I love to be a free soul most of the time, have no-one keep me tied to the ground or control what I do or what I say. But sometimes I want to belong to something solid, be with someone who can be my rock.

And in these confusing times, I feel myself torn and considering things I've never considered before. It's scary when you're experiencing feelings that rarely come at you and sweep you off your feet. It's like the sudden feeling of not wanting to go home but knowing you can't stay where you are. Well I could stay, if it were easily possible...

In time though, I will learn from my lessons/mistakes and recycle my knowledge and try not to repeat mistakes, and in the end, always remember that no matter what happens, I will be OK. Absolutely OK.

And now having been two years of blogging now, with countless outfits and hairstyles, I still encounter the bad outfits and confusing camera pose choices. And again in time, I hope to learn from my mistakes from blogging as well. The most important lesson though it to ABSOLUTELY be yourself.

I'm temperamental about my style, so sometimes I like to wear colours. Thanks to Surfdome I found myself wearing a bright watch from May 28th, called 12.40PM (interesting hey?) combined with lilac, polka dots and khaki. An outfit that makes me look younger, but that's part of my temperamental personality. Yet always try to be yourself today live in the moment, even if your heart will change it's course tomorrow.

Introducing: Air Wick's Multicolour Black Edition Candle (Crackling fire and cinnamon spice scent) thanks to Air Wick

Some things are just meant to enter your life and make it wonderful. When I received this ready-to-light glass candle I was already happy with the scent of cinnamon spice flooding my room I always seem to bring it close to greedily sniff it. 
Then came night time I finally lit it and to my surprise, the candle gently changed colour.. from soft blues to striking red and serene greens. 
I'm not sure how it works, but it became a beautiful addition to my room and it distracts me while I watch TV or read. The smell of cinnamon (I love baking too) and this warm, colourful candle is enough to make me not want to leave my room, ever. Thanking Air Wick for making such lovely candles.

I've been cooped up in my room lately, determined to clock POKEMON X on my 3DS and beat my boyfriend and all my other friends that were smart enough to get the game... it means that I've tried to squeeze every free minute I have in between blogging, emailing, work, parties, social outings, fashion events and baking to play.

I know there are more pressing issues in the world to think about like washing my hair or feeding the dogs (or feeding myself in that matter) but playing Pokemon at the age of 26, still transports me back to me to that giddy 10 year old kid playing Pokemon red, blue, yellow, gold and silver. I finished all games but since the Pokemon went beyond the original 150... I stopped (and I guess I grew older...).

Playing games is fun but it seriously is different when you're an adult. I have to schedule 2 hours here and there in my diary for play, I make decisions like taking a train over driving to get play-time. Doing this has seriously put my work/life balance into perspective. Pokemon is pure play-time for me, not like social obligations or fashion events and I've found that my play-time is slipping away.

And my leisurely strolls have gone out the window too. This is one of my rare walks I've taken recently, the type I take for a good escape or breather. As I've been mentioning lately, I've been happier so there is rarely anything bad to escape from these days.
All I can look forward to is pure play-time and my now fun-loving life.

Riders by Lee adopts a care-free, life loving and relaxed attitude. So today I wear some wicked Riders by Lee mid-rise Vegas denim with slashed knees and a velvet/chiffon top from their 2013 collection in the hopes that I can adopt this Riders by Lee attitude forever and ever.

Shipwrecks and Floating Forests at Homebush Bay

Wednesday, October 23, 2013

One hot muggy day, Hughie and I decided to visit Homebush Bay in search for a mysterious 'Floating Forest'. This Forest had somehow found its way on an abandoned ship (formally known as the SS Ayrfeld) still floating on water. It's hard to find, as there are no real directions on the maps around Olympic Park, nor can you search it on Google Maps.

So we decided to hire a tandem bike and with a flimsy map we rode to a point called 'Shipwreck Look out Point'. On the way we found remains of wood ship wrecks, getting more excited as we kept riding. When we finally got to the look out point, it actually was disappointing. We saw the back of the ship so far away it was a speck, with a tired and useless telescope that was supposed to provide the 'view'. But we saw on the other side of the ship was a possible viewing platform and it was not marked on the map.....

Hughie and I took a chance, and rode our bike to an estimated location - over bridges, and crossing busy roads, we ended up behind a hotel and in front of their swimming pool. And before we knew it we were in front of the beautiful Ship Wreck with a trees and shrubs growing on it - The Floating Forest.

The SS Ayrfeld is 102 years old, and once served as steam collier turned transporter during WWII. In 1972 the ship was towed into the bay to be dismantled and most parts sold for scrap. It was then just left there, abandoned. Yet amazing things happened. Trees and vegetation sprouted over the past decades and produced the 'Floating Forest'. Nature worked its magic and now we have a beautiful example of nature's resilience and power. Such a lovely wonder of the world I believe everyone should get a chance to see one day... I certainly feel so very lucky to take a day out of my busy life just to find it.
