BEEN AROUND LONG. A BLAST FROM THE PAST June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2009 December 2009 January 2010 February 2010 March 2010 April 2010 May 2010 June 2010 July 2010 August 2010 September 2010 October 2010 November 2010 December 2010 January 2011 February 2011 March 2011 April 2011 May 2011 June 2011 July 2011 August 2011 September 2011 October 2011 November 2011 December 2011 January 2012 February 2012 March 2012 April 2012 May 2012 June 2012 July 2012 August 2012 September 2012 October 2012 November 2012 December 2012 January 2013 February 2013 March 2013 April 2013 May 2013 June 2013 July 2013 September 2013 October 2013

Finding a place to eat on new year's eve is more of a quest than anything lol. We went to 2 different places but no luck as they were both closed. In the end, we resorted to using Urbanspoon to locate a decent one nearby and i have to say, it was yums good! So glad we stumbled upon that place. Possibly one of the best meals i had on that trip!

Haha Mel and i were saying how we kept bringing Marley for our shoots but leave piggy at home all alone. So this time i decided to bring him out on a joy ride :P Yes he travels with me.

Finding the colored bath-houses was rather tricky since its located right up the beach front so thank heavens for Google! It was crazy hot that day and my feet kept burning when i was in the sand. Lol so after every couple of shots we'd all run and take refuge in the shadows. Ridiculous to think that the aussies actually love being in the sun. (On an unrelated matter, that is probably why the rate of skin cancer is so high over here) :/

OH LORDY LORD FAT ARMS.

The only lens i can camwhore with haha. WIDE ANGLE FTW.

We were so happy when we finally got in the car, out of the heat. Went back home and oogled at our pictures more and when it was finally dinner time, we went to this restaurant over in Chinatown with Boonie's whole family. We went our separate ways after dinner though and onward to find a good spot to watch the fireworks. It was jammed pack in the city, which made me wonder how the scene was like back in Sydney.


We had 2 hours to spare so we actually started reminiscing on our past, and sharing stories we haven't told each other before. Mine felt more like a complaint to be honest hahaha. Yeah, not that proud of my past but hey, without it it wouldn't make me who i am today ;)

The fireworks were shot off really tall buildings and in a 360 angle. Couldn't exactly turn round and round lol so we just basically focused on one side. BUT i didn't bring my dslr cause i couldn't be bothered so yes, i was already mentally kicking myself at my ignorance. Bet my wide angle could've captured most of it yarr. Lesson learnt: it is better to be safe than sorry.

I couldn't have asked for anything better. Spending time with close friends and doing the things i loved, it made the end/start of the year so much more worthwhile. Looking forward to more great things to come :)

Oh oh and Mel's decided to come to Sydney for xmas and nye this year so fingers crossed everything works out! Plus, mucho thanks to the bestie for all his and his family's hospitality :D

much love
