September-- Best month thus far

Hello!!
September has been nothing short of amazing so far ! I've been having a lot of fun, and eating too much good food! Not complaining! Hehe. ^_^
Went to find J on Tuesday , and we had Sushi Tei for dinner because he knows I've been craving for it. Haven't had it for a year I think. Always prefer to go to small Japanese joints for Jap food since they give off the more authentic vibe !! 

My favourite dragon roll !! This needs no introduction I'm sure. 

I think the mentai squid is new on the menu? I always have the mentai salmon, I think I prefer the salmon version more. Grilled squid should be eaten without such heavy dressing to be able to taste the charcoal grilled smell !!

And we had a bowl of ramen to share. It was pretty good! :D

Hehe went up to his office to chill. I quite enjoy watching him do work. Or sometimes I'll just sit there and use my phone. It just feels nice to have his company. I don't know how to describe it without me sounding like a creepy girlfriend lol. 

And sometimes I self obsess aka camwhore lol. 

Met up with my my girl friends on Wednesday! We had Korean food at Holland Village. It's caleld Gaia Korean BBQ + Grill. I think it's new? They took over Kenny Roger's. I've never been to Korea, so I don't know what defines an authentic or supposed awesome meal. I enjoyed my dinner here, but my Kpop cray friends who always go to Korea think it was very "meh"~~

Kimchi pancake! I remember I hated this dish. I was like omfg? This otah wannabe. I really disliked Korean food. I don't know when or how I suddenly enjoy it now. 

Their ban chan~~ 

Rice cake stew with fish cakes, gyozas, eggs and mushrooms. $45 . Quite ex ley

Super wurve meeting them. ^_^ Looking at this pic makes me miss Kelly :'( 

Kelly and Steph :)

Group shot but bad lighting. :(

 After that we went to Haagen Dasz for ice cream. Hehe

Went to NSRCC with J ! He booked the place for 3D2N . I was kinda excited haha. 
Had BBQ on the first night with his family and friend. 
His mom prepared all these! Love the kebab!

It was Kenneth's baby girl's birthday, so we celebrated for her too! She's very cute and fluffy haha. When I carried her I couldnt stop squishing my face against her tummy. She's so smiley. Babies are so cute!

Happy family!



Woke up and spent a few hours in the jackpot room lol. The previous time I went I just don't understand because it's like throwing money away. But this time, we discovered some coolios machine which Josh and I played together and it was super exciting! Hahaha. I can totes replay in my head the scene of Josh doing a happy dance when he won $10 from $0.50 hehhehe. 

We had lunch at the sports bar, and I ordered a mushroom alfredo and it fucking sucks. I was quite sad. The noodles were severely overcooked and soggy and the mushrooms were tasteless! Furthermore the cream sauce was bleah. Hen sad, because I was craving for a good creamy pasta! The curry chicken and chicken chop were not bad though!

After that, we ran some errands and collected the bbq food for his bbq sesh with this army friends!
We also went to the super market to do some grocery shopping ! So happy he invited me along :D

It was a night with lots of food, drinks, and laughter. Eileen ( The girl in pink) and I were the sole survivors omg. The both of us stayed up the whole night and day and didn't sleep a wink... and we drank a lot haha. All the boys napped and woke up and we were still awake playing mahjong hehe. I had a lot of fun, his friends are super funny and crazy lol.


Came home the next day and had salad for dinner because I felt so guilty for eating so unhealthily the past few days! I came slept at 11pm that day and woke up at 12pm but I was so tired still omg.

Met the cutie pie for lunner at Bali Thai today! We went to parkway and didn't feel like eating anything. Walked to Katong V which was a ghost town lol. Went back to Katong haha. Any recommendations for good food near Katong area? 



Yum tum tum. :D

Very happy we've been seeing each other more recently, because I know I won't be able to find him at work anymore after I start working. I CRY!!! :'( Bet he's gonna miss me sticking to him haha.  
He loves making this kind of face to annoy me haha. He is the irritating kind of cute sometimes lol. He is so mischievous even though he looks very guai right! 

He asked me just now if I think he's a very mischievous person and I said yes. After that he asked me if I like it and why, I replied " Yes, because I like funny people" but actually I like that side of him because he is only mischievous to people he is close to, so I find it very precious to be able to see and interact with this side of him :) He is so cute ley.. don't think i've been this crazy over anyone before.. 


I was so full I didn't have dinner when I came home, but my sis bought macs back so I koped some or these irresistible shaker fries. Me loves. 

Some pics from the recent shoot for Twoxies !




Really thankful how smooth September has been...  :') July, August, September... Seems like life is picking up. Definitely not gonna take any of this for granted~

Staycation @ Gallery Hotel // Awesome weekend // Yacht trip


Hello!!! On Friday, we went to Taboo, a gay bar located at Neil Road. There was a launch of an upcoming RWS play called Priscilla, and our friend invited Josh and I over for some drinks ! 
It was my first time at a gay bar and I gotta say it was an eye opener. LOL.
For once, I can walk freely in a club and no one will even touch me " accidentally" , and no one will even check me out ( Normally, guys in clubs check out every girl right) . On the other hand, Josh was totally a hot target there. HAHAH. He didn't even want to go pee because he was afraid lol. It was kinda fun seeing so many guys taking a second glance at him and one even got pushed by his friend to approach Josh. Haha, hunky men were making out and groping each other, it was quite a sight.  


We left around 11pm after the event was over. J and I haven't had our dinner so we suggested to go to Kko Kko Nara ! ( I didn't know they have a new branch, it's 3 stories wtf and it looks nothing like the old one! I also need to mention that the servers there are young male koreans. Girls who are looking for korean boyfriends, you now have a legit excuse to eat here more often hahaha ) 

We had the army stew, sweet and spicy chicken, and some soju. It was a pretty chillax night.
Then we headed to some KTV bar ... and after we had Teo Chew porridge for supper.
The whole night we ate and drank so much I felt so fat the next day ok.
Anyway, J and I decided to do an impromptu staycation that day cause we are YOLO like that. 
Wheee... Gallery hotel was having some offer on Agoda,  ($150 after tax) which was quite reasonable. So I booked it immediately. 

They didn't allow us to check in at 5am, so J came over to my place to nap, and we woke up at 10am excitedly to begin our staycation!!! 

I didn't really sleep, so the moment we checked in we slept till 4pm. LOL. 
The room is pretty decent and clean. But I gotta say that the service you get here is practically zero.
What you pay is what you get. But since this was an impromptu staycation, we didn't want to settle for anything too expensive which we couldn't fully utilise.
The bed was very comfortable though, we both had a really good sleep. 


After waking up at 4pm, we got ready and headed out for lunch, which was like our first meal of the day. We walked over to Martin Road for P.S Cafe Petite. Love their truffle fries!


I went for tuition after and he went to settle some work and home to pack some clothes! 
( The staycation was really impromptu max ) We both met back at the hotel only at 9pm and I accompanied him down to Robertson Quay to watch soccer. 

I think the best thing about Gallery Hotel is its prime location. Readily accessible, and there are many famous bars, restaurants and cafes to dine and chill at. Having that said, I personally feel that Studio M, which is directly beside Gallery Hotel, offers the same convenience, and it is nicer ! Kinda regretted not booking Studio M, but it's ok, we could go there on another occasion when we could spend more time utilising the facilities! We wanted to go to the gym after that only to realise that it closes at 9pm.. zzzz.  

No fate to work out, so we promised to wake up earlier the next day to go to the gym.
By the time we went back to the hotel it was about 10pm, and we haven't had our dinner, so we went to have Korean BBQ at Mohammad Sultan, which was a stone's throw away.
J said we were having a korean weekend hehe. 
It's called Mid night house korean BBQ if I'm not wrong , and they operate till 12am. 
We had the marinated beef and a kimchi stew because I am not over my rice cake craving. 

You also get to enjoy a free steamed egg with every two mains ordered. I quite like this. 

They also served us endless side dishes! These were free flow and the servers were very helpful to refill them upon seeing that we have consumed everything lol we were quite hungry by then already. I particularly like the marinated mushrooms. Josh who doesn't eat xiang-gu also agreed it was good! 

There!! My kimchi stew! It was daebakk!!! Ooohh. Big love. I thoroughly enjoyed my army stew at Kko Nara the night before , but this was so much better. There were diced pork cubes inside ( which strangely tasted like canned pork cubes to me, you know the yellow can one. It's quite spicy and yummy)  I requested for some rice cakes inside and they just gave it to me. LIKE A LOT. Lol. So nice!!!! Nom nom nom.

I think they were so nice because J's friend was working in that shop. And they also gave us a 10% discount whee... so in the end the dinner came up to $53~~ for the two mains. Kinda reasonable for the amount of food we had. J's army friends came over? Lol. I didn't know they were meeting up, they just appeared one by one hahha.. I felt kinda bad because I was super extra?? But J had to bring me along because he was stuck with me for the night lol. Any way, we hopped over to the bar beside for some beer which was quite cheap! $68 for a tower if I'm not wrong! It's hard to find tower at this price without happy hour. 

I was feeling super sleepy after that because I barely slept the day before, so we walked back to our "home" hehehe. I had 3 friends who got engaged during the weekend, it kinda scary that I am sorta already at that age. Josh and I don't usually talk about things regarding the future, we still have a long long long way ahead.But that night, I remember telling him we are going back to our "home"  and he let out a very shy but happy smile. I even suspected my heart has its own taste bud, if not how can my heart feel so freaking sweet! That thought was pleasant and nice :)
We also talked about something, I can't remember what, but we could always read each other's mind or finish each other's sentences, and when I asked him " omg how did you know I was going to say that" , he would tell me " You are me, except in a girl's body" :) 

Fell asleep almost immediately when we got back, We were so tired.
Overslept for gym lol. We woke up at 12pm. It was super rush because we had to be at Keppel Bay at 1pm!!! We were going on Richard's boat for another boat trip! whee ! 
That's why J had to go back home to pack his stuff  the day before. So excited that we were gonna spend Friday, Sat and Sunday together. I love spending time with him! <3

J got us 2 pizzas from Bella Pizza and 3 bottles of wine from Wine connection ( Really love how convenient Robertson Quay is ) for the boat trip pot luck! 

This guy by the name of Daniel bought 50 chicken wings, damn cray.... Mario made eggs with sardine. Protein overload. 

Andy and J. 


Sometimes I think praise him too much but I really gotta admit he is so handsome, every time I look at him, my heart still skips a beat. ^_^


It was warm like hell outside so I went to the lower deck to change into my swim wear and chilled there because the air con room felt so good~~

All the photos from here onwards were taken from Zoe's magic cam, the TR35. 
It's really like mei tu xiu xiu except it auto beautifies everything. 
My floating head, Zoe and Zoe's friend.



Helping Mario knit while waiting for the boat to set off~ Can't believe it was almost a year ago when I knitted a scarf for J. So scary how fast time flies.


This mario really thinks she's a guy please. The boxer is her panty. I didn't know so I went to pull her boxer to see, and I saw her fair ass lol. She's so cute.

Mandatory float selfie!!! 



Getting beer shower 


 Zoe and the boys. She's only 19 haha. I feel damn old beside her please. 


Richard and Daniel. If Richard was a female that would have been a slut pose haha

The girls and a half girl

















Handsome







If there's some Kronenbourg competition I will totes send this in?? Happy couple enjoying their beer and not giving a care. Good beer makes you feel good. Lol. 

We went over to Keng Eng Kee for dinner. I literally grew up eating at this place because my primary school friend's parents own KEK and my family always dines here!! Just nice Josh's company also has a shop at Alexander Village, so he frequents KEK too. Every time we talk about Tze Char this is a no brainer for us, we both love the food here !
Finally headed home after, it was a super fulfilling weekend with him. We spent 48 hours together so happy!! That marks the end of my birthday month, but also the beginning of our relationship two years back. How appropriate that we had so many events lined up. ^_^
Love. 

“I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”
