Recovered? or are we still rolling about on the floor in a Christmas lunch daze?
Festive times bring with them festive amounts of eating, and although I ate my weight in cherries, brie and roast lamb, I have successfully decreased my food baby with a jaunt around Lake Daylesford.
Yep, I was a yuppie for a day, nibbling at the boathouse in imitation Ray Bans and my lumper tied nonchalantly around my shoulders.
Back to the original day of bad jokes and backyard cricket, I received a hikers pack from my parentals. YAY! Watch out southern parts of Asia and certain cheap European countries, I'm on my way!!
It's like a christening gift, one of these packs. One you get one, it's like you're a woman of the world in my family. So far all my siblings have gotten theirs, and travelled a lot of the globe in them. Now it's my turn...
So I leave you in your pudding comas with high spirits as I plan (with money I don't have) one of the most exciting and fulfilling/enlightening adventures of a lifetime!
...
And find me one of these...

Cowboys And Tea
See, here is where I write something witty or ravishingly hillarious..
Sorry, just not hitting me today.
One thing though, that I do love, is the absurd.
And while perusing the vast space that is the Internet (or more specifically YouTube) I came across this.
It's just so bad, it's good. I mean even the title screams "WTF?!"
You may have noticed (if you live where I do) that it's supposed to be summer. But weirdly I'm wearing a beanie and ugg boots. Why do you rob me of my glorious sunshine and sun-baking weather, global warming?!
Despite that, it has allowed me to brew up my own homemade Chai tea recipe. Want it? It's breathtakingly easy to make and surprisingly good.
To every tablespoon of tea leaves, you add:
1 heaped tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of ground ginger
1/2 tsp of ground cloves
cadamon seed.. (depends what you like, remember they're very strong!)
mix it half and half with hot milk and add a teaspoon of honey for sweetness.
Voila!!.. enjoy

p.s. I want those teacups

Around the state, 50 000 students just received their first ATAR...

My Marionette
In this fast paced day and age, I miss certain things about the old world. Well I guess I can’t really say that I miss them because I’ve never really had the chance to experience them. But it’s the idea that counts right?
Back in the day, they didn’t exist to work. They lived life; they savoured moments and shared occasions that we barely have the time for these days.
There were once a moment in time where people travelled by train to different cities and appreciated the sights along the way, where a trip to the countryside was romantic through the pure natural beauty of it.
Where did that time go? Since when did we care only about careers and money? I don’t know whether it’s the Christmas spirit infecting my brain, but I really just want to soak in these next few weeks as much as I can.
I want to be swept from this high-speed life to somewhere quiet with new faces and where I can experience new things. Take control of your life like you are your own puppet master.

Rose Coloured Glasses
It's a disturbing truth that a person is more creative and innovative when they're in the darkest of places.
Why is it that a person needs to (generally) be in that dejected state of mind before they can really open up their ideas?
It seems that while life is taking away all you happiness/comfort, it's giving you the gift of artistic genius, sharing a little of its perfection with you as part of a compensation deal.
It's a bitter-sweet moment, when someone can sit and express life in its rawest form.
A moment that I feel is catching up on all of us...
