The Doctor Bag

Note: The first draft of this post just got deleted and as frustrating as it is, I am redoing it all over again. Ugh. First I thought I can’t be bothered, but I think I can give it just one more try.

Last year, I had this phase when I was sort of in love with doctor bags, and now, Zoe from Hart of Dixie ignited that spark in me again.

The bag. The doctor bag.

A more glamourous doctor bag too.

Into the two with the arrows, and the one that the model is holding.

But more affordable versions tempt me. Like this one from ASOS.

But then I digressed…into other kinds of purses too.

I could never fit all my crap very important things that I carry with myself everyday, “just in case” I shall ever need them, into purses like those…but still, they’re very very cute.

Anyhow, I feel like this became more of a Hart of Dixie purse post rather than a doctor bag post, but whatever.

Are you also the sort of girl who just needs to carry her entire life in a bag 24-7, or one that just needs her iPhone and credit card and she’s all set? If you are the latter, how do you do that??? I need to learn to compromise and prioritise! Teach me!!!

Spring is finally here PROPERLY

Hey hey Good morning!!

 

So Sydney’s getting hotter by the day now. The weather was just wierd till last week – it was sort of spring already, but then it used to be cloudy/rainy pretty often and I couldn’t enjoy the glory of the warm sunlight to truly appreciate the arrival of spring. But these couple of days has been quite very warm, almost hot. So glad I got these shorts from ASOS recently, now I’m totally ready for the heat!!!

Cute polka dots, eh?

 

And the warm weather called for a refreshing breakfast yesterday…

Kefir yoghurt with frozen berries (thawed) and scooped out tamarillo.

Honestly, this was the first time I’d ever even held a tamarillo!!! I actually didn’t know what it was when I was buying it – I just thought it was some variety of a plum or something and popped it into my basket (ok, it was on sale, so I thought why not? ). I was definitely wrong. When I cut it open in half, it sort of looked a bit like passion fruit on the inside, only with less fluid. Tasted nothing like it though. I didn’t mind the sourness but it was also a tad bit bitter…I don’t think this is really my kind of fruit

Does anybody like tamarillos? 

Are all of them always bitter like this?

 

I had a molecular biology prac class yesterday from 12, which turned out to be very time-consuming but pretty dull…it was just not very exciting, but oh well, like I’d even expected a molecular bio class to be so interesting anyway And who wants to wear a lab coat in such a weather???

 

And this is what I whipped up for lunch after the class:

Green salad with tomato, zucchini, mushroom and pumpkin, drizzled with a sort of apple cider vinaigrette that I attempted to make. I guess the dressing wasn’t so bad

And some organic udon with “tsuyu” (= soup/sauce) I made with soy sauce.

It was a different kind of carb than what I usually take (I usually go for bread, or if not, rice), but variety is definitely good to avoid getting bored!!!

 

Followed by a little study sesh at home, then Zuuuuummmbaaaaa I think there are a couple of instructors for Zumba at our gym, but I like Rebecca the best Really awesome+friendly+cute+smiley person. Every instructor sort of has their own style, and I guess I sort of like hers. Gah, I’m a beginner so maybe I don’t know well enough but I do know what I like

 

And a snap shot of my post-Zumba dinner:

The last unfrozen bit of the leftover tomato brown rice recooked on the pan with the leftover lentil curry soup with an addition of the egg on top…

The salad was the same as the lunch. Yeah you know I’m pretty lazy like that

 

Anyway, now I’m off to get ready for my French class!!! Adieu, mon amis

T-Bar Town Shoes

Pink T-Bar Town Shoes from ASOS

 

I’d actually gotten this pair several weeks ago from ASOS, but it was sort of a bit too big on me (I ordered a size-8, since I’m 7-1/2 and they didn’t have that) so it was just put away in its shiny new box to a dark corner of my apartment till yesterday. I finally got some insole gel thingy, which kind of helped and now I can walk in these pretty heels without them clanging off my feet, as long as the straps are tightened to the closest holes I wore them to Beckie’s birthday party last night – the heels were a bit higher than what I am used to, but it was pretty stable so I somehow survived through the night
