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,

Emily’s birthday lunch celebration @Austrian Schitzelhaus, Neutral Bay

Dear Chibi,

Last night Marcus, Emily and I hung out after work to see the Vivid displays around Circular Quay. It happened to be International Burger Day so we end up dining at Maccas’ and claiming our free Big Mac, woo XD.

There’s usually a ton of people at Vivid, but it really made a difference coming on a Monday night. There were still people, but it wasn’t crazy packed where you felt like you couldn’t move.

Here are some pics I snapped along the way :D The photos aren’t great quality, but it’s about experiencing it in person…right?? XD (I didn’t feel like bringing my camera ^^”)

Snugglepot and Cuddlepie animation. There was even a little booth selling merch XD

Dear Chibi,

Today Newway and Alex invited us over for a fun afternoon session of DIY Pizza :D! I arrived around noon and got really excited upon seeing all the ingredients laid out on the table. So much prep work had been done!

So, making the pizza was pretty easy seeing as Newway already did all the hard work. Firstly we spread the tomato pizza base over Lebanese bread and simply topped it up with whatever we liked. I’m not a vegetarian, but I’m always drawn to vegetarian pizzas because of its vibrant colours. I love pineapples on pizzas…mmm. Once that’s done, Newway would pop it into the oven and TADA. Magic happens.

Carzy is all about the cheese. HER WHOLE PIZZA HAD A BILLION LAYERS. We laughed, and joked and teased. Then her pizza came out perfectly. We all started adding more cheese, lol.

Honestly, I was really impressed by how well the pizzas turned out. It actually looks legit and tastes really good!

After our pizza fun, we had home made Panna Cotta for dessert. Oh yummy. I need to make this *_*

Thank you again Newlex for being such amazing hosts and having us over. I had so much fun today!

I wish Hubby was here. I know he would have loved it :)

Dear Chibi,

Before I start jotting down my weekend adventures, I want to say a big Happy Birthday to my twinbee Kaz, who spent her birthday in Kangaroo Valley :D (She’s 5 minutes older, which I’m sure you could tell ;D)

One of the great things about having your birthday land on a Monday is being able to turn a single day affair into a weekend of celebrations. (I’m totally not complaining!) In fact, I was enjoying it so much I didn’t want it to end. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it was my birthday every day? “Haha, you wish!” I hear you saying ;D Of course, I’m just being greedy. I know Hubby spoils me every single day :3

First thing on the menu was Hubby’s breakfast~ katsu sando! :D How cute is this little sandwich? It was his first time making it, and it was a delight ^^

Before we made our way to Bundeena, we stopped by this neat little cafe called Elatte Cafe. Oh my, the food is totally made for Instagram. How pretty is that pancake?? *drools* Taste did not disappoint either. So yummy!

When we arrived at the Royal National Park, we dropped by our little shack where we’d be spending the night. It has a fully equipped kitchen but the outdoor bath tub was our favourite feature ^.^

Dear Chibi,

Guess who’s over 30? 8D My birthday weekend begun on Saturday night with Korean BBQ @ O Bal Tan with the Cofa gang. It’s been a while since we’ve hung out with everyone, but birthdays bring us together ;D

~Mesmerizing~  *.*

Food was pretty good and super filling! I didn’t pay too much attention to what meat I was eating, I just had whatever Hubby/Emily/MZ put on my plate (which was plenty!) XD Here are some snaps from the night (Click on the photo for a larger view)

The guys got us a chopping board I mean, cheese serving board and a gift voucher for the Cheese & Wine Room. I will definitely blog the experience when we try it out some time ^_^ Thanks everyone!

After the meal, it was time for cake & birthday wish-making :D
