Up and about town


As you can tell, I've gotten lazy. And this crazy hot weather has not been helping. It makes one feel so lethargic all the time, so much so that you just end up doing nothing but feeling very tired at the end of the day. So much has been happening/not happening since I came back from Vietnam, I don't know where to start updating. Imma just talk about today first and update as and when.

Tian and Tang 
We decided to meet up before I go off to Indo and then Europe and Tang goes off to Taiwan and Tian goes off to Japan. The agenda for the day consisted of shopping and food. As always.

Tang suggested this relatively new place at Ngee Ann City. She calls it a boulangerie aka a fancy synonym for a bakery, pretty much. But you know what, I forgot to try its bread! D: when we entered I thought to myself that I would get some bread at the counter on the way out, but we were so stuffed after our meal there that I completely forgot. Oh well.

What I ate: I forgot the name of this, but it's some salad.

 ...and that is why I will never become a famous food blogger; I just do not have the memory capacity to retain the fancy names of the dishes. Besides, it's french, so pardon me. The portion is really huge and it's very 丰盛; it had like walnuts, raisins, green apple slices, chicken breast, emmental cheese, carrot and assorted veggies. Healthy and quite yummy, except for the purple veggies. I do not eat purple veggies.

Millefeuille! the chocolate one.
I do not think there a glam way to eat this thing, you kinda have to massacre it. But I love flaky pastry I could probably eat flaky pastry every day. Anyway this was quite nice imo, not too heavy on the palate even though it was cream-filled.

The tea set: choice of tea (earl grey), two macarons, mini creme brulee and brownie-like cake; we each ordered one of this. Yes, after one main each.

The bill came up to more than a hundred for the 3 of us, so it was a rather pricey random tea/dinner. But I guess it's 'cause we were kinda eating two meals together, what with a main course and a tea set each. And a slice of millefeuille. Service was excellent though, the staff were friendly and polite and enquired about how we liked the food etc.

Being "juvenile"

In other daily news, my spree parcel finally came in! I crept downstairs after midnight to retrieve this from the mailbox before mum could discover it. The basement carpark was rather eery, even though I've been home way later many times before. I kept thinking what a good murder spot that could be and expecting something/someone to spring out at me. Like if the security guard had been walking by I think I'd have gotten a shock (-_-") The headlines the next day could have been: "Law undergrad frightened to death retrieving spree parcel at midnight". ...smart way to die.

The haul: four items of clothing, one of which I wore today

Little prince in jap/chinese and JLPT prep assessment book
Tian lugged these back from Shanghai for me! So I shall be hardworking and revise my japanese diligently and pass the N3 test this year-end! ...actually I don't even know if there is a JLPT examination in December.

Staring at me defiantly and refusing to budge from my bookshelf

Dozing off while watching me craft
