my first kitchen tea party

as clueless as usual, i decided to fly in a week before samadhi's wedding to join her kitchen tea party/bachelorette party. what i didn't know what that at a tea party, you're to give the bride a good recipe that you've used before for her collection in her bid to be a good wife :) it was a great gathering of her friends as well as mom's friends all being very enthusiastic about everything making the day a joyous one.

The Amazing House:

with a fantastic view... when i first arrived, i was greeted by a pair of colourful parrots too! too bad they flew away before i could take the camera out

The knicknacks & food (all home made):

The Girls:

The Games Host+Helper:

one of the games included a fashion show of bridal gowns made out of toilet paper

the afternoon was great... copious amount of food and drinks. and everyone was just gathering around to celebrate the fact that Samadhi was getting married soon. the games were very well planned by Krissy and trust me, the amount of time, work and energy she put into the day, even i was amazed. the enthusiasm and friendliness of everyone just made the afternoon of games go by filled with lots of laughter and friendly competitive streaks

then came nightfall.... shortly after the soon-to-be-mother-in-law left, that's when the party started

lets just say the games got a lot more R-rated... :) then it was off for a night out in town

samadhi's outfit for the night was an old gown and veil she thrifted in PNG and got her grandma to take it in for her which turned out absolutely gorgeous. we first had more food at one of noosa's restaurants filled with rather old ladies in tight dresses then it was off to the only other night club in the area

after a full day of activities, this was our absolute last picture of the night

i would like a town too

Buford, Wyoming was up for sale in the US recently... how cool is it to own a TOWN?

melbourne

every year i try to make a trip down to melbourne to eat, drink, shop and make merry with all my friends there and every year without fail, i always fall in love with that city. last year i managed to stay for easter weekend, unfortunately due to scheduling, i'll miss it this year :( but even then, this year's 5 days there was amazing as always.

jo moved away from their main street and now is in fitzroy... i had my reservations but it turned out to be an amazing apt with tons of food n my newly found favourite jewellery store just down the road. fitzroy was a great move and jo's now so much happier - closer to work, great cafe everywhere etc etc

as with all my travels, i had my cravings all fixed.... including pho on russell street n a great burger - from a burger joint just opposite jo's place

a veery simple burger yet highly satisfying

as jo was working, he was really sweet to get up and have breakfast with me everyday... and as when in melb, good coffee was everywhere in fitzroy! and of course awesome breakfast including flaky croissants which for some reason, i've not found a baker in sg who's able to do so now :(

and of course the other highlight of this trip was that jo finally got his 3d printer working! it was absolutely amazing! after years of procrastination, he's gotten round to making it work and i got my birthday present from it :)

jo took a sickie on wed to go to the galleries with me and it was a great, easy day out. in many ways melb reminds me of parts of LA which was great... since jo now lives in fitzroy, i was forced to walk around that area. i know that it's not that far from town, but it was suppose to be a relaxing trip so i mainly stayed within 15mins walk of the apt during the day. brunswick street is so similar to West LA, i couldn't help but miss it

since it was leading up to easter, everything had bunnies around

my last nite was great as we took it really easy, met up with marn, wilson and claud had my last pho then off to crown to watch hunger games where i had my first choc top

then it was off back home to have very well made cosmos :)

missing melb and all my friends there... xp
