She's Back!!!

One of my childhood friends JUJU one day sent me a message on facebook reporting that she will be coming back to Jakarta in July! I was shocked and excited simultaneously knowing that it has been like FOREVER that I've not met her! - She recalled the last time she came back to Indonesia from Canada was 8 years ago.

So.. I arranged a meeting today to meet her up together with Laura (that was also in the same childhood-friend circle as us).

We decided to meet up at Central Park, since that Juju has never been to CP before.
As I arrived, I decided to pay a visit down to the restroom first and as I was walking down the hallway... Juju was just coming out of the restroom and it was so funny how we didn't really immediately noticed each other and was at our most flat expression when we stared at each other. and approximately at 5 secs or so, I started to realized... "hey.. she looks familiar". Ended up in I (we) burst into laughter out of our stupidity and then began to hug each other.

So we strolled down the mall for awhile and had some chat going on until Laura arrived at CP.

It was lunch-time. Since that I was very much satisfied of the Brussels Spring restaurant I went together with Randy to, I proposed the idea of eating there. They approved.

Laura told me that there were glass tables decorated with cute toys in it, in the restaurant. I didn't really notice those tables, so then we agreed on seating there instead of at the other 'normal' tables.

I brought my camera with me but as I snapped a picture out of it, an "Error 01" code unexpectedly abrupt at the display screen. (,,#゚Д゚):∴;'・,;`:!! So I used my cellphone instead to take these pictures :

Toys inside of the tables

Cute Bento Hello Kitty toys

















Sweet cakes

















Us... pretty dark and blurry

















and more toys on top of  the wall

















which literally means : once you eat chocolate, you feel like eating again.

















The food had finally arrived! We ordered the bacon ribs. It was sweet and tender although it felt like there were quite a lot of meaty fibers for the texture. I'd say it was a 7,5.

















The tasty and very cheesy Margarita Waffle. Laura and Juju thought it tasted just like pizza. Another 7.5.

















Dessert was the Big-brother Brownie Sundae. Served together with a scoop of chocolate ice cream and another scoop of oreo cheesecake ice cream, topped with whipped cream, cherry and chocolate syrup glaze. The great champion ice cream was a solid 8. However, the brownie didn't really taste like brownie at all. It tasted more like a chocolate cake mixed with chunks of nuts in it but without the fudgy/chewy brownie texture. I'd rate it as a 5 for a brownie.

















Not really satisfied of our picture before, we went to the front of the sink mirror to take clearer pictures of the three of us

















and another...

















Asked the mbak² for a favor to take a shot of us.

















Once we were happy and satisfied after lunch, we decided to get home as Juju had to take her dad to the airport. So we walked down to Taman Anggrek where her family were at.

Have I told you that Juju has a really cool tattoo on her arm?? (^_-)☆

















In TA.. we managed to perpetuate this beautiful moment once again...
(/o^)/

















and another once...
