Thursday sunset after work
Meet Cameron - one of my favourite kids. He's actually one of the most restless kids and I don't know why I feed him Hubba Bubba every lesson but it does the trick regardless. He's actually quite the smart boy but his lack of concentration screws him over. I guess you really can't have it all in the end.
Dan's Gumshara virginity LOL If you guys have followed me for a while you'll know that I'm crazy about their broths and finally took the kid to have a taste. It was pretty risky because it's hit or miss, you either like it or you don't. Taking this into account, Dan got the light broth and I ended up with my thick soup hehe. All turned out well ^____^
Satisfied my zonut cravings at The Star, pretended to be high rollers and window shopped the branded stores. Walked into Ferragamo as usual and hoped to find the really cute bracelet I had been fascinated over for quite some time but if memory serves me right, they didn't have it on display sigh. This is basically a ritual now with every Ferragamo store we pass LOL. Every time I say Ferragamo I always think of Rhydian in Tiny Times (where I first heard about Ferragamo). Lily pretended to be knowledgeable and mistook Rhydian's Ferragamo suit for Prada. So whenever I say Ferragamo in my head, I say it in Rhydian's voice LOL
Lunch date at The Little Snail
Obligatory pate
Obligatory bitters
Dan's veal
My usual seafood platter
Dan seemed of the sticky date pudding from our guerilla double date with Lulu and Chris i.e. BrianSoc Cruise hence the same order this time again!
Creme Brulee
Pet Paradise in Hurstville, the morning where we decided to have brunch at a cafe nearby before heading to DFO. Are these bunnies not the cutest things ever? They were so fluffy, I kept poking my hand through the cage just to get a feel of their fur and I must say, THEY'RE SO FLUFFY UNFFF
I feel like Lee Hyori with all these animal photos hehe
Carbonara for lunch! Dan had this Hawaiian toast which he was very fond of (his mum took him a while back and he remembered it to be very tasty) but the food took so long to come out! There comes a point in life where you actually contemplate if the waiting time for your food is actually worth the wait.
DFO! Even though I didn't go in, this is definitely one of my favourite stores heh. Not sure if there was a gathering on but there were actually so many people at DFO? Bumped into Haley & Jasper at Tarocash then Brian & Shirley?! What are the odds wow
Spent a few solid hours roaming, a lot was spent in Oroton and Ralph Lauren. Ended up buying polos and v-necks, a wallet for Dan and a more business oriented wallet for myself. Played the pretend-high roller game as usual and spent quite a while in BOSS (Dan kept wanting to get something from the store but he didn't know what to get LOL so we probably spent just under an hour walking around the store in circles). There was this really furry and extremely comfortable coat but it was in L and it looked like a bath robe, I don't remember how much it costed but it was definitely much moneys. Wanted to get a trench coat from Coach but the only sizes were M and L and M was too big for me so that was definitely a downer.
Ma'An Shan Friendship Park! If you guys know your Chinese literature well you'll recognise that the statue on the left is actually 李白。It's a nice sculpture but it brings back too many unwanted memories of my childhood. Dad would make me memorise his poetry in my primary days in an attempt to help me with Chinese. It was a dreaded process but it definitely did it's job in the end. Thanks Dad.
This was also the day where I was minutes away from tutoring Neo - where I hastily wrote a note in preparation for a surprise visit later on in the evening. The goodies were 'delivered' in the end but my plan nearly failed because of certain 'variables'. Oh well, the uncertainty of everything was actually the best part (and most anxious component) of the surprise. The things we do for love ^_______^
Pork roll party with Kenjin at Dan's house!
Hehe Buddy is as cute as a button
Let me begin with KENJIN CANNOT BIG DOGE AT ALL.
He spent 99% of the time clinging on behind me and screaming whenever Buddy approached him. He used my jacket as a 'shoo away' device, he looked like those Spanish bullfighters waving around my jacket at Buddy. Wanted to slap him for it because Buddy's face was all up in my jacket (and he hasn't been smelling too friendly lately) so the last thing I would've wanted was clothing that smelt like poop. Ended up locking him outside with Buddy and for 15 minutes Kenjin bonded with Buddy? Bonding as in him making weird ass noises and thinking that he can talk to dogs, it was the most hilarious thing on Earth (actually laughed my ass off). Instead of utilising Dan's place for a study sesh, we ended up playing mah jong with just the three of us LOL Had to reteach Kenjin everything and I think he got it in the end? LOL
Either way it was a short but great day hehe, family ftw!
