My 4 month holiday/break from uni is almost over with uni starting on Monday for me. Since the end of the break was fast approaching and uni tends me to suck a lot out of me, I'm trying to catch up with as many people as possible. This led to last Friday's outing.

Last Friday, I trekked up to the city for the first time in a while. I had 2 hours to kill before I met up with Rosa so I decided to roam about the city, just to familiarise myself again with what it had to offer. Upon meeting up with Rosa, we headed over to Circular Quay to catch up with Judy, who is working there. We sat outside of MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) and we actually got talking about some serious topics. I found out things about my previous classmates in high school and just caught up on everything that was happening. Jane then arrived and joined us where we got talking about different topics again. Just talking to them 3 really reminded me of what it's like to just simply catch up and have a good talk.

Rosa, Jane and I then headed to the rooftop cafe at MCA which is a really good looking cafe with an awesome view of the Harbour but dang it, it was windy. The food was really good and we just sat there for about 2 hours just talking about this and that. After we left, Rosa made it her mission to make us more "arty-farty", well that's what I think anyways. When Rosa and Jane found out I haven't gone to Hyde Park, they took it upon themselves to take me there and show me the spots that I had to take my future boyfriend, which they will also find for me.

All in all, it was a great day with friends and an awesome way to depart from my holidays.

The 14th of February is known as Valentine's Day aka the 'Day of Lurveeee'. Typically people would celebrate this day with their girlfriend/boyfriend but since I am single, I decided that myself and a friend would go out to dinner and be each other's date. To make the day even more special I thought I would bake heart shaped cupcakes to give to her. They didn't turn out exactly how I liked but for my first time using the moulds I was pretty satisfied. At least now, I know how much batter to put into it to make it turn out perfectly.



We decided to head out to Canley Heights since that is where all the new restaurants are popping up. We headed into 'La Grilla' which is a modern Korean BBQ restaurant. At this restaurant, if you order meat, they cook it for you instead of you cooking it yourself which can displease certain customers. The food was pretty good especially their kimchi. We kept asking for seconds. The staff were very attentive and super nice, and the restaurant had a really good vibe to it. I would definitely recommend it and go back especially for the side dishes. We are already planning on going back to try out their soups.




After dinner, we headed out to get some dessert. The coffee ice-cream was the best one I have had so far and I thought 'Passionflower' was good but this takes the cake. My friend ordered the fried ice-cream and I loved the presentation of the dish.

I have decided that at the end of each month, I will do a recap of the month and what I found to be highlights of it. This is to make me reflect on the month and ensure that I post at least once a month ... I know I'm bad and lazy but at least I acknowledge it right?
