ebay cool finds: count ketchup

i have a huge love for all things quirky.  i saw this on ebay last week.  it's a tomato sauce bottle head for squeezy bottles.  the tomato sauce comes out of the fangs of count dracula like blood.  imagine having this at a barbeque.

this can be purchased here on ebay for $6.75 AUD + $4.95 AUD shipping

little joys of life

sometimes there are little things in life that just makes you happy. when i found out they were selling roast pork sandwich at a sandwich bar below my workplace, i was really really happy.  this is because:  1. i love crackling  2. i love roast pork sandwiches ever since my experience at earl canteen  3. i work pretty much in a relatively remote area of the city and there aren't many options.  with all those reasons combined, it was like a little piece of paradise came to work.

so here i present the roast port sandwich (i am drooling as i type) with coleslaw, apple sauce, roast pork and pork crackling with avocado spread

can you see the pork crackling... yum

this was probably the best sandwich i have ever had.  now is it purely because of the taste. i have to admit i'm not too sure.  it could be all the above reasons combined and the fact that i was super hungry, but i would rate this roast pork sandwich a good 9/10.

why is this sandwich not a 10/10? i had the same sandwich a second time and it just didn't have the same balance unfortunately. so minus 1 for inconsistency.

however, compared to the earl canteen roast port baguette, this sandwich wins by a mile in my mouth.  i love how the there is so much crackling and the roast pork is so tender.  there are also good proportions of coleslaw and apple sauce to give it that good sweet taste which goes so well with roast pork.   

heavy baggage

i hope no one has this much heavy baggage.

love postcards

i love you postcard necklace
$3 AUD from diva
it's got a beautiful eiffel tower on the other side and the more you wear it, the more vintage it looks. like i said on the previous post, i am a sucker for anything that is a postcard. the funny thing is thing i don't really like to send postcards when i'm away...

cool finds: lipstick & stitch

generally i have make up everywhere in my bag. i went to hk in september this year and picked up the cutest pencial case for $35HKD (about $5AUD). i love anything that looks like the old-school envelops with the red and blue stripy border. it even has the fake stamps. i couldn't resist. i'm pretty sure this is a pecil case, but since i only carry a pen around, i thought i'll use it for my make up that is generally dispersed everywhere and making a great big mess in my bag.

it's a great size and has two compartments. the second compartment is my favourite. it has the envelope shape at the back with a velcro heart which opens and shuts. i put my mirror in there.

night of mayhem

on the way home from friday night drinks, i took the train. generally it's pretty rowdy at night but that night, there was a particular type of cheer that i had never heard before inside the train carriage. it sounded like this: "BINGO! YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

it was the scout boys holding guerrilla train bingo. they were moving from carriage to carriage giving out prizes to winners. there was a lot of buzz when they were around. great idea boys!
