Zoo Trip & The Program

Hey friends, 

Sally here. So recently some of my friends from Canada came down on exchange and we've been taking them around here there and everywhere. Last weekend had some nice weather so we took them to the zoo so they could have a look at some Aussie animals which were all rather lazy and asleep. My favourite animals were the tigers but the baby elephant was so cute! While we were there we had a picnic too which was nice even though I need to make a mental note to myself not to bring chips as it seems to be everyones staple food. Anyway, it was a lovely weekend and here are some pictures from it. I've been trying to get into photography so if you want to check out some of my photos, click: Here

Also, recently I've been trying to pick up my reading again as I've been a bit slack this year. Elle Fowler (a YouTuber) recommend in one of her videos the book, 'The Program' by Suzanne Young. I'm so impressed with this book I could barley put it down. Basically it's about a suicide epidemic effecting 1 in 3 teenagers which is contagious. For example someones, friend commits suicide, then they becoming depressed and commit suicide and then the cycle continues. They are unsure of how this all started but anti depressants have stopped working. The Program is a group of handlers that work to try and stop this epidemic. They come in and erase the contaminated part of your memories that are causing the depression and then let you off to start your new life. In the book, the protagonist, Sloane gets taken by the program but she fights against it. She doesn't want to forget so she hides a ring given to her by her boyfriend James and a photography of James and her brother in her room in hopes that when she returns from The Program it will spark some memory in her.

That's all I want to say for now because I really want you to read the book. It sounds like a really depressing and uncomfortable topic but I can assure you the book is a can't put it down book and I read it really quickly. I'm just about to start the next book in the series called The Treatment so I'll let you know about that when I'm done reading it.

Hope you guys have all been well!

Love Sally.

Shopping Spree and Photoboothing!

Hey there, Sally here!

Today I met up with one of my friends from Sydney who came down to see some of the art exhibitions happening here. I did a bit of shopping while she was here. I also had a gift card given to me on my birthday from my friends which I had yet to spend and it was going to expire soon so I thought I better use it soon. (Note none of these clothing images are mine.)

Firstly, I got this top from Forever New. I got it because it reminded me of this Monets Garden exhibition that's going on at the moment and I thought it would be cute to wear in the summer.

 Secondly, I got this jacket from Lorna Jane. For those of you that don't know, it's like a sport shop but it has some nice stuff. I love how bright it is and it's a cool design. Pink is my favourite colour so when I saw it I knew it was a must have. This is what the front of the jacket looks like.

And this is the back! Nice huh?

Lastly, I got these tights from Lorna Jane. I needed new ones because my old tights were becoming very thin. Their so comfy to wear! They've got some pretty nice stuff but it's a little pricey so I guess I'll have to keep saving up!

Me (Right) and (Isabella)

 I took some pictures with my friend Isabella! We took like 50 photos until we finally found one that we both agreed on. Haha!

And in this photo, we went to a photo booth which was only $4 which is pretty good and took some black and white photos! It was funny because we didn't now where to look in the booth and turns out we were looking too high up.



Well that's all for now! Until next time,

I'm back from my holiday!

Sally here, I'm back! Did you miss me? Just kidding! I just got back from my visit to Sydney. While I was there I visited my friends, ate a lot of food and caught a ferry to sight-see Sydney's landmarks and of course took some photos:

It was so good to catch up with my friends again and seeing how much had changed since I last visited! The weather was a little cold and rainy while I was up so my friends and I went to Paddy's Market in China Town and I bought a Hello Kitty onesie to keep me warm at home. While I was there, I ate so much Thai food because my friend showed me this amazing restaurant! I can't wait to go there again! Also, I had so much Yum Cha where I mostly ate egg tarts and mango pudding, my favourites. On my second last day, the weather was nice and warm (for winter) so my friends and I spend some time in Hyde Park and took lots of pictures. Finally it was time to go, the plane got delayed as someone had decided to get off as it was about to depart. Other than that everything went smoothly. The only downside I guess is not having a constant wifi connection which is a bit difficult for a techie girl like me.
