October Favourites

My favourite month of the year has ended sadly. October is my favourite month for various reasons, one being that the weather finally warms up. However October here wasn't actually that warm, only two or three days above 30. Halloween was great, we ended up having quite a few trick or treaters! Mainly young children in super adorable costumes. I brought a bag of Milky Ways to give out because who doesn't love Milky Ways. I had a few left, maybe I'll go eat them after this post. Anyway, here are my top things for October!

Gaming
Finally collected all the Halloween & Nightmare Before Christmas items in Disney Magical World. Had to reset the game a few times to get the skeleton counter as the request didn't want to spawn. I also managed to finally get the last items to craft the remaining outfit items I was missing. So now I'm only missing some fall and winter specific items and less than 10 cards. The card thing is frustrating as I cannot get the last Daisy card! I got Minnie's somehow the other day and Daisy just keeps giving the same ones and not the Super Rare. Sigh, maybe this month I'll get it from her. I hate random chance in games, makes everything take so much longer.

Music
No new CD's this month but I'm planning on getting Dream Ami and MOMOLAND's new releases next month. Just still trying to decide which versions of BAAM from MOMOLAND to get, leaning towards Type A because I adore the bumblebee style outfits the girls wear on it.

Thinking about getting this version of BAAM.

This month I've actually been listening to some non K-Pop and J-Pop music. Shocking isn't it. I was going through my MP3 player at the gym and decided to listen to some of the older albums in my collection. Many years ago, I was a hardcore fan of this Australian rock band called The Living End. I used to collect all their releases and track down rare promo discs from the band. I've been listening to some of their older stuff recently and thinking about picking up their recent release as well. Here's their most well-known song Prisoner Of Society which was a staple for all the summer music festivals when the band was on the line-up.

Beauty
Managed to track down another flavour of the Kiss Therapy lip balms from Lipsmacker. This time it was the Grapefruit one which is my new favourite. It smells like Passionfruit soft drink (or Pasito as the Kirks brand is called) which is my favourite soft drink besides Raspberry and Vanilla Coke. So strawberry is the only flavour I'm missing now but I'm guessing it's just your standard strawberry scent. Not a huge fan of strawberry lip balms as they are a bit boring and overpowering sometimes.

Stationary
So my friend and I were in one of the Japanese stores in town a few weeks ago and I came across the best sticker set ever. I was so excited when I saw this Maru the Shiba themed stickers. Omg they are just so adorable! The tennis racket one is my favourite. They also had round shaped stickers with similar images of Maru.

During the same trip to town, I found this Winnie the Pooh stamp set from Daiso. It is similar to another stamp set I had brought previously from there and is a decent stamp. You need to be precise with the pressure to get a good print with it and to be careful not the bleed the ink through certain typse of paper. I'm going to blog about my stamp collection in November so keep an eye out for that!

Australian Wildlife Park Visit

Last weekend, I visited a local wildlife park to check out all the cute Australian animals. I hadn't been to this wildlife park for a very long time so I was interested to see how it had changed. The park had a great variety of Australian animals which you can get extremely close to and even touch some of them. The park is popular with tourists and the day I visited was the first warm day of the season so it was nice to finally get to experience some summer style weather for once. If you love cute animals and would like to know more about the amazing wildlife Australia has, please keep reading on to know how my adventure went.

First stop was to visit the Koalas of course. These cute guys are the star attraction of the park and there was a huge line to hold a koala. I've already done this experience at Featherdale Wildlife Park in New South Wales so I wasn't too interested in doing it again. Tourists just love koalas when they visit Australia, they go crazy for them! There was lots of enclosures for the koalas including this one which had quite a few chilling out. Koalas are extremely lazy animals and eat 1 to 2 kilograms of eucalyptus a day! You often see them asleep in the wild, the one near my place is always asleep.

After a quick stop for a hot drink, we headed off to one of the areas where you can hang out with the kangaroos. This was the area I remember the most from my last visit, it's on the side of the hill with kangaroos just lying about. There was a large number of roos in the area, most sitting in the shady spots near trees. You can go right up to the kangaroos and pat them as they are quite tame. At the entrance to the park, you can buy a bag of feed which you can give to animals around the park. I've heard quite a few stories of kangaroos kicking people for their food so I wasn't game enough to buy some because I'd rather not take on one haha. These roos weren't the biggest ones I've ever seen, you see much bigger ones in the outback or national parks.

Nearby was the wombat enclosure and there was a adorable little guy having a feed. Wombat feeding was earlier that morning so he was just finishing off his food. There were two other wombats but they were asleep in the burrows which you can see from a room that is lit up.

This wombat got a bit angry at his food bowl
