china cold, but its still cold !
