If you are in Perth, you should be aware that it's currently the Perth International Arts Festival (13th Feb to 7 March)!

For the past 3 days, Perth has greatly welcomed 2 giants (Little Girl and Giant Diver) to our city.

Want to know more about the original story - click HERE.

Since I was working on Friday and Saturday, I missed out capturing the glimpse of how the story evolved, but thanks to social media and friends, I got my updates haha XD
Today was when the giants are leaving Perth, and I'm so thankful I did not have anything on, hence I made a quick trip to the city and went with Nicole to say goodbye to the giants :')
The whole experience was truly mesmerising and amazing. Words cannot describe how surreal it felt. I heard there are haters saying that they are just puppets/not real, so what's the point of going?? Really though, in my opinion, the fact of seeing a giant (whether it'd be real or not) is literally like a one-time-experience-in-your-life, it's not like we can see giants all day everyday, and moreover, seeing in real life is SO DIFFERENT to when you watch it on television, like movies. I have always been intrigued with giants and all ever since I read stories about them when I was young and also an outstanding 2010 film called "Gulliver's Travels" ft Jack Black. If you haven't watch it, I strongly recommend you to!
Before I bore you any further with all my words, enjoy the pictures I took below :)
PS. I took about 50 photos, minimized them down to 20 just for facebook upload, but I really do think uploading 20 pictures here on this post would be too much, hence I only choose the most outstanding ones! :)

He's approaching!

She's coming!

Byeeeeeee :(

Can't believe in about a month time, exams will be here... holy shmoly... I ain't ready yet!

Oh ya, if you have been following my instagram, I have created another blog dedicated to reviewing products and food (eventhough it still is quite empty at the moment), here's the LINK if you don't know! Hopefully I can do more reviews for you all to read, despite my study load!

Today marks the first of July alreadyyy.... say who? :'D

Leaving tomorrow for a special destination/holiday, keep up to date with me on my instagram if your keen to know :)

I won't be blogging for the next 2 weeks or so, neither would I be answering back any questions nor replying to my inbox XP... though, if you wanna, you can always check out what I'll be rocking up with on my instagram ;)

But one thing I'm definitely sure, is that I'll be spamming y'all with loads of good getaway summary posts when I come back :D... well, isn't that exciting? ;)

"If you cannot convince them, confuse them."

Just casually, inputting something here, this is the 100th post of 2014 :) WHOOOP!

Rock climbing definitely counts as gyming... so had my workout today haha XD My arms/hands/fingers are so soreee... it's crazaaaaaaaaaay! :'O but totally worth it haha! oh gewd... I can imagine me waking up tomorrow having sore muscles wakawaka... :P

It's totally harder than it looks!

HOHOHOHOHOHO!

.... MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL! :D

And THANKYOU for your wonderful emails, gifts, tumblr wishes and christmas ecards! Love y'all!♥ Hope you all get to enjoy your Christmas to the fullest and celebrate with your dearest and loved ones just like me ^^

WOW. It's CHRISTMAS EVE. ALREADY. :P

DAYUUUUM.

Quote of le day! :D

"Never chase love, affection, or attention. If it isn't given freely by another person, it isn't worth having."

Alohaaaa! :)

Had another mini roadtrip todayaaaa! :)..... but then most of you would have know that... cos I updated my photo status on instagram earlier on LOL :P

So ya, started the day off with yumchaaa at Northbridge Chinese Restaurant :) not as much people as usual... I think it's because of the christmas season... everyone's off to shop-shop-shop!

Afterwards, we headed off to Carmel... :D to go to "Melville Rose Farm & Tea House"/"Rose Heritage Cafe".... yep as the title's obviously stated, it's rose farm♥ Spent majority of the afternoon there, it's just wow. Must go there.... if youse haven't! :D

Below's the pictures! :) *can't really organised the pictures very well... cos well you know it's google blogger... eurghh x.x* Oh and also I took about like 70 pictures in total there... but I'm not gonna post all of them here... cos that's just woah too much :P betchaaa y'all be all sick of roses and flowers if I would had. Enjoy!~

why can't I ever stand straight?! x.x

I AM SO CHUBBY X.X

LOL. This picture's storyline is like -

Me: Oooh let's take a selfie....
Random fly on my wrist: Ooh let's join in this picture x.x haha

After we explored the whole farm, we went back to city and drive around suburbs and stuffs.... then we drove by my ex piano teacher's home, we were like oh we would love to go and say hi to her but we lost her contact and it would be rude to come by before contacting her.... it's like a manner kinda thing according to the parents/society :3 But I was like hell no, I haven't seen her in like 4 years, I'm gonna go straight down, knock on her door and say hi cos I missed her so much♥ Then my 'rents were like ok, you go down by yourself then.. obviously thinking I won't go down... but I actually did! And ya, it turned out amazing! It was so good to see her again and I just literally dragged my parents and my brother outta the car cos she wants to see them also cos she missed them too! She is like legitly the best piano teacher I ever had!♥ It was her that go me so into piano and music and just pretty much everything haha! The reason I started piano was because, you know it's an asian thing to know an instrument. And my first teacher wasn't that great like she went with the proper rule of piano teaching lalala but it was boring, I wasn't attracted to it at the start. Then, this teacher came along. And hell no, she didn't do the rules. That is why I love music juxtaposition... which also explained why one of my favourite subjects back in school was music....! :D haha enough of me rambling on~

To wrap it up, I really feel blessed because I have amazing people surround me all the time, not just in the past but also in the present aka now :) and I'm sure in the future, it will be too♥♥

Then for dinner, we went to Fasta Pasta for pastas *duh* haha :P But they weren't that great... :(

And that's it!

Thanks for reading till here from the top! :D

Cya next time lovelies!

Love,
Velene xoxo

WOW. Today has been somewhat a busy but amazing day! :D I hope you all are well too?

Went to do so much errands and most importantly, accomplished them all too!

Feeling like a lazybum... so I shall dot everything!

So today's schedule was pretty much:

- errands-errands-errands
- lunch at Ikeaaaaa :)
- erands-erands
- went back home to drop some stuffs off
- errands-errands
- finally done!
- mum then was like, "I'm freaking exhausted, ceebs cooking, let's eat dinner outside!" Waited for daddy to finish his work... then off we went!
- and guess where we went?....... FREO aka Fremantle XDD Haven't been there in yonks! So we were really excited to go there to have FISH AND CHUPS ;)
- Obviously, we went to our favourite restaurant of all time - Cicerello's! And we ordered heaps... it was like a feast!
We ordered 2 plates of Traditional Fish and Chips, 2 plates of Crumbed garfish and chips and 2 plates of Deluxe seafood chowder...... we legitly coudn't even finish them.... it was insane... we're so fulll.... and it wasn't even halfway of the plate yet XP so we were like you know what, just eat all the fish and finish the soups then we're all good, just leave those chips behind cos they're carbs and VERY fulling! But bro was like, "nah I'm a man", "I could finish it all" and "I like my chips" blahblahblah... in the end, he actually did! Bravo on him haha! XD
- At the start we were like oh and also get dessert afterwards, that's what we said. But after the "feast", we were like eurghhh can't fit anymore in our stomach, so we got gelato instead and have it while we walk around the scenic nature :DD And the wind was really strong too, thus wasn't able to take a snapshot of our awesome icecreams lmaooo :P
- Pretty much spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the beach and boat harbour and took some pictures! Check them out below! :) *in no particular order too XD*

 da so-called deluxe seafood chowder... was so goooood!

 

Hope you enjoy those pictures! :D

So happy today! Got my new phone - le S3!

Woohoooooooo! :D

♥ (^з^)-☆

Afterwards, went to the library! Feeling as chill as ever when I borrow books, reminiscing my teen years where I used to LOVE reading, still does, but because with all the uni assignments/tests this year, they are the ones to blame for in keeping away from my precious novels lol :P Gonna be a happy reading holiday woohooooo! :D

So, as I said this morning, this week is a break from uni! :D

I spent this afternoon mainly at home (so inactive, you must be thinking right? XD).

So here's a run-down of what I did today:

- youtube! Watching various videos including beauty, fashion & entertainment (songs/covers/jux music in general!(

- eat! (I needa my fooood!)

- jog! (the only physical activity I did today - 20 minutes jogging in the park that is near my home, thank goodness haha or else, I would have been too lazy to go lol!)

- dramas... as usual! :D

- reviewing dramas in my 3rd blog! ^.^

- played piano! :) My hobby!

- READ a novel! Literally like read read. I loved reading since I was in primary school but I kinda stopped reading when I was in Yr11 or so because of heavy study load and stuffs like that. So ya, I was very happy that I finally picked up a novel and r-e-a-d!♥

That's pretty much it.... so far! XD since today is not over yet haha!

And...

Oh My God....

As I did le drama reviews in my 3rd blog, I thought of since I'm re-visiting dramas I have watched, what other dramas' review should I do... then I went rummaging what I watched in the past :P

And I realised, I watched quite a LOT teehehehe XD

Such a big fan of dramas!♥♥

Feeling like a super badass now! Why? Because I realised I watched 11 dramas last year, during the most important year of high schooling, um I felt average actually - not that bad (in my opinion XD)..... considering I did pretty well in my wace (my opinion again hehe) and I also got into what I really want to do in university :D

I supposed.... not too bad, not too bad right? XD
