Paul x Sunday brunch

before the boy flew to Phuket for 5 days of fun
iced cappuccino 
J's chicken sandwich
My yummylicious large omelette with ham, sauteed mushrooms and potatoes :) I love anything saute!
and a fruit tart for the sweet tooth :D
 happy 75th!

Spent the rest of Sunday filming for drama everywhere from Arts museum to Fort canning to Sakae to Grace's place till midnight... and we are only half done :( It was really tedious and tiring but we had many good laugh. Kudos to the professionals out there for all our drama series!!
 I'll post the behind the scenes if I have the time, till then! xx

Just make sure you don't stop dreaming

Saveur at Purvis street :) 
 
I've heard so much ravings about their angel hair pasta and it definitely didn't let us down! On top of that, it's cheap - $3.90 for sherry minced pork and sakura ebi :D
Starters - confit of salmon with apple and fennel salad. a little bit like raw to half-cooked kinda taste, i love sashimi so I simply love this too!
J's confit of duck with orange segments and saute shittake mushrooms was really well done too! The texture of the meat was really tender and we just had to wow at every mouth!

Ending the night at my favourite ice-cream parlour - Tom's palette
We tried a new chocolatey flavor - chocolate w pb, caramel & nuts and it was wayyyy too sweet god. I never really like caramel. I still prefer granny's favourite or chocolate stout for sure :D

Happy long weekends to everyone out there! :)

Be kind to yourself

After some time, or rather a long time, I decide to diagnose myself with final year/semester syndrome after seeing signals of some repetitive symptoms on myself lol. Our lives seems to be moving at a frightening pace. When I think back or see something, it's either months or years ago....and in less than 2 months time, I'll officially be a graduate.

It was something I used to be looking forward to, but it seems otherwise now :/ I'm.. starting to appreciate my free and easy schedule for the past 23 years but I guess it's time to slowly put all these behind, start typing and mass send my resumes and get ready for the next game. In other words, building a new future :)

It's interesting to read and learn about others and take time to realize about ourselves. We usually don't sit close and listen to our heart but let each precious day and moments past. So in late recent, here's what I found myself liking or wanting to do:

1. Have a cuppa of coffee with favourite book/magazine
Sometimes when I am free, I'll head to my favourite coffee cafe, get a cup of my favourite coffee and pick up magazines to read but I guess with more work and school these days, it's just coffee and textbooks haha.

2. Cook - I drooled seeing striking salads on some blogs and went to the supermarket to get groceries to make grilled salmon salad hehe tastes so good! And with figs, which feels like softer and sweeter version of dragon food. I want to be eating more healthily!

3. Relax
I haven't really had the time to. I've either been working or tuition-ing too much. But I won't complain since I had 2 staycations at Robertson Quay and MBS recently! :) But when I have the time, I watch shows and to be honest, I have been watching quite abit. The new normal and new girl are definitely my new favorites on top of the last season on himym

4. Exercise
I don't deny! It's just something that makes you feel good. I enjoy running, I try to do it once a week and get some fresh air! It just makes me feel better and happier :) especially when you have a bad day... (or carbo overloaded day hahaha) but secretly, I still hope I can do yoga in the future. I really love Tara Stiles!

5. Switch off
Completely. I guess this is the hardest hardest for me.. I can't leave without my phone! :/ It's something I want to try doing

6. Shopping
This came across my mind because receiving parcels from mailbox is one of the happiest things to do! Wearing is also another. Girls are always girls. Window shopping makes me happy too! :D

7. Travel
Who doesn't love? It gives an opportunity for us to be disconnected from our regular life, increases our knowledge and perspective and more importantly, create memories! I'm looking to what's coming in 90 days yahoo!

8. Eat
Some food just makes your day. I have a love relationship with food and chocolates. I like to snack in between days hahah. I want to do it moderately!

9. Sleep
Something I am deeply deprived of. I sleep pretty late and little and I think it is caused by this weird system in my body call the automation! Okay, late is cause by myself though, I'll try to sleep in earlier!

There's quite a handful of my self-conscious now so let's hope I follow my own advice to be a better person xx

Happy Sunday! :)

a kiss brings the widest smile across

 

If there's an all in one award - patience, kind, forgiving, bighearted, noble, magnanimous, tolerant, unselfish, it would be for her. 
Happy birthday mum! we love you :)

& to sidetrack a little, the mango cheesecake from Swissbake is really good!! very rich in flavor that leaves one wanting for more :D cakes for supper and breakfast, I like!

hello neighbour country

I realized I have a JB clique. hahaha. Over the recess week, Vi, Kay, G and myself went to JB for some R&R lol. The last time we went was before Kay went Finland. How time flies. We almost didn't make it this time because just 10 hours before we were to meet, Kay was at A&E..... but the sickling was so determined to go lol

Hello Neway Karaoke Box! 
Less than SGD6 for 3 hours of singing, cuppa drink, set meal plus salad buffet, not forgetting big room and 4 mics :)

Took a cab to holiday plaza
Classic Pedicure for RM35 :D feel so shiok!

Dinner at Sushi King for the 3rd time lol. Went for meals instead of sushi this time. The udon was surprisingly good!

and my love for bread never die. must buy red bean loaf from Lavender Bakery!!
Very upset how recess week has come to an end :( 7 more weeks to go before I officially graduate!
Here we go again!

when we enter a world that's entirely our own

 
 
We spent the Saturday watching Taken 2 with Kacang Puteh, followed by simple dinner at Pastamania & a cuppa artease, which I haven't had for the longest time (about half a year?). I've been anticipating for this movie and it hadn't disappoint me like my dinner did. Didn't know Pastamania standard dropped so much!! Either the chefs were too busy to cook a better plate or I should probably stick to my usual aglio olio next time :(

and yay to new parcel in the mailbox, really love this piece of top from lacepipe and my new nude pumps :D

happy mid-week!
