Moved
see you on the other side! (:
As the mugging begins,
This is the part of the year where i wish my days would be >24hours a day
And hoping that every day speeds past at a slower rate
My colleagues say my exams are still far
But they dont know that my prelims are in 16 days.
I hope not to work every morning and switch it to 2.5 days a week instead
The awesomeness of having a flexi job is having the ability to discuss shit and make it a win-win situation for everybody
I reached my first lowest point yesterday
So im going to take a break today after work
and find some kickass food, hopefully pasta, over the weekend
Goodbye weekends!
I’ll see you again on May 20.
For now, it’s either study days
or rest days.
Monogramme
A couple of weeks back, Monogramme had a gig at Esplanade’s Waterfront and i managed to catch some shots! (:
They’re a band that formed when they were in Catholic Junior College, after some members left and some better ones entered, the current line up consist of Ming Xuan (drums), Keith (guitar), Jon (guitar), Jerome (bass), Gareth (Vocals). But in this gig, Titus was still on the bass.
They cover soulful songs like John Mayer and groovy stuff like Sunday Morning (Maroon 5) and they do it well i feel! (:
They’re having another gig, called Supermassive, at Home Club this saturday (12th Feb) and hopefully i can get better pictures then!
Cycling @ ECP
About a month ago, when i was still having Hokkaido withdrawals, i organized a cycling trip at ECP for the cousins that went Hokkaido with me and some of our new friends that we made from the tour. Thank God my cousin bought us those $1 toys that you catapult into the sky and look at it spinning down. is there a name for this toy? i always see this dude playing/selling it outside Ngee Ann City.
D80
My brother got himself a Nikon D80 dslr a couple of years back and since it’s been in the dry cabinet only when he travels or has events to shoot for, i decided to take it out and try to play around with it. out of 55 shots, only these are the passable ones. 
it frustrates me more than anything that some shots are nice but blur. blur blur blur. maybe i have to think twice if i wanna bring it along for the reunion dinner tonight.
O+ Blood Needed!
A Salvatore must be in town!
ok not funny.
Received this sms from Redcross (for the first time) yesterday that they’re running low on my kind of blood!
But i can’t donate it before CNY because i was ill in the past week so they will not let me donate it even if im there
i thought it was funny though! the way the whole sms was structured. it’s like desperate first, need blood. then later pressure pressure pressure, come down on tues or wed (so urgent lei must be!) then later happy happy wishes, wishing me GXFC. aint that like how the working world is like, first you are told nicely, then fucked up your arse, then say nice things to make you happier a bit. LOL
So if you’re O+ and if you happen to need a break from all the CNY shopping, just drop by HSA (outram) and donate some blood!
Heard from my friend that it’s pretty cosy there with nice resting chairs and you can watch DVDs.
(:
Clean-Up Box (DIY)
when it was extremely boring at work (which is most of the time), we would surf on Gmarket.
Knowing how messy my desk is, i decided to purchase a clean-up box from Okibox
This is how it looks like when it’s all fixed up (taken from Gmarket)
I placed an order for this with another item like this pouch so i can place all my items in this little container neatly on my table!
So after a couple of days of ordering my items, they came in a huge envelope cos this clean-up box cannot be folded. but it came in a slight bent shape
Following the instructions to bend the board at appropriate places, it felt like art lessons in primary school all over again! hahahaa!
Almost there.. The structure is up! (:
Tada! I think the prints are really pretty and im a fan of the colour green so i like this!
I remember getting this at not more than SGD 5 bucks. but now it’s slightly higher around SGD 7. :/
Glitterati Plus Meet Up
Earlier today, i climbed up a million stairs up to..
(played around with Camera Raw to get this old school effect to go with the name haha. pass?)
.. for the Glitterati Plus Meet Up organized by Nuffnang
Lets call it G+ for short. Cos typing 2 characters is so much lesser than 14 luh. lol
Strictly Pancakes
Everyone is heading down to Strictly Pancakes, i kid you not. It’s like everyone who grew up eating Mcdonalds hotcakes will wanna give this place a try! First heard of this place when i know of my friend, Clare, working there and wenta check out their site. The menu looks good! Planned to try it sooner or later. Not many days after this, Ladyironchef did a review of that place and since i owe Danial an overdue meet up, i decided to give that place a try!
Strictly Pancakes is not a big place actually. Just imagine Prinsep Street’s Minds Cafe, but with lesser tables upstairs. LESSER. really. at 6.30pm on a Saturday, it wasn’t as crowded as i thought it would be. But to play safe, i made a reservation.
We ordered 2 savoury pancakes, so we could choose 2 types of butter. Being the health freak, Danial chose unsalted butter while i got the Garlic+Herb one. There are 2 more types to choose from: the salted and the Rum&Raisin. quite a selection, aye?
Yes our pancakes took awhile to be served.. a good time to catch up with the boy here! (:
This is Danial’s choice : Salmon Run
The smoked salmon was nice! Danial didnt have an easy time getting used to eating pancakes with savoury food. LOL.
And mine : Beef Me Up
Super love my super thick and puffy pancakes! They’re so soft and fluffy and when i coat them with the Garlic+Herb butter and maple syrup, the combination of sweet and salty (plus the beef and sauteed mushroom) in the mouth is awesome! (: However, the beef is kinda flaky as though it’s just a huge clump of mince meat. it’s pretty dry and will break off easily from the whole chunk.
2 thumbs up for the Garlic+Herb butter! Additional serving of butter would cost me 50 cents but i didnt care! 1 serving is not enough to coat my pancakes! yay.. here’s a pic of my pancake coated with lotsa butter and maple syrup! heehee
Too full to think of dessert, really. But i’ll be back again just to try the pancakes under the Sweet section! I wanna try the What a Spread and Banana-Scotched! Here’s a description of both of them from their site:
WHAT-A-SPREAD!
No other spread measures up to our Medium Stack of Peanut Butter Pancakes layered with Nutella served complete with Kinder Bueno and a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream — WHAT-A-SPREAD!
BANANAS-SCOTCHED
Caramelised Bananas sizzled in a pan with a dash of Rum drizzled over a Medium Stack, served with a generous scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream.
Looks yummy right! heading down again soon, have a date there with my girlfriends! (:
