I got a mini vacation during the past week from my normal life and my studies, to beautiful Melbourne. The main reason was to see my cousin get his PhD in Philosophy. But also to have a small holiday with my family.

 

I love Melbourne. It's an amazing place of colour and culture, with many different events and festivals on all year round. I had only recently discovered the wonder that is Melbourne at the beginning of the year when I went to visit my cousin there and house sit for a friend of his.

 

I can tell you that i was instantly in love with the city and being able to go back was exciting for me.

Not only did I get to go back to a place that I love, I also got to have a few days from my life in Sydney.

 

So on a sunny wednesday afternoon in Sydney, my mum, aunt, uncle and I hopped on a plane to Melbourne.

 

Whilst Melbourne was cloudy, cold and raining the whole time we were there it was still rather magnificent.

 

Beautiful door handles to a amazingly designed building.

 

A chuch on Fitzroy St St Kilda. I don't actually know what the name of it is.

 

 

 

 

Melbourne lights up at night. From our hotel room we could see the entire of the Melbourne city sky line.

Albert park.

St Kilda beach and Wharf.

 

One of the many interesting intersections in Melbourne. Taken from the inside of RMIT university of Swanston St.

 

We were also lucky enough to see the hollywood costume exhabition, at ACMI(Australian Centre of the Moving Image). Which is a exhabition that has gathered an amazing bunch of costumes from A ton of movies. If you have the chance to go and see this exhabition, do so. Its amazing and the costumes are in stunning shape. I was a little excited about this because they had two costumes from Tim Burton(who is one of my favourite directors) movies. That of a Sweeney Todd costume, and the Catwoman costume from one of the Batman movies he did.

 

While it was only four days, it was a major adventure, as I got to see more of Melbourne than I did last time. This certainly won't be the last time I will visit the lovely city. And even though it was super cold down there, I still had a blast seeing some parts of Melbourne that I missed last time.

Turning 20

Times flies in life when you are having fun.

But it's a strange thought to consider that 12 days ago I turned 20. No longer a teenager and finally (more like hopefully) growing out of my teen stages. I never considered 20 as a big thing. It's no major milestone, not an 18th or a 21st. But it is a new era as well. Changes that only come with no longer being classified as a teen.

 

I was lucky enough to spend my birthday with my family. Then celebrate with a few of my closest friends a week later. It's a great feeling to spent such plesant times with the ones you love.

 

The party was nothing special. Just a few small things that I threw together last minute. No big bash. Just a small gathering. Minus a few key people in my life(who unfortunatly couldn't make it). But it still meant the world to me.

 

 

 

 

 

Spending a few hours with these lovely people certainly made my night. These guys are so important to me and I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for these guys.

Note the onesie craziness, that's actually quite normal for us.

Also the tasty home made cupcake.

 

I wouldn't have wanted to spend a day like that any other way. And it proves that great people do exist in the world.
