Cumulus Inc.

Well this photo was from yesterday lunch. 

My boyfriend was talking about Cumulus on Flinders Lane before, and I was close by so I decided to go and grab some coffee with my workmate.

I took away lamb sandwich and coffee.

This sandwich was so good!!!

It was sweet and spicy, and I just loved it!! 

We went to another cafe to grab another coffee nearby, and one of the staff there noticed my sandwich and she just said to me "The best sandwich ever!!!" 

I'm wondering if it's a nice place to come down for dinner as well..

I might give it a go next time :)

Melbourne in the rain

I had a meeting at new shop today and met a lot of new people mostly our suppliers.

My goodness, so many names to remember!! Hehe

I was a bit tired because so many things going on at the same time..

Hopefully everything turns out well.

I just finished work and it is raining but Melbourne looks so pretty in the rain :)

State of Origin Game 2

Tonight is the night! 

State of Origin Game 2..as I mentioned in a previous blog, I'm a Queensland supporter! 

I was watching with my boyfriend's family without him lol.

Unfortunately he has an exam tomorrow..so he missed it. 

Anyway they are from Queensland (him, his sister&him mum moved down to Melbourne 6-7years ago) and his sis's husband is born in Melbourne so he goes for family team. 

I, myself, lived in Brisbane for awhile and believe that I'm a queenslander too, so I go for Maroons as well! 


We went to watch the first game at Etihad stadium in Melbourne, and Queensland won*hooray!*. 

This time, the game was on in Sydney, so the supporters are pretty much all blues(NSW team colour is blue, QLD team colour is maroon).


Well, to be honest, it was a tough game, and it looked like the ground was a bit slippery. 

But as a qld supporter, it was such a bad game too...they kept dropping the ball and missed all the chances..:(

A lot of injuries tonight too.. 

We lost, but I say it was fair enough and we will win on the game 3 in Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, QLD! 

We can't loooooooose!!!!! 

I'm sad but let's just forget it. NSW should feel happy sometimes since they have been loosing the games 6 years in a row(correct?) :P

Can't wait for the game 3. It will be good! 

Queenslander!!!! :) 

New shop

This morning, I got up late..,as usual, and head down to city for coffee training.

Coffee making and also food tasting.

The food was fantastic and coffee is getting better :)
Exciting moment!!

State I origin game 2 is on tonight and watching it with my bf's family without my bf lol

They are all from Queensland and I've been in Queensland for long time so of course we are all going for Maroons!!!!!!

Go Queenslander!!!!!! :)

Market Lane Coffee and Alison's Handmade Bread

It was such a beautiful day today so I've decided to go to Prahran Market.

I could have gone to Victoria Market but I somehow prefer Prahran one more since it's much quieter, and also it is closer to my place :P 


Also I wanted to get a lovely bread from Alison's Handmade Bread (Addy is at the bottom of the blog).


It is located just off Chapel Street, near safeway/coles. 


She makes beautiful bread.

My boyfriend loves her bread (and so do I!), so I've decided to buy some for him. 

I bought a Rye&Sunflower multigrain one. 

It is $8 but it really worth it! 

I wasn't so sure if that is my bf's favourite, but thanks for Alison's help, it really was his fav after all! :)

Please please try out her bread. 

It is such a fantastic bread. No preservative but it lasts very long! 




Well after shopping, I went to Market Lane Coffee. 


This specialised coffee shop is the one who has been training on my new cafe. 


They are fantastic and so passionate about their coffee! 


Me and 2 other barista from my new shop went together to do coffee tasting. 

We just hide all the answers written on the papers in the photo first.

Weird thing is, I guessed all correct! 


I was happy that I actually practised a lot back in Starbucks days!*Yay!*

We had a great time at Market Lane! 

We definitely should do these tasting competition thing at our new cafe too! :) 


After catch up, the boys went home and I left to my bf's place to drop off the bread. 

Haven't seen him for a week, looked very exhausted from his study :(

Good luck on the next exam!! :) 




Anyway, I need to go back to "work"..! 


Good night!

More than a year!

It's been AWHILE!!!

Well it's been more than a year..oops again!

I successfully graduated from school and was the first to graduate *hooray!*

I moved down to Melbourne in Feb (from Brisbane) since my boyfriend lives here

*let's talk about him next time :P*

And I was offered a restaurant manager position! *woo hoo!*

Although I still miss the beautiful Queensland weather, life is good here. 

I was so frustrated with my visa situation

It kinda worked out!

I still have to go to Japan this coming July to change my visa 

But my owners  mentioned about sponsorship (and that is why they offered me a manager role too)

So I might be able to stay in Australia, and which is a fantastic news for me!

I am so excited to manage new place!

It is my first experience so I've got loads of things to learn

But I'm looking forward to it  at the same time :)

My team and staff are very passionate about coffee making! 

I just hope everything goes well..!! :)
