Just a little filler, just whiling away my days
It has certainly been quite a while since I've written and that's because I've been on mid-semester break! Or rather, two weeks off from university but more or less two weeks to finish off assignments due in the first week back. Nevertheless, I had some time to enjoy life a little and of course what better way than spending it with Scott and friends?
Scott and I went to a Moon Lantern Festival at the beginning of our break which was rather interesting. Being Asian it was quite an experience going to something I had gone to all my life in a foreign country where these things are pretty alien to locals. It was great seeing as many Australians as Asians enjoying themselves though, it's amazing how things can bring people together despite the vast differences. I think Scott enjoyed it, I know for sure he enjoyed these...
Potato on a stick! They were sooo good! But enough about that, here's a peek at what we actually went to the festival for.
There were some extraordinary lanterns and the parade was truly beautiful. My personal favorite was the Japanese traditional fan, I'm due to get one of my own from my Grandmother soon so I guess that's why it was my favorite of the lot (:
Anyway, other than that what have I been up to? I did a photo shoot with a photographer I've been dying to work with: Tony. He's such a sweetheart and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to do a shoot with him. Here's one of my favorite "motion" shots (even though I look distracted!):
Scott was nice enough to take me back to his hometown, Millicent, for the holidays. I went with him earlier in the year so it was great being able to go back and see his parents and enjoy the quietness of Millicent. Being a city girl (that is, not that I prefer cities but just that I've grown up in cities), I love the country and South Australia has the best country side in my opinion.We returned to Adelaide only to set off again to another town called Laura which was where Scott's best friend, Max, had his 21st birthday party. It was a good night and we all definitely had a blast. Admittedly though, I was quite exhausted by then and all I wanted to do (and still do!) was get a proper night's sleep.
Alex, or Lexi, and I (: She's one of the most amazing people you'll ever meet.And that sums it up really. I will hopefully be able to post in the upcoming weeks even though I have an assignment due every single week this month and two exams next month to prepare for. But I return home to Sri Lanka on the 20th of November for the summer break so there won't be a shortage of posts then, promise!
