Dinner for four.
Mum took a day off and I made a roast dinner for my family all by myself. This was the first time I've ever cooked anything on such a scale and I'm pretty proud of myself. Heaps of things could've gone wrong in the kitchen but everything turned out as they should be. I made a simple chicken roast with stuffed celery, gravy with red wine,mash spuds and stuffed button mushrooms with minced pork.
Can you say YUMMYLICIOUS?

J'08 live concert
My older bro gave me two free tickets for a concert called J'08 live.Sounded really cool, like some big time concert but it was apparently a concert for the guiding association's jamboree and the tickets were worth 37 bucks each. Now, I wouldn't just go to any concert that was for a whole bunch of kids would I? The concert featured Evermore,Spacifix and Elemeno P so it was so worth going to! Evermore is the best band ever.Too bad they are only really famous in Nz and Au, because I believe that one day they're gonna take the world by storm. Well in my eyes anyway.This would've been my second time watching them live. SWEET AS.

Spacifix were really good as well and they totally kicked ass. Their music consist of a mixture of raggae,jazz and funk. Really unique and spunky group.Too bad we couldn't get up and jive to their music because we were sitting in the second floor. And elemeno P is a pop rock band, pretty cool band with a chick in it. Haha. Their lead singer sounded like he's been having the cold or something but hey! he stilled managed to rock the crowd.

It was pretty cool how both Esther and I had on the Indie chick outfits on because both of us didn't plan what we were going to wear at all.And Esther pointed out that I had on an evermore outfit. Hilarious but totally unplanned.But something like what a chick version of Dann would wear.
Pictures from Esther. :)

All the guides.
And so after the concert which ended at around 8.30, we decided to head to town for dinner .Don't you just love the daylight savings? Day light until 9ish. Passed by the good ol' souvlaki place and decided to eat there since Esther hasn't trade souvlaki yet. And as usual, i had the grilled lamb one. Souvlaki is Greek food by the way in case you were wondering.It was soo delicious but very messy. The portion was huge and it took us a long time to finish up.
mhmm...

After having dinner, we headed to Picasso aka. the bath room cafe for a drink. The serve yummy bubble tea there is huge ass portions. Kinda like the huge beer mugs that the germans use. A really cool place to go to when you've got nothing to do at night and if you wanna chill with friends. They open till about 2am in the morning. But then again, you wouldn't want to hang out that late in town because of all the crazy drunks out there.


Till next time!
