What to do over at Bukit Timah? Rider's cafe & Pasarbella market

Very outdated, yes. Both on the number of entries on this page as well as the topic itself. I'm only writing about rider's cafe (only because i visited it recently) now! Can you believe it? Yeap, believe it, there's a girl out there who is too lazy to catch up with the whole cafe trend.

It was a lovely surprise by SJ, Joey and Yingting for my 22nd birthday. Rider's cafe! It's definitely a place i had been meaning to visit because there were so much reviews and pictures about it sprawled all over social media aka instagram. Gotta #hashtag that place myself now! LOL

Their burgers are actually really good (despite being burgers!) Love the softness and tangy-bite of the beef (is it wagyu) when its half done. One of the cheaper options on the menu so give it a good if you are looking for recommendation (Y)

The lighting damn cui but its already 8pm so pardon the bad picture lah! A group picture with all the lovely people & their present for me (love all of you dip dip) which is a xi-guay bag from Kate Spade. Xinni was saying that she didn't know i like such things hahaha. 

Liking quirky and weird things more and more as i grew up, a feeble attempt at trying to be non-mainstream perhaps?

Head over to Pasarbella market (last minute decision for drinks and catch-up) since it was not far and all of us haven't been there before, so jiu go lor.

Prententious moment whereby you act atas and eat cheese whilst drinking wine (yeah, coming from first hand experience, i would rather eat normal meat/seafood with wine lol)

*picture from instagram so its blurry

Ending the post with a #selfie & #wefie

Happy 22 years old to myself! WOOTS (a little too late but better than never)

Thank you to everyone and the girls and the boyfriend and the parents for making my 22 years old a simple yet magical one yet again.

... i promise my alice in wonderland party will come soon, when i decide that the worth-ness > money spent. 

Maybe 23 years old? 

HAHAHA see ya <3

SJ's birthday over at Republic of Singapore Yacht Club (RSYC)

Hihi! I'm going to finish this blog post up by 10:15pm and prepare to head off to bed - YES, that's how early i'm sleeping these days. I slept at 10.30pm last night and woke up at 8am this morning - still feeling sluggish when i woke up, but definitely felt much more energized as compared to Monday. Monday was horrible.

This time next week i would already be over at KL and checking into a really nice apartment with SJ, Junli and Marc! I don't really crave a beach getaway because i'm not a beach person, but its a much needed breather from the thoughts i've been implanting into myself lately. Not too sure i would like to share them here, but yeap!

So, i booked Republic of Singapore Yacht Club for SJ's birthday, thinking that it's really cool since there would be sea view and such, and also the pictures on agoda looks super lovely.

Who wouldn't be sold right?! 

HAHAHAH but turns out, it's not exactly a hotel-hotel, but more of like a clubhouse kinda thing? I emailed them beforehand though to ask if they were able to "decorate" (what was i thinking) the room up because "my fiance and me are celebrating our anniversary" HA, i know lah, i lied. They didn't do up the room as requested, but they did place a bottle of complimentary wine for us. Quite sweet right! I totally didn't expect anything in return from them since we are only staying for a night, but <3

SEE, THIS IS WHAT I CALL "LONG HAUL BENEFITS"

You give your guests a small gift and they help you advertise, like now.

The bottle of free wine hahaha

Lunch over at Buona Vista

===========================================

Went over to lunch over at BV because the club is located around 3 - 4km away from Star Vista. Headed over to Goemon and ate my fave squid ink spag <3

He ordered some soapy ramen which tastes pretty bland so yeah, heads up guys. 

Reached RSYC

===========================================

Nobody here yet, so jiu start taking pictures lo. The room is situated such that its next to the pool and it was so, so hot that day that the sunlight shone right in through the curtains. I know, very exaggerating but sadly, #truth.

Natural sunlight liao hahahaha

Do you see me trying to werkz that model's vibe? Slightly open mouth, intense look, messy hair.

Idk what the models are thinking when they do such a pose with so many backend crew looking at them. 

Wow such a cheeky looking picture. 

Wow i look like an idiot

Ok so basically i just camwhored a lot.

& then SJ's friends came and interrupted my camwhore session.

 HAHA, ok lah i not so vain ok wtf

The guys/girls came and we started chatting about

- NS life

- CAREER

- MARRIAGE

omg like wtf? The leap of topics from 3 years ago to now is too huge to comprehend. But honestly, i guess when you start to grow older, the spectrum of topics changes as well. 

#Noob (see below)

Hahah then below the pictures i very lazy to elaborate liao lah so you just scroll through, then can click and close already.

On RSYC

I think its a pretty nice place (albeit small) for gatherings because we were quite loud but nobody came to knock on our rooms (UNLIKE STUDIO M), but the location can be a little far out/deserted for those who don't drive. 

Not grand looking so if you are looking to celebrate your birthdays in style, you might wish to look at other boutique hotels. Overall, a pretty decent clubhouse with average service and kind gesture (free bottle of wine) and scenic view - please only head out in the evening because the sun can be mean

Its around $130 on agoda.com, so if it suits your palate, why not? Plus, you have access to 'The Wharf' which has some killer reviews online, but little, because its only accessible to guests/members.

Such exclusivity,,,

Ok i finished this at 10:28pm, so i need to go off now.

BYEEEEE

Wednesday //

Taking a break from my last individual assignment of the semester. Last week was crazy, mainly because i was juggling an individual assignment (50%) wtf and a test (15%) which were due on the same date. I know it seems kinda little like, 2 only mah!, but the assignment got my friends and i super whoozy and feeling like crap because the instructions ain't that clear and my lecturer was PMS-ing (a lot) during that week. 

But its goneeeeee.

Ok, maybe not really. One last assignment due next Monday and i would be free-er. Would only be left with one last group project and then its exam, & then i would officially graduate from the school. Seems like only yesterday that i applied for RMIT and felt really disappointed at myself not making into any of the local universities. But my perceptions had changed a bit since then and even though i still recognize the clear difference on the quality of the degree certification, i learnt that going through the 'private schooling' route made me realized many things that i would otherwise not be able to 'feel'/'have a taste of' if i were to go on the traditional route. 

I think sometimes, you just have to see the best in what's there for you and look at the bright side. 

Ok, so back on to whats up. I'm currently typing this away over at a quaint Starbucks in NUS with Joey beside me. Her report is due today, and she's only starting on it today. Talk about last minute hahahaha.

Walked pass Prinsep area the other day and had a go at nookie. There's apparently a queue and i remembered seeing mentions of it somewhere around FB. Had a go at it and bought the choco banana ($6.90) and liked their instagram page for 10% off. 

It's just not really for me i guess. 

Went for a gathering for my grandmother's birthday over at my aunt's house the other day. Look at the cake! Super pretty right? We celebrated a week before in conjunction with CNY

Brought this dude along because he was afraid to be alone during the weekend 8D 

Hahaha kidding lah

& these were the food that we ate on her actual birthday over at her house. Look at that pot of goodness with abalone and all /lovey dovey eyes. & i helped my dad to cook that plate of sweet and sour fish ok! :D

The other day over at his house. Went to his house and he cooked Spag for me (wheee) and visit Tigger as well. He still loves to squeeze between us - separation anxiety? Haha

Much lightbulb leh!

But ok lah, look at those puppy eyes. 

Come lah come lah

I can't remembered why did i dig this picture out from my FB but i remember i wanted to show someone how i looked like when i had long fringe. Maybe it was to post on my dayre but i kinda miss this hairstyle and look!

This picture really like not bad ah, Deb's selfie skill really damn zai.

Missing this girl loads too, goodluck with studies yeah, ah girl!

Came across this show on my newsfeed yesterday and tried to watch the first episode .. and now i'm on my 5th episode.

ITS GOOD

I'm definitely not a fan of the DC franchise but this show is really good. Kinda excited to see Joker and Harley in the show soon but in the meantime, im good with Penguin, Cat and Fish's plot progress. I wish they focus more on Cat and Ivy though - but Penguin's actor has a flair for acting.

Cant wait for more and season 2!

21st Birthday Celebration!

So, i celebrated my 21st birthday last weekend and it was really simple because:

1. Seeing so many people having birthday parties made me think that it was getting a little too 'mainstream' and i wanted mine to be a little different, though i'm really just too 

2. Poor, especially since i would be travelling at the end of the year to BKK! (shoppinggggg)

3. I have friends who are from different areas in my life (Secondary school, poly, cosplay, internship, university etc etc) and within those categories, there are sub-categories. So to make sure that everyone is enjoying themselves, i really have to run around and talk to everyone. & i'm just too friggin lousy as a host to make that happen LOL.

So a simple celebration it is!

Thank you to every single one of you who wished my happy birthday online/offline, and especially to those who gifted me with presents and even took the liberty to celebrate this birthday with me! 

Thank you so much :)

I'll make this entry different from my usual chirpy ones, and let the visuals takeover :)

Thank you SJ, Deborah and Kwanter for the lovely watch as a present :)

Salt Grill and Bar - Afternoon Tea

Smoothie King - Cineleisure (waiting for dinner time)

SO SURPRISED BUT FEELING SO BLESSED?!

Haha, love all of you <3

Would still be meeting up with some friends for catch-up over dinz and all. Even though there had been a few hiccups here and there, just super glad that i'm finally 21years old! :)

Thanks for reading <3
