Mum's birthday

It was Mum's birthday on Sunday, so the whole weekend was filled with eating lots of yummy food and a delicious strawberry cake. I feel like I'd gained about 5 kilos over the 2 days! We went out for her birthday dinner on Saturday night at Yummy Seafood Restaurant and Mum made pho the next day. Nothing beats Mum's home made pho :)





Mum's present - Kikki K leather travel wallet
I love it that this wallet can double as a clutch - Function + Fashion.
Less packing needed for holidays!

Just my luck

Last week was one unlucky week! What happened should have you guys feeling really sorry for me.

Coffee spilling
There I was minding my own business on the train, on my way to work. Suddenly the girl sitting next to me (one hand holding her coffee and the other busy facebooking away) slipped a hold of her coffee and sent it flying on my pants, shoes and feet! I was speechless, and by the time I finally registered what had just happened, the coffee had already soaked my pants. Now, even as a non-coffee drinker I do like its smell, especially the coffee beans smell. But…(big BUT) it’s just not nice to have it smelling on your clothes. Poor me was left stinky like this for the whole day!

Bird's dropping
Birdy, did I do anything to make you mistaken my arm for your toilet bowl? NO! So, why did you feel the need to aim for it when nature called? It totally ruined my appetite for the dessert I was eating, and not to mention my date! Luckily, it was not a first date or it would have been so embarrassing! Eeeekkk!! So note to self, never sit on a bench with an overshadowing tree. You never know what surprise it might have in store for you. Trust me, I found out the hard way last Saturday.

However, with every bad there is good - the law of yin & yang. So despite the above mishaps, here are some of the things that have made me happy.

Yummy churros & chocolate dip at San Churro

Leopard flats from Factorie

Vintage skirt from Queen's Wardrobe


Rose & teddy bear from Chris for Valentine's Day.
Was totally not expecting to get anything delivered to work today. 
I always tease him about not being romantic, but I know he is when
he wants to be. It was such a nice surprise :)

Moochi

Have you guys heard of Moochi? If not, then you're about to find out about it.

A few months ago I started seeing regular check-ins and photos from friends on facebook about frozen yoghurt from Moochi. I thought to myself "geez, it's just yoghurt....what's the big deal?". However, as there was so much hype around it, I gave into the word-of-mouth marketing and went to try it for myself. My jaw dropped when I saw the line! It was a Saturday night and no joke, there was at least 20 people waiting in the line. Crazy, right?

So, what happened after this first time experience? I am now hooked! I no longer have cravings for ice cream...it's all about frozen yoghurt now. It is seriously that good! Another benefit is that this dessert choice is less fattening so I can eat guilt-free.

If you guys are reading this post and happen to live in Sydney, then jump in your car/train/bus and make your way to yummy Moochi! You won't regret it :)

My usual choice:watermelon yoghurt with strawberry & lychee topping

On a non-food related note, guess what arrived at work today? My leopard print envelope clutch! I bought this 3 weeks ago on ebay so I've been waiting anxiously for its arrival. I can already envision all the outfits that will be paired with this. Can't wait to take it out!


Another online shopping purchase is due to arrive at work tomorrow. YAY! This online shopping business is so addictive (and costly)!
