Zhivago



Double whammy! Two posts in one day! Hehe, that's what I call compensation. Ahaha, I'm such a suck up. Anyway, today I went to watch Doctor Zhivago the Musical starring the one and only Anthony Warlow!

To say it in one word? Unimaginable. It's so bloody brilliant, we had excellent seats, straight in the middle, and straight in the center. My Gosh, it was three hours of MIND BLOWING singing, acting and performing and it was my first time experiencing a musical/opera. So amazing.

SO THE SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE DAY:

  • Went to eat lunch, saw a sparrow about to eat at my left overs.
  • Jump around darling harbour and try to attract unnecessary attention.
  • Found an amazing T-Shirt Store.
  • Eat Reese's and Hersheys.
  • Watch an amazing production of Dr Zhivago.
  • Have coffee with Anthony Warlow at a cute cafe called "Bartino".
  • Stomp around Star City in boots.
  • Come home.






LOL YES. THAT IS ANTHONY WARLOW'S HEAD. AHAHA.

By the way, just for reference:

Happiness


HAPPY 800TH POST READERS! Yay! And it's also passed 2 years since the start of my original blog Pokemon Pushover. A lot seems to ensue in two years and I guess the product of it is a long lasting fun experience. I'd never actually picture myself blogging in the past, and now that I've gotten so far I guess it's a worth while experience!

Sorry I've left you all hanging and waiting in the dark, whilst my traffic was slowly getting dragged down by the beast known as laziness, but these past two weeks have been so exciting that I've basically had no time in my little life to blog anymore.



HERE I AM COMPENSATING. I'm going to see Dr Zhivago tomorrow in the city! I'm bringing my camera for some extraordinary snap shots tomorrow of the Sydney afternoon and also possibly a photo with Anthony Warlow himself. (FINGERS CROSSED) But certainly a myriad of possibilities shall arise soon enough.

Here is a Photoshoot I did with the lovely Drina and her friend Bonita, as a celebration for the two years of my blog. The "theme" was "Happiness", and I guess all these pictures symbolise that. I honestly can't look at any of the photos without having a giant grin slowly emerge from my mouth. I hope you all enjoy! And Happy 2nd Birthday Eugene and Yen! :-D


BY THE WAY. I'm hoping to do more food posts, with actual nice photos, and everything. Ahaha. I love the way how food is presented and everything, so look out for more food posts. What do you all think though..? Yay? Nay? Hehe.

Pizzas in the Mist



So around a week ago, it was Harrison's birthday so we went out to Pizzas in the Mist out at Robertson. For all you readers who don't know where Robertson is, colloquially known as Robbo, it's a small town out in the Southern Highlands about 40 minutes from Mittagong, a good 2 hours from Sydney CBD. If any of you are ever out here, I highly suggest you go to Pizzas in the Mist, they are god damn amazing.



To start off with we had just basic White bread dipped in Vinegar and Olive oil. Being Asian I had never ever tried this in my life, and Lily my Italian friend said the upside of being a "wog" is always having it. It was quite nice, the bread was home made and soft and the vinegar wasn't too overpowering with the olive oil.





Then our luscious mains:

From left to right:

Barbeque Chicken Pizza, Supreme and Robertson Supreme
We had 8 people and three pizzas and Ribs filled us all up. Serving sizes are huge, portions are generous and all around tasty.



The Supreme (Shown Above)
Amazing. Ingredients where fresh, and most where sourced locally when we asked the chef when he came out. Another benefit of living in the highlands is everything culinary wise is just so finger licking good! A lot of meat, and veges and a smack of flavour with every bite. Highly recommended.


Ribs (Shown Above)
These where god damn tasty! Too bad we only ordered one rack. The sauce was to die for. Usually the ribs we get from the local pizza place are all burnt and disgusting but these where amazing. The potato was melting in your mouth with the sour cream, and the ribs where just fall off the bone. These where amazing as well.


Robertson Supreme (Shown Above)
I didn't have a photo of this because everybody went for it. It was just like the supreme, filled with ingredients on top and with lots of potato! (spud pizza). I was a little bit hesistant when I saw peas on the top but after taking a bite, the flavours worked really well. It's a little on the filling side though, so I suggest you eat other things before overindulging on this one :-3


Barbeque Chicken (Shown Above)
This was my favorite. Their home made Barbeque Sauce just destroys Dominoes and other chain pizzas. This was amazing. It was just Chicken pieces after chicken, just all chicken and barbeque sauce. Amazing as hell, and all around the tastiest barbeque chicken pizza I have EVER tasted.


Overall, Pizzas in the Mist is a well worth it eat and is amazing in all aspects. The decor is simple yet elegant and the food is just amazing. If you're ever in Robertson make sure to duck in.
