Melbourne really is a strange place. One day you think Winter is upon us with rain, sub 10 degrees and windy and the next is sunshine and 28. Yuye and I planned our long awaited day off together which included brunch and a stop over at Mork specialty chocolate cafe in North Melbourne. As I […]…
As a child I’ve always wanted a cupboard under the stairs so I can hide there when I’m sad, or play hide and seek with my friends. But the harsh reality was, we always lived in a single storey house. While many of my friends had that luxury, I could only go to their houses […]…

Tucked away behind a Coles petrol station off the corner of Lygon Street and Elgin Street is new cafe The Vertue of the Coffee Drink. Following signs on the main street, we managed […]…
I admit, I am easily amused. Every little joke that Yuye cracks can make me laugh uncontrollably even though it might not actually be funny.
