I am feeling satisfied after Hazelnut Moose Cake

Its a cool saturday evening over here in sydney. Its been cloudy the whole day but there has been no signs of rain. Its already spring. Apparently, they have got a fixed date to denote spring : 1st September. Oh ya! By the way it just started raining :-) But i have realised the rain over here barely lasts for fifteen minutes. Hmm no wonder sydney is suffering from a draught. People are not allowed allowed to wash their cars unless they go to car washers. I guess people here are more environment friendly. Can you imagine if there was a law against car washing in Singapore due to a shortage of water? I would still see people washing their cars in their car porches. This is so Singapore!

I have been sick for the past three days. I had symtoms of the flu since thursday. But its not too bad. Not to the extent where i have a dripping nose *Touch Wood* I was down with a fever too. Took some medications but am still able to function normally. I don't really have to be confined to the bed. So i have been up and about.

Friday was a pretty ordinary day for me. I stayed in. Read a book. Fridays are days where i just relax and laze around. Did some cleaning. Soaked a few clothes for laundry. The day passed with the blink of an eye and i realised that another day of me in sydney is gone. One day closer to my return to Singapore. I am having contradicting feelings about heading back home. I know its pretty early to be thinking about it but nevertheless the thought is worth the penny :-) Returning to Singapore would signify the start of a new phase of life which is a double edged sword. I am excited to step into the working adult life but yet afraid at what tomorrow might bring. Time will just fly so fast. Before i know it, it would be time for me to settle down and i guess you can continue the rest of the story yourself. Yup! I am afraid of how time will fly past. Will i be able to enjoy the moments in my life or is it just going to be a day to day routine?I guess i'll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings with it.. ANYWAYZ!

I met up with Melati in the afternoon. It was supposed to be a coffee outing cum grocery shopping day. We met at 2.30pm at Auburn station (one stop away from Lidcombe and thats where i am residing). The minah had not had lunch yet and i was greedy. I had three slices of bread though. So kononnya not a full lunch la ;-) We headed down to Aporto's for food. I was craving for a burger. Was actually hoping for a Zinger but OH WELL!! Aporeto's Bondi Burger had to do it. We sat near the entrance and it was freaking cold as the wind was practically howling. We then went on to Gloria Jean's Cafe for coffee. It was her treat!! :-) Thanks mela! Owe you one! We had the Hazelnut Chocolate Mouse Cake to go with it. It was sinful but it was GREAT!! So dinner was settled for me as well..Haha We managed to set a sofa seat. It was much much warmer in the cafe. We just laid back and relaxed and had a good chat, watched the passer bys on the street and took dozens of pictures of ourselves. Mela the perfectionist wanted a PERFECT shot. There was this middle aged Turkish man sitting in front of us sipping his coffee and ten minutes later this Hong Kong lady appears and goes " Hey darling" and gives him a kiss. I was so tempted to take a picture, follow him home that night and show his wife the picture..HAHA...things you think of when you're lazing around!

We then eventually enetered Woolworths supermarket and picked up the needed groceries. I notice that i buy the same thing every week. Maybe i change the type of fruit i buy. The type of cereal i buy is constant. But thats because i hate corn flakes and anything that has got to do with raisins. Did you know they have cereals specially catered to women above the age of forty??? Well i didn't :-) Hmmm living on a student's budget i guess everything has to be the same..simple and affordable.

Now i am back in my cozy room sipping on warm water, writing this extremely long blog. Hope i have not bored you. Thats it for now. End of torture...hehe
