FINALLY met up wtih Rah!! Yayerrs! 

Met her after her classes and headed straight to Clementi to get our brows done first. 

The "after" result

Then we took a bus and headed to cafe W39 which is located somewhere in Clementi. Totally loving the decor and concept of this cafe!

Hehe. Pretty girl in front of a pretty display. ❤ 

Rah ordered the Braised Pork Cheek Gruyere Panini and some chicken wings for us to share and I ordered the Braised Lamb Shank Mushroom Panini. I honestly LOVED the food. Total satisfaction.

Had an awesome time catching up with her and information-overloading each other. ❤ Definitely one of the few that I would tell everything to. 

And then she surprised me by getting a slice of their rainbow cake as a birthday cake just because she didn't get to celebrate my birthday with me. NGAWHHH~ ❤ Absolutely too cute!

It was the first time that both of us tried rainbow cake. It looks so pretty that both of us didn't want to start first. Haha. 

Thanks RahRah!

I wish for a better year ahead. 

I am an absolute sucker for cafes. I just LOVE how cafes look, smell, feel. It's like a mini getaway from the craziness of life. So when Jia suggested going to a cafe for our catch-up sesh, I was in a happy-clappy mood.

We decided to try out Common Man Coffee Roasters which is located on Martin Road. The area is somewhere between Somerset and Clarke Quay which also makes it rather inaccessible if you don't drive but I particularly like cafes that are a little out of the way because then atmosphere will be more peaceful.

The portioning of the food was quite large and needless to say we were stuffed at the end of our meal. 

It was amazing how we managed to cram 4 months into 4 hours of non-stop talking (and drinking lots of water). But it was definitely a long-awaited catch-up. So thankful for the time that I got to spend with her, talking about the past, the present and the future. 

Love you much babe! ❤ 

Had some mummy and me time today!! :) 

Headed to the immigration to get some things settled. After that, went to eat nasi padang at Warung Nasi Pariaman @North Bridge Road. Thank God we were early, cos the queue here is always very long during lunch hour. Mummy really loves the nasi padang here cos she says that her father used to tapao the food from here for them to eat either that or he'll bring them here to eat. So it was pretty cool, eating what mum used to eat when she was younger. :) 

Needless to say that I sweated quite abit when eating all this food. But it was definitely worth it. #yummy

After that we headed to Bugis and then Somerset for some shopping! Yay. I always love shopping with mummy. Ended up buying mainly basics.

Home after that for dinner. :)

Mum cooked nasi lemak. YUM.

#blessed

I realised that the food that I had today aren't really the healthiest... but.. you only live once. Hehe.

Faith

Hebrews 11:8-19

New Living Translation (NLT)

⁸ It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. ⁹ And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living in tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise. ¹⁰ Abraham was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God.

¹¹ It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise. ¹² And so a whole nation came from this one man who was as good as dead—a nation with so many people that, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them.

¹³ All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth. ¹⁴ Obviously people who say such things are looking forward to a country they can call their own. ¹⁵ If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back. ¹⁶ But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

¹⁷ It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God’s promises, was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, ¹⁸ even though God had told him, “Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted.” ¹⁹ Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was able to bring him back to life again. And in a sense, Abraham did receive his son back from the dead.

Bible study in the morning then headed to Out of the Pan @Raffles City to quench our thirst with Aunty Renee, mummy and a sleeping Aidan. :) Initially we wanted to order one sweet crepe to share but since DBS credit/debit card holders could enjoy a 1-for-1 promotion for crepes and waffles, we ended up with two. :)

My Freshly Squeezed Mint Lemonade :)

Tiramisu Crepe!
Loved it!

Rum & Raisin Crepe

Home after that for a chill evening at home. 

Slept for 5 hours today before waking up at 7+ to get ready and go for BSF with mummy, Aunty Reenee and Aunty Shure Lee. 

We had a tiny breakfast before  BSF. Little Aiden took my phone and opened the camera app and zi lian all by himself. Sooooo adorable! And such a smart two year old! :3 

❤

BSF was good today. 2nd week and I'm starting to get used to it. Not as lost as I was last week. (Thank God) Haha. After that, headed to The Coastal Settlement (near Changi Village) to have lunch. 

I loved the surrounding and ambience there. Perfect for a chill out afternoon with friends. 

This looks perfect for a garden lunch. Hehe. 

Crystal Chandeliers and random antique pieces.

Vespa! ❤ 

When was the last time you seen such an old tv? Haha.

Loving the shutters. 

Ordered once we were sat and settled. We definitely didn't expect the portioning to be so big because the waiter said that the portion was good for one.

Appetizer: Calamari with Passion Fruit Mayonnaise

Curry Chicken with Bread

Fish and Chips

Beef Hor Fun

Fish Soup and Rice

Spaghetti Marinara

... Bigger than my hand! 

Dessert: Bread Pudding and Vanilla Ice Cream

Sadly, I didn't enjoy the food as much as I thought I would. I guess it just didn't taste as good as I thought it would. Better luck next time?

Headed home to rest and catch up on some work before heading out in the evening for dinner with Zhen Wei and Aik. Ate at Popeyes and then shared a large Yoguru after that. It was a good time of fellowship. 

Home again slightly before 11. 

Happy Easter Sunday! :) ❤

It's Easter Sunday today! :) So since it's a special Sunday, I decided to wear my sister dress and sister bracelet to church today. ❤   

Loving how my hair looks here. :) 

After service, headed to Just Acia @Dhoby Xchange for lunch and fellowship with the cg and new friends.

Meet Debbie. Isn't she cute?
She drew a picture of her pet parrot!

Her edit of the photo. :)

 After lunch, we headed to Homeground @Prinsep Street to play LOL with some of the boys. First time playing LAN in Singapore. Haha. Sadly it's triggering my old addiction. I'm currently itching to play LOL.

After that, headed to Ichiban Boshi @Velocity Novena with Jo to meet the parents for dinner! :)

While waiting for mum and dad to reach, we camwhored again. =B 

My cute parents. Awhhh. ❤❤❤ 

Thank God for the 80SGD voucher that we had because it led to one of the largest Japanese meal that we've ever had! I say, "The family that feast together, stays together". Hehe. It was definitely a satisfying meal! 

Looking at this makes me hungry again!

After that we chanced up Giordano's moving out sale. Managed to get a new pair of jeans and another long-sleeved button-up shirt for myself at 19SGD each. They're added to my Aussie pile.
