First time stepping into a Cinema in Aus


I am not exactly a fan of fiction books, but Jodi Picoult titles has been a rave amongst my friends who does lots of reading. Because of that, i bought 'My Sister's Keeper' about 3 years ago from memory, very heart-wrenching book, that could make you tear. Recently, or not very recently, a movie on this book was filmed. I was very excited when i heard about it and i was wanting to catch it when it was first out but because of schoolwork, i could only catch it this afternoon, it is my first movie in australia over the 3 years i have been living here!

I was a little disappointed after the movie, not that i didn't enjoy it but it felt abit too draggy, maybe it was because i knew where the story line was heading.. Cameron Diaz being the mom of Kate. Cameron looked old on screen, i think it was deliberate to make her look as such, worn-out from her duties of keeping her daughter alive. But still, she played the role well. z treated me to the movie, 28 Aud for student tickets, so expensive isn't it? we could have watched 2 movies if we were in sg!
Very much surprising, there was a Max Brenner's at Bondi, just a level below the cinemas! Obviously, i couldn't let that go! by the way, this outlet closes at midnight!!


We're on the bus, heading to Bondi Junction!

ER'S MAX BRENNER'S MAX BRENNER'S MAX BRE

very popular in Syd, they have over 7 outlets in NSW


Ooooooooh Yeaaaahhhh

Tucked in that little corner is where you could select their house pralines from white to dark chocs, i think they are pretty pricey though


Look at the colorfully painted walls, i am sure the girls will go mad, wanting to take pictures with the nice walls! Reminded me of this all mango dessert stall in Bangkok where they had mango-filled pictures (look below). if i have a cafe one day, i will paint it like that too, How vibrant it brings to the shop!

Mango dessert shop in BKK

The interesting bit, look at the pipes saying 100% chocolate, we had no doubts the pipes were filled with chocolate, and goes all the way into the counter-area where they had this machine that segregates the White, Milk & Dark chocolate..(look below)

Following the pipes....Can you see the chocolate pumps? isn't that so cooool?






Apart from our drinks, we had belgian waffles x 2, drizzled with their milk chocolate sauce



'Drink me' - Dark Chocolate Mocha Frappe, do they have such mugs in singapore?? I didn't see many people having the signature 'Chocolate Suckaos' like they do in Sg, and the weather was pretty warm today..



Mr Belgian Waffles, you're finished.



Presenting you chocolate by Max the 'bald man'
, not the one in grey of course..
