Dear Chibi,

For the first time, Jacky and I decided to have a joint birthday celebration with the uni guys~ karaoke for funsies & Suminoya for dindins :) Originally I wasn’t planning to do anything for my birthday, but since ours are only 10 days apart, Jacky suggested to combine mine with his.

Here’s some snaps from the night ^^

Karaoke @ Big Echo:

Dear Chibi,

This year for Jacky’s birthday, I decided to bake him a Tiramisu cake. I chose this particular cake because he introduced it to me many years ago, and has a special meaning :) And of course, knowing how long it took me to make my red velvet cake, I knew I would need to devote an entire day to it. So on Friday, I took the day off work to get the whole kitchen to myself! I had spent quite a while researching how to make the cake days leading up to Friday, and over 2 hours shopping for the ingredients. There’s a lot of ingredients! ^^”

Dear Chibi,

Look what arrived in the mail today :D

I feel like I just received an early birthday present, yaaay! (Hint hint, nudge nudge, it’s soon ;D) The friendly folks at Madman Entertainment got in touch with me and sent me these awesome Anime/Manga goodies. Let’s check out what we have!

Dear Chibi,

Jacky and I spent Anazc day at the Australian Botanic Gardens at Mount Annan, located near Campbelltown. The weather was lovely, and the garden didn’t have a lot of people so it was really relaxing. It was a perfect photo opportunity so we explored the area in search of pretty locations. Some areas were home to vicious mossies..  my only regret is that we got bitten XD

We also found this really pretty field of tall grass! It’s amazing how something so simple can feel so… magical. The colours were so rich and golden! I also liked how there weren’t any bugs or insects here at all, so I felt at ease just jumping inside :)

I always get excited when we go on these photo shoot sessions because it means we get to explore new places, Jacky gets to practice his photography, and I get to see pretty pictures, heheeh. Score! :)

Dear Chibi,

Seven years ago, Kaz and I had our first cosplay experience at Sydney Animania, dressing up as Tifa Lockhart and Rinoa Heartilly from the Final Fantasy series. Back then, the only non-convention photos we took were amateur shots of each other in our backyard. While it’s kinda cute and not too bad (yay for baby fat), we felt like the photos could look a lot better. Ever since Jacky purchased his DSLR, we discussed the possibility of dressing up once again and it got us all excited :D

Over the last few months, we did all sorts of preparation and research, with Jacky fine tuning his photography skills and us making enhancements to the costume.

After several delays due to the wet weather, we finally found a nice sunny Sunday! We spent about 2 hours getting ready with the hair and make-up. We started the shoot at 3pm and had 2 hours since the Gardens closed at 5pm. There really wasn’t a whole lot of time, but we fit in as much as we could. Jia also came along to help out with the shoot (or more like..to observe his model girlfriend ;D)

I really like how some of the shots came out. This one is my personal favourite:

Aren’t the feathers pretty?? *_* Jia, Kaz and I threw them into the air ^^”

Without further delay, here are the touched up photos:

I spent several late nights revamping the cosplay site. Please have a visit and let me know what you think :D

Special thanks to Jacky for making this all happen <3 The entire experience though fun, was very exhausting XD

Dear Chibi,

Dear Chibi,

Last night my Starcraft 2 clan finally hit masters league in 4v4! This is the first time we’ve achieved this as a group so we’re pretty happy about it :D Now that we’ve reached the highest league on SEA, we’ve migrated to the Korean/Taiwanese server for more challenges. Surprisingly, there’s a lot less lag playing over there than on AUS/NZ  @_@. Not that I’m complaining XD

We had 27 wins and 9 losses for the HoTS season

Dear Chibi,

On Sunday, Jacky and I drove up north to spend the day at The Entrance :) I’ve been here once when I was really little so I don’t really remember much except there were pelicans. It turns out there really wasn’t a whole lot to see except pelicans! haha XD The weather was a lot more cloudy and it was sprinkling while we were driving there. Thankfully it stopped once we arrived and it turns out the overcast was actually pretty decent for photos ;D

Look look! Baby pelicans!! ;D (No, they’re just seagulls..)

Dear Chibi,

On Saturday of the long weekend, Jacky and I went on a day trip down to the South Coast to explore Carrington Falls and to play at the beach. The weather was perfect :)

Start of the trail to Carrington Falls. It’s a pretty easy and short walk~ Don’t have to worry about not finding toilets, like the Blue Mountains trip one time …  ;D

Our final destination
