The jukebox plays my song:volare {gitane/spanish}gypsy kings
So I thought after the mouthwatering desert I had at Lindt cafe the other day, I figured out it was the time to stop my unbelievebly bad diet on chocolates and all sorts of candy and sweets -junk food, period. But alas, it seems to be the case that if I get a small taste of chocolate, I automatically crave for more like I am right now. Must resist Sabrina! As a result of my endless food craving, I decided to lunch at 'Pancakes at the Rocks' with Wendy and Jenny with wishful thinking about the Devil's Delight that they have at that place. But before any of the pancakes and pizza and plenty gulpings of cold water, I headed off sightseeing with Wendy, roaming around QVB to drooling over David Jones' bakery and sweet store to looking for possums at Hyde Park to walking in the rain under a small red umbrella to meet Jenny at Circular Quay for lunch at The Rocks. If only Wendy was a guy and then it would have been very romantic! Hahaha!! =P
I had not visited Hyde Park in a long time, even though I pass it every week to go to the City State Library to study. And it was just so wonderful, walking under the canopy of the glistening, green trees whilst chatting away with Wendy. And I found myself snacking away on toasted marshmallows and chocolate hearts Wendy had bought earlier. ><
Whilst trying to make one marshmallow last a long time in order to prevent my gulping down of the whole packet, we tried to find the possum that lives in this supposed tree that Wendy adores and sees everytime she comes to Hyde Park. But clearly, the possum does not seem to like the smell of toasted marshmallows or chocolates (unlike dear sabii here) and so we did not get to see a glance of it.
But then again, I am glad for unlike Wendy, my heart does not tingle from the sight of animals unless it's a tingle that makes me shiver with fear. Unfortunately, I am not much of an animal fan all thanks to the haunting memory of the big golden cat that scratched me when I was a little girl back in my preschool days. =[ But Wendy insisted that this possum was very cute and if i had gotten the chance to see it, it would make my heart melt. lol! *raised eyebrows* I'm not too sure about that hypothesis because I seem to scream and run away from anything that's furry and moves instantaneously. ><" But due to my very big pride, you will find me constantly sitting rigid and still when I am near an animal, for example, sweating with fear but yet still sitting like a statue whilst patting my cousin's white maltese even though I must say, it is quite cute. =p note to animal lovers: please don't hate me.
Whilst looking for the beloved possum, I found myself starring at this charismatic businessman who was sitting on a bench and eating lunch by himself. This businessman must have been really special because for the next few minutes or so, we found ourselves discussing about this man with snippets going like this:
Wendy: I like the way he chews his sandwich. It's very manly.
Sabii: I feel sorry for him.
Wendy: Why??
Sabii: He's eating lunch alone and looks so solemn and melancholy.
Wendy: Melancholy's sexy.
Sabii: EEH??
Wendy: His thick lips are sexy.
Sabii: EEH??
Wendy:...
Sabii: I wonder what he's eating...
Wendy: Oh! I bought these chocolates this morning. Want one?
What do you think I replied? =.=
It’s all about the food.
And was I very glad as 1:30pm rolled by because that meant it was time to head off to meet Jenny for lunch and find a place to huddle for warmth as we got sprayed by the cold water fountain and drizzled on by the rain. But funny enough, Wendy and I loved it because we both love cloudy, grey days. Why? Cos it’s the best time to eat ice cream on! Hahaha! =P Well, that’s my belief. So walking down to Circular Quay, we met up with Jenny who pulled us into a trio and made us skip happily all the way upto the rocks. As we were heading to the rocks, I found a red telephone booth. You know, one of those telephone booths that you see Superman change into…Superman?? And it got me so excited because you rarely see a red telephone booth and I wondered why I had never saw one before when I’ve been to the Rocks so many times?? Being once and I think I still am, a Superman fan, I dragged Wendy and Jenny to hop into the booth with me and pretend we were about to transform into super duper ladies, with pictures to prove but horribly embarrassing. lol. It would be awesome fun to be a superhero (for a day or two) don’t you think?
cotton candy = l♥ve.
