Food Lover

I love eating, I love eating good food, sometimes the simplest food can't beat any novelty or festive food. Like the grilled sardine I had in Portugal the other day. And this Japanese summer dish. Cold thin wheat noodles (So Men - this name actually means simple noodle)It's easy to make but you can't over cook them, it only takes 3 mins, also when you drain noodles, immerse in cold water with ice and make the noodles very chilled very quickly. That is the key!!!

Then you just serve with chilled noodle dipping sauce with chopped spring onion & grated fresh ginger.

It's one of the best and popular Japanese staple summer food. I just cooked myself and it simply made me so happy and satisfied. oh, and it's Non-Fat!

After the noodles I had a glass of Jasmine & Lily tea.

pour hot water (around 80°c, not boiling hot), the tea ball drops, and see it starts blooming

beautiful isn't it?

Barbara came round last night, she's so chilled.

I just found this lion

and this doggy while I was packing up. Cute aren't they?

I made and hand stitched them without any templates long time ago. I'm not going to throw these ones away. Mia who has her own fashion label was pretty impressed by my hand stitch skillz.

hate packing

moving house again.... throwing more stuff away to have room to get more shite in a new place.

GG the Aristocat

That's what his mum did for him. Such a heartwarming story... The first time I went to visit my cat GG since I adopted him 6 months ago. He now lives in a very nice house.

He was chilling staring at his garden, do you remember yr mum GG?

He completely ignored me and went down stairs for food.

Yep this place has downstairs and 3 floors on top. Very very nice.

His garden

GG and his mum renunion

he wasn't bothered.

and walked away from me again

He's changed, you Aristocat! Your life is sorted now.

Mummy is happy for you I wish I could come with you.

Here are GG when he was a working class cat living with me.

Happy days

Misa

I went to my friend Misa's new flat today. She just moved in with her boyfriend.The reason I went to her house is of course to catch up and have a nice cup of tea with her, but also I'm moving house again staying at my friends living room for a month from this weekend, I dropped off some of my nice plates and cutely I don't want to throw away to her to keep them for me.
Her new place is so nice. She has so many nice antique stuff she has collected.
My life hasn't got any better or worse. I'm not bitter about it, but since I'm moving house so many times recently that I just can't be bothered to keep so many belongings with me moving around.
What do you do with all these stuff? Magazines I'm in, Things with memories... I wanted to keep everything. But I threw away so much. I can't take everything...

I'm not being a EMO, but you know those people in North East Japan, so many of them lost their houses and everything, Tsunami swept away everything. It's so sad.

But also this made me realise that you don't have to keep so many things with you, your memories still remain within you. All the amazing memories you had are still vivid without things to remind you.

I know, it would be still so nice to have lovely things in your place, having your own place to live. One day I hope I can afford to live in a nice place and live with things I love around me.

and yeah, Misa's new place is so lovely and I'm so so happy for her! x x x

Sweaty

Burning off calories. I took a bath with this bath salt, MetaBoo.

I sweated a lot.

rock salt

vek

I met Tom Vek for the first time the other night. Although I have his first album I bought when it came out, I never knew his face. He said "We've never introduced each other properly, but thank you for being in my video". So I immediately figured out and asked, "Are you Tom Vek?" I was a bit embarrassed.

Milhões de Festa

Comanechi played Milhoes de Festa in Portugal on Sunday (Monday morning 4am). It was a LOoOoONG long weekend for me. I didn't really sleep for the whole weekend. I bumped into my friends's band Foot Village on a train to Gatwick Airport.

They were also playing the same festival, Milhoes de Festa. They are from LA, we are friends because PRE played with them, stayed at their house, had so much fun when we toured West Coast. This is Dan & Brian.

Dan & Grace,

Josh

They are all so so nice people. Foot Village are 4 drummers and sing, shout & scream.

we arrived in Porto at 10pm, we dropped our bags off at our hotel

then went straight to the site

We had our own dressing room, YAY!!!

boys went straight to the rider, we were all so hungry and desperate.

A big bag of crisps.

Vodka

Wine

from Portugal

We went look around the site

making churros

Electrelane at the main stage

Here is our stage (and foot village)

We were trying to stay awake till our stage time (3:45am) we tried vodka with redbull and vodka with espresso.

Simon warming up

Foot Village went on stage one before us, they were seriously so amazing.

While there was the last band playing in main stage, we had a quick sound check.

Dan foot village at the back of Vice stage waited for Comanechi to go on stage.

Although all the foot village were tired from touring and traveling, they all waited for us and watched the entire set. So Sweet. 3:45 in the morning. Me holding a bottle of vodka and a glass of beer.

I think none of the audience left the sitel till the very end of the festival. There were so many people.

Once I'm on stage I'm fine.

Simon

Chris

find me in the crowd

I crowd surfed

Someone actually videoed the crowd surf and uploaded already on YouTube. Thank you.

Big mosh pit

After our set, there was one last set I can't remember what they were called, everyone jumped up on the stage and danced to the end.

hanging out with Foot Village, they were leaving Portugal in the afternoon to go to Amsterdam to carrying on touring

Simon, Alex & me went for a walk

sunny and nicely hot

Lunch

We ordered Jug of white wine plus complimentary bread & olives.

Simon and Alex had grilled chicken,

Me grilled sardine

They tasted so perfect, really simple seasoned with crystal sea salt with chopped fresh garlic on top

Side vegetables (potato, pepper, onion) they all tasted just so so good. One of the best meal I had in a while.

they were all massive portion but we finished them all. Nothing's left.

we ate very slowly enjoying the meal. we had a pick up to go back to the airport in the evening.
The sunset from the aeroplane, the picture doesn't really show it but it was the most beautiful blood orange sun I saw in my life. I really really enjoyed playing Milhoes de Festa, I think this was our best show yet since Comanechi as 3-piece. I'm happy. x
