2. the april fool's breakdance prank
3. smelling the aesop soap and seeing the starry eye reflections every time we go to
the sea circus bathroom
4. barista training with the awesome 5 senses coffee guys [we love you!]
5. phenomenal dress up efforts [j.a. shipping her princess barbie dress over from
china... m.m. checking in a mascot lion's head for a casual 200 sing dollars at
changi airport... c.m. [stylist extraordinaire] bringing a suitcase dedicated to outfits
and having costume changes throughout the opening night party
6. late night lock-ins with old friends and new friends
7. chocolate mousse & hot churros [not necessarily together.... but, then again!]
8. brunch tastings with our kind bali friends [jh - 'please can you come try our new
steak sandwich?' jp - 'not a problem. i'm on my way']
9. wedding party JOY
10. spending christmas eve with a long table of people that we didn't know this time last

hello brunch
