VALENTINE'S 2018

This year we went The Landing Point at Fullerton Bay Hotel for our Valentine's date.

Love the ambiance and set up, and thank you for planning this day for me.

So many years together but still look forward to every date with you.

CHRISTMAS 2017

Christmas brunch with the girls as part of our yearly affair @ Firebake this year.

We practically spent half of our lives together and it's good having them around.

Our agenda up next: planning for HK!

And here's a little something with the family yesterday.
And one with Hans's family on the eve of Christmas.
This year's Christmas was one I looked forward to the most as compared to every other years. 
Like they say, as you grow older, you hold things dear to you closer to you.

Last week till the end of the year, and each year it's passing by quicker than the last.

And up till this point in time, 2017 has been pretty awesome for me.

I am counting all my blessings and should feel very contented.

The best choice I have made? I shall keep it to myself for now.

Hokkaido this week and i will check in here again next year. 
Till then ~

:)

BIRTHDAY III: KEEPERS

🍴: Marriott Cafe

Birthday dinner with the girls last night at Marriott.

It was of good food, and good company.

I guess they say friends go a long way with you, and these two are definitely one of them.

Thank you girls for the present and everything.

Its amazing how people can come together again after years of separation, not meeting due to various reasons.

And how a simple occasion spark the thought of coming together once again.

Friends are hard to come by, and those who stay are even harder.

I will learn to cherish each and everyone who comes by and stay.

JAS TWENTY FIFTH

🍴: Knots Cafe and Living 

Brunch with the girls today for Jas's birthday.

The place was so cozy and we were so glad there weren't much people there, nice and quaint place to hang out for sure.

As you can tell, our brunch was so full-filling!

Oh, and one more item off our checklist cos,

WE ARE GONNA PLAN A TRIP TOGETHER!

This may not be a huge thing for others but we have been close friends for the past 10 years and this is gonna be our first ever trip out together.

Really looking forward to this.

AND,

I am going Hokkaido year end!!!!

It's gonna be winter and there will be snow all over the place 😍

The night I booked my flight I could not sleep till almost 1am, on a Monday.

Can you imagine my excitedness that was overflowing!

One more month now to Osaka, I am already planning what I want to bring there ~ 

HUSTLE AND BUSTLE

Have been busy the past week but it's all good!

Met up my favourite Tyler Mama (Wanyi) on Tuesday over Beauty in a Pot and honestly, i'm sold!

It was so good, and almost comparable if not, better than HDL 😍

Sometimes life doesn't go our way, and sometimes we try to find comfort in other things,

I only wish that things will be much smoother from now, and that i'll always have your back!

Wednesday was spent with the girls for Charmaine's birthday over Smoke & Mirrors.

Dined with a view for sure, and we kinda relieved our younger days, snapping selfies like no one's watching, as the sky went from bright to dark.

Been with these girls for more than 10 years, and sometimes I can't be more grateful to have them.

Finally it was the short week i was waiting for so so long!
Took a day off work and went on a road trip to JB with Hans.
We took things slow this time round, checked our errands while taking coffee breaks in between.
Visited this cafe - Eco Palladium, 
where it was said that Jay Chou filmed his MV here.
Not too sure which MV was that, but one thing for sure it's a good chill out place with no disturbance from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Road trips to Malaysia were always made possible thanks to Hans, tho he loves to nag ~

And as busy as it is, I'm still thankful for the fruitful week.
To another long week, I'm ready for you.

Counting down to 2 more weeks till Genting 😌

85TH MONTHSARY

 

Me: "What would you like to have this Friday?"

H: "Hmm Jap or Italian?"

Me: "Okay let's do Italian!"

So here we are, back to my/our favourite Italian place - Bruno's.

Their dishes never fail, and there's this thing about Italian that I like about. And their bread is one I never get sick of.

Look at H with that cheerful smile, and just a second before I took that I said to him, "Can you smile?"

Snap.

Cute.

Today was exactly what I needed after a stressful month, a breather for H after some really tough times at work.

Things were always made better when I'm with him, and I often imagine what if we just elope away from all these troubles 😂

H will probably ask me, "Then where will our income come from?" - just the super realistic way, I'm too much into K dramas.

Nonetheless, weeknights like these are gem, I couldn't ask for more.

Less than 2 weeks to exam, I just gotta embrace this and go in the exam hall with a positive mind.

Less than 3 weeks to Hong Kong, please let this be good.

KILO

Weeknight with Hans over at Kilo for dinner.

Thanks to the early bird special we got to save quite a fair bit whilst having really good food! And also for 1-for-1 for drinks ~

Nothing beats chatting over great dinner on a weekday with Hans.

Sea Urchin - Spicy Duck Salad - Prawn Raviolis - Rib-lets - Churros 

I loved almost all the dishes we chose (some recommended) and told him - Let's come back here to try out their other dishes.

Not forgetting Mariah, who checked on us every now and then, making sure both Hans & I were comfortable and food was alright. Happy that she's doing something she really love, and definitely great seeing her again 😃

Twas was a perfect midweek date.

TARATATA BISTROT

Monthsary dinner at Taratata Bistrot tonight with the loveliest ambiance.

Always love dining at places like these once in a while with Hans.

Don't be deceived by the size of the food cos it was actually very filling!

Thank you for the wonderful start of the month.

It's gonna be an oh-so-crazy month for the both of us.

Hopefully we'll be able to hang in there for all the plans we have ahead of us.

Weekends seriously never felt so precious.

And i can't wait to deliver all my orders from Crumb Bites to all the lovely customers, tho i'm not comparable to a lot of bakers out there but i'm glad Crumb Bites even started.

Goodnight world.

BIRTHDAY WEEK 3: COCOBOLO POOLSIDE BAR

Back to work after the short break and glad it's a short work week!

Had my birthday dinner with the bunch at Cocobolo Poolside Bar @ Park Hotel yesterday.

Food was great and ambiance even better. They have limited seating and that's what makes it exquisite.

Thank you guys, for everything. 

And i got the news from work that my boss will be treating everyone to movie next Tuesday, and the best part, during work hours!

Looking forward to next week and meeting my girls for dinner <:

RV + CONEY

It's finally the weekends again.

RV Café at airport with Hans for brunch before bringing this little one out for some walk.

Their wagyu beef burg was good!

And at Coney Island, this little one tends to walk near to the water.

Verdict for the day: Clover likes the sea.

Or maybe.

Either way, she had fun though was quite tiring for her.

It's been half a year since Grandma was gone, and now, it could be my great aunt..

This was a rough year, visiting the hospital so frequently and hearing stories of people leaving us.

Only hope the remaining 4 months will be good.

LES MIS

 Caught Les Mis with Hans yesterday and it was good!

Thought i might prefer the others that i've watched but this was worth it.

Barossa for dinner after that and was awesome too!

Everything was well except i wasn't so cos of headache :(

Nonetheless, it was a memorable monthsary ~ 

And today's off to deliver some cakes!

Some of the items ordered by a customer and was glad all turn out well.

Satisfied ~~

And for now, time to take some lil break.

POPS DAY

The oh-so-ever precious weekends were finally here!

Cannot emphasize how much they meant to me recently.

Apart from studying, I managed to meet up with MJ kakis (but no photo this time around) over Swee Choon.

Informative session haha.

Sunday was well spent with the parents & Hans, & of course the naughty Clover.

At work now clearing up some work before I depart for my well-deserve break tonight!

Will still miss here but I need a short break for now.

And not forgetting, LesMis in early July!

WEEK 17

Weekends went pretty alright.

The Huntsman: Winter's War on Friday with Hans, my kind of show haha but thought there could be more fighting scenes.

Met Charm & Jas on Sat and it's always great seeing them.
All the best for your 1st flight Jas!
And Charm & Kang visited Clover, as usual, she got all excited and starting biting everyone.
But she's still the cute Corgi pups now hehe.

The last weekend was dessert overdose.
2 days straight of cakes but the choices available tempts me to bake more.

I can't wait for the weekends already, seriously.
Need a break from all the hoo-ha going on.

Less is more.
