hey

finally spring is coming along here, I'm so sick of winter. Yesterday I started the day off with a long walk in the botanical gardens, so nice and beautiful. We have production week now so I decided to do that everyday (already screwed that one up since I didnt today, but for good reasons though) but i'll defenitely do it tomorrow. So quite a lot has been happening in the little house on Yurong lately. Both Louise and myself got a spot in the internship program Billy Blue's running - Louise is with Interbrand and I'm with The Projects. So excited! It will happen during our holiday break from november-march.

Then today, our lovely lecturer from last semester Frankie took both of us aside for a projects she wanted us in on - we're going to design something (we've decided on a zine together I think) to be sold under The Design Kids name on the graduate exhibition later this year. It's only open for 6th semester students, but she wants us and two more - one of the two being Tim - the little boy who's resently stolen my heart - to design something as well. Very exciting!

Then not much else is happening, Louise, Tim and I hung out in Hyde park yesterday for some afternoon sun..ran into Ro and then we had to go rescue Thomas who'd locked himself out on their rooftop. Then we all went for a roadtrip to pick up Tim's van and then drive over to Caro, Toby and Jack's to get a fridge from them. They were given two fridges for free so they didnt really need theyre old one - so they gave it to us since our fridge is tiny for four people. So now we can actually fit all the enormous amounts of veggies and herbs Tim and his mum keeps giving us.

This morning, Tim and I were gonna go to the flower markets at 6am but that didn't happen, instead we planted some veggies and herbs in our backyard - we're now growing capsicum, chili, parsley and basil. yum - hopefully they'll live and grow strong. Tonight Louise and I filmed her title sequence, I filmed mine with Josefin yesterday - you'll might see the results if little blogger allows us to upload the files in the future.

A few days ago my manager and ass. manager made a little cardboard figure off me and Ashlea from work for a meeting they were going to with all teh crabtree & evelyn managers and people from NSW - we look beautiful (I'm to the right in the picture - fringe and all). Louise and I also went venturing to Paddys markets for some veggie shopping and Louise purchased the product of the year - a Dramaten! so pretty.

update

so we haven't updated the blog in a while.. but with good reason. Uni, uni, uni and illness.. everyone in the palace as had their time.. nnow it's my turn. i got a cold and it's very annoying. but what can you do.. i've bought heaps of oranges though so i'm eating a lot of vitamin c, which i've heard is good for you..

we're in week 8 now at uni.. which means less than half way left.. 6 weeks! in 2 weeks we got production week again .. it's insane how the time flies down here.

as you might know we had some troubles with the house: oven, door, dishwasher, toaster, hot water.. BUt it's all coming together now.. we already ticked the door and the oven off and tomorrow a person will come and fix the dishwasher and I think nicole is looking at a toaster as we speak. oh and the hot water got fixed monday which was a little bit of a relief after being forced to shower in cold water for 2-3 days.. but hey , at least we now know how the eskimos and other people with no hot water feel.

oh well back to studying.

glandular fever, tonsillitis, food poisoning, fever and little health herself

the little house on yurong st has this past week been turned into the sickhouse on yurong. it's kind of sad and lame. i got really sick on sunday night and after work on (my manager had me working aaaall day - despite several signs of me not being very well) i was even worse. tuesday morning i went to the doctor and she said she thought i had glandular fever (körtelfeber) - not a very happy result when in the middle of the semester and very far away from my mother to take care of me and my father to buy me 4-gott. "at least" she said - "you have severe tonsillitis" (halsfluss) - so she prescribed me the craziest penicillin cure - 4 x 500mg pills for 20 days.

then they had me taking bloodtests, the mean nurse just showed the needle into my arm and now its all bruised and ugly. i went back on thursday - no glandular :) apparently this little one's already had it so my body's already developed anti bodies and kicked its ass. still tonsillitis though. that does feel like kind of a victory anyhow. so here i am feeling so much better popping my penicillin pills and waiting to go fully recover, which i now think i have. maybe tomorrow. i've been very good - didn't go to caro's amazing birthday party last night, shich i really really really wanted to - instead i watched movies and ate lollies for dinner - because that's absolutely allowed when your little and sick - and tonight i'm not going to cara's housewarming either because i want to fully recover. i missed out on china heights on friday too, and go font ur self and monster children on thursday. well, for the coming 15 days i'll be health itself.

marcus got a bit sick to the other day, fever and a cold, but it went away after a day or so. josefin had tuna sallad at a friends birthday dinner and got food poisoned. louise - little healthy one - is the only one who hasn't been sick at all. she looked kind of freaked out when i told her both other two are a bit sick...well now we're all feeling better. even went out for breakfast at Safe House today. so good. josefin's in carlingford picking up her bike today very exciting - the first addition to the bike family. our's are on their way, we're not really focusing on that right now.

billy blue has granted me extension for all the assessments we've got due this week. i hate being behind but i haven't really been able to do anything about it. and i'm not working until next sunday - which is weird. and i won't get paid which is bad. but there's not much to do i guess...

spring is kind of on its way too - around the 20's mostly now, thursday was ridiculous over 25 (it's still winter here swedes :)

now i need to finish my style sheet for RAW.

sunshine day

ook, here it comes, the long waited for blog post. HOW exciting!
so the reason for our lack of posting is Billy Blue. He is just so selfish he just wants all the attention. BUt good news everybody after the week to come (w 6) we will have a little bit more time for stuff not related to that little silly boy.

ok so today i've been in rouse hill... where is that you might wonder.. well, I have no idea, or it might be mayeb south west of sydney kind of.. about an hour and a half with bus!! yes an hour and a HAlf. what did i do that far away?? well, my group and i was shooting our little film. just looked at the footage.. it might turn out fantastic OR the total opposite. time just have to tell, but we've done the first shoot now and so we can get some feedback and get back there again. today has been Lovely, 25 C and sunshine all day! a lovely lovely lovely day to spend in a shed on the country side with a dog and a kitten.


back to study.

hello

Sydney seems to be craving lots of water recently. It's been pouring down, and its cold and wet everywhere. Therefore I thought it'd be a good idea to cut a fringe. It will keep my forehead nice and warm but it will look crazy when its all curly whurly from all the rain that will land onto it. I look like I'm 5. But I'm fine with that, I want to be a kid forever. Just recently I asked my dad if we could go to Orlando, Florida and to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. He asked if I wasn't a bit too old for that. i said "Nej". Only the future can tell.

Apart from me cutting my fringe, Louise also cut her hair today. We also bought matching shoes the other day so we're slowly merging into one. we had our housewarming last saturday - it was amazing. cowboys and indians was the theme. Lou was a cowboy "Cherry Lou", Jos an indian "tumblesweede" and I was an indian too "Dancing with thunder" - Marcus was also an indian, but I don't know what his name was - he did have the most shiny black hair in his wig though so "Moonshine" maybe?

We've also gone back to school. Hectic already. We're making films, our major projects and all sorts of things - feels more like I'm doing Multimedia design than communication but hey, I need to know those things to. And so far so good. 

These were all photos that lived from saturday. x

silly, very silly.

hello hello. I'm sitting drinking my sneaky imported cinnamon tea, in the dark, in josefins room, close to the heater, I'm kind of deep in that way. sometimes looking out the window to observe the lovely street named after yurong. pretty cold day in sydney but yet so warm. the air is filled with love from the little birds that know that the longed for spring will be here in just a minute, or at least by saturday... saturday would be nice.

ok
first week of uni is OOON! had three classes so far.. not sure what to think yet.. a lot of multimedia which doesn't really appeal to me as known from the previous semester BUT it's all gonna be in after effects which (after two basic classes) seems pretty straight forward. we also got a lot of stuff regarding our lovely and not to mention amazing major project... well the class we had today seems really good, we're gonna make a title film for a 2 min film (which we will make in an other class) and some posters and packaging around that. and heaps more!= good bye life.


Anyway,
since it is the first week of uni we're allowed to be a little bit lazy and enjoy having a little bit of a controlled/not freaking out mind, we're gonna go to a little birthday dinner tonight and josefin and I (since nic is working) will give Monster Children a little visit before for some free beer and other creative stuff.

oh great it's raining again! rain on little rain so that you don't have any left for satuday. Saturday is cowboys and indian party at the palace and we don't want no rain..

time has come

for some changes. they won't be happening today though. patience is essential here. the name needs to be changed. the layout of the blog as well. writers needs to be added and so on. one step is taken in the right direction though - internet. quite a significant step i'd say. so you can expect updates here much more frequently from now on.

holidays are over on tuesday. ridiculous how fast these holidays has gone by. so much has happened and yet it feels like i haven't done a thing. i've been working quite a lot - between 15-30 hours per week actually so not much for holidays for me. my mom is a bit upset about it. we've had beautiful cassie from SF visiting for a week and we had so much fun. she's coming back to work for AA (American Apparell) in january at the latest and might also become a Billy Bluer then as well. amazing.


yesterday lovely lou came back home. finally. i'm waiting for her and jos  to wake up so we can go for breakfast to the shop. muesli here i come. yum. i made a delicious strawberry jam the other day btw. oh so yum - nom nom nom. tonight's the snake party at thomson st and tomorrow warehouse party at the old chocolate factory. then next saturday we're having our housewarming finally - cowboys and indians is the chosen theme. ill be an indian - feathers and pearls in my hair. very excited.

now i can here rumbles from the other rooms. yes breakfast!

crayfish for everyone!

The crayfish party was amazing. We were at sofias little countryside/island house all saturday and sunday! with sill lunch, cinnamon buns and of course heaps of crayfish! :)
We swam around, fell around and sat in the hot hot hot little wood tub! I love crayfish, I love crayfish parties, love love love, puss puss puss. <3

here are the photos from the lovely little day(s):

thief

once again ive stolen josefins internet. i think she wont mind. i did go all the way to north sydney today to print her portfolio for her. the graduate exhibition is on wednesday and the poor thing wouldve never had time to print it otherwise. but thats what we do in this family, we take care of each other (thanks to oliver i now know for sure that each other is spelled like that - not like this eachother).

while experiencing the utter buredom of north sydney i went and signed up for a medicare card, bought an amazon energy, hung out with the coffee people at the cafe at billy blue and then i rushed home so  i would be home in time for the plumber to arrive at 12. that was now an hour and a half ago. he still have til 3 to show up but anyway. why are they always late?

been working a lot. all days of the weekend. tomorrow. went to the fba boys studio launch on wednesday, then to watch rodrigo play at oxford art factory on thursday night. it was really good - talented boy. then josefin and i had fredagsmys on friday watching amazing buffalo 66 and eating swedish lollies that dear louise sent us. then come saturday anna oliver toby josefin and i went to a mad house party on crown st. amazing. i ruined my top though, my white silk top that i found for 20 dollars on the very same street (not on the street, in a store on crown) and loved wholeheartedly. ive only worn it twice and now its totally ruined. such a shame.

i wonder when our internets going to be installed. i hope its soon. i miss it.

tea time. x

from yurong with love

another two weeks is what i have to wait until i have proper internet back. until then im depending on my little iphone, it does do its job splendidly but how amazing it is to actually have a 15 inch screen staring back at you (im occupying Jo's laptop at the moment while she's getting ready)

the past couple of days has been relaxing and hectic all at once. no billy blue, but work and breakfasts at the commons, hours at the grocery stores, chess at pocket, pool at darlo bar and other random lovelinessess. i'm aware thats not a word. we've also managed to squeeze in two visits at the movies, oliver and i watched new york i love you and then Jo and i saw rocket science. i recommend both, rocket science was so good, so funny.

these days of no billy blue are quite fantastic, there's nothing in the back of my head threatening me not to enjoy myself. i'm free. the only thing thats missing is my little louise. people ask me how i cope without my other half and i just smile and say i do very well on my own. which obviously is a lie. i miss her terribly. i even sent her a little package in the post today, should arrive at the time of her arrival back in sthlm since shes celebrating midsummer in southern sweden. i also sent my dad a little something, a little something that only he likes and no other person understand why he likes them. but he does.

now Jo and myself (soon) are getting ready, we're going out for a bi. it's been nice and warm today - no sun though but still. warm winds.
