Day 1 - wedding frenzy

Was in melb in for 4 days for my friend D’s wedding..

Took the red eye on Wednesday for melb and now I know why it’s called that.. quite literally..

Spent most of the day doing lots of wedding errands, final fittings, rehearsal at venue, and it was really nice to finally meet the groom for the first time. :)

there's just something about a girl in her wedding gown.. was all a bit surreal.. that D is getting married.. the girl that skipped a whole day of lectures with me only to sit on the foreshore to talk about anything under the sun.. the girl that would swap her tomatoes in her sandwich (her pet peeve) for my carrots (my pet peeve).. the girl that naps in the library between classes.. the girl that we had a karaoke session over coffee at the guild cafe.. was this the girl that knew i was Taiwanese before she spoke to me coz she recognised my only-taiwanese-would-use-this-japanese eraser? ahhh me getting sentimental here..

when we got back to the hotel at 10pm, we walked pass as I later discovered as the Greek district and we came across the MOST AWESOME cafe!! My heart skipped a beat, it was love at first sight.. and there’s very few things/people that can do that in this world.

Obviously I couldn’t fit it all in my stomach and still expect to fit into my bridesmaid dress, I had to settle for limiting myself to 3 items and sharing them with K over a bottle of red (well.. K drank, I watched)..

after a good 15mins standing in front of the cabinets, we finally decided on these.. one mini yo-yo (or Kok.. some how K holds a special facisnation with this name and enjoys repeating it over and over)

and this MASSIVE chocolate rum ball and biscuit.. mmmm..

Though it wasn’t such a good idea to sleep at 2 am after a 1 hour sleep on the plane and a 1 hour nap on D’s couch, I was a bit high on the sweets induced adrenaline rush..

I did regret it a bit when I had to wake up at 8am the next day…
