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.

On A Photo Journey - BetelBox to Gardens By The Bay to Bangkok Jam.

Instead of usual mundane shopping, I had a phototaking journey around Singapore together with my Uni besties last weekend.

We have discussed and Sof & Wira brought along their Canon DSLR while I brought along me lightweight Pink Canon Ixus 130. Was pretty amazed and pleased by my digi cam. It's not just an ordinary plain jane okays! See the photos later, especially those shots of natures, flowers and trees which are original from the cam, un-edited.

Had lunch at Betelbox @ Joo Chiat which is a Peranakan restaurant with beautiful layout concept.
You will know what I mean by seeing the photos below:





I love those sketches on the wall like it's vintage old memories drafted all over the place.







The signature home-made lemongrass that tastes superb authentic such that for someone like me who dont really fancy strong taste like ginger, i had to mix quite abit of syrup =X



And This is the AWESOME Laksa Goreng which i shared with Sof Sayang.
Had nv tasted something better than this. It costs only almost $11 and two persons can share this.
I wouldnt mind eating another plate of this if i was super hungry.
It goes well with their in-house sambal chilli as well!



We're on candid~

After lunch, we made our way back to the nearest MRT to head to Marina Bay.





While on the way to the station, Wira spotted some old streets and wanted to take a shoot.
We stopped and Sof captured this scene that looks as if Wira was knocked by a car doesn't it? haha.



Here we are, reached Marina Bay! :D

And I've decided to on the Sepia mode on my cam:

Studio M.

Decided to do a little surprise for the boy on his upcoming bdae on 3rd June and so I had it all planned myself.

While at home, all set off to go Studio M

Went on Agoda website previously and booked a room at Studio M Hotel to spend some quality time with him.

After using my Agoda points available, I paid almost SGD200.00 for a night stay.

I kept telling the boy that we are going to Sentosa.
So he was like "AIYA confirm is the waterworld la" (so i sort of made him believe that we are indeed gg to waterworld so that he will bring along his swimwear and extra clothes for stayover, brilliant me? hahahaha)

Check-in was pretty fast because payment was already made to Agoda.

Room number was 414 which was upgraded to the premier studio loft.

Right after we opened the door, this is what you see:

Breakfast area

Breakfast was inclusive for us and it was a buffet-style.
I think they had quite a reasonable array of food ranging from bread to congee to indian-style prata, eggs, cereals, cowhead cheese, fruits.

One thing good about them is that they have staffs standing at each buffet table where food was served so that they can keep a constant lookout as to when to replenish the food when it is running low. You will never have to walk to the juice area or fruits area to find nothing to take with you because there will always be something there so long its within the breakfast hours. Awesome right?

Had a pleasant two days 1 night stay and the bed they had is super comfy. Other than some issues with their housekeeping cleanliness, I felt that it was a stay worthwhile especially when the bdae boy himself enjoyed it as well. 

As it was GSS period, we left the hotel during the afternoon after our swim and Jacuzzi to town. 

In case you are wondering, there are actually shuttle service at the hotel itself that takes you to places like : 

1) Corpthorne King's Hotel

2) Great World City 

3) Paragon 

4) Clarke Quay MRT 

You can have the route checked at the lobby itself because there are different destinations ongoing for weekdays and weekends.

The shuttle comes every hour on the hour and the last service during the weekend is at 8.30pm.

So we went to Pique Nique at Takashimaya because we couldnt think of better stuffs to eat. Haha. 

My second experience with Pique Nique.

Had Norwegian all-day breakfast that time and so decided to try something different this time: 

Italian Minestrone Soup: 

All-day Breakfast: 

All in all, it was an enjoyable occasion and I hope my boy loves it.

Happy Bdae once again and I Love You Dear. <3
