Time flies! November 2007 marks my first year and a half in
Melbourne! 
Things have changed tremendously since! I've snapped out of the
blues and I've started to creep out of my shell and explore
Melbourne and the suburbs. The dangerous thing is, I've discovered
shopping hot spots here!
*Red lights
flash!! Alarms beep!!! 
I've also done a lot on the home front. For the first time since I
moved out of my family home when I was aged 21 years, I feel like
my rented apartment is truly HOME to me.
I've done lots to make it cozy and nice (pardon the
perpetual mess and clutter though!
) and I still have lofty plans to make it even
better! The only thing that's stopping me is the moolah, or lack of
thereof! 
OK, thought I'd just share a few special photos with you peeps to
commemorate this milestone!

This is the very first 'crafty' project I embarked on. And I did it
today! 
Bought a lovely box with a glass top, decided to fill up the spaces
with the flowers who took pride of place in my house during my
first year in Melbourne, afterwhich I decided to dry them, and
subsequently, didn't know WTH to do with them... until now!
Pretty or not? 

This represents my first year in Melbourne - in Flowers!

And here it is - my very first bookshelf here!


Aaaaaand, remember how my entertainment area looked when I first
moved in and set it up? Well, here is how it looks like a year and
a half on! 

Oops! I just noticed that you can see all my chai from my marketing
done this morning!
It's
going to be Mee Siam tonight, folks!
