I think this acoustic cover of Teenage Dream is better than Katy Perry’s original version.
(He even makes that Justin Bieber song sound good!)

Cheesecakes
I had the best baked cheesecake earlier this week! At first glance, it seems rather plain, but the taste is so good. Plus, it didn’t leave me with that sick feeling afterward, like other rich cakes might do. It’s from Hilltop Cakes in Surrey Hills:
And here is another kind of cheesecake - it’s a face washer actually!

These bags, part of Elle’s Portable Light Project, would be handy - they come equipped with a solar panel which enables you to charge up your mobile phone on the go. My personal favourite would be the DvF one.

Bruno Mars‘ EP It’s better if you don’t understand has been on high rotation in my iPod this weekend!

Last week I had a hankering for burgers - or more specifically, burgers from Grill’d. I was sure there was one in Glen Waverley, but when we got there it turned out to be an Urban Burger instead. Anyway, the burgers there were okay, but it still doesn’t beat Grill’d. (And I finally satisfied my Grill’d craving last night!)

A couple of weeks ago, I decided my Adidas runners which I keep under my desk at work for the gym were getting a little too worn and tired, and weren’t providing proper support anymore. So I was in need for another pair of decent runners, but I didn’t want to shell out too much $$, since they were only going to be kept at the office & were for the gym anyway.
My brother suggested Sneaker Nice and found a pair of Nike Air Max 2009s - and they only cost me around $70 AUD! Let’s see how long these runners last…

As much as I like Olivia Palermo’s sense of style, her personality & attitude on the last episode of The City (or the way the show has edited her) leaves a lot to be desired…

Running out of steam
I am so SO glad that Friday is almost here - even though we had a public holiday on Monday, it’s still been an exhausting week - a combination of an increasing workload at work/scrambling to fit in time to study/the busy-ness of life in general. It was probably a bad idea to have dragged myself to the gym for Body Pump yesterday, when I was already zapped of energy - I thought I was seriously going to black out after the clean & presses!
Tomorrow night after work, I’m just going to have meet up with a friend for dinner & then have an early night - my aim for the rest of this month: to have more than 5-6 hours of sleep every (week)night!

Saturday morning
Why can’t every morning be like today? I love Saturday mornings - it’s the one time I have the option of not having to wake up at 6 & rush around like a headless chicken to get ready. It’s also when I actually have time to make toast, leisurely check my emails, read (& procrastinate a little).

One of the shows I caught up on over the Christmas break was the The City. I think the 2nd half of this season has been more entertaining than the 1st half, with more emphasis on their work life, but mostly because of the tension and animosity between Erin & Olivia, as evidenced by The Many Faces of Erin Kaplan.

I came home from work yesterday to find a parcel sitting outside the front door. It was my Christmas present from my bro (an iPod dock).
Thanks, doode!

There’s 20% off & free shipping from Angus & Robertson until Sunday - what to read, what to read? One of the best reads I enjoyed last year was Jeffrey Archer’s Prisoner of Birth (it was so good I even picked up a copy for my brother), so maybe another one of his books? Or maybe some chick lit…

All good things come to an end
My 2 weeks’ break is almost over! I’m going to miss being able to have those spontaneous afternoon nanna naps…

Christmas 2009
Merry Christmas!
All the healthy eating habits have gone out the window these past few weeks - I’ve been gorging myself on all things junky, like chocolate-covered gingerbread, shortbread etc. As for the gym, I’ve been a bit slack as well, although I guess I’m not the only one - in the lunchtime Pump class @ Fitness First earlier this week, the class was probably only half full. Anyway, I’ve promised myself that starting tomorrow (after tonight’s Christmas dinner with the family), I’ll attempt to be good again!
