MacBook Pro

Note: Dick Smith Electronics … L O V E

Dick Smith!

So…. yesterday was late night shopping at Botany Town Centre, so we did a bit of shopping at Valleygirl and then went to Dick Smith Electronics to have a play with their gadgets!

  

And what we bee-lined to was their laptops! and straight to the biggest one! MacBook Pro! Love A P P L E! it was on special for like NZD$3000 something and we were like WOAH! but hey, free to play right? So we clicked on Camera Booth & discovered our faces on the screen! Because the MacBook had an awesome camera feature! Check it out!

 

In all its full glory!

 

See that little black dot? Yea that’s the camera and it’s pretty clear too!

So…. we decided to play around with the feature and DICK SMITH is the best! It has Internet connected to all the computers, so I sent the few shots to my email & bron’s email from hotmail!

Presenting…

the Sepia effect/function!

 

This cool MacBook has the most amazing effects, you can put yourself in a different backgrounds (like in the clouds or infront of the Eiffel Tower) You can stretch your faces… I sorta deleted it though, but that was a funny shot! etc.

 

 

Thanks Dick Smith for not kicking us out for spending ages on your laptop!

 

Avocado Choc Shake!

Note: Yummy treat! Featured Drink of the week!!!

After lunch, we got home and started talking about a yummy avocado shake we had at a Vietnamese restaurant a couple weeks back, and with the abundance of Avocado we had at home, we decided to re-make the shake! BUT with a twist! a veeeerrrrrrrryyyyyyy good twist! Add chocolate ice-cream –> kindly suggested by my aunt (thank you!!!) who had tried an avo-choc shake in Indonesia! So, out came our Shimono blender (a.k.a Magic Bullet) a couple of avocados, sugar syrup, ice and Double-Choc Ice Cream! We whipped everything together and behold the beautiful sight!

The one and only SHIMONO!

Avocados in the garden!

 

Working hard in the kitchen to make the mouth-watering shake!

yummy!

More avo? Yes please!

Double Choc Ice cream!!! mmm…

Okay, to be serious, it doesn’t look all that appetizing anymore but believe me, it more-than-makes-up for in taste than for looks! Sensational! If I could post a taste-tester application on the Internet I would!

 

– Yummy!

 

Is that my stomach again?

Yan Yan sticks and Panda bear biscuits!

Note: Flash to the past!

Today, was a day for celebrating the success of my sister who just passed her driving restricted test! Congrats Bron! Now you can drive me around where I want to go! well, she did well and I’m happy for you! So, we decided what to have for dinner and went to the lot of shops near my house to get some things prepared for dinner. We went to the Mad Butcher and then to the Tofu Shop next door. And I chose out one of my absolute favourite kiddy snacks to eat! Yan yan sticks and panda bear bikkies! Yummy! These snacks always give me flashbacks of the not so long-ago past when I was a 7/8 yr old kid picking out these scrummy chocolatey bites to eat at the chinese supermarket.

I always knew my mum would never buy me these supposed unhealthy, expensive snacks so I turned to my godmother who willingly donated to Megan’s Snack-feed Charity. I’m forever grateful and as I sit merrily crunching on my sticks and my sister on her biscuits today, I cherish these little dips into heaven. These products are oh-so cleverly designed to tempt the weak, or the snack-crazy like me! But they’re so cutely designed and on my yan yan sticks, there are little messages to the eater. Like… SQUIRREL- a best friend or FOX- beware of lies…. who could resist?

 

Certainly not me!
