I assume most of the people around me or know me well, would have got the memo that my parents and younger sister are in town. Yes, town as in Sydney! They will be here for two weeks, I'm one of the main reasons they are here but they are also here to attend my cousin's wedding.Anyway, they arrived on Monday, visited them(they are not staying at were I am staying at the moment, but I think will be here next week). Anyway, The first reaction most of them gave me was that my skin got darker and my eyes got smaller. Seriously, eyes got smaller. Maybe because I've been gaining some weight that my cheeks start to puff up, making my eyes smaller.
On Monday, we had a dinner with my uncle and aunt, with my cousins and their cousins. Apparently, the world is just too small, my cousin's cousin(my uncle's nephew) and his wife and I take the same bus to the city every weekday. I know, what a small world. When I saw them, I was like, what the heck, this world is too small. And since then we do talk on the bus occasionally.
And on Tuesday, went to Fitness First, got really eager to sign up for a gym, and wah-lah, I'm now a member of Fitness First and have been doing some training already. Trying to bulk up a little, increase muscle mass, get toned, and lose weight, maintain healthy and so on.... And so far, the gym training has been awesome. I even have personal training hours with my personal trainer, Rafael. I hope to get in shape(not round) and maintain that.
Anyway, on Thursday after gym session, I met up with my parents in the city as it was late night shopping as well. But we didnt really shop much as most of it was done before I met them up. And sadly, even though I have my mum - my credit card - here, I didnt buy anything. :(
My aunt, grandma, sister, dad, and cousin ' Jess were there...
But we did have a really awesome dinner at Hurricane - one of the best Ribs you'll ever eat - Its a really famous restaurant for its Pork Ribs and to show you how famous it is, we had to wait about an hour to get a 7 seater(split into two tables due to the long wait). Even at the menu, it did state that a long queue is always expected. We went to the one in Darling Harbour and not the one in Bondi. And my my my, it was one heck of an awesome dinner in a while...
Didnt had time to take a picture of the full ribs as people were just diving in for them... Just so yummy (oh, we even had lamb)
Don't mind those bibs, well, it has lotsa sauce, I guess they give bibs just incase people stain their clothes.
I thought it is a waste to blacken the scenery with a flash... (the background is some of the buildings of Sydney from Darling Harbour at night)
The "kids" table.. And we had more food there.
So after the dinner, we head separate ways. Up north and down south.
