Christmas Wishlist 2014
Christmas wishlists are something of a novelty to me. Usually, when I want something, I get it for myself so by the time Christmas comes around, I don't really want or need anything. I guess wishlists are more like a checklist for me then, especially this one, as I'll be going overseas for the...

Wagaya
Two food posts in a row, I know. But food is good!
This time we hit up Wagaya - a Japanese restaurant that brought back a flood of memories from Japan's restaurant Uobei. Not to mention, upon arriving, they scream out 'Welcome!' in Japanese just like they did in Japan. Oh, the memories!

A Day in Newtown
I'm not one to leave the house too much.
But Sunday saw the sun shining and a taste of summer was here, so Natalie and I ventured to Newtown to try out some good food.

Sydney Markets?
To my fellow Sydney-Siders,
I made a decision. I want to sell some of my stuff that I've been hoarding. Mainly fashion, accessories - but I also want to sell some books, DVD's.. Basically a garage sale! Only thing is, I only have a handful of 'branded' things and I don't really go...

Angus and Julia Stone
You know when you listen to an artist(s) religiously, then forget about them. But now they're touring, so you buy tickets for nostalgia's sake and then all of a sudden, you're head over heels for them all over again.
Angus & Julia Stone took over my iPod for a very long time in my...

Song used: Rusty Clanton - The Ci...

Grill'd
Coming home to Australia is always kind of bummy because we just don't do restaurants like other countries. Nonetheless, one that wasn't too far off is a burger place called Grill'd.
I've heard SO many people talk about this place, but because I'm not one to eat out too often, I'd...

Bible Study
I am a follower of Jesus.
But I had always put off reading the Bible because I had a King James version & would get lost halfway through the verse, and be so confused as to what was going on.
A few weeks ago I decided to put my foot down & finally purchase a new Bible...

J.S. Burger
Burgers are my favourite food. Just the thought of a big sloppy, juicy, salty patty can make my stomach turn upside down in hunger. This post is a kind of agony to type up. Nonetheless, I will march on through to bring you one of the best burger places I have ever come across, right in the heart...
