Relaxation mode

I would recommend this place if you are looking for cosy and quiet time to spend alone or with one or two friends. There's even (Japanese) magazines to browse and free wi-fi network! What other free stuffs could you ask than spending a lazy afternoon here enjoying your afternoon tea?

The puny cafe is rather small and weekends are mostly occupied unless you are lucky enough. But you could give this a try during the weekdays though!

All kinds of books and magazines.

It's my second visit here and I do enjoy the quiet ambience it brings to me. The decoration is just like a living room, with a large LCD TV screen and nice lightings and shelves of books and magazines.

The homely feel

I love taking snapshots of BF, when he is focusing on something. He's got the serious look while on normal times, he's pretty cranky. We ordered the apple crumble pie (yummy) and iced chocolate that tasted like milo though.


Met our fellow church friends at Minds cafe located at Boat Quay for 2 hours game. It's fun to be with a large group of "young people at heart" and we actually played quite a number of games. The loser had to perform there. Luckily, BF and I were not the final losers. hehe.


That's all folks! More updates coming your way...

Let me have...

... the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, the strength to do the necessary, the love to give to the deserving, the wisdom to perceive such differences.

*****

Was browsing through for some ''hidden'' places where BF and I could escape from the bustle life during the weekends. Found a few to try but I will be pretty packed the next few weekends to go as I have two wedding dinners coming up and a BBQ at ECP with BF's former classmates!

BKK Shopping trip

Just last week, my colleagues and I were discussing about planning a BKK short trip in January next year. We are a bunch of girls who love shopping and Bangkok has really cheap and fashionable buys as compared to Singapore!

However, I started to review my expenditure recently and worried it may hit my limit for these few months. Im having second thoughts about this as I'm not sure how much I will be spending over at Japan! I will see about the flights and hotels' cost before I decide whether to put on hold for this shopping trip.

It's gonna be a month before my Japan flight! Mixed feelings...
We went down to look for Hong Tai's staff and they told me they will only notify me two weeks before the actual flight. I find it too hasty notice as we still have to book our hotel for the F&E three days. BF and I decided to shortlist a few more hotels just in case.

Things to bring checklist:

• Jacket - Ok
• Leather jacket - Ok
• Thermal wear - Ok
• Shawl - Ok
• Boots - Ok
• Leggings - Ok
• dress - have not find something suitable
• Long sleeve inner wear - Ok (need to get another piece)
• Skirts - Ok
• Jeans - Ok
• mittens - Ok
• Beanie - Ok
• Cap - Ok

Little Part 1 cafe

Happened to know about this cafe from 8 Days magazine. I have a special liking for concept cafes because I used to day-dream of owning one.

Decided to pop by for some bites and drinks. The cafe is easily accessible with one min walk from Thomson plaza. Reservation is advisable as seats are limited. From the little vintage pieces decorated and displayed in the cluttered style, we hazard a guess that the boss must be pretty young and loves travelling around the world.

The food were so-so and it's a tad disappointing. The salmon crepe was tasteless and wasn't fantastic. I would only recommend this place if you are there for the ambience and hanging out with friends.

I loved the 80s songs they played throughout.

This corner really gives one a cozy feeling

Special request by XY to upload this pic here. lol

Hello Cat Socrates

I signed up for the Cozycot Holy Grail Party recently planning to check this event out. I've not been there before and was drawn to curiosity. As I was held up by church service so in the end, Wanyu and Felicia went to peek-a-boo there first. Wanyu then rang me up and told me there was nothing fascinating.

So we changed venue to Bugis instead. We did a little window shopping and went to Cat Socrates hidden in a lonesome corner @ Bras Basah. The cafe's seats were all taken up so we could only do with cam-whoring inside the shop! (after seeking the staff's permission.)

The gals are great at posing and I have alot to learn from them. Here are some sneak photos! More photos can be found in my Facebook.

The cafe is petite and can only cater a few people. Here is a nice atmosphere for self-reading and discussion, not for big groups though.

The typical YMCA pose!

I definitely will drop by again on one lazy afternoon!

Dinner with sales team

It was a well-deserved meal over at Himawari @ Alexandra road. My colleagues were great fans for Japanese food and they kept ordering non-stop because it's a buffet dinner. I could not imagine how much I ate that day because my tummy felt bloated after the dinner.

The restaurant was not very huge and could only accommodate a few tables. In total there were 11 of us at the table!


Thanks to the sales guys for the treat who have always been generous to the ladies! Seriously when everyone was off duty, we all started making cranky jokes and laughed at one another.

After the dinner, uncle Lawrence took charge to send me, Meifang, Sarinah and Jody back home safely and I was the last to reach home as he was just staying around the corner.

I'm really thankful I was well-taken care of by my colleagues and it will be a tad difficult to let go if one day I make up my mind to leave.

Photo shoot

A few days back, my colleagues and I visited Botanic gardens for a photo shoot for Floyd and Verane. Our meeting point was at Ben & Jerry ice-cream parlour before heading to our destination.

Unfortunately on that day, the weather turned out to be gloomy after a rain and you might notice some of the sky in greyish white tone. If not for the greyish sky, I am certain the pictures would turn out more fabulous. In fact, I find that it's more challenging to capture a lovely smile of a baby cuz you will not be able to tell when they will grin.

Here are some lovely photos with courtesy by my BF. Enjoy!

Lovely Sister

My sister touched down Sing yesterday midnight but I was already asleep. When I got home just now, I saw a carrier bag on my desk! Inside are all lovely stuffs bought from her. Dresses, tops, woven beanie and mittens for BF and me!!! How great can a sister be? I love her so much!

Picnic, cycling, dinner combo

Someone has ever told me never to blog company affairs or even leave something negative on other internet resources that may be traceable and lead to your bosses viewing them. I feel it's true, it's professionalism and never should be neglected. I used to blog about company affairs but I have since stopped doing it. Personal feelings should only be shared among your trusted friends and kin.

2009.2009 is a special date to those who are getting married! Congrats to Faith who is holding her ROM today. Though I do not personally know her, still I would like to wish her and her partner a blissful marriage!

As for us, we planned a picnic cum cycling combo! We rented doubles for 2 hours and cycled to a more deserted area to have our mini picnic and chit-chat time!


Our mini picnic is just one simple course of sandwiches filled with ham, cheese, egg mayo, tomato and cucumber. Busy is the word. Preparation will definitely be much better next time!


We headed to 'Everything with Fries' cafe at Joo Chiat which BF has suggested. There were 5 different kinds of flavour to choose for the fries and the staff told us curry was one of their big hits!


There were many books for reading but it seemed inappropriate here. I can't find the mood of reading here as the place is abit cramped and u could almost hear conversations from the next table.


But we simply love Enid Blyton's books! I wondered where my childhood books have gone to?


My mains for dinner. Price was reasonable and staff were attentive and fast.
