little miss may

brought to you by lindt & waqu

Okay, I get the hint… It’s time to post!

Thanks misti, kyh and carcar for patiently waiting in line.

I must say I’ve had an interesting spring September. And in a few blinks of my two eyes, it’s already October.

Moz came a-visiting last weekend, and we beer-ed and dined at the Belgian Beer Cafe, catching up on our goings-on. I would’ve shared some photos of the absolutely delicious Tintin au Congo mussels, Belgian-style sausages and beer we had, but unfortunately my skills at the DSLR still sucked big time. My photos came out bleah, but I’m sure Moz will share his with you… when he gets around to doing it!

And for those in the know, Chen was in Oz too, except at the other end in Perth. We didn’t meet up, but it was really nice to know that she was in the same continent as I am for the last few days.

Now, on with the yummier show…

I had the day off yesterday to celebrate his birthday. We made a sinfully indulgent visit to the Lindt Chocolat Cafe after a long, hot walkabout in the city. That tall glass of iced dark chocolate was just what the doctor ordered - perfectly chilled to cool the tummy down. And what visit would be complete without trying out their rich, chocolate cakes? Mmmm… worth every bite. And lick.

Not two hours had passed and it was time for dinner. Well, it wasn’t because we were hungry after downing all that iced chocolate and cake, but reservations were for 6 p.m. and we didn’t want to miss out on some delicious modern Japanese dining at WAQU.

The 5-course dinner was fabulous. Every portion was just the right size, and the flavours were vastly different and interesting, from one dish to another. The star of the night, I have to say, was the beef tenderloin steak he had. Seared to just the right medium-rare level, and oh-so tender to the bite.

Mmmm. Heaven.

Happy birthday, hon.

    Gosh, I realised I was so near one of the Lindt Chocolate Cafés when I was in Sydney this Sep, but I didn’t realise back then. The chocolate drink looked great.

    Hi May,

    I came across you blog a while back. Been meaning to ask you some questions regarding the renewal for permanent visa in Australia. Correct me if i’m wrong, I understand that you didn’t fulfill the requirements for renewal for PR which was to stay in Aussie for a period of 2 years accumulatively out of the 5 years which is similar to mine as my PR visa is gonna end next year in April 2009 and i’ve only got i think 10 mths out of the five years required. Can i still apply for a renewal for PR by giving reasons such as I didnt managed to find a job there and thats why i decided to come back to KL to find work experience with a full intention of going back to Aussie to work again? What would be the procedures to renew it though if you don’t mind me asking? I’m so sorry for asking a lot of questions and being a stranger and all doesn’t help. Hope you can help. Thanks a lot!

    Shima
