Romanticise.

Kicking off our bohemian rhapsody with an exquisite cheese-and-cracker platter and raspberry lemon tea. (Thanks Yuxian.)
Discussions on spirituality, wardrobe borrowing, plenty of sunshine (to contradict the season) and relaxing in the garden.
Homemade pizza - vegetarian (capsicum, olives and mushrooms) and a four cheese margherita - to whet our appetites.

Walking on a dream.

  Another excellent day. (There were innumerable photos accumulated throughout the entire day, but these are just a few to sum it up.) Got ready at Yuxian's place before heading out on our trip. The bus ride was basically near an hour-long discussion of how life has been lately. (I've gotten closer to Yuxian since the start of the year, hurray for that!) Together, we marvelled at a ridiculously talented piano player at the markets and trotted around in search of a snack. An abundance of vintage stores had us filing in and out, browsing in awe at handmade clothes and trinkets they carried. Prior to that, we met up with Amanda, Daniel, Lynn and her friend. I managed to snag myself the first Foster The People album, a deluxe edition at that!
  Our group became united as Julia, Mariel and Julian joined us. We had a benevolent meal of fish and chips, right beside the fishing boat harbour. A light-hearted atmosphere all around, thanks to such pleasurable scenery and fantastic weather. We goofed around along the coastline, and by unknowingly doing so, our whole group of people merged into one. We took our shoes off and made a beeline for the beach. By that point in time, I didn't care if I wasn't practically dressed or anything trivial like that. We senselessly capered about, carefree but happy. I couldn't stop laughing the whole time we were frolicking to and fro, and poking fun at our situation. That was when things really started getting fun.
  The nine of us daringly attempted to place our bare feet beneath the streets, every step of the way. In our defence, the ground was comparable to a furnace thanks to the ever-shining sun. Eventually, we found our way to our destination. It's this charming cafĂ© that Yuxian and I were motivated to try. Imagine our excitement upon spotting it, and us remaining dazed at the darling decor. It was incredibly unique, in my opinion, for it to be located next to a small art gallery. We ordered rose iced tea, homemade lemonade and a brownie to share. But wow, I was really taken aback by their brownie. It was the right, precise combination of chocolate and everything else in between. I'm definitely going back there; the ambience is perfect, and their food leaves me wanting more.
  After afternoon tea, we took advantage of the gorgeous earthly setting by snapping away. The staff was kind enough to turn a blind eye towards our mischievous photography opportunities. Once we were done, we played around in the vast field of colossal pine trees. I never got what the definition of 'playing' exactly was, but we sure did it alright. The realisation of school tomorrow and other responsibilities kicked in, and we found our way back to reality. But I think it's safe to say we all went home, immensely satisfied with our time altogether. 

 'We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it, always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it. On and on and on we are calling out and out again. Never looking down; I'm just in awe of what's in front of me.' - Empire of the Sun
