Ventidue: Kanzi Fashion Cafe

This marks my 400th post on this blog. Fact #1: this blog is actually a lot older than 6 years, even though the first entry in its archives are from 2008. I think I started blogging around the start of high school (when blogging was the trendy thing to do, with everyone owning a xanga page... kids these days probably never heard of xanga before) and that would have been more than a decade ago. Blog went through various revamps, entries got lost... till the only thing left from the past is actually... the tagboard (fact #2). Which hardly gets used these days, but it has withstood the test of time thus far.

Today, we head down to the city. Ever since tt and I stopped seeing each other, I hardly go to the city anymore. Scratch that- I don't go to the city anymore, but this was one of the last cafes we discovered and went to together, and it has become a favourite.

Ventuno: Salvage Specialty Coffee

No excuse not to blog today apparently, because I have the day off and just wanted a completely lazy day. It has indeed been such an uneventful day I feel almost guilty for having it, so let's make up for the lack of productivity by blogging.

It's been so long since I did a cafe series entry that I've forgotten why I didn't number the past two entries, but since the last numbered one was 20, guess this is entry number 21. Recommended by friend and colleague KT, claiming it has the "best coffee" (hear that a lot, but really, there is no such thing as "best coffee", I just find that Single Origin or Campos are usually the safer options when it comes to coffee), we headed down to Artamon on a beautiful Saturday morning.

The place itself is quite small and cosy, not too overdone in terms of interior deco, but enough to make it inviting. Never actually knew Artarmon was like a Japanese hub, with Japanese convenient stores (konbini!), restaurants and bookstores scattered around the suburb.

Pasta Project

Just when you thought things were going to be regular, she stops posting for a couple of weeks. Things have been crazy irl, and not in a good way.

My first real car accident involving another car, and it's strange how the first thing that crossed my mind as I was sitting there was "naw =( you can't be serious, I am 500m away from my destination!!" when really it should have been "what on earth just happened...". The next thought was, "great, I have glass all over me, but wait, they don't cut! O_o This is amazing!" before the logical side of me kicked in and it was all "ahh.. what do I do now...". I'm just glad to have friends who knows exactly what I need to get out of a rut, so B and H- thank you so so much for being there for me, for taking my mind off things with dinner (fried chicken and beer, can't get any better than that for comfort food) and for the reassurance.
