Each stage in life

Everyone has a different life.

Different colors !!!

All colors are beautiful !

Each lifestyle, thinking, personality...

I think especially a modern society respects the human rights of each and every person.

Everybody can go through he/her life how to make it.

So,

This is a just example,,,

New Wine Bar " VINO BRAVO "

He started a new wine bar " VINO BRAVO "in Nov.

In fact he used to work as lawyer in a law firm where my husband is working.

Monthly Free Paper " NORTH SIDE "

This bar in there

Interesting life, isn't it ?

Lawyer or owner ?

Which is the best way that he can enjoy ?

Hmmmm

I see ^^

I've never been there, but it's very near my place.

Just 2 min !

So,

I'll go and taste some lovely wines and dishes any time soon.

With who ?

hehe^^

Anyway,

Life is beautiful !!!


Lovely color,

Karate at beach !!!

The final karate has come this year again.

Nice contrast !!!

Beauuuutiful angle ^^

It's an annual event that the last karate is held in Balmoral beach.

Like a Christmas karate party ^^

Normally they practice inside the gym.

Like this

Well...

My first son started karate in May 2009 when he was 4 yrs and 10 mos.

And my little one just started in July 2011 when he was 3 yrs and 7 mos.

So, that event was third time for big boy and first time for small fighter^^

It was so much fun !

Ball game

After some games, we shared some afternoon tea.

I baked and brought chocolate muffins ...^^

And some parents brought some snacks for share.

A teacher " Jenny " prepared some fruits, lollies, juice and so on, well organized !!!

And,

The weather was perfect, thanks god !!!

Actually


Last year we've got a downpour of rain....

So,

We had to spend a special time in the gym same as usual.....><

But this year was good !


Sunny clear sky made all of us happy^^ !!! hehe

Can you see? They're running !

Of course I took away a usual FW coffee at a cafe nearby .

It was nice, though a price was a bit tourist price $3.5 ( normally $3.0 ).

For me as well ^^



Eventually 

We stayed there till 5:30 ( regularly a karate class is from 4:00-4:55 ).

Thank you for everything, Jenny !!!




Lovely closing karate,

Friends with my coffee

I'm having a large flat white at home.

With a fruits cake;)

Cake w FW which I made

Mmmm it's great!!!

I got it from my mum friend whose son is in the same class with my boy.

She baked it with her girl friend's recipe.

Something like an Europe flavor, hehe (^^)

Thanks, Leanne!

BTW,

I love an avocado dish for healthy.

In fact I have to eat more cholesterol-rich foods, because I have a problem of less cholesterol in my body.

But....

Unfortunately my family except for me doesn't like an avocado....

So

I only have that chance when I eat out.

At cafe,

I always order dishes with avocado!

I can show lots of pics w my friend avocado;)

Well,

How many times did I say " Avocado "? too many....^^;


Lovely health,

Lunch A

Lunch B

Lunch C ...nothing change? hehe^^

Japanese inspired Macarons cafe

Café Cre Asion
http://www.creasionmacaron.com/


Last Monday I went there with my friend Kayo-chan and my little one.

It is one of the latest cafes and macaroon shops around Sydney.

Actually,

The cafe's address says " Surry Hills "
which is called "Fashionable city " so I supposed that it was in the middle of Surry Hills.

But that's obviously located in the end of CBD Sydney.. haha...

And

It's situated along Alberta Street, a narrow narrow n a bit dark ... unfortunately feeling sad..

Good hiding place? Or desolate?

So I guess its business is gonna be hard if customers through word of mouth will have had enough.

Inside the cafe it has a nice atmosphere, feeling like Japan " Omotesando ".

They create a wide range of fusion-style macarons with unusual flavours – chai, Hoji tea, green tea, plum wine etc...

Beautiful !!!

I chose " Hoji tea sesame " and usual coffee Flat white.

Macaron cost was $2.7

The Macaroon had a gentle, soft and creamy taste....yummy ^^

It was relaxed time, sitting on a stylish low chair.

Interesting !!!

And I was impressed by charcoal blocks to purify the water.

Taste was nice and fresh.

Purified water

Lovely search for new cafe ^^
