Fighter

It's November, and wowww, time really does fly by. I'm thankful for that, somehow... :) Things get a little tough every now and then. The path I've chosen to embark on is certainly not easy. It's an adventure and something you can't always predict. But I'm hanging in there with the people who believe in me. I miss the boy and his presence back home. It feels like the sunshine that I really need now and the strength that will push me through the obstacles. Some days it's hard to believe in what I do, but some days I'm on fire. 

On a lighthearted note, here's another interesting cafe we checked out (wayyy long ago). Chye Seng Huat Hardware Store didn't really strike us as much because... well, the name! But that is one of their biggest selling point. Unpretentious name from the 90s make for a great hangout cafe. Their speciality is the cold brew (see picture below). It comes in a cough medicine like bottle! Way to go for "packaging"!

We checked it out on a weekday afternoon, after one of Lace & Ebony's shoots, and it still was pretty occupied for a place that's quite hard to get to! We decided to settle for brunch because he knows I'll miss having all our brunch dates with him (Aww..).  

















We've ordered the Pancakes, and the French Toast. I personally prefer the Pancakes over French Toast because the French Toast can get a little gelat after a while. But they were generous with their portions, a huge plus point! Hee.

The Famed Croissant

The long weekends are here!! :) It doesn't seem very significant to me with G away, but I'm sure everyone else is looking forward to this! Thankful that this year, we've got a couple of long weekends ;) I'm here to share more brunch places and I hope that my past posts have been of help to those seeking reviews, or refreshing places to check out. Granted that I haven't been to them all, but I'm slowly ticking them off my list and I really miss my food-partner-in-crime :( 

I'm sure Tiong Bahru Bakery isn't a strange name to many out there. Word has gotten to many about their famed croissant. Of course we both had to have it! As we haven't had lunch, we've ordered a few of their other items to hopefully fill up our tummies. 






We've ordered the Croissant, Squid Ink Burger, Smoked Salmon Burger, and this other peculiar sounding pastry (the description said something about salted cameral!). The winner for us? The peculiar sounding pastry! Apologies on not taking down the name for y'all, but it should be easy to spot! ;) 

Sadly, the Croissant didn't quite live up to our expectations. But in fairness, we had it the last, after all our burgers and whatnot, so we might be a little too full to make a proper judgement. The taste is a little on the heavy side. Quite enough to make your tea-time meal filling. I'd love to try it again, perhaps this time, the Chocolate Croissant? :)




I didn't quite like the Smoked Salmon Burger because it had wayyyy too much rockets. But then again it could just be me because I'm not a vege fan. The squid ink burger however, is definitely worth a try ;)





I have a weakness for pretty coffee!!









So what was your experience with the Croissants? Yay or nay? :)

Snippets of my loved ones

Digging out the random pictures snapped in back in August. Very long ago I know, but it's too lovely to just stay on my Facebook and not on my personal blog. :) Plus, it's nice to see pictures of my favourite person, favourite animal and favourite food here teehee.








The BEBE series!
One of the most adorable toy poodles I've ever seen. No wonder toy poodles are such a favourite, they are simply adorable!! Bebe's my cousin's dog and I only get to see him during celebrations, boo :( Get ready to get your heart melted by him!!









One of our favourite Japanese restaurants, Itacho. It's a hit with Singaporeans as well, judging on how long the queues are during meal times and how many branches they've expanded on our little island. Their prices are considerably reasonable and I love how fresh the sashimi is! Fav fav fav, and I miss having G to have these meals with me...




 Beer sampling only @ $10. Not bad huh! But I am absolutely not a fan of beer... sigh.



G crash and burning after our Beef buffet!







Night out @ Night's Festival! Really not my thing with the crowds and the abstract performances. The local bands were awesome though! :)


Very excited for the coming Lace & Ebony's collections. I know you'll start to realise a lot of repetitive styles like Peplums and Knits, but I promise, I'll scruntize and bring in only the best of these styles, hehe. Can't help but feel like a lot of these styles would fit perfectly in my wardrobe!! :D Plus, tomorrow would be my first time behind the camera, wish me luck! I hope all goes well and I'll still bring the best of clothes to the lovely lovely customers. To those who've emailed and said "Thank You(s)", thank YOU! You don't know how much you've made someone's day by just a simple phrase. These people really remind me why it's so gratifying to bring in pretty clothes to make people happy!
