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 CURRENT OBSESSION 

it should be apparent by now that i blog to procrastinate. the reality of having three assignments due on monday along with my four tutorials from 10am-5pm still hasn't hit me yet but i cant wait to see what pressure can make me produce and also... become. 

On the flip side i am very excited to post pictures of my easter break and new cafes that i have discovered around perth, so stay tuned!

i got to admit that i do think of my stolen iphone whenever i see pretty little things around me as i am no longer able to snap such moments with just one magical 'click'. i am done cursing so i shall let it go and appreciate my old phone that switches off by itself when there is still '45%' battery left. 

i really adore brands that put extra effort in their marketing campaign and lookbook to make it unique and one of a kind, so here we are:

Johanna Basford: Secret Garden

'SOMETIMES THINGS DON'T COME FULL CIRCLE'

how it begin:

i loath reading and adore painting.

There is something about painting that makes me feel content and calm when the world seems too crazy to be handled by a troubled child like me. After 21 years of living,  I still get that blissful feeling and that special sort of tranquility when I unwrap my colouring materials, maybe that is what they call it  : PASSION. 

Juhanna Basford's colouring book caught my attention when I was in a gallery shop with my loved ones. After a peek into the 'Secret Garden', without hesitation, I went to the cashier with 20 dollars in my hand , eager to unleash the inky treasure hunt that Johanna has prepared for us, because oh boy it has been too long since I left the digital world!

I decided to paint this particular floral piece based on one of my favorite quotes , '... Sometimes things don't come full circle' from the track 'Arcadia' by The Kite String Tangle introduced by Kizzy. The song was on repeat throughout the months as I cannot help but fall in love with the quote again and again, as it reminds me that:

~

'Despite the fairytale endings we were brought up to expect from life, things are not always complete, not always whole. The dog doesn't always catch its tail, the single thread doesn't always complete a stitch. Things are not always perfect, and does not always follow its intended course, but that's okay. Sometimes things don't come full circle... It is a reminder that softens every blow of disappointment, every change of fate we encounter in life.' ~ Melanie Woon
