sun-day

yes, it's literally a sun-day. after a week and a half long of gloomy weather, the sun is finally out on again.

i'm not at Camberwell this week because my whole body is aching from yesterday's ski trip. i can't remember the last time since i've felt this tired and sore. but it was FUN! well worth the pain and blue-blacks. i'll write more about that once the picture's been uploaded (i left the photography to the boys).

despite being very sleepy and tired, i forced myself to wake at 9.30am.  didn't really have much appetite but felt that i needed a lot fibre (ehem, so you know what i mean). hence i had a banana smoothie. easy. frozen banana, 1 cup soymilk, 1 cup yoghurt, some honey, pinch of cinnamon, some flaxseeds, give them a good blend and voila!

b: ana goes banana smoothie (named after my friend ana. just cuz her name rhymes with banana).

i did some house chores then headed to Lygon Street (Melbourne's Lt Italy) to get some bread from Baker's Delight. i managed to buy a blackberry and raspberry marmalade from the local fine food grocer and a skinny capp from the French patisserie at the end of Lygon. made a mental note to myself to go back again one day, this time i'll take photos of it too.

then i headed to the city,or rather my head dragged my body to the city because my body wants to recuperate on bed all day, but my head knows that i need to get some stuff done. i cannot cannot resist walking into Tokuya everytime i'm in the city. then i cannot cannot resist buying something to add to my pantry. i don't know what the moral of the story is but a. i do think i deserve a VIP card from them b. i realised i am behaving more and more like my mum, God Bless her soul. like her, i noticed myself more willing to spend on pretty japanese dishware and kitchen utensils than on a lipgloss. sigh. i don't know if that's a good thing but i shall find a balance.

lunch: miso soup and steamed sweet potato

dessert: rose tea and a mandarin
