Nerd Travels // Brisbane Photobook 4 [Finale]

Hello dear readers! This Photobook marks the end of my trip to Australia. Feeling a little emotional...but instead of being like Debbie downer, lets look at the bright side of things! When this blog post goes up, I would be off to China for another business trip a.k.a audit assignment. To be more specific, I would have been there for 2 weeks already.

My last day in Brisbane was well spent. Did some window shopping at Myers and David Jones, walked along Queen's Street Mall, sat down and listened to the heart touching performance which reminded me of my previous relationship. Also, it was a windy day! Not even joking. A few person actually shut their ears using both hands because the wind was so strong that even the ear hurts. HAHA! Thank goodness I wore jeans. There was actually a moment where I could barely move because the wind was blowing towards my directions.

Had a simple yet delicious burger at Grill'd, headed back to the hotel to grab my luggage then went to the train station straightaway. My return flight was from Gold Coast Coolangatta Airport therefore I had to catch a train back to Gold Coast before taking the flight back home :) Travelling alone allowed me to live the moment, do whatever I want freely, think about me myself and what I want out of life.

Nerd Travels // Brisbane Photobook 3

I do get asked alot, how do I stay so inspired and passionate about everything at all times especially when I travel. Buildings look the same, food aren't so much of a difference and trees are the same colour anyways. I guess its the mentality I carry around with me wherever I go. No matter where I am, I do try my best to see the beauty in everything that surrounds me. That is the reason why the smallest things entices me just as much.

In the pictures above, sophisticated buildings nicely structured alongside with coloured windows and exposed bricks. dark blue river with golden ray skimming above as dusk was falling rapidly. To me, the experience is all different and none will be exactly the same.

Happy Wednesday people! <3

Nerd Travels // Wandering In Brisbane City In Autumn

If you can't tell, it was burning hot in Brisbane during my stay. Where did Autumn go?! My first day in Brisbane was a Saturday and also coincidentally was Anzac Day. I wasn't sure what day was it at that time, but it is Australia's most important national commemorative occasion. Roads were blocked till noon, churches were flooded with people at 4:00am in the morning & shops were all closed! I was actually glad it was Anzac Day because blending in the crowd watching the parade, eating bagels as I walk around town and clap hands celebrating national day the Australian way was so much fun. Also, thank goodness several restaurants were open or else I would have to starve. So this is what I wore:

Nerd Travels // Brisbane Photobook 2

Its-mid week. Are you having the mid-week syndrome where you feel that half of the week has gone by yet the weekend feels so far away? I feel you. *bro-high-five* One of the coolest outfit I've styled so far. Got so many compliments that day and heck yes do I know my shoes are beautiful. Thanks guys!

Street styling, wrecking my inner bad ass, oriental vibes, flowers, a smile, weirdo and the most relaxing yet embarrassing selfie in history. Since I have been travelling alone, taking pictures would only mean either a selfie, a selfie with scenery or just scenery, nothing else. But since I met a guy that day, he offered to take pictures for me! Lmao. Therefore the 3 full body shots. And nope I did not give him my number even though he asked ; )

Before I babble about my relaxing and embarrassing story, I have to let you know that I went back to the hotel for a short nap and changed into a skirt for the night out, right after my afternoon stroll. So as I was waiting for the sun to set,  I sat on the grass by the river, looked into the blue sky & listened to the merely-there jazz music from the city far opposite. Didn't take me long to decide to lie down and 'enjoy life' like a wanderlust. YOLO. The embarrassing part came in when I struggled to get up, and by the time I got up, bits of grass were on my hair, specs partially falling off, skirt was wet and also on the verge of showing my panties. Also, did I mention that there was a professional guy photographer on my left trying to catch the sunset, a teary emo university girl on my right and a continuous flow of pedestrians walking by? Gosh. Now I know why am I single. HAHAHA!

Have a wonderful day ahead! Come back on Friday for an autumn fashion post :) Details of what I wore in Brisbane as I wander around the stylish city and also a touch of Anzac Day! *cheers*

Nerd Travels // Brisbane Photobook 1

Welcome to part 1:4 of my Brisbane Photobook. Brisbane oh Brisbane~ How beautiful you were. Woke up to the stunning city view, snuggled in my bed with some fruits and a cup of hot coffee. Watched the sunset at the highest point of Brisbane [Mount Cootha], stood under the clear sky watching cars go by, the calm river & white yachts, coffee, selfie, dinosaur and even Ferris wheel! What's else?

As I was taking an easy stroll along the river, I saw an old couple cuddling, heard the sound of a baby laughing, young teens roller skating and even university student with a gifted voice singing on the green field underneath the tree. It's the little detail you take note that makes life wonderful.

Have a great day ahead <3 Remember to come back on Wednesday for the 2nd piece of Brisbane!
