G’mornin

HAHAHA I just discovered that whenever I touch sleeping Tat’s forehead/neck/ears/wherever with the cold tips of my fingers he’ll whimper and shake his head in his sleep HAHAHA! Like an auto-reaction! Fun fun fun.

It’s only 9am and I don’t know why I’m up so early :( I’m usually up earliest by twelve arvo everyday… Ok since I have so much time I shall make an effort to look pretty! Hello make up goodbye fourteen year old girl! Mascara… and more mascara since fake lashes/eyeliner/eye shadow are a bit OTT for me, and I don’t have any at the mo anyway. Wait till I get back mmkay Suet you can doll me up then :D

Ok byebye breakfast is calling… Woolworths’ ready made garlic bread is love during cold mornings yum.

Binge day; 26th June

One word: BURPPPPPP. In the span of six hours, we had:-

• Steak burger, roasted duck and soy-sauce chicken at Pacific Cafe with Li Zie
• Ox-tongue rice/Gyu Tan Don at Melbourne Central with Ally
• Spanish doughnuts at San Churro
• Fettuccine carbonara courtesy of Chef Dennis
• Durian and lychee gelato at Freddo’s with the boys

Again, please!!!

Mucking around in Safeway. I really liked the file ’cause it’s damn spacious and it’s only $1.69! Back home files like these are Rm7+ ok. I have an affinity with stationery can you tell

Gyu Tan Don I swear this shit is damn addictive

Spanish doughnuts at San Churro

With Ally

Kisses for Ally!

Doing what girls do best with mirrors

Of wine, books and boredom

I just had dinner and I swear- my mother’s a closet alcoholic. We had ginger wine chicken for two, and she emptied like what, half the bottle of green wine into the pot?!

That being said, ginger wine chicken is the BEST in cold countries. There’s that amazingly warm and fuzzy feeling… burp.

I registered at the Glen Waverly library earlier this afternoon- and I’m allowed to check out THIRTY books per fortnight. I decided against being too greedy and just swiped 5 fictions and a cycling magazine… I think I’m pretty much set for the rest of the week!

I just realised there’s nothing much to do in an Australian suburb :(

Foodies

Forgot to post this up last night- mother brought back cupcakes from her baking class woots!

My fav of the lot- I first thought it was an UFO with random flowers HAHAHA but my mum corrected me indignantly- it’s a HAT

Proud mama :) “Nice ah?!”

Despite the burning weather…

The cure to everything- Cadbury hot choc with marshmellows toppings + a good book

Happy camper

The whole bag of marshmellows was gone by the time the book was done. Burp

Anything la

My rockstar son popped by Singapore two days ago- before he left he asked me what did I want from there, to which I promptly answered, “Anything”.

Award winning rockstar

So the cheeky fella got me ANYTHING.

Jm: So what did you get me?
Alda: I got you Anything!
Jm: Huh???

ANYTHING carbonated drink

Anything has a friend, Whatever. Basically Anything and Whatever are the names of two soft drinks, both which have generic packaging so besides from reading the ingredients list at the side of the can, there’s no way a consumer can determine which flavour drink it is. Anything comes in six flavours- Cola, Cola with Lemon, Apple, Fizz Up, Cloudy Lemon and Root Beer. Read more here or here.

So the next time you’re dining in Singapore, when the waiter asks you for your drink order, say ‘Anything’ or ‘Whatever’. :)
