And This Is How I Roll.
It is about time I update this web infested page of mine. My birthday weekend started last tuesday and lasted till Monday, how awesome is it! There are just too many pictures to upload here, so I'll only post up the highlights of them. It is so sweet of them for flying down to Melbourne to celebrate my birthday. The way my mum told me over the phone was, ' hey dear, we're coming in next week.' She state it like a matter of fact and it was as if she planned it all in the last six months. So happy to see them again, I really can't wait for my graduation, and then I'll be back for good. Anyway, so last wed, my sis was the first to arrive. Her insane laughter is something I can never get from anyone else. She's not just my sis but a damn awesome buddy too! I can't imagine all the over the top stuff we've done over the past 23 years. OMG -there I said it, I AM 23 YEARS OLD. But still looking fabulously hot and I intend to stay that way in the next 100 years (self-denial, in progress). Well, I brought her to brunch at BIG MOUTH at St.kilda. Well, they said they were famous for their brunches,but even before I could sink my fangs into my eggs, the waitress got my eggs done sunny side-up. But I wanted scrambled! Oh well, never mind but it tasted alright though. I took her to San Churros after that and I think we got high from chocolate overdosed and went completely bonkus at the beach and Docklands park, which you'll get to see later on.
Brunch at Big Mouth
Started being looney from here onwards

St. Kilda
See what I mean..
Loved my outfit for that day. Chiffon top, hot pants and an orange laced up sandals.Perfect combination for a sunny day.
The next day, we woke up at 6am to pick up our parents from the station, and went on to Docklands for brunch. Also, mum bought us each a maxi dress there. I got a really pretty blue and white striped dress, while sis got a floral lace maxi, and the best part was they only cost $30 for two. The quality was good and I have already worn it four times within this two weeks. Basically, thursday was to get my travel stuff properly settled and I went to STA at uni.Well, previously I thought of heading to Paris, London, Netherlands, Germany and Italy by ourselves. You know, do all the planning myself and have more time doing what we want compared to if we were going on a tour group. But then, sis and mum thought it would be better for us to go on a Topdeck tour with other travellers, and not worry about looking for directions. Then, I decided maybe we should go on tour instead of doing it alone. I don't want to risk us having to waste time just to look for places and miss out on other sightings and shoppings. But, for the Paris and London, we'll both have time do whatever we want as we have four nights each at both cities. The Topdeck tour will only start from London, and then, we'll head Amsterdam-Munich-Venice in a period of eight days and seven nights. So, my trip is 95% settled and really looking forward to it!
On Friday, we head up to Yarra Valley. We went on a Chandon wine tour, which I've never done before, despite being there for about the third time now. Beautiful landscape and setting, perfect place for a weekend getaway. We tried on some champagne, had some ash cheese, truffled infused cheese at the Yarra Dairy Farm. J drove us to the rose garden, and that was pretty much our last stop. We had some picturesque moment and headed home for dinner at Madam Sou Sou, a French restaurant. My family had dinner with some of my friends and it was awesome to have a get together, enjoy some good food and wine. It was the best kind of friday I had.

Love how all three of us are looking at dad's camera

Dinner party
Meet Sofia and Soon-ee. One is a true master at baking, the other is a walking dictionary.
I asked the waiter to teach me how to order my dish in french. I looked at the way his mouth moved, the beautiful accent bellowing from within and his little hand gestures. So sexy.

I love you, my little white dress. You are so versatile, I could rock and ball with you anytime I want.
This is one long post because I had one helluva week! =)

W-W-Weekends!
The good news is my parents and sis will be down in the city next weekend to celebrate my birthday!! =) How sweet of them right??? Bad news, I have a test the day after my birthday and an essay and test due the following week.How nice. I am reading and writing as much as I can today,tomorrow and Sunday, so I can take a breather when they're here. I hope I'll be able to complete my readings for the test by Sunday and read two novels by the end of next week. I never felt this kind of stress in my previous semester, but I'm still blogging and doing normal deb stuff. So I guess it's still manageable.
Anyway, so last weekend J and i went to catch Top Gear Live. You know, I don't know much about cars till I watched their shows. So, while we were walking down memory lane of these supercars, J would go, 'hey, omg, this is a Ferrari F40!' and I would be like 'nice'. He would probably feel the same way if I were to bring him down to Jimmy Choo's vintage.haha, there were so many people there and the weather wasn't good either. It was pouring and yes, my loafers got wet. My loafers got wet! I almost strangled J for taking me there, but the look on his face was like a kid entering a candy store for the very first time. And So I shut up and brushed it off. I should have brought a plastic bag for it, if only I could predict the damn weather. Oh well, largely because J watched them and fair enough, their witty british humour are at most times, hilarious. But sadly, Richard, the short one who was and will always be made fun by his other two co-host did not turn up. It was quite entertaining and the stunts at the main show was quite exciting, except at times I had to re-adjust my position so that the guy sitting next to me would not brush his hairy arm onto mine. Nevertheless, took pictures with some pretty cool cars and yeap, here you go!
I don't know why this car is doing here, but yup, this is the 'Back to the future' car
Vintage Veneta Versus Ferrari F40
Sports car with cute little futuristic doors
Zonda, and yes there are Zonda in Singapore. It is parked alongside with other retardedly pricy cars in a huge house located on a little lane on the way to RTC.
I have always love Lamborghinis but J says the designers are hopeless.
yeah, sure you are..
Jeremy Clarkson and James May
The rest of the pictures are on FB, so yeah. I am officially brain dead. All thanks to Vladimir Nabokov. I'm waiting to have some butter chicken to revitalise me.

Wicked Wednesday
I should get a diary, write down what I do each time I have to sit down and read my lit works/books, and review the list at the end of the year. Sounds like a good experiment?

Brunch at Miss Marples
We brought Katie to Mt Dandening for brunch. It was a good thing that she drives, and so we took her Cooper out for a spin the whole of last friday. J and I haven't been up to Sassafras for quite awhile, and it was nice to head up there again. It was rather liberating to look at the magnificent view from the peak of Dandenong.
This is what we did -
Miss Marples' scones, chicken cottage pie and salmon cheese fingers.
I am going to try make Bread and Pudding next week!
The Tea House - I love this tea house and I would proclaim this as one of the best teahouse ever. When Mel brought me here in 2009, I fell in love with this little shop cause it makes me feel like a first year Hogwarts' student buying potion from one of the wizard shops at Daigon Alley.
Sky High is just one of the many touristy spots to go. They have a small yet cozy garden to walk around. Spectacular view, but sad to say, the food at the cafe was horrendous. The chips were dried, and it felt like they've undergone the process of frying for a couple of times.
Our last stop for the day was at William Ricketts Sanctuary.Well, a strong wave of tranquility swept through J and Katie, but I felt the place was a tad too creepy for timid me. The sculptures were amazingly human like, you could see the expression of the faces quite clearly. But I couldn't look right into their eyes for more than three seconds, I was too afraid the sculpture's eyes might blink or something. I was gracefully freaked out by the many intricately-created statues erected on the ground, next to hundred years old trees.Nevertheless, it was quite a peaceful and enjoyable moment for us three.
The picture I thought stood out from the others that J took. A stunning beauty, isn't it?
I had cupcake session with cell on Saturday, and went to Top Gear on Sunday, which I would post here the next few days. Anyway, I've paid for my Europe trip!! Melbourne-Paris-London-Netherlands/Germany-Italy-Melbourne. I can't wait and this is going to be a highlight to look forward to this year!!
