It's Now March 2012

Can't believe time flies that fast, March, 2012!
Maybe when I blinked, it will be April already!

First week of March, let's see.....
I had a good start, especially this Saturday, March 3rd.
Had an all-you-can-eat Indonesian beef ribs at a soft opening of an Indonesian restaurant.
I went there with my brother and my housemate. I am sure I ate the least rice, but that doesn't mean that I was actually satisfied, I wanted more but perhaps everyone else had too much rice and they did not want another serving of ribs, too bad. If only I had no shame, I would have ordered another serving, haha...

Then we went to Glen Ferrie to Crampler store, it is a bag's brand fyi.
Each of us bought ONE! But I had the best deal, 70% OFF! From $80 into $24, how good is that?
Doesn't mean that it is the best one, I had my eye on one bag but it will rip a $100 bill from my pocket and that's a big No-No.

After having enough fun in the store, we went to City, each of us shopped around a bit then sat down in Max Brenner's Chocolate Melbourne Central to wait for Church mass at 6pm. Believe me, I was really disappointed with the service there. I had to wait for more than 30 minutes for my drinks to be served, which I didn't mind actually as I had 2 hours to spare... BUT! It took them more than half an hour to serve a glass of water! Might take them longer but one of my friend just went to the counter and asked for the water himself. THEN! (Yup, it's not finished) My croissant came just few minutes after I ordered. I told the waitress that I wanted my croissant to come together with the drinks, in which I have to repeat to this waitress that seemed like the supervisor. Yet she replied, "Oh, I can take it back now and bring it later if you want, but it will be the same." with such unpleasant way of talking. I went speechless for a few seconds. A bit of secret, she is Indonesian, almost all of the staffs working there at that time are Indonesian, and I decided not to argue with this stupid waitress and just accepted my croissant that time, but don't expect me to come back with a lot of orders! I might be only ordering just ONE thing if my friends insist to go there, which I'd rather not of course.

After church, we headed to this new ramen store called "Kokoro", which means heart, in Lonsdale Street near the corner of Russel Street. First impression, everyone there is Japanese, so I expected good ramen from the kitchen. It was a bit pricey and the soup was overpowered by the stock, I can't say I didn't enjoy it but it was not that good either as it left me with unpleasant sensation and I had to buy a milk tea to cure it.

My brother said that he was tired, so I headed home ahead with him and took the 9.02 train. I was hoping that the rain, or rather drizzle, would stop when we reached the station. It turned out that I was wrong, it was still drizzles but it became worse. I was too lazy to open my umbrella and just walk in the rain. And stupid me now I paid the price by having a cold.

Now it's already Sunday evening, I am expecting good things from the coming week.
Well, fingers crossed on that!
