Back after neglecting this blog for months.
Just wanna blog a little bit of my life that's particularly noteworthy as of late.

Our group anniversary. 
Even though it was a few months back, I still want to blog about the food.

Bread, bread and more bread!

Different types of cheese

Seafood corner

I don't think it was value for money but hey that's me. 
I like my buffets to have more staples and less exotic stuffs. 
All I really remember was that strange Indian rice 
which had a pungent taste because of the spices. 
The seafood selection was miserable.
I do like the pastries corner which had all the different types of cheese.

Had an impromptu outing at Robert Timms.
I enjoyed the food and the conversation we had.
It was nice catching up.

The portion is really huge!

Criss-cut fries

Celebrated Hui Ru's birthday at Amanda's house.
I was excited when she suggested a cookout because I like the idea too
although I probably enjoyed the previous cookout during X'mas more since it was less efficient.
We went grocery shopping together and prepared the ingredients from scratch.
I really like the cooking we did at our clique chalet too. 

Our masterpieces!


One week later it was Minhui's birthday.
My poly clique brought me to a music cafe that has live performances every night.
I've never been to one before so it was certainly an eye-opener.
Of course not all the acts were great. 
But there's one guy called Ming Yuan who is good at what he does.
It's almost like listening to 933 fm with his caliber of talent in mc-ing.
Haha I can see why Minhui likes him so much.

Another first. and another birthday.
Went kite-flying and picnicking at Marina Barrage for Gerold's birthday.




Oh something random.
I did some cooking a few days back with the help of my mum.


At least it looks consumable right? Haha

Monday, November 19, 2012 ♥

Recently I've been thinking about stuffs.
I guess I'm just not the kind of person to share.
It's never been in my personality.
I like listening to other people's stories but I don't share mine. 
Don't hold it against me.

Monday, July 30, 2012 ♥

Hello it's me. I'm back again.

For years, I hardly exercise. 
So I went for a jog which I haven't done for a long long time.
I was put to shame by uncles who ran faster than me haha. 
Ugh it's disheartening to know I'm out of shape. 
I think I should just stick to swimming. 
It's perfect since the weather these days is so warm and humid.

Went back to Thai Pan for a crab feast with my uni clique.
The butter crabs and mango tofu are as tasty as ever. 
It's good I have a bunch of crab-loving friends. 
We were even thinking of driving to JB for seafood.

Caught the fireworks at the Bay with Minhui. 
I tried to ballot twice for NDP but no such luck. Oh well.

Met up with Shu Ling last week for Korean bbq buffet at His.tori.
The service and ventilation is wonderful. I hate it when the air is so stuffy.
No pics because I was so hungry I forgot to snap them lol.

Aaaaannd the main reason why I blogged.
SHINee World 2 is coming to Singapore on December 8th!
Yup another concert. Excited hahaha!
Should I go? Most probably I will. 
Maaaan I'm such a fangirl. :)

Wednesday, June 20, 2012 ♥

Looks like I'm slow on the uptake but
I came back to find blogger has a whole new look. 
Took a while for me to get used to it and start blogging. 
This is just like Facebook's timeline.
Which I think is a dumb idea really. 
You have to look at the left, then the right
and my eyes are criss-crossing to the point it hurts. 
I think I'll just stick to my old layout for now. 

Time for updates!
January is the month of departures.
A bunch of my friends are going overseas for exchanges and stuffs. 
Hm I was envious. 
Because they are all enjoying themselves while I'm stuck in Singapore. 
And I don't really have extra money to be going overseas too
since I'm paying for my university fees myself. 
Which I'm very proud of while at the same time I feel like it's a burden I'm carrying. 

February came along. 
and it was a busy month with me preparing for my prelims. 
And then it's March. My birthday month haha. 
Celebrated my birthday at Ma Maison with ten-ten.

Beef stroganoff


Thanks everybody for the polaroid camera!! 
I can now cross another item off my wish list. ♥ 
The first thing I experimented with my new camera 
was to badger my family to pose as my models. Hahahaha. 
My dad was pretty excited because he hasn't seen 
a polaroid camera in action for a long time now. 

April and May were torturous exam months. 
It's the time of the year when I dropped off the grid. 
But I'm not really studying noooo. 
I'm procrastinating day by day until I reach the dreaded cramming period 
during which I regretted not starting my revision earlier 
and promising myself I will do it the next time round.
And then next semester, I'll repeat this whole cycle again. 
Why don't I learn? *exasperated* 

June rolled around. It's summer time! 
Met up with my entire poly clique for the first time in a long while. 
We had dinner at 15 minutes. 



The food was okay but the live band playing that night was really good. 
I've been listening to classics like The Cranberries ever since I got back. 
Maybe I'm alone on this but I realize how nostalgic it was, 
the times we ate lunch together in the business school canteen, 
listening to Derek's bitching about his craptastic project mates. 
It's an indescribable feeling 
with good music playing in the background, 
sharing stories, laughing. 

Another gathering with the China gang. 
Seriously we need to change the name. 
We had dinner at Yayoiken. 
We got to sit at the booth with the tatami mats! 


Cheese hamburg set


I enjoyed the food. Definitely don't mind coming back for more! 
After which we headed down to Clarke Quay's Crazy Elephant for some beer. 

When holidays roll around,
it means I can catch up on my shows!
A few months back, I got addicted to this drama 
called Startling by each step (步步惊心)
It's a good conversation starter for my uni clique every morning lecture haha.
If you know me, I don't really cry when watching shows.
And my tears flowed nonstop when I watched the ending
to the point where it got a little embarrassing 
because I was watching it in the living room 
and my mom was giving me the 'wtf' look.

Right now I'm very interested in levitation photography 
thanks to this Japanese lady, Natsumi Hayashi. 
Check out her website here
It's more than just jump shots, it encompasses much more. 
Her poses have much more flow and depth to them 
and you have to jump without too much facial expression. 
Unfortunately I have no awesome DSLR camera 
with fabulous shutter speed so I can't do it.
Nevertheless I felt contented just appreciating the nice photos she took.

November was certainly hectic.
Celebrating birthdays, meetups, interviews, all those tests and assignments.
Had a great time shopping with Pauline!
It's been a while since I shopped around without feeling tired.
And then we had a simple dinner at MOF.
Chatted for quite a while, I didn't even realize my food was getting cold.

Went for Abercrombie and Fitch interview.
The amount of times I've visited their office is no joke.
What kind of a stupid HR system do they have in place?
No wonder Abercrombie is losing market share in America.
That's why they must search for profits elsewhere by exploiting overseas markets like Singapore.

Luckily I have Sing Yee for company at work.
Makes it all the more tolerable (plus the $$$).
Had an early brunch at Pasta de Waraku.
We were so early we had the whole restaurant to ourselves.

Chicken and Mushroom Pasta

Bacon and Egg Pasta

December
Caught the movie You're the Apple of my Eye twice. Not a bad show.

And finally, I paid a visit to zouk!
Before we went in, we bought a bottle of whiskey and mixers since zouk doesn't have free-flow housepour.
The dance floor in Phuture is tiny.
How do you expect people to dance when they barely have space to stand?
Plus they stopped the music around 3am.
I haven't clubbed to my heart's content yet! LOL



Celebrated Christmas at Wild Honey.
I love love their english breakfast. It's so lip-smacking good.
Ordered their European breakfast which was recommended by my friends.

Poached eggs, sauteed mushrooms and prosciutto

The portion is a little on the miserable side since I was there for dinner
but the taste is exquisite.
It felt like heaven when I tasted their poached eggs.
I would love to patronize them again!

The very next day I met up with my poly clique @ Nex for a post Christmas celebration.
Dined at Kabe no Ana. Which was nothing special.


Walked around for a bit before heading home.
It was nice meeting up with Michelle, Min Hui, Benjamin, Xiu Hun and the rest.
Haven't seen them for quite some time.


Then it's New Year and I spent the last few seconds of 2011 with Yuewen and the rest at 2D1N Soju Bang!

Side dishes

I had ddeokbokki for the first time.

Mmmmm all the meat!

The ramyun stew was the best part. The soup was yummy!


The beef was also good.
Makes me wonder what first grade Korean beef tastes like.

Sizzling!

When can I visit Korea? I have so much things to clear off my to-do list! Sigh.

Sunday, November 20, 2011 ♥

Why don't you turn around?
You must feel tired. Why do you keep loving me?
Since I don't know a way to give back, I made this song for you.


My fave 2pm song.

Oct 24
Met up with the girls at Tamp Mac for Gerold's present.
I'm jealous. The diary looks really pretty.
And I finally got the chance to ride in Sandra's car.
Ok what. Very zai.

Oct 28
Celebrated Gerold's birthday with dinner at Thai Pan.
The food was simply delicious. and it's really value for money too.






And the highlight of the day.. Crabs!

Butter crabs

Chilli crabs

It was a rather amusing day for me.
Because YW kept making bloopers here and there.
I, myself, had to go through some serious self-restraint too.
I did all that I could to keep my mouth shut.

After dinner, we went to Teo Heng for some karaoke.
It was totally enjoyable because everyone was really high,
especially during all the clubbing songs.

We trooped down to a Hong Kong cafe for some supper.
I ♥ eating supper on rainy days, it makes me feel all warm inside.

Steaming hot dumplings on a cold day..


Oct 29
Met up with Shu Ling unnie for the Passion Walk.
The helpers spammed us with a lot of freebies like popcorn, ice cream and beverages.
Took some photos to commemorate this day!




The walk was rather enriching because I didn't know
they have street performers around the Bay
like belly dancers (lol at despo guys queuing up for pics),
musicians putting up saxophone performances
and people taking tango classes by the river.

Walking around the whole of Marina Bay is no joke.
But it was worth it because I had great company.
Just walking and walking.. with no destination in mind.
We had no place to reach, nowhere to go to.

Headed down to Parco for some ramen at Nantsuttei.
Apart from the saltiness, it was quite delicious.
It has this unique soup base of roast garlic oil.
When I first saw it, I was slightly taken aback.
Because the ramen was drenched in black.
Almost like an oil spill had happened in the bowl.

Sinful.

Headed home after that and slept like a pig.
Unsurprisingly, I woke up with aching legs the next day.

Oct 11
It was freezing cold that day.
If I didn't know better, I would have thought Singapore
is experiencing the onset of winter.
Pauline and I decided to grab some much-needed lunch after our lecture.
Turns out we were both in the mood for Japanese food.
So we walked into a random restaurant called
Yaki Yaki Bo Teppanyaki at Jurong Point.
They served us hot green tea which we drank gratefully.
I finally satisfied my craving for omurice!

Oct 15
It's been a while since I took the cablecar to Sentosa.
Super excited can!! Kept taking photos throughout the short-lived journey.





Celebrated Hui Ru's birthday at Chili's.


Since there was a significant queue,
we took some photos around Resorts World Sentosa.
We spent a long time in Candylicious, gawking at the variety of sweets.
I was famished by then. The food couldn't come quickly enough.

Guiltless Chicken Platter

Afterwards it's back to our usual hangout, Tampines McDonald's.
Amanda sprang this question on me,
"What do you look for in a guy?"
I gave her the rather patronizing answer of
"Must see the feeling".
To be honest, I do have a certain set of standards I abide by.
But the thing is, it changes with age.
When you were young, you wanted someone tall, rich and handsome.
As you grow older, you realize that's actually unrealistic
and you settled for less.
Or rather personality becomes more important.
The takeaway point is that it's probably easier
if you ask me what I do NOT want to see in a guy.
Since my dislikes stay relatively constant.

Oct 19
Simple dinner and movie at Downtown East
with Shanshan and Yuewen.
Anna Faris looks amazing in What's Your Number.
Chris Evans was charming too.
I wish they showed us his butt instead of the other guy's. XD

Oct 21
Celebrated Min Hui's birthday at Out of the Pan.
It was located near the fountain; pretty great spot for people-watching.
I ordered the B.L.T crepes.
Not too bad although it was a little dry.

No it's not po piah..

Then we trooped down to Ben & Jerry's for some ice cream.
It consisted of six flavors: Strawberry Cheesecake,
Toffee-Do Crunch, Sweet Cream and Cookies, Mango Sorbet
and I assume Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz?

At first it looks appetizing.

Just imagine the calories..

And then it looked disgusting towards the end,
melting into a gooey puddle.

Banana Split

Min Hui and Benjamin did something totally unexpected.
Initially it was just random banter.
Min Hui said she wanted to do something wild to remember her 21st by
and then it turned into a dare of some sorts.
Benjamin asked for a girl's number (didn't get it)
and Min Hui asked for a waiter's number (same result).
The end doesn't matter because the entire process was quite exciting!
Like watching a show! Oops! :P

I applaud them for their courage!
Knowing me, I won't ever do something like this. Unless I'm drunk.
