Every once in a while, there comes a time when you just can't deal with any slightest complication in life. You only want to leave all things behind and set off to somewhere far and away. Lately I have been barely able to concentrate neither on my tasks at work nor my research paper. Once summer begins, my priority is planning out a decent trip to some beaches or paradise-like islands. Despite a piling amount of work, I constantly find a precious little bit of time to look for a secluded magnificent bungalow by the beach to stay with my boyfriend during the long long holiday in mid April. I have been indecisive and my boyfriend definitely is not a good decision maker! (Thank God we have finally summed up about which island we are going to!) We have only two options right about now.

One beach we have chosen is called Sairee beach, the longest and most popular beach on the island. It is lined with bars, restaurants, resorts and dive centres. The beach itself doesn't get overcrowded and there is plenty of space to spread your towel and relax. Sairee beach is the place to watch the sunset and with many beach side bars to choose from, sipping a cocktail in the evening is a great way to round off a hectic day of beach bumming. One downside of this beach is not the fact that it will get seriously crowded in April but my ex boyfriend (in the previous post) happens to be a diving instructor at a dive centre located right on that beach. And I happen to have the very least interest to see him now. My boyfriend particularly use the word 'hate' with my ex! Things could get ugly and complicated. Plus I don't want to spend my holiday looking out for him, panicking over if he might show up here and there and whether he's going to see me with my boyfriend or not. That would totally ruin everything.

Another is called Thian Og Bay which seems to be relatively secluded and not-so-touristy compared to Sairee beach. Locally the bay is known as Shark Bay as the water is home to harmless reef sharks. This makes it a perfect location to chill out and get away from the hustle and bustle. Yet, it totally lacks all the civilization I need. I mean no 7-11!!! And I practically live on 7-11 haha! Do you have any suggestions guys? What should I do?

Here is anyway the very lovely summer collection from Forever21! I'm going shopping and these items will be the inhabitants of my closet soon!

the.second.wedding

Of course, not of mine! I attended another wedding of my English major classmate from the university last Saturday and it was literally awesome. No fancy reception and off-the-fairy-tale layers of wedding cake. Just ridiculous amount of great food, endless supply of booze, great music from a live band and bucket loads of fun and never-ending chit chat with friends. It was just the kind of wedding I would love to crash!
I wore my dark grey one-shouldered dress and a new pair of heels. At first, it felt completely uncomfy to walk in them because they made me taller than everyone in the party haha! But after a while, I got used to it and felt terrific. I am still not convinced that I should wear heels more often anyhow.
Here are some photos from that night mostly of me. You can also see the groom and the bride there. My friend was the prettiest girl and despite of her horrible sore-throat, she sang lovely songs all night while her hubby was rolling on the drum set. Pretty awesome couple innit?
