Updates for this Week

I am suddenly at a lost at what to blog, though I have a strong urge to blog.

Maybe should start with something most recent.

I went to get my eyebrows done! I already said very long that I want to get them done, and so with that mid year payout, I got them done today!

Wah lao, seriously I can't stand how my eyebrows look like now. They look like I put some hair growing tonic on them and they sprouted hair overnight! It's dark now... and I finally have 2 eyebrows instead of 3!

Oh well, I am damn paiseh to take a photo of them right now, so u guys just imagine ba!

Anyway, the process was quite painful... essentially there is a very sharp and small knife cutting into your eyebrow all the time... but I think as time goes by, it gets easier since you kinda get used to the pain. Oh well, there is this saying called ai swee mai mia right? I fulfilled that saying completely...

Ok, second thing, my leg.

Can't go to gym for another week again... in total this month I missed 2 weeks of gym. I have bruises in my inner leg that refuses to go away, and more came after the inital ones disappeared. Plus, there is a pain in my leg (esp my calves) that is the worst in the mornings. Went to get blood test and everything, and lucky nothing serious. Sigh, but I feel myself getting fat! And I ate so much these days since I got so much free time! Sigh... got to control sia! Can't wait to get back to gym!

Ok, third thing.

Have a fabulous friday in more ways than one =) Went home at about 4plus am (maybe even close to 5am? I can't remember). Anyway, there is this thing in office that allows us to knock off early and so my weekend started much earlier than before. I actually left work when there are still daylight! Haven't done that for a long time... My friend "hard @ work"... wanted to take more photos of the food but I forgot! Was too hungry! This was at this Ding Tai Fung-ish restaurant in Bugis (can't remember the place name). Was there because I have a huge urge to eat xiao long bao for the second time of the week....
At Intercontinental Hotel lounge.. The atmosphere was awesome. Great coffee, soothing music, great company =) Btw, this is my most expensive top ever. Cost me about $70! But I love it =D Can't walk away from it even if I wanted to...

Anyway, not much photos cause I was too tired for doing so. But I did enjoy myself tremendously...

Went to watch Inception on that day too! I love that show, even though there are parts that I don't understand cause it was so cheem. Really need to pay attention to the movie closely or else will really get lost... But I love that twist about Leo's wife and the whole story line in total. Dream within dream within dream within dream. This is so amazing...

Plus, I love Leo, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard and Cillian Murphy. Anything for a Leo Show! Not to mention it is directed by Christopher Nolan...

Next up, Salt!

Ok, that's it. Till next time...

Cheerios.

P.S.

As what Linda said, I forgot to upload the macaron's photo! So here is it...

Absolutely cute right??

Busy and Tired

Have been really busy with work these days, so kinda stressed out. Got pimples starting to pop out after being 'quiet' for so long... Sigh!

Anyway, the more stressed out I am recently, the more often I went out to chill. Been to a few new places recently, thanks to a friend. LOL, next to him I am like a mountain turtle sia. Never been to these places before.


First up, Canele

It's located at Shaw House next to Mango, very near Isetan. The food to me is so so, but Ying Ying's macaron is so cute! (But too sweet for me). Went there with my IE clan for this =)




My baked rice... the white thing in the middle is an egg...



Second, Keppel Bay.


It is a restaurant bar place whereby there is a seaside view and stuff. Nice place to talk and chill out actually. Best to go at night I think, because it seems like it will be extremely hot in the afternoon... And I don't think it will be good for big group of people, because it seems like the place is made for more cozy hangouts than for a group gathering.


No pictures, because I forgot to bring my camera. But trust me, it's a nice place.


Third, LOL. I don't remember what's the name of this food place. I am afraid that I get the food place name wrong actually...


It's located at first level of 313 Somerset, and if you sit on the outside, you can see the coffee club and california fitness. It has the most delicious potato wedges! It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Yummy! Maybe next time if I am there, I will find out the name!


Accordingly to my friend, they served the best lattes but I didn't order one because I was already suffering from overdose of caffinine due to the boringness of the course I had that day & the free flow of coffee...


Some pictures here.








Fourth, Grill out!


Haha, it's at the topmost floor of Orchard Central, and frankly this is my favourite place out of the 4!


The view is fantastic, the food is great and they play retro english music! (ie Boyzone's Picture of You, Sheryl Crow's Soak Up the Sun and Shakespeare In Love) Haha, my friend and I had a great laugh at the music actually... The drink is so so (my mango margarita is not frozen but look like a mango pudding...) and the baked potatoes are amazing with lotsa bacon bits! Haha!


Yes, I love all things potato-ey! But trying to control because it's fattening!










Did not put photos of me and my friend here because not sure whether he wants his face to be shown on the world wide web... maybe next time if I got the chance to ask him and he says yes I will post them here =)

Anyway, have been eating A LOT recently =( I feel like I am going through puberty for the second time! I bought Yan Yan the other day and I saw that there are words on the biscuits! LOL so interesting!




Also, I have been trying to look for Smarties for the longest time, and guess what? I found it at the most unlikest place! Guess where did I found it?




At one of the supermarkets near my house! Haha! I swear I wasn't specifically looking for them because I was looking for rations (ie tidbits) for my house! And there they were, staring right back at me when I was trying to taking Yan Yan... so happy right now!


Anyway, post picture of broccoli and me... haha!





Also, during the week, I watched Chloe. This is actually a rather interesting show with a nice twist. Thought at first that this show might be really slow (it's those artsy artsy movie which I like but hate to watch after a workday because it's too heavy) but it's actually quite good. There is Amanda Seyfried (from Mamma Mia), Liam Neeson (from Narnia's Aslan) and Julianne Moore (The Hours), which I like a lot. She's like another version of Meryl Streep to me... Anyway, if you got time, should catch this show.



Oh well, I guess this is it. Going to end this entry now...


Cheerios!

It's just so complicated.

It's so hard to be misunderstood.

I'm tired from the lack of sleep last night. Sleeping now so that I can see the match later...

Maybe will blog another time.

Utterly Confused.

Damn it lo. This is just so confusing. Utterly lost at what to do.


I hate confusions loh. I am just someone who is so stupid that I don't know how to read 'signals'. Can just tell me?

Takes me a lot to blog about it here. Saying it out loud means that there is an issue, and sometimes I just want to keep denying that there is an issue.


Making new tempemental friends are so exhausting.


Meanwhile, have eaten a lot these days. Think I am putting on weight.... damn. Too stressed.

Sigh, it is so hard to be an adult at times.
