I have decided to do a bit of a different
blog post this week. As I recently
started an Instagram account for this blog, I have definitely been inspired to
capture more of my surroundings.
Although, a lot of these moments never make it to the blog as I feel as
though I may not have enough content to dedicate a single post to them. In saying this, I have decided to compile
some of my favourite moments from this month and share a bit about them. Enjoy!
Morning Tea in Tiong Bahru // Singapore
There were a few moments from my Singapore trip that for some unknown reason I never included in my original blog post! One of which was a morning tea I had in the quaint area of Tiong Bahru. Tiong Bahru is
definitely one of Singapore’s hidden gems. If you are a lover of whimsical
stores, which are brimming with items that you would have no chance of finding
anywhere else, you will surely be mesmerised by this area. Not to mention that Tiong Bahru has the best
cupcake shop I have ever been to! If you are ever in the area, be sure to check
out the stores; Books Actually and Plain Vanilla Bakery. The beauty of this area is that during the
week it can be so quiet that it doesn’t even feel like Singapore! You will most
definitely become lost in the countless café spots and the treasure trove of unique
shopping locations.
What a thrill! It was so exciting for me to witness something so prestigious and have just a glimpse into the world of politics and global relations. I have never really heard someone involved in politics speak before, so for my first experience to be hearing the Australian Prime Minister was something I highly regarded. As I am studying a degree in Communications, I really enjoyed watching how the Prime Minister carried himself. It was also fascinating for me to listen and analyse his choice of words, especially during the question and answer time. I was really impressed by the lecture and was able to take a lot out of it. I couldn’t help but think how ironic it was that I had to come all the way to Singapore from my home in Australia to hear the Australian Prime Minister speak…but it was definitely a special addition to my holiday and is bound to be a great conversation starter in the future!
The Annual Singapore Lecture at the Shangri-La Hotel // Singapore
Another previously unpublished moment from Singapore was being invited to the stunning, Shangri-la Hotel for the 35th Annual Singapore Lecture given by the Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott.
Grandparents Farm // Rosewood
A few weeks ago I headed to my grandparents
farm for dinner. As they live in the country, we don’t get to go there very
often, but I always enjoy the change of scenery.
When the sun was setting, we decided to
walk to the farm to get a better view. It was breathtaking! There really is
something special about being in the country and having no buildings
obstructing your view that makes a sunset so much more spectacular. The sky was
painted with neon strips of colour, so I couldn’t help but get my camera out
and continue to be awestruck by my surroundings.
City Botanical Gardens // Brisbane
Last week after a lecture I had a bit of
time to kill before my bus came, so I decided to go for a walk around the City
Botanical Gardens. It was a pretty
gloomy day, but there is something so peaceful about walking around areas with such
lush greenery. The open areas and scenic walking paths make it an ideal spot to
just stop and relax.
