Dear Chibi,

Today I got to hang out with my sisters at The Grounds of Alexandria. Kat treated Kaz and I to lunch at The Potting Shed~ our last birthday outting for the year. Last time I was here I ordered the cheese burger so I wanted to try something different. I end up going for the ‘Braised Rabbit and Fresh Egg Tagliatelle’..I know, weird choice…. braised rabbit?? Not long after I ordered it, I started to get nervous about the idea. Oh god please taste normal ^^” Well, thankfully it just tasted like braised beef in a tomato base sauce.

After our meal, we browsed around and checked out the markets & farm animals. This place looks amaziiinnggg. The flowers are gorgeous too.

Dear Chibi,

Today I got surprised with these beautiful native plants from my awesome twinbee :D I have a feeling they will be sitting on my desk for a while ^^
Arigatou Kaz! Love it :D

Dear Chibi,

I’ve officially reached the big 3-0! Also, a big happy birthday to my twinbee Kaz :)

I had the most amazing & memorable birthday, and although it’s a little sad to say goodbye to my 20s, I’m thankful for everything that’s happened in my life. Thank you Hubbiana for spoiling me silly and making me feel extra special <3

Dear Chibi,

Tonight Hubby and I celebrated our 30th birthday with the uni guys at Rosan Japanese Cuisine, Darlinghurst. We picked this restaurant because it was nice and intimate and the menu looked pretty good ~It did not disappoint! :) Ah, the sushi was especially oishii! :D

Some pics from the night:

Dear Chibi,

Last Saturday Hubby and I went up to Mt Wilson to see the colours of Autumn. Prime time would’ve been early April, but there’s something charming about leaves falling to the ground as well (as long as it’s not in your backyard, then there’s work to do! ;D)

We didn’t get to spend a lot of time here, but it was fun :) Next time we’ll bring a DSLR, hehe.

Dear Chibi,

Last Thursday Hubby officially joined the 30s club! I asked him how he felt about it, and his response was basically “I felt 30 when I turned 29” XD Well Mr Felt-like-30-for-awhile, time to make you feel like a kid again :D For his birthday, Hubby wanted to do something simple & relatively low key. He also likes to watch strangers eat massive amounts of food on Youtube. So what better excuse to do something crazy & fun like eating a whole platter of sushi and filming it? 8D

We ordered this party platter from our local Japanese restaurant, which is a combination of rolls & nigiri. It has 45 pieces for 4-6 people. Now don’t let these pictures fool you, it’s a lot bigger (and heavier) than it appears! We didn’t expect much from this place, but holy moly was this good :O! Everything was so fresh! I had one of each sushi and was basically done after 11 pieces XD Hubby soldiered on bravely :’D

Watch Hubby demolish this platter in this fun short video:

Annnd…..MISSION COMPLETE!! Poor Hubby had crazy food coma afterwards lol

Dear Chibi,

Last night Mal invited us over for dinner for our usual catch-up with the girls and boys. Mal’s parents prepared a delicious meal for us and we spent the night catching up, eating good food and drinking expired wine (Courtesy of Helen ;D).

Our dear Mal is also turning 30 (It’s today!)

I’ve known Mal since she was 12. We became friends in 8th grade, and she was basically my bestie for most of my High School life. I’m so grateful that after all these years, we still hang out like the old days (minus the studying). Thank you Mal for being the beautiful person you are. I hope you had an amazing birthday and thanks everyone for another great evening :)

Dear Chibi,

I spent most of the week sick at home…but I’ve started to feel better just in time for Somps and Dong’s 30th birthday this weekend. They held a BBQ at their place with around 30 people. It was a pretty hot day! Actually this whole weeks been super hot @.@” I can’t wait till summer’s over that’s for sure.

On our way there, we were unfortunately involved in a car accident when a car popped out of nowhere and crashed into us >.< Thankfully no one was hurt, and the damage was relatively minor. We’ll need to get the car fixed sometime next week. I’m just glad we’re all okay. It was pretty scary :(

Dear Chibi,

Today is mum’s birthday. With my bro in Melbourne for Pax this weekend, Kaz and I took mum out shopping at Miranda Westfields. We had lunch at ‘Kelly’s Bar and Grill’ which was inside the shopping centre (in a very hidden spot, mind you ;D). It wasn’t too busy in here which was good for us. Food was quite tasty though that Seafood platter is probably not worth $49..just saying ;p

Dear Chibi,

Today we celebrated MZ’s 30th birthday with lunch at ‘Cookies Lounge Bar’ in North Strathfield. I kept thinking we would be having cookies but its all a lieeeee ;p. I ordered a chicken schnitzel & a lemon lime bitters. It end up costing me $10 thanks to MZ’s voucher. Thanks MZ :D After lunch, we moved next door to ‘Cheeky Chocolate Room’ for some sweet drinks.

Hubby couldn’t join us since he had Tough Mudder for James’s bucks. I hope he’s having a good time :3
