Miss a day, huge backlog. Lesson to be learned: Be consistent.

Breakfast: French toast using the 2 ends of the loaf.

Lunch: Curry Chicken Don at Don Don.

Awesome bar counter at Don Don, such a variety of liquors on display/sale! Noteworthy was the bottle of Absinthe Blue.

The EAP class had a surprise for Neralie (our EAP tutor) after class: a birthday cake! She had her 50th last weekend, and let us off early from class (last class on Friday). So the others felt they had to do something, so this week they bought a (strawberry cheese) cake for her. She was pleasantly surprised (who wouldn't be? everybody loves cake), and we sang her a (belated) birthday song, cut the cake, hung around and chatted for like half an hour. And all was well.

Dinner: Random stir-fry, consisting broccoli, carrot, mushroom and chicken strips.

Went to Zitai's place for a little sinful indulgence. Here's Miu Miu (his cat) occupying my (warmed) seat while I went to get a drink. Charming.

Breakfast: Toast with Salami and a sunny-side-up.

Went shopping/walkabouts in the afternoon. Took a tram all the way down to Federation Square stop to get me some Lord of the Fries! Here pictured with Vietnamese (chilli mayo) sauce on it. Not too shabby, mayo wasn't too overpowering and had a subtle eggy hint to it, like it was handmade.

There was this band playing in the middle of the compound where I got my fries. They were making awesome music and drew a huge crowd. The violins were good.

Saw this misshapen pikachu outside EB games as I was walking up Swanston to QV. The two girls pictured gave it a huge hug after I took the shot. So cute la.

Swarming pigeons in a clearing. A little kid tried to kick/chase/scream at/scare them but failed ultimately.

Dinner: Yesterday's leftovers, fried-rice style. Left it cooking a wee bit too long, egg had gone from fluffy to dry.
