Dear Chibi,

Yesterday it was an absolute delight witnessing James & Stephanie tie the knot :) They held a beautiful intimate wedding at The Atrium at The Grounds of Alexandria. Hubby met James a few years ago at work, and quickly became one of his best mates and friend for life. Hubby often brings up all the silly mischief him and the ‘Boisenberg’ get up to, and I just know how much of an honor it was for him to be his groomsmen.

Since Hubby was part of the Bridal Party, he had to leave earlier for location shoots. I got to the venue myself via public transport though I did get a bit lost at the station. The Google Maps navigator kept spinning around and I didn’t know which way I was facing (lol, fail XD) I eventually found my way thanks to the Pokemon Gym conveniently located at the venue, ahAhaha ;D

Dear Chibi,

Today Hubby and I went to see the beautiful cherry blossoms blooming at the Auburn Botanical Gardens :D The Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival is an annual event but for some reason I always miss it! This time I marked it on my calendar so we wouldn’t forget :)

Credit goes to Hubby for all these amazing photos~

A week in Tasmania Part 1: Hobart
A week in Tassie Part 2: Coles Bay & Freycinet

Dear Chibi,

It was time for our final stretch to Launceston (and final blog entry for this trip)!

The drive was another 2 hours. We made a brief stop at Campbell Town which was in the middle of Launceston & Freycinet (And because Hubby was so obsessed with the name Campbell Town ;D)

Dear Chibi,

For our one year wedding anniversary, Hubby and I flew down to Tasmania where we spent 7 days exploring this beautiful little island, making our way up from Hobart to Launceston!

Maccas for breakfast @Sydney Airport. I would like 3 sugars with that please!

The flight was quick and painless, in a mere 1.5 hour we had arrived in Hobart (I beat the first level of Super Hexagon, woo~ go me!) We picked up our rental car and got a free upgrade for it ~ yay, lucky us :D

Unfortunately it was raining on the first day so we didn’t do too much. We explored the CBD and checked-in to our hotel at Bay View Villas, where we stayed for 2 nights.

Lunch @Sakura Sushi (but I decided to go for good old Chinese Soy Chicken Noodles XP)

We found the prices of food here to be generally quite expensive. On average a simple meal would cost you $25 a person excluding a drink. But hey, Tassie is kind of a touristy place and we are in Australia so we just came to accept it as the norm 8D

At around 8pm, the sun was still shining outside. Hubby and I started to look for a place for dinner and were quite surprised a lot of the restaurants were already closing! Dai pinchie XD!

Dear Chibi,

After close to no sleep on Saturday night, I’ve finally recovered enough energy to put this blog entry together :D 2 months of planning has come to an end, with Kerry’s Hens Party taking place on the 21st November (3 weeks to her big day!!) We had an amazing turn out with everyone dressed in their gorgeous 1920s Great Gatsby outfits :D Prepare yourself for pic spam!!

~***~

Early in the morning, I got Kaz all dolled-up with her hair and make-up done at Shinka Hair Salon. I think she deserves some stress-free pampering to start the big day! :3
