Best Friends For A Reason.

Awhile back, my primary school batch decided to create a forum on facebook and eventually I was being added in.

There we were chatting about the days in primary school, reminiscing the many things that we have done together, having so many playback scenes that sparked off after the conversations.

Those were the days when everything was so naive,
Those were my favorite days being a gal of my own,
Those were the days where I found the friends who will stay for the rest of my life.

So here we were chatting, and I happen to find my pri sch bestie, Sharon!

Years passed and all of us went different ways.
Alas, everyone lost contacts and interests of how others are doing.
I mean, its always the efforts of wanting to grow up together isn't it ?

While chatting with Sharon on fb, we eventually decided to meet up and Cindy being my best friend, wanted to meet her too!

Dined at Soup Spoon and continued the unfinished conversations at Working Title Cafe over a cup of Latte.





I must say it feels great to have her back into my life again.

Even though it was after years, we still have so much to talk about, and the frequency still remains intact as it was in the old good days.
I guess, there is always a reason as to why you were best friends to begin with.
There is always a saying that "As you grow older, you will have lesser friends and those who really stay on, are the ones we call true friends."

And I do, am glad that I have a couple of true friends who have been through years, thick and thins with me and I hope for the rest of my life, I will always have them like how I have them now.

Also made a pact with Cin to sweep away our Monday Blues by having a gym date on every Monday!
Love hitting the gym with her because she is always a motivator and I am always so comfortable with her around.






Somtimes, we just need, to go at our own pace, even if it is deemed slower than usual because moving too fast a time, makes you miss out something important in life. 

Antoinette @ Penhas

Were chit-chatting with the horsieslove at work and we had an impromptu dinner on last Monday.

Went over to Antoinette @ Penhas for dinner.

Had an awesome dinner at FIKA with my two besties, Sze n Cin! I had saw brilliant reviews online about this Swedish cafe and so decided to try out with them since they have no better idea of where to go for dinner. Am glad to say that it wasn't a bad choice after all because we really enjoyed ourselves with the sumptuous food as well as the cosy ambience.

It was a Friday night so the cafe got really crowded. Lucky thing was that they allowed reservation and I had made one the day before. Upon reaching, the friendly staffs took us upstairs and we were caught aback by the homely ambience upstairs. They had Moose decor bookshelf and stove corner with sofas that were rather vintage. Most importantly , the wooden tables we had, felt like having dinner at home.

I had Tunnbrödsrulle and Swedish Lingonberry while the babes had Swedish Pannbiff.

Food was unique and we paid about $25 per pax. (:

After which, headed over to Toast Box for a chill-out session with the gals over coffee.
Been so long since we met up.
Missed them like nuts!

Little Part 1 Cafe.

Almost died travelling to Upper Thomson Road from my workplace because of the relatively inconvenient accessibility to MRT station as well as the availability of buses.
Furthermore, it ain't easy to get urself squeezed on to buses or trains at peak hours after work on a Friday.
But it was all worth it cus I was meeting one of my bestie, Ning! :)

Her workplace was near Upper Thomson Road and so being a nice and understanding friend, I decided to make my way down from urban to rural area . Exaggerating I know. HEHE.

A day before we decided to have dinner at 'Little Part 1' Cafe.

Shepherd's Pie for Ning! 



Happy Gurl! 



Hello Bestie (: 



Cider is love!











Overall, I guess it was a place that you can go for a long quiet sit-down with a friend.
If you are gonna be with a big group, I guess this place wouldn't very much sit big groups cus its a small-style cafe.
Food wise, I wouldn't say its super fantastic but well, reasonable and affordable.
A bit inaccessible but well, cafes are always situated at ulu areas.
I must say I really like the Cider (Fruit Beer) but yet in Singapore, it's a tad too expensive.
It costs SGD15.00 for a bottle at Little Part 1.
Heard from my friend that if you are in England, the same bottle would prolly cost you only SGD2.00.
Oh yes, Singapore... why everything so expensive?!

Total bill amounted to about SGD60.00 for us two pax. (:

More cafes to try out soon!
And WHOOSH, it's exams week for the next two weeks and one day after my final paper, I'm going to Hong Kong with the Mr and Mrs head of the family =D All EGGCITED!

ARDENT'S Cafebar!

It was Ting's last day at work on friday and we had a mini farewell for her while in the office.

The previous day I was on half-day leave and I got to meet up with my dearest Swee!
Feels great seeing her as always and never the need to hide anything from her.
Hope little Swee will grow up healthy and not torture his mummy's sleep at night!
I Love them both! :)

So I came to work on the friday morning with this on my table:



Haha, it's great to have such 'secret-admirer' who makes your day beautiful with little gestures like this.

Then came more, this time round, not anonymous.
Thanks Ting for the farewell gift!
You have always been a great help all these while.
Without you, i think i will just die in my multiple reports generation process.
Urm, yes, she is giving a tad too much stuffs.
That day was like teacher's day, we kept receiving this and that. Haha.



Made a pact with my two babies at work to have a dinner date together.
And thanks to Meiyun's suggestion, we had a great place for dinner!

Ardent's Cafebar was the place we had dinner. Not sure if reservations are compulsory, but we did make a reservations for three beforehand to secure the seats as the place ain't very big to start with.

Upon stepping into the cafe, it gave me a nice modern vintage feel with its floral and garden setting.



ARDENT'S CAFEBAR
Address: 80 Neil Road
Nearest MRT Station: Outram







Food Ting Ordered: Mushroom Bacon Aglio Olio
Food Meiyun Ordered: Cheese burger with fries 
Food that I Ordered: Egg Benedict (They have all-day breakfast! YIPPEE!!)

Beverages Ordered: Passion Fruit Margarita, Strawberry Margarita & Mojito 

Desserts:  Crème brûlée & Chocolate Lava Cake with Hazelnut Ice-Cream. 

Overall, food was awesome. I guess for people with a bigger appetite, you may need to order more stuffs because the portion is not as huge as other restaurants or cafes that serve in American-style. But it was just nice for me as I don't have a big appetite and am the type whereby a main dish can fulfil my meal.

My favourite of the night was the Crème brûlée! 
I shall try to bake it someday! :P

Total Bill amounted to around 130SGD for 3 pax.

Adorable how they classified non-alcoholics under virgins category and we were making fun of Ting like how she should have chose something from there because she took a tad too long to drink finish her Strawberry Margarita which was not strong in alcohol content to begin with. =D



That's me looking fine & good at the cafe-bar, thanks to Meiyun for the random shot. 


Outdoor shot with Meiyun, my baby no. 1. 


Outdoor shot with Ting, my baby no. 2. (I will be left with one baby after she leaves ) 



An overall shot with Ting. 



And not forgetting, with Mei Yun. :) 



Love this shot with the vintage swing! I always have a fetish for swings at cafe! 



A last shot before we ended the night. 



And Ting mentioned that this look like a bed scene. Haha, goodnight! =D




Loving my new fishtail floral dress that night. Thanks to Threadtheory , my virgin buy from them. (:



Shall end of the post with myself looking neat from my bunned hair.
Goodnight folks and have a Happy Monday! :)

Kombi Rocks!

Been quite some time since I last met up with the girls and i'm so glad we finally did! 

Sze was asking as to where we should go and I finally thought of a super cool place which we could hang out at. 

And that was, Kombi Rocks @ 66 Yio Chu Kang Road!!! 

Just incase you are wondering what that is, it's actually a cafe with the vintage concept!

I told you I was supra interested in vintage cafes didn't I? Hee.

Made a reservation for 3 pax at 7.00pm for dinner with the gals. 

Some pictures took to depict the concept of the cafe : 

We had a few dishes and I shared the giant root beer float with Sze which was just nice for two. 

All in all, we had Tom Yum Soup with prawns & fish, Minced Meat with Basil (Which was my favourite), Kailan with mushroom, Sliced Fish with Onion & Garlic and 3 bowls of plain rice.

Cin had the mom-made barley too!

My Two Loves

Overall, the food were delicious and price was reasonable as well.

Each of us paid around SGD19.00 for the 4 dishes & 1 drink. 

I loved how hip my gals were because we actually made an attempt to dress up vintage to suit the theme of      the cafe!
