~ Not just a winter coat ~

a cool exterior it may seem when you put it on,
but the moment you take it off..
that warmth that it has taken from you...
is so comforting.
that's something i'm falling in love with.

yeshhhhh i'm (FINALLY!) blogging about the awesome melb trip i had :P
 
happened to see this when i looked out of the window, 
and it looks like a huge heart is coming out from that house. i just thought if it really is coming out form a house, it must be a really lovely family living in there :P
so, this is us in our cute apartment. 
there's two huge beds and a sliding door that separates the place into 2 rooms... 
but one of the beds was right in front of the toilet... pffffft
i rmbed setting the camera to self-timer and running back again, 
but only my butt was captured in the other pic... cos' the statues were on a platform 
and my long dress made it sooooo difficult to climb up the platform :( 
oh, and i was saying this in my heart when the pic was taken, "take me on a shopping spree!"
 
just being randoms... we took an hour and a half to look for a lunch place cos' we were being tourisie like that~ hahahahaha
before we finally settled for this korean restaurant, we were playing rock-scissors-paper with a boss in front of her chinese restaurant (and it was in the middle of a street!). so, the thing was, if she wins, we would dine at her place, otherwise we'd just walk to another place. the result was.. she lost :P
the previous post would explain this pic~ 
if you know me well enough by now... bleah ok, i shall not repeattttt myself!
isn't he adorable???? there's a thousand, million pics of us :P
they make such yummy crepes, i cldn't stop myself from not noticing this little stall by the street!
i totally fell for their salted caramel :)
this is such a mysterious street! we went there on the first day, and then it was never found again :(
another thing to add to my must-do list: I must have coffee here at least ONCE!
this alley had such awesome graffiti! i had to hold my breath for this pic cos' it reeks of pee!
bleahhhhhhh smiles totally hide all the other gross stuffs that's actually present in the pic.
i like how photos capture the happy-one-second-moment, yet it brings us back to minutes of memories :)
don't talk to me about beanies for now (period.)
can you see the lips?
he's so funny! he kicked the tambourines towards us, then passed us the shakers and stuffs!
i soooo love dancing and playing instruments in the middle of nowhere,
but i love the background so much more :P
this artist was so focus on his drawing that it took him awhile to realise someone was talking to him.
did you know, he actually rushes to roll this whole art up whenever it starts to rain?
but sometimes, the rain comes so sudden that some parts gets washed off...
if only the rain cld just wash something else off, eh? (and leave this gorgeous art alone)
don't you feel that sometimes we're like this dog in the pic?
we try so hard to get others' attention by reaching out to them, but sometimes they're just like these passers-by - just passing by.
so much sweet indulgence during the trip... had this in the middle of the night~ but this dark tim tam chocolate cake was so so so so so so chocolately that my heart melted :)
i really like smiles, and she caught my attention straight away. 
she was smiling as she made the breads at the bakery. 
to love what you do, and to be happy with what you're doing. this is life.
i didn't want to put this back into the basket... it was so nice to cuddle :P
this red bean drink was sooooo sweet! if you really love red bean as much as i do, you should try this.
they've got the red bean paste at the bottom, and the glass is filled milk and ice as well as red beans all over and at the top! it's def a drink for the red bean lovers!
brunch @ Proud Mary's was awesome! the coffee was  really good as well!
the most impt thing was... i had such an awesome view while brunching :) just saying.
i'm walking on sunshine~ the song keeps coming up when i see this pic~
what's a trip shot without some jumping, eh? the cathedral was so huge and beautiful!
stop dwelling on the past and enjoy the present :) it's such a simple... graffiti (slash vandalism)
but such an awesome message sent out!
 
i can do graffiti!
who said three was a crowd?
she was placed in the centre of the shop and everyone took a scroll from her basket.
it's really interesting to just pick one message, and let your heart tell you what to believe in.
bbq-ed marshmallows!! AHHHHH <3
you don't get to sit on a huge chair EVERYDAY.
i did that for a reason. ask me, and i shall tell you. maybe.
love sunset.
yes, i can bake! it doesn't mean i can't if you don't see this often enough!
when you come close, the smile you see kinda gets blurry.
when you look from afar, you might not even be able to see if it's a smile or a frown.
what's gonna happen when you come really really close then?

"seriously!? i just scrolled down to see these?! i'm sure there shd be moreeeeeee"
hahahaha... there's soooo much more actually, and i'm gonna try to post it up soon (yea...)

there's quite a few posts that shd have been posted up before...
but ah wells, melb post shall be my priority for now :P

one night, i just thought about the various definitions of the word, nice.
and i realised i'm not too sure what my definition of nice was,
since its meaning was so broad, and it can also mean bad in some cases.
that dress is so nice, you're so nice, i think she's kinda nice, nice work..... bleah bleah bleah
you can use nice in almost every sentence!
now that i'm actually staring at the word, it's becoming more and more foreign...
as in the spelling of the word nice, don't you get that sometimes?
i wonder if it's the same for people.
when you face someone everyday... bleahhhhh i'm gonna just let 'nice' get out of my head for now...
it's def not gonna be my new pet word, def.
