Twen-tee Three!

Hello readers! Back to blogging again. I know it has been a while since the last post but I have been quite busy adapting myself to the working life ever since I started my job.

It is definitely a different life and a huge change for me compared to before. I'm never a morning person but because of work, I am forced to sleep early and wake up early. Nowadays, bed time has changed from 3a.m. to 11.30p.m. Drastic change that had to be implemented immediately.  

Lucky thing, I had my birthday to look forward to! Not looking forward to getting older, but looking forward to celebrate with  my close friends. 

This year I decided to do my birthday a little different compared to what I used to do. First of all, dinner with  my girls at Opus, Bangsar. Unfortunately, Hwa couldn't make it for the celebration. It was our first time at this Italian restaurant after hearing a lot of good reviews of this place. 



We had some sort of seafood platter as our appetiser. Clams, scallops, calamari, and prawns, all cooked with different delicious sauces. We also ordered their famous Aglio Olio with smoked duck meat, wild mushroom and asparagus risotto, and their seafood spaghetti. Their portions are pretty small so it would be good if you order a few dishes to share. Then, you can have a variety of food!


The girls ordered their famous chocolate soufflĂ© with vanilla ice cream plus a 'M' candle just for me! Love them to bits! <3

2nd Round of celebration was at Neway Karaoke. Just a small get together with some of my friends to eat, drink, and sing! Had 3 cakes again this year - LV custom made cake, cupcakes from the sai mui, Ash, and Neway's celebratory cake.  

The LV cake was too nice to be eaten and that we took a long time before we actually cut and ate it.\


















Last but not least, SHM! Attending my first rave on my birthday. I've always heard that raves are good especially Stereosonic but I've never been to one. Apparently, this time would be SHM's last tour and most of my friends were going to be there. So, I decided to check it out myself and join the rest.

Unfortunately, it was raining and drizzling most of the time. We were soaking wet waiting under the rain for SHM to come on.    My curled hair turned into straight hair after getting wet from the rain. It didn't go as how I expected it to be and according to most of my party rock friends, it was quite disappointing and sucky considering how soft the speakers were and the earlier DJs weren't that good. They would suddenly stop spinning for a while and there were like moments of silence. Weird. All in all, it was the company that matters most. I still had a good time.










 Felt so blessed to be turning 23 with you guys. Thanks to all of you for being here to celebrate my special day with me. My wish of having a meaningful birthday with meaningful people came true.



Yours truly,
Mabs Chan

Indulgence #1

Pre-graduation


AT LAST!
I've gotten all my pre-graduation photos from my friend, Prin the awesome photographer. He is a professional wedding photographer and is available for business in Melbourne. He was so nice to take my pictures for this special occasion. Really really admire his photography skills! 

We went to RMIT University city campus and Carlton Gardens for their background.
Please excuse the slippers in some of the shots as we are suppose to crop it out but I got too lazy. Regretted for not wearing covered flats instead of slippers. Was thinking more of comfort because wearing heels all the time will kill my feet at the end of the day. 

Wore a cute baby blue peplum dress from Supre for this photoshoot. 
It wasn't easy balancing the hat and the gown. The gown was heavy and the hat kept slanting off. Super hard to get it into place and every time the wind blows, there it goes. It'll take me another 5 minutes just to adjust everything back into place. And as you know, Melbourne's wind is CRAZY! If you are a stick, you'll fly off. No, seriously you will.

This is the unexpected wall at RMIT city campus. The old buildings  by La Trobe St. 


This is the field next to the Old Melbourne Gaol. I realised something when I was about to throw my hat.There was a warning not to throw the hat as it will cause injury. LOL.  But I still did it anyway. -.-"














 My favourite place!!! A lot of couples come here to take their wedding pictures. Unfortunately, I'm not getting married yet. Only graduating. :) But still couldn't resist it.









 Then, off we were to the Carlton Gardens to take some pictures with mother nature. Absolutely love the tree covered with purple leaves and flowers!





Yes, I am afraid of grass. >.<  But I had to overcome my fear for that moment just to take some shots. I am still afraid of grass. Somehow their grass is nicer than Malaysia's. lol.




 It was a fun-filled day and am very happy with all the photos. All these photos are still raw and not edited. Special thanks to Prin for taking the time to do this for me. Really appreciate it!




Yours truly,
Mabs Chan
