to my dearest in life

happy birthday, my one & only habibi ♥

And Today I'm 22

Yay !!!

I've just passed another May 16 of my life !!!
This time sort of a really different one, though !!!
Cuz am so far away from my hometown !!!
Am celebrating my 1st ever bday outta
my country - at Perth !!!

With balloons, sunflowers, a really cute
hand-drawn fish by my flatmate ~ Shu Duan !!!
Manage to spot all 3 of us in the balloon ???

And also yummy pastries from Corica !!!

Thanks to my wonderful girls !!!
Some other were missing tho ^.^

Getting my first ever 'real' sunflowers a spot @ Room 2 !!!

And not forgetting a picture with hubby on my bday !!!
See, who says we can't have photos together when we're apart?

Sunflowers are love
They sit comfortably at a corner of my windows.
It just feels so great to wake up to sunflowers !!!

The girl & her sunflowers

Cindy's calling me from downstairs !!!
We were talking on the phone, and yet we
were screaming like hell !!! Hahaha 。。。
Thanks for the banana cake, girl !!!

Felt so touched with the lovely surprises, girl !!!
It just adds that much-needed warmth to a heart far-away
from home. Love you all so much !!! Tho I was a lil' sorry keeping
you girls waiting so late for me to sign off from work that night.
And yea, I've been working throughout my birthday this year.
But I enjoyed it very much !!! It's so much better to spend
bday with the amazing colleagues at work than
spending it alone, I think.

(printscreened by hubby, he was too shy to show himself -.-)

And of course, wad's better than to start and
end my 22nd birthday with hubby ???

(taken @ my room)

Thanks again, girls !!!
Tho I've said it like so many times that day !!!

Welcoming the new members to Room 2:

I tied the balloon beside my bed ^.^

I hang Miss Fishy Jr. on a side of my lappie ^.^

Saw the floating balloon ???
My proudest new member to the family !!!
I love playing with it so much, it's just
floating about in my room !!!

Postcards on the wall !!!

Photoshoot @ Perth City (1)

Yesterday was fun !!!
Fiona & Meng brought us to Northbridge for Dim Sum
after their Sunday service and we had A LOT for breakfast !!!

One thing I notice about Dim Sum here is that,
the range is very different from those I had in Miri.
I was extremely surprised they have chili mussels
as part of Dim Sum, in the morning too !!!


Finally get to meet Jessica for the first time after so long !!!
The last time I saw her was probably during her primary school
graduation !!! Like her writings & her shots, she is a very special girl,
kinda like the girl next door, if I could find any words better to describe
her. She wanted to do a shot that day with 'Broken Dolls in the City'
as her theme. When Fiona first told me about the shot, I wasn't sure if I can
pull it off well, cause 'cool/innocent/cute' was never my kinda thing. But,
I tot it was great to try something new, challenge myself, and somemore
it was really cool to do shots in the city, busy with cars and people.
I guess I'll never do that in Miri, cause I might bump into
someone I know & it would be pretty awkward ...

We went to Meng's house after that
for change and make-up.

Qing got the Twiggy look.
She pulled off broken doll look very well !!!

Fiona got the exotic Asian Kung-Fu girl look.
Her face was really sharp on pictures !!!
Love 'em very very much !!!

As for me, Jez opted for the 60's look.
I couldn't do much of a doll, but am so happy
I managed to find myself some angles or styles
that I can pull off better, like emo or sweet shots,
2 total extremes of each other tho, hehehe...

Jez did her own make-up.
Super pro lar really, this girl !!!
We stopped by a pretty vintage place in town,
when we were looking for a good spot for the shots.
And you noe, we omos find ourselves guilty for trespassing
private property and kena halau-ed by the security guard !!!
This is definitely something that 4 of us will remember for a
lifetime !!! But the whole photoshoot thing was really really
fun !!! Jessica has an eye for everything, her shots were
beautiful and they were unique for each 3 of us as she
managed to distinguish our personalities thru her
every shots !!! You should see more of her
shots on her deviantart here.

Here are some of the shots we took
yesterday !!! Am so in love with all of 'em !!!

Oh yay,
today is Jez's birthday too !!!
Happy birthday, girl !!! May all your wishes
come true and it's really fun knowing you !!!
Keep your lovely smile going on !!!

Re-ments

Please welcome my 1st ever Re-ment collectibles
Such lovely birthday pressie from the gurls !!!

Playing with it somehow awakes the girly side of me
& reminds me how pathetic it was to not have a childhood
with these Re-ment sets last time !!! Man, kids these days are
lucky !!! Climbing trees were the only funs I had last time.
Look at these cute miniature things, my trees look
too humungous to be even called 'toys' !!! Aiks !!!

I love muh gurls !!!
Muaks !!!

Sis's Turning 18

A lil’ treat for the Sis
& yea, everything except the snoopy is edible.
My sis, she loves every single one of them to bits !!!
But, she wouldn't let my post up any stupid photos of her.

Spotted this @ Hot Cross Bun (Centre Point Phase 2).
Honestly, all of them were nothing close to tasty.
I bought them cause of their lovely designs.
We couldn't even finish them !!!
