Dear Chibi,

This time every year, the red flowers blooming on our balcony would remind me of our beautiful wedding day 4 years ago. These last couple of years have been the best days of my life, and I feel so lucky and proud to call him my husband.

Dear Chibi,

An overdue catch up dinner with Robbie & Roy @Taste of Shanghai. Mmmm haven’t had xiaolongbao in a while~ ^^ juicy juicy

For some reason it’s always cold when we meet up.. XP

Guess who’s having a baby?! :D

Dear Chibi,

Yesterday was our little Newway’s Baby Shower which was held at Village Green BBQ Area in Breakfast Point. I recognized quite a few faces from her Bachelorette party from a year ago. Hello again!

Dear Chibi,

I’m quite surprised by how cold it’s been despite being October already. Can I please pack away my winter gear soon? ^^” This year for Floz’s birthday we had Spanish cuisine for dinner at Subsolo in the city. During the day Hubby and I went to check out The Home Show hoping to get some reno inspiration, but I think we had more luck browsing IKEA XD. I wonder when this project will become a reality? :3

Here are some snaps from the night.

Dear Chibi,

Last night we caught up with this lovely bunch at Billu’s Indian Eatery in Harris Park. Nothing quite like spicy on a cold, wet, gloomy night :) It’s been a few months since our last hangout and Bert is now pretty huge :D (I CAN FINALLY MENTION THIS ON MY BLOG XD) Can’t wait for the Baby Shower next week :)

Dear Chibi,

Wow, it’s already October. I’ve been MIA for the past month since I’ve been pretty sick with the flu and have only just recovered (sort of). I’m still dealing with back and rib cage pain from all the coughing, but I am getting better :’) I’ve been watching a lot of TV and playing Starcraft. I’m not really sure if playing Starcraft is the best idea, but 2v2 is relatively mindless.

Belated Birthday @Concrete Jungle Cafe

On Saturday, I met up with the girls for Kat’s 32nd birthday brunch. We tried out this neat little cafe in Chippendale, located next to Spice Alley. It was busy but we didn’t have to wait to be seated.

Ohhh pretty. I ordered one hot chocolate but was given another one for free ;3 I had both.

Bircher Muesli. That 10/10 presentation :O The actual meal itself was ‘okay’. I don’t know why I chose this since I don’t really like muesli (nor do I like pears which this has). HAHAHA yes.. I am weird. BUT IT LOOKS PRETTY XD

The other girls got the Sriracha Spiced Salmon Poke Bowl + Barramundi. mmm…*Drools*

Great service, friendly staff and pretty food. I would love to come again (but order something else XD)

P.S Staff thought we were Japanese and kept saying ‘arigatou’ to us, lol.

Brunch @Ristretto & Co Cafe

On Sunday, Sompies and I caught up in the morning for brunch at ‘Ristretto & Co Cafe’ in Liverpool. Should I call this the long weekend of brunches? ;D

This time I made sure to order something I actually wanted to eat… waffles!!

OMG LOOK AT THIS PRETTY UNICORN LOOKING THING. Okay, it’s just fairy floss but it’s pink and cute and..and.. SUPER SWEET. It turns out we were both craving for something sugary. I also got a watermelon juice which tasted bland in comparison to the sweet overload that is the waffles XDDDD It was delicious, but I also think I’ve reached a weeks quota of sugar in one meal :’D SEND HELP.

It was a refreshing way to end a crazy month.

October, please treat me well :)

Dear Chibi,

Happy first day of spring!!

Who doesn’t love a mini replica? :D Last month Coles supermarkets had a promotion where if you spend over $30 in one transaction, you get a random ‘mini’ of  a everyday consumer good. Hubby and I regularly shop at Coles but we hardly ever spend over $30 in one go. I didn’t think I’d be able to get my hands on any, but luckily my work colleague was collecting these for her daughter and gave me her extras! Yes… ALL of these were her duplicates!! Lucky me! There were 30 different products to collect. I end up with 13.

My favourites from the lot: Colgate toothpaste, Tim Tam, Leggo’s bolognese sauce, Oak chocolate milk and Milo.

The parent and baby :D

Dear Chibi,

The friendly folks at Madman recently sent me a double pass to see ‘Mirai (Mirai of the Future)’ which came out yesterday. We tend to avoid watching trailers since they usually show the best bits, so Hubby and I went in pretty blindly having no idea what this movie was about. It turned out pretty cute and entertaining : )

I also caught a shiny Sableye on our way home *.* Feeling lucky today!

Dear Chibi,

For those who know me, I usually avoid eating spicy foods as my tolerance has always been rather low. Well, over the last couple of years Hubby has slowly trained me up and today sent this challenge my way:

It was actually quite delicious XD.

We both ate a bowl each, and I found the amount of sweat dripping from Hubby’s forehead so amusing XD Meanwhile my face is completely dry and I didn’t drink any water until I finished the whole thing.

WHAT A BOSSS. Yup, I just said that about myself :D

I’m still horrified by the sight of chili peppers though ^^”

Dear Chibi,
