June & July 2014

12:50 AM

Hey guys! Sorry the post is a day late! But this post is gonna be mostly pictures and y'all can live vicariously through my pictures of the past 2 months, like I've said! The start of June, which was the start of my break, I went to Haji Lane with my friend for the first time! I know, I know, that's really slow of me. For those who don't know what's Haji Lane, its basically a hipster street with lots of indie shophouses which are really cool and artsy fartsy. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures but I believe most Singaporeans would know what it looks like, if not just google it. Love the vibe there and the stuff they sell! But they're all out of my budget, really cool clothings and accessories and other stuff. Maybe when I have the money?

Next, during the first week of June I went to my friend's house to make KIMCHI! Pretty fun experience and I met some of her other friends too. (Awkward turtle attempted to socialize here)

The breakfast I made for Father's Day! Here we have baked sweet potato fries, tuna salad and these scrambled egg muffins! Filled with spinach, tomato and bacon! So proud of myself, but the preparation and washing up was madness.

Fast forward to the third week of June, coz' the previous week I pretty much just rotting at home, dinner at Kith's Cafe with my friends!!! Was pretty yummmmz, but rather pricey! The coffee's pretty good too!

KOREAN FOOD FOR MY BIRTHDAY IN ADVANCED! YAYYYYYY
This was at Togi Restaurant(?) really really good if you're a korean food lover like me! Try their potato pancakes and ddeokbokki! 

My expensive birthday cake that cost $50? $60? My greedy dog tried to eat it as you can see.

This was after a week of exams and we felt like we needed a break. So waffles at Assembly Coffee! Earl Grey Caramel Waffles! I liked it!


Steamboat at Hai Di Lao for my dad's very advanced birthday dinner! Usually people have to queue for 3 hours just to eat this, the service is really good and they provide entertainment while you queue too! The ingredients are fresh and the Ma La (hot spicy) soup base was not too spicy so that was a plus!

My Earl Grey and Lavender ice cream cone from Sunday's Folk which is a branch of Creamier. Love the flavour! 

This was really exciting! We had a learning journey (excursion) to the Art Science Museum at Marina Bay Sands!!!! We were lucky coz' there were some classes that had to go Labrador Park or some Malay Heritage Centre, but there was also the S.E.A Aquarium. 
The exhibitions they had was the Dinosaur exhibition and the Annie Leibovitz Exhibition. I was really really excited coz' I've never been to the museum and go for such exhibitions before! We only had 1 hour there though, so we were practically zooming past everything. I think I liked the Annie Leibovitz Exhibition a little more maybe because it made me feel more artistic and sophisticated just coz' I was "appreciating" art. I probably don't know much about photography but I did love the pictures that tell a story. They were really interesting and captivating, but unfortunately I don't really know how to appreciate the portraits of people, especially of people I don't know. Photography wasn't allowed in Leibovitz's exhibition, so no pictures for y'all! Really happy to have the opportunity to visit the museum.


After the exhibitions, I had Macarons! (Not macaroons! THEY ARE DIFFERENT. GET IT RIGHT.) From TWG, my favourite flavour of Moroccan Mint i think. 

And IIAO IIAO. (attention its IIao IIao and not LLAO LLAO, and it's pronounced at YAO YAO, we asked.) Its hyped up by many and I admit it's good, it tastes better than other froyos in the market ( I still love my Yami Yogurt) but I'm kind of sick of seeing people posting pictures of it around. (The irony coz' I'm posting it here) Pretty good but I kind of think its a tad bit over rated.

My Roast Beef on Sourdough, coz' they ran out of Rye. SO GOOD! This is from The Lokal by the way, a newly opened cafe owned by an Australian chef I think??? (correct me if I'm wrong) They make their own ricotta and yogurt so that's really cool. A tad bid pricier than your usual cafes but really good food. 

MY BANDAGE FROM DONATING BLOOD. I feel so proud of myself for doing it though I almost fainted from it (well I started feeling nauseous towards the end, when the bag was almost full) But still proud of myself nevertheless coz' I was so scared (a wimp I know). I got rejected the last time because I had a cough and was really disappointed but luckily the school hosts the blood donation drive twice a year. 
Okay so I actually just went to the Istana, which is actually August but you know it's close enough. The Istana is open to the public when there's an event or special occasion, in this case it's National day and Hari Raya Puasa. My mum wanted to go and since we've never been there before, I agreed. Honestly, there's nothing much, basically just ornaments and gifts they've received from other countries placed around. It was a long walk from the gate to the building.

Me in front of some flowers wearing my new shades! (not a very flattering photo of me, when do I actually look good? like NEVER.

SO.... That's a summary of exciting (kinda) things I've done over the course of June and July. Hope y'all like it? Though it's mostly pictures and not much insightful words. Do tell me if you like such posts or its really boring. I kinda feel iffy about it... Until next time! Cheerio!
