Daruma Ramen and Cold Stone

Wooohooo TGIF!!!I was totally counting down at work today.Can't wait to meet him for dinner.We met at Somerset and headed over to Triple One Somerset to have our dinner at Daruma Ramen House.We decided on this as they are currently having a 1-for-1 promotion for their ramens.Without this promotion,I guess the price would seem a little expensive for my wallet.However,the con is that we have to order the exact same ramen which is kinda sad.Thought we could try the tonkotsu one too but we just ordered the spicy one.The cold weather was just so perfect for a hot and spicy bowl of ramen hehe.Luckily the spiciness was not too overwhelming.

We ordered the second option just for the boiled egg and probably the extra barbequed meat cos the first option doesn't include it.The most important thing I must have when eating ramen is the EGG!It is just so good everytime I eat it.The egg yolk especially.It's like 'ooooooooh awesomezzzzzz'.And everytime I eat the egg,I feel like I'm on cloud nine lol.

It was quite a small restaurant with very limited seats so before we arrived we thought that there might be a queue since there's this promotion going on.But I'm not sure if it's because people might not have heard of it or what.But oh well,it was a good thing cos we were very hungry by then.Oh and I just realised that this restaurant is actually quite well-known in Hong Kong.Top 5 ramen shop in Hong Kong wow!Maybe they are slowly trying to gain popularity in Singapore.

The only decent photo of us for today.Bad quality photo too.It's kinda sad when I wanna upload photos onto my blog but the photos always turn out kinda blurry.Thanks to my lousy phone camera.The back camera is kinda decent with 8mp but the front is only 2mp.How to take clear self shots like that?!So tempted to get a good camera but no bling bling.

After dinner,we hung around 313 and then settled down at Cold Stone at OC for some ice cream lovin'.It has been one year plus since someone asked me for an ice cream date at Cold Stone and it was finally realized today.Never fail to order my all time favourite that gotta contain oreos and vanilla ice cream.So I ordered their signature oreos overload with the waffle bowl for us.I felt that their 'Love It' size was a little too much to handle.Probably the smaller 'Like It' size would have been a better choice.

This was probably one of life's simple pleasures-enjoying a cup of ice cream with my dearest hehe.

And I shall end off with 2 photos of me with the cute vans parked at OC.

Have a good weekend everybody!!!

Saveur

First time having dinner out for this week cos work has been draining most of my energy to actually meet up with people for dinner.I've been telling myself that the maximum number of dinner meet-ups after work would just be two for every week,unless there are some other reasons.So yes,I met Liting and Zixiu for dinner at Saveur @ Purvis Street.I've been hearing about this restaurant some time ago and kept wanting to try it someday so finally I got to try it today.

While waiting for Liting,we decided to order a starter to share.It was kinda hard to decide.They even offer the basic bread and butter.But they have some other interesting starters that we thought of trying so we ended up ordering the duck rillette as per above.We totally have no idea what to expect cos the menu stated that it includes cracker slices,romaine lettuce,gherkin and pickles.The word 'gherkin' was kinda profound but we guessed it should contain duck meat which explains the dish title.What's duck rillette without duck meat right?So when the dish came,we were quite shocked.At first sight,we only saw yellow stuff in the jar.We were like 'where's the duck meat?'So the brave girl went to give it a try and that yellow substance was actually oil.The whole jar was frozen in the freezer and so the oil kinda settled above.The tuna-looking duck meat was actually below that layer of oil.So yeah it's cool to try new stuff I guess.I felt that if there were some condiments to this dish,it might have been better cos it feels a little dry.

For our main dish,all 3 of us ordered this chicken dish which is a roulade of chicken thigh stuffed with foie gras-infused chicken farce,creamy basmati rice & parmesan sauce.It was quite a small portion but super filling.I guess it was the creaminess of the rice that filled our tummies up.Im not exactly a fan of creamy rice/pasta so this dish was only alright to me.I might wanna go back again to try their duck leg confit.Their desserts sound kinda cool too from what I saw from the menu.

The bad point about this restaurant is that due to it's limited space,we were sitting quite close to the table beside us and it was extremely noisy!Most of the time we couldnt hear one another.It was tough raising our voices to hold a simple conversation.It was plain tiring.So after dinner we headed to Tang Shui Xian to have desserts and continue talking.Ordered a bowl of honeydew sago and mango shaved ice,but sadly we were given snow ice.I felt that both were merely alright.Not as good as what I expected.But it was definitely easier to talk this time round.

YAY TGIF TOMORROW!!!

Dinner with my dear boy tomorrow wheeeeee!!!

ZJJR

I like this photo cos can tell that my hair is kinda brown hehe.Not that obvious sometimes cos after all I dyed my hair from a box dye.My kind of happiness on a budget!!!
My hair is getting a little too long to handle.I dont know how many inches I should trim it.After all it has been long since my hair grew this long.
Let me think about it!
Work is draining me out.I hardly have the time to even rest.Always see that pile of invoices in front of me and the rate at which it reduces is quite slow.Always look forward to going home after work to rest,watch tv and enjoy some me-time.Times does fly pass quite fast at work though.Cant wait for this thursday and friday to meet my dearies!!!
Oh and happy 21 months to my baby boy!!!Poor boy had to slog till so late at work today.Press on baby!One more day before all those shit gonna be cleared!

Happy birthday Zixiu

Met the girls today to celebrate Zixiu's birthday.Back to expo which reminded me of the exam days.It's been more than a week already but there is still that strange feeling in me that I don't know how to describe.We had our lunch at Manhatten Fish Market at Changi City Point.Initially I was thinking of eating at Eggs & Berries after trying it the other time with Serene and Cynthia.But don't know why we ended up at MFM.I also wanna try the food at Table Manners.It looks like a cool restaurant.So anyway,after lunch we wanted to chill at some cafes to discuss our Bangkok trip.But the cafes were all so crowded.So we made our way to Changi Airport.Terminal 3 looks so different now.So many shops and cafes but sadly Starbucks was fully occupied.We had no choice but to settle down at Dunkin Donuts.At least there were cushion seats available yay!After quite some time of discussing and browsing of hotels on my handy-dandy netbook,We've finally come to a decision.So yes,finally air tickets and our hotel rooms have been booked.Now we are only left with the itinerary.Totally can't wait for the trip.It will be a total of 6 of us.Hope it will be a fun trip even though my mum is gonna tag along.

Happy girl looking at the stuff we got for her!

6 donuts that we shared

After all the photo taking,I was still thinking if I should head over to ECP for dinner with my mum,bro and relatives.It was a sudden decision to have dinner at Jumbo.It was kinda too good to resist but it was quite difficult to travel to Ecp from Changi Airport.So my mum told me that my uncle can fetch me from Expo so I  agreed in the end.It was a good choice I made cos of the good food but I didn't really like the environment.It was the open air area so we will be more prone to mosquito bites.And there were lizards crawling on the walls.I was really afraid and distracted by their movements.Besides that,everything was fine.

I think my eyes are really really small

A long post

I am finally back after such a long hiatus.Missed updating this space with nice pictures and everything about my life.Shall do that right now.

So yeah,exams are finally overrrrrrrrr!I still remember how happy I felt right after the MA paper,even though it was an awful paper.Why must the last paper always be so tough?!Totally like what happened last year when I ended off with POA.Urghhhhh!I am really hoping I can do well for MSM and ME so that I don't have to worry so much about having to study damn hard next year cos I need 4 Bs out of the 9 classification marks to secure a second upper class.Last year I had 1,this year aiming for 2 and next year at least 1 and I'll be good!And most importantly,I have to pass MA!Really kinda worried for it cos it was really super difficult!Oh well,what's done is done.Shall just wait patiently till august when results will be released.

Last thursday after MA paper,the 4 of us had a celebratory dinner at Astons at Changi Airport.Wanted to have a better meal but I guess our pockets were kinda tight so we just settled for Astons.Guess we were super hungry by then after using so much energy in the ME and MA paper that we were totally worned out by the end of the day.Seriously no joke to have 2 papers on the same day.It was torturous.So yah,we had a satisfying dinner at Astons,a great ending to the crazy day we had.

Friday morning was spent at the dental clinic for my monthly appointment.Met ZW at bugis after lunch with my dad to get Jojo's birthday present.We walked around aimlessly,not knowing what to buy.Going over to Bugis+ was the most intelligent choice we made cos we went crazy at Aeropostale.They were having such a massive sale as the prices were slashed by so much!Shirts priced as high as $79.90 dropped to $19.90.The prices of the shirts for guys and girls were mostly $19.90,but with minimum 2 pieces.We managed to get a pair of slippers and checkered shirt for Jojo and not forgetting our boyfriends,so we got shirts for them too!I think I lost touch in buying shirts for dear boyf cos I actually got one that was sized S.I got home and showed my brother and realized it was just nice for him.I guess I underestimated my boyf oops!So I went back another day and went to get another shirt together with Jojo as the slippers were a little smaller for her.She got a shirt for her brother too.

Saturday was spent cycling with the girls at ECP.It is becoming our annual cycling trip just that last year I rollerbladed instead of cycling.We were really afraid it might rain cos the sky really looked dark.But thank goodness luck was on our side.It didn't rain for the whole morning to afternoon.Super love spending days like this.Happy and carefree days.After approximately 3 hours of cycling,we had our late lunch at Ichiban Boshi as part of celebrating Jojo's super belated birthday.Felt so bad for celebrating her birthday so late cos it was kind of near to our exam date.But glad she didn't mind and liked the present we gave her!Many loves Jojo!!!

I had my job interview yesterday for a finance assistant position.The company is situated at Bedok so it is really super convenient for me.Before the interview I was having butterflies in my stomach.Didn't really know what to expect.Besides,I am always intimidated by interviews.It is so scary to face the interviewers and Im always afraid I wouldnt be able to answer their questions.I was interviewed by the HR lady and a guy whom I will be supervised by.Luckily I kinda prepared for some typical questions like ' Introduce yourself '.But the whole interview was kinda short(Thankfully!!!)and I was told that RE will contact me again.Within the next half an hour or so,I received a call from RE that I have been accepted for the job.YAY MONEY IS GONNA ROLL IN SOON!!!Gonna start work tomorrow^^There goes my freedom:(

Met babyboy for dinner at The Cathay.We've decided to try Maki-san which has quite an interesting concept of creating our own sushi rolls or salad bowls.I love it when I get to choose my food,like what goes in and what doesnt.This shows how picky an eater I am.But sadly,my combination didn't turn out as nice as what I wanted it to be.Babyboy's one was better.So he kinda switched his with mine awwww!After dinner was chilling time at Starbucks with some candy crushing moments haha.

This has been a super long post.I was feeling lazy to divide this into a few posts.This is what happens when I update everything at once.Like a verbal diarrhea lol.

Till the next time~

These few days will be the final busiest days up till thursday which is the last day of my exams.Getting tired of this routine and I feel so deprived of so many things like shopping and meeting up with friends.The end is near and I know Im gonna hang in there.Happy to say that the MSM paper was alright.Hoping to secure an A or B at least *crosses fingers*.The next 3 papers will be tough battles to fight.Need lotsa energy and weapons and probably an army of troops and military tankers to back me up.

So I guess I'll leave a picture below just in case anybody who reads my blog misses my face hehe.This was taken at the skypark at MBS during Sue's pre birthday gathering.We camwhored for a while but it would have been better if it was in the daytime.The photos might have turned out nicer.But nevertheless,there is nowhere girls can't take photos at right?

I'll be back to update again next thursday/friday.Can't wait for that day to arrive!

JUB JUB!!!

Heart Attack

After listening to a couple of covers of Demi Lovato's 'Heart Attack',I feel that this cover is one of the best few.I am currently addicted to this song.Heard so many covers but haven't get sick of it yet.The perfect pair to cover this song!!!:)Love this so so muchhhhh!

The lyrics to this song:

Putting my defenses up 
Cause I don't wanna fall in love 
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack 

Never put my love out on the line 
Never said yes to the right guy 
Never had trouble getting what I want 
But when it comes to you I'm never good enough 

When I don't care 
I can play him like a Ken doll 
Won't wash my hair 
Then make him bounce like a basketball 

But you make me wanna act like a girl 
Paint my nails and wear high heels 
Yes you, make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand 

You make me glow 
But I cover up, won't let it show 
So I'm putting my defenses up 
Cause I don't wanna fall in love 
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack 
I think I'd have a heart attack 
I think I'd have a heart attack 

Never break a sweat for the other guys 
When you come around I get paralyzed 
And every time I try to be myself 
It comes out wrong like a cry for help 

It's just not fair 
Brings more trouble than it all is worth 
I gasp for air 
It feels so good, but you know it hurts 

But you make me wanna act like a girl 
Paint my nails and wear perfume 
For you, make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand 

You make me glow 
But I cover up, won't let it show 
So I'm putting my defenses up 
Cause I don't wanna fall in love 
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack 
I think I'd have a heart attack 
I think I'd have a heart attack 

The feelings got lost in my lungs 
They're burning, I'd rather be numb 
And there's no one else to blame 
So scared I'll take off and run 
I'm flying too close to the sun 
And I'll burst into flames 

You make me glow 
But I cover up, won't let it show 
So I'm putting my defenses up 
Cause I don't wanna fall in love 
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack 
I think I'd have a heart attack 
I think I'd have a heart attack 
I think I'd have a heart attack 
I think I'd have a heart attack
