BB's sweet note

BB left this note on the desk before he set sail together with his atm cards, car key, some cash and his ibanking device. 

He's so sweet and totally melts my heart :)

It felt so warm knowing someone really loves and cares for you and I am so glad that I chose him.

Can't wait for him to be back!

Love you baby! <3

BB's leaving tomorrow!

How time flies. When I first knew that BB is going away for four long months, it's in April and at the blink of an eye, he will be leaving tomorrow! :'(

Today BB is real sweet as he picks me up for a surprise lunch and he even bought Hershey's chocos for me!

I love it when he bought little things for me out of the blue and it certainly means more than the big ticket items (as I usually know what he will buy, but big ticket items are nice once in a while even without the surprise elements. Heeee ;p)!

Awwww..I am so not going to be used to not having him around. Who is going to remove all the bones in the fish, peel off the shell of the prawns/ crabs, makes me piping hot tea/coffee/cereal when I am feeling blue, prepares supper for 'me' (he's the one who usually wants to eat it! Hahaha), massage for me whenever my shoulder aches and kiss me goodbye every morning before he leaves for work??

Arrrrggghhhhhhhhh!! So so so upset! But I will survive and be a good girl and wait for him to come back.

BB 快点回来啦！

Epicurious

As mentioned earlier in FB, I won myself a free brekkie from BB from the first World Cup match and off we went to Epicurious for brekkie on a nice Sunday afternoon.

We went to the outlet at Railway Mall and the place is pretty decent (I had never been to the one at Robertson Quay) but the food seriously is not worth the time and effort.

These are what BB and I ordered but from the look of it, it doesn't seems that appealing anymore right? The egg yolk was exactly like that when it was served and for my sausages, it's seriously quite hard.

The toast isn't fantastic (I am a super toast/bread person) and luckily BB is very smart, he poured some sugar on it n it instantly tastes so much better!

Guess I am a real sucker for nice and pretty things. When I saw them serving the dishes in these 'chee-na' cockerels plates, I almost fainted. Worst still, they served my tea in this.

A metal 'teapot' (if you consider it as one and a totally Chinese style tea cup. I mean I am fine with Chinese style but this has got to go in line with what the restaurant is serving.

Overall the experience was very normal. Nothing to be upbeat and excited about. I don't think I will go back there again.

Pretty Heels ^^

My latest baby!

Isn't this pretty?

It was literally calling out to me to bring her home! Awwwwww....how can I resist such calling from a pretty pair of heels??

Love it! <3

Phuket Phuket!!

Nothing much happened recently or nothing major that inspires me to write about it. BB is leaving in 10 days' time (Yes, time flies!!!!OMG!!!) I am trying to plan what I can do during the four long months without him by my side.

For a start, I booked Melly and myself a trip to Phuket!!!! Exactly 3 weeks after BB depart which I feel is a very good timing as I will missed him to death by then and going on a trip with twinie will relieve some of the sadness.

So looking forward to the trip as it is actually my first trip with twinie and I am sure we'll have a blast because both of us plan to hide from the SUN. Yes, it may sound mad that we are going to Phuket and we plan to hide from the sun whereby Phuket is well-known for its beaches, BUT who says go Phuket must go to the beach?!?!? Hahahaha!

This trip, twinie and I plan to go there to have good food, good sleep, great drinking sessions, great shopping and most importantly, hide from the sun!

So looking forward to 9th July and both of us are going to bring our luggage to work and leave for the airport straight from the office! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :D

Love Affairs with my shoes

Some of you may think that I am mad but I seriously LOVE shoes. It has almost become an obsession as I started to feel upset when I do not have space for my lovely shoes (and bags) and the worst part is, I can't buy any shoes!! How bad can that get??!??! Gosssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh!

Last weekend when I brought my laundry over to my mummy's place (I can't operate the washing machine for christ's sake and don't intend to learn till I get my own place), I saw rows and rows of my shoe boxes (of course with my shoes inside!) and I can't explain how happy and relieved I felt! I know it sounds crazy and I felt crazy for feeling this way! All of a sudden it felt like I can feel that I have shoes again! Many many many pairs of shoes!!!

Well, I know it's not like I don't have any shoes right now, just that I can't 'see' them! With the constraint of space, I gotta hid my beautiful shoes in their boxes and in my empty luggages and as time goes by, I started to forget about their existence and kept thinking that I don't have shoes to wear :(

I have this particular pair of beautiful suede peep-toe boots in soft lovely grey from Jimmy Choo that I can't bear to wear as I do not have an area to place and air it properly as I don't want it to end up all stinky in the boxes. Can you imagine that I love it so much that I can't bear to wear without a proper storage place?? Well, I love all my other Choos as well but this pair is amazingly soft and comfy!

Nowadays, I keep on wearing my fluffy slip-on heels for work as this pair of shoes make me feel casual and lazy as it's my 'lowest' pair of heels (so if anyone of you sees me in this pair of heels, it's my lazy day) and I seriously need to buy another pair to keep soon as I can sense that it's going to fail me soon.

How I wish I can have my own little nest ASAP so that all my beloved shoes (bags and clothes) will get their own little "home".

Breakfast @ Riders Cafe

BB and I finally had breakfast at the much coveted Riders Cafe on a bright bright sunday morning. Well, this place is so popular that when I make a reservation on Tuesday, they only have the 830am and 2pm slot vacant. Isn't that MADNESS? (Please note that it's at a very ulu place in Bukit timah)

Well, I personally think I am a little mad too. To wake up at 730am on a Sunday morning (I don't even wake up this early for work) to go to an ulu place for breakfast. Oh well, I'll just take it that I need fresh air once in a while after I confirmed the reservation in a spur of the moment.

The ambience wasn't too bad and there are quite a few tables filled when I arrived. I thought I was real early but apparently there are some people that are even earlier. Madness.

Overall, it felt cozy but it was a tad too hot for me as the place is non-airconditioned and they probably had on 50% of the ceiling fans. The service was only so-so as they are seriously under-staffed when we arrived. The tables were soon filled and most of the customers were actually expats.

The cute angmoh baby that actually pull off the entire stem of the plant behind him

BB looking all fresh and happy

Me looking like a ghost and trying to smile with 4hours of sleep

We waited for quite a while for our breakfast and finally, it was served.

BB's Riders Breakfast

My scrambled eggs with chao ta potato

Decent pancakes

The food was alright but I dont think I will go back there again as it's too way out and I personally prefer wild honey :)

Guess it's my first and last time there.
