I'm a sporadic organisational psychology phd student, full time day dreamer of alternative careers: cafe/bookshop/day spa lifestyle village empire entrepreneur; artist; travel writer; domestic goddess; property developer; fashion designer; retiree; organic farm/bed n breakkie; wife to billionaire heir; buddhist nun. when i'm not entertaining the above in my head, i'm busy navigating through life battling with myself to find eternal happiness armed with a skinny hazelnut flatwhite in my hand, twinkle of passion in my eyes, love in my heart and a barrage of great friends n family by my side.

Mid Week Break

was ANZAC day on Wednesday.. and though it was meant to be a day of remembrance... for us 'yellow ppl' (or may be it's just my family) we have very vague concept of what this whole thing is about..

my grandparents on both sides did not participate in the war.. i doubt they know much about it other than the fact that the Japanese has invaded China and they are taking over Taiwan.. so we've heard no war stories, there were no medals, we don't even know ANYONE who had fought in the war.. we've only heard about rectangular lunch boxes that only allowed white rice and a red plum placed in the middle to resemble the japanese flag (and great grandma hid other dishes underneath the rice for grandma, where as granddad had no shoes and toughed it out with the plain rice..)..


anywayz, for us it was a blissfully ignorant and much welcomed break in the middle of the week..

so we had a nice BBQ picnic in the local park.. complete with sausage (though gourmet chicken ones.. aussie nonetheless)..and korean beef ribs.. how good does this look eh!

and after a nice walk.. i took over mum's 3D puzzle.. which i finished later that nite..
ahhh.. me like to not work :D
