you make me smile.

I was just surfing through www.edwardmonkton.com and i found these.

For Jinx. The most serene person i know. 
For Juns. The first thing you do when you get back from school - go to the fridge. 


For Sarah. Too bad they didn't have a drinking one :P

For Jose. Pig because you love to eat. And happiness because you're always smiling.

and Zhen, this is for you because this seems uncannily like one of those things you do when you doodle on my books or tard around like you always do.

Prive and Brown Sugar

i went to Prive for sunday lunch today. The food was so gooood. We sat by the river (its near vivo and u can see the cable cars in the distance) so the ambiance was really relaxing. The best thing was that at least three quarters of the background music was on my ipod playlist. There was ingrid michaelson, imogen heap, colbie caillat and norah jones. Whoever chose the music has good taste.

Eggs Benedict! One of the best i've tried.

fluffy fruit pancakes :) my sister ordered that. for lunch. crazy right?
Wagyu burger! (my mum told me wagyu cows are fed beer and massaged. i want to be a wagyu cow.)
Chocolate milshake. It was okayy. Not as chocolatey as it could have been. I honestly don't see how it could have been labelled one of the best in singapore in the sunday times. 
Hazelnut Praline 
Chocolate mousse. Tasted like really soft chocolate haha.
Peanut Butter Crunch. Soft from the cake, creamy from the icing and crunchy from the peanut butter. Very rich, but very good. 
Claire and i enjoying our desserts. As you can see, i only had a sliver of the peanut butter crunch. NOT the whole thing, so don't judge me!

My dad took all the pictures. He likes to bring his camera out every sunday and teach my sisters and i about things like the aperture and lighting. i think i'll try taking more pictures one day when i'm in the mood.

Yesterday i went out to watch Hell Boy and Dark Knight. Hell boy was so boring i almost fell asleep. Who cares about some huge lumbering red man with two stumps on his head pushing some gold monster/machine around. Zhen says the blue fish guy is gay. i like the blue fish guy. He speaks with a certain air.

Dark knight was alot more satisfying. It was so disturbing though. What length are you willing to go to for revenge? Would you take the lives of many just to save your own? The ending was sad but heroic. Batman is such a dark show.

After the movies i left to go to Brown Sugar for dinner with jinx, juns, eskor and ian. It was so funny. I laughed so hard, it hurt. I finally got to eat my favourite dessert ever - sticky date toffee pudding! haha juns liked it so much she had like 3/4 of mine. tsk tsk juns is such a piggg :P

I ate so much this weekend. i can't wait for tennis and rock climbing.

Margaritas and Mexican food

I feel so healthy. This saturday i went to the gym and ran 3. smth km. That is ALOT for me. Then i surprise visited Jing xi and Sarah who were doing their homework in the area next to the sicc gym. 

zhen came over in the evening and we went out for dinner at Cha Cha Cha. The enchiladas were yummy but there was too much chicken. Wish we ordered fajitas though. Every 10 minutes, a sizzling hot plate of beef came out of the kitchen and it smelled soo GOOD.  

I love frozen margaritas.

After that we went to Cold Rock for ice cream. 

Irish cream ice cream + White cookies and cream ice cream + mint slice + strawberries = BEST COMBO EVER

my awesomeness
zhenhe! says: (8:31:28 PM)
or how we got woozy haha.


my reaction - *rolls eyes* :P  

Yes, we got woozy on half a glass of magarita (i know, we have a very low threshold for alcohol) and we were retarded all the way back :) 
oh, and zhen is awesome. 

HAPPY, ZHEN? 

Where do we go now?

once in while, I need to show my emo side.

Keeping secrets is such a burden. 

Don't tell me things if you don't have to. 

I hate keeping things from people because it makes them feel like I don't trust them. If I don't tell you something, it's for the sake of the secret teller, not because I don't trust you.

morosely happy

First week of school. Very tiring but fun. My sense of purpose has been restored.

Things have changed since the last term. 

I'm so tired. I don't like shisha. 

I'm quitting tennis. I just realized how much the instructor gets on my nerves. 

I hate it when teachers patronize us and make us feel like kindergarten kids. Amusing but offensive. 

i need a sign to reassure me that everything will be fine.
