    Hello everyone, I hope you have all been fine and dandy the past month or so.  Like I said in my last blog, I recently returned back from Australia.  I was there to attend my mothers wedding, which was awesome might I add.  I'm a big fan of wedding's.  They are so much fun.  Family, friends, tasty beverages, dancing, crying, and more delicious beverages and food.  What more could you ask for really.  So, the wedding was at this amazing location near to where I grew up called froggies. It's a real surfers haven.  I actually had quite a few flash backs of my glory day's as a little surfer chick. My mother looked so amazing, it made me cry and it was so fun to do her make-up.  It gave us a little bit of time to bond before she walked down the sand. Also, my new step-father scrubbed up pretty good too.  I was more than happy to accept him into my family. He is a really great guy.  Great chef too, and i do love food he he.



     Apart from helping with all the wedding preparations and so on.  I used the trip home to spend quality time with the family. 
    I spent a really funny day with my Dad.  First we (jesper and I) attended his man brunch which was pretty much a brunch with all men, drinking wine and gossiping.  Seriously it's not just women that do this.  After the MUNCH (new word for man brunch) we went to the TAB, which is a pub where you bet on horse races.  Usually I'm not up for gambling as I don't want to follow in my father's footsteps  of addiction but on this particular day I thought "fuck it"  and pulled out my wallet.  Also Jesper had not really ever gambled on the horses before so he was really excited.  Anyway, pulling out my wallet really meant a total of 20bucks.  I'm such a tight ass, haha.  This ended up being pretty fun, everyone got so drunk except me cause i had a terrible flu.  Well, to be honest, I had a couple of beers, after all i was on holiday and in Australia the beer drinking capital of the world.  After that, I was supposed to be having a chilled dinner with my girlfriend but instead my father and step-mother joined us and it didn't end up being so quiet.  My Dad was being a crazy man and I think he may have traumatized my friends.  He did add some free entertainment to the night though.  It didn't stop here either.  After dinner we went home and had a little party at my Dad' s, where we danced around the garden to 80"s music, drinking and being very merry.  It was really fun actually.  One of those precious memories I'll keep forever.


    When I wasn't giving my family all my attention I was 100% focused on FOOD.  I ate up a storm.  The food in Australia is so amazing, and I'm not just saying that cause I'm from there it is. Everything is so fresh and yummy, it's one of the things I miss the most.




    Oh, and we theme parked it up this trip too, which is something I have not done in years.  We went to Seaworld and Dreamworld.  At Seaworld, Jesper and I booked  "The Seal Adventure" for something extra special to celebrate our 4 year anniversary.   I highly recommend this to anyone who loves animals.  It was so amazing, these creatures are so precious.  They are so animated and just like us, I think one looked the Sean Connery.  Amazing.
    Dreamworld was also loads of fun.  The tower of terror rocks.  It's not for the faint hearted that's fo sho, and the water slides were wicked fun to.  I'm such a big kid.  My mum is too, so we had a great time. 

    ra
     

    So that about wraps up my trip in Australia.
    Since I have been back in Hong Kong I have also had a lot of radical things going on.  For starters... Halloween.  I do love to put on a costume from time to time.
    That was a great party, thanks  "Alive not Dead" 

    I also attended a 3 day motivation weekend called "The break through to success" This was very interesting. I'm not someone that would usually go to something like this, but I did thanks to a good friend of mine, and I can honestly say that I walked away from the course with a lot of tools and knowledge.
    I also got news that i will be doing a small but important role (this is how I'm looking at it) in a film called JASMINE.  Oh, and also in The Blood Bond.  For my part in Jasmine i will be playing the look alike of a girl who has just been murdered (Jasmine).  I can't give to much away but i can say that I'm very excited to be trying something new.  I have always wanted to be an actress and do movies so this is going to be a great learning experience.  I believe the best way to learn is to be there in the action and learn what you can from your mentors. What better way then to be on set and watch them in first person.  I think it's much better then any school I could go to.  I also shot an opening scene for Wing Shya's first movie, which I believe is called "The hottest summer".  This by the way was so much fun, I get such a high off being on set for TVC's and film's. It's definitely were my heart is at and it's all happening. I'm very excited to work with all these amazingly talented people and absorbing all of their wisdom so that when I get my first big role I'll be well prepared and won't let anyone down, yeee haaaaaa




    PS: Here is my latest TVC which is world wide:

    So i wish i could say "Oh i have been so crazy busy this last month that i have had no time to blog".  I could say this, but i would be a big fat fibber.  So instead I'm going to tell you the truth then, I'm a lazy SH......T. 
    The first 2 weeks of September i spent in Bali.  Jesper and I had planned this trip with my sister all year so we were really looking forward to it.  Three days before our planned departure I had a missed call from my sister saying i needed to call her urgently as she had a surprise for me. I love surprises as usually they mean gifts and I loveeeeeeeee gifts he he.  Anyway so i called her up straight away and she told me her boyfriend and her had decided to get married in Bali while we were there.  So i jumped on the next flight to Bali to help with organizing.
    Wow i had no idea what i had gotten myself into.  My blissful relaxing holiday had turned into a stressful whirlwind of family and drama.  You have to love dis functional family's.  After 3 stressful days of tears, screaming, missed wedding rehearsal, hospitals, missing family members, starvation the day turned out perfect . Our extremely odd and dis functional family seemed to suck it up for one day and create an amazing day for my beautiful sister, and boy oh boy did she look amazing.  I cried my eyes out, what a pussy. 
    Here are some pics, note that poor Jesper is taking the pics and missing out on the fun









    My sister wore a sari because my step mother (her mother) is Indian, she later changed into a traditional white dress.  She looked drop dead gorgeous in both i think.
    The day after the wedding we headed up to the mountains to see some monkey's.  The monkey's were in a bad mood this day and bit my dad quite seriously.  It was scary but also very funny.  Like me, my father is a bit of a prankster so later at lunch (after the hospital) my dad pretended to have rabies.  He was dribbling and frothing at the mouth .  I thought it was hilarious but my step mother freaked out a little. Here are some pics

    Soon after this all my family went home :(  It was so sad i cried my eyes out.  I hate to say good bye.
    This did mean it was time to relax though which was awesome straight to the pool we went

    This pool may be the best in the world, i kid you not it's amazing.  The view is unbelievable.  This is where the wedding was.  The next day we checked out of this fancy place, hired some motor bikes and explored the island.  There is truly nothing better then having the wind race through your hair while exploring a new place. We went to visit some sea turtles too
    Enjoyed some tasty beverages at sunset while watching the surfers grab their last break for the day

    Then we grabbed the boat ..............

    to PARADISE............


    This place is so amazing
    The sunset was captivating ................. 

    This is where our trip unfortunately came to an end, so sad.  Once again you have not failed to show me your unique beauty and charm, i love you Bali
    TAKE ME BACK
    Since i have been back in the H to the K things have been a little slow, I do have a funny pic from my job yesterday to share though. I think it's important not to take life to seriously and to always be able to laugh at yourself. I find myself laughing at myself allot since living in Hong Kong.  Some time's i truly think people go out of their way to publish bad pics of me.  But who cares right.  This does not even look like me

    ha ha ha ha, Having a massive bad hair day, oh dear.
    Anyway that brings me to today.  Sunday i head to Australia for my mum's wedding. 
    LOVE IS IN THE AIR.............
    see you in 2 weeks xxxxxxxxxx

    I think the 2 day weekend on the 5th and 6th of December or the 2 day during the week. I think that's where you'll get the most of it and where you see all the familiar faces!

    So stoked you're coming!
