Desserts:

Sheep’s yoghurt mousse

Great dessert! Love the raspberry and the crumbed to bits.



Since we were in the neighborhood, we decided to visit the streetwear warehouse sale at Brunswick Street which I saw advertised few days ago.

I don’t really a big fan of those streetwear brands like Stussy, Mooks, etc… but hubby is! We spent about 1 ½ hours in that warehouse and got ourselves a huge bargain for these… 7 pieces of clothes, 2 travel bags, 2 belts and 1 laptop case for less than $180!!! So... what do you think? =D





-----------------------------------------

2 weeks ago we visited the travel expo at the Melbourne Exhibition centre.

Europe is always the place that I wanted to visit so badly. People called Paris the “city of romance”; England, ancient and legendary cities; Milan, “world’s living art gallery” and high-end fashion; Holland, the remarkable Windmill Island and there are so many countries that full with their own attractions.

Well, the good news is hubby booked us a ticket to Europe next year in May! I am so excited about this trip and I am looking forward to. =) We’ve grabbed some brochures form the expo as you can see here



So, we will start working on our trip soon to decide how many countries to visit. Hmm… it seems like there are a lot of study to do here. Europe, I am coming to you! Till then…
