A little closer to home, went by to delicious @ Scotts Square the other day with @xysg.
There was a little hiccup initially, but everything is ironed out smoothly thereafter.
and Ladies and Gentleman, I must! must! must! rave about their Macadamia Cheesecake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Macadamia Cheesecake here is superb!! Bravo Bravo Bravo Bravo! *the macadamia nut is well roasted w a layer of not-too-sweet candy. the cheese cake is just nice, feeling the gentle sweetness. ~ -approve- delicious@Scotts Square
That was my comment when I first tried it. Yup, it totally did it for me.
Wanted to do their Hot Lemongrass something tea, but it was out. So narrowed down to 2 choice and the waiter suggested the Hot Honey Lemon.
It was good.
Read from foursquare that it was as though warm water w a slice of lemon and side serving of honey.
But my experience was a little different. The warm water was pre-treated with lemon juice.
Certainly went well for me.
I didnt check the batteries before rushing out to work, so….
These photos are taken with my iPhone, bought a long exposure app last minute, but still, shaky hands, no compatible w iPhone tripod hence bad photos….
Anyway, these are the post-processed photos from iPhone apps such as Instagram and Path.
The Original on iPhone: iPhone 4 ISO1000 f2.8 1/15 no pp
To Diana Filter of Path
and Rise Filter of Instagram
I like the Diana Filter of Path one better. Its more striking, more bold, more in-your-face.
The Original on iPhone through the “SlowShutter” app: LE app, ISO1600 f2.8 1.7s no pp

To Rise Filter of Instagram
I like the Diana Filter of Path better too. My friends commented that it feels like Batman’s call sign.
Once again, the beauty of iPhone 4 camera (and we are not even talking about 4s yet): iPhone 4 ISO1000 f2.8 1/15 + pp + crop
What do you think?
Besides the double railing, I felt the view from Pinnacle@Duxton’s 50th floor is pretty good!
Was chatting with a friend about his new event’s project called “Savour” a Food expo, ‘cept that this time, this one is alot more atas and classy
In a quick and precise way, its:
Singapore’s newest gourmet festival. 16 award-winning chefs from Michelin-star and world’s top 100 restaurants. 50 signature dishes from $6-$21. FREE chef master classes, tastings and culinary workshops. World produce at the Gourmet Market.
We’re talking about Michelin-star and really food-art, like worth way more than the ticket price kind of thing.
I’m def not the best person to tell you whats it about, cos afterall I hadnt been there yet. But high chances are I’ll be going. So watch out for the experience post thereafter.
Lets arrange something if you are going!

How does your Savour ticket work? There are two sessions per day: an afternoon and an evening session priced at $40 and $60 respectively (excludes Sistic booking fee). All sessions require a separate ticket. Your ticket gives you access to the Gourmet Village, Gourmet Market and Gourmet Auditorium. Each regular ticket includes $21 or $30 Savour Dollars for you to buy dishes at the Gourmet Village, drinks at the bars, and produce at the Gourmet Market. Dishes in the Gourmet Village are priced from $6 to $21 and are sold on a per consumption basis. Should you use up the Savour Dollars included in your ticket, you may purchase additional Savour Dollars onsite. Access to all complimentary public masterclasses, workshops and demonstrations is also included in your ticket on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to capacity.
Thats the evening,
But The morning’s are nicer! Rather than the simple bread and butter available in the guest house, whats better than being able to sit by the side, get a nice breakfast and watch people strolling by. I totally love that!
Thats like a must-do for me during my holiday trips.
Breakfast!
Been Hoon n Wu Xiang!
Porridge n you tiao!
Oh and theres a fantastic bookstore at the Back Alley area too!
Titles that makes me dunno laugh for to feel intrigued
and a bonus that morning was
Wait for it…………..
Old school Beancurd!!!!
and its those in Gula Melaka kind!!!!!!!!! ~
Yeh! I was so happy to have a taste of that ^^v
Cos its a little too “unhealthy” for SG’s standard I guess.
Or maybe its the processing of it that takes more time, thats why I dont see it in SG much…
I had one too many coffee with friends lately…
Male friends specifically…
But it is also these few meetups that taught me something about myself.
Hmm…
Do you remember how when we were young there’s this saying amongst young teenagers (with raging hormones) that goes “he’s talking to you, is he interested in you?”

I did Gelish manicure recently!
I like it.
I dont know what is Gelish about, google for it and I get is advertorials or blog entries from people that seems really happy of their manicure. This is the closest I can get to perhaps a more neutral explanation.
Gelish is a soak off gel nail product that applies similar to regular nail polish, but lasts for up to three weeks with no chipping or fading.
Gelish is a UV nail gel that is applied in several steps, requiring either a 36 watt UV or LED lamp to cure the gel. Gelish nail gel is similar to other UV soak off nail gel systems, such as Shellac or OPI Axxium. Nail gels can be applied to your natural nails, without causing the damage of acrylics. Nail growth with nail gels is covered with a fill-in coat, similar to acrylic nails. The product is brushed on like regular nail polish.

So I did mine too, as it is shown above, I did french style, cos my dearest Kim is fully booked in these upcoming week, so I’ll better do something that is lasting into Chinese New Year , and even if it starts to strip, it isnt too obvious or unglam, so I thought of French.
Information online says it’ll last 3 weeks without chipping or fading.
I guess thats the coatings for Gelish nail polish itself.
Was reading my colleague’s (who is on maternity) status update on facebook when she shared a Mummy’s Moment about her girl’s startout in childcare.
___ Tan ‘s lil gal let her tears flowed when she saw her..”Mummy, I want to go home…” she said in full sentence…:(
Didnt know that mine would come so soon…

Today I had a Mummy’s Moment with Gary
Was getting ready to end lesson when there was a struggle between him and another child(Johnny). He wants to see Johnny’s pencil case but Johnny refused.
So knowing his violent tendency, I quickly went over and took hold of the situation.
Assigned work to class, took him out of the classroom and ask him abt how it would be if he is in Johnny’s shoe…
My Gary was in P1 too. Special child, undiagnosed condition, coping.
In ways that we didnt know, loving or hating it, everyone has a role to play…
