Had good yummy food (There were Spanish,German,Chinese,Jap,Babylon,etc..).Sadly didn't manage to take pics of everything and the food we had. Manage to take this~Strawberry fondue both Sindy and I had.Yum~

There were also stalls selling unique accessories and clothes, home made chocolates, soap bars, art works, paper lamps, metal plates,temporary tattoos, etc...

I managed to pick up a unique ring crafted from leather into a rose as well as an Amethyst pendant that I've been searching for awhile.Pretty good prices too!hehe..

Definitely worth visiting!

St.Kilda Beach Trip

Went to St.Kilda Beach today. Haven't been there for quite awhile. Sunny day but with cold wind,probably because we were by the beach also. Had a late breakfast there,waited 30min for our food to arrive!But the waiter was kinda cute,so it was alright!hehehe...Browsed through the 'Art & Craft' market,some were pretty cute but also comes with a cute price!hahaha

Jacqueline & Adam's Wedding

This is for those of you who missed out on Jacqueline & Adam's wedding.I should've upload this earlier but never got round. It was a sweet & wonderful wedding with both the bride and groom's parents and friends. It was a touching moment. They are now in NY.Wishing them all the best in everything!Missing you Jacq!Hope to visit you!

 

My New Shoe

This is my new Miu Miu replica shoe I bought from Zomp on Chapel st. It has been awhile since I bought a new shoe and I had my eyes on this when it first came out.Was waiting for the price to go down but it has been months and it has not gone down,so I thought, what the heck,shoe prices are pretty standard here especially ones like these.I chose black out of 3 other different color,more versatile!

Do you like it?hehehe.... 

Big Chess Set

Every Sunday there's a set of big plastic chess placed in front of L'n Control where anyone can play. I happen to walk pass and there was this guy with a little boy having a go at the game. I found it cute and took pics of it especially the little boy. Didn't stay long enough to find out who won!

 

Cake night!

Sindy was craving for cakes tonight so we went to L'n Control for cakes.

She had Choc cheese cake and Sandy & I shared Tiramisu, it was one of the best Tiramisu I've tasted!hehehe...Can't remember when was the last time we actually sat down and enjoyed cakes!It was great!Today's weather was a bonus on the cake indulgence!Hopefully the weather will maintain! 

SODA nite

Sandy,Sindy and I went to SODA at 169 Exhibition st last saturday the 18th to support Benny on his DJ gig.He was a crowd pleaser....naturally *ehem*, are you Benny?hehehe...You were good!Thank you for the dedication to me too!Gonna miss You!xx

It was Japanese night, but nothing special about the whole event!It was stuffy and crammed with people.Not the best of place or night to be.

Benny and Sandy stayed over at my place,Sandy snored!You were still pretty tired!Rest well hun! 

Aiming for HD!

CONGRATULATIONS SANDY!!

You did well!Knew you can do it!

All over for you now,moi turn!

The sound of a Kiss is not so loud as that of a canon,

but its echo lasts a great deal longer.

EXHAUSTED!

I am so exhausted!

Been in and out of uni everyday, will go on til next week!That's for sure!

Have been sewing in school, 2 of my garments are almost done...just a lil bit of here and there to go. Another 1 to sew and 1 to draft before I can sew. That's 2 in total to sew...oh, and another singlet and tights, basic complementary garments. Still..on my 'to complete' list! There's boards as well!Have not started the boards!!!sniff sniff....If you are wondering what am I doing here updating my blog..this is the only break I have before I start my development work. No rest for me really....besides eating and showering.

Oh well, this is the last of what life in uni is about for me!Might as well make the most of it!
Wish me luck!

.....

Today is just one of those days I feel shitiest!

Did not get a good sleep, tossing and turning the whole night!

Was not productive in school, not at all!

Everything just seem to be in the way or annoy me...I literally sparked at every little thing!

I just feel down and shit.

Sorry if you were one of my victims today.I am rarely like this, but when I am, that means I really feel down. Better out of my way!

To Rachel

HAPPY 23 rd BIRTHDAY RACHEL!

Love ya lots, xx

The Last of My Millinery

This was my last contribution towards my accessories/millinery class. I made 2 black roses for my Phantom of the Opera/Venetian inspired mask fascinator. I wanted something DRAMATIC.

The other fascinator was made of Sinamay and was inspired by pretzels!I know, of all things!Pretzel came to my mind when I was twisting the sinamay,hence, the outcome. I added fur and diamantes to prettify it...hehe...This was chosen to be put on display after assessment today!YaY!

I made a Barbie leg brooch.Inspired by budoir. I really wanted it to work more extravagantly but time only allowed this.Nonetheless, I am happy with it.

Any orders for Melbourne Cup?HAHAHA

p/s: Thanks Sandy for being my head model!

Unpleasant Dinner!

Last night was a very awkward and unpleasant night!Thanks to this guy that decides to express his frustration from work or gawd knows what other situation he came across with!A 26 yr old guy mind you!Sorry it happened Sandy!I feel for you deeply.This guy just ruined the dinner and the atmosphere of the dinner was so tense that you could barely enjoy the food!Because of this,Sandy got indigestion!I didn't feel like I had dinner at all...I felt like I was sitting at a table with some random people and heard arguements live!I don't know why but I felt pissed.

AAarrRgGGgghHHhhhhhhhhh........

There were other things that pisses me as well but I'd rather not mention it further.Volcanoes would erupt if I do!

Photoshoot

My photoshoot was on Monday.
I had Elizabeth from the other class to model my garments for me.A nice and friendly Norwegian girl.I requested orange and yellow eyeshadow on her...she looked Fabulous!
Thanks Elizabeth!
 

Happy MID-AUTUMN Festival

Yummy Yummy Mooncake!hehe...Have U had one? 

A Gift from Sandy

This is a Melissa shoe given to me by Sandy. It was too big for her therefore, she gave it to me. A plastic shoe that is made in Brazil. Very unique indeed!Looking forward to wearing it in Summer!!Thank you Sandy dear!! xx 

Flowermaking in Accessories

This week in accessories class we had flowermaking. This is my first attempt at making a flower out of silk habitue. First lesson was to make a rose. First we rinse the fabric in PVA+water, then we hang them/blow dry the fabric. Next, we created pattern pieces in 3 different size plus a piece for finishing. We cut the the fabric from the pattern pieces(placed on bias) and to start off, I folded a rectangle piece to look like a flower bud and tied it with wire. Florist tape was used to wrap around the wire. Then I moulded and rolled the edges with my thumb/fingers for a real rose effect.I placed each one on one at a time. Each petal were sewn to hold the petals together. This is not a completed rose but would like to share it with you guys!A rose for everyone~ ;) 

A Hand in Photography

This was in GPO a few weeks back.They had the ceiling hanging with birdcages.There were birds in every cage!



This is one of the famous clock in Melbourne Central.Every hour the clock will chime a tune.This clock was not moved when they reconstructed Melbourne Central.



Sunset view from my apartment.



Another sunset view from my apartment,moving right from the first pic. 

To Sindy & Sandy~

The wooden heart earring was made by me. It was actually a button but I decided to make it into a pair of earring.I made a pair for Sindy, Sandy and myself. Hope you guys like it!


This set of keys were actually a mind puzzle piece. Sindy and I were at Mind Games, a game shop down on Swanston st to look at what they sell in the store (Been here for 3 yrs but never stepped in before!) when I came across this. I had in mind to make it as an accessory,it is a trend to wear keys around your neck!Hahaha...Retailers marked up such high price for a simple key necklace that I thought this would make a great key necklace at more than a fraction of the price!Sindy agreed too!That's why we decided to get it.Now it has become a symbol of our friendship!Some idiot from my class said it was a 'lover's' thing!Female to female?Try friendship luv!

Geography of Man & Woman

Really feel like a bit of travelling? Certainly before 35

Geography of a Woman

Between the ages of 15 - 18 a woman is like China or Iran. Developing at a sizzling rate with a lot of potential but as yet still not free or open.

Between the ages of 18 - 21 a woman is like Africa or Australia. She is half discovered, half wild and naturally beautiful with bushland around the fertiledeltas.

Between the ages of 21 - 30 a woman is like America or Japan. Completely discovered, very well developed and open to trade especially with countries with cash or cars.

Between the ages of 30 - 35, she is like India or Spain. Very hot, relaxed and convinced of its own beauty.

Between the ages of 35 - 40 a woman is like France or Argentina. She may have been half destroyed during the war but can still be a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between the ages of 40 - 50 she is like Yugoslavia or Iraq. She lost the war and is haunted by past mistakes. Massive reconstruction is now necessary.

Between the ages of 50 - 60 she is like Russia or Canada. Very wide, quiet and the borders are> >practically unpatrolled but the frigid climate keeps people away.

Between the ages of 60 - 70 a woman is like England or Mongolia. With a glorious and all conquering past but alas no future.

After 70, they become Albania or Afghanistan. Everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there.

Geography of a Man

Between the ages of 15 - 70 a man is like Germany.A strange landscape, but filled with beer and thoughts of dodgy porno movies.

Dedicated to Jacq+Adam

This was Jacqueline and Adam's last night in Melbourne before they were due to fly 6am the next day to Perth. We decided to be adventurous for dinner and went to this old,really old Italian place for dinner called 'Pellegrini's' (I think that's how you spell it!). Thought it might be good since it has a lil'bit of history to it and it being there still after so long!Boy,were we all wrong!The food were nowhere near GOOD,it was below average,for me at least!I ordered Lasagne and I could not see what was in it!It cost me $13!!Damn not worth it!Sorry Jacq!It's not u,I did agree on trying but got really dissapointed!All in all,it was still an experience.Did I mention that it was a bar like seating?The place was a like a fast food Italian diner!

After dinner we went to Strike.We had 2 games of pool.Chen Haur and I in a team while Jacq and Adam a team. We lost the first round cause Chen Haur sent the white ball in with the black ball.Jacq and Adam won the 2nd round,we had 3 balls left!It was fun,pool area was not packed!

Next we went for a game of bowling.Adam scored 147!He was the best among us!Jacq came in second,I came in third and Chen Haur came in last!He didn't like bowling.

They stopped by my place to have a look before Chen Haur sent them back to their hotel.After giving Jacq and Adam a hug, I could really feel that they were leaving for good.Gawd knows when will the next time be when I see them again!I felt the sadness all the while til I went to bed.I was really really tired so I fell asleep without much thought.

Missing you already Jacq~
Hope that I will get to visit you and Adam someday soon!
Take care!
