Welcome Mrs.Winter...NOT!

The weather's been pretty horrible. In Auckland nowadays, you've got 2 choices.

a-Wet and humid day or
b-Dry and effin' cold day (usually with VERY strong wind)

Either way, forget about turning to your destination (i.e parties, dinner, movies) looking fab.

It's the holidays now, and instead of going off on a trip with friends, I'm stuck here in Auckie, either catching some much needed sleep, watching my fave TV shows (I've decided. SUNDAY is the hottest nite now. Starting with the Simpsons, then My Name is Earl then CSI then Jericho. WOOT!), or working.

In between that routine, I eat lotsa chocs, drink lotsa mochachinnos and watch DVDs.

I'm planning to have a DVD library. I've bought 8 so far in a matter of...less than 3 weeks. Damn JBHifi... I figure, DVDs are much lighter to bring back home than books. Hehe.

So it was a relief when Ginny suggested dinner at her place. A break from the usual stuff. Menu? Steamboat. Oh YUM! So good on a cold night...Brrrr...



Then on Saturday, Yohei decided to have lunch on his birthday (followed by partayyyy, but I had to work). I was looking forward for that plate of fried crabs I was eyeing on my last visit, but alas, it wasn't a crowd favourite. It's been taken off the menu. Tis sad.

And we forgot to order ice-cream balls. Ohhhh double sadness..... Nasib baik Yohei bayar.

New section of me blog. Toilet review! Idea taken from Aut's student magazine, and since I go into lotsa public toilet (for erm touch-ups), I've decided to occassionally review 'em.

First up,

The Ascott, Auckland



Someone's friend was staying at the ever exclusive hotel, and I went into it's lobby restroom. Well, not actually in the lobby area. The restrooms are located near the conference room, I think, and you gotta go down a flight of stairs. It's a bit hidden.

As expected, nicely designed. Very clean. Water taps are way cool. But thing is, the taps are too wide, and too near the bowl rim. Which equates to...wet sink counter.

From the outside Ascott looks so posh, I half expected someone to open the toilet door for me, and hand me towels to wipe my hands dry.

Last Sunday my mom turned 57. How time flies....HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA!!Love you lots and lots!
