Day 2 - MORE wedding frenzy

Today, i woke up to this, tho not exactly scenic but it made me happy for some unknown reason.. something abt the crispness of the skanky city air, the cloudy morning sunshine sieving through the high rises, the pigeon hole that is my apartment or the chirpings of trams n traffic.. it all feels very.. ermm.. Manhattan..

it's official.. that I’m just so in lurve with this city, when Dr. K (aka james bond.. our nick for k coz he once told us about his surgeon fantasy of driving to work in a convertible with the james bond theme blasting on the stereo) and I decided to stop for breakky from some little shops enroute to D’s place. Just some innocuous looking suburban café and bar.. I walked in and they had these sitting on the counter just fresh out of the oven.. and illy coffee too!!!

this is not your mass-produced run of the mill SARA LEE stuff, this is gourmet pumpkin, spinach and pine nuts.. it was still WARM!!! serendipitous indeed!! man the victorians are certainly spoilt.. i was deliriously happy that i skipped (on the inside) all the way to D's apartment down the road..

Spent the rest of the day planning the obstacle course ritual for the groom when he comes to pick up the bride tomorrow with the other bridesmaid TY (D's Sis).. We also bought a new bedding set for the new couple.. and some red roses to set the mood ;) after all that stressful shopping we rewarded ourselves with some yummy coffee from this quaint café Leroy Espresso off Barkley St in St Kilda.. man, one just can’t get a bad coffee anywhere!!! (unlike perth where it's everywhere.. *lament*)..

As a perfect finish to the day is the BIG BOWL of Ramen.. mmm.. think I died and gone to heaven.. (tho the japanese probably sneeze at this maccas equivalent quality.. it was good enough for me).. you just can’t get ramen like this in perth, and if anyone says wagamama I’ll just might resort to some violence..

Then we had a last minute logistics rehearsal with D’s friend E who’ll be overseeing the set up at the wedding. I was soooo impressed with the level of organization, clarity and efficiency I desperately wanted her to be my friend.. in hindsight.. guess i should hold off on the desperation may be start with moving to melb first..

By the time I collapsed on my bed and looked over the clock and saw 3.00 am I let out a little ‘f@#$’ under my breath.. so much for beauty sleep.. guess will have to just rely on my natural charms or my sparkling personality tomorrow..
