Masquerade

It has been a long time since I last got dressed up so well. But last night's Resball, organised by UTS Housing, did require me to rise up to the occasion as you can see:

Needless to say, my friends and I were uber-excited and started planning our outfits from the night before :)

Great music + delicious food + amazing people = perfect atmosphere

Best Male Mask winner

Not only did he have the best mask but also the best dance moves

The party was a nice distraction from all those assignments that seem to be chasing everyone at the moment. You know what they say - keep it short and simple. Until next time.

Beach Chic

I'm back!!! After surviving a devastating, self-inflicted hacker/virus attack, I'm finally back on track. I know it's been long since my last post. In fact, so much has happened that it seems it's been ages! For the past couple of weeks I was on a uni break, which was plagued by misfortunes just so you know. Nonetheless despite the bleak weather and all other factors which were working against me, Silvia and I did manage to have some fun. We went to the beach and out & about the city:

Even bad weather could not stop us!

We did, however, get a bit of sunshine.

NSW Art Gallery

Escape the hustle and bustles of the city.... in the city itself! The Royal Botanical Gardens

A little lost bunny at Darling Harbour.

And finally a touch of fashion... my 'relaxing' beach outfit :).

 That's it from me for now 'mates' :p. Currently you can only reach me here or via my email or phone number. No Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn (poor customer service I must say). Hopefully I will be 100% back in cyberspace soon! Miss you all!

Film Star

As I mentioned in my last post, on Monday afternoon I headed to the set of  'The Sapphires'. The feature film is about an all-female quartet of soul singers who visit various military base camps and entertain the soldiers during the Vietnam war. Situated outside of Camden, in the beautiful countryside, getting to the set was challenging enough! Luckily Luce, who joined me for this adventure, sort of knew her way around...

Once there, we were put through costume and make up (basically baby oil and black paint - the mortal combat look):

After shooting a few scenes of us, soldiers, cheering on as the soul singers performed, we got down to business. The 'under attack' scenes were exhilarating to say the least. Real M60s firing off, pyrotechnics which mimicked bomb explosions and a tanker bombarding the night sky - it was a real war zone. And if running under a real military chopper which had just lifted off doesn't get your heart racing, I don't know what does!! Unfortunately cameras were not allowed on set. 

Despite the long hours and the freezing cold at night, this was a lovely experience. I got to see the countryside, stay in a beautiful country house (for a few hours) and made some new friends. That's it for now folks. Check back in a week for a new post from your truly.
