Trippin': Sydney - Sydney Opera House
The sydney opera house is as magnificently beautiful as you would imagine it to be. The way it juts out and sits right at the edge of the harbour makes it all the more dramatic. Speaking of dramatics, the story of how the sydney opera house came to be is a drama in itself! The real architect who created the design and who also poured all his blood sweat and tears into this project gets kicked off the plan and has supposedly never come back to sydney to see his vision in completion. In a nutshell. That is so sucky. We didn't see a show here. I checked the schedule and wasn't all too eager to spend my evening at the symphony. My 'mary trip', as my baby sistar puts it, doesn't really allow for an exciting nightlife since my eventful days basically means i hit the sack pretty early. Hey. I'm all too aware how non relaxing traveling with me can be. Thus the reason i kinda prefer not to travel with friends anymore. Haha. I don't want to have to feel bad about the things i want to do and the way i choose to go about it. We took a tour of the opera house. Very cool and pretty and neat. I love having a guide talk about the history of anything and everything. We had to cut it short cos I didn't want us to miss the next adventure. WHALE WATCHING.

Musik Mundi: Brandon & Leah
Brandon & Leah
Song: Life Happens
My working bucket list:
milk a cow
wrastle an aldergator
perform in a subway
deliver a baby
full ironman (or 70.3)
learn to play the ukele
Ukele. Hence the song choice. Also because i'm a reality tv junky and brandon is bruce jenner's son. You know. KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS. I find kim kardashian annoying but i enjoy watching their family as a whole. And their fabulous life.
Life happens. Work happens.
I just got back from a crazy trip to paris. I haven't decided yet if i liked it there or not. The buildings are AMAZE! But the amount of chinse tour groups that overwhelmed the city really took away from what could have been a great experience. I know I know. I'm chinese! I don't know what else to say. If I could say something to those chinese people it would be that i think they talk too loud (I know I know ... i talk loud too) and that they smell bad/weird. Confucious say you need to take a FULL head-to-toe shower EVERYDAY. And do not re-wear your clothes without washing them with detergent. Do not line dry either. Use a real dryer and add some bounce sheets. Xie xie.

Oh Really?: Chanel
Since this paris trip looks like it'll prolly happen, instead of attempting my usual overly ambitious and arduous itinerary, i have been, instead, researching which freaking BAD ASS FANCY PURSE i'm gonna finally buy. Carbon copy azn girl here i come! My initial plan was to get a louis. But after watching the movie coco before chanel, i've been fascinated with the fashion house of chanel. I loved the way she dressed in the movie. She was so unique and did her own thing. I didn't really consider getting a chanel purse until i saw the way it looked on some girls in several fashion blogs. I loved it! The gold hardware. The way it sat right below the hip with the chain-straps across the chest. Oh i want! I only wish i had jumped on it sooner. The prices for chanel bags have literally doubled from just a couple of years ago. And it's been predicted to continue to increase making this purse an actual investment! The things girls will say to rationalize spending the bucks for material things. Maybe it'll be something i can pass on to my future daughter some day. NAH! I'm keeping this sucker for myself! Haha. I'm mos def leaning towards the classic chanel flap bag. Either mini or small in black quilted caviar. The price difference between the two is about $1500! So expensive! My second choice would be the chanel classic wallet on a chain. It's prolly more practical and can function as a wallet or a purse. And it's slightly cheaper than the mini. Ugh. Dare i go vintage?
