So somehow my layout gets all retarded when i try to post the new post. Not sure if its due to the overflowing amount of pictures so i decided to split the original post in two. If it still gets retarded then.. i give up.

It was a hectic couple of days (but awesome nonetheless) when the bestie was here. We just basically ate and ate the whole trip away heh such fatties. Felt so good to have a 24/7 buddy around, particularly since i haven't seen him since mid last year. And since he stayed at my place for this trip, he's returning the favor when i go over to Melb yay! :D

Been craving for Cafe Sopra so i went to the one at Bridge St but they didn't have the dish i wanted boo. Its a whole lot smaller and located underground so lighting was really bad too. Haha romantic but not the vibe we were looking for. Yeah if you're already following me on Instagram, this would just be old pictures to you.



Had Laduree for tea break and i have to say i was a little disappointed this time. The macarons were like flat compared to the first time i bought them. Guess they prolly couldn't care less since they already established their brand? :/

Since we were gonna be in the city for the rest of his trip, we went to Bondi Junction and after an indecisive decision and me constantly bugging him about it, i finally decided on which Chanel earrings to get lol >:D I'm just waiting for the right day to go get them TEEHEE. Next week maybe?

My manager told me about this Thai place close by so i thought we could try it out for dinner. I think there's like only 2 people working there cause service was so slow and we prolly waited more than an hour for our food to arrive. The food was definitely good though, just came out a little too slow and we were way past hungry by then.


The next day, we went to the fish market for seafood yums. Haven't been there since 2010, when my brother was still around. So craving the lobster mornay, only finding the flesh now is like digging for treasure sigh. And he peeled the prawns for me aaww. Little things guys, little things ;)


The fish market is also pretty near the casino so since we had time to spare, he wanted to check it out (and win himself 'dinner money' lol to which he actually did). And then to add to our fatty moment, we had gelato at Messina mmnn!


Before heading back to the city, we had a little photoshoot moment by the docks :D I sure was surprised how he obliged to being my model haha. Now if only i could find a permanent friend here like that..



Walking along Darling Harbour, i was commenting how i really like the ang mohs' way of chilling; sitting at a bar/cafe and sipping on drinks. And he was like "you wanna?". We didn't realize it was happy hour at that time and haha i got red during the middle of the day. But the ambience was just so calming i couldn't help but get lost in it all.



We had Korean for dinner at my favourite place with more drinks. Even went to a bar after dinner for more cocktails. The only time when i'm an alcoholic, when the hometown friends are around hahaha drinking kaki yo! :P


I was pretty worn out that night having far too many drinks and walking around the entire day. Literally fulfilling the Friday night routine ftw, something i haven't done since i moved here. But it was worth it, being able to eat such good food and spend time with a familiar face.

AND, i heard my girls are planning to come visit in Easter omg so excited best news ever! I hope it works out cause we'll def go all out crazy! I miss you girls like mad yknow :(
