NGV w/ Selina

Selina was going back to Vietnam soon so we decided to hang out before she left
so naturally we went to an art gallery

had a quick sushi breakfast sitting under this hall area before going off to see the place
I remember this ceiling from high school trips to the gallery

and then off we went to explore the museum
look at this fancy gold carousel
art ok

this installation was amazing, it was titled Reflection Model
it was an intricately sculptured model of a traditional Japanese shrine that floated from the ceiling
it was so crazy detailed, can't even imagine how long it must've taken
years doodz

that was my favourite part, it was so still in person it was really calming tbh
then we went through the rest of the gallery which has stuff which has always been there

#håståg victorian selfies
I really liked this sculpture cos it reminded me of an egg and that obviously makes it 100% more photo worthy than all other art in the gallery

a rare photo of Selina
we never really take photos of each other whenever we hang out?? I guess we're not really the selfie taking type it's a little weird disrupting the vibe to be like "selfie!" when you're just chillin
although looking back it's like "?? ... did we exist "

Selina's favourite section is the huge rooms full of Victoria era and Romantic era paintings
honestly I don't really know the names haha
but it's pretty impressive in person

at the top of NGV

after we were done in the gallery we just roamed around the city randomly
grabbed a Krispy Kreme gotta get that

Odie!

Selina gave me a whole bunch of Parks and Rec to watch
I watched it over the summer break it was pretty great, defs one of my favourite shows

Brandon's 21st

at Coco Lounge in Glen Waverley
let's start off with this blurry pic that I didn't retake because I didn't want to be standing there taking a picture of a sign while people watched and also because bokeh?? photography? art? I don't know
off to a great start with my blog posts as always

it was like a posh chill affair, yea the dress code was like smart casual
look at all these guys in their smart casual

honestly I feel like it's very possible that in the future I will just rock up to one of these events in a tshirt and ripped jeans
on a scale of 1-10 how awks would that be rate and comment

as you can see Homan and I both took the smart casual thing literally with a smart shirt and a very casual tie
everybody grabbed some drinks from the bar and also signed the guest book
B's girlfriend Sam was so busy the whole night doing everything like taking these polaroids and other photos, I hope she got some good rest after haha, poor girl

some bubbly and also cocktails, which had a lot of fruit in them
I would prefer less fruit and more alcohol but hey that's just me
ya we sat and caught up for a lot of the night, it was pretty chill

this was the interior, very loungy
one of the more loungier places I have been to

as usual, all of us signing the card during the actual thing
I mean I was too and I was the one who made the card


this was the card I made for B
it's based on a game called Portal

Kat not buying what you're selling version 2
for version 1 go to Vi's 21st b'day post LOL

Brandon actually asked me to take photos of the event on the night and turns out he asked like 5 different people actually and didn't really need everybody to haha
I even went up to strangers to take their photos! I never talk to strangers
how dare you make me do this. OFFENSIVE. HATEFUL
lmao I kid

yea there were canapé's coming out all night, I totally stuffed my face
they were pretty tight

this doofus

later on we all went and watched videos that Sam had asked B's friends to put together
Judith has a pretty funny story about trying to put our Mount Group's vid together, she showed me all the bloopers and WOW it was a huge effort
I think you can watch it here on Judie's blog http://quaverbeats.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/brandons-birthday.html
