*~ Cherindipity Moments ~*

By coincidence and totally unplanned for, i saw Henderson waves for the first time while feng and i were driving along Telok Blangah. Being curious and feeling really ulu for a Singaporean.. i was dying to visit the place. But knowing how inappropriate it was i didn't dare to really ask feng about it. girl, i really appreciate u stopping by the place for me to take a look.. i really hope your troubles will be solved and as a friend i can only be there as much as you need me to..

The beginning of the wave

It was a terrible hot sunday afternoon and both of us were super in appropriately dressed, feng was in heels and they were getting stuck in grooves between the wooden planks of the bridge.


Henderson waves

But it was all worth a little sun, the place is great! I'm lookin forward to HORTPARK next!

Thanks to yingwei for checking out nice places for dinner, we settled for dinner at Creperie des Arts, a small restaurant opened by a french couple who moved to singapore 3 yrs ago. The chef was actually the 2nd son of the couple~ hmm again thanks to yingwei's research work we chatted a little with the boss to get these facts~

After some recommendation from the owner himself, we ordered a bottle of apple cider (2% alcohol) which costs $30.

Famous for crepes obviously, i ordered one with egg and ham.. strange combination for dinner maybe, but it was great at $18.90.

Remembering teck's first attempt with a shy snail who had retreated into a far end of its shell.. the boss had to help us poke it out. :P (6 pcs - $15.50)


*~ Escargots for the curious ones ~*


*~ Dessert!~ Creole! @ $17.90~ ~*

We met the rest of the gang at Mind's Cafe for 2 hours of games and snacks where we ended up playing only 1 game of Citadels which we have at home.. so $12.90 for that wasn't so worth it.. Plus.. the table next to us were so excited over Jurassic Jumble!! *puuhhh*


*~ This is us, after a hard 2 hours of scheming at citadels ~*

Visited Saizerya @ Liang Court for a 2nd time and brought a proper camera with me but unfortunately not the appetite :(

The official website in Japanese

The prices on the menu are pretty affordable for the quality and variety of food you get there.


The garlic foccacia costs $2+. Goes well with soups (seafood, clam chowder & minestrone)


This tasty spicy sausages and potato wedges were just $5+ and they tasted great and hot from the pan!


The hamburg steak with some additional bacon, especially looking good with the sunny-side-up of course! Except the egg which was a little hard, this main course was still reasonably priced at less than $10!


The risotto was also unique, and soupy.. i'm not so familiar with how it ought to taste or look :P costs i think $7+?


There's always some space for dessert especially when its chocolate cake! The cake was good~ and chocolatey but a little more pricey compared to the other members on the menu for $5+.

Free flow of drinks from the drinks bar is just < $3 where u get soft drinks, coffee, tea and juice.

If you're just looking for a nice place for dinner but not intending to spend too much, this is definitely worth a try. :)

Hmm.. been a mth plus since i last blogged. I have not disappeared, just taking a break and thinking things through although I can't really make any decisions now. So I will just do what's on my plate to the best possible and wait for any next instructions. :)

Mom has decided my camera had a bigger screen and forgotten to return it... am really tempted to buy a new auto camera which can take photos of SLR quality. Any recommendations?



Yet another accomplishment! The Gem of Life, 82 episodes.. i'm finally done!! (after about a mth..) Cried my accumulated frustrations out with the last 10 or so episodes till 1+ am last night. Now i'm clear headed again, rested and ready to go :)

it's always been a habit that when i go shoes-shopping, i can't never stop at one pair, but in times like these it calls for some self discipline~ i guess i will stop at 3... :)

had been needing a pair of sport shoes to join in the B-run (Borland-run) we have every wednesday after work. It may now become MF-run (Micro Focus-run) if all goes well the following 6~8 weeks.Headed down to Queensway, a popular place to get sports attire at a good price, and finally and picked up this cool pair. The man with wings stood out among the common nike designs~ it was almost love at first sight~ :D

$179 $125

After Angels and Demons at Great World, i got "lured" into EverBest for the first time.. always had the impression they had comfy shoes, and which girl doesn't need comfy shoes??

Probably this is the 'not-such-a-good-deal' among the 3 but i was attracted to the tiny flowers and it fitted my new criteria that it should not make "flip-flop" sounds when i walk into the office :P


$79.9 $49.90

Another good deal~ 50% discount because they do not have the regular sizes available. I had picked up one of a darker colour but they ran out of my size. The lady managed to convince me that beige was also nice and it turns out the pearly colour looked good in photos~


$99.90 $49.50

Confessions of a shopaholic~ ;) I am now done justifying my buys~ Shopping never fails to make girls happy~

How did a bunch of engineers spend their Labour day?
