Life is a party!

Whoever said "Life isn't one big party", they were obviously not talking about the previous week.
Two parties in one week, both of them organized (or at least instigated) by myself between homework and episodes of RuPaul. 

Tuesday: International food party for Taka's Birthday. 

What started as a small gathering to celebrate the birthday of Taka, who has become a great friend during my time in Japan, turned out to be one of the biggest events held in Ihouse thus far. 

Though there are no photos of the food, let me assure you that it was possibly the best food that an Ihouse party has ever seen. Three dishes were made by myself, two pizzas with roast pumpkin, capsicum, eggplant and mushrooms as well as a plate of pumpkin.　However, the sheer number of people participating and the number of dishes completely blew me away.

Instead of a birthday cake, we had a delicious marble cake made by the fantastic Andy. We did sing Happy Birthday though.
誕生日おめでとうたか！ ^_^ Much fun was had by all.

 

Friday: Japanese food party

 

Meeting again with my wonderful Tako Team Azusa, Arisa , Chiyaki and Kazuki, we bought the necessary ingredients then returned to Ihouse to make the takoyaki. It's always fun to make takoyaki with good friends. ^_^

Arisa (blue) will be heading to Canberra Australia in two weeks for a 3 month exchange to University of Canberra . Wishing her a fantastic time and please say hello if you see her.

Other members of Ihouse had promised yakisoba, okonomiyaki and crepes and these promises were delivered on with delicious results.

 Again we had a fantastic turnout so many thanks to all the people who participated in one, or both of these parties. You make my time in Ihouse so enjoyable.

咲いちゃん　Cy-chan 

 Happy to report that my beloved bonsai Cy-chan is growing well next to my new lavender plant Nee-chan. Kaworu is still waiting for Shinji as we come into Autumn.　忠愛だ






Speaking of plants, this week was an almost perfect week for Kado (Ikebana). Last week was extremely disappointing and frankly frustrating with not even an arrangement worthy of a photo for my folder . However, this weeks creation is an extremely aesthetically pleasing arrangement despite the style demanding the lack of a kenzan and a tall vase.THIS is how you win at Kado.

The shape,
the colours,
the balance.

Perfect.
