* my down day *

last week, i woke up one morning and decided that i was going to have a down day.

this down day turned out to be an incredibly awesome idea. productively, it ended up including a trip to sydney aquarium - a place i've been wanting to go since i moved here last year!

best part? four letters: L-E-G-O. i'm such a kid. haha.

check it out:



did you know mr. shark weighs 680kgs? that's AMAZING! there's also a 7m model of jaws which is apparently the largest shark display in the world. also, AMAZING.

i decided afterwards that i really should have bought an annual pass. there's two reasons
(1) you get issued a plastic card called a 'merlin adventure pass'. and it looks AWESOME! :)
(2) this second reason is probably a tad bit more valid. it's because of the bench which is positioned right in front of this:



at that point, i felt almost pensive. :)

all in all - it was a really great down day.

makes you smile hey.

* the procrastinating taste test *

did you ever wonder who were better? eagle boys? or dominos?

well i've ALWAYS wondered this question!

so, one night this week, i decided it was time to put it to the test.





observations:
dominos: pizzas are slightly smaller, but have better deep pan bases/dough. their pizzas are also topped off with way more cheese and somehow turn out to be much saltier (though i realize now that that's probably the bacon talking).

eagle boys: much more generous with the toppings (especially veggies), but bases aren't as nice (granted, we tried their mid-base, not deep pan). also, they give you toppings right to the edge, without charging a surcharge. the downside though is that they took heaps longer.

results:
i'm sad to say, but i think dominos still wins in my books. they were faster and tastier. the size doesn't really bother me coz i'd never be able to finish a whole pizza on my own anyway. so, maybe in reality they're actually sizist and work to favour little people. :)
