Last weekend, Mish, Jess and I were supposed to go to Tarts Cafe on Lake Street but Mish was struck down by the dreaded food poisoning bug so we weren't able to go.

So... being curious and incredibly excited by the Tarts Cafe website, Quan and I ventured to Tarts for a little lunch/coffee today.

My thoughts? I thought it was a bit pricey for what it was - you get a tiny slice of Quiche and Salad for about $13-$15 and you can get a little Patty and Salad for about $15-$17.

Anyways, we opted for a little Lemon Tart, Quiche, and being the boy that he is , Quan picked out the most sickening looking cupcake - a vanilla cupcake frosted with pink icing, nerds, and chico babies :S Enjoy ;)

.. Apologies again for the lacklustre posting of late - work has been hectic as always and not so fun lately, and life has taken a bit of a slippery slope but we'll deal with that away from the public domain of blogging eh ;)

Anyways, Quan came back for the weekend (and is back out tomorrow morning). Yesterday, we were dying for some good sushi - especially Quan since there is no sushi in Kalgoorlie - and so we discovered Edo Shiki in the City. Well, I lie a little - I have been there in the past and didnt find it so good, but we decided to give it a shot again since I wanted some dimsum and he wanted some sushi.

All in all, I think the food is below average, if not average at best. I say that because the sushi was not cold, and the dimsum wasn't as warm/hot as it normally is. There wasn't much range in both the sushi and the dimsum , and the sushi was fairly dry and lacked flavour. The service was also questionable as we were greeted with a girl who obviously hated her job, and a waiter who didn't think to give us any chopstix to eat with.

However, in terms of kaiten sushi, I think it is reasonably priced, and I like that you can get the two (oddly matched) varieties in one place.

At night, we also headed out to Lanna Thai in Subi with Quan's family. I really enjoyed the tom kha soup, and found the rest of the food quite enjoyable although not amazing. The service was very patient with our millions of questions, although at one stage, the waiter took away ALL our cutlery before we had finished and we were left to ponder how to eat the rice. When I eventually did ask for new cutlery, he came back with one set for me and I politely asked if we could get a set for everyone and he looked completely puzzled as he noticed that NONE of us had cutlery. He must've had a pretty blur moment. The restaurant itself is quite thai styled with the traditional gold cutlery, buddha statues and lots of intricate carvings. Conclusion? An enjoyable thai restaurant tucked away from the busyness of mainstream Subi.

And today? I headed off to the WA Kung Fu Championships where Chinwoo did some amazing Wushu and Yaolin took out a bunch of medals.

Everyone did super well in keeping up their energies throughout the entire day, continuing if there was a stuff up, and getting fantastic high scores. Special mention to Small Alan for taking out "State Champion" and to Jason who was the day's overall highest scorer and winner of many medals. Great job guys!

Three seasons ago, we were stepping everywhere, getting called for obstruction and contact, and getting suspended for threatening to stab umpires (well... that's another story).

In three seasons, we've made the semi finals each time, only to lose and not be able to progress. But come this season, and we've made it to the grand final having beaten arch-nemesis evil people to get there... !

After a bit of a violent push and shove, we surged our way from even scores at half-time to beating top placed team 18-12 *woot*.

Unfortunately, I am in Kalgoorlie this weekend so won't be able to play in the grand final, but I'm sure our very highly analysed replacement WA will kickass anyways.

So Five Footers, as my director goes, think "Mugsy Bogues" and you're sure to win!

[ Our star shooters Jess (GS), Pete (GA), our awesome defenders Hong (GD), Thao (GK) and our important middle line me (WA), Will (C) and Taz (WD) ]

Taking a leaf out of Michelle's Blog:

Three things I would sell a limb for:

To be able to drink even one glass of alcohol without passing out (a necessity in the corporate world!)
To be an effective public speaker (damn that red face, girly high pitched voice and random hand movements)
To have more annual leave without having to sacrifice career development and salary

Three things I am eternally grateful for:

Family , friends and a great bf and their good health
A relatively smooth life so far
Living in Perth - I would never have had the same opportunities if my parents had decided to stay in Malaysia
