Rain, rain...come again....and again...


...when the rain falls, that's when my world begins...

It rained this morning. As I was getting ready to go to work (sighhh....) raindrops started to fall and I was soooo tempted to go back to bed T_T

It looked as if it was snowing outside. Yes, I stole quick glances out the window during this morning's meeting. Couldn't help it - I'm a sucker for the rain. Something about the rain that makes me feel at home (maybe I was a tree or something in my past life?... :p)

It's half past 1 in the morning and it's raining again *heart*

Sydney 2011 - Part IV

Day 5

Hunter Valley was a nice pick me up at the end of the weekend. We decided to take the day tour around the famous wine valley just close to 2 hours away from Sydney city. It was an early early start but what the hell right? It's for wine hahas :p


We stopped for breakfast at small town called Wollomby. It was really quaint and if I'm not mistaken it was just a single road town (seriously). I had a bacon and egg roll (love bacon and eggs! :p) in a really cute little cafe by the road. The main attraction in this town was supposed to be something called Uncle Jim's Jungle Juice - some sort of rugged, home made alcoholic drink if I'm not mistaken. Sadly we were given around half hour for the stop, so between breakfast and toilet break we didn't have time to go try the juice. Oh well, there's always next time ;)


So we continued our journey towards the valley. Our first stop was Mt.Pleasant Winery where we had a brief tour of how they make their wine before we were served lunch. And what was served with our lunch you may ask? Hehehe wine of course! We had 4 types of wine to go with our lunch - 2 whites, 2 reds and they were yummy! (not the lunch though muahaha :p) and in between lunch and dessert we got to try a heck lot of wine...for free!! yay!! In the end we each bought a bottle of their signature Phillip Shiraz for ourselves :D

The next winery was Lindeman's and the tasting there was accompanied by cheese and crackers hehe :p the highlight of Lindeman's was their dessert wine. We were given to taste Juliet (very delicious!!) but ended up buying back a rose wine called Ruby because it was even more delicious! Thank you Zoe for asking to taste their rose wine. Ruby is not commercially available though :( I should have bought more than one bottle! We did get an extra one just for ourselves
for a night cap later on though hehehe ^^


Our last stop was the Hunter Valley Gardens. Their wine wasn't very impressive but we did try their Kilkenny Cream - OMG it was so good! We so wanted to get a bottle but you know - baggage weight and all that so... T_T


So we got back after that, each with 2 bottles of wine to bring home. Though we wanted more (who wouldn't?? :p) Yeah well you don't get what you wish for sometimes boohoo :( But we had a great time going around drinking free wine hehehe...

Oh btw, forgot to mention that throughout the bus drive, we had to endure the very (VERY) loud chatty conversations of 6 girls that seem to have no notion of any sort of decorum! At one point I wanted to turn and go - SHUT UP already!! But...I was on a holiday and confrontations was not on my list for the day so I just tried to shut them out of my head. You can't win them all can you hahas... I still had fun though...have I told you how easily impressed I am? :p

Letters to God II


Dear God,

The moon looks unbelievably surreal tonight. It's as if you took a coin and painted it silver and stuck it in the sky. Maybe you did? I always thought you were a master artist :)

God, why do things seem to fall apart with no reason or warning? Is it your way of telling me to move on? I know there are reasons to your actions but I can't help but feel that it's a little bit unfair...maybe I am just imagining things though the stirring in my heart says otherwise...you have put me at a crossroad and edging me to make a decision...it is tough but I should think that you have greater things lined up for me. Hope I am not wrong in thinking so :)

The moon, she's my companion tonight. She looks iridescent up there - majestic and beautiful...I shall send my wishes to her and pray that she whispers them to you God...

Emotional Roller Coaster


...letting go just doesn't feel like the right thing to do but is the pain worth it?...

I am an emotional equivalent of a roller coaster. No wait, hear me out - seriously I am (#@!@!^!#%^%$!!!) okay that's that...let's restart - I am an emotional roller coaster. As how the roller coaster would go up and down subtly and very suddenly without any warning, I too have a similar tendency...

Okay let's sidetrack a little bit for a moment...ehem, I have never really rode on a roller coaster before (eeeek! don't hit me T_T) okay I mean, never ridden on a really huge-assed one in a huge-assed theme park or what not. I mean are the ones in tiny theme parks that doesn't even take 10min to do a complete circuit considered a roller coaster?? Are they?? Are they?? Okies so yeah they are considered roller coasters I guess pffft! -___-" right, sidetrack over, back to the post...

Oh well, don't feel like ranting much already now *sigh* Lazy, hot Friday afternoons in the office are never conducive for effective productivity (oh gawdd I sound like a douche...ohh gawwdd if my boss reads this then I'm a dead douche!! *squirms*)

Errr, this is awkward. Well...back to work then. Hard at work, working hard, very very hard - seriously I am *stares intently* (that should do the trick :p)

xoxo

PS : Nothing seems to help the pain...

Of Burberry Events & Torned Up Pants...


Erin Wasson - supermodel extraordinaire who's walked for many many top fashion designers, graced the covers of countless magazines and of course a girl like her would have walked for none other than Victoria Secret itself! And as if that's not enough, she also has her own jewellery design business, was a stylist for Alexander Wang and collaborated with RVCA for her own line of womenswear! How awesome can this girl be?? And of course she is super hot! I mean c'mon, what happened to "there is no such thing to having everything??"

Okies so the reason I'm ravin' on about Erin Wasson is because of a picture of her that I came across the other day (yes it's the one heading this post - duhh ppl hehehe :p). Oh how it caught my attention! I really really love her look! Her style is so so awesome and it's sooo my style! (if I ever get around to getting in shape that is! oh Skye you lazy bum you O.o) The grey blazer gives the whole outfit a subtle formality but still keeping the edge alive! (which I personally like! XD) The main star of this ensemble is of course the fashionably torn pants which looks amazing on her. Well, you know, with legs like hers she could have worn toilet paper and still would have looked sexy in them - true story :)

Taking away the pants and the blazer and it would have been an outfit that would have not caught the attention of any radar. I guess that is why she is who she is huh? An awesome style that compliments her smouldering looks so effin perfectly!

xoxo

PS : Can't help it that she was also at a Burberry event! You
know Burberry being one of my favs! ;)
PS2 : Hmmm...now where is that scissors of mine...
