Hey ho! In this times of keeping low and quiet, not much highlight has been happening besides shopping for gifts, checking out the markets (in which I went to the same one again and again) and setting up my other blog. Am contemplating on whether to combine them....as it does gets tough when it comes to traveling and having 'food' involved.

Hmm...anyway, am perfecting the other blog regardless. As well as that one is more publicized and this is rather for family and updating about my trips = ). I will try with 2 blogs regardless and perhaps link the both of them in a way so that my blog snippits could perhaps be 'summarised' instead (i.e. if you want to find out more, 'click here' or something like that).

Weekend has come and gone, here's what I have been up to:

Went out and met up with friends and made a quick decision to go watch a movie with them. We ate at one of our usual restaurants where we keep ordering the same meal that is not on the menu list. It had like 8 chinese words for the dish so I keep forgetting the name of the dish. But the dish consisted of fried rice, topped with the 'ying yong' sauce and pork ribs covered in curry powder. Mmm, nice to have for winter. Went to watch 'Couples Retreat' after that and I find the show quite nice in the sense of reminding married couples who are on the verge of breaking down what love is again.

I couldn't sleep last night so I went home and did some decoration on the lemon cake...only to suffer abit from 'writer's block' haha. I bought a few decorative ingredients and asked myself 'if I only had these to create something wonderful, what would I do?'. But it turned out great at the end. See here for the results :)

Woke up rather late, contemplated to check out the Farmer's market (they have a few branches) and see whether we could set up a cupcake stall, only to receive an email today that they don't do that but more on 'cakes' instead. Guess cupcakes may be abit commercialised? Before you know it, it was time to come home, shower and change for yummy dinner tonight. We had lovely 3 course meal at Pearl set up by a celebrity chef called Jun Tanaka. Friend's birthday and she was his fan hehe.


We went to a place called Buddha Bar after that (apparently celebrities come here alot) which was decent but they didn't allow the cake to be cut and distributed =(  . Oh well. I went home early anyway to recover from the late night before.

Woke up really late today bout lunchtime, so I just went up the road to shop for groceries at the usual Sainsbury, passing by Chapel market before coming back and realising it's time to leave the house if I were to walk to the badminton hall (which I did). Played a friendly league in which I wasn't mentally into the competition mode until the last 2 games (in which I won haha). Came back and overdone my hip flexes. Again. Gosh, the old habits just don't die!

And yes, it is really getting colder over here. Thermals are out, heaters are on. I wake up to a cold studio as the heater doesn't have a timer function which sucks! Nevertheless, am awaiting for a nice portable heater coming...soon...
