Slacker~!!

I have been way too slack with my blog, but that's only because I've been busy with my life :P
Yeah, what a good excuse, right? hehehe.

Dad's been on my back a little about wedding planning, and how slow I'm going :P Well, most of the big stuff are ready anyway. It's about time to get our wedding invitations done though. Sigh... and the ultimate wedding bands hunting!

Well, May has been pretty much a busy busy time for me. From attending surgical courses, to family gatherings, to catching up with friends...

We went to Tao Tao House for Mother's Day Dinner. Tao Tao House is owned by Jon's high school friend and his dad - who used to work as the dumpling chef in Flower Drum.

They have been getting some pretty good reviews in The Age - so we decided to try it out the other day, also to give Jon the opportunity to say hello to Eric, and of course, to congratulate him on his success!

Food was super yummy, and the dumplings were to die for. Soft, silky skin... YUMS~! Nothing short of my expectation.

Uncle Peter was saying how lucky he is, to be able to tag along for these yummy meals. First Yarra Vallley for aunty's birthday, and now another meal for Mother's Day.

Of course we weren't just gonna leave you out! Silly...

The week after, Xian Lee graced us with his presence from Brisbane. Think he was on his week off or something, that he decided to drop by and explore Melbourne a little. But too bad though, he was here on a bad week. He was greeted by the highly unpredictable Melbourne weather, and all he got all week, was rain and wind :(

So, out goes the window his plans to go sight-seeing and stuff.

But that provided us with the opportunity to catch up over warm cups of coffee, and nice cozy dinners though. Hehehe.

He was also giving us an update on the special girl in his life at the moment :) NICE~! Good to see him happy.

I brought Xian Lee along to our BBGS catch up brunch as well. Went to our regular hang out, Snow Pony in Balwyn. Gotta love their breakfast menu there! Super yums!! Caught up with my favourite girls, both recently married :) Hehehe. Good to have someone who can give me tips, you know? :P

The three musketeers from the previous night, reunited again ;) This time, rise and shine, bright and early for brunch. (Those who know me, knows that I'm not a morning person!)

Was so good catching up with Kit, hearing her Europe escapade stories~! Oh how I would love to take time off to travel the world.... but still have my bank account topped up! Taking time off is such a scary thought, because no matter how much savings you have, seeing your bank account amount dwindle by the month, is really quite a nerve wrecking thing! I only lasted 3 months, before I felt like I needed to go back to work again.

Guess it's also because I'm subconsciously 'kiasu'. Seeing all my friends getting into specialty programs, and sitting for exams, made me feel a little left out. So yups, back to work I went... sigh. Looking back now, I wish I had taken a longer time off, just for myself... because you just don't know when you will have the courage to do it again!

Anyways, I digress.... haha.

You know winter's just around the corner when everyone's dressed in grey and black! In my defence though, I was wearing green. It was only my scarf that was grey and black. But hey, gotta love this photo of my girls - all colour-coordinated! :)

Till next post, take good care and stay warm peeps!

More photos to come from the Million Paws Walk. Whee~!!!
