A trip to Wollies

I went to Wollies after work to stock up on the essentials, but it's so fucking boring to go shopping for the normal stuff so I decided to treat myself - and got chili, olives and cheeses and made a warm summery salad.



Good afternoon after all.
I dragged the table to the balcony and had beer and salad in the sun, listening to 100 1990's songs, that I got for Christmas from Dennis.

Looking Back

Lucky people are going to SEA soon. I just wish I could go too, but all I can do is to look back...
When we first started traveling we found amazing places where we had an island all to ourselves, where my sister and I practiced to drink like they do in the ads, meaning pooring out all the bottled water onto our faces, which resulted in solsting... hahaha


The elephant wanted to show us how he could pull down branches to clear his way, but one of the logs that was stuck in the tree tops fell down and hit Veronica in the face. Poor elephant felt so bad when she stared crying...


In one of the more recent trips we went through Laos where we did the tourist favorite, tubing, including a lot of stops at the bars along the way drinking homemade lao whiskey and beer, in Vang Vieng. Above: Dad and riverside bar, Below: Veronica and I


On the bar street all the bars show Friends on widescreens, which was nice for a while, but we found an Israeli bar that was a Friends free zone.

We traveled by public bus which was hot and uncomfortable for 8 hours, but a fun experience, I got pretty bored...

Thank you papi for sending me the photos

See what happens...

..when you watch Tarako

Thanks to Dennis for spreading the brainwashing ad...

Pandora Craze

Today two guys came into the shop to fix the aircon, but soon they had to leave for their Christmas function, and left us with a big hole in the roof in a 33 degree heat. We had use a bouncer to ensure that there were no more than 10 people in the store at one time, cause it was so hot the staff almost fainted. Puh!
I just find it so amazing that people are so crazy about pandora and would wait for almost an hour to get served, which, now that Christmas is just around the corner, not uncommon.


We got new Chrismas outfits to match our decorations in the store. We've got snowflakes dangeling above our heads, sort of teasing us in the unbarable heat, but hey when it's christmas even hot and sunny Australia have to have snow. These are the days when I miss the gray and cold Christmas in Sweden.

The Trigg

I've been working quite a lot lately and the Christmas shopping has really kicked in at work. Therefore my days are like following...
Get up, go to work, eat a sandwich in the office since my lunch is at short as it could possibly be, I sell sell sell, go home sleep a while and then watch a bit of tellie, fall asleep and then repeat.
So I thought, ill just go for a drive and ended up at Trigg beach, the sun had just set so you could see traces of the pink and yellow at the horizon.
Now the sky is dark and I can barely see the surf cause my phone is so bright so my eyes must r4eajust to the night when I look up. The sound of waves are calming thou.

After All

Finished School now and have about three month of holidays. While my work hours keep rising I just have more time to do other things. Like last time.
We first went to flying Scotsman new place flying high, I think it was called, with a great range of beer of all different strength and tastes, followed by the bakery where the first thing i saw, just after I had admired the blow-up igloo, was a man putting a needle through hid John-Tomas into a plank and dangling it. He fell down trembling in pain from his own accomplishment, yet very proud.
The igloo however was very nice, it was cold out and even though the air wasn't that fresh at least the closed in heat generated by all the people in there was pretty nice. No smoking thou.
Now, from Friday I will basically work everyday for three weeks. So I think it is all justified.

Youre never save in Australia

Poor little Wallaby! Go Go Python!

Perth Princess

I found this photo on my phone, I took it a while ago, but feel a duty to share this wonderful outfit.

Kenneth

My sister just reminded me about this creepy man who sent a personalized letter to my apartment addressed to someone who didn't live there any more, so we opened it.
It was from Kenneth, who buy the way is a Sexologist. He was planning to meet this woman at Copacabana in Hornstull, just across the street from my apartment.
In this letter he had attached a couple of photos of himself and a DVD he had made himself about his services.
One couldn't help but get chills down ones back.
Kenneth is back!

He was interview on Boston Tea Party and he has also written such hit songs as:
Jag ser dig Annicka, ta lite chips.
Listen to the song here, it is not very long and I promise it is worth it.

Last Sunday

I just finished and mailed my last assignment for the semester. It feels great. Im sitting at Dome Cafe Westend with haircurlers rolled up in my hair, neatly covered by my scarf. Now its time to get ready, I only have 2 hours and I have to find some hairspray and stuff, and if I know myself I will never be done in time.
Im going to wear my grand mothers yellow silk dress, 50s style, its so cute.
Prom night baby!

Brrroooor!

Halloween

The weekend is sneaking up more quickly than I would have wanted to. But to day is Halloween and I have news to wash down the sorrows of assignment writing.
Today my brother Leo was born and I now have 3 more family members I've never meet.
Meet my brother:
I'm going to call you Leonard. Congratulation Paps.

The Cove

Ended up going to the Cove last night, I realized at that point that the only thing I had eaten since breakfast was a strawberry sorbet. So I had a bruchetta. CJ and Annelyne joined me at Kings Park for some white wine and beer, prior. So I figured to con tinue on that path, sharing a bottle with Annelyne.

When they closed we jumped on the closest boat, a two massive engine boat, with Jim Beam and Coke in the fridge. We drank while we were touring Swan River.
And then I got to DRIVE the boat and Markus, Nicklas, Melissa and Annelyn, got pretty worried, but I was great.

I woke up in the footend of my bed with my clothes on with a hairlacky in my hand ready to wash off my make-up. I slept on my bag. Nice!

Breakfast and Kings Park

Every month Pandora (Angela) invites us all to a meeting. Last time it was at C-Restaurant in Perth, which unfortunately I was unable to attend. But this morning we went to Subiaco Hotel, where we enjoyed a a la carte menu and great coffee.
I took a walk along Rockaby Road and found myself in close proximity to Kings Park, which seemed like a place where I could get some things done, without having a black cloud over my head, that is sitting inside on a beautiful day like this.
I spent about 30 minutes enjoying the view over Perth Skyline until my battery died on me.


Luckily enough, its sunday and there are a lot o great cafés around.
Right now I'm sitting on a high bar stool drinking a cappuccino and san pellegrino at the Botanical Café.
It is quite entertaining I must say, cause if you've ever seen hells kitchen or anything with that same dude, that I can remember the name of, you'd get a full on flash back with an open kitchen and people running around like crazy screaming "YES CHEF!" "YES CHEF!"

24 Hour Pitch

Just sitting researching HBF insurance. We got a brief at 9.30 this morning to which we have to write a communications plan and advertising plan, which is to be presented tomorrow morning at 9.30.
Quite hectic, but I'm stuck already, trying to find some information on the lead competitors.
Good luck to me!

Per

Got introduced to Färjan this week and it is without a doubt the best thing to hit Swedish TV since Plötsligt i Vindslöv.
Now let me introduce you to Kryssingsvärden Per:

Remember Dancing, Sister?

Slacking in the sofa all day and watching movies is the most fun I will have this Saturday night. I got pretty hammered last night - I went straight from work to Markus, Melissa and Niklas' place and forgot I hadn't had anything to eat since the small Greek salad I had for lunch. When I got there I realized that I was pretty behind - I must say that Dennis was a happy camper, who unlike me chose not to eat.
Anyhow, we did a pit-stop at Hula Bula and ended up at The Manor. At this point I was quite happy myself and was jumping around dancing by the piano.
I found it quite funny considering how drunk I was. Hence the relaxing day on the sofa.


Channel 7 are showing Pretty Woman which reminded my of the time when my sister and I was bar hopping in Stockholm, copying the original dance style of the painter at The Blue Banana Club in Hollywood.


It was sort of a snake like or sex like movement of the lower body while spray painting or brush painting on the imagined wall, that is the space in between us. We were dancing as if we were mirror images of each other.
I suddenly understand why the people at East enjoyed our routines. Those were the good days. Remember Nicci? I can believe I still know all the words in the movie. We must have seen it quite a few times ey!?

Cottesloe

Ones again I went to the beach with Karin. We saw a lot of Speedos and and seagulls through our apple juice bottles transformed into crystal wine glasses.


After spending 3 hours locked inside Joondalup ECU learning about business leads and how to approach these to get the best response in the prospect pipeline, this was a nice change of environment.


And as for those who chose the pool over school, sometimes you can do both ;)
