there is probably too much to update in one post, but no matter, its a lazy sunday afternoon and i have all the time in the world.
sort of anyway, i have a test tomorrow
but as usual this looks FAR more appealing than gingival swellings and something-omas.
dont get me wrong, i like dentistry
especially the clinical aspects,
its the route learning and memorisation work that drives me nutso. DRY DRY DRY.
so anyway, we had our first runway show!
it was at Lavish Waterwark on 22nd Aug
many thanks to those who came down to support us
it was such an adrenaline rush, getting models out on cue in their right outfits,
while touching up hair and make up
it was MAD behind stage, but so much fun.
everyone involved, from models to hair and makeup to stylist to camera crew were awesome, big big thanks for making the show great!
and of course, Hen Lau, owner of Sleep Couture
Congrats dear!
<3
Kat and Kevin from Karsahair salon did the most amazing hair and makeup
look closely at the feathers on the eyelids
spotted ones! and the winged eyeshadow!
how cool is that!
inspired to follow suite for Dental Ball coming up soon

went to Il Bacaro for lunch a few days after
i recently picked up a copy of the Age Good Food Guide and Gourmet Travellers 2010 restaurant guide
and I M OBSESSED.
to the point where i know restaurant phone numbers, opening times, ratings and addresses off by heart. yikes.
Bri has called me 'crazy food guide lady' but haha, its so worth it.
you know how 'rich and skinny' is socially accepted to be the ideal
i seem to be going towards 'fat and poor' instead.
...
Anyway, Il Bacaro, one chef's hat if you were wondering
was gooooooooooddd
mains were slightly hit and miss, and the butter for my bread was underwhelming
but the entree and dessert made up for it.
might be my favourite Italian restaurant in Melbourne
sorry for the blurry photographs btw, my camera is on its last legs
Pacific bay oysters and cucumber granita
wagyu carpaccio YUM. must get this!
Prawn, pea and saffron risotto
hazelnut and chocolate pudding, and behind is a lavender pannacotta with honeycomb.
I love lavender anything. so this panna cotta was delicious, and the homemade honeycomb suited the creamy texture right down to a T, but everyone else described it as 'opening your mouth and walking into a toilet'. hmm. maybe for lavender lovers only?
Partial as i am to lavender, this dessert was THE BOMB. lightly press the sugar sprinkled outsides and the pudding erupts, spilling out warm decadent molten chocolate, with whole bits of hazelnuts. Have that with the marscapone ice cream, and then have a taste of the kumquat jam to finish off. What a work of contrasts. HEAVEN.
k i m off for lunch now, be back later to continue updating.
p.s WAGAMAMA FAILS. i dont understand why it is so popular. its BAD.
