Just Hangin' ...AROUND MY NECK!!


My dearest friend Han got this for my birthday present. She said to me "Now you can take Nomi with you everywhere". 
So here you are again my beautiful sister, holding a flower.... close to my heart each day.
Thankyou hannee :)

Lions, Tigers and...bikes? Oh my!





I just got home from uni, after a stressful exam where I think i may have guessed every question, even after my multiple hours of study, and a lecture making me feel sick about the busy-ness of third year occupational therapy.
What better way to have a relax before more extreme study, then write to you my dear sister...so far away.


I don't know if you've heard the exciting news! BUT, my all time favorite (spelt the american way just for you ;)   ) Disney movie, The Lion King was finally released from the vault! If anyone doesn't know...Disney put their most precious movies in lockdown, and sets them free when the suspense just gets too much for people to handle!


Stephy and I (sorry if you read this kristen!!), went to see it the other night!...in 3D. Not my favourite original 2D. but thats ok! 
To explain my excitement would be like trying to explain something like the Krebs Cycle (sorry lots of uni references today) but yes, very difficult! 
I felt like skipping up the stairs to the movie and the insane smile on my face was lighting the dark cinema up! (OK. now i sound like your 'special' sister again! haha)
Stephy and I were feeling rebellious and didn't sit in our allocated seats, as we felt we needed to be perfectly comfortable; for the next 2 hours of our life would be a walk down memory lane, of the beloved Lion King.


I must admit I had tears pouring down my face in the opening scene...(yes they were even dripping down my top, I'm almost embarrassed to say)...you can imagine what the rest of the movie was like. OH dear. 
It is most definitely the best Disney movie ever made....with so many wonderful life lessons like:
- Hakuna Matata (it means "no worries" incase you forgot)
- True love :)


- Never trust your uncle if he's friends with Hyenas, and has a suspicious scar ...and is suspiciously named scar 
- When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. So we are all connected in the great Circle of Life 
- Baboons are insane...yet wise at the same time!
- It's very scary when you're parent yells "Simba!! (or insert other name) I'm very disappointed in you!...you deliberately disobeyed me!" :/ gllll
Pure Joy 


It was a wonderful night and a wonderful movie and if it's still out in the US of A i suggest you go and see it and remember the beauty of the amazing Disney animation and story line and songs :)
Oh and I think i may have told you this, but have you met Adult Simba's voice??
This is one of my favourite movie scenes of all time :)




You may also be thinking...why the Lions, Tigers and...bikes? oh my!
Well I know how much you love riding your bikes, and I know how much you and Richard can appreciate bikes. 
PREPARE TO BE AMAZED! Because I am about to blow your mind with this novelty bike!
Quick explanation: My friend went to stay with his family in Canada, and his Uncle is an avid bike rider! and he made this bike! and yes...he rides it! 
I want you to go to Canada to get one these bikes to ride around New York on! You'd be the talk of the town ;) PS. how beautiful are the sunflowers near this cute little house! ...in fact it's Austin's families house! Naomi i think we need to build a replica of this house :)

It's 100% safe :)
