Special day today. whopeeeeeeee

Last week.
Hung out with Sam dearest at Dempseys! It was so good to see her again!









Weekends after work

Little bites snucked from work


More supper

Sunday brekkie was slammed. It was packed to the brim and the usually efficient kitchen was sinking with bouts of
overflowing dockets.
There was no dishwasher until 12 and we were seriously running out of cutleries and plates., so bad we had to reuse ( WASHED of course ) most of them. No choice, I volunteered to wash the dishes in my freshly pressed uniform, it was quite hilarious. I tried to channel my boathouse dishwasher days but to no avail, the dirty dishes were pouring in quicker than I could figure out the measly dishwashing machine.
At least Lebbit managed to helped me out for abit in the end, things were getting better by the end of weekend brekkie.

Yesterday
Went to 3 temples to pray for good luck. I was very awkward with the joss sticks so much to learn.
The best 3 temples in this island is in Toa Payoh, Si Ma Lu: Waterloo St and The Buddha Tooth Relic center.
It was a whirl and exhuasting but at least we finally managed to sit down and enjoy our desserts after a busy warm afternoon.


Visit to my favourite chinatown stall for the BEST BEST ALMOND PASTE!
Almond Paste and Mango Pomelo Sago, deelish

So smooth, so fine, perfect texture, divvvvvinnneeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I could have this almond paste everyday like I have with water


Waterchestnut cake


Mango Shaved Ice! This totes saved the day, hallelujah


This is how it looks like on the inside, every bite I take melts and blend into my taste buds


Mocha Shaved Ice


All you need on a hot sunny weekday afternoon

Night
It has been 3 weeks++ and I have not hit town yet, last night was my virgin trip to the Orchard. Woah, everything
is totally different. New shopping malls, new developing malls, Xmas lights and the much hyped surrounding Ion Orchard, I was there and it was pretty amazing.







chio right?




CK Tang Shopping Mall/ Marriot Hotel.
It was a real spectacle when you are upfront and close, the entire building is bedazzled with lights, you could hardly open your eyes



Okay, we're stepping closer to Ion now

For the sake of my dearest readers, I bore the shame of snapping the obligatory Ion pictures, felt like such a fool but a fool I am and such folly I commit :)



Ion is really as huge as that make it sound like it is and phenomenonl. Basement storeys of 5, I only had time to cover two basement floors there were just too much to see.

I am actually really glad to see new brands and stores coming in, not the same old stores over and over again which past mega shopping mall hypes about, they could actually be fossilised. Ion actually promises and delivers, what a refreshing change, can't wait to shop!








This was a very cheesy picture to take


Apparently my photographer has a lot to improve on his skills, we are just beggining on his lessons


The gigantic Xmas tree out of the hundreds other Xmas trees glittering all over the island



Wednesday
Nasal voice day


old fashioned always works
