Khawa – soft shell crab Originally uploaded by mirvettium Khawa defined the phrase of being completely tucked away as its location was streets away from Parramatta’s bustling Church Street. I was expecting it to be yet another Japanese/Korean restaurant with the emphasis being on the former, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it did… Continue reading Khawa

Packing
Packing Originally uploaded by mirvettium To the casual viewer and audience of 1 disinterested dog, I’ve finished my packing for my trip to KL. Except, like every single other long-ish trip involving enforced sitting, I’m in a bit of a dilemma on what to bring to read. My shortlist is usually 10 books rather than… Continue reading Packing
To the zoo
Wandered off to the Zoo with T and for some crazy reason all the animals were out and about in a crazy active way. It might be something to do with the cooler weather, but I have never seen them so alive and excited. We ended up stuck to the new Wild Asia section, watching… Continue reading To the zoo
Wool, wool, fibrious wool.
DSC_9206.jpg Originally uploaded by mirvettium On a complete tangent, I would never have imagined Maggie Gyllenhaal as a lingerie model, but I guess Agent Provacateaur proves me wrong with their 50’s/Secretary inspired catalogue. Some very pretty corsets and things, but omg…90 pounds for this?. Give me some ribbons and O ring and I can open… Continue reading Wool, wool, fibrious wool.
It’s Saturday and flowers make me happy

APEC came and went, and I even missed the half heartedmooning attempt during the long weekend. In any case, the extra day was absorbed fairly quickly into the rest of the weekend and I can hardly believe that it’s the… Continue reading It’s Saturday and flowers make me happy
Independence Day
Today is Indonesia’s Independence Day. Kinda ironic that I now have approval to be independent from it.
Harry Potter day
Harry Potter day Originally uploaded by mirvettium Also known as my weekend forecast. I missed the entire business of lining up at 9.01 on the dot to pick up my copy like a modern day Oliver Twist. Still surpised to see how many people casually walked through Dymocks, picked up a copy and went straight… Continue reading Harry Potter day
Cough
To whoever sneezed or coughed at me this week. I hate you. I hate you even more if I lose my tastebud tomorrow.
A full weekend
It’s easy to forget how gorgeous Sydney is on a sunny Winter’s day. Wondered off to join other SPB do the Coogee to Maroubra walk on Saturday and rediscovered my love for my 60mm lens all over again. Had afternoon tea at the Victoria Room this afternoon. Still think QVB is more atmospheric, and I… Continue reading A full weekend
When in Rome
Graffiti like a(n ancient) Roman! Some gems are: VIII.1 (above a bench outside the Marine Gate); 1751: If anyone sits here, let him read this first of all: if anyone wants a screw, he should look for Attice; she costs 4 sestertii VIII.2 (in the basilica); 1882: The one who buggers a fire burns his… Continue reading When in Rome
