brisbane

Was lucky enough to be part of the Melbourne University team
who took part in the Health Fusion Health Care challenge 2 weeks ago up at the University of Queensland
the competition basically involved forming a interdisciplinary team
(we had neuropsych, social work, nursing, physio, med and of course, dent on board+ and invaluable team manager)
and presenting a management plan for a patient case.

really was a great learning experience, can honestly say i had never thought about a treatment plan out of a dental aspect before this. Kinda feels like filling in the blanks, you know?
And, to top it off, we had a fun time in Brisbane

Team iStorm, like the NRL Melbourne Storm. Get it, get it? Stands for interdisciplinary students taking on real management.

Meet and Greet

A summary of our case stem

Preparing to film our live interview with the 'patient'. Amazing actor btw, was taken aback by how realistic his performance was!

Presenting!

Griffith university won the competition, was really impressed with how well they answered the questions posed.

Went clubbing with the team after dinner at the nifty little club, it had 3 levels, live music, house music, and hip hop, and a TV screening the footy quarters. The name of this place has slipped my mind, but boy, that was fun!

The next day was time for some R and R, did a bit of shopping near the Brisbane Flyer at the Sunday Markets

Had breakfast and Denim and Co

And had cupcakes for our debrief. cupcakes!! from mysweetopia on Southbank Q. this was a turkish delight one, sponge wasnt great but the icing was yum. enough rosewater to be flavourful, but not overpowering.

then met up with godsis!

rest of team went back to Melbourne, but i extended my stay.

Jin drove down from sunny coast and we went to buy groceries so i could cook for her that night

not really very domestic, either of us, but we were craving some hot pot,

so rented a serviced apartment with a full kitchen.

stayed at the M on Mary, place was so big we had rooms to spare!

cute balcony with the floor to ceiling glass panels but shocking room service. had to wait over 2 hours, not impressed.

guess she s a little camera shy haha.

Hotpot was delish, though rather spicy. might have been a bit too heavy-handed with the chillies opps.

almost ashamed to blog this photo of the coffee table with our insane amount of snacks. Stayed up late watching horror movies and then shopped the next day away.

ahh this is life.

Jin, if you re reading this, i miss you!

my holiday was really too damn short. :(

dental ball

some photos from the recent Dental Ball!
was a fashion themed event,
and I took the opportunity to showcase a few things from my label, in conjunction with Sleep Couture, Precious Love and Karlina
great night, really hectic but everyone did an amazing job
might have gotten a parking ticket
(thanks Melbourne City Council)
but at the end of the day?
worth it!

venue was Maia in Docklands

rather pretty place wasnt it?

Josie and Kim for hair and make up did a fantastic job!

Esma, Corry and Steff



Emily is wearing the pink floral headpiece, which is one of my favourite pieces from the collection, took me ages to make as i wanted the blossoms to sit properly, but i love the end result!

another favourite, the yukata and onyx coral necklace

the neckpiece didnt quite stay on properly, but at least i know now what to do to fix it, a few more darts here and there and this should be ready to go! anyway Christian was good-looking ; he managed to pull it off!

<3 the models, they did a bang up job! was nervous as hell, since this is my first runway show for Limecraft, but was very happy indeed. :)

the photos brings back so many memories from the night!
Partying at Alumbra
throwing chocolates at Joe's car
and of course, struggling to put on stolen scrubs and having B videotape the whole damn thing, which went viral to Lee and Clare in 20 seconds flat.
ahhh, besties, what would you do without them.

really craving corncakes from Izakaya Den all of a sudden.
had the most lovely macaroons from zumbo this afternoon
which Kev and Jia brought back from Sydney
and now i am in the most peckish mood. might try my hand at making lavender custard

nom!
