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
love.
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
Birthday Dinner @ Madam Sou Sou
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! =)
