My 21st

Things that i have learnt after organizing my 21st Birthday party:

- Good food is one of the major keys to a decent party! I am so glad that Ipoh Garden Restaurant provided high quality catering food that made my friends crave for more.

- Homemade tuna sandwiches were loved by gym junkies

- Spotlight offers $0.99 per helium balloon (strings included)! The original plan was to purchase a disposable helium tank that costs $40 which turns out to be a more time consuming and costly option!

- Helium balloons still make my day and I'm glad I didn't splurge on unicorn helium balloons.

- Kmart sells the typical red plastic party cups and offers the cheapest price.

- Dorritoes will only be opened when people start getting tipsy

- Pony Piñata makes me aggressive and its not really flattering.

- Finding a white dress is harder than i thought!

- I have amazing siblings and friends who helped planning and making my 21st party such a memorable one and I'm forever grateful for their unconditional love.

- And to friends who cleaned up the house ( including ppl's puke and pee) while I was dead asleep?!! I really COULD NOT ask for more , really.

-Ultimately, I have learnt that a good party simple requires people who you truly treasure being gathered at one place.

My four best freinds

THE WOONIES

Me, Marianne, Amelia, Melanie, Clement

Growing up with four siblings had made my childhood an interesting journey where i was constantly given the chance to live life with fuelling curiosity and creativity. Together, we were really fascinated with the world around us and would find little things (even in our house) rather ...engaging.

My siblings and i would spend hours at the garden plucking all sorts of plants to smash it up with a rock to produce herbal soup. We knew plucking those plants and ruining the garden will cause trouble with mum, so we would store the precious herbal soup into a container and hide it underneath a tree to make sure no one gets in trouble, and even if we do, we would blame it on our brother.

The drain outside our house was our mini zoo, with no entrance fee and closing hours, the older siblings would jump in to catch fishes while Melanie and i would just stand at the corner and watch with envy.

The night was always the BEST as we would pull our mattresses into our parents' room to have a MASSIVE slumber party and sometimes we would have a mini performance where the four girls would play as 'Olive' (Popeye's girlfriend from 'Popeye the Sailor Man') where we were getting bullied by 'Bluto' (played by my dad) and was rescued by our hero, Popeye (played by our brother), it was our way of having a bedtime story!

Having four siblings was indeed like having four best friends who are 24-7 with you, so i must say i am a very lucky girl to have them in my life x and yes, i am incredibly homesick as i am writing this post.

Hijacked- Hayley Welsh and Andy Faraday

HIJACKED

Verb. having taken control or to take possession thereof 

#hijackyourlife

FINALLY! Exams are over and the first thing that came into my mind from the moment i walked out of that examination room was: 'NEED TO THREAD MY EYEBROWS, NOW!'. And for those who are in Perth, i must say that the service of 'Zubias Threading'  is definitely better in Carousel compared to Garden City, as the staff members really take their time to understand your brows rather than just making it 'clean'. I am so glad and content to have a new pair of threaded brows as i am typing this post regarding Hayley Welsh and Andy Faraday's unique collaboration called: 'Hijacked'. 

 Inside 'The Koolroom', an urban underground venue dedicated to artists to showcase their pieces, was filled with whimsical paintwork of both artists with a combination of mediums including installation, projections, photography, street art and live paint! Here are some photos that i have taken via my iphone:
