Thursday night with my mates! It was an average night out on the town and eating Subway after was disappointing. The thing I liked the most that night was my outfit. And maybe hanging with my friends. Hah. Kidding.

I slept in that day and woke up with a text from David about the massive work room sale at The White Room. I got really excited until I realised I don't get paid until next week so I came up with a budget. I wanted to get this knitted cardi but it was over my budget (I was really tempted to get it) and for the first time ever, I practiced self-control and didn't get it. Got this beautiful red velvet material instead that I'm going to turn into something beautiful for me to wear. Lol jk, I can't sew for shit so Steph is actually making it into a pretty garment. What a good bitch.

Behind these Hazel Hayes. . .

I love days off! I've been working since Monday last week and today, I finally got a day off! It felt so good to sleep late, sleep in, and wake up feeling very refreshed! One of my favourite feelings in life is to wake up and realise that you absolutely have nothing to do for the day and you can spend it as you please.

Finally got around to checking out Hazel Hayes  with Steph today! I've been there before with David (If the cups look familiar to you, you've probably seen it here), but Steph and I have always wanted to check it out but never gotten around to until today! Had a cappuccino and the slow roasted pork belly for lunch. Soooo good. I think I found my new favourite place to hide in <3

What a good day. Last night, we had dinner and then went to catch a late night movie. Unfortunately, Bridesmaids sold out and so we watched Bad Teacher instead. The movie was alright, I guess. Still, I've been dying to see Bridesmaids! Next time I'm booking tickets in advance!

P.S.

I've never stuck to a blog address before. I swear I have HEAPS of blogs that I abandon after like, 2 posts, but from the start, I knew I'd be sticking to this. A forever fling indeed.

P.P.S.

Entry title is somewhat an allusion to that Kelly Clarkson song. Hahaha. See what I did there?

My little brother was discharged from the hospital today! Yay! I missed him so much that I smothered him with kisses. This is his "I'm not impressed" slash "no shit" look. Thanks for all the prayers and the love!

Cold weather + Snuggly knits + Bestfriend + Yummy food = A happy Jess!

Yesterday was a very good day. Woke up early for my 8 am class and was pleasantly surprised to see fog! I'm never up early enough for fog. Lol. It was really chilly so I wore my favourite knit and my favourite hat to keep me warm.

Was reunited with Steph after a long time (1 week. HAHA) and caught up! Took photos and posted it up on our blog too! I'm liking Autumn now, but not the rain! Aaaahhh. I never used to like Fall/Winter because I came from such a tropical country and I never knew what to wear or how to layer but now. . . I think I'm learning!

We had dinner in this yummy Italian place and took a walk before going for dessert. The rest of my night was spent cuddling with a blanket watching Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice/SVU. I love Tuesdays!

Now I'm currently listening to Massad. I love how I'm discovering New Zealand artists now (It's been my "mission" to learn more about NZ music!) and Massad is definitely one my favourites! His song, "Forget About Me" is on repeat right now. Yes, it's that good. Listen to "Forget About Me" here. I can't whistle to save my life so that's skillz right there! Haha. But seriously, he's awesome! More of Massad in his official website and in here.

P.S.

The mint hot chocolate was made extra special for me by the lovely Renee from Iguana! So much love and goodness in this blog entry! <3

Random mix of photos from the weekend.

We drove up to Auckland last Saturday for this gig at Juice Bar. It was my first time in Parnell and I'm in love with how beautiful the place is with the fairy lights and just the overall vibe it had. I can envision myself actually living there!

We went to the chocolate shop but taking photos wasn't allowed. I think that's a shame because the place was such a nice subject for photos. Oh well. Walked around a bit, then off to Juice Bar for the gig. To put it frankly, the gig was fucking epic! More on it can be found here.

Sunday was spent at work and then Church then shouted dinner for the fambam. Up to now, I don't know how I survived the day. I was beyond tired. I finally got to sleep in today after two weeks. Unfortunately, that means I missed the first day back in class. Fail. But sleeping in was so good and snuggling with my duvet while rain was kinda pouring outside made me sleep so much better!

When I finally did get up, I ate the yummiest spaghetti ever! Went out to meet David for coffee too. Did a bit of window shopping and spoiled myself some more by getting this snuggly knit cardi I am in love with! Last purchase for a long time. Promise!  Also while shopping, the fire alarm went off and so everyone had to evacuate. I was out hanging with three lovely girls who I kinda used to work it. They were so bubbly and cute I just had to take a photo! The second to the last photo is that of Alice and Tayla from Jay Jays and Hannah from Dotti. Hey you guys! <3

I guess I better sleep early as class is at 8 am tomorrow. Fully not keen!
