Where to eat?!

Does this question always bug you? 

"Where do you want to eat?" 

Usual response/ reply.. 

"I don't know. Anywhere." 

My brother recently celebrated his 23rd. So a couple of days before his birthday I asked him where did he want to have his birthday dinner. This was because I had to make reservations and what nots. So, I had to ask him the question above. And as usual, I got the expected answer. Sigh. 

Thank God for eatability.com. This website is like a food review forum. Just refine your search to the area you want to dine at, and what cuisine you want and you'll get a number of different restaurants popping up. Read the reviews, look at the average score and take your pick. 

I asked my brother to do just that, and we (with the cousins) ended up at WaQu in Crows Nest. 

Sorry for not having pictures of the interior WaQu. The lightings were pretty dim and I only had my ipod touch camera with me. So the pics turned out pretty crappy. But just so you know, the interior design isn't very artsy fartsy. It's on the minimalist side of things, but very classy. 

Nonetheless, I got pictures of my food. hehe

Basil sorbet with kara-age prawns and yuzu yoghurt

Chilled corn soup with prawn consomme jelly

Sashimi 3 way

WaQu Aquarium 

Wagyu beef

Dessert. Forgot the name. But...

It was something with ice cream and rosehip soup

Strawberry cheese birthday cake!

I really enjoyed my meal and WaQu. I bet everyone else did. The service was pretty good too. (: Definitely a place to go again if you ask me.

For a Cause...

I just received my Sereni & Shentel Borneo Block Party Regal Purple Headband yesterday..

This Borneo Collection is in support of the Semembai Literacy Project. This project is an adult literacy programme designed for rural women. And 50% of the proceeds from the Borneo Collection would go to the project! 

I'm loving the pua' inspired prints on this headband of mine! (:

I chose the Block Party 'cos I was looking for something simple this time 'round. But looking at the website again.. I'm thinking of the Borneo Mandy Black. :p

I love how Sereni & Shentel gives back to their community. 

Fashion with a cause. 

Have a look at the Borneo Collection here.

Brunch at Bills!

Hey there lovelies! 

I hope the week has been treating you good. I for one was and still is on busybee mode. But so far, all is still good! Hope it's the same on your end. 

This is probably stale news. haha But I'll still share it here on my blog. After months and months of saying "I want to go to Bills for brunch!!!" I finally made it there last Friday with a very good friend. Made my way to Woollahra, got lost on the way (so embarassing! I've no sense of direction) and then finally got food in front of me!

Bills is MY FAVOURITE brunch spot now. I LOVE their ricotta hotcakes! Super yumm! And not to mention, my rosehip and mint punch was also very refreshing. 

Will be heading back sometime soon to try other things on their menu. :)) 

For now, I leave you pictures. haha

If you're ever in Sydney, do pop by Bills. One word. Amazing. (:

I Screamed OMG!

Whoops! I meant to give an update earlier, but work has definitely taken a whole chunk of my time. So much so that I actually feel very exhausted already. Seeing that it's just Tuesday and it's not even 10 pm yet, I think I'm in a bit of trouble. "Burn Out" alarm is starting to ring. So, I decided that I'll give myself a rest tonight and just do what I want to (other than reading/ studying). Ok enough ranting. 

So last Wednesday, I saw myself in Acer Arena together with a couple of thousand other screaming fans at Usher's OMG Tour. Acer Arena was at capacity and everyone was enjoying every second of Usher's performance. His concerts are NOT in any way over-rated I assure you. If he pops by your city, be sure to make your way there! He'll blow your mind!!!

He performed a solid 2 hours and 15 mins that night. Sang his heart and soul and danced like how you see him 'doing-his-thing' in video clips. His moves are still TOO SMOOTH! I was a screaming fan that night. Even my cousin gave me the "dude, relax" look. haha Excuse her, I think I was screaming into her ear :p

So anyway, here are some photos I managed to snap! So glad I got pretty good seats which were relatively near. Thanks daddy :p haha

I've still got OMG on replay ;)

Have a great week ahead guys!

Woot woot!

Uber excited!

Taking the time to blog

As some of you might know, the past week has been pretty hectic. But I'm not complaining (: Sometimes being busy makes me feel productive. (: Weird.. haha

I feel like I haven't updated my little space here in the cyber world. So, before I go back to working on Finance questions, I shall give you a lil update on what's going on. 

I was blessed beyond words last week. Got 2 gifts out of the blues :)) Necklaces and bracelets! Oh joy!

Thanks Fara!

And Bowerhaus!

Super LOVE! :D

Oh, I taught my first class today! haha Didn't do as well as I expected :( Hopefully the students somehow managed to understand what I was trying to say. haha You know it's actually quite hard to explain simple interest and compound interest in words. In everyday language without getting technical?? LoL I have another class tomorrow. I shall improve myself for tomorrow. Hopefully as time goes by, I'll get the hang of it (:

That's about it I guess. haha. My weekend was spent in front of the computer typing out notes for my students. Rushing to finish my tutorial work. Nothing eventful. 

I just realized that I haven't been baking for the past month or so. I want to bake!! I'm thinking about baking a rainbow cake. Or a different coloured- layer cake! Anyone with any good recipes to share? If you do please drop me a note! Thanks!! (:

Whirlwind

I had one crazy week! My diary and schedule were so packed for the past few days. I was such a busy bee as I was part of the organizing team for Capital W's First Year's Welcome Party. 

The party was on Wednesday evening. And on that day, I somehow managed to carry 72 mini cupcakes and muffins to uni in one bag and cups, serviettes and serving plates in another. I was basically lugging 2 big bags and my handbag to uni. I don't know how I did that. But later that night, my hands and legs were sore. :( 

This was my first time co-organizing an event for Capital W. I had some experience volunteering with them before. But then I was just helping out that time. This time 'round, I had to oversee food, registration, gifts, presentation, program, etc. for the whole event. Thank God I was doing it with Jess. :) It was tough, but fun and I definitely managed to learn loads from the Executive team. 

The turn-out for the night was much more than expected. It was an RSVP event, but some girls who didn't manage to do so came along too. I call that enthusiastic! :D Luckily we had enough food. And space. 

Overall, everyone enjoyed themselves. The feedback was positive! The girls enjoyed the food AND the gifts we had for lucky draw. It's so satisfying to see that our hard work paid off. I was especially happy as I was in-charge of getting sponsorship for gifts. Managed to get Bowerhaus to help us out! :)) They were so supportive! Thanks girls! xoxo

Lucky draw gifts from Bowerhaus, Oroton and Napolean Perdis

Happy winner!

Now that I'm done with the event, I've to put my head together to clear off my uni work. I can't let my extra-curricular activities affect my studies, can I? 

Time to get down to business now! Hope your week has been great! Have a great weekend ahead!
