Weekends

Caught stomach flu and had to take 2 days of MC. Spent Wed night puking and shitting. Actually I kinda asked for it because I showered, had dinner, and went to sleep straight away (with wet hair) because I was so tired. Plus I slept on the floor so my posture was bad. No wonder I woke up rushing to the toilet to puke -_-

I’m all well now and today is the last day of my very long weekend T_T
Didn’t do much these days but rest. Went out with Darilene yesterday though! 😀

Seafood ramen from Ajisen!
Much prefer their spicy stuff but 🙁

Sides we shared

This shouldn’t be surprising but I was anyway; I planned on just buying a pair of skinny jeans for work but I ended up spending so much on other stuff as well. So I made my very first purchase from Forever21 as well as bought my first pair of skinny jeans. That’s 2 firsts!

But seriously, it’s always so fun buying stuff with her because we are both at it and I know I can always trust her judgement. Went to drink iced tea after all the walking and when we wanted to leave, one of the exits to the mrt was locked.

Normal human mind: Might have to cab home
My filled-with-horror-movies-mind: Oh shit what if we get stuck and have to spend the night in the mall

Shut up.

The previous weekend was more happening 😀
Met You You on Friday (5 Oct) after work! Queued ages for Sho Teppan at Orchard Ion.

The seating is like a bar counter and there’s a stove before you to cook food on your own. Forgot the actual names but I had the chicken rice and You You had the salmon rice. Both came with miso soup, egg and salad.

Not ours but it looked good so I took a picture.
Some people had soup bases in their pots to cook and they just dipped the meat and nommed


Cooking!!!

Actually, both of us were starving but we found the food to be pretty meh. Nobody taught us how to control the stove as well so our food got burnt and the chao da taste overpowered everything. Not sure if it’s because of that or if the food’s really not nice. I got tired of it after a few mouthfuls. I’d rather eat Haiwanese chicken rice.

What an unsatisfying meal! All that waiting and queueing for nothing.
We exited and right beside Sho Teppan was Soup Spoon so we decided to give it a try 😛


Shared this between us for $7.50!
Actually I don’t even know what it’s called, just randomly ordered the first one they let us try.

Don’t know why it looks like curry here but the true color is like the first photo. It’s like pasta sauce actually!
With bits of penne pasta, potato, chicken, mushrooms and loads of other stuff. Super nice 😀

Anyway by then it was pretty late already so all we did was look around Prologue before going home 🙁

On Saturday (6 Oct), watched Premium Rush with Andre and Dian 😀
I really liked it! Would give it around an 8.5/10. Wanted to watch a second movie but no slots because everyone either had to come late/leave early 🙁

Had dinner with Darilene after that!
We just sat down and talked nonstop for 4 hours straight hehe yay.

Had potluck with my family on Sunday (7 Oct)! 😀
Sundays are fatdays. I’m either eating out with my parents and bro, at my grandmother’s house, or at some family gathering/bbq/etc (which I rarely blog about because I’m more interested in eating ok) hehehe.

Priscilla baked strawberry cheesecake (she bakes the best cakes!) and Evelyn brought 3 tubs of Island Cremery ice cream over, in addition to all the dishes that everyone had already cooked.

It was also sort of a celebration for all the October babies – my aunt, cousin’s bf, bro and me! 😀

Backtrack even further to 28 Sep, which was the last time I saw all 3 of my girls together. It was a Friday but I was on MC (ikr but I was ill for real the previous night, don’t know why keep falling sick these days -_-). Basically just sat down at Just Acia and chatted over dinner 😀

This is like my new addiction hahaha

Dinner with Amos with on 26 Sep, Wednesday at Bugis’s Ajisen! Actually initial plan was for just for him to buy a jacket for his Brisbane trip but then as usual… sigh. I mean, it’s Bugis! A shopping haunt! How can you expect me not to succumb to temptation right?!


Really liked my seafood tom yum ramen ^^

Anyway, bro’s birthday was on 11 Oct aka the very day I caught stomach flu and I feel bad that we didn’t get to do much… but here’s the blackforest cake which I had a small slice of!


Okay this is more like a picdump post hehehe. And my heart hasn’t really been in blogging recently so most of the pictures are from my phone. Hopefully I’ll start updating regularly again because I do have loads of things to say all the time, it’s always the mood/time/feeling!

So much gratitude and love for all the people I’ve mentioned here ❤
Always excited to see them whenever I can!


Living it up

The adventure at Upper Thomson Road continues! From last Thursday. We did have a rough plan of which 3 stops to visit this time but sometimes things just fall into place perfectly on their own 🙂 Appetiser wasn’t open so we moved on to the main course!

best western pasta grill

You You’s chicken baked rice which was good! Saw loads of chicken inside.
But she says the spaghetti from our previous visit is better.

My grilled chicken spaghetti ($5.50) which was sooo heavenly and perfect 😀

Funny thing is we both agreed that what we ordered the previous time all tasted better despite all the pancakes we had right before. Oh btw the iced lemon tea at Long House is really good too, at just $1.20! Had it for all my 3 visits ^^ Moving on to our next stop!

wafflelicious

Love that there were no other customers around until later.
Though it’s also an indication whether it’s good or not but I love quiet cafes.

Original waffle with latte ice cream. The ice cream was nice! The only other unconventional flavour was “wildberry” though it tasted like regular berries. So actually they don’t really have wide variety of ice cream flavours. Milk tea seemed interesting but while it was written on the menu, it wasn’t anywhere in the display. Other waffle flavours were cinnamon, chocolate etc but we stuck with the original so that the flavours don’t clash or become overpowering.

Original waffle with cookies n cream. I wanted to go for something unique but they didn’t have much so I stuck with my usual. Have definitely tasted better. The waffles themselves weren’t that good either. Even before it touched the ice cream, it was so hard to cut because it wasn’t crispy enough. Far cry from the regular waffles at NYP and the belgian ones from Ice Cream Man (which we left aside for 30mins because we were filming).

Anyway, each set costed more than $6+ ($3 for the waffle and $3+ for a scoop of gelato, depending on the flavours) so I don’t think it’s very worth it. Didn’t finish mine. Love the walls though hahaha.

Always research before trying out a new place! I did Google for reviews before and everyone said that Wafflelicious is mediocre but it seemed interesting so just thought I would try. Just like how I read that Salted Caramel’s trademark is not the salted caramel but the earl grey ice cream, then found out for myself that it’s true 😀 so yes, trust what you read, like my blog 😀

Last stop!!


Can’t remember the name because we randomly walked in. It could have been Habitat Coffee. Also along the same stretch of road. Quite a diverse menu from beverages to brunch sets to pastas to cakes and desserts.

You You had iced chococolate ($5.90) and I ordered iced flavoured mocha ($6.90 large) but I didn’t say iced so they gave me this… *shrugs* but if you wrote “iced flavoured coffee” on your menu then I assume there’s only the cold version what, right???

And the place was freezing cold which means my coffee wasn’t even piping hot, just lukewarm, when I got it 🙁 It soon became cold and I didn’t finish it either. Nice design though. But I’m certain we both have had better coffee and iced chocolate.

Took a walk around the area then we parted ways. Forgot to take pictures together!! Hehe love her ❤
Didn’t even mind that not all the food was satisfactory because I love the experience 😀
Sometimes all you need is food and your best friend 😉
