Some of you might know and some of you might not, but the first Starbucks was founded in Downtown Seattle at Pike Place Market. It's about a 20 minutes drive from my place so what the heck, lets go check out the first Starbucks to see what it looks like or how special it is. It didn't disappoint me at all. I did enjoy my trip down there as it was warm, sunny and the place was buzzing with life and I had a great lunch in La Panier (french bakery) and an awesome wine tasting session in La Buona Tavola (a small little truffle cafe). Anyway here's a picture that I took in front of Starbucks :

We were up in Vancouver for a one day trip and the highlight of the day has got to be La Casa Gelato. It is the only gelato factory/store in the world that carries 218 flavours on location from the 500+ flavours that they have. 218 flavours! That's an amazingly diverse amount of flavours. It is so diverse that we had a hard time picking out just 1 flavour. They range from standard gelato flavours  to very exotic ones like chocolate curry, balsamic vinegar, wasabi and gorgonzola blue cheese (I tried all the above) just to name a few. 

The place was practically swamped with customers and normally I would’ve leave as fast as I can (I dislike overly crowded places) but that didn’t stop me from staying longer. The interesting combinations of gelato flavours were so tempting that I had to walk from one end to another to carefully taste and pick my flavour.

La Casa Gelato has got to be the best gelato I've tasted thus far. So good that they receive a vast amount of media coverage for example the Chinese Network, Vancouver Sun and Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Even the queen of lifestyle, Martha Stewart herself has been there to get a taste of La Casa’s Gelato.

If any of you ever hit up Vancouver, don’t forget to pay La Casa Gelato a visit. It’s highly recommended and a definite must go. 

p/s: I doubt that I’ll ever get much of durian in Seattle, so we ended up picking the durian flavoured gelato. It even had tiny bits of durian flesh in it. I also bought an almond nougat bar, my all time favourite snack. yum yum...

Heya! I'm home! Miss me ke? Phew I'm brought back home by AirAsia.


Was so afraid they'll leave me in Singapore and separate me from my Mama and I'll go "Wa wa waaaaaaaaa bring me back to my Mama. I want my Mama" *stomping my feet on the ground*...Hehehe I'm just being dramatic. You know me, I get very drama when I'm over excited. Why? Because I went with an empty luggage and came back with an excess baggage =O ...I didn't only buy things I wanted to buy but I bought stuff that I accidentally stumble upon. Here's how it went...

On our way searching our way to Clark Quay
Me : Hey which way should we go?
Gaz : I think we should go...*trails off*
Sue : Hey I know, instead of taking the traffic lights, lets get across through that store and go straight...
All of Us: Wokie!

So there we go, trotting hastily towards the store hoping to get to Clark Quay ASAP BUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuT

Me : Wait wait wait! *Droools. Staring wide-eyed at the pretty red thing in front of me...Oooh come to mama, baby!*

Our mission to Clark Quay came to a halt! Sue and I began prancing in the store in green, red, pink, blue you name it we tried it shoes. A shoe lover like me can't resist slipping my feet into those gorgeous heels, can I? Orh lovely lovely shoes...I'm sure the store assistants would have chopped us, grind us into small little pieces and throw us into the river of Clark Quay to feed the fishes if we didn't end up buying something from the store. But of course a shoe hoarder can never come out from a shoe store empty handed right? teeheehee. So here's what mi got for miself :

looky looky me grinning so happily in my new red peep toes? and YES! I wore it immediately after I purchased it ^^. Ain't it adorable? Matches my dress perfectly :D

and ORH, look at that sexy green thing. Seriously, how can anyone not buy them?Arh the question mark? It's something I got for MoofMoof. He doesn't know what I got him yet so I shall not reveal it here either. Answers might be revealed in a month time, so stay tuned.Alrighty I didn't get the red hot pants (not hot enuff but didn't dare get any shorter pants since my legs *ahem* not that hot la yer) from the same store but I cannot not post it up here when it's such a great buy and oh so cute! too...only cost me SGD10...great buy kan?

I bought tons of other stuffs, mainly clothing. There are just too many of them that one page can hardly fit them all so am not gonna post it all up here ^^...Conclusion = I burn a big hole in my purse once again (erm...more like MoofMoof's pocket ehehehe =p) *wink wink...flashing my innocent kitty smile*

p/s: Thanks baby! (have to show gratitude la kan?)
