回忆

当你发现你的脸上还会冒青春豆的时候，你以为自己还很青春，其实19岁已不再是那些年了。

说起回忆每每存在无限感慨；大家都很喜欢回忆，但回忆从不为我们停留。

“呵呵。” 回忆嘲笑人们呢～

这样，你还喜欢它吗？由始至终，无论回忆怎么践踏人们，我们还是义无反顾无时无刻地说起它。只要关于回忆的话匣子一被打开，就无法结束。

一段段的回忆编织另一段回忆。

听，至少人们幸福的声音遮盖了它的嘲笑声。
至少，我们都还幸福并感恩着。

Shucked Coffee House @ Newstead & Chouquette Patisserie Cafe @ New Farm

What's breakfast for Saturday? With no doubt we will shout out: B R U N C H! Ahahaha, so Saturday has definitely become our brunch day.  

I felt so thankful that I have a friend who shares the same passion on food.  Both of us love brunch to the max!  And our goal is to visit all the brunch cafes in Brisbane.  This sounds impossible, but we know we can make it comes true one day. 

Last Saturday's stop was at Shucked Coffee House.  We've been talking about this cafe since months ago and finally we made our way there!  It was a really hot morning and the cafe was quite stuffy inside.

And we ordered some cold drinks to kick start the day! I had the coconut & mango smoothies and she had the strawberries milkshake.  Mine was tasteless when I had the first sip, but it turned out to be REAL GOOD at the end.  However, both of us couldn't stand the sweetness of the strawberries milkshake - sweetness overload.

I decided to have something light so this is it! Mixed vegetables salad with grilled haloumi and poached eggs. I love that beetroot relish!

(I love beetroot to the max)

And yes, apparently baked eggs is her favourite. 

After that, we did window shopping along James Street, Fortitude Valley to help digesting the food before the dessert session!

Then, we headed to Chouquette Patisserie @ New Farm for dessert! 

Forgot its name, it's like mousse cake with nuts in between. The salted caramel macadamia was really nice. Crunchy, sweet plus a hint of bitter.

I'm not a big fan of tarts: I'll give a 7 out of 10 for this tart anyways, for it's not too sweet & there's pistachio! But the pastry was too hard for me! 

Sum up the mid semester break.

Ohno. It's almost mid october!

So today is Queensland Labour Day (nothing to do with me, am just happy about that as it gives the uni students one more extra holidays) and I decided to update my blog.  The last post was on the 16th September! Not only dealing with studies and gatherings (opps food), I was busy packing up and moving in a new house! (tadaaa)

What I've done during the mid semester break:
1. Cleaning cleaning cleaning unpacking unpacking unpacking

2. Visited Ikea for several times - spent 3-4 hours each time (sick of it already)

3. Went for the Smurf 2 movie with my two youngest siblings! - There was this funny incident and my sister claimed that I embarrassed her. Before the movie actually started, I told them, 'don't disturb me later ah, jie jie gotta sleep. you guys enjoy'. However, I was the one laughing like mad in the theatre. My brother eventually asked me to keep quiet because my laughter was way too loud and the woman sitting in front of me turned over and stared at me. Oh well, I highly recommended Smurf 2. =P

4.  Baking - the matcha cheesecake

5. Gatherings - Dinner and steamboat!

6. Went to surfers paradise! Finallyyyy. Believe it or not, it was my first time there! and my first time eating two scoops of gelato on waffle cone!

Sunnies, Tiger, Gelato!

Now everything has been settled, really appreciate that my parents actually flew to Brisbane to help us. They knew my sister and I can't handle this properly. (Yes, dad assembled some furnitures and changed the door handle - but failed; and the super mom did all the laundry, cleaning and unpacking!) Not to forget about the awesome friends who spent their afternoon in assembling furnitures! A million thanks ya!

What's up next? STUDIES, definitely.  Exams is in three weeks time and I AM SERIOUSLY NOT PREPARED YET. I should really go to every lecture/listen to lecture recordings if I miss one next sem.(I hope I can do that hey) Exams on the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th Nov - I finish in the first week of the exams period. I wonder is that a good thing.

With God, we can!
