Parade & Protest Day
- Random pics :)
Behold! It's DebWahnZhenSean 42 (pic above, to the right)! A stunning creation composed of rum, vodka, strawberry, lychee & cranberry juice (shameless self-promotion). Acknowlegdment (lol) for this wonderful creation:
Debbs - vodka
Wahn - strawberry
Zhen Sheng - rum
Sean - lychee
? unknown bartender from T42 - cranberry juice
...A round of applause, please, people.
The birthday girl making a face :P lol (And I thought Tiramisu was your favourite, Debbs)
Don't be fooled; despite the fact that I'm actually FORCING a smile, the drink was bad. Seriously.
...You know you're in trouble when the bartender makes your cocktail while flipping through the recipe book. (Below: the notorious lychee-something, which sounded far better in the menu than reality)
...Thar she blows!!!
...Imaginary candles or not, birthday wishes still have to be made :)
DOGS WITH DREADLOCKS!
Ladies and gentlemen, I kid you not. Parked right in front of a protest-against-the-Tasmanian-pulp mill booth were 2 black dogs (and no, I don’t happen to know their breed) with the zaniest hairstyles (or should I say, ‘furstyles’?). Now, I know that pet owners occasionally indulge in some of their whims and fancies by experimenting on their pets, but dreadlocks? Anyway, speaking of protests…it was a little surprising, sitting by the window of Sakura, calmly sipping some green tea, just to suddenly find a whole crowd marching in the streets, carrying protest signs, drumming away and err…protesting, I guess. It was interesting to see how someone cosplayed as an angel or something (more like a goth angel, especially with all that mascara); what was more interesting, though, was the number of people involved. Ally, ZS & I were all amused at the fact that the line of march seemed never-ending. Quotes of the day:
A: “I didn’t know Hobart had so many people.”
ZS: “Where did all these people come from? …Wait, I know! They’re the same people from the front of the line! They just made a huge circle”
As if the goth angel wasn’t amusing enough, there were a couple of eyebrow-raisers roaming the streets today, like the giant popcorn or giant choc cone on Elizabeth street. Or the santa-hat donning Spiderman who happened to be crossing the street. Hmm…probably had something to do with the Christmas parade they had in the city this morning. Apparently it started at about eight-ish till about 10 in the morning. Just as I was lamenting the fact that I’d missed the parade and complaining at the fact that ZS saw it firsthand, ZS said, “What’re you complaining about? They were testing the mikes first thing in the morning, right OUTSIDE my window. Imagine being woken up by someone saying: ‘Hello…Hello…testing…’ –insert annoyed look-”. Oh well.
Tried looking for gifts (once again) in Salamanca; unfortunately, today’s attempt was once again futile. The entire time was spent aimlessly wandering around, with an occasional stop by the fudge shop and shamelessly pigging out on their samples, or stuffing down a dagwood dog.
Random time!
1. Had moss fish for dinner the night before Debbs left, at Prossers on the Beach. Yes, you heard me right. M-O-S-S fish; I took the liberty of naming it so by its appearance. At first glance, the dish looked grotesquely covered by clumps of greenish bits that looked exactly like Bryophyta…or, widely known as the common moss.
Behold, pictures of moss…
