October 2012

So I haven't had a proper girl's night out with the lovely Jessica for a while, and we had a much needed catch up! I think we were both at a very complex and complicated stage of our lives and it's great to have that friend who knows exactly how you feel and you can say things like "RIGHT? Why doesn't anyone see it the way we do?" We ended up at Barossa for pizza and beer, even though i really wanted the Truffle Mac n Cheese at Overeasy but the place was way too crowded (2 hours for the next table???) but it was still a great place to chill because we sat there for forever and the staff never tried to chase us away!

So after hearing, seeing and reading much about the hype on Prive, I picked it as the place to use my special "birthday meal voucher" from Po, Os and Jess (and Josh)! It's definitely not the most convenient of places to be located, but the view was definitely worth it. We chose alfresco dining because it just rained, and it was nice to enjoy the afternoon next to the yachts and the harbor. So that was way long ago, and i only just got the film developed this week (at a horribly price of $10 a roll - JUST for developing!) Never ever go to Photo Hub to develop your film, guys. Funnily it occurred to me that I have a tendency to post process all my photos, even the film ones, which leads me to the question - why even use film then?

  I supposed the best way to start this blog off would be my 21st, or I'd like to call it my "fake 21st" because it was held on July 28th instead of my actual birthday, which is on the 22nd of August. I would say that 2012 hasn't been the easiest year to turn 21, but seeing the many different groups of people whom have been part of my life take the time to show up for my party was a blessing :) I spent over a month planning it amidst many many other commitments I've had such as my internship, helping to organize this year's graduation night and what not. I think I did a pretty good job for my party - the theme was "Monica's Twen-tea-first. Punny, no? :) All decorations were handmade by me (yes, even the giant sign wishing myself a happy birthday)! Though all this couldn't have been done with the help of some lovely angels dropping by earlier than expected to help out. Perhaps I should consider being a party planner for fun - any takers?
