Mood Report for Today - Very HAPPY

After so many days of stress, I finally managed to de-stress. Most people de-stress either by eating or shopping. I did both today! After waking up early at a digustingly early time for grocery shopping, we went back to the house to dump all the goods and went to West End for lunch. Lunch was at a restaurant selling both chinese and japanese food and it's buffet style! We ate till very full and satisfied but I couldn't help worrying about something. It seems like my eating capacity had become smaller. In the past, this amount of food wouldn't have made me full at all. Sigh... Below is a photo of our round one food.




The plate on the right is mine. After this plate, I only ate one more sushi, another helping of fried rice, chawamushi (japanese steam egg), a green bean pastry, a small piece of green tea jelly, a small cup of jasmine tea and a couple of things which I had no idea what they really are.




Me and my round two food.




After the buffet, we went to the city for some shopping. I bought a new jacket and immediately wore it. This photo was taken in South Bank at 7.15pm. Looks like it's already 9+pm right? It really gets dark very early here. But the night scene at South Bank is really nice and quite romantic. Too bad I don't have a beau to stroll the sidewalks with me. Haha...






Water fountains at South Bank. Sometimes, I'm really confused by the water restrictions in Brisbane. Since there's a drought, shouldn't they stop the water fountains?






But then I'm glad they didn't as I get to benefit from it. The water fountains are quite pretty actually but my camera is not powerful enough to capture the beauty. The night scene mode in my camera is such a fraud!


I couldn't resist taking a photo of this locker. Initially, I thought South Bank is a combination of Kallang river and Vivo city as it reminds me of these places. When I saw this row of lockers, I realised that South Bank is quite like Singapore's Clarke Quay. There's the river, the pubs, the ang mohs and of course, the locker. I was quite familiar with this locker during my initial clubbing years at Clarke Quay (or was it Boat Quay)? Back in Singapore, we thought $2 for one use of the locker was expensive? Guess what? This locker here cost AUD$3 for 3 hours and AUD$6 for 6 hours. Siao!


My dinner for the night - ice cream! After the buffet lunch, we were too full to have dinner. However, I got hungry again at around 8pm and the ice cream looks so nice. That was a stupid decision anyway as I almost became frozen after savouring it. Anyway, bad luck struck again while I was eating my ice cream. A bird flew by and decided to bomb my ice cream. I was so angry that I nearly let off all my '@#$%*#$!' in front of my housemates. In fact, I couldn't control myself and let off a bit of the more minor ones. As the ice cream was not cheap and there was still a lot left, I scooped off the part with the bird dropping and continue eating. If I was back in Singapore, I would have just threw the whole thing away but here, I learnt not to be so wasteful.
