how to get over HUMP DAY..

Wednesday, it's Hump day. Half way through the week, yet not close enough to see the weekend yet. So how do you survive the hump day blues? Easy... grab friends... and have fun!!

This is how we survived our middle of the week! (which is actually our day off... and sort of my weekend..)

Start the day with brunch anywhere really... we chose West End Deli, because last time we were here it was rather nice... Unfortunately, this time around it was VERY disappointing.. although it was filling, the food very very average, in fact my poached egg seemed to have gone cold by the time it came to me. My mocha was too milky, couldn't taste the chocolate. S's steak and mushroom pie was nice and hot, but it seemed a little dry, which she said it was, it needed more gravy/sauce. To top it off, the bill was ridiculous, over-rated. Might be a while before I come back, if I come back, I'm sure there are nicer places.

After brunch, got some bubbletea, before heading to BHS to see some old work friends, sat with them at their lunch half hour, before heading to Whaleback golf course - because they had a driving range, and I've never played/held a golf club before. It was surprisingly fun and I'm sure was rather entertaining to watch me attempt to swing - which I can't, because I can't seem to be able to bring the club above my hips, due to years of playing hockey! All I can say is it was so much fun!

Because the day was still young, well, 4pm, and the sun was shining in the middle of autumn, we decided to make the most of our off day and go to places we haven't been to in ages, and that happened to be King's Park (and they changed the entrance!! more pedestrian friendly!) - more specifically to the Synergy Park and attempted to run from the Synergy Park to the DNA tower in my oxfords (BAD IDEA!), but we didn't make it very far, we weren't wearing appropriate footwear!

We watched the sunset on the DNA tower before heading into the city for drinks, dinner and karaoke madness... where C took his top off... there was lots of love... PARTY in the USA.. and rocking out to guns and roses and bon jovi...

OUR wednesday finished at 11:45pm.. and I would have to say we successfully managed to survive the uphill battle to the middle of the week and ended it on a note which privy to a good ride towards the weekend!

ps. this was last week, yesterday my hump day wasn't as exciting. I blame that solely on having to recover from a busy weekend and from work.

Movies by Burswood

Saturday night was absolutely perfect, not to hot with a cool breeze (in fact it was chilly for a summer night) my cousins and I went to the annual summer event - the moonlight cinemas event. It's even better, because there was no mossies (thanks to the cool weather!) and the cinemas were showing 2 movies for the price of one and D and his brother were kind enough to give me this awesome voucher so A and I got in for FREE!! yay!! So what was on? --

Mao's Last Dancer

and..

Time Traveller's Wife

I haven't seen Mao's Last Dancer when it was shown, so giving this opportunity to see it at the outdoor cinemas was a good thing, granted it's a little old. I still rather liked it. I kept analysing the whole thing and thinking how glad I am that my grandparents (on both sides of the family - mum and dad) escaped the cultural revolution by Mao - who bloody destroyed China's long historic culture (by removing everything and anything that distinguished "classes" - oh like that can be removed!.. anyway that's another different post all together).

A and I didn't stay for Time Traveller's Wife but O and D did.. (ahhahha OD hahah ... T_T i'm so lame!!)..
and you should have seen the line to the toliets during the break between the two movies... crazy.

Outdoor cinemas and the Perth Arts Festival are one of the few things I love about summer in Perth. If the night isn't too balmy hot, it's perfect to go outside, ARMED with insect repellent (to cover yourself with if you are prone to bites like I am), wear maxi dresses/summer dresses or top and shorts and lie on a picnic rug/sit on a picnic chair and have a picnic while the sun is setting and watch the movie afterwards. Perfection.
And to top it off, Movie by Burswood are all charity based - so proceeds goes to a good cause - the kids of Perth!

Check out what's on next by going ot the Movies by Burswood website. Because I still have two more free tickets and 4 more $6 tickets so I want to go again... who wants to make it a night!!!??? . OO and then there's the ones in King's Park - The Moonlight Cinemas (where I always get bitten by mossies T_T..) - - I want to see Pulp Fiction there!!
