The time is here!
Bite Me edible desk lamp by Victor Vetterlein
I can just start to imagine when we can plough through our way eating the jungle, someone's wall like the gingerbread man story! Awesome!!
The second last photo shows the ingredients of the lamp listed on the electrical strip!! :) When unused and/not needed anymore, you can pluck the strip off and use it as compost for the garden or better yet, JUST EAT IT.

Whenever you feel sad
Pop over to Accidental Chinese Hipsters page on tumblr !! And try not to laugh! It is hands down one of the best pages on tumblr! HAHA meanwhile, don't forget the good ol' 9gag with the memes :D I personally can spend hours on end there sometimes **guilty pleasure. Oh such sad life I lead.
On a lighter note, I finally finished my studio project last Thursday! Now I only have an exam left on Wednesday. If I fail this, I do not know what else to do T.T I'll just have to repeat next year I guess :((
Oh also missing from this blog is my trip down to the state of Victoria. Whoop whoop! Yeah, I went to Melbourne. Yes, it was yet an extremely short trip but really learnt a lot about getting around the place :) and I have to say, I LOVE it there! I love the weather (even though it is very extreme!) isn't that what makes our lives more interesting. The place is very lovely too! Roads are very nicely designed and decorated with beautifully lined trees along the edges, sculptures everywhere. And I mean, everywhere! Just look up and maybe you'll find one sticking out of a pole! The architecture is divine! There's an eclectic mix of classical (of course!) right down to Gothic revival (I heart these ones even though they're not exactly authentic). There's so many contemporary architecture popping out here and there too, especially noticeable are the RMIT buildings located in several locations throughout the city. I just cannot comprehend how in the world Melbourne has managed to save so much of its grand architectural history whilst Sydney threw most of it in the dump and replaced them with some blocky and ugly concrete buildings. WHY CITY OF SYDNEY? Because we are a more commercially-driven society here? Come to think of it, how much better could Sydney look like now if we had kept most of our older architectural gems? Assuming that Sydney may have been a wealthier state in the past, how much more grandeur did we really have in comparison to Melbourne?
If any, (I may be wrong in this) I'm going to compare it with Rome and Naples. As everyone may know already, Pompeii and Herculaneum (Mt. Vesuvius eruption story) are/were located in the Bay of Naples. In those areas we can already see traces of greatness in architecture. Of course, Rome would have been maybe 10 times better but sadly, most of that has eroded over time. It is just lucky for us that Pompeii and Herculaneum were preserved under the debris so that we'd been able to study them more closely. So what I am trying to say is that how much have we lost and why did Sydney bulldoze those things? I know why really, because we wanted to make way for the office blocks used by companies who are our money trees. But why did we not value these things a little higher? They are part of our history and to be able to move forward I don't necessarily think destroying the old is always the right choice. Can you imagine having another 2 or 3 more of QVB or the Strand Arcade. I certainly wouldn't mind it! Dammit. (Yes, this is a fact. Sydney had more arcades back in the day, and no doubt they would have been decorated in the similar lavish manner as the two we still have now too. Don't you just long to see the other ones too?)
Too long of a post today. Photos may be coming soon. Maybe after I finish my final exam.
Ciao! xx
