Under pressure from "someone"
I took the day off -.-
He said one should not work on his or her birthday..

So I thought I would wake up early to go for a morning run.
The thing is,
I should have known that I would not be able to make it.
Naught a morning jogger at all.
Couldnt even drag myself out of bed..

Daddy suggested we asked grandma out..
We would meet her to have vegan dim sum at Bugis.
Grandma has been extremely independent even though she's wheel chair bounded.

Kudos to her maid,
I now know how to push the wheel chair to exit the underground MRT,
How to plan ahead and cross the right curb-less traffic junction,
How to down a curb..
So we pushed her all the way to Si Ma Lu..
And then watched her do grocery shopping =)

After the meal,
She actually told us to go shopping ourselves and no need to keep having to lookout for her.
She loves loves shopping on her own.
Daddy went off on his own too.

*****

Mommy and I walked around..
Knowing that she is a coffee lover, I brought her to Starbucks.

Almost rolled on the floor laughing when she told me how she and a friend once went to Starbucks and ordered kopi-si =D

She loves the Mocha wor..

Photobucket

Chatted for a while..
Based on the coffee shop versions that they always ordered,
I wrote down the types of Starbucks coffee she and her friend would probably like so that they can order themselves the next time =p

*****

Popped over to Vivocity to meet dear..
He had his back to me as I approached the in-the-midst-of-Iphone him..
Caught a glimpse of this..

Photobucket

Passerbys were staring at him lol..

A simple day
We caught The Karate Kid and dinner aftermath at this shop that was so enigmatically hidden near Sushi Tei.

The dining area was black.
The pillars were black
The seats were black.
The lanterns were black.
Chopsticks were black.
Wet wipes were packaged in black.

After the first picture of the appetizer,
We were told pictures were allowed on humans but not food o.0?

So we POSED with the food.
The camera was supposedly shooting dear but "accidentally" pressed the zoooom button, so I "accidentally" got a picture of the xiao long bao hurhurhur..

Photobucket

Perhaps Bosses does not want competitors to grasp their food ideas..
Honestly speaking,
The Cantonese cuisine was really good.

And not forgetting the nice walk along the bay after dinner..
Water always has this soothing effect that never fails to calm me =)

Birthdays
I've stopped celebrating them, deep down.
Funny how the birthday person always feels nonchalant about the day,
But he or she would actually brace the fire to make the day a memorable one when it comes to their friends..

Photobucket
*Vegan cake, with courtesy from mommy's friend*

It was a day of quiet reflections for me.
I thought the day should be dedicated to Mommy.
Cos she risked her life for me 28 years ago.

This year
I received loads of sms-es, flowers and jewellery.
It really warmed me..
One of them was the Swarovski..

Photobucket

Personally passed to me by Don's friend Cherie who had a flight to BJ..
Damn sweet of her lo..
Just the other night,
Another of his friend came up to our place to help Don collect his student pass.
He was also going to China to meet Don.
What did Don do to deserve such good friends..

Daddy asked Ming to call Don in BJ and they all sang me a birthday song =)

Such a looooong overdue one..
We checked out one event at One Rochester =)

A very nice chill out place in alfresco style..

Photobucket

Desserts were overwhelmingly pampering.

Photobucket

Ambience was soaked in warm yellow light..
As the sun was about to set..
The harmonious mix of blue green and yellow took our breath away..
If only time could stop at this point..

Finally we got to try this =)

Photobucket

Again
It's a love hate relationship where food is concerned.

You want good food, you have to queue.
If there is no queue, you doubt the food's good.

We arrived at Wild Honey during noon..
The lady at the door told us we might have to wait an hour to an hour and a half.
We left our phone numbers and she would give us a call when it's our turn.
For the whole hour, only about a couple of patrons left the cafe.
We had a whole full page of names to clear before our turn.
With hunger sucking at our tummies, it was quite unbearable in fact.
Who says A Hungry Man is an Angry Man..?
It applies to woman as well -.-

We went upstairs to check out Jones the Grocer..
Only to find there's also a queue, but a shorter one.
Jones was a faster queue.
We got our seats reasonably fast.
But as we were settling down at Jones and being served water,
Wild Honey called us and asked if we would be interested in their counter seats.
That was a dilemma.
Very hesitantly,
We decided to go for Wild Honey.

The amiable service staff at Jones left a good impression on us.
She smiled and told us it was alright and told us she hoped to see us the next time.
We left Jones apologetically.

Photobucket

The counter seats faced the window away from the entire cafe.

We proceeded to the counter to order our food.
The variety was apparent.
Mostly the breakfast of various European and western countries..
Like Belgium, Scandinavian, Canadian, Mexican etcetera..

Gawd food was good!
The English Breakfast was huge!

Photobucket

European Breakfast
Two big poached eggs wrapped in soft bacon.

Photobucket

Let's watch the egg ooze..=p

Photobucket

Well one thing about counter seats
Hunched postures..
Weird camera angles..
We just could not sit up straight for long..

But we get to lean against the table and do self shots shamelessly without anyone's disgusted stares..
LOL

After the fulfilling brunch,
We went over to Far East for the Lumix Blogshop Runway..

I guessed as much the event could not emit the kind of feel that the word "Runway" would give.
Atmosphere was bland, too much make-believe.
Even the number of photographers was more tasteful than the atmosphere..

Photobucket

The emcee caught hold one of the photographers who had been there even before we arrived.
He was standing very eagerly at the front of the stage.

She asked him over the microphone,

“Are you here to take pictures or see pretty girls”

There’s a reason why the runways are best left to the stick thin toned and tall models..
Asians lose out in height, no doubt.
But they have a more bubbly personality.
So instead of trying to do that cool and brazen catwalk like the Caucasians and walk funny..
I thought it would be better to be themselves.
Just like how the Japanese had a style they called own.

Dont get me wrong..
Some of them are really pretty, just that the identity crisis was obvious.
Imagine donning a Japanese hairstyle (nice ash brown big curls) and trying to look killer cool..?

Photobucket

*****

We walked around Far East,
Checking out the "new trends" but in no mood to buy things.
Suki suddenly had an idea..
We thought we would go check out the maxis and see how we looked like in them..

Before we could find any maxis..
She had to leave for another destination.

I loved these long sun dresses even before they were in trend..
Dont remember them being classified as maxis before..
My idea is that such a dress complimented the beach damn well..
So I already had the exact design in mind..
Because all the maxis on sale now had flowery prints,
I did not know if I could find the one I wanted.
Honestly speaking,
Their abundance everywhere recently turned me very off..

But not soon after Suki left,
I found the one and only one I would ever consider buying.
Just that this one had rocket high prices =x

Taste paradise

Really overdue.
I've been avoiding this post because it keeps freaking making me hungry every time I opened that folder -.-

Standing at the restaurant's entrance with an equally blur waitress..
To be honest,
We waited with prominent irritation and frustration that only made the serving staff more exasperated.

Hungry and strengthless
We were damn easily bought over by the dim sum.

Food glorious food..

Century Egg with Lime Sherbet
It was a sour appetizer but I really loved the presentation..

Photobucket

Photobucket

Pumpkin Pastry

Photobucket

Photobucket

This Custard Bun horribly blew our minds apart..
Till we ordered another 2 sets of 3 and still could not have enough of them..

Photobucket

Photobucket

And of course we almost missed this..
Even though the size of these 3 mini egg tarts were pathetically shared by the 7 of us..
We felt its smoothness, its richness and the melting pastry in the mouth..

Photobucket

Simply the best dim sum I've ever come across in Singapore..
The quality of the cuisine is indeed apparent..
And the queue outside is not without a reason.
Because the chef took so long to prepare each dish with such high standards..
The serving time is delayed and so is the eating time..

The joy of dim sum is best shared among a big group of friends..
Variety is there and you need not stuff your stomach beyond redemption..

Glad I shared it with da gang of crazy peeps =)

After what seemed so long..

Photobucket

Dear's been wanting to try it every time he passed it.
As we waited for our orders to materialise
Staring at the fountain shoot up and down was quite hypnotic..
It was fascinating how the fountain was so close to us yet the water cannot touch us.

Photobucket

The food came and it got thumbs up from him..
Out of the Pan has been there for a long time.
The first time I tried it was a spontaneous call right after the last paper of Year 3.
That was like 6 years ago?
Food standards did not dip one bit =)

Photobucket

Really enjoyed the dinner while the Sundown queue right above us was still heavily winding round and round and round =p
Glad that we gave up queueing for these foodies..

A quiet Friday night.
Feeling extremist.
