TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL THE BEST WEEK OF THE YEAR ARRIVES!!!!!

I cannot wait. I'm getting butterflies in my stomach from excitement. I'm currently sitting in an AMSA Council session, and it's so exciting knowing everyone here is also going to be at convention next week, being outrageous, in costumes, and getting cruuuunk. #adelaide2014 is going to go off. Watch out people of Adelaide, med students are going to run the town for a week!

UPDATE: I LOVE THE RIVER TORRENS LINEAR PARK WALK AND I'M OBSESSED WITH COFFEE BY THE BEANS!!

After my walk with Blade last week, I went by myself another 2 times!! And always followed it with a coffee from Coffee By The Beans. Omnomnom. I just wanted to share some AMAZING photos I took. Seriously, if these photos don't get you excited and want to do this walk, I don't know what else will! AND SERIOUSLY, VISIT COFFEE BY THE BEANS!!!!

how great is this photo! i fell in love at the seaside... (kooks reference for ya!)

The story of my life...

Arctic Monkeys

It's like almost a month late, BUT I needed to share my absolutely fantastic experience at Arctic Monkeys on the 10th of May in Adelaide!

Alex Turner was definitely pointing at me here!

Exploring Adelaide: fitness and caffeine fix

Today, I went on the most magical walk with my med uni friend Blade (check her blog out!). I stumbled upon this amazing walk last week by accident, and I literally do not want to go for walks anywhere else! I also had to share this with someone.

It's called the River Torrens Linear Park trail. The trail starts in town in Elder Park, and extends all the way to Henley Beach. We took a shorter route and parked our cars at Lockleys Oval, walking the 2 kilometres to Henley Beach. It was so tranquil, and just super fab. Although we walked along at a very casual pace, we still finished the walk 4 kilometres later feeling fit and healthy. The weather back home near town was dreary, with black clouds and a chance of rain, however down near the bay, it was clear and sunny!

It was a beautiful day, and there were so many horses along the way!

After our walk, we went to the most amazing little coffee joint! It's called Coffee By The Beans. THEIR COFFEE IS SO FANTASTIC!!!! The best I've ever had. Blade and I indulged in iced coffees. So much deliciousness. Definitely go check it out if you're ever in the Lockleys area.

2 iced coffees at Coffee By The Beans!

All photos were taken by the iPhone app VSCOCam! In loveeeee!

It's been too long!

Bear with me as I'm trying to write the most amazing reviews of my experiences at the Michael Bublé and Arctic Monkeys concerts that I went to. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!

Today, I needed this...

Only Lovers Left Alive: A Review (no spoilers)

Tom Hiddleston, what a brilliant brilliant man. Everything he touches turns to gold.

My beauty contribution to the world: hourglass review

My first and foremost beauty contribution to the world is that my favourite beauty products right now are from Hourglass.

So much joy!

I met the one of my obsessions and loves of my life on Thursday night. I had seen him once before in February, but this was a millions times better because it was intimate, and I was less than a metre away from him for an hour, and got into gaze into his eyes for the same amount of time as he serenaded me.

I am talking about James Keogh aka Vance Joy, one of the most talented and gorgeous music talents in Australia. This guy has it all. He is charismatic, funny, tells a good anecdote, has mad guitar skills, writes sentimental lyrics, and a voice that makes me never want to listen to any other artist ever again.

Today is never my favourite day when it's exams, but hope everyone else has a brilliant one :)

Update: hectic few weeks...

Oh my. I am so bad at blogging. But it's not my fault!! Sometimes, the most interesting thing to happen to me all week is that I actually went home and studied :/ And now I'm in the middle of SWOTVAC...and once again, it's the SWOTVAC from hell! Red wine, pringles, and Mr Alex Turner and the gang are getting me through the week!

The perfect man, Alex Turner

today i wore...a louis tomlinson outfit!

Today at uni I was totally repping a Louis Tomlinson outfit from 2012-early 2013. It was maroon skinny jeans with a stripy top. I also wore a parka, because it was quite cool in the morning, and some awesome tan leather boots that I love love love!

check out that bra strap tan...it was burn last friday!

Laneway 2014

Friday has to be one of the best days of my life. OF MY LIFE! It was my second Laneway experience, and I had no idea how it was going to top last year. However, it definitely did. The line-up was amazing, the company I had was fantastic, and the atmosphere at Hart's Mill in Port Adelaide was absolutely phenomenal.

My friends and me at the barrier for the whole day!!! (I'm the asian on the left with the awkward mouth)

With a plan in mind, armed with sunscreen and bottles of water, and the patience to stand 9 hours in the same spot, we were in for a good time. Here are some of the acts and highlights of the day:

Blogs you should read: 40 days of dating

I randomly stumbled upon this blog/experiment last night, and found it so very intriguing and captivating, that in a fit of insomnia, I decided to read all 40 days worth of entries. The blog had me yearning for a relationship, but also just to feel close to someone of the opposite sex, whether in a romantic, emotional, or physical way.

40 days of dating is an experiment started by two friends, Jessie Walsh and Tim Goodman. Both were single at the same time, and having very different dating histories, decided to document the trials and tribulations of dating each other for 40 days.

How freaking attractive are they?!

I'VE BEEN AWAY FOR FAR TOO LONG!!!!!! Hello 2014

I've been away, busy with being not busy. That's a lie, I did have a work and do a few "nursing attachment" shifts at the hospital for my degree. Did you hear about the Adelaide heat wave? 46 degrees Celsius on one of the days?! Yeah, I was in Adelaide for that time. It was absolutely awful! I think I'm still recovering from it a few weeks on. And now, I'm back at uni! Sad times, but now I'm officially a second year post-graduate medical student! Road to doctor-ing is well a truly being used.

So what have I been up to since the last time I wrote a post? Here's a little list...

Old news but...I'VE PASSED FIRST YEAR POST-GRAD MED!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Actually the most amazing feeling ever, because I felt so shit in the lead up and during exams. And I had no motivation, and just couldn't be bothered studying. So went in feeling like I knew nothing. This just proves it...ANYONE CAN DO MEDICINE!!! Ha.

But the way I got my results back was pretty ridiculous. Like actually homage to the name of my blog...truly tragic. We were told to check online for our results, and when I did, I saw I got a big fat F. And I was expecting it. Because I KNEW NOTHING!!!! But at the same time I felt pretty disappointed. So I sent an email to the first year coordinator, asking what sections I failed, so I would know what to study for the supp mid-January. She replied saying I would get an email from the faculty within 24 hours regarding it.

Mount Lofty - feeling a bit sporty

I just went on a hike up Mt Lofty, the hightest peak in Adelaide. It is a mecca for all anyone who wants a bit of a heartbeat-raising work out. I used to do Lofty once a week for a year at one point, but if you're like me and wake up really late in the afternoon, you will be hard pressed to find a good parking spot, and the sun is usually beating down and makes you hot by midday. The best time to go is early morning, in the crisp air. I use to go at around 7 am, and be down by 815-830 am to have a nice breakfast and be pumped for the rest of the day.

This Lofty hike was the first one in a bit over a year. I was scared because despite going for jogs and doing blogilates videos, Lofty is a monster and can make you feel very very unfit. I had a great friend come up this time with me, and most of the way up, we just had great chats and caught up. Except, there are some bits of the hike that make you really breathless, and all you can do is focus on continuing up the steep slope.

Starting at the bottom at Waterfall Gully, there are a few other trails that aren't as taxing as the main Lofty walk, and is definitely appropriate for those that are less fit, and also for those who want a scenic walk.

Halfway through our walk, we encountered a very cute young kangaroo! It was the most adorable thing. It let us get close enough to take a few photos and gush over it. Haha. The wildlife is just so great up at Lofty. We saw some very beautiful birds. Along the way, I felt like I was in the woods of the arena of the first Hunger Games film. All I needed was a bow and arrow, and could have been mistaken for Katniss.

EVERYONE SHOULD GO DO LOFTY!!! It's fantastic, you are immersed in wildlife, and when you finally make it to the top, you get to see the whole of Adelaide and it's gorgeous.

Thor: The Dark World...a fangirling session

I've been a bit slack with blog material over the past week because I'm literally living in a blur of sleep, catching up on tv shows, facebook stalking, and some sneaky drinks. Hopefully, I'll get to do some exciting things with my life that I can blog about :)

A few days ago, I finally got around to watching Thor: The Dark World. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!! If you have yet to watch it, it's a definite must. I was casually starting conversation with someone yesterday, and it turns out they haven't seen a single Marvel film. WHAT?! Ha. I would recommend seeing Thor and The Avengers before seeing this instalment, as it is quite fast paced, and would definitely be helpful in understanding why Loki was locked up. Oops, I should warn people that there might be a few spoilers in the following fangirling section.

I watch Marvel films for this guy...Hiddles

Old Pine by Ben Howard

So pretty much all I've been listening to this year is 'Old Pine' by Ben Howard, especially during this hell of a SWOTVAC. And the more I listen to it, the more I fall in love with it, in every way possible. The instrumental, Ben's voice, the lyrics. But, I wanted to explain how I fell in love with the song. All it took was the first 10 seconds.
