a wicked weekend.

in many more ways than one.

Clement and Lisa arrived from Perth on Sunday morning! Brekkie at Babka was how we started the glorious day followed by a walk in the city before heading to Regent Theatre for Wicked the Musical.

I really must say that Wicked the Musical was truly truly WICKED!!! And I'm so so happy to share this wicked experience with my favourite married couple of all time.

It is so amazing that when we are all reunited (any one of us high school mafia girl gang), it is as if nothing has changed since we were 13. It is also quite curious how we have a million and one things to talk about and how adventures just seem to cross our paths when we're together. Not to mention oodles and oodles of uncontrollable laughter!!

In this visit, we have so far accumulated 2 adventures (2 in 4 days, I'd say that's pretty good!); The Chronicles of the Blackberry and The Mystery of the Missing Roti Cheese.

Due to limited time, I will only blog about The Mystery of the Missing Roti Cheese but please feel free to ask me to tell you The Chronicles of the Blackberry when we do meet.=)


Ann, We-Ki, Clem, Lis and I were all comfortable seated at Bismi awaiting our meal. Our order (we always go overboard but who's counting):

1 Roti Cheese
1 Roti Kothu
2 Potato Masala
1 Lamb Briyani
1 Chicken Briyani
1 Briyani with Fried Chicken on the side
1 Roti Susu
3 Tek Tarik
1 Hot Milo
1 Mango Lassi


As the food arrived one by one, we all began to Dig In. Well.... almost all, Ann's Roti Cheese kinda never arrived. We-Ki's Roti Kothu however, arrived in abundance! One big plate of Roti accompanied with one HUGE bowl of lamb mince. "Roti... Kothu" announced the waiter ceremoniously.

"Hey, that's my Roti Cheese!" said Ann delightedly.

We-Ki: "No it's not. It's Roti Kothu. One Set. See? Roti and the Lamb."

Ann: Oh okay.. WOW. your one is the MOST worth it. Look at the lambbbb guys! SO MUCH LAMB!!! it's worth its weight in gold this lamb! So cheapPPPP. only 8.90 for one set. good choice we-ki!

As the clock slowly ticked the minutes away, we all concluded that they have definitely forgotten Ann's Roti Cheese. Poor Ann has been eating potato masala all night. We thought we'll just cancel the order la since so late already. So We-Ki went to the waiter, "We didn't get our roti cheese so it's okay we're cancelling the order,"

"you no get roti cheese?"

"no. we didn't get it"

"no roti cheese??"

"nope! so we're cancelling"

"....hokay..." (looks confused)

After a momentary silence, Lisa said, "Hahaha, hey guys, won't it be funny if We-Ki has been eating Ann's Roti Cheese all along?? hHAHAHA"

..................................................................................................................................

Ann: OH MY GOODNESS THAT'S MY ROTI CHEESE YOU'VE BEEN EATING LA YOU GOONDU!!!!!

We-Ki frantically reaches out for the menu and scanned "Roti Kothu".

Roti Kothu-minced lamb with bits of roti prata mix.

Ann in a deadly whisper, "Give me what's left of my Roti Cheese.... it's all hard already>=["

So now, everytime Ann is mean to We-Ki and We-Ki is nasty back, Ann says, "Well you ate my Roti Cheese"

This event has left Lis, Clem and I hooting with laughter for 3 days and counting.

It's a pretty good immunity. I'd say it was worth it! Don't you think?=p

my blue stockings.

I knew the day was going to go downhill the second i heard my stockings rip. ( and no we-ki, it was not because i had too much lunch)

*MEMO TO SELF: do NOT swivel around in chair at work when feeling fidgety because stockings might get caught on splinters under table and rip.

With a panic-stricken face and a rip the size of a large maple leave on my thigh, i mumbled some vague "err... hole, stocking, shops, back in 5" to those within a 1000cm radius. Ran out to the shops on Smith Street and ducked into the first stockings-selling store i saw. I think I took a grand total of 12.43 seconds before holding up a pair of black stockings, similiar to the ones i just ripped. or so I thought...

After paying for it, I went to the dressing room to change into my new stockings and would you believe it (because i couldn't), they were BLUE! not the cool psychadelic lightning blue. It was mouldy seaweed and a little green-tinged type blue.=( oh joy...

Stopped by Safeway after work to pick up some olive oil and as I was heading home, the plastic bag holding the bottle of oil gave way. Then what happened you say? yup you guessed it, olive oil all over my brand new seaweed stockings.

Darn those accursed blue stockings!!!

hercules and i.

I have just turned 23 recently and I'm still waiting for that Phenomenal Click when I realise that I'm no longer a child but a Real Adult (contrary to the popular belief in my family that I'm a child trapped in a grown-up's body) The click is 2 years late and it ain't looking promising this year.

In fact if anything, it lies in the opposite direction because shrieking with delight whilst watching Hercules with Sarah-Ann, Sue-Lee and Bryan just doesn't bode well for an adult who is trying to prove herself worthy of the title.

But Hercules ROCKS! Sarahhhhhhhh... Beauty and the Beast is next yah? followed by the Little Mermaid. WEEEEEE! Honestly, with these fantabulous Disney cartoons waiting to be watched, growing up will just have to wait.
