Remedy
Remedy has been one of my favorite shops since it opened. Few steps away from the busy Fremantle cappuccino street, this store is secretary but very popular among those people who find joy in collecting nice homeware, kids toys, accessories and gifts.

On Sunday my friend came over for Oden and Chirashi-zushi party! I started simmering the tofu, konnyaku, daikon radish and boiled eggs on Thursday night so that they would absorb the soup and flavor very good. On Saturday I added some nerimono (all sorts of fish-cakes) to finish-up. It looked so yummy!
I can’t believe I forgot to take pictures! I must had been so busy eating and chatting… (>0<) So here is the image photo from Google…
(Mine was not this beautiful!)
One of the friend couldn’t join the oden party as she has been suffering from unfortunate food poisoning since last week.
I remember my first and last food poisoning was in Jakarta… It was terrible! I was on holiday, but couldn’t even get up from the bed. The whole body was cold/sweating/shaking/fever/vomiting/etc. I just wanted to lie down on the bed, I couldn’t even stand the gentle air wave from the air conditioner.
I hope she gets better!
It was another cold night, and I wrapped myself in a blanket on the sofa and was watching tv with my husband. It was warm during the day though…
As I stretched my body, I looked up the ceiling. Then, I noticed something…. something black, something big…
It was a spider (>0<)!!
I remember, we had a terrible summer in this house few years ago. Many many huge spiders showed up one night, and we had to fight them until midnight. The thing is, both of us HATE insects - including spiders. We were both crying but had to kill all the spiders otherwise we couldn’t go to bed.

Those spiders were really huge. They were about the size of my face!! With the legs, of course. And the bodies were covered with thick black hair. Taranchula??
Next day we called pest control to spray all over the house. Since then, we started to spray insecticide all around the house in early spring each year. This year we haven’t done it, but we will do it this weekend to kill all the spider eggs before they hatch.
Fortunately there was only one last night. Our house has very high ceiling and it’s impossible to reach the spider. We had to drop the spider to the floor first, so my husband started to throw small balls to the spider.
After 1 hour…. the spider was still there. My husband was starting to be tired. We took the largest ladder from the garage, and tried to reach the spider by climbing up the ladder and using a combined two brooms. Finally, he could get the spider down….! It dropped on the floor, and tried to run away. Then I was in panic.
My husband and I are not trying to be cute, but we are truly truly afraid of insects - especially the one with this size. I was too scared to get close to the spider and kill it. I screamed, he screamed, and finally he became a man… - grabbed a slipper and bashed the spider. It’s over.
Afterwards my body was so warm: maybe from the thrilling and screaming. If there is one spider, I believe there should be more around this house. I’d better keep my eyes open…

I can feel the difference in air… it’s getting warmer, especially during the day. I don’t need to turn on the little heater on my foot any more.
It’s so nice to feel the warm air, as this house gets really cold. I used to be strong against cold climate, but I guess my body is changing, I couldn’t let go my thick jacket everyday. It’s surprising to see people wearing camisole or half sleeve T: I’m wearing a thick coat and people around me are wearing summer clothes.
It was a lovely weekend. The weather was great. I’ve been pretty busy the past weeks, helping out my husband’s work and also contacting his clients to discuss about the jobs, etc. Also I had to go to see doctor several times, and I realized my Medicare card had been expired quite long time ago. :p I had to go to the Medicare centre with my passport. At the same time I transfered my card to my husband’s, so that it’s easier for us to do the claim and other things.
Soon my friends are coming to my house, and I’m making chocolate cake!

I passed my car to the buyer today and completed all the ownership transfer process. Now I just need to wait until my new car is ready to be picked up…
Oh, by the way the dealer called me again and asked …
“Ume, did you want the SILVER or SILVER LEAF?”
…… SILVER, please. I will be really mad if they mistake the color again (@_@)
Before I passed my car to the buyer, I asked a cleaning company to wash my car. I wanted the car to be sparkling clean before giving to someone. I’ve known the cleaner for quite a long time as they clean my office, and they do a really great job each time.
It was the first time to ask them for washing a car … well, I’ve never asked anyone to wash my car before, as I normally do it myself. Maybe that’s the reason, but my car was always little dusty and I really thought I needed to replace the whole front screen. The front screen was not transparent anymore, and I thought it was because of the damage from the strong sunlight in WA. :p
After the car wash….. I was amazed! I thought I was driving a brand new car. There was no single dust, the little scratches around key hole were gone, the black body was shining, and…. the front screen was very very transparent. You wouldn’t know if there is a glass in front of you. This is how pro cleans…. Unbelievable.
Oh, I totally recommend this cleaner! They are very friendly husband and wife, and the wife is Japanese. Their website is still under construction, but I will update it later when it’s out.
