why hello!

For my 1000th post, I would just like to say that... I HAVE MOVED!

I now blog at:

SEE YOU THERE! 

Brounian Motion

twentyeight.Sept

Haven't met up with Movin in ages / had a proper dinner with him... since the time we attended Jorel's concert.

Given the huge amount of unhealthy food in my system, I decided to check out Broun Cafe, near Clarke Quay MRT. They apparently serve healthy yet tasty food, and the photos online looked pretty cosy and nice, just right for a catch-up dinner with the big black @dinosauricon.

Just a short walk away from Clarke Quay MRT, and very near Settler's Cafe.

Absolutely adored the simple design.

Unlike other cafes, they don't have a laundry list of food to choose from, so you won't have difficulty selecting.

This was absolutely delicious!

Aglio Olio. 

Not the yummiest around, but definitely VERY HEALTHY. For that, it deserves five thumps up! 

I'm starting to wonder how many of these shots I have. 

Ice-Cream, but not the Magnolia kind. It seems to be specially made by them, and has a fresh fruity taste to it. 

Our change came in this box. NO GST, NO SERVICE CHARGE.

Definitely quite a decent meal here...  I would love to come back here for snacks and chillout :)

After booking out in the morning, had breakfast with Andy at Wendy's at Nex. Had a huge pancake platter thingum that was so filling.

Went home, rushed out, had a tuition session, then it was off to meet Darren for lunch.

Lunch at the Soup Spoon. Yummy Tokyo Stew and Chicken Mushroom Wrap.

We watched a "Friends with Benefits" after that, which was quite a good film!

Had dinner with Pek and Darren at Xi Men Ding Taiwan Cuisine at Raffles City.

Before we arrive, Darren found out that Pek had just donated blood, and this is what HE sent her.

Look at what she assumed!!!

The last reply was written by me when I got my hands on Darren's phone.

Can you believe this guy is going to be a 3SG?

Yet another one of these photos. Pek didn't press and hold the camera button halfway, hence the blur.

Pek Xuan with her "bedsheet" blouse.

Yummy, and Brenda's presence is missed!

My longevity noodles. 2.5/5, I'd rate it.

Went to Il Gelato di Bruno afterwards. Yummy.

Can you believe this is BUY ONE GET ONE FREE? These two medium-sized cups only cost $8 in total! 

Xinwang with the Barbs

twentynine.Sept


Divya and I have a special end-of-the-month dinner thing. It's end of September, so it's our catch-up dinner time again!

As she mentioned that she wanted a budget dinner, I decided to eat at Kopitiam. Then the retarded BARBS started feeling guilty when I smsed her, "okay, waiting for you at kopitiam".

Not that eating at kopitiam is a bad thing, it's just that we don't like to dine there when we're out for our dinners. I'm sure you know what I mean.

So anyway, yes, I'm a crazy loyal member of Xinwang for three years, due to their Papaya Soup which I love to bits!

How can you go to XinWang and not have MILK TEA???

Clearly a loyal member.

Decided to try the Chye Poh Egg with Noodles.

Yes, it's instant noodles. Mad rip-off $7.90!!!

Told you I have ten million of these shots.

... and so will my friends, soon enough!

Divya didn't even finish her food! Poor starving African kids, I feel for you.

chickens and mudpies.

twentysix.Sept

On what was supposed to be my chillout day, I had to go to Tampines to help Darren remove the camera form his new blackberry, so he could bring it to camp.

So I ended up at Tampines, and decided to chill at Starbucks while getting started on my University applications for US schools. Having not written much for the past one year has taken a toll on my ability to express myself. Thankfully, I continued to read books and articles, so I don't think I deproved that much... or at least I hope.

After all that was over, since Jerryl lives in Simei and is somehow never in camp, we had a hearty (see? I keep using the same word) dinner at BBQ Chicken. This seriously reminds me of NUSHS Boarding days, when we dined at West Coast Plaza.

When we just entered the restaurant, Jerryl decided to shamelessly ask for a Student Discount. When the woman said no, he said "but we're NSFs, like students"... and the woman relented!

Nachos add-on for the Student meal for only $3. Crazy huge portion, right?

Yes, that huge! 

With my Korean Charbroiled.

 I look stunningly kid-like again. Sigh, I need to get wrinkles or something, otherwise people don't believe I'm 19!

After dinner, we decided to head to NYDC for our dessert. Yummy!

Waitress was super slow with the bill. 

I love NYDC for the desserts... for their main courses... not so much.

Excellent catch-up dinner. Now where are the other guys?

wild oats & tumbleweed

sixteen.Sept

Decided to try Wild Oats with Andy, at Punggol Park.

I at Punggol Park about exactly a year ago, when it was still Bliss Restaurant. I remember discussing about the final semester of High School back then, and now I'm already about one-eighth through NS.

Here we are!



Quaint location, dining by the side of the pond. (Okay maybe the pond water doesn't exactly have the nicest colour).



Got sick of visiting malls, so this is quite a relief.

Andy was like, half hour late? Haha I thought I was going to be late, turns out it's the other way around.



My $11.90 Creamy Mushroom Spaghetti that wasn't so fantastic. I loved the one at Bliss with the huge German sausage :(

Nonetheless, it's still better than PASTAMANIA.

And of course, the mandatory shots:





Yummy!



Mango Pudding for dessert. About $5.90.



My overly-sweetened brownie that reminded me a bit too much of Cafe Iguana.



Yup, it was a hearty meal as usual, with a long chat :) I love HTHTs haha.

Fish Eggs for Babu

So everyone's heading off to University, and so is Ravi, who's heading to the University of York to pursue Medicine.

This is sort of our last outing before he flies off... and he decided to have Japanese, since he hasn't tried eating from a Conveyor Belt before.

After roaming around Suntec/Marina Square/Raffles City, we settled on the new Sushi Express in City Link. Each plate costs $1.80 there, compared to the $2.29 at Sakae (mad expensive!)





No messy coloured plates of different pricings... it's just $1.80 per plate!



Prawns with mayo sushi. Nothing quite like this in Sakae, I think. Sinful and fabulous.



Me with Babu the Retard.



Cheese with prawns??? Didn't try this though.

Apparently they had a new dish, called "Scallop King", and I was among the first to try it!





Somehow everyone didn't like Scallop. So weird... it's like the yummiest seafood ever.



Is this Herring?

I think we are quite messy eaters... and here's Ravi showing us why:



Thankfully we're in a restaurant. I feel less worried about eating food from the table. #psychological



I took this, took a photo, and then put it back. Looks quite yummy, but I think it's a bit too filling!



Divya giving her super retarded self-satisfied look, like "HEY I GOT UNAGI AND YOU DON'T".



Best thing ever - Divya was damn scared by the fish eggs and we kept stuffing it in her face, and hence the title of this blog entry.



Healthy options ftw :) This reminds me of Brenda who always eats this at Sakae.

I think the food was average? They don't serve iced water -.-

Anyway, we moved on to Gelare for Dessert, half-priced waffles on Tuesdays!







Yummeh :D



Dominic had an AMAZON KINDLE - I was so impressed by the screen! Didn't think it would be so easy on the eyes. Now I get the hype!

All the best Ravi, for an intensive course in University :) Such a beautiful campus...

Gosh everyone's going places!
