You got to love randomness of life

I am sorry I haven't been updating in such a long, long time! I figured that it's really hard to keep track when you're out travelling like this. I have no idea how other blog people do it, but well, i'm not really that kind of person either!

I have so much things I have to write down.
At this very moment im chilling out with Sonja in Kuta on Bali, our last night. We have now been out for about 2,5 weeks. During those weeks a lot has happened I asure u!

11th of July me and Sonja was on our way to Denpasar in Bali with a connecting flight in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. ( i know it is a huge d-tour but it was cheaper that way). Unfortunetly we missed our connecting flight from KL to Denpasar so we pretty much "got stuck" in Malaysia (not that we cared even though we were pretty freaked out at first, but hey!). We decided to take advantage of that mistake and travelled Malaysia for two days! It was a freaking amazing experience!

The other day when I was talking to my dad on the phone I heard that my mum went to California the day before, just like that so just like that I decided to meet her up. I rebooked my globe ticket and tomorrow I'm going to Cali! It's gonna be the longest flight on earth going from here, via Perth and Sydney to L.A and finally reach my destination San Fransisco!! But totally worth it, it's gonna be so much fun to meet her after 7 months away from Sweden and my aunties as well. I'll be away from Melbourne for a while.

I will update soon again, with pics.




TEPPANYAKI!

Hey, so tonight we are going to South Melbourne to try something called teppanyaki! Teppanyaki is when a chef cooks your food at the table. It's a restaurant in South Melbourne called Sakura, supposed to have soooo gooood japanese food! Special occasion since it's our "last night" in Melbourne and we are also celebrating our beloved Khine on er 25th birthday! Wah, im excited to try it! And the reason why I say "last night" in Melboune is that we're not gonna party that much when we get back! Gonna hermit up, working working working! Save, save, save!

Packing mode!











Gaaaaad, I don't get it! How the hell did we get so much stuff? We came here with one backpack each and now our whole room is covered with clothes and all this random stuff as well..as;djansd.
But yeah, fun though to find all those things I have that I've forgotten.. old postcards, boardingcards, letters you've got from other people... Haha Oh and I actually found a plasic ring I got from a guy on Koh Samet in Thailand! Hahah, I remember me and Lovisa got one each from those guys who held the fireshow at the beach every night...

I doesn't really hurt that much to pack our things, Amanda is more emotional about it that we are. Gonna miss this apartment though, so bad! And Khine, our beloved housemate and friend.




 5 feb 11 - Cairns to Brisbane

I found my boardingpass from Cairns to Brisbane! Like my escaping from Cairns and the cyclone boardingpass!
Wow, so cool seriously. 

 I remember when we booked it. We were sitting in Cairns. We just got back from Cape tribulation when everyone were talking about the incoming cyclone. It was supposed to be bigger than the first one and we knew the first one caused so much damage. We knew that if we stayed we would probably have to stay in security rooms for 1 week at least (and we later heard ppl did).. Hahaha I actually remember how we checked the weather forecast and that you could actually see this huuuuge thing coming in from the ocean..like double the size of the first one..so in panic Maja, me and Tom from Heron Island (we met him in Cape and lived together in Cairns) booked our tickets down to Brisbane. Haha because of that quick decision we are here..
  I wouldn't be in Melbourne with Sonja at this moment Haha, so so so weird. Will keep this old boardingpass forever seriously..


Lyckligare an livet

I feel like i'm high on life! Being here and doing what I'm doing feels more right than anything!
Glad to feel that way about my decisions in life. I can't feel more than freaking proud over everything I made myself do the last 12 months.

Coming back to Melbourne after Bali is gonna be a beginning of a new era! New job, new apartment.
Every day is gonna be one day closer to our dreamtrip and we are gonna work for it, hard!
First thing we are going to do when we feel ready is to do a roadtrip through Australia! Dieing to see more! This countrie has so much to offer...

So now Sonja and I are gonna head out to get some boxes to put all of our stuff in. Gonna start packing today, we have so much stuff lieing around and it's also time to let those backpacks of ours, both well hidden under our bed, to see some sunlight again..



The decision is made!

I know you all back in Sweden have been waiting for Sonja to come home! You know what? SHE IS...NOT!
Yesterday she came home, sat at the kitchen table without saying anything. She just looks at me with a smile in her face and says with her destroyed voice (she could barely speak all day yesterday because of her cold):

 "I think we should book our flight back, to Melboune." 

The decision is made! SUCKERS SHE IS STAYING WITH US! <3






mon.04.07.11



Ah, I feel so glad!
Spoke to a few friends back home in Sweden last night, one of them is Jennie!
Oh my gorgeous, I've missed her so bad! And as we were talking about what's going on in
life she started to search for tickets to Melbourne. Haha, even though we're only talking about it
it's a nice thought if she would ever end up here with us. 

Speaking with friends and family back home
makes me feel so alive. Some people are asking if it's not hard to leave everything back home
but as long as you keep in touch with the people you care about, I can't see the problem with being away.
Of course it sucks sooo much that you can't do things together and that you miss out on important moments
of peoples lives, like prooms, graduations and birthdays.. But still, you have to do your own things in life too, at the end of the day you have to do whatever makes you happy. Don't ever not do what you wanna do in life, doesn't matter how old you are, what youre doing in life or where you're from..after I've met so many people from all over the world that's what I learnt! It's never to late to just do your thing! Life is to short to wait around for the right moment..

MSTRKRFT feat John Legend - Heartbreaker

Remember when I caught your eye
you gave me rainbows and butterflies
we did enjoy our happiness ?
when our love was over
I was such a mess

I smiled at you
and you smiled back
that’s when I knew
there ain’t no turning back
you said you loved me
and I did too
now though it’s over
I still love you

you’re in my mind
you’re in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
all my friends said you’d break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start

I tried to fight it
I tried so hard
and every day
I pray to god
that you and me were meant to be
but you had another
you had a lover
and now its gone
I don’t know why
I feel like crying
just want to die
I can’t look at you
and you know why
no I tried so hard
to catch your eye

you’re in my mind
you’re in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
all my friends said you’d break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start

you’re in my mind
you’re in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
all my friends said you’d break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start

La Di Da!




So finally we went to La Di Da! Waah, I wish we had gone there earlier, instead we waited 4 months to actually get there! I thought they were only playing RnB so I didn't really wanna go there before, and now we only have this weekend and next weekend left so I promised Sonja that we would go there! And it was like the best nightclub I've been to in Melbourne! The music was freaking amazing, couldn't stop dancing! So we danced our asses of til late and trust me when I say I can feel it in my body today... They played so good remixes of so many songs so you were just waiting for them to play the next song, excited to hear more.. haha sound like such a nerd, but seriously! So good..

Shrine of rememberance

10 days left in Melbourne before Bali! We felt that we really have to do those touristie things around here before then, so that's what we've been up to the last couple of days! Yesterday me and Sonch went to Shrine of rememberance. Shrine of rememerance is like a memorial for all the men and women in Victoria that served Australia in the World War I. It's not very old though, the design is just very classical, which is cool! Think they began to build this thing like in 1918..  I was pretty impressed by it actually!























Look, that's where we live!

After Shrine of rememerance me and Sonch went to Chinatown for Korean buffet (10 bucks, so fucking cheap and so gooooooood!).
