Long weekend

hello everybirdie! LOL I'm currently typing this at work (what's new) cos it's just been depressing having to come back after such a luxurious long weekend there's nothing to do as usual -.-"

sooo I had an awesome long weekend! finally had the whole weekend to myself which was pretty awesome given that I'm forever stuck with tuition and what nots, esp on Saturday mornings.

random nail pictures from my Instagram!

simply cos I've been on a nail spree for the past couple of weeks :D

I'm still trying to convince myself that I can become a beauty blogger or basically a lifestyle blogger since I like all things girly - make-up, nail polishes, food, taking pictures etc etc

speaking of which, the polaroids I ordered a couple of weeks back for the friends & myself from Qoo10 have arrived and... ta-dah!

STOP JUDGING ME

ordered like 45 boxes in total and 16 of them were for myself /guilty

BUT when I posted all these on Instagram, immediately kena judged hahahahaha!

everytime I post new nail polishes or something that requires money, forever kena judged lor.

eat shit and die you people! hahaha I like can liao hmpf!

haven't used any of the films yet cos my social life is still zero after I have started work D;

so spent the last day before the public holiday late in waking up so had to call a cab and cab to Sengkang.

along the way  I discovered Ya Kun at Compass Point! but was running late and there was a long queue so didn't buy.

emo-ed a few metres away and discovered... STARBUCKS!

hehe bought a pain au chocolat and redeemed a venti-sized salted caramel mocha.

BLISS.

Life was awesome that morning! LOL

had to read through a bloody research paper and while reading I discovered this..

WTF I KNOW RIGHT LOL

wah lau I almost spit out my precious coffee when I read it cos firstly, published papers means should have been vetted before hand right?

so how did Fick's law become Fuck law? -.-"

scientists gone mad hahahahaha!

that afternoon went to try KFC's new rice set at Simei.

not very nice and very expensive.

pls don't buy it :(

headed to Bugis to meet bff and Laura after work cos Laura wanted to have Ah Loy Thai.

dinner, bitched, had ice cream again at Tom's Palette (Salted Egg Yolk YUM!) and then we made our way to Butter for GAJA! this K-pop event happening every Thursday at Butter Factory's Fash room.

heh. xuanzhi came with his friends to find us and then they opened a bottle of Belvedere.

and then we dance dance dance dan dance, fantastic baby! hahahahahah!

no la, that night beat stupid Beat Burger hands down cos the songs were very up to date.

BUT, as a typical Singaporean, I'm gonna complain about 1 thing: why did the DJ play ang moh songs too ah? -.-"

next time I lend you my iPhone ok, just grab whatever songs are inside. ALL K-POP, not that shit song *coughs*CallMeMaybe*coughs*.

but... $15 + free drink cannot complain already lol!

Laura left quite early then the rest of us just continued partying on the dance floor hahahaha.

so the bf came to pick me up and we gave everyone a lift home lol.

something super epic happened like just moments before sinhui and I left the place: we heard the opening part of Crayon lol then just abandoned all things and just headed back in to get our crayon!

for that, dear DJ, you are forgiven for playing Carly Rae Jepson that night hehe.

slept the entire Hari Raya Haji away by waking up only at 3pm.

lunched or rather, ate food with my dad and bf only at close to 5 then nua-ed at home by catching up on my To The Beautiful You episodes!

next day bf and I went on a date.

I wanted to bring him out for brunch at Dempsey cos we had the car and he hasn't been there before.

went to P.S. Cafe just in time before the brunch last order.

 

FOOD!

Eggs Benedict 

Truffle Shoe String Fries nom!

Fish Croquette Eggs Benedict

omg mad love I tell you! my first time trying Eggs Benedict.

I know, damn sua ku right but everytime on Instagram or on other people's blogs I'd see Eggs Benedict on the menu and I'm like "I wanna have it too T.T"

the one at P.S Cafe was.. nice although pricey.

aiyah, everything there was pricey.

our total bill came up just short of $100.

yes, for 2 mains, 2 drinks and 1 side :X

bf said we just paid extra for the ambience hahaha!

hmmm would I go back again? YES. but, sit indoors this time.

cos our drinks had 'extra ingredients' courtesy of Mother Nature and it started to pour just as we were about to leave.

I die die also wanted to claim the change back but seeing that it was gonna rain, I was like screw this and we left.

made it back to the car in time before it started to rain very heavily.

PS Cafe

28B Harding Road  Singapore 249549

Last order for weekend brunch at 4pm and they don't take reservations!

Free parking ^.~

so after the meal we went to Far East Plaza cos my shoe strap broke and I bought a new pair of wedges :/

then shopped awhile before going to Bugis to meet Qianhui, Trevor and William.

we went to play darts at Bugis+ and ordered a tower of beer wahahahah!

I cannot remember the name of the beer but it was nice and sweet!

I like :P

went for church the next day and after that lunched at Boon Tong Kee along River Valley Road cos I had chicken rice craving.

meat was very dry :(

sighhhhh. at night went Bukit Merah with the family to celebrate my mum's birthday and we had crabs!

WHEEEEEEEEEE~

alrighty, that's all for my awesome long weekend.

have a great week, or whatever that is left, ahead!

:)

Food escapades

HI :D

just a heads up, do not read this when you're hungry cos everything's all about food.

I'm currently on a diet (that doesn't involve exercise WTF i know right) lol by simply cutting out fast food from my diet but uh... I just had Mcdonalds Samurai burger for lunch complete with fries :(

so... *throws diet out of the window* LEGGO! :)

couple of weeks back met the cousin for dinner and catch up at nex after work.

we had Jap food! bloody expensive but relatively alright.

altho the portions were humongous and we should have just shared la and saved the $$ hahaha.

My meal

The cousin's meal

Sogurt

we headed for yoghurt cos dinner was too sinful hahaha and ice cream was just.... a bad thing altogether la so chose the lesser evil and had yoghurt instead.

Sogurt's yoghurt is quite yummy! can give it a try the next time you're around nex or something.

you just dispense however much yoghurt you want then add the toppings yourself.

the staff will then weigh it then ta-dah you pay!!

and.. I finally paid a visit to Paris Baguette at Wisma Atria.

like.. finally!! met Laura & bff for brunch one Saturday after my tuition.

Look at Owner's Name xD

so the pastries and cakes looked uberly heavenly. no pics cos.. I was lazy :D

but we all ordered mains and they were bloody over-priced as usual.

I mean $18 for an omelette :x I can buy how many trays of eggs with that uh?

and yet still sucked into paying for it ORZ

Laura & I got the same main. Omelette with feta cheese, wedges and salad.

Sinhui got the croissant with mushroom and bacon. This was awesome!

I'm itching to go back and try the pudding cos I only had a mouthful from Sinhui's that day.

we were too full to stay for dessert so we went off to seek for.. bubble tea hahaha to sit down, chillax and bitch a little.

It was William's birthday a couple of weeks back and the gang wanted to go try french cuisine and we went to Saveur.

this place is so freaking awesome I tell you.

mains were reasonable, I mean foie gras at $9 only?! WHUUUUUUT.

the bill came up to $111 for 5 of us and.. that's alright given we had starters, soup and a main each.

We all had different mains. From top left clockwise: Duck confit, poached egg with lean pork, steak and some chicken thingy with rice hahaha. Sorry, forgot the name :x

Foie Gras. Heavenly.

I think my only grouse was that waiting time was crap!

we queued for 1 hr and a half just to get a table and by then I was... mad hungry.

so my advice would be, either be there uber early (they don't take reservations btw) OR come at a later timing before their last orders at 9.30pm.

oh and portions aren't very big so just a heads up!

Dessert at Bugis Junction cos we were still hungry! :3 My mango and sago with pomelo

Caesar salad with chicken for dinner 1 day after work from my house kopitiam lol

met the rest again for dinner at Ah Loy Thai this time cos I didn't go with them last time.

so while at Saveur I said I wanted to go here for dinner.

so go we did hahahah!

met the guys at Tanah Merah mrt after work then headed to Kembangan to force Kel to drive :P

Food we ordered to share

Us Part 1

Us Part 2

it was Rach's birthday that day so everyone was like Whatsapping her the food to make her hungry LOL!

after that we went to Tom's Palette which is opposite Ah Loy Thai for ice cream! xD

My salted egg and yuzu ice cream!

the salted egg ice cream is.to.die.for.

OH.MY.GAWD.

everyone, shelve your diet plans and just order this!

so awesome and yummy! plus they even had 10% off for students and my cup of ice cream only cost me $2.90.

cheap anot?! hehehe.

another random pic of the gado-gado I had with my mum one Sunday after church.

praise God for allowing me to spend much more time with my mum cos she accompanies me to church weekly and after that we'll head out for some lunch followed by shopping.

tai-tai life, I like ;)

Ayam Penyet restaurant at Far East Plaza!

so the bf is like finally back from his more than month-long trip to Taiwan.

he even took a short trip to Japan and went to USJ without me :(

I was... semi-devastated because that is the land of all Woodstocks and he didn't buy me a 1.5m tall Woodstock home :(

BUT HE DID BUY ME THIS :P

...Ippudo's cup noodles from Japan's 7-11! :D

awesome or what? I specifically asked for this cos I tried it the last time I was in Japan and I was mind-blown away by how ingenious the Japanese are.

Ippudo's cup noodles in the packaging

All the condiments and noodles

Just whack and add everything inside...

..and ta-dah! After 3 minutes.

Here's a copy of the one from the restaurant at Mandarin hotel that I had with my mum after church some Sunday.

I drank every single bit of the soup base.

it was.... heavenly. hahahaha.

I still have like 3 more sitting at home + my USJ Snoopy cup noodles.

can't wait to try the Snoopy ones!

the fishcake has Woodstock on them OMFG :O

and another random pic of the ngoh hiang I had at Simpang Bedok last Friday!

I didn't have tuition last Saturday so Laura and I decided to have brunch to catch-up and we went to Epicurious at Robertson Quay.

I've tried their dinner courses before and while it wasn't that impressive (I'm just a very hard person to please la hahaha!), it wasn't that bad either if you get what I mean?

soooooo had an awesome weekend with Laura. I mean company was good, food was relatively good too but... they got Laura's drink wrong D:

The left one clearly doesn't look like Pink Lemonade

This is the correct one hahaha!

My omelette

Laura's baked egg

FOOOOOOOOOD :D

Instagrammed my omelette

Close up of Laura's awesome egg! ZOMG.

we chatted for a bloody long time. think it was close to 3 plus before we decided to leave hahah! and then we went to All Good Things Cafe nearby.

but was fairly disappointed with how small it was :(

and having to walk there for so long... it kinda made it really not worth it haix.

BUT!! This souffle cheesecake is da bomb!

Albeit pricey. This cost $6.50 leh.

Let's do this more often L! :D

so I went to the hawker centre opp Chomp Chomp with the bf and my mum for dinner.

had the zi char again.

PUMPKIN PASTE PRAWN WO LAI LE!!!! :D 

This.is.heaven.

and I went to Bugis Junction on Sunday after lunch at Nihon Mura cos... I had diarrhea in the morning and didn't go to church :( <--- LOL I have no idea what I'm talking about here.

so I bought my belts from Bugis Village and went over to Bugis Junction to buy Twelve Cupcakes for the bf to try!

HOMG. SO FRIGGIN' EXPENSIVE YOU TINY PIECES OF FLOUR + BUTTER + CREAM + SUGAR!

But I am so sucked in by such things so I bought a box of six for the bf and a box of 3 for my mum to devour at my grandmother's house lol.

Went to meet Lirong, Juyin & Gan tie for our long awaited date at Dean & Deluca.

Juyin and I got stuck at Dhoby Ghaut MRT for some stupid reason.

couldn't board the northbound train at all and we just decided to walk to Orchard Central hahaha!

1st impression of the place: I like it.. I mean it's simple and it wasn't crowded even though we were expecting it to be.

maybe there was a reason why it wasn't that crowded hmmmmmm.

Lirong did the ordering

Waiting for our food! :D

My crappy $6 mango iced tea that had no taste :3

Grilled Chicken Sandwich

Bacon and egg burger

 

Up close of the burger. Quite nice actually.

Singaporeans' No.1 favourite hobby - Taking photos of food

Lirong is hard at work lol

American breakfast

Not that bad, but not that fantastic either

Berries and flapjacks! Yummiest dish for the night!

So soft.. and fluffy and.... airy LOL

I felt quite cheated actually.

Dean & Deluca was so raved about by many and yet the food was really meh.

you know we all had to wrestle to cut the sandwich up?

I mean I know it was a baguette bread but... how come the chicken also tasted like rubber?

was very turned off by that dish after taking a bite, I mean, crunching on the bread and attempting to eat the chicken.

BIG SIGH D:

and the drinks... :(

Juyin & I were adding sugar syrup like mad cos there was really no taste in our teas.

at the end of the day, I gave up and just... drank it like flavoured water like that :X $6 *heart pain*

nvm, it was the company that mattered :)
