started the day with a TINY plate of bread/egg/bacon which mama cooked, so by the time we picked up cc monic and went to the city, i was already hungry again as usual..
oh, i know why i was so happy... i got BOOKS!! hehehehe *easy to please*
first went to kino and got the nodame character book!!
which was way better than i expected!! if you reverse the cover (which i realised the next day) there's a poster of milch which you can photocopy 400% to make it into a height measuring thing. and i'll tell you wat's inside:list of characters (a lot!! more than a hundred)
pictures of nodame's dresses that her mum made
nodame's room before chiaki cleaned it - with a diagram pointing out all the weird/gross things
diagram of who plays what in the orchestra
orchestral instruments and info about them
list of classical pieces from the manga
timeline of classical composers
interview with tomoko ninomiya (the author)
uraken menu (mine's dad's chinese restaurant which also serves club sandwich and coffee)
chiaki's recipe
character poll (amazingly mine's dad was #3!)
map of paris and places they went to in the comic - some in colour
mini comics - one in full colour
puri gorota special
french lesson - including weird ones which nodame learnt like "call the police!" and "i'm a victim of domestic rape" which she recited while in a resturant with chiaki
nodame and chiaki's one day
character rough sketches
full colour illustration gallery
and if you take off the cover, it has a pattern of nodame's mongoose outfit and puri gorota on the book.
so good ne! hehe recommend people to go and buy it! won't be disappointed.
also got the february issue of CREA which is a celeb dog issue, so it's got like accesories (expensive ones that is) for dogs, make overs, cute pictures of dogs, celebrities and their dogs - including the guy from hana yori dango - and i realised that the last dog issue of crea i got was from last year's february issue too...
den had lunch at a cafe in the strand. i had this smoked salmon penne thing with a really smelly cheese (cc monic said that smelly means real. unlike kraft.) that was yum, but the drink was the best! it was a frappe which had in it two scoops of ice cream, espresso and vanilla!! yumo~!!!
while the others were in sportsgirl, went to borders next door and got count of monte cristo!!!! finally... but the book was so thick o_O it'll take me like half a year probably to finish reading it...
yep, the thickness is the same as the length of my finger.after in a super happy mood, continued to MYER and looked at KIT: and cc oni ended up getting this peachy/salmon (sorta fluoro looking after a while) nail polish and minty lip balm/gloss.
went back to cc monic's and then ate at wok station the thai restaurant in pyrmont which we always pass and has this picture of a shirtless guy on its front wall..
we went in... looking at the fun interior, wall with squares of mirrors, unstable looking plastic chairs, funky pink chopsticks... and den got to the weird/funny stuff: the menu and the writing and the wall..
if you've read cc oni's blog, u probably know wat i'm talking about, but for those who haven't, i'll type them here:
tom yum goong - thai food without this dish is like Sydney without the Opera House.
emerald fried rice - if you are sick of Chinese fried rice, must try this (special fried rice with green chilli paste).
kaa-naa - selected wonderful Chinese broc with thai assuring tasty, ordered by OZ.
pad-pak (mix-veg) - boring dishes but very tasty but famously easy to cook but not easy to make nice.
a bit strange ei, but the food tasted nice! especially the 'binary chicken' which is chicken cooked in two steps.. probably i'm the only one who really liked it cos i like super sweet stuff, but to me the sweetness is just right (sweetness of coconut milk).
and on the wall, it says:
no bullshitting no gossiping no backstabbing no smoking areawat de.
anyways, then went home after and cleaned the gp's. and watched more 'so you think you can dance' (SYTYCD).
