On the way to Movida (Restaurant in the background to the right)

Front view, tried to make reservations but fully booked and had to be early to sit at the bar.
Our 1st Aniversary Dinner; Sunday 2nd December '07

'Alhambra' (pronounced ah-lump-bra) $8 a bottle
The best spanish beer... totally smooth 6.7% alchohol. not available in any other bars.
Unfortunately i didnt take any pictures of our meal there. We shared 4 tapas (size of an australian 50 cents coin) and 2 Racion (looked like entres) I remembered there was the spanish croquette$3 for 1, thinly sliced wagyu with poached eggs $17, creamed scallops $4.50 each, another was this prawn thingy with fried pork belly and this pita looking thingy too.
So he had 2 bottles of alhambra and all together it cost us $85
The food was absolutely marvelous; it was nothing like I ever tasted in my entire life.

Hard to get a clear shot as the dock was swaying... it's part of Frankston beach from the end of the dock. Frankston station is not nearby if you're wondering. The beach stretches till St Kilda Beach. Melbourne beaches suck...
The moon looks like the knight chess piece (1 quater moon)

Packing up early at 3.30am coz the rain clouds stormed in within seconds

Looking for a TAB at 4am++ on the way back from Frankston. All closed early or at 4.30am... so just went straight back home... boo

Some birds at a pet shop in vic market on friday morning. These birds damn cute coz they don't chirp, but they really sound like gossiping birds.. so many of them and were so 'bo si tiam' in the cage. Then some other pet shop in vic mart were selling 'dwarf lop' bunnies for only $40 per bunny... i love lop bunnies coz their ears... lop... duh but i didnt take pictures... once again...

btw if u ever do go to vic market... 'DO NOT TOUCH' the merchandise.. and i mean fruits... the vendors damn tulan if u touch and don't purchase..
