Evening tea time

On Thursday evening,

Yes... after kids went to bed, haha^^

My two good friends came over my place.

It was lovely time I had a chat with a couple of tea, lychee nuts, dry raspberries and chocolates.

In fact, our backgrounds are completely different.

We're from Japan, Argentina, Latvia, but we're same kinds of women.

I can tell them anything which comes up my mind.

Indeed !

This is " The friendship ", isn't it?

We often meet during the daytime or the night.

When is a next meeting?

We're going to eat out as dinner at Sushi Studio next week.

I can't wait !!!

I wanna say thanks to my hubby for letting me out^^

Lovely feeling,

Custom number plate

Everyone is different, has different personality, preference even in a family.
     
I love observing its difference what is like.

Some people show their own originality in front of people and some of them don't want.

It's the personality..

So,

About a car,

Here in Australia we can customize a number plate.

｢myPlates 」

http://www.myplates.com.au/index.html#home

I can design by myself to show my name or a favorite word, number etc.... and I can choose a color as well.

I found a funny one yesterday.

It was written " UGG-128 ".

I enjoyed guessing about the reason why " Ugg " on the plate.

( Sorry... it's so hard to see it because of an evening photo.)

Ugg boots-lovers ?

Involved person?

I have no idea, but I like guessing for fun^^

Lovely character,

Cup cake, Cheese cake and Samurai cake ?

I did bake 24 cupcakes to his celebration at school.

After all, I woke up at 5:30 in that morning and made them.

I'm so pleased that one of my son's friends came to me and said " it was a best cupcake !" after school.

Wow ! Thanks !

That saying made me relieved and of course happy...^^

I've got a energy to try a second cake..

As you know, I baked cupcakes in the morning and after school I did another one for a family party.

He requested me a cheese cake with a whipped cream on the top.

So I fulfilled his hopes^^

All right, I'm ready to try a third one. haha...

I'm gonna make it " Samurai cake "next weekend.

Lovely treat,

Vegetable soup

I've been busy today...

Physically and mentally.

I have to think about educational progress for my boys and to prepare several things for success.

But it's funny...

My stomach works usually, it means it becomes empty easily.

I can afford to feed it, though I have a lots of things to do^^;

For that reason,

I rush into my favorite cafe around 2:00pm and then had a vegetable soup for my lunch quickly.

It was beauuuuuuuuutiful !!!

Sorry...this picture is mostly gone. he-he ^^;

BTW,

Oh noooo--- !

It's already 11:00 pm... I have to bake 24 cup cakes for my son's bd till tomorrow morning.


Lovely busyness,

Shopping and walking

 It has stopped raining, we've got a sun.

Finally ! Hooray !

I went shopping as I planned to buy my son's bd present.

He got a Lego block of " Ninjago Dragon " and two spin toys of  "Bayblade " what he wanted.

Lucky a birthday boy ^^

He'll be also pleased to be celebrated at his coming bd party.

BTW,

I really like going out.

I think it's completely a sickness. haha...

On the way going home, I felt like taking a walk than straight to home.

Yes, I'm sick mum^^;

Kindly my husband dropped me off at a nice place.

Sorry boys ...

I've got a free time.

So I walked to organic shops and bought some fruits, lettuce, shallots.

And then,

I found a new homewares shop.

In fact it meant it was new for only me because it was a first visit..

Oh my god !!!

That was a really beautiful shop how I like. 

What a shame that I didn't know it opened last Nov.

Anyway, I could pop in whenever from now on ^^

I'm so happy to get some place mats and some mussel decorations.

Lovely coincidence,

Color assimilation

I love to look around colorful things.

People, clothes, animals, sky, leaves, coffee ... everything !

I find myself watching them naturally.

Whenever I choose my clothes to wear, my priority is color coordinate.

Though I'm a black-lover.haha^^;

If I could feel  "Gorgeous!!! " about someone's choice of color.

It makes my mind so happy.

Look at them !

Here is a playground at restaurant.

Can you find one creature exists there? ^^

 I should have put on blue pants for him.

 And Green one is at the zoo.

 All green ----- !

What a ｆunny & an amazing assimilation !

Life is always discovery.

Lovely adventure,

Favorite texture

There are a lot of free news papers here.

Weekly, fortnightly, monthly, per a couple of months ...

It means I could practice English with them.

I don't wanna feel pressure for learning it, just prefer to learn it enjoying^^

So,

I found a lovely page in the free paper " Northside Courier " today.

I like that texture, design, atmosphere, power ...

Mmmmmm,

Comfy !!!

Feeling makes me happy.

To be brilliant,

Australian Double decker bus

I might meet and get in " Double decker bus " here by the end of this year.

Yesterday's The Daily Telegraph says that it's about to start trialing.

What a exciting news !!!

We talked with customers about this article yesterday.

The buses had finished running in 1980s in Sydney.

Of course I've never seen it because I wasn't be here then.

I've just seen authentic ones in London few years ago.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing them soooooon !!!

Moist moist day...

For couple of days it has been rainy.

Please stop raining !!!

I'm full...haha

It's hard to drop off and pick up kids at school in the rain.

Hmmmm

What am I up to today?

Even so, I think I'll go out for searching a brilliant thing ^^

The reason is very simple that I love to go out than stay at home.

But I really miss a sunny day.

Lovely moist,

I'd love to organize

I like a party and I'm happy to do it as organizer, guest, supervisor, attendant ...whatever.

In fact,

I'm planning my first son's birthday party..

The theme is " Samurai Soccer Party " this year.

Last year we invited his whole class 20 students to the aquarium.

It was so much fun though I only got exhausted. haha ...

Wattleseed Herbal Tea

I regularly drink a herbal tea for health.

Especially I love a wattleseed tea among many sorts of native herbal teas.

Although there are as many opinions (preference) as there are people^^

I knew it would work for the low glycemic control because I heard from my friend.

But I have no idea what else.

So I searched for a wattleseed using the internet.

Wow !!!

The Wikipedia says that "Wattleseed is a term used to describe the edible seeds from around 120 species of Australian Acacia were traditionally used as food by Australian Aborigines.
Acacia seed flour has recently gained popularity in Australia due to its high nutritional content, hardiness, availability, and low toxicity".

I see !

That's why I haven't got any trouble in my body since I started having 4 months ago.



My favorite combination is " Wattleseed barley&cinnamon tea " with a teaspoon of unheated honey " Tea Tree "

Respectable Aborigines,

Lovely native products,

Magazine with tasty coffee

Today my day has been back to normal.

I dropped off my son at school and took a walk with a little one.

Usually on Mon I can use my own time flexibly.

Housekeeping, having a coffee, reading a book, playing with my second son ... etc

So I went to my favorite cafe " The Espresso room "for just relax.

The flat white was so yummy !!!

I checked some articles in some newspapers and read a  magazine "Madison".

I found a feature of " Project Runway Australia ".

Yes,

It's a Runway show tonight^^

Who's gonna be eliminated ----?

No Johnny and No Dylan, please !!!

Lovely kicking off,

Japan won the Women's Football World Cup

It was a fantastic game.

Japan came from behind twice to win the Women's World Cup for the first time, beating the United States 3-1 in a penalty shoot-out.

Japan has got the thriller winner as a world champion !!!

Wow !








Japanese women showed their beautiful game for people all over the world. 

I'm very proud of their victory.

Actually I missed that moment because I woke up at 7:00 in this morning.

it was a bit late ...haha

But I could see their delight in just a minute after the match.

I was tearing while I watched it on TV.

It's a definitely brilliant thing.

Thanks !!! I've got a energy to do my best as well ^^

Lovely champion,

Karaoke in Sydney

What is a " Karaoke "?

It's a type of entertainment in which a customer can sing along with recorded music video using a microphone.

Apparently It's not so common here.

But everyone knows about "Karaoke".

So I did a first try today.

In fact I haven't been to anywhere in Sydney before.
 
Amazing !!!

It's like a real Japan.

They have a mostly same design, system.

I think they showed us a good cost performance.

Because we stayed for 2 hours and enjoyed singing with some 3 drinks, beer, edamame, 3 ice creams.

It cost juts $ 40.

Hehe ...

BTW,

Look at them !

My boys were playing thier own time with cool toy-cars even in the dark^^

Lovely family weekend,

My first son’s 7th bd is coming soon.

He’s funny because he has been thinking of his bd present most of everyday since last Christmas^^

Too excited !!!

So I went to some toy shops for check.

Wow ---- ! 

Here are few examples among many.

Interestingly, he took photos using my I-phone when he found them.

Times are changing.

What’s gonna happen to the technology in his future?

I wonder if I could catch up.

Cheers ! To his growth,
