Anyone who has learned economics will be familiar with the concept of opportunity cost: the cost of choices made measured in terms of the choices forgone. I am now at a stage where opportunity cost plays a crucial role, the last month of university till finals. It is the period that determines you either make it or break it. Obviously at times like these priority changes, things that are more important comes first (cough* assignments and tests) . It is also a time to make sacrifices. Giving up time spent sitting in front of a screen in exchange for time making friends with caffeine, notes and text books. How hard can this be?

I am practicing right now, trying to break the routine that I have been keeping for the past five months. Not an easy feat, but I am getting there. Fingers crossed that I will survive till the very end. For once I  want to conquer and not be conquered.

Can you believe we've hit the month of May already. What better way to start the month with a post of absolutely bombing desserts. It is that good and I am not even joking. La Renaissance is situated at The Rocks. I was blown away as soon as I put a forkful of Zulu (the chocolate one) in my mouth, THE BEST CHOCOLATE DESSERT EVER! Afternoons are better spent here with a cup of coffee paired with any cake or pastry of you liking. I see myself coming back for more and more in the future.

These American Apparel leather carry all are next on my to-get list. A casual take on the usual clutch and holds a lot more. Really am leaning towards the Reptilian Dijon and Reptilian Camel. These will be absolutely perfect for me since they are good dressed up and dressed down.

Weekend summary.

It's been sometime since the last weekend summary. No I haven't got lazy or went into a coma, just that I have nothing much interesting to pin point or share. 

1. The long weekend and mid sem holidays are over, and is pretty much time to get back to work. Second half of the semester is pretty full on. Marked my calenders and I guess I'll hardly have time to take a breather since I'd almost have something due in or a test on every week. Not to mention finals are just 5 weeks away. 

2. Parentals decided they won't be able to take time off work this June so they won't be visiting anytime soon. Which is also why, I booked a flight ticket and I AM COMING HOME few days after finishing with my finals. 

3. Knowing that I will be home in less than two months is also kinda distracting. I have such a hard time focusing now cuz I waaay too excited making plans booking trips and the sorts. Right now I am making promises with myself trying not to think about it because I really need my focus (hello finals?)

4. Attempting to change my lifestyle. Yes. Which also means I am on a diet again. but this time, instead focusing on losing weight I am focusing on actually living and doing my best on every inch of my life. Getting more organised, eating healthy, exercising, drinking more water and green tea, munching on nuts and seeds instead chips, stop being a couch bum, stuff that you have heard about a million times. We'll see how long this will last. 

5. Also, I am trying to hypnotize myself that the junk that I eat alot are absolutely disgusting. 

6. Oh. and also Kate&William's wedding is on tonight, Aussie time.

spent the afternoon wondering around Manly looking for food, and look what we've stumbled upon, legendary Zumbo Macaroons. Flavor selections from their Manly Patissier was a bit sad. there were only five to choose from, so we have to settle for what we've got. nevertheless, it is still the best that I ever had and couldn't wait to go back for more. It also have been sometime since I went to the beach. Was a bit too chilly for sun bathing or swimming, but sitting on the pier, quiet and listen was equally as good. all that is missing is good company.
