this is not a foodie blog

there's no feeling like the feeling of waking up early on a weekend, knowing you have one less assignment to worry about, and going out for brunch. Which is exactly what i did this weekend.

Saturday: Two Bob, Fitzroy North

what i dream about at night. drool

Sunday: Coin Laundry, Armadale

The dock in the header one year later.

in which i pass half boiled eggs for poached eggs

My attempt at bistro food. simple, clean flavours with a small burst of salt or tartness; colourful, nonchalantly placed all on a big off-white plate; with toast! (sourdough with flax seed and quinoa of course). that's what i think it's all about. I love it

Bright on a fairly good day

Drove to Bright over the weekend, one of the most picturesque towns in Victoria according to the brochures. Well they weren't lying.

The view from the top of Mount Buffalo.

The drop

Mount Buffalo is famous for it paragliding and hand gliding sites. If i had more guts i'd definitely give it a go.

you need a fashion shower

I think i love her even more now. i'm going to make this my waking up song.
Happy Friday everyone!

took this during last nights crazy fireworks display for Pai Tien Kong. everyone was trying to outdo each other which resulted in a 30 minute firework fest that could rival new years eve.
i don't remember it being so festive last year, or any other years in fact. did they lifted the band on fireworks or something?
oh funny story, i just found out the guy that sold us the fireworks in kedah is actually a cop! selling confiscated fireworks haha

Bean hunting around KL

Wondermilk, Publika / my attempt at cataloguing the infinite contents of Cat's bag / the super sweet "ice baby latte", two questions; why baby? & who gave you the right to decide how much sugar i want in my coffee huh punk?

listening to Zero 7 in bed because you've woken up too early but you don't want to get up just yet, because you can. ahhh the joys of being on holiday.
i'm back in KL for the rest of the break, or until i change my mind and impulse buy a ticket to oh i don't know, Mauritius.

days longer than nights

The sun rises at 6 and sets at 9. Something about that makes your day feel more productive (ok i'm on holiday, the most productive i get is going out for lunch haha) i love it! i don't want it to end just yet

andy+stella at Brighton / a chick that fell off it's nest that we brought home / the flock of seagulls that were after our lunch (fish+chips from that place in Parkdale) / Geelong

feeling a little silly for having coffee at supper. now everyone is asleep while i'm wide awake. no worries, i've got a amigurumi teddy bear to finish. oh did i mention i picked up crocheting today? yeah.. all in one afternoon, you gotta love youtube.
counting in spanish makes it easier to not lose track on the number of stitches, true story.

pinky toes are notoriously rebellious and have a bad attitude. when approached by said toe, do not make eye contact. 

good night people

40 degree scorcher

Too hot to go surfing today. So instead i'll just post some pictures of our fishing trip from the comfort of my air-conditioned living room. 

and no we didn't catch anything.
