♡ End of 2014 - 31st December, Wednesday ♡

11/11/14

I'm posting backlogs to end 2014 properly. Bestie celebrating my birthday~

Seoul Garden #1

Pandora♕

Received a total of 7 (4 charms, 2 clips & 1 safety chain) from the Bestie & ღ.

16/12/14: Xmas exchange with Compassvale Mast neighbours

Seoul Garden #3

Had Seoul Garden with Bestie on the last week of November, 2nd visit was with ღ who had cravings when he saw the pictures. 3rd visit was with our new neighbours which is on the second week of December. 3 Seoul Garden visits in 3 weeks kills my appetite.

Imperial Court Shark's Fin Restaurant

They were having opening promotion so ღ bring my mom & his mom for dinner, separately (3 days to be exact). No pictures but we had suckling pig, prawns, abalone, shark's fin, fish, broccoli. Total bill was approximately $300.

29/12/14: Same dinner with ღ's parents 

Suckling pig, Broccoli
Peking duck wrap, Spring onion duck
Abalone, Osmanthus jelly

The food was great! ღ finally get to eat his favorite suckling pig. The peking duck was even better than Tung Lok's. Not sure about the abalone as i don't consume that but i love the Osmanthus jelly as it isn't too sweet.
Total bill was approximately $250.

They have different promotions each month which are mouthwatering. Had been feasting a lot during December so i hope for 2015 i can feast but don't gain any weight yet lose few kgs. Which is literally every girls' dream that's quite impossible unless you are a hardcore exerciser.

♡ TungLok XiHé & Windowsill Pies - 8th November, Saturday ♡

2 weeks without meeting as both of us had busy schedules, glad that ღ made time for my birthday but soon he will be gone for another 2 weeks of reservist.

the chef cutting our peking duck

We called in to make reservation & advance ordering of the peking duck as the waiting time for it would be 40 minutes. So ours is served immediately after we arrived.

the duck skin + head
blueberry sauce & popping candy

The duck's skin is to be dipped with blueberry sauce + popping candy & leave it in your mouth to sense the popping candies pop before chewing. The popping sensation makes the skin feels less oily to be swallowed.

crepe + sweet bean sauce + duck breast meat + cucumber + scallions

duck skin x breast meat x drumstick meat
crepes x sauces
$80

remaining meat fried with scallions & ginger

The remaining duck meat with bones are cooked with scallions & ginger with an additional cost of $10. The 1st few bites were nice but it became too salty after the 2nd piece.
The portion is too much for 2 person thou we didn't order other dishes except for tea. The peking duck is meant for 3 person or more.

Kungfu Jungle

No other movies seem nice so we watch Kungfu Jungle starring Donnie Yen while hoping it won't suck as he's a great actor. After which we find our way to the cafe (Windowsill Pies) which is located remotely. Had to take a 10-15 minutes walk from the nearest bus stop/mrt station.

Operating hours:
Tue-Thur: 11am – 9.30pm
Friday: 11am – 10.30pm

pouting but i'm captivated by the decorations

Banana Almond ($7)
Strawberry Lemon ($7)
S'mores Dark Chocolate ($8)
Coconut Lime Vodka ($8)
Tea: Aloe Vera Rooibios ($6)

Both of us prefer the S'mores pie as the Lime & Lemon pie are too sour but still quite nice. This ღ of mine even squeezed the lime on the pie which was meant as a decorative item. Overall the pies are unique & the environment is very cosy.

homely environment

There wasn't much customers in the night as compared to the day so we got the chance to snap many photos.

$35 Sambal Belacan Fish
@ Lai Huat Seafood Restaurant (2-3 shops around the corner of Windowsill Pies)

ღ still feels hungry so we had supper after dessert. ღ had fried rice & decides to order the fish after knowing the shop is famous for their sambal belacan fish.
The sambal belacan is nice but the fish is overcooked with little meat. We were expecting it to be grilled.

thanks for being there for me 

♡ Indefinite Hiatus - September ♡

On indefinite hiatus

As gloomy as it sounds, i've got to juggle between work, studies & social life
Decided on a quick update as there has been a sudden influx of readers

Work - Besides going to work i've to design & print menus

Studies - Homework (i've never gotten homework for 5 years), individual & group assignments (presentations + an upcoming field trip) & mid-terms

Social Life - Meeting my lovelies & perhaps some me time

P.S. Hopefully i've a less hectic October

I'm Tired

63th

It's the 23rd of the month, we don't celebrate monthsary (monthly anniversary) but we will wish each other verbally or written (texts).
There was a month where both of us forgot about the monthsary until days later.
ღ always says:

"We don't celebrate months but years (anniversaries)"

hsp yl's 24th birthday

compulsory birthday cake shot

545m Sentosa Boardwalk

It costs $1 to enter Sentosa, but it's free for all (only during weekends) from now till 04 January 2015.
It's quite a distance but it is sheltered with a few travelators along the way. On the return trip, it's available for all to take the bus RWS8 or Sentosa Express for free.

Taiwan QQ ice-cream
Flavour: Japanese Matcha w/ grass jelly

The combination is so nice which makes me feel like trying the other flavours too

each ticket costs $19.10 (U.P. $25)

Priscilla bought the tickets at a steal from a travel agency (i think) for $19.10 each (U.P. $25)

crowded 

120 minutes of waiting time is being exaggerated as i think we only waited for approximately 40-60 minutes
Most of us just had to be near the fan as the weather is blistering hot & humid that day

his it's hands are pretty comfy to sit on

 let's switch partners

It's the girls' idea to make 2 couples stand-in & the birthday girl in the middle.

scaredy cat me don't dare to climb any higher

"enter" the book for more artworks

bottomless pit

ღ's favourite shot of me: standing above the bottomless pit

Don't know why but this ღ of mine likes close up shots of me very much. Whenever possible he will snap such shots & i can only hope my face doesn't look too plump as it already is

please hold your breath to take this shot as it stinks badly in there

would you like a piece of the birthday girl?

dwarfs vs. giants

rode on an elephant & got a bruise

Abrupt stop but i will edit this post (upload another 20+ pictures) another day as there's an overload of pictures already.

To take this shot as a couple it looks unsightly so i didn't pose properly & left before the next shot is taken.

But lonely ღ has this giddy up pose & very enjoyable expression.

save her!

       

Everyones' inner thigh hurts badly but got to maintain our positions for awhile before getting up.

sky-diving

ღ had a hard time taking this shot & grumble that there's an increase of blood flow to his brain. There's an annoying person who kept blocking me even after i told him to move so i took such a long time to capture.

The End

Sadly, our camera's battery didn't last till the end of the day We took over 100 pictures without shutting the camera in the span of 2½ hours (if i remembered clearly). So we are getting a spare battery which will also be more convenient for us.
