Waraku & Nectarie

I know the recent posts have been food-centric, so much so that Herbie had to comment on the trend XDD In all fairness, the only interesting thing happening in my life so far has been food; other times I am drawing naked prepubescent girls for Mumble’s research project… pretty boring eh? LOL

(I may post a few of those concept art later on… the older ones are clothed, but I have to censor out the ‘naughty bits’ in the recent ones or else no hosting site would host them.)

Anyway, I was supposed to meet with Eve and Leaves to celebrate Eve’s birthday last Wednesday, and also because they’d just returned from their grad trips. Leaves brought along two surprise ex-classmates! One is XinY and the other is SJHH (whom I’m more close to than to the former).

We had dinner at Waraku. I fought for my asparagus bacon, and in the end we compromised by ordering the mixed dish that contained it, among others. But what was  really interesting was this platter for two:

ARE YOU SURE IT’S NOT FOR FOUR PEOPLE?!?!?!
Okay maybe it can serve two people if said customers are willing to forfeit other yummy dishes :P

After that we headed down to the pub area (the one with the colorful roofs at Clarke Quay) to try some desserts at Nectarine. The waiter was cute XDDD I didn’t catch the names of the stuff we ordered, because XinY was the one who took charge and I was too bloated to think properly. But I think these 3 were what he recommended.

This one was not bad, very crunchy.

I remember this was nice too.

Didn’t really fancy this strudel, and now that I look at it clearly, that color looks a bit odd for something edible ^^;

For size comparison. A bit the small. I can’t remember if the five of us had to pay $3 or $5 each.

That’s it for now! Next post, Chinatown!

Eve and Leaves’ CNY Shopping

But I bought as much stuff too, even though I had no intention to in the beginning. Noes! But they were stuff I’ve been putting off buying. Which means Yassss :DDD

I was an hour late because Ti went and had his inaugural langgar ceremony. I mean, you’re not a true blue driver if you haven’t experienced a case of bumper cars yea? Good game Ti, GG.

After that Mum and I finally had the car when he came back all sian halved, and she dropped me off at Bugis (but not before educating me on the selfishness of human nature– normally the front drivers would blame the last car even though the last car wasn’t the one which started the accident. I was horrified… Am I too naive in believing that there are people who honour the truth even though they would stand to lose? Perhaps that’s why I have the ‘Sucker!‘ label imprinted deep on my forehead).

After a bit of shopping at Bugis Village, mostly for Eve’s benefit, we went and had tea at TCC; also mostly for Eve’s benefit (she wanted to rest her legs).

Top one with the red dot is Leaves’ Raspberry Hazelnut Frappe. Oreo Mocha Frappe is Eve’s and Azuki Coffee Cooler is mine (vaguely remembered Senpai saying it was nice).

Btw I specially asked for as much whipped cream as possible, and when our orders were served MINE HAD THE LEAST AMOUNT OF CREAM. Do you see that pathetic lump of cream, it is a crying shame. Apparently Leaves and the waitress had heard me say the opposite. But I clearly remember saying, “Please put a lot of cream, as much cream as possible– a lot a lot“. Perhaps I hadn’t been enunciating enough :(

Of course we had to take photos together. We only meet on an average of 3 times a year, when we celebrate each others’ birthdays…

On seeing the picture, I was like, “How come Leaves has a halo one!?!“, and Eve was like, “RR how come your eyes closed one?!?“.

Okay lor I open big big for you. Don’t complain le.

(After seeing the picture they kept joking that there were only supposed to be two people in the picture… Wah lau eh!)

Camera positioning fail orz.

I am super duper pleased with my shopping today! Bought an RGB green dress top for $12 at Bugis Village. Eve bought the same but in yellow– she is so short she can just wear it as a dress. Sometimes I am jealous of her height. BUT HAY, LEGGINGZ TYME! XDD

After that I went with Leaves to Junction 8 (omg so nostalgic!) for another raid at Cotton On’s $10 bras and left with 3. And then she showed me her favourite shop Purpur (as expected the shop walls are painted purple lol), so favourite that she even has a members card, where I bought 2 elastic belts for $10 each. Finally I have those!

But I’m still adamant on getting some more mileage out of my lesser-worn clothes in my wardrobe for CNY instead of getting new clothes. Although that’s pretty inauspiscious… If all goes well this year I’ll be wearing my pink CNY dress for the third year running (because it is too formal and tedious for me to wear it on a normal occassion) har har!

Leaves also said that I looked like I lost weight. (Yuunsama had commented the same thing when I met her on Friday.) So tonight I got off my lazy ass to weigh myself. Am 2kg below my average of 54. Damn!

School starts tomorrow/in a few hours time. DARN IT ALL!

Indian Wedding, 好久不见 & Free Passes to Museums

Three days of pictures. So little time to elaborate more.

Some Catching Up

Every time we meet up and I try to remember their bfs’ names, one or the other will surely ask me that question:

Leaves: So how? Got boyfriend?
Me: My computer.
Leaves: Haha never change.
Me: I’m devoted.

It’s the same cycle XD

It doesn’t bother me when people ask me about my relationship status, because I don’t have a stigma about it… much. It’s just strangers that ask me that that makes things awkward and squirmy.

听说不少同学在这假期里熬夜赶功课。我呢，还是整天出去逛。惨了，这次真的死定了。

Whoop!

Still working on does-not-look-like-a-Dragonfly in Maya

At one stage this morning I was amused that my dragonfly looked like a lonely sperm. I am very tempted to omit the dragonfly’s unfinished head (am working on it now) and just make it a flying sperm. That’d be so cool.

Mumbles probably wouldn’t be amused though.

Birthday Week

01 September 2007, Saturday

I went to work at Dr. L’s.

If I was the type to cry in happiness and surprise, I would.

One by one they fly

Eve leaves today for a Germany. I just got a message from Kooling that she leaves for Korea today too. Puey has already left to dig soil on Monday. I wonder if Ade is making coffee every morning for her ang moh bosses. I’ve yet to catch any germs from the clinic.

I know we’ll all be working in different professions in the future. It’s a bit lonely to think of it like that, when I knew all of them when we were doing the same things, having a common ground. I wonder if we’d be like those women who meet up for high tea and just catch up. That’s a thought.

Pictures from Wednesday, when I met Eve and Leaves for a pre-birthday meeting of sorts.

Eve taking her Crayfish Pasta for dinner at Swensons.
