Weekday could be fun too!

It was really one of the few days which i took leave to go out with my love. Sometimes he had his days off during the weekend but it wasn't enough. During weekend we had to squeeze with the crowd practically everywhere: train, restaurant, movies , shopping malls etc which i really dislike.

Last Tuesday, I met Xiong at Suntec, hoping to redeem a pair of free movie tickets. I was really early but Xiong was late.. But never mind, we managed to get the tickets with good seats. We chose to watch 'The Angriest Man in Brooklyn' as i love watching Robin Williams' film. His 'Jumanji' left a deep impression in me during my younger days. There were lots of "What the hell?!", "What the f*ck?!", "F*ck off" phrases in the movie and not one which was kid-friendly. But overall it was a good movie which i felt close to my heart as they emphasize a lot on family matters. It was really touching that i almost cried!!

After the redemption of the tickets, we went to Symmetry at Jalan Kubor to have our brunch. I was expecting to have some breakfast brunch but they do not have any on a rainy Tuesday. The cafe was located just at a corner of Jalan Kubor.

The cafe was dimly lit but it was still visible. The cafe was kinda like decorated in the 80s' style. You can spot some vintage posters around. I shall blog Symmetry Cafe in another post later.

After we had filled our stomachs, we wanted to have some desserts at Cake Love. If you had knew about the Cafe Fest Saga, you must be familiar that most patrons who were not satisfied with the management had somehow received compensation from them. I was one of those who made the complain. Though I wasn't satisfied with them (till now due to other issues) but at least there were some form of compensations. It was still bearable.

But before we head over to Cake Love, we were taking some photos at the back alley.

Can you just imagine how dark the weather was? It was about to rain anytime!

Yet we were still fooling around... ...

No idea why that i wasn't standing straight in this photo

Luckily, the rain came before we got real wet! We were looking for Cake Love high and low until Xiong told me that it was just behind us... ...

Their signboard was really cute!

Cake Love was founded in 2009 which specialize in customizing cakes, macarons, cupcakes and many other sweets treats ! I shall blog a bit more on my next post too! By the way, the serve Rainbow Cheesecake on every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Their first cake will be out at 12pm and the second cake will be out at 4pm. For cheesecake lovers, please keep a look out for their Rainbow cakes!

And non-stop photos while waiting for the rain to subside... ...

After which we had a short shopping spree at Suntec before we went KTV at Teo heng. 3 hours of KTV session was cheaper than 2 hours! Went for the 3 hours KTV instead and left 10 minutes before our movie start...

And our day ended in a wink of eye... ...

Happy Tuesday!

There was never once i complained on my weekends. I love to spend my quality time with love, especially he did not have to work on weekends.

Last Saturday, we had a date just like any couples do; going to Plaza Sing for a movie, walk around and have dinner at some nice places, watched Kungfu Jungle acted by Donnie Yen. And yeh, you know those sort of action pack movie where police chased the murderer and he was beaten to death even before he could be jailed? The movie was good but you would say great if you love kungfu fights.

Before the movie started, dear and i were queuing for llao llao. We queued for approximately 20 minutes before it was our turn and it took us 7 minutes to finish a medium size yogurt. We gulped the yogurt down our throat as we were like 5 minutes late to the movie. Luckily, the advertisement for GV was always long that we did not miss any scene.

A good 100 minutes ended, we rushed to Clark Quey, afraid that we were late for our reservation. Wasted few minutes taking photo with the Christmas Tree just outside The Central before we made our way to Shuffle Bistro Bar.

Am i looking too fat in this photo?

No idea why but we follow suit when other people took photo with the tree.

Finally we reached Shuffle Bistro Bar. This is one of my favorite place as the live band speak and sang Mandarin songs. If you hadn't know, few of the Superstars were from there! We were guided to our seats after that... ...

Ordered my alcoholic drink. Its been a while since i had alcohol.

At 8pm, the band began to sing some of the pop songs and all of us eat, drink and listen. I like chilling my weekend this way but i would ended up bankrupt if i do this every week.

It was raining 'extraordinary' heavy that night.

Up next, our wings were here~~

We were hungry that we did not took a photo of the seafood pizza. However, it was delicious too.

That night, we ended our day after filling our stomach at Shuffle Bistro Bar.

Took lots of selfie but only selected a few nice ones

Weekend ~~

My Life has recently has been dedicated to more of a food and beauty blog but i would still pen my thoughts here. Though the frequency of writing my diary is not as often as i wrote them in the past, at times, i do feel that one shouldn't neglect our thoughts or brush them off like 'they are not a big deal'.

Really, coming to a stage where i am 25 this year, life is more than what our daily routine encompasses. I have been promoted to an Aunt to a little cute princess, looking forward to my mum's fine culinary skills after a day at work (which i never appreciate them when i was much younger), chatting with my brother over his "O" Level woes, hearing to my dad's story of heated exchange in his office, enjoying weekend brunch and dinner with my loved ones. It could not be more fulfilling without your loved ones at your side.

And i grow, they grow too; which explicitly means that the time together is getting shorter. Sometimes i could not but just wonder how much time do we have left for each other? My mum and dad are reaching the age of retirement and I was only 23 when i felt i could give them a slightly better life. There is so much more i hope i could do for them. P

Perhaps many things are pre-destined that i shouldn't be thinking too much right now.

Been viewing some hair salons these days as I wanted to change my hairstyle. It has been 3 months since (from Artica) I did anything to my hair. The colour has faded and I am very tempted to do them again.

Saw some bloggers were sponsored by hair salon and they go back to them regularly. Its good in a sense that the hair dresser knows their style, likings and stuff like that and almost all of them left the salon with such fabulous hair style.

The salons I had tried out so far were good, but none of them couldn't really tell me what type of hair style is nice on me as I believe they are afraid that I would end up being angry/sad.

No idea on what to do but just keep doing my research I guess.

Signing off~~

I had disappeared for a week and now im back. Last week was pretty peaceful and that i didn't have much activities.

But recently, i have been purchasing goods from Taobao.com . It was really an amazing website where i bought my clothes at about SGD4-8? The quality was really better than those i bought in Bangkok. Now that i have taobao.com, I will explore the clothes section to see if they offered the same design as those i saw in shopping mall.

Last Saturday, my date and i went to watch Step Up. The movie was alright and i felt that the previous series were much better than this. The choreography didn't have that 'wow' factors though there were many difficult stunts and moves.

Sunday was a family gathering as we all come together to celebrate my cousin's birthday. All of us had a good time there and we were enjoying ourselves. I missed those days where we all would play and tease each other. Now that we were all adults (and some additional member to the gathering), we would still never fail to come together once a while for a catch up.

And most importantly, i brought my monopod (which i bought from Taobao.com) to use it for the first time!

My god! My granny looked so cute. Im not sure if she knows where to look but my aunt was just telling her to : look at the sky.

Sometimes, taking photo with a huge crowd could end up disastrous. There were some of us who are looking and some of them were not paying attention.

Look again, when the some of us were not looking at the camera, the rest who missed out the previous shot were looking up. The most photogenic one will be the one who was holding the monopod.

And this is my maternal family. Small yet noisy family. Hope we do have such gathering again very soon.
