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.

swedish life day 4

still haven't got used to the time difference, which btw sucks, today i got up at 5.30.. this is however an improvment from my other mornings here in sweden land.
not sure what i'm doing today.. or yes i have to go and get contact lenses which should be a bit of an adventure, or at least some excitment since it includes me getting out of the house and Älta. first iäm going out with my dear dog though.. the sun is actually shining today so it should be good.. i think they said thet it was gonna get up to 22 C today! let's take out our swimming suits! woooooppaaa!

well it's been pretty good so far .. been seeing two of my best freinds celina and anna.. haven't seen them in ages so it was fun to se their pretty little faces again. we went around in the city, i bought some stuff at HM (including a flamingo t-shirt!!).. we got some sun and coffee. so all good. I wont be seeing them again until after midsummer though since we're all going away but we got our crayfish party ahead of us and many more little get-togethers so it should be sweeeeet.

i'm not really in a blogging mood so this post is a bit unnecessary but at least you get to enjoy my little silly thoughts, I do know that you silly australians/swedeish people in Sydney miss me lots and lots so i''m gonna make this post long and full of louise so you don't have to cry yourself to sleep every night.. 15 JULY, keep that in mind.

My favorite thing in my room is my green chair. it's quite an amazing chair. it's green. it's beautiful. and you can sit on it. i'll show you a picture of it sometime in the future. I*m planning to take it out in our little garden and take some photos of it, make it feel special and cared for.
another little creature I like in my swedish room is this little guy!


i'm gonna leave you with that, but i will see and talk to you soon, hopefully.

meatballs for dinner

and we thought we were gonna have our last sleep in neutral bay yesterday but nope, we won't be moving out until tomorrow early - up with the birds, matt's coming over at 7am to help us drive the truck to darlinghurst. today we got up early, went to edgecliff to meet our overly serious real estate agent and sign papers, receive keys and get completely freaked out over how ridiculously careful we need to be with our new house. well we're pretty neat and tidy...usually...so we'll do our best.

then jo went to billy blue for yet another date with him, lou and myself skipped over to forbes and burton for breakfast and oliver, then i went to work after an hour, worked til 5 and then lou oliver and matt came to pick me up with the moving truck they'd rented and off we went to ikea. had meatballs for dinner, bought clothesracks, hangers and i bought a mirror for my new room. i also bought knäckebröd and we all shared some singoalla and marabou chocolate. yum. i tend to eat nonstop these days, soon ill turn into a meatball..mehehe well i decided to start running over the holidays. and a girl at work has a 4,5 months old puppy, maxie, and ill get to babysit him :) they live on castlereagh street so its just near us, just the other side of hyde park so its really really close for me to get to them. yay

then we went back to the city, drop little oliver off and lou matt and myself packed the truck full with our stuff from the apartment. now i just had a hot shower, will go to sleep and up early with the birds once again tomorrow since we decided to start moving at 7am...

now its time to sleep. x

start packing

and my god how tedious it is. what we thought would be well, maybe not fun, but exciting soon proved to be suuuuch a bore. and my god how much stuff (read: shit) we have...well, i guess you do gather up a nice little collection of stuff over a year. we certainly have.

today we had our final presentation + 3 hand ins for this week. now awaits flash. we have a little flash date with michael and garth tomorrow, theyre soo nice for helping us with it. we would most definitely fail if they didnt come to our aid. at least its not due until next thursday so we do have some time for it.

then we're moving on friday/saturday - soooo excited

got to finish what we started over here now.

two down two to go

week from hell update

monday we had our packaging presentations - went okay - we're both kind of struggling with fever and coughs. but all in all good effort. one down.

today we handed in Outfit - our redesign a space publication. went well well well - hd in the making. two down.

tomorrow we're having our big one - the major project presentation - for lissa, nathan and daniel dittmar (whom im secretely in love with)- we're also handing in our research sheets, process books and a2 posters - so tomorrow we have one presentation and three hand-ins.

then this week is over and flash-from-hell week commences. that thing is due next thursday.

THEN SEMESTER 3 IS OVER AND HOLIDAYS ARE HERE.

BUT what's super exciting is that on friday we're meeting the real estater and signing the papers, getting the keys and paying the HUGE amount of money they want to charge us. so on friday/saturday we're moving in on Yurong Street. The actual adress is (if anyone wants to send us packages)

51 Yurong Street
Darlinghurst 2010
NSW Australia

Marcus leaves for la Suéde on saturday and Louise leaves next thursday the little traitor. Well, Josefin and myself are gonna have soo much fun! midsummers eve's party amongst others. But when the little one gets back we're having our housewarming - very exciting. I believe the theme will be mexican - moustaches, sombreros and tequila.

So Matt's helping us with driving the moving truck on friday/saturday - thank god, without him we would probably carry our belongings across harbour bridge.

well, now its time to get back to the presentation for tomorrow, I'm to exhausted to be stressed out and we're spraying Dr Bachs rescue remedy  to calm us down. flower essences are very good.

well well, bye for now.

alley cats

the party last saturday, brigitte's birthday party, had a theme. a most amazing theme - big cats. i dressed up as a leopard in the jumpsuit my sister sent, louise was a snowleopard, oliver and josefin matched very prettily in their tiger cardigans - jo brought on the full zoo theme though with a snoweleopard print dress underneath, asha and the birthday girl herself wore panther suits (all black with ears, asha had a tail too) and face paint. toby dressed up in ten rabbits.
