This past week was definitely one of the worst and best weeks of this year so far. Although, I spent much of this week worried, anxious and crying, I did receive some incredible news that I am extremely excited about but can't yet share! I did get up to some shenanigans which you can find out more about below. 

Monday 21st July

On Monday morning, Thi and I set out to have breakfast and see where the day would take us. We had an early start after dropping Loi off at school around 8, so we headed to Ananas Espresso in Graceville for some much needed food and coffee. I had always taken notice of this place every time I drive by so we decided to try it out. It's a quaint little place with both indoor and outdoor seating area. Thi and I opted to sit outside much to our dismay that the heaters weren't working. Breakfast and coffees ordered, we didn't have to wait that long for either to arrive and once the gas tank in the heater was changed we were warm and enjoying our morning feed. I had the smashed avocado on sourdough with scrambled eggs which was very yummy and also cheap! 

After breakfast we headed over to Mt. Ommaney to do a bit of retail therapy despite the fact that neither of us really needed to buy anything. I ended up buying two midi skirts because I had always wondered what they would looked like on me and turns out its not too bad! What do you think? Plus they were only 10 dollars each so why not. Thi and I also decided to buy some Sims 3 expansion packs because we were bored of the just the base game. After the shopping trip we headed back to my place to have a mess around with the new Sims additions to our game. 

Thursday 24th July

Surprise surprise Thursday was spent hanging out with Thi again. I was away in la-la land when I was woken up by a constant flow of one word Whatsapp messages from Thi asking if I would like to go out for breakfast with her. I agreed and after a long discussion of where we should go we set of to Mt Gravatt to fulfil our pancake craving at Pancake Manor. Coincidentally we both decided on wearing blue stripes and grey without discussing what we had planned on wearing that day. For some reason Thi thought that the closest PM was at Ipswich and I didn't mention that there was one closer and for that I received a slap on the arm. We ordered our usual when we arrived, eggs benedict as well as a serve of the short stack. It was extremely delicious.

As always with our bellies full, we walked around the shopping centre slowly not actually purchasing anything. We ended up in Big W staring yet again at its selection of Sims 3 expansion packs. After standing there for awhile eliminating those that we did not eagerly we wanted to install we made the smart decision to forgo the tech counter and go straight to the self serve check out. Once we had arrived back at my place, I opened the case to install the first of three games that we bought and of course I instantly thought that for some reason it wasn't sealed and voila no disc. After getting over the stupidity and embarrassment of what we had come to realise, we called up Big W to see if we could come pick up the games another day, neither of us wanted to sit in the car for the trip. Unfortunately they prefer if t they are picked up ASAP so we made the trek back to Big W and headed back to my place to finally install the newest expansion packs.

Saturday 26th July

I am very saddened by the fact that I missed out on Splendour in the Grass this year but definitely going to make it next year! Missed out on Sam Smith and City and Colour but luckily Two Door dropped out this year. After reluctantly going to work on Saturday and waiting for Mum to come pick me up after the storm made its appearance, it was time to get ready for Jessica's 18th Birthday party! I had to rush everything because I was getting a lift from Nhung and her mum had plans. 

The night turned out to be pretty fun celebrating Jessica's birthday with cake, numerous bottles of Belvedere and Jennie's 'fishing rod'. Things started winding up around midnight as everyone made plans to head out for The Met. Below are some photos from the night, Happy Birthday to Jess! 

This coming week:

Back to university this week unfortunately, even though I don't have the faintest idea what I spent my five-week holiday doing. Of four days I'm probably going to attend two days this week because I can't find a lift now that I am at the Ipswich campus. Can we just think about how creepy it is that the Ipswich campus used to be an asylum for a second? 

Extra:

Became number 1 in the Kim K game, is it obvious that I don't have a life?
