Current temperature: 11 deg C (I must stress that, it's just too cold downunder when I thought Winter is sneaking away already)
Where on earth am I: Melbourne (Google Earth can help you spot where Melbourne is)

Hihi it's dianb here, it's my first entry here and i feel like i should hav  written something here given that i claim myself as one of the pigs in this House :")

quick updates of wt i've done with food these days:

First of all, thanks Winnie and Ching for taking the risk of being 巨額罰款 and 收監 to bring me the Tempura powder and the Ice Cream powders (didn't realised there's a big MILK written on there)

Winnie and ching's visit--> winnie (AND I) made an Apple Crumble, which looked like a stew instead!

First night:

Result: half of it eaten up by my brother, 真夠義氣

Then some day (hav no idea why i looked so pale in the pic, maybe it's a post-exam syndrome):

We went to that Chocolate Bhudda modern Japanese cuisine down in that all-modern but ugly (i reckon) Federation Square, which was selectively 唔抵食夾唔大件 (well some of them were ok, like the Sashimi Rice above (not mine actually, ar Ching the Jap food to-die-for boy ordered it)

Other things we've done:

Yering Station Winery-Mornington Peninsula-Lygon Street Little Italy

And that was a nice 10 day out

My stay in HK
Highlight-- Strawberry Mille Feuille 士多啤梨吉士拿破崙@coup kitchen
setting aside the master always singing 80s' 譚詠麟 & 蔡楓華 out of no reason...

I think I'm the only person in the class who screwed the cake... I overbaked it and half of it went black and smoky -__-"

Again, thanks Winnie for letting me grab a layer of her 酥皮, if not it my cake will just be nothing but pieces fallen apart:

Treated sugar brother and his wife-to-be as a 'wedding cake' (provisional):

GoodX10:  Grilled baby octopus with fattoush(??) and taramasolata(???)

Breakfast@ Darlinghurst
Bill's
And this restaurant that I've endeavoured to go for soooo much, after half an hours walking and fetching, well... turned out okay, except for the price which was a bit breath-taking as well

Ultimate sumptuousness

                                           left: adina right: dianb       you just don't want to leave

and last stop... Sydney Fish Market
Seafood lovers will be hyper there, didn't get the chance to take the pics of all the fresh seafood since they're closing...
IMGP1504well you don't expect to see a bird like this big in the car park...
IMGP1505IMGP1508

To say, Sydney's really the place to be, all year round sunny and warm weather, great coastline, spectacular harbours, beaches and holiday mood-ful

Melbourne... hmmm... an artistic place, plenty to see and play, it's my 2nd home:)

It's a really really long entry... but what's up there is just so great that I'd spend hours and hours recalling them, hope you guy's like it

- Cheerio... mate!

p.s.tks athena for sharing the pics:)

又到了exchange 季節:

DSCN2869 DSCN2877

離開  這一刻感覺不會忘記
  朋友  抱擁告別明天各自遠飛
  難得  並沒傷感依依不捨顧慮
  重拾昨天  樂趣一堆

  曾經  每一天相約找美麗去
  陶醉  美的故事互相勉勵去追
  曾經  望著天空一起哭泣至睡
  臨別說起  亦笑相對

別了依然相信  以後有緣再聚
  未曾重遇以前  要珍惜愛自己
  在最好時刻分離不要流眼淚
  就承諾在某年  某一天某地點  再見


TODAY WHILE THE BLOSSOMS
STILL CLING TO THE VINE
I'LL TASTE YOUR STRAWBERRIES
I'LL DRINK YOUR SWEET WINE
A MILLION TOMORROWS
SHALL ALL PASS AWAY
ARE WE FORGET ALL THE JOY
THAT IS OURS TODAY

 Windy, Dede, Adrian, 臨別時腦海一片空白,

浮現的就只有兒時紀念冊的老土對白:

萬事珍重

                                                       祝

前程似錦

Thx to the "warm n welcoming" service by the manager of Pokka Cafe who has made us waited for more than half an hour for our 芒果雪花冰!!!.
