New Toy

So the last toy I mentioned on my blog was probably the purple psp from Christmas perhaps two or three years ago. Currently, that purple psp is lying dead somewhere because it got broken by someone whom I shall not mention, and been replaced by an ugly black psp, which I didn't settle for and got another purple psp, but that one is being held hostage right now by someone, so now I am psp-less. Which is ok because I have a new toy to play with.

This one was given to me by my brother~ it is called Ninja. Like literally, it is called Ninja.

I haven't taken any good photos of this, nor used it very much. It was only opened today because we were waiting for the TRANSFORMER.

Unhealthy Things

Back a few months ago, I was into all things sweet and unhealthy. Still am, but on a lesser level. I was constantly churning out cookie cupcakes with anything and everything as a filling, as well as the much loved rice krispies.

Oh yea, a few months ago, we also gained 6 new family members. We thought they were all going to grow up into lovely hens and lay lots of eggs for us.

Little Snail Revisited

Before the next cafe series entry, I actually went to various other places worth mentioning, so let's start with Little Snail. Even though we've been there before a couple of times, this was one of the online voucher thing, where we managed to score a bit of discount for their dinner 3 course.

So my brother requested (and I owed him a dinner anyway) for it since he really liked the escargot.

Venti: 4 Fourteen

Special post as my cafe series hits 20! I never realised Venti meant "20", Starbucks use it as one of their sizes meaning "Large"... anyway, today's one is technically not a cafe, but we did have coffee after our meal, so I'll just make this an exception.

Most of the photos turned out blurry though, I don't know enough about cameras to take good photos in the dark. Stanley is supposed to be made to take good photos in the dark though, so... hm... might need a crash course with my brother some time.

Diciannove: Cafe Jolly

On to the next cafe! Just feeling a little guilty for indulging in half a container of Maggie Beer ice cream, but hey, I didn't have dinner so it's all good... right....

So tomorrow's going to be a scorcher, 43 degrees across Sydney, what am I going to do with myself?? Wait.. why did I just finish all the ice cream?!? =( Time to go get more. Recently I've been holing myself up in my room, blasting air con at myself while watching Korean drama show IRIS... 20 episodes long, and when I tried to watch it at double speed, I didn't understand what was going on, so I actually have to tolerate it in full time... taking forever to finish watching the whole thing.

Oh right, the cafe. 'Twas a jolly good cafe indeed, all the way at Leichhardt, right where S, our star cafe buddy lives. Maybe by the end of this entry, I'll be able to spell Leichhardt without google searching its correct spelling.

Diciotto: Chavela

Happy 2013! While I dislike reminiscing unhappy times, 2012 was undoubtedly a very challenging one. Ever since I could remember, my life was very straight forward- it was overcoming one academic hurdle after another... I was never lost because in my head, music therapy was always my career choice, and everything else was just working towards that.

 2012- first year out of uni as a fresh, new graduate. Wouldn't exactly say I was plunged into a world of unknown... I had a couple of jobs lined up, but there were times when I didn't know what to do with myself. Then my mentor passed away and I miss him till this day. I never understood the pain till I felt it myself.

Then my mum fell sick and still is sick. Rather than being challenged academically, which I was when it came to presenting in conferences, there were more real-life adult situations which presented itself last year. It's all about growing up....

Chavela, this cafe which I failed to blog about 3 months ago, doesn't exist anymore. It was a surprisingly good cafe, completely unintended for us to visit, but for some reason, I was with B around Burwood, looking at badminton stores I think, when we stumbled upon it.
