Better give an update as to what I've been up to.
Well.. Will and I celebrated our 5 years on the 1 May... (actually we ended up properly celebrating on the 2nd of May) . We decided to make a nice night out since we were both super busy and stressed with work. I was so excited for this night. It would be the first time in a very long time that we would spend time with each other... just the 2 of us.
I couldn't wait to give Will his present. I had made him a photobook (I love my photobooks!) which contained photos of us and pretty much summarised our 5 years together. It was really nice making it. All the memories came flooding back. It was surreal, because to Will and I it only seemed only a year ago or so when we first got together. But yea... 5 years is becoming a long time... especially when your trying to make a concise photobook (a whole lot of photos to look and sift through). I couldn't believe how much we had changed. We DID look quite young in the beginning. Didn't realise what 5 years could do to you. LOL.
I also bought him Hugo Boss cuff links and a tie. It was pretty smart. I thought it would be nice to cover all bases in the present... the sentimental present, and then the present he would really want. = )
Will got me a new iPod!!! = D This was super duper coolness! Especially since my old iPod had officially died. It died in China, Will attempted to fix it when I returned and it died a second time! I love it! I've loaded all my China songs, all my china music video clips and photos! Its really nifty.
We then went to (A)Lure at the Burswood. It was a really nice place. The atmosphere was sheek and sophisticated. One word to describe it... cosmopolitian. When I made a booking I asked for a nice window seat, which was obliged. We were given the dark corner spot. I must admit that despite the privacy it could give... the table next to us was very close and initially there was a couple next to us. But the lady was getting cold so they moved... leaving the corner just for us two to enjoy the view which looked out into the Burswood pool. It looked like something you would see in a MTV pool party.
So yes... was very good. The service was very good too. The waitress brought over bread and olives and a small shooter-like glass of watermelon juice. It was such a nice thing to begin our experience there. I swear the bread which had a lot of seeds and nuts (just the way I like it) had some pastatio in it! Was sooo good. Will could even taste a little bit of mint in there! We ended up ordering Wagyu Beef Tataki for an entree, I had the lamb and Will went for the beef fillet. We then ended the meal with chocolate fondant. Was sooo good...
Wagyu Beef Tataki.
Rack of Amelia Lamb, caramelized tomato tart, roasted garlic, Persian feta.
Avon Valley Beef Fillet, grilled marron with soft herbs, creamed woodland mushroom.
Hot Valrhona Chocolate fondant, sorbet, soft caramel.
My mouth is drooling again from looking at the photos and the desciptions of the dishes... omg... *drool.*
Other than that, I have been busy stressing and procrastinating with assignments galore! I have completed and submitted my criminology and first advanced torts assignment on Friday the 9 May which was like... the best feeling ever. But now... I have to complete my next 2 assignments coming up. Employment law and advanced torts assignment 2. I also have an employment law tute to get done GRRRRRR.... Not only that I have found out that my employment law exam is the first Saturday of the exam period. Meaning the first Saturday after study week. *Stresss*Luckily for me, I have had sports this semester to keep me balanced. What started off with mixed soccer with the 3rd season of the Bananaroos, I have taken up basketball on tuesdays, netball sometimes on thursdays and then volleyball when I can get to it on Fridays! Unfortunately this Monday I injured my ankle... yes... the same ankle as always... so I've been out of action for this week. *sigh* But... I'm going to get back on that horse next week! = D its getting better now... just a bit tender in some places. I've also been invited to play soccer on Fridays in an all girls team organised by Mich, and a mixed netball team on tuesday nights organised by Julie. *Rolls eyes* I wanna play for all but I caaaaaan't!
So thats about it for now... until next time... say hi to your mom for me!
