Happy 1st birthday to a super cute little man.

these was taken a year ago! what better way to show the world how super cute you were when you entered the world?!

dear Kirsty and Nick. i'm sooooo sorry it's taken so long! omg!

love your little family xoxo

and this was YOU when you were still in your mommy's tummy.

Change The World day

is on 19th November 2010. be apart of it. do something.
am supporting the local cafe by simply purchasing a hot chocolate (or a coffee if you're prefer cos i don't drink coffee) and all the their hot beverage sales goes to an orphanage in Bali.
bless their beautiful hearts and souls....

if you're in the Gold Coast, go down to Alfred st, Mermaid Beach and there's this super cute funky cafe Vintage Espresso on the day and maybe purchase 2 or 3 or 4 coffees.... and don't blame me if you're started to act like a chihuahua for too much caffeine hehehehe.... it's all for the cause! xo

what's in the wood?

i hear that one pretty little butterfly was fluttering around and playing with the hopping little bunny.
she asked: "bunny, when do you get to play with me?"
bunny says: "i am playing with you right now! we just have all these people taking whole bunch of photos of us playing. just keep quiet and enjoy the sun in the 9 degrees weather!"

thus the end of the story.

and the rest of it.... all you hear is click click click click click click click of the camera... yes yes... a wonderful sound!

Byron Bay trip.

Here are some of family snap shots once again before i archive everything into my beloved external hard drive... such a heart of a champion.
When the in laws are over here, the family (excluding the pregnant me and Tavé) went kayaking with the dolphins (jealous much? yes... yes i was) so i took miss D for a drive with us and ended up to be a pretty good Monday day for photos!!! yesssshhhh.... *mentally trying to compensate what i lost* haha.

ps. meanwhile, please pray for my family back in Indonesia... mom and dad are located where the mountain was erupted and last night was even worse! airport is closed and the city looked like a ghost town.

things i did in canberra

hello hello! many of you wondered what i did in Canberra and how come there's no photos posted on my blog about it. keep your pants on... here are some of the cute picsies i did... i got to shot this super cute little family (well, not so little when you have 3 gorgeous kiddies)!

yes, i went to the JinkyArt Workshop and totally went head over heels with the whole 3 days i was there. I fell in love with Barb and Erin from JinkyArt, also to the 11 other lovely photographer friends from across the globe! 9 of them are from all over Australia, 1 from the Philippines and 1... believe it or not, lives 3 minutes away from me! hahaha, yes Jamie, i'm talking about you!
Easily one of the best weekend I had in my life (beside marrying Jeremy weekend and the weekend I gave birth to Tave of course.) so thank you everyone for making it so memorable and lovely! xo

great friends.

Had such a great night at Bread + Butter last night (yet once again) and for the first time ever we tried chocolate pizza with banana and strawberries. hmmmm... yummy... and interesting...

Good laughs.. good laughs... girls with their cameras, boys with their "detox" talk. lovely.

blissful weekend.

My wonderful hubby took me up to mt. Tamborine for a night last month for an oh la la romantic getaway. that's right! no Tave for the weekend! (thank you oma and opa for looking after her)

We went to all the cute shops there, and took a wee visit to the beer brewery there (i never knew there was one) and it's got a pretty restaurant in the front and yummy cheese shop too inside.

something inside of me must've sparked cos i have never enjoyed taking random photos so much before. well, enjoy mt. Tamborine from my eyes...
it was indeed... a blissful weekend.

last day of autumn.

we have no leaves on the ground but my little bunny wants to clean the front porch.... in style!

bye bye autumn and hello winter!!!! i love the cold season!!!! it's the time to snuggle and lots of bonfires and smores... hmmmm....

Happy second Birthday, Vintage!!!

belated one of course...

thanks for your amazing hospitality and food + yummy cakes and free hot chocolate on your birthday! you're oh so generous!

i so love you Andrew and Jodie! you guys have done sooo well and am sure there will be many more amazing memories made at this little humble cafe xo
