Not only do we have 6am jobs every morning the whole of last week - which means waking up at 5.00am and leaving the house while it's still dark - there's the damn World Cup.
We started off watching every single match, but then found out the hard way that we are in fact, not build to sustain through the night without sleeping and then going to work straight after. -__- Tried that for 2 days and absolutely died. Until now still haven't had the chance to recover.
On the bright side, we've had all the good staff to work with, especially now that the exam period is more or less over. And having good company makes a world of difference; even the more painful jobs seem a lot more bearable when you can crouch in a corner and laugh at stupid things/people.
And as a bonus, boss Ryan sometimes treat us to brekkie or lunch!
Making his first appearance on this blog
Where upon I finally had the opportunity to try out Bar 399 in Northbridge, which has been raved about by Perth foodies for some time now.
It's a modest, unassuming half-lot, tucked in between all the Asian restaurants, and it's simply marked with a nondescript 399 on its entrance. In fact, it looks rather unimpressive from the outside; but as soon as you step in, you are greeted by breezy lounge music and the
entrancing aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans.
I loved the clever use of space in this cafe. The extensive bar on one side and cosy booths on the other. Throw in rustic wooden floorboards and textured lighting and wah-lah, you have yourself a sexy little establishment. :)
Also present in the place (but not pictured), are paintings which one can actually purchase for a reasonable number of $100 bills.
But all these are secondary to their coffees (and I would assume, meals).
Holy shit their coffees were out of this world.
Even the dusting cocoa they used was quality stuff. I had half the mind to lick the chocolate powder off the cup after I'd finish the coffee. With my finger, of course.
Although who's to say I didn't? :D
