♒Åℚ∪Åℜ│⊔S ♒: Sisters day out

Showing posts with label Sisters day out. Show all posts

When we decide to be spontaneous and make the best out of an entire day, we'll have an extraordinary outing to somewhere we don't usually frequent. In this instance, trekking at Macritchie.

We had a close to 20 minutes 'warm up' session because the bus driver ignored the BUS STOPPING sign and continued to drive for another 2 bus stops before finally stopping. Plus, we realized we were walking in the wrong direction cause there was no way for us to cross to the opposite side of the road.

Well, just treat that as a warm up.

One of the entrances.

Alice in the Wonderland? And why is my siz glowing? Vampire in disguise!

Picking the best sturdy branch.

Came out of the woods to a breathtaking view.

*inhale, exhale, repeat the same motion*

There're always signs at every junction, ensuring that we get to where we want to. Best for direction idiots like me. Throw me a map & compass, I'll probably just die in the jungles.

Ran up the green slope which is supposedly within the area of private property. Just a golf course. Sat on the patch of damp grass munching on snacks while overlooking the reservoir.

Two sleepy faces

Continued on The Journey to Treetop and spotted this bird that is totally unafraid of us. We were squatting in front of it and all it did was to continue looking for food.

Then came the steep slope to the Treetop where the gang of monkeys are. Every encounter with monkeys always makes me realize their uncanny resemblance to human beings. There was one mischievous monkey sitting face to face with another friend of his/her and nonchalantly plucking his/her friend's chest furs!

Never look back in life.
Imagine halfway through the bridge, there's a grizzly bear charging right at you but you can't turn back cause this sign says so!

Finally!

Trekked for around 2-3hours for a walk across a bridge that lasted less than 15 minutes. But, the view and company can never be measured against time.

Down we go

Never once did I forget to count my blessings and you, my siz, is one of my irreplaceable blessings. The unspoken words among the silence during the trekking. The strength of support that is contained in an invisible pillar between us. All the countless moments I have with you. We know each other better than the horoscopes say of us. Thanks for being my love one which is why I love myself, because if I wasn't me, I wouldn't have you and I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else than be in this family of ours.

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.

When you find the clock ticking by too fast, you'll realize that's because of the company.

A sisters day out on Wednesday to celebrate my siz's last day at work. *pops champagne*

Since we had a few hours to spare before dinner time, a visit to Teo Heng was a great idea.

Why Teo Heng?

For those hardcore Kbox fans, time for betrayal! Though there're only 3 Teo Heng outlets, in terms of price, Teo Heng is a way wiser choice if you're keen to save your wallet. Moreover, the sound quality is comparable to Kbox and their songs are relatively updated.

Initially, we thought since it was only the both of us, we wouldn't have to go for the usual 3 hours, so we opted for 2 hours instead. BUT, towards the end, we realized we thought too lowly of our singing stamina. We ended up singing the first few lines of the last ~6-7 songs so we could run through every single song.

Suggestion by siz to dine at 49 seats (there are exactly 49 seats thus the name).

Unique interior.

L OO K at the wallpaper! Would be a waste to not make full use of it as your background shot.

Anyway, I thought those are trees until I saw the fishes.

Only food I wanted to try was this -

TOM YUM SEAFOOD PASTA!

Price: $14.90

Signature dish & highly raved after.

Best recommended to people who love tom yum and creamy base pasta! Don't fret if you're thinking that this would taste like a typical bowl of laksa, it doesn't.

Even me, an ex-lover of tom yum found my love for tom yum being rekindled. I used to love tom yum very much until I suffered from a serious food poisoning at Phuket. Everyone who had that tom yum soup suffered the same fate as me so it definitely wasn't because my stomach couldn't take street food cause I've always love street food since I was at a tender age. That incident was so vividly gross I could taste the vomit in my mouth every time I try tom yum soups.
