over the long weekend part 2

and so national day is so awesome because we managed to squeeze through the crowd at marina bay sands and got 2 front row seats by the singapore river where the national day fireworks were set.

first national day with bf :)


while waiting 2 hrs for the show to start, i whipped out my camera and started taking pictures of the beautiful singapore skyline.

my favourite picture of the evening. haha a little amateur though =X


and finally after 2 hours, the fireworks finally shoot up into the night sky, with all cameras ready to shoot, i've put mine in multi shot mode so i clicked away and ended up with close to 100 shots of fireworks while ogling at the magnificant splendour

one i love most =)

brunch..i love

today's brunch, we went down to Hatched @ Evans Road after a long long long run at Macritchie. a well deserve brunch. heeeez it's quite a drive to that place. hidden in a corner near NUS law campus. parking was kinda limited too.


this brunch place sells everything that has to do with EGGS! yeapps can guess it from the name of the place. recommanded by bf's friend. saturday afternoon was fully booked and so we had to sit outside the restuarant at the lobby area. which felt kinda weird but who cares! we were hungry once again =P

after we ordered our food, the waiter came and asked if we would like to move inside since there is space now. and told us to leave everything on the table and they'll move it. which i thought was nice, at least they still pay attention to those sitting outside. overall, the service was awesome, despite the fact that they forgot one of our orders. but yeahh, all smiles.

we both had egg benedict, mine was with bacon and ham while bf had his with corned beef. yum yum! it came with an english muffin topped with bacon, ham / corned beef, mash potato as my sides and roasted potatoes for his side. the egg was perfect with runny yolk.however, the english muffin was a little mushy from the water on the egg. but okay it's great.




okay and at the end, we werent full again, we could have ordered for 2 for each benedict we had. but we werent sure about the amt of food. eventually, bf didnt have enough to eat so we ordered another plate of french toast. the bread is very thick and is topped off with maple syrup. ok i think its' not a favourite, just normal toast, but bf likes it. =)


and bf was still hungry after.....

over the long weekend

national day is awesome, because we get more holidays! hehe loooooong weekend, but i was already having sch holidays!

to start off the long weekend, headed back to school to watch the annual Rag dance, this year's theme for SDE was Candy land which was kinda similar to the one i was involved in 3 years ago. what a long time it has been already, and im gonna grad next year =X okay shall leave that to next year. 


i think this year's float looked as great as ever, with a myriad of colours and intricate details. it looks so deliciously pretty! the structure is actually made up of recycled materials such as oreo boxes, cardboard, unused makeup bottles, diskettes, plastic bottle caps and many more coooool stuff i nv thought would be possible to resuse. the float head is definitely genius haha because i think i can nv design a float like that. 



unfortunately, the lorry broke down and we got points cut off for that, nonetheless, the performance was great. very lively and upbeat, just a tad bit messy i must say, not to mention the costumes were really pretty, all the hard work the costume people put into making these cutsy costumes of liqourice, kinder egg, ferrero rocher, and the ginger bread man! 

all the seniors who came back........ 


our first rag together. hehehe after 3 yrs =P <3 u

this year's rag is very different from previous years. 1. it didnt start in the morning but instead at 3pm and ended at around 9pm. dragged on into the night when the hall performance starts. and they are aired on tv i think. to avoid being in the dark, 


because this year, nus will be receiving the YOG Torch! hehe sounds exciting right, but i only manage to capture this because we were sitting soooo far away. 

President Nathan giving the speech, torch already lighted. 

and fireworks in NUS, though bf calls it pyrotechnic. i call them fireworks! =PP

awesome brunch

bf suggest prolly i should do a post on brunch since we've been going on a "brunch-spree". brunch searching have been our fav pastime.

recently, we've been to the place called FOOD FOR THOUGHT @ Queens St. have heard a lot about that place. on fb and hungrygowhere. it was crowded during lunchtime but becos it was only the 2 of us, we were seated after few minutes. love the decor of the place, quite funky.

food was pretty awesome, there are all-day breakfast which we intend to try the next time we go back. we tried risotto because we were so hungry! but the portion waas pretty small, we thought we would be filled after but nooooo. so if u're really hungry u'll prolly wanna order the mains instead.

i had the mushroom risotto while bf had seafood. actually both taste quite alike, because there's a lot of garlic in it. the seafood was pretty fresh and the mushroom is just sooo tasty. bimbo moment of the day: bf ask is the texture of risotto suppose to be like this (sticky)?? i answered, yeah it's italian. hmmmmmmmmmz


we're still very hungry so we ordered an extra order of pancakes! berry pancakes from the all day breakfast menu. pancakes with cream topping, berries and maple syrup. the pancake is kinda different from the rest i've tried before and i thought the pancakes tasted like roti john or like french toast. it seems like dipped the pancakes into beated eggs.
