Yet another day filled with love. Some see it as a specific day to pamper the most important woman in their life, some see it as just an ordinary day where every second is merely just a tick on the clock, some feel that it’s a day to be coerced or pressurized into buying/making a gift for that woman. Well, it should be just an ordinary day in the sense that every day should be a day filled with endless gratitude and love showered upon the woman, upon the people whom you love. My siz and I each prepared a dessert for our Heroine who has a sweet tooth. She made strawberry truffles while I made coconut & pandan layered kueh. 

Simple dinner at The Grandma’s Kitchen, a relatively new dining place. The food is good, to the point that Heroine praised that it tastes better than her cooking which is the FIRST time, so that says it all. 

My fav KL hokkien mee.

My weekends were so packed I even had to set alarms on both days, something I don't usually do because I wish for my weekends to be less hectic. Moreover, it's sufficient to be setting alarms on 5 out of 7 days in a week right? Last weekend was packed with meaningful activities and I didn't have sufficient sleep on both Fri & Sat nights. The waking up early part was a feat, it was the sleeping late the night before part that made me really grouchy for not having ample beauty sleep.

Anyway, Redbull, shell & I accompanied wy for her monthly medical check-up and her bb is 14 weeks old which means WE CAN KNOW THE GENDER! A bb BOY! Now we can buy gender specific things. 

Indescribable emotions the moment this appeared on the flat screen. This was my first time seeing a new life that has yet to be brought to earth. Every thing so fragile, precious and amazing contained in this little new life. I was left bewildered seeing how big this little bb is despite how wy's weight has been dropping since her pregnancy. You continue growing healthily, little bb. But at the same time, try to spare your mummy as little agony as possible. Be healthy, both you precious darlings.

The rare day wy's appetite grew.

We had lunch at Saveur. Disappointed at the basmati rice with chicken roulade. The rice was watery and less rich. Their rice was one of my favs. The seabass, duck confit & pistachio dessert maintained the standard though I'm kinda sick of Saveur for the time being. The downside of having it too frequently. 

Right after Saveur, we Q up for Sushi Bar at fep while shell went for her waxing which is just opposite. By the time she was done, it was our turn. Yes, the Q is always long. But we were rewarded with food that was worthy of the Q. 

Had 2 plates of this salmon aburi. Am gonna try the soft shell crab salmon aburi the next time.

Their sirloin steak is a must try! 

Sunday was healthy trekking day at Bukit Timah Hill with the couple who was late. Redbull & I went ahead with the trekking by ourselves and halfway through, they called to say they were on their way so we took the same route back to the main road. 

What's better than a weekend spent exploring food and cozy looking shops along rows of shop-houses with back alleys that are worth stopping for some photo-taking? That was my Saturday. Trying my best to ignore my constipation problem, I decided to pamper it with food hoping it'd get better and it didn't. But at least food wise, it left me no room to whine about.

Child kidnapper alert! 

Books Actually
I haven't had time to immerse myself in world of words for so long. All my reading time is devoted to studying and slipping in time to catch up on news daily. Reading news is probably the closest I've been to actually reading during my degree phase. Long forgotten are the touch of storybooks in my hands, the smell of the pages when I flip over and the reluctant slipping of my bookmark in between the pages when I've to stop reading. I'll be back on my reading track after I'm done with my final wees. Reading of books which I'm emotionally attracted to and of course those that I'm 'financially' and 'economically' attracted to if you get what books those are.

PS Cafe only allows takeaways and the limited seats are only suitable for wine tasting or desserts and the Q at a food bistro signified a wait too terrifying for our famished stomachs, we settled for Poteato.
The truffle fries reminded me that I still haven't pay Sprmrkt a visit for their highly raved truffle fries. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that this truffle fries' sub-standard reminded me of that, this plate is goodness itself. 

Buffalo wings

My BBQ ribs with a unique sauce which tastes of Indian's spices that I, fortunately, like. No racist intention, just that Jeremy didn't like the taste of spice in the sauce like I did,

Having laid my eyes on PS Cafe's desserts section earlier on, it would be a sin if I didn't take a leap at their desserts so here, this rich and moist chocolate cake with generous layer of nuts. Though delicious, but it is on the pricier side to me. $12 for a slice of cake. I guess I ain't cut out for those high-end tai tai hi-tea lifestyle. 

LONG TIME CRAVING! Creamier waffles! My liking for waffles found its way of enlightenment when I had my first bite on Wimbly Lu's thick, crispy & fluffy waffles. Never thought I'd find a waffle that I'd like more (equally yes but not more) until I tried Creamier's. 

The main reason why I prefer Creamier's is because it's thicker yet it doesn't lose the crispiness & fluffiness. And their interesting flavors of ice-cream appeals more to me than Wimbly's.

This was 2 weekends back, where the night was filled with laughters, incessant nonsense and catching up with that friend whom we all haven't met in ages. 

Strangers' Reunion for desserts cause Wimbly Lu was too far from town. 

And well, Strangers' Reunion's waffles never made me miss Wimbly Lu's waffles any lesser. It was good enough, minus the comparison part.

I bookmarked quite a list of eating places that I'm intending to try out. Yes, Sg is just a tiny red dot, but there're many delightful surprises around the corners if we know exactly where to venture to. This time round, my siz & I went to Duxton Hill, Flor Patisserie, a cafe which is known for its Japanese pastries & frozen cheese-tarts. 

Flor Patisserie is a warm & snuggly cafe which also means it's very petite, only able to accommodate that few modest tables of customers. 

Their popular Napoleon was sold out by the time we went, which was around 2pm. Either we were really too late or its Napoleon is really that popular. 

These 2 cakes that we had are delicious, but they aren't as unique as we had expected them to be. Guess we were too immersed in our intense imagination of how unique desserts could be. Come to think of it, tasty desserts are satisfying enough, why on earth were we so greedy to be expecting more, right?

 Humans humans *shakes head*

Not a strawberry fan, but these are big & juicy. 

As the frozen cheese-tart can only stay unrefrigerated for an hour, my siz bought it for Heroine only after we've finished walking the streets of Chinatown. While roaming, we were surrounded by Thais and their soothing and gentle accents.

Just last Saturday, had my siz to be my companion for the Night Festival. 

The alley beside the Peranakan Museum.

Peranakan Museum, the place where we stayed the longest given the fact that it was our first time there and the Peranakan in us were captivated by all the exquisite details on every single object being displayed. 

Look at all these pouches & purses! How to contain all the gaspings & exclamations of "Oh my God!"? We couldn't and we didn't! 

GIVE US THESE KEBAYAS! NOW!

After leaving the Peranakan Museum in awe, we continued the trailing and found our way to Art Museum. Though it didn't captivate us like the Peranakan Museum did, we had our fair share of fun moments.

At the open field of Fort Canning where the skies appeared too gloomy. 

Everyone gathered around to witness the performance of our local illusionists. Apparently, that performance was averred to break the world's record. Think it was the height of 75 feet or something along that line. Just a tinge of breathlessness which lasted only for a brief moment, nonetheless, a live performance like this is memorable indeed.
