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. 

A productive weekend. More of such weekends. 
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.


The night got more interesting after our late night indulgence of waffles. Impromptu trip to Bukit Batok Nature Park had us seeing two 'suspicious' looking cars parked at dark corners of the park with their engine off, blinds drawn. Hanky-panky moments. Though the cars weren't 'rocking'. Haha. Either it's cost-saving (than a motel/hotel) or they find it adventurous. Either way, it's weird to me. 
Anyway, we may be going back to Bukit Timah Hill this coming Sunday for trekking because the darkness prevented us from doing so that night.
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.

We find ourselves being caught up in the time affair, puzzled over why time never fails to change things. Be it relationships, mindsets, opinions, the food we grow to like or detest, the paths we chose to take, etc. So many changes, both in the past and future. We're all puppets in front of time because aside from moving along with it, what else can we do? Rewind or pause or fast forward? Nah, none of the above. Like I've said, we're merely puppets. But, one thing is for sure, no one should be able to stand in the way of how we choose to spend our time, unless we allow them to. We can't be puppets of everything, can we? 
Suddenly, I lost track of time while typing out this post. Not a single recollection as to what public holiday it was when my girlfriends & I went for buffet. Was about to say it was Vesak Day but I think I jumbled it up with Labour Day instead. 

Well, anyway, I got to know of this ladies night buffet at Sheraton Towers from Dan. 50% off the usual price of $62.80++ for ladies on a Wednesday night. This idea of promotion was fresh to me because I've only known of ladies night at clubs/pubs. A fresh idea is always a good idea right? At least it is in this instance. 

Before meeting WY to head to Sheraton Towers, Janice & I went for our monthly facial session at JB. After the pampering session on our faces, we still had ample time for a movie. That was the 2nd movie we've caught together since we were 13yo. Chose Drug War merely because 古天乐 was starring in it (duh!) & the dumb fact that Sg doesn't allow movies/local shows/channels to be in dialects. BIG BOO to the last fact. On one hand, the government is emphasizing on the importance of staying true to our roots & diverse cultures but on the other hand, it forbids any dialect to be spoken through the tv screen? Bravo, guess the new idiom is "Don't practice what you preach"

As usual, WY never fails to live up to her undesirable reputation of being the Late Queen. 9 years of friendship & I can actually count the number of times she was punctual with one hand. Janice got so bored she started touching up on her make up while we were waiting on the mrt platform. 

Exploring each other's make up pouches & trying theirs on another.

First station (which is also the station we went back the most number of times) was SASHIMI! We really did have our fill for a month supply of sashimi on that one night. 




Pardon for the disturbance and/or annoyance caused to all customers & workers that night but that's always the case whenever the 3 musketeers let loose (which we always do).We could try to be demure for perhaps, one minute, but even that short span of time of silence is a deprive of our freedom to LOUD speech. HAHAHA!
