Sun, Study and Spicy Food

Sorry for being MIA lately. I've been all over the place the last couple of days. In Palmy and Hastings over the weekend and now up in Hamilton. It's great up here in Hamilton - the weather is beautiful, the place I'm staying is comfortable and carefree, and I don't have to pay for food :) excellent. The only thing that detracts from the goodness of Hamilton is the fact that I have lots of uni work to do while up here. But still, its nice to do it in comfort.
We've been having yummy dinners up here too. We had hot & spicy chicken one night (so yum!), a spicy stirfry last night and tonight I'm making Thai Green Chicken Curry for the 'rents. Last time we made it at the flat it went down a treat so I'm hoping they'll like it :)

Went op-shopping this morning, at the biggest SaveMart I've ever seen. I admit I wasn't really in the mood, and the enormity of the shop was pretty overwhelming. But I got some jeans to cut into shorts for summer and a Billionaire Boys Club t-shirt. I've also been meaning to take snaps of my time up here, but keep forgetting to take my camera with me when I go out. bother. I shall try to remember next time.

It was great to catch-up with my sister over the weekend too. She has just arrived back in the country after a 2 month holiday in Europe. Her stories make me sooooo eager to travel. As she doesn't have a blog, I'm gonna put up some of my fav pics of her trip. I'm sure she won't mind :)

Natural History Museum - London

This pic epitomises England for me :)

Turkish market

Beach in Turkey - beautiful!

So keen to see all these places!

Cheers to the freakin' (almost) weekend

I think that this weekend may possibly be one of my most anticipated weekends to date!! Hence why I can't contain my excitement and am blogging about it when it's only Thursday. Hah shame. Why is this weekend so exciting I hear you, my virtual friends, ask?
Welllllllllll.....I get to see my beautiful family and friends :)
Saturday my parents and sister who has been in Europe for 2 months are coming to visit me. Then we are heading back to the big smoke (Hastings haha) where I can see some of my friends yay, then up to Hamilton on Monday! A week in Hamilton then roadie-ing it back with a good friend for a nutty weekend! So really it's this weekend, next week and the following weekend that I'm looking forward to. Excite!!!!


I am going to a party tonight with uni friends where the theme is 'boxes' aka you have to make something out of a  box and wear it. My friend Jordan is going as a Tardis (Dr Who lovers will know what this is) and I'm going as a Rubik's Cube! Made my costume yesterday. It's pretty mean.

Dedicated to  the people I can't wait to see are the following pics...ILY!!
Sadly I don't have any pics of my mum or dad :( But I can't wait to see them either.

Stress

Omigoodness me you would not believe how stoked I was after I handed my assignment in today. Freakin ae. So I woke up this morning all set to finish the last 300 words before 5pm, went to open it on my comp and the folder was empty. No kidding. This caused a massive freak out and attempts at everything you could think of to try and recover my essay. Even went to the computer repair shop next door to try and get it back. But alas, it was gone. Un-retrievable.
my.worst.nightmare.
So I had less than 8 hours to write a 2000 word essay on a really difficult subject, which would usually take me about 4 days.
Somehow, with massive amounts of adrenaline pumping (at the thought of losing out on ten percent and failing to hand something in for the first time in my life), I managed to finish before 4pm. I tell ya though, it was intense. But in the end, I was quite pleased with it.
But that level of stress was toooo much ta handle!
So this may sound like an over-reaction but it's a big deal to me. Have never felt the level of relief I felt after handing this particular assignment in!!!!

Now feeling totes pleased that it's over with so laxing with a movie tonight.
Oh and yesterday we went to the Chatham Cup final at Memorial Park coz a guy I knew was playing. It was awesome. The atmosphere was amazing, the stadium was packed and the supporters of the team I was going for were making a rukus. It was epic. Though my team didn't win, it was a great game :)

What to put on here today? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I think I will put up some purely awesome pics.

Mind blown.

How Harry Potter Should Have Ended

Suuuuup!
So uni finished today, well classes for 2weeks anyho. That's pretty awesome! I won't be able to feel free, however, until after I have handed in my TV studies assignment on Monday (cruel right, making it due the first day of the break, thereby making us come into uni...I'm sure some lecturers are evil..). So there's my weekend gone! However, because we had a mid-semester test today, I handed in an assignment yesterday, NZNTM is on tonight and coz, well, it's Friday, I am going to take it easy tonight. Yay.
The other day I came across this absolutely awesome clip on Youtube by these people who make cartoon vids of how blockbusters should have ended. I cannot even begin to describe how cool it is so, watch it!

J&J, I think you will particularly appreciate this :)

Dear future boyfriend

Hello.
So you don't know me yet, but I've been waiting for you for a loooong time, and I can't wait to meet you! I think about you a lot, and all the fun times we will have together. I know your plane crashed in Africa (but you were completely fine of course) and you're walking home which is why you've taken so long to get to me, but could you please hurry up? I want to skip the waiting and get to the fun, lovely part. When you play your guitar and sing to me. When we have kitchen adventures together, cooking up all sorts of wonderful things and laughing non-stop while we're at it. When we have movie and chocolate nights, curled up all snug by the fire. And we'll toast marshmallows. We'll watch the rugby together and do the haka and dissolve into fits of laughter. We'll always be smiling. You'll always make me smile.

A few other things...

you'll look cute even when you're frustrated

you'll love your music, just like me 

your fashion sense will never cease to amaze me

your eyes will be so easy to get lost in...

you will always be laughing

we'll both have cool hair cuts

I won't mind if you look like this...

So yeah, can't wait to meet you. Please show your face soon :)

Much love Monday :)

Hello lovelies. Today has been a wonderful day. I woke up this morning and told myself to just be happy. Don't dwell on things that are sad to dwell on, coz what's the point? Think about things, people, places etc that put you in a pleasant frame of mind. And you know what, it actually worked! Though there was nothing out of the ordinary about today, and it's Monday which is not my favourite day of the week, it was a good day!
Tehehe I think that perhaps I have been watching/consuming too many corny things. These last couple of posts are very cheesy. Sorry bout that.
Anyho....here are some things I love today:

• The super cool blazer I wore today for the first time
• The sun being out!!
• A new blog I found - honey and fizz
• The intense conversation about Roald Dahl's 'The Witches' I had with Jordan and Wiebe at the bus stop
• Sitting next to the window in my forensic linguistics lecture and seeing soooooooo much eye candy walking by down below (I was on the 2nd floor)
• Being able to appreciate their visual deliciousness and style, totally unbeknownst to them (just realised how creepy that sounds!)
• The new game I am playing with my iPod - putting it on shuffle and making myself not skip any songs. It's amazing how many gems I've re-discovered!!
• The fact that I am over halfway through my degree!
• My Deathly Hallows Ring. Wore it today for the first time :)
• That I will be seeing my beautiful friends and family in not too long. Gosh I miss them

And some pics that I love today...

this bar trolley - mean!

wow - I want to be here

omigoshthisissocool

I love you too, my readers :) All three of you :)

Woe is me

After a great weekend, one of my best friends and favourite flattie has moved out. She's gone. As corny and cliche as this sounds, it is actually like there is something missing from the house already. Like a part of us is gone. Like a puzzle missing the last piece.
Lawl, that's a bit OTT but you get the picture...I miss her!
A song to match this feeling:

Take the words of this song and apply it to really good friends. That pretty much sums it up.
