Malabar Beach

My birthday was this week so Kyle and I went to our favourite guilty food place on Saturday - Sunny's Take Away in Chiefly.We ordered fries, a battered sav, potato scallops, a pineapple fritter, and their mind blowingly awesome, deep fried chili chicken wings and ate at nearby Malabar Beach. 

The beach has a wealth of rock pools running down one side of the beach during low tide, where sea slugs, small fish and crabs can be found lurking. Only locals tend to visit the beach, with one cafe nearby, making it a great spot to chill out. Or pig out on super junk food.

Hi, my name is Connie

Since I was recently tagged on Instagram to share 20 facts of myself, I thought it would also be a suitable first post. The caption layout is beyond my control...

I was tagged by @tsumtendo to share 20 facts about me, it's harder to do than I realised... 1. I'm 26, turning 27 soon! 2. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science and Education and completed honours in biochemistry 3. Currently working as a clinical trial coordinator 4. I was born in Hong Kong and my family immigrated to Sydney, Australia when I  was 2 5. Despite 10+ years of weekend Chinese school I can't read or write in Chinese and have a heavy Australian accent when I speak Cantonese 6. I have an 8 year old beagle, Benson, that I spoil. He's too cute to say no to :( 7. My partner is currently a PhD student studying location based games, mainly Ingress, and recently held a public lecture on Pokemon Go 8. I really got into gaming during university when my friend gave me a Steam code for Left 4 Dead 9. My favourite console is the New 3DSXL 10. My favourite game atm is Overwatch 11. My favourite manga is Yotsuba&! 12. My favourite book is The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss 13. My favourite animal is the shark 14. I'm intensely stubborn 15. And messy 16. My student job was working at a theme park, Luna Park, where I met my partner 17. My partner proposed to me in Bryant Park, New York, next to the carousel because that used to be where I was always put at Luna Park 18. One of my favourite life experiences was staying with a Tibetan refugee family in Nepal for a month (part of my teaching degree) 19. But I hope to travel more 20. I love getting to know more about people, even if I didn't tag you! 😁 Thanks for slogging through this post!
