This fish was MASSIVE and it was so close to me hehe i knew it was harmless but i still couldnt help getting a bit freaked out when it swam towards me!

the main pool at hamilton island and behind is catseye beach! this was at 6am in the morning!
I'm surprised the underwater disposable camera turned out quite clear!

IT'S A NEW YEAR WITH A NEW START???

Happy Chinese New Year my lovelies ...

seeing as i have a second opportunity to start this new year fresh ... i've decided to re-make my new years resolutions considering my first attempt a few months ago clearly failed and we're only into the second month of the year! not a good sign!

it's a new year a new start ... and to be honest i'm really looking forward to this year, i have so many plans and ideas running through my head for this entire year that i honestly cannot wait to actually take action and make it happen!

i have transferred back to my old uni course which means providing i don't fail any units this year i actually finally am able to leave uni and grad w/ a degree! i have dragged uni life long enough and it's time i actually complete something for a change!

The end of uni means i finally have the opportunity to start my journey ... i really feel uni has restricted me to do alot of things i've always wanted to do ... once it's all over i can breathe a sigh of relief and move on ...

Anywho i wish you all a happy chinese new year ... and if like me you've failed your ny resolution here's your second chance to make up for it!

i would list my resolution list but its too long ... hehe

HAMO UPDATE

hey my lovelies ...

i'm heading into my third day at hamilton island ... this place is beautiful it's like a mini hawaii/phuket v. tropical!

the weather has been pretty crap actually it has been crap, no sun just rain and wind ... which means i'm rather restricted to many activities! gayyyyy!

not much of a night life but there is ONE night club haah that only opens 3 nights a week between the hours of 12-2am! haha i shall check that out one night ...

we've hired a buggy (those golf carts) to drive around the island ... everywhere is within walking distance but being the lazy asses that we are we prefer to drive! hehe well the island is quite hilly in some areas so its bit of a painful workout! i love driving the buggies ... even tho they only can reach a max speed fo 20km per hour haha they're still really good and can u believe that the island has proper road laws! so no drinking and driving and no driving whilst on the phone otherwise we could get fined! gay! this place is like pleasantville the roads aren't real how can there be actual road rules in place!

anyways i just wanted to keep you updated...miss you guys ... even though the weather has been disappointing i'm still loving every minute of it ... can't control the weather so i may as well make the most of it haha and speaking of making the most of it tonight is BINGO NIGHT! woot woot haha how g-ma is that!

SHOES - GIRLS BEST FRIEND OR WORST ENEMY???

after going ikea shopping with jen a few weeks ago and hearing about lou's newly refurbished-ish room i was inspired to give my own room a bit of cleaning out!

well really i wanted to re-organise my shoes and lets just say over the past year(s) my shoe collection has grown quite a bit! Trying to find the best shoe storage solution, let me tell you was not easy! Nettie and i could not find a single shoe storage cabinet/shelf that would accommodate ALL my shoes! makes me regret buying so much shoes ahha but i can't help it they're my weakness!

in the end i decided to purchase those clear plastic shoe boxes so i can actually see what shoes i have as i tend to forget about shoes when they're tucked away under 20 other shoe boxes! Now this way i won't neglect any of them! eeeek!

the price i paid for these clear boxes could have bought me a large cabinet or another pair of heels! =(

(note to self: stop buying shoes, just storing them is costing me a fortune AND i actually have no more storage space anyway to place anymore of those boxes as i had JUST enough space to fit all my shoes phewww hehe thanks to some crafty TETRIS work)

Anyways here's the finished look ... i really should have taken a before and after shot but i forgot, my closet still looks messy but at least all the shoes are neat...hahha if you notice i actually didn't have enough of those clear boxes so i had to use a side storage on the left to put more of my shoes in!
