Goodbye April, hello May....the best month of all...no need to say why either...you should all know the reason hehe!
Anyway, let me quickly enlighten you with the events of April!
My parents returned from Sydney with krispy kremes (which disappeared within a day) and said that the only thing they liked about the place, was the variety of food, everything else sucked according to them...guess they had a totally different experience to me then. I loved Sydney! Anyway, after 2 weeks of them being away I was glad for the paros to be back, my cleaning/cooking/washing role dropped by 75% haha, but the nagging increased by say...100% meh!
Also, on one of the nights the gang got together for TABOO night! I was quite excited because we were playing a new game. It required a lot of thinking and brain work, but I think we did pretty well =) I remember that I munched on way too many chips, which ended up being my dinner for that night =( More games please!
The very next day was another FRU event, kicking and running around, with a ball! The turn out was pretty good, 9 people I think with the girls versus 3 guys haha. We kicked, we ran and laughed until our stomachs hurt and in the end I think the teams ended up being quite even although I think the girls were alot better =D Surprisingly, I was a lot more tired after this event than any other! Good stuff!
One of the major highlights for the month and probably the year so far was going to Margaret River =D We began our trip day with breakfast at the markets haha! I swear the food there is pretty good and cheap...had the usual bacon, eggs and sausages with OJ. Bought a few road trip snacks and away we went! We experienced a lot of road works along the way that delayed us a bit, but learnt that those lollipop people that hold up stop signs earn $90 grand a year...how awesome! hehe we finally got into MR town at around 3pm then headed towards Prevelly, where our beach apartment awaited us =D The place that we stayed at was amazing...so so pretty! We settled in and then headed into town to buy something to cook, steaks and sausages with mash...we're awesome cooks now =P The next day was our 3 year anni and we celebrated with a whole day wine tour around the region. We were picked up first by Bushtucker tours in a mini bus and then it continued to picked up other tourists. Our tour guide was called Silvano, who was pretty funny and very polite. He took us to our first winery and there we tasted 6-8 red and white wines...it was alot considering we hadn't even had lunch yet! Next we went to knotting hill and tasted 6 more wines before a light lunch of cold meats, kangaroo, salads and bush tucker haha (bush tomato relish is nice!). We visited more wineries still, including my favourite...the grove where they let us try liquers and ports and made us cocktail shots! Then there was the chocolate factory, the cheese factory then finally the duckstein brewery where dorky got is first taste of german beer...i even drank some! That night, after the tour we headed into town for dinner. We dined on marron, risotto and steak...yum!!! The very next morning we cooked breakfast and ate it on the verandah and watched the waves =) We also made the journey to Berry Farm, which was very country-like, to buy ports for my mum and we also stayed for scones, jam and cream! For the rest of the afternoon we were at the beach watching the famous MR waves, which were cool because they rolled in at different directions and they even clashed into each other! we watched surfers for a while and also visited the MR river mouth, which was pretty nice too. Next day, it was our last for the trip, which meant home time =( But we decided to take the scenic route back and stopped by Dunsborough, Busselton and Bunbury for lunch at a random cafe. It was such a wonderful trip with you, one that I'll always remember, so thankyou and love you!!
Hehe, anyway on the last night of April, the whole gang got together for a reunion dinner at Lackers Grill! The menu looked good, with steaks, burgers and best of all, ribs! I couldn't resist the honey bbq baby back ribs and dorky got the rib eye =) Whilst waiting for our food we mingled and chatted like we used to..it was really nice to have everyone together! The food was awesome and I vowed to go back to lackers again one day...anyone want to join? hehe! After dinner we all went to utopia for more chatting and even met Sing along the way...a bit random though ahah. Fun and satisfying night, ,so thanks to tina for organising =D we really should do it more often =)
Dorky and me have been going on little food adventures lately, think he's getting more and more hungry, because our serves are getting bigger each time! We went for lobster yee mee at singapore hawkers and omg it's really good! you should all try it...the golden king prawns were good too! And just last night dorky and me went to the fish and chip shop at southlands and ordered plenty for just 2 people. We drove to heathcote and munched on the best valued fish and chips, squid rings, pineapple fritters, crab sticks, mushy peas and curry sauce ever! Are we pigs or what? =( Oh well, we both live for food!
Think that's it for now...catching up with friends and food (again) at the end of this week...hopefully it should be good!
Still need to do that photo entry!
