goody goody goodies!

Since being back in Sydney (and apart from trying to get over this terrible jetlag), I've been a guinea pig - yes, i've been sampling things! And there is much much more to be a guinea pig for too!First up, Pussy. The energy drink (get your minds out of the gutter for those who even WENT there!)It actually tastes AMAZING! lychee, white pear, milk thistle, some healthy stuff in there! They are sponsoring several events, including a fashion show at Central 31st August 2010. And for once, the drink doesn't taste medicinal like. Girls, you will LOVE...

deliver me ...

A lot of the times, Vietnam reminds me of America - I got take-out martinis in the states, take out noodles, but maybe Vietnam is one step better. How about home delivery KFC and Lotteria ... and of course, home delivery of clothing (not that that is any different at home where i sit awaiting my next parcel in the mail to arrive at my doorstep - the blissful life of online shopping...sigh). Home delivery of vermicelli, of Pho, of Bun Bo Hue ~ the list is endless!Today, I got my home delivery of a top i bought online in vietnam! I also found...

BLAHHHHHH!!!!

NOTHING could irritate me more are 4 chords which don't go together - actually, no, i can think of multiple other things which could annoy me but u know what, right now, at this very moment, at this very point in time, it is probably the most frustrating thing EVER! I feel like investing in ear plugs - or bashing my head against the wall. Instead of inflicting pain upon oneself, i'm trying to do a less painful form of therapy - watching PRIVATE PRACTICE! now THAT is a strangely addictive show at it!I miss home. I want to go home. It's a strange feeling - love-heart relationship with this country....

vietnamese designers ahoy!

Being in Vietnam for over a month this time, I did my walkabouts not only to find the perfect meal (as some of you have noticed from my copious amounts of food snaps), but also for up and coming designers. A girl loves dresses, I, specifically, DIE for dresses. Ok, so maybe not literally but quite close to it. It makes me go jitters and scream like a little girl with the latest Barbie in her hands (ok - enough embarrassment for a day).I'm proud to say that there has been a lot of progress in vietnamese fashion houses. Of course, there are the Viet...
