Memories are like gravity

Wow hello,

SO.MANY.THINGS.TO.TALK

Ok let's settle things down nicely first..

I feel like it has been forever since I last blogged. I am not exactly in the "I am so busy I can't even ugh" kind of situation, but uni has already here for 3 weeks (like, wtf?) and I have found myself crawling on my floor trying to get things done. And I have changed a hell lot since we last spoke, my dear imaginary readers. Who know how 3 weeks can change you huh?

First things first, I am officially a blue - green head now. 

I have been pondering about going blue for a longggg time; because it is something absolutely crazy to do if I was in Vietnam, it has been on my list of "things I have to do in Melbourne" for months. And now tah-dah, I can totally tell my grandchildren that their grandmother had blue hair once.

The thing about having blue hair is, you seem more open, more approachable and such. Since my hair turned blue, I have been receiving kindness and smile from strangers "Hey, I like your hair" and it is always a great start for conversations.


Places: TASMANIA

I went to Tassie last week with my gang of friends, and the whole trip was amazinggggg. Tasmania is beautiful like a poem and going on road trips with the gang is properly something I will never forget. We went from the hazy green mountains to the crystal clear sea, from the vintage town to the up high Mt Wellington... all by our little red car.

Our way of doing group selfie

Sorry I don't have many photos because I only brought my film camera, which will properly take me half a year to get developed ha-ha *warning: this is a sad sarcastic laugh*

Other Melbourne's places

- Moomba Festival: full of lights and colours and what a festival is supposed to be like

Melbourne Fashion Week:

I got the chance to go to Melbourne Fashion Week as a reporter for Meld. This was my first time attending a fashion show, looking at real catwalks, and with the confidence of holding my media pass, you can tell I was pretty excited. I went with Linh as he wanted to take photos of the attendees' outfits. Yet both of us were quite disappointed, everything was at a "okay" level and didn't go further from that. It was still a nice experience though. And I got to meet Nat from Community Channel!

About me, I have made another crappy page for my journal, and it properly sums up my life lately:

As always, the heart is one tricky little piece of shit. 

I guess thats it for now. I skipped the class for today as I overslept and decided I would just have a day for myself (not that another days have been for others lol). But I will stay in and try to get my hands on many of my unfinished stuffs.

Oops almost forgot to include a song, anyone here listen to Nell? They are an incredible Korean indie rock band, i-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e I mean it! Anw Nell has released a new album called "Newton's Apple" recently and basically every songs in it is beyond this world. 

Have a good week people x

Plaid ladies, 3765 miles apart

Hello weirdos,

First I would like to introduce you this wonderful little lady all the way from Singapore, Linh from floral dots. You know how I always praise the magic of Lord Internet? He strikes again this time and gives me the wonderful opportunity to get to know Linh through first Instagram, then Blog, then we started talking and texting every now and then. Man, remembered how mothers used to tell us to never talk to people on the internet? You are wrong, mom, bahaha. 

Anw back to the point, me and Linh decided we could do an outfit collaboration and choose the theme "Plaid". Plaid is one of my favourite pattern, because it is so easy yet so full of characteristics. Very punk rock and retro and flexible to mix. For my part I went to Werribee Mansion with friends last week to shoot some photos and discover the place a little bit. I love everything about the area, the building was beautiful and so classic, and there is a rose garden that is beyond romantic (which unfortunately didn't make it to the photos); except for the fact that it is 1 hour train away from the city haiz. But it sure is worth the way.

My outfit was all thrifted (duh). Savers was having a 50% sale so I went a bit crazy lol. The fedora hat is from Lookbooksaigon, flying all its way from Saigon to Melbourne thanks to the help of my bro x I had a hard time trying to pull it off (because it is pretty big and hard-formed) but I think it turned out fine. 

Now, may I present to you the plaid ladies, 3765 miles apart:

Edited by Linh. My photos was taken by anh Trung.

Linh's outfit was more casual and comfortable, and mine was more of the vintage side. Hopefully Linh will stop procrastinating and write a post about this as well (I am looking at you right now darling). And we will be planning on more collaborations as well because they are funnnn. Until then be sure to check out her blog, because it is awesomeeee: FLORALDOTS!

Last but not least, a little thank you note for the guys that have been going out and exploring places with me a lot lately, even when the three of us are all old and tired and prefer taking a nap than walking haha x

I can't sleep so I write this

- It's 4 am and I have just woken up from a 3 hour sleep. Insomnia is acting up again lately and it fucking sucks.

- Crush sucks, and utterly selfish, and mentally exhausting. But I can't help it I guess. I can't understand it either.

- Academic wise, those first few days of school have been, uhm, scary. I am scared of failure, of letting myself down, of letting my parents down after all they have done for me.

- Time is going crazily fast. I can't help but looking at everything with the thought I will miss this and that very much.

- True friends stay, I believe that with all my heart. But it doesn't mean I can just sit back and wait to receive love either. Every relationships requires great efforts.

- New unknown scars everyday
