Long Day

Left home around 11am and got back around 8pm (not that long for many who are apparently hardcore and stay out for days and days).

I enjoyed froyo with Laura and Caitlyn (the red velvet cake flavour still doesn't impress me), was a jerk to a really nice guy/internet friend, stifled my guilt/awkwardness with choc chip pancakes (I left a token quarter pancake on my plate because apparently that's what you're supposed to do?), walked around the city and tried on clothes for a couple of hours then met with Little Mishelle and Big Michelle for the Twilight Hawker food festival.

I read about it on The Food Pornographer blog. All her pictures always look really nice and I'm always impressed whenever Perth manages to pull off something half decent. As a result, I've been meaning to go. Things I was disappointed with:

1. The abundance of the colour brown.

2. The repetition of many food types. Murtabak, gozleme, pupusas, pancakes etc. Too many flatbreads.

3. The lack of any kind of cake stall/bake sale. What? I thought this was a food festival.

In any case, it was really nice to see the girls. Big Michelle is going to Malaysia in a few days (replace "loved" with "missed"):
