For every day of the week, I am thankful for what every new day brings me.

So here's a new once-a-week series; published every Sunday night to recap the highlights of my week, capture what piques my interest and to share recommendations for to-go places and to-eats throughout the week.

These are the bucketful of things that made this week more awesome than the last!

Had fun watching my little boy Chivas playing with his new fluffy toy mouse that theboyf bought him! 

Had some pub grub with my gurlfriend Pammy at Tom, Dick & Harry's @ TTDI

We had a pint of Blackthorn Cider, Breaded Button Mushrooms, Pork Ribs Curry, Chicken & Mushroom Pie

Needless to say, you know what it is despite the fish eye distortion! 

Succumbed to my Swedish meatball cravings at Ikea @ Mutiara Damansara

Hey, did you know there is an app called REAL LIFE?  That's right.

My buddies & I surrendered our cellphones & piled them up in the middle of our table for

a more personal social outing!

Lunchdate with theboyf at Sakae Sushi @ Sunway Pyramid

We had Beef Sukiyaki, Japanese Potato Salad, Sesame Squid, Soft Shell Crab and lots more!

Chanced upon this and I couldn't agree more.

I think everyone should heed this about everyone!

Made some healthy lunchies at home!

Buttered Toast with Tuna, Hardboiled Eggs, Fresh Lettuce & Avocado mash

Checked out the latest outlet in my suburb – My Burger Lab @ Seapark Petaling Jaya

Had their best-selling A+ Beef Burger and the Hangover Burger! 

Breakin' a sweat on Wednesday evening!

5KM run clocked in at 35:00mins at Celebrity Fitness @ One Utama

Cooking up a storm in my kitchen! 

Citrus butter-baked Salmon with Roasted Carrots, Fresh Lettuce & Orange Wedges

At Godiva Chocolatier @ Pavilion KL. Our little Sunday evening out in the city! 

Chocolate makes us happy; what about you? 

Tried out the new Absolute Chocolate from Secret Recipe @ Uptown Damansara

I loved how my teeth sink into different levels with each bite. Definitely a must-try!

A hot latte on a cold, rainy afternoon helped me stay warm throughout the gloomy day!

Just some camlovin'

When hunger pangs got the better of us – Iranian food & shisha on a Thursday night!

Caspian : Persian Fine Cuisine @ Neo Damansara

LOL drew Barney at Draw Something

My Greek other half made us dinner – a popular delicacy in Greece!

One of my faves, it's μελιτζάνες παπουτσάκια  (Melitzanes Papoutsakia) 

Got woken up by babyChivas this morning! 

Just got back from some shopaholic time at Pavilion KL

Cheers to my new cream coloured wedges  So comfy too!

That's all for this week. Looking forward for more exciting things in the next! 

Have a great week ahead of y'all!

Most of the photos in this edition are posted instantly on my Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook as it happens.

So follow me to get instant updates and pretty photos of the sights & sounds all around!

With my usual weekends spent in the city of Melbourne, I am usually nomadic and tend to succumb to aimless shopping and gallivanting.

Either that or just hangin' out with my citymates over a cuppa…. and hitting the pubs for a drink or two at night.

Shoppingtime at Queen Victoria street market

Yes, stop staring at my feet. I fell prey to the trend of UGG boots.

I know I once condemned its hideousness but then again, that's what everyone once said about Crocs in the beginning too.

Once you find something that suits you, you'll eventually end up strutting down the street with your favorite pair. And they keep my feet warm from this chilly weather of averagely 15°C

Sales. Sales… oh the music of sales.

Bells are ringing, I swear. Whenever I walk past a display window, the new arrivals and lovelies beckon me to come closer. Like the Pied Piper of Hamlin to the rats and children.

Retail therapy. Say no no no no before your bank dries up, Jess.

Also, when you're in the city, remember to eat your heart out.

Try things that are not available in your home country. In my case, would be Malaysia. So when in Melbourne, get to Subway's Chicken and Bacon Ranch, McDonalds' Angus Beef Burger, Hungry Jack's Bacon Deluxe and the list goes on.

OMM NOM NOM NOM

FORGIVE ME, IF YOU'RE ON A DIET.

this is mild food porn.

Anyway!

There's more than just fast food, obviously. Deli restaurants, international cuisines from every part of the world you can imagine (I will share my Greek escapade pretty damn soon 😉 ) and yes, chocolate lounges are a must-go.

Again, I'm sorry if you're lactose intolerant!

Because these are pretty fine bites of cocoa

Now, excuse me while I devour the entire shop and tip the weighing scales 😛

Holla me if you ever come down to Melbourne!
