...I continue to have a tenuous grasp on time management and juggling my responsibilities. Though in my defense I was quite sick from the time of my last posting- that week was basically a wash. Monday sick leave, Tuesday work where started to kind of already feel shitty then, but I dragged myself to work on Wednesday because I was stubborn and wanted to finish a translation. Ended up leaving after less than three hours and spent the rest of the day rolling around my apartment and feeling sorry for myself. Ma did drop by to give me home-made (!) chicken soup and lime + honey to make soothing juice, though. Thursday I called in sick again and went to the hospital for a check-up to find out what was up with my body trying to make life hell for me-- since apparently coughing like it was going out of style and having a fucked voice wasn't bad enough (not like I actually need to use my voice for my job or anything), well! My body decided early that week that it wasn't going to accept most of what I tried to introduce as food to it. In retrospect, probably about 85% of my feeling like crap at work, especially as I was back on Friday again, was due to MY INTENSE FEELINGS OF HUNGER. The end diagnosis ended up being ~acute bronchitis with a side helping of gastro-intestinal fuckery~. But I did finally get around to finding out my blood-group after 22 years of life: I AM A+! Something which was somehow intensely amusing to me. BRB looking at those blood-group personality test thingies now.

I was really nervous about this sickness not being over and done with before my BKK trip that was from last Friday until this Tuesday (especially the food thing, because damn if that would've screwed everything beautiful about BKK time!), but PRAISE THE DEITIES it was all okay. I still maintain the fact that our office is a giant teeming petri-dish for bacteria and this company is absolutely horrible if you want to leave work early if you feel like shit or are actualfax sick. SO MUCH HASSLE INVOLVED, IT IS NO WONDER I WASN'T SICK BEFORE. This was actually my first legit sickness in about 3 years, iirc.

I still feel the vestiges of a cough lurking in my throat right now-- it has reached that insanely irritating stage where you feel like you constantly need to clear your throat every 20 seconds, and you just know that every one around you is secretly hating you because you sound disgusting and you feel disgusting and ughhhhhh.

ALSO THERE ARE ANTS IN MY ROOM AGAIN. WHAT ARE THEY DOING THERE FML AND FUCK THIS STUPID APARTMENT.

Moaaar posts to come (BKK recap! TEH DRAMAZ AT WORK! etc!), I just had to at least get this off my chest lol.

And because I would do anything for dearest Carmen, it would be awesome if you all could just click this link and vote for bifi!

Thanks to what I figure is the swirling morass of germs I call my office, I ended up sick for most of the weekend. Delightful hacking cough, headache and wooziness, the works. I actually went to bed at 10.30PM on Saturday and woke up at 8AM the next morning, which is just all kinds of disturbing. Felt well enough on Sunday for a movie with the ladies, but couldn't be arsed to go to work today so I figured I'd call sick for once. First time in nearly 4 months of working here, so even if they suspect this is less than honest, I doubt I'd get any flack for it. Though have totally learned something of vital importance for next time. DEAR SELF, REMEMBER TO CALL IN SICK THE DAY OF WORK, NOT SUNDAY NOON BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON YOU THINK "GIVING ADVANCE NOTICE" IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD. Took Ma, D. and I. going "how stupid are you??" for this to finally sink in, but ah well.

Have spent this day reading far too much fic and actually more than half-heartedly cleaned my apartment! Still doesn't change the fact that I really don't like it here all that much any more. So glad it's just me in here and I will never have so show any one the premises XD.

SOME TV THOUGHTS/SQUEE/RAMBLING NOW.

Community S2x05
( Ice-cream is everywhere, but never on your thighs )

Supernatural S6x05
( How many t's are there in Pattins-- )

The Vampire Diaries S2x06
( I should be having vampire burnout, but apparently it hasn't set in yet )

Dexter S5x05
( Julia Stiles will always be Kat in Ten Things I Hate About You to me )

...and heyyy, that was more blather than I thought I had in me. Huh.

PS coughing so hard you give yourself headaches sucks. But then I look at my new CPine icons and I feel slightly better. HOW CAN THIS SHOOT NOT IMPROVE ONE'S LIFE. Can't get over that first pic, hello wallpaper at work! There better be some way for me to get my hands on this magazine here *plots*

Current Music: David Gray- Please Forgive Me

DEAR IMMUNE SYSTEM, I would like you to stop right there and not even think about starting to fail on me. The raspy cough that is beginning to get more intense as the hours go on, the weird way I seem to be aching everywhere, the delicate beginnings of a headache and the surprising lack of appetite? Kindly fuck off and die. I have already taken two Vitamin C tablets today, I am guzzling enough water and will be bundling up like woah when I head out for dinner with Carmen and her visiting sister, so THAT WILL BE THAT. Ugh, cold weather sickness woes, DNW!

Today has not been all that good of a day so far, so I really hope dinner at the Shanghai Tan will lift things up a bit. Thought I'd have a long-overdue nice phonecall with my Dad again, but that turned sour real quick. It's my fault for forgetting the key rule when Talking To Dad About University/My Future: LIE. LIE LIKE THE DICKENS. It's apparently useless trying to explain that given the unknown timespan getting all my paperwork processed will take, I haven't actually sent out any job applications yet. All the agencies and what-not right now are only looking for positions to start Jan or early Feb, and that is a time I know for sure I won't be done yet (even in the best case scenario when I pass ABWL). But of course, all this reads as excuses to him, and me not holding up my end of the apparent bargain we eked out in the summer. Thus, he was also not all that happy with my plan to come back home for a month in mid Feb, and well. Oh man. I know he only means well, and has my best interests at heart, but the way he says it never fails to rankle or reduce me to ridiculous tears because it always sounds like he is disappointed and insinuating things about my failure/idiocy/naivete/whathaveyou. Which is at least somewhat dealable over the phone, but hah, there have been many awkward and super snot-filled bawlfests in person in the past.

But, nothing I can do I guess. Will continue to try and at least get my CV and cover letters translated, my application papers scanned in and such this month, and I'll just start sending off things in the beginning of January then. It's times like these where I intensely wish that I could just say FUCK IT and go back to Bangkok, but even super-whiny self-pity party queen me knows that it's a stupid idea given the pittance I would earn. If only if only. I guess this is one of the things I at least enjoy about this half-life you live in university: You have all this time, and you can sometimes hid from decisions behind it, but eventually the clock does run out. I know that immediate Masters programs are out of the question for me, both due to intense personal disdain for the theoretical/dry curriculum in Vienna and parental no-nos-- but the idea of postponing it all some more did have its moment of temptation.

ON TUESDAY:
-Watched (500)Days of Summer with

cheshire_tabby! It was wonderful and exceedingly charming and just a movie that was made with such care and love, though you really were in it just preemptively feeling sorry for JGL's character already. But if you were to get your heart broken to smithereens by someone, I guess Zooey Deschanel would be a worthy candidate. HER EYES ARE SO UNREAL AND GORGEOUS, HOLY CRAP. And JGL does "head over heels in glorious and all-encompassing love" so damn well, I actually felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable staring directly at his face sometimes. THIS GUYYYYY. The music was also a delight, and Olga I most def want to borrow the OST from you sometimes! PS. I STILL HAVEN'T DECIDED ON WHICH RINGTONE I WANNNNT :O

ON WEDNESDAY:
-Watched the first three episodes of season 9 of Scrubs. I must admit-- it ain't that bad! Nothing can measure up to Scrubs back in its heyday of awesome, but I actually like the new characters, though I still have difficulties remembering their names (Number one/Drew and Angry RA are my two favorites so far though)
-Distracted myself from everything ever (I AM RUNNING OUT OF FANFIC TO READ NOOOOOO)
-Received

quirkytaverna's AWESOME, AWESOME Christmas card ♥ ♥! Thank you so much~~ It is simply adorable, I love the über-Australian X'mas on the beach motif :DD

-Was debilitated by the most overwhelming cramps I have ever experienced in my 21 years of life. Seriously, I had taken two painkillers which are normally more than enough, but didn't do jack shit this time round. I was actually pale in the face, felt nauseous, dizzy and my entire lower back and my lower abdomen were hurting like hell. Didn't know if I needed to throw up or not, and was considering spending the evening sitting in the bathroom with my back to the (glorious) heater and deciding whether or not crying would be a good idea, when Sabrina came back and proceeded to have what sounded like a very intense phone conversation in her room, with foot-stomping and yelling, so I dragged myself over to Carmen's place instead. Probably alarmed her a bit with my insistence of staying seated on the floor of her bathroom, clutching her god-send water bottle and trying not to moan in pain at random intervals. But it helped, and eventually, after about an hour and after a lot of water and tea I felt well enough to head back to my own place. Jeebus christ, I sure as hell hope that this won't start to be a usual occurrence! DNW to be utterly fucked up over this every damn month, ughhhhh. /womanly woes

ON THURSDAY/AFTER I WAKE UP AGAIN:
-I MUST GET STARTED WITH ABWL PRACTICE. OH MY FUCKING GOD SELF YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO START SINCE MONDAY, GET WITH IT!!!
-Get mail (+presents) started for people and ready to send off (or at least a first batch)! Have already laid out all potential postcards that were carefully hoarded in Copenhagen and collected over the years... and wow that was an exercise that shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Shows how ingrained my pack-rat mentality is that it took me at least multiple attempts to put a travel location card in the "to-send" pile. I mean, I KNOW I do not need at least 3 different motifs for each city I've been in, but tell that to my inner-rabid collector.

OH AND EVERYONE!, if you are not already, this is me telling you to go check out all the goodness that is being posted over at

yuletart right now! I can't wait to see when mine is gonna get posted, but until that happens, there are other super cool artworks and handicrafts being posted three times a day! LIKE THIS FUN STAR TREK ART. Ahhh, so cute!!

Current Music: God is an Astronaut- Darkfall

First, I am mugged by deadlines and stress. Then I spend the majority of Wednesday and Thursday feeling sore, sick and generally So Not Fine At All that it feels as if my brain decided to go on holiday and leave a warm and mushy sponge behind. And now I find out that DHL is fucking around with my Thai Visa form that Ma sent since last week (so they tell me they've been here twice, but where were my notifications? And why is the DHL office so damn far away? What should I travel to Simmering/Bleibtreustraße for?? :///) and new deadlines rear their head. Oh and I am apparently already in the double digits of my monthly €. FFFFFF WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MONTH. June is supposed to be full of sun! Buying fresh fruit and eating berries all the time!

But talking about things that have been tiny sprinkles of awesome though-- I finally managed to upload my FB Roma roma roma album! Expect a condensed selection to hit LJ soon (along with the backlogged Germany pics and uh, damn I probably have quite the backlog eh??). Carmen and I watched My Bloody Valentine 3D and managed not to actually get sick from watching a 3D horror movie in our less than optimal health! MMMH BIG SCREEN JENSEN ACKLES. The movie itself was totally hilarious (there sure were a lot of chicks cackling madly throughout the film lolol Austro-SPN fen??), though I admit to closing my eyes at certain scenes. LIKE THE DRYER CORPSE, OLGA YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN RIGHT DDD: And for being my ~first ever~ 3D movie, it was pretty damn fun, even if I thought the blurriness at times was due to having to wear my 3D-glasses on top of my normal glasses, but uh, it's the ramifications of the technology at the moment, I guess? *SHRUGS*

Tomorrow we will be going to a Thai food/culture festival that is currently being held at the AAKH until the 9th! I totally would have missed it if my uni errands hadn't made me go past the Campus and hear the lilting sound of someone actually speaking in Thai over the speakers. THEY HAVE DELISH THAI DESSERTS ♥ And I shouldn't be spending money, especially since I'm going to be in Thailand in less than a month already (EEEEEEEEE!!), but still! I can eat toast for the next few days or something. Or use the credit card. Ummm *shifty eyes of low impulse control*

Current Music: David Cook- Anodyne

Throughout the day, I am either constantly sounding like a chain-smoking, seventy year-old grandma OR a eleven year old boy whose voice just broke. And my nose is congested like all fuck, which means that breathing(through my mouth) is one hell of a pleasure right now. My throat feels like raw hamburger, and I really liked the one moment last night where I was coughing so hard I thought for a moment that I'd be throwing up on my bed. GOOD TIMES. At least Sabrina is out at the moment so I can fully give in to all my disgusting throat-clearing choking noises. I clearly need to go rob a pharmacy tomorrow, my cough syrup clearly isn't cutting it anymore.

Which is why I basically spent today watching some more Mad Men and hacking a lung up in tandem with the guys on screen some more. Joan Collins is one hell of a minx and god do I ever still want to do Don Draper. Or rather, Jon Hamm dressed up like Draper, because the character is sometimes a giant effed-up douche, so yeah.

TOMORROW I WILL BE GOOD AND ANSWER STUFF I GUESS (RIN YOU ARE ALIVE AHHH I ♥MISSED♥ YOU AND LOL I THOUGHT MY INBOX WAS ON THE FRITZ man when you say you 'catch up', you sure as hell mean it eh? ILU BB~~~)

Current Music: Cut Copy- Out There on the Ice

I'M BAAAaaaAAaaaAAAAAaCKkkKK <-- that formatting choice is actually a somewhat accurate depiction of how much my voice is currently cracking. Dad managed to gift me with a final farewell-gift besides the admittedly super awesome mounds of DRIED DELICIOUS FRUIT-- his goddamn cough and sore throat. Managed to get some last minute meds before I got onto the plane, but still basically am coughing and hacking and wheezing my way through life at the moment. UGHHHH. But it is basically a fitting sickness to have given the current depressing and GRAYGRAYGRAAAAY weather that Vienna is all about at the moment. I WAS IN THE TROPICS BARELY A DAY A GO :(( DO WANT THAT BACK INSTEAD OF THIS. Also managed to share a seat-row with this amazing douche, who snitted at me for telling him to switch off his damn phone as the plane was fricken half in the air already and he was still yammering away. I mean, I realize that one switched on plane won't plunge us all into death and disaster, but they're the rules for a reason! And his snooty 'well did YOU switch off your phone' 'as a matter of fact I did. Because that's what the signs say. You know, the RULES.' 'well isn't that NICE of you' 'I know, right? (mental shaz theater: GO SHOVE AN IN-FLIGHT MAG UP YOUR ASS YOU DIIICK)' and etc. I thankfully was asleep for most of the 12 hour flight, but every time I woke up and stared at Asshole Dude, I entertained myself by trying to come up with a creative inner monologue that was cursing him out. He also had this creepy tendency to read whatever he was reading out loud and in this quick whisper-murmer thing. Ugh.

But! Got here early this morning, lazed around a bit, actually unpacked on the first day(!!), managed to unlock my Austrian SIM card again (lol), discovered I had not paid the internet for this month, watched some Mad Men to distract me from my stupidity and make the day past faster. IT IS A FAB SHOW, JESUS CHRIST ~*JON HAMM*~ DO ME PLZ ♥. And everybody is smoking and coughing all the damn time at Sterling Cooper, which made me feel right at home coughing along with the actors on screen |Db After that I finally restocked on groceries and hung out with Carmen a bit and basically presented her with a mini fashion show of all the schwag I brought this trip and her Mitbringsel. IT WAS STILL ALL UNDER 22kgs, I am shocked and in awe~~

OOH IT IS ELEVEN PM/FIVE AM ALREADY I THINK SLEEP IS CALLINGggggggggggggggggg

GOODBYE fake Masern symptoms! What a lucky thing (Ma called from BKK to confirm that I AM vaccinated after all, woo!), given that there is an apparent other Masern outbreak in our dorm... ISN'T THIS HOW RESIDENT EVIL BEGINS OR SOMETHING? DD:

SO YOU SEEM TO BE SETTLING IN NICELY, ongoing hacking cough and constant and irritating pressure in my ears! Why of course cracking my jaw and sundry other methods to pop my ears every few seconds is my idea of a good time! Especially at night, when I feel like I can't really breathe when I cough lying down! The way you make my voice all croaky is also SO. MUCH. FUN :D!!

OH AND OF COURSE I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOU, ever present mountain of uni work! Why yes, I AM aware that I am less than three weeks away from being in Bangkok and that I am supposed to have all my shit together by then! And it's oh so wonderful that I am supposed to go up against STEP5 Teacher's seemingly impossible to reach standards and not even have the Unterlagen I need explained to me and my group in class, because of 'scheduling problems'. It's oh-so-lucky that we are the only group affected by this though, my gosh! And wow, I always love working in a virtual black-hole because we cannot reach the Teacher for her Sprechstunde! THIS IS ONLY DECIDING MY FUTURE UNI-CAREER AFTER ALL (seriously, if I can't hack STEP5, I might as well just drop PKW and do something else, for all the good missing ANOTHER YEAR will do me :|)

FOOTBALL:

CROATIA VS D'LAND: WHAT THE BLEEDING FUCK HAPPENED. The Croatians play a fucking violent game, the Germans were lackluster and holy hell was the Ref BIASED (he called what, every THIRD FOUL??). WHAT THE FUCK SCHWEINI AND THAT RED CARD WHYYY he was so obv yanked back by the other player before. AAAARGH. Poldi still managed to score a goal, but TWAS TOO LITTLE TOO LATE. Tiny Croatian player 14 is obv. unhinged. We were also theorizing that there is something not quite kosher about the Croatian coach. I BET HE MADE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL and before games the Croatians sacrifice kittens and shit. *SRS BIZNESS NODS*

AUSTRIA VS POLAND: I HEREBY CALL A KOPFBALLVERBOT FOR THE AUSTRIANS godddd how can we constantly fail at that?? And holy fucking bazillion missed goal chances, BATMAN! AT LEAST VAKIC OR WHATEVER HIS NAME IS (OLD DUDE) SCORED THAT ELEVEN METER SHOT IN THE 93rd MINUTE O GODDDD if that didn't go in!! 1:1 could've looked worse, but also A HELL OF A LOT BETTER :|

SHAZ' HEALTH:

FUCKING SUCKS. Cough still lodged halfway in throat and I feel faintly headachey(sometimes I cough so hard my head throbs LOLOL OWW) and feverish. And have to get up at 7AM for Step5 tomorrow. FUCKKKKKKK (i seriously hope this is not Masern DDDDD:)

...SEEMS LIKE I REALLY AM SICK AFTER ALL. Fuck, here's to hoping this is just the hacking-cough-and-raspy-throat-from-hell and not the harbinger of something worse (MANDELENTZÜNDUNG??? MASERN??). Am sitting here half-heartedly reading through the last few working papers for the Business English II exam tomorrow morning-- I must say that today's was indeed a fucking stroll in the park. Besides the usual vocab shit, he gave us the choice to summarize and discuss one of two papers: 1)HOW TO WRITE A COVER LETTER AND RESUME (srsly) and 2)Capitalism and Poverty. Waaaanna guess which text about all of the thirty-odd people in the room chose? Lol. Am fervently hoping for a similar gap in text quality for our final exam tomorrow as well~

Still have more important uni stuff to do, but I am happy with myself for getting a number of pesky personal errands finally done today. WOO SMALL VICTORIES~

The weather still sucks though with its SUDDEN DOWNPOUR!!1 that has been happening the last few days :/

But looking at this hilarious Iron Man comic (SO CUTE) and THIS RDJ picspam (THE QUOTES!) and speaking of picspams of hot dudes THIS James Marsden picspam made me feel a bit better. And okay, have SOME MORE Iron Man awesomeness :D BRIGHTENS UP YOUR LIFE MANNN (and make you want to eat cheeseburgers :>)

There are Seriously Important Things I should be doing, but all I manage to get done are fun yet bullshitty things like going to watch football and going for delicious dinnertiiiime. DAMMIT SELF!

I have a Business English I exam in twelve hours! And the Business English II one the next day! Thankfully the class is such a damn cakewalk that I can just skim the articles we have to read and still ace it, but still. Should use this time to get other shit done arrrrrgh. ALSO I feel like I am coming down with something. Or at least like something has crawled into my throat to DIE. Is this time-delayed sickness from the impromptu shower at the EM-watching?? :(

BUT regardless, here some links that have been aiding my quest in being a horrible university student during EXAM CRUNCH TIME:

VIDS and such:
__'Mano a Mano' ...OR 'two straight dudes competing for a job as gay phone sex operators'! SO DIRTY (obvs.) AND HILARIOUS :D

__The entire movie 'Mysterious Skin' on Youtube ...GAAAAH finally I get to watch this! And it was as good and engrossing as everybody said it was and as hard to watch at times as well (...the scenes with Coach (especially as child!Neil's and child!Brian's actors were so adorable. Neil in NYC...). The link has a good summary posted too, so check it out and watch the movie! Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance is simply stunning (I was just transfixed by his every scene appearance... boy sure grew up nice after Third Rock From the Sun!) and I am now seriously curious about how his role in Brick was.

__'Little Sparrow (studio version)' ...David Cook of American Idol S7 fame has retroactively fascinated me. Have spent far too much time checking out the studio versions of all his songs on AI and besides the aforementioned beautiful cover of the Dolly Parton song, 'Always Be My Baby' is one of my favorites, too. Such a creative reinterpretation of a Mariah Carey song~ Ooh or even 'Dare you to Move' or the 'Hero' duet he had with David Archuleta... Cook just has this really great voice and I am hereby a fully converted fan and thus totally psyched that he ended up winning lol (Jason WAS cute, but David Cook has that (AND NO DREADLOCKS!!) too AND a way better voice. Dude can siiiiing *_*bb).

__'Show me Love (Clex vid)' ...AND ONCE MORE FOR NOSTALGIAAAAA~~ O Smallville, how I used to love you! This vid takes a song choice that I was doubting (TaTU??) and makes it work. Hot hot clips of Clark and Lex in this, too. ACH THE HOOYAY of the olden days!

ANOTHER SUMMARY OF THIS MONTH SO FAR:

FIRSTLY I was swamped by the invasion of Austro-friends.

THEN I was overcome by laziness and shite internet, and still with the Austro-friends (oh the myriad things we did! Meeting Patty! Good times~)

AFTER WHICH we went to Chiang Mai and there was net. But then the net was used for uni srs bizness and checking studivz (the pinnacle of communication I could force myself to have) AND there were moar shenanigans so I didnt have all to much time anyways.

NOW I am in BKK alone since Friday, but have been down with FEVER and HEARTBURNish symptoms since Saturday! There were late-night trips to the doctor! I am taking multiple pills! Some of which I apparently had an allergic reaction to (thankfully mild and only appearing in my legs itching like burning and a rash)! I have been sleeping for about 15 hours a day!

OH and Dad and Sue got married yesterday and we had to get up at 5AM to get ready for that. Was okay though and it was a nice ceremony (all thai style in the thai house complex in Bang Sai. lots of praying and kneeling and bazillions of tiny ceremonies, poor Dad's knees XD). Spent a lot of time small-talking with all the farang/european guests of Dad and Sue's who all got SO FUCKING WASTED LATER ON back at the reception party at home, it was v. hilarious XDD. Dad says they all drank about 220 cans of Heineken as a group of less than 20 people (the thais didnt drink at all lol)... those crazy farang chefs, eh? XDD There was offkey singing and bullshitting and cases of formerly very uptight good sirs suddenly slurring their words and reverting back to the good ol' country boy dialect, heee :DD

More gossip re:invasion of Austro-friends to be typed up next time! TOODLES and hope you all are well! God I am so behind on like basically, THE WORLD :(

I seem to have caught the common cold over these last few days. What irony indeed, to return to Europe from THE TROPICS, with a cold. Boo, hiss. Must've been a seemless transition, from crying over my STEP3 failure and having a stuffed nose from that to actually having a stuffed nose 24-7 and a hacking cough hooray.
And as an added bonus, my period! Nothing better than flying for 10 hours with that, nosiree... >_>;;

But focussing on happier thoughts(?), will be picked up by Ma later and hopefully spend today and tomorrow before I fly back(*SOB*) gleefully shopping and getting to watch Naresuan 2 and Music and Lyrics... At least there were OYSTERS promised for dinner, too :D

AND on that note of awesome food: That dinner I had with Dad at the "Rib Room & Bar" at the Landmark hotel? FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC. The whole she-bang, from going up the elevator to the 31st(!! can you imagine the VIEW? Sukhumvit Street at night is glorious) floor, sitting in the waiting area/bar, where you could see the bustle in the kitchen through the 'kitchen-cam' on TVs, to the lovely and stylish decor(tones of red, modern lines yet old-skool comfort materials mhh leather) and the food. Oh, the food.
Had imported US sea scallops on a beetroot salad with beurre blanc sauce as an appetizer, Dad got a dozen french fin de claire Oysters(such delicate taste!) and we shared a Caesar salad. The beetroot tasted so sweet with the scallops, it was such a delight to eat~
The real kicker had to be the steak though-- we had the Australian grain-fed for 240 days 250g beef, a tenderloin for dad and a simply glorious rib-eye for me. It was charcoal-roasted, medium and it basically melted in my mouth with every bite, it was that delicious. Ahh, my mouth waters even just thinking about it...
As an added bonus our dessert was apparently on the house, as Dad knows the Chef there(this really fun french guy called Phillip)-- Poire Helene for Dad and a strawberry mixture of great joy for me, and we(well basically Dad, I just tagged along) got a tour of the kitchen, too :D ...damn, these are the moments where I thank the high heavens that Dad does what he does ♥
(...as for how much this cost? Well let's say that we basically ate a Nintendo DS with memory, adapter and 20 games included, and this without the dessert XDD)

Ooh and I think I'm getting called for lunch, mmmh lamb with fried egg~
