I also got to have it at my favourite diner in the world at the moment, Acme Bar & Coffee.
Decor is pitch perfect, food is amazing (certified by my ultra-hard-to-please family members so it MUST be good), and service is tip top - to the point that my dad wanted to tip them!
My favourite roasted potato salad on the right.
And I managed to try their Japanese scrambled eggs salad. Yummers!
Desserts were apple & olive cake plus raspberry & chocolate cake. Must say that their concoctions are really unique.
Then who knew there was an encore in the horizon? Turned out mumzee and sisters had something yellow up their sleeves...
made a wish for the better...
Yay Hello Kitty! And er, Big Bird - anyone knows its gender?
Many things happened over the week - I got food poisoning from abusing my own stomach (long story), became a reluctant owner of a swollen right foot, and discovered a lot more about my own psyche in mere two hours on a lounger. I realise, and I am sure we all know but so easily forget, that life is just so fickle. Being with my loved ones more often over the course of these few days made me realise that I do need people in my life. I used to want to be alone. I used to isolate myself because I feared that people would make me weak, debilitate my willpower to be "super human" and "perfect", but what it came down to was merely self-torment and a mind that has been cloistered for far too long.
And so I am really thankful today for all the love I am getting, for all the support I am receiving. I tend to beat myself up without realising that I am doing it - I just see it as a way of pushing myself to the limit because I know how one's body can take it if you do. But why do I do it? There is no reason to. And so, I am resting. And it is okay to rest. It is okay to say, hey, it is okay to be normal. At least for this matter itself.
Anyway.
Best birthday ever, thanks guys for making turning another year older a blast! :)
