Dear Chibi,

Last Sunday over the long weekend, we had a get together for Sompies’ 31st birthday. Lunch was at Al Aseel in Greenacre, where we had lots of meat and garlic sauce… in my case, it was lots and lots of onions ^.^”

We ordered way too much food, but I gotta say my side of the table were much bigger eaters XD Hubby, Rayfy, Steffi and I just kept going…. It was a satisfying meal!

Dear Chibi,

Today we celebrated Kat’s 31st with lunch at COOH Organic Cafe at Alexandria. It was our first time here and we were not disappointed! The food was fresh and delicious. Out of our 3 meals though, I think Kat’s pumpkin falafel is the winner.

Dear Chibi,

Birthday celebration for Rayfy’s 30th, the baby-face in the group :D

Dinner @ Fratelli Fresh Macquarie St

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 :)
