cravings

buffalo wings

i've only had these twice in my life, but dang it

i'm hopelessly addicted to them.

unfortunately no one in perth sells them,

so i either fly over to sydney or melbourne and get my fix from hooters

or resort to making my own.

i have sussed out a couple of recipes but i'm not keen on deep frying the wings coz i'm slack and i dont want to use so much oil.

looks like i have to make my own .

Mojitos are my favourite favourite summer drink.

Anyways if you want to know how to make these just follow the link above

its soo dead easy, i make sure we ALWAYS have the ingredients ready,

just in case i need a mojito fix :oP

financial crisis

financial crisis

recession

economic hardship

rising unemployment

these are words i hear everyday on the news.

the financial crisis has really hit and i can see it every where when i go out.

shops arent as busy as they use to be and people really are struggling to keep their head above water.

well it seems like im trying to do my best to help the economy

i am spending my hard earned holiday money like water... :oP

its only really bad when i look at my credit card bill that i feel like i have a personal financial crisis and will surely be experiencing economic hardship when i pay my credit card in full.

At least i'm not part of the rising unemployment - thank god!

i just have to keep my nose clean and work hard this year and hopefully get my permanancy!

i'm glad school is starting soon, because it stops me from shopping and spending money.

i love smiggle!!!

I know I cant stop rabbiting about Smiggle - but I just love this stuff!!

They have the most amazing stationery at really reasonable prices!!

AND.......They are opening in GARDEN CITY!!! YAY for me :o)

Reesa & Lidya Wedding Dec 2008

As you have read from earlier posts, I was on my way to my cousin's wedding in Sydney - until I checked my ticket itinerary and realised I missed my flight. To read in detail how I right royally screwed myself in the buttocks - please read my earlier posting, because I'm not going to explain it again.

Anyways onto much happier news... I finally rounded up the photos from all the rellies and I have put together a very mini photo album of some of the events of the day.

I was actually VERY excited to go to Sydney to attend my cousin's wedding, I couldn't wait to play with my new toy (Nikon D80) thinking that I may possibly remotely be a wedding photographer one day. Well my mini dreams came to a crashing halt when I met Wiki and Llona - they are the husband and wife team who did the photos for Helen & Agus' wedding & Reesa & Lidya's wedding. They totally TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY.

Wiki is such a talented photographer and graphic artist- it just made me realise what a lil itty bitty amateur I was. And that folks is the reason I ended up taking so few photos of the wedding, I just thought I should leave the job to the professionals.

Anyways, here are the few photos I have put together as evidence of me making it to Sydney.

All in all it was an amazing wedding day.

Lots of fun & memories.

holy grail shoes

on the purse forum there is this term i have become familiar with ...

the "holy grail"

what does it mean?

it means the most coveted , most desired handbag or shoe or any other material object you deem unobtainable.

and this people is my holy grail of shoes...its the christian louboutin patent nude very prive shoes. yes lots of celebs own this shoe, yes there is a supa doopa crazy long waiting list for this shoe and yes it cost a small fortune. and yes... sigh sigh sigh... i can wish and dream of ever owning such a pretty and practical shoe (yeh right) ... oh well ... thats the reason why its a holy grail ....

why the interest in high heels? i have only very just recently got onto the hang of wearing heels, scary freaky high heels. and so i would like to expand my collection ... but i am so stingy... i could never part more then $100 for a pair of shoes...
