Friday Favourite.

My favourite day of the week has to be Friday.
Fridays are just too awesome because on Fridays,
you start to anticipate how glorious your weekends will be.
Sundays are just blergh because Mondays are just right round the corner.

Jolene and I visited the Tiong Bahru area to check out our photoshoot location last Friday.
And since Tiong Bahru had a gazillion cafes,
we picked a random one for brunch.

My arm candies!
First 2 from Sensibar who is also my new sponsor!
(Check out the banner on the left side of my blog, hehe.)
The rest are random, from H&M.

I keep telling Jazreel how much I love her creations.
She has limitless creativity and I really admire her for that!
And I love the way she presents everything, handmade from scratch for products right down to wrapping.
Can't wait for the next time she visits me at the office because it means I get more goodies from her!






Sissy's french toast with bananas and strawberries!
Tasted good and looked good so I gave it 2 pictures.
HAHAH.
Mine was super meh.
The toast was SO DAMN HARD that it was practically inedible,
(it's not because of my braces, because I made Sissy try it too)
the only saving grace was the smoked salmon which I had to pay an additional $4 to add to my dish.
Else it would be just scrambled eggs (bland tasting, might I add) and inedible toast.












Funny faces to give you nightmares.
BWAHAHA.






Here's my outfit! :))))
Strut Denim Bustier in White (wore it so many times alreadyyyy!),
Sundae Funday Skirt in Mint, Starry Studs Bucket Bag and nude wedges from Aldo.

Dinner was Sukiya at 112 Katong with Thom, Jolene and Ben!
Didn't take any pictures there because we've been there wayyyy too many times.
And it's just not very photogenic, hahah.

Caught the Croods with Thom after that and was hungry after it ended so we went searching for dessert places.

And I was mega happy to find out that Max Brenner Chocolate Bar (at 112 Katong) opens till 1am on weekends!!!
Always wanted to go but somehow never had the chance.








Because I had 2 freaking huge ulcers in my mouth.
But nothing's gonna stop me from eating as much chocolatey goodness as I want!






Chocolate lava cake which was not as awesome as I expected.
Too much flour.
;(








The cinnamon sugar coated churros with raspberry and chocolate dips,
WAS HEAVEN.
I'm quite bad at describing food but really...
You will not regret trying this!

I love churros and I hate that they are so hard to find in Singapore.

For the dips, you can take your pick from dark, milk and white chocolate.
You get to choose 2 and my choice was milk and white chocolate!
I have yet to learn how to appreciate dark chocolate, hahaha.
Though I think it will go well with the churros since they are pretty sweet.


DEATH BY CHOCOLATE.
Highly recommended that you order for sharing!
:)

Here're the Max Brenner Chocolate Bar outlets in Singapore:

1) Vivocity #01-116
2) Esplanade Mall #01-06/08
3) 112 Katong Level 1

Please go and let me know if you manage to try other nice items off the menu there,
because I will go back there again for sure!
:)

Off to a great start.

I'd say that 2012 is turning out pretty well so far...

Even the weather is holding up! 

:)

If you haven't realised, 

even the weather for the past few days have been pretty decent.

New favourite tank, as proclaimed on my Twitter!
:)))

Coming up in the next collection!
I'd say it's a pretty good buy at $27,
because I almost bought the original Topshop piece at a few times of this price.
Love how the big arm holes make my arms look slimmer,
don't worry because tubes will be provided!

And I was pleasantly surprised that this tank is double layered in front,
which makes it less sheer as compared to Topshop's version.


Spot Thom in the background waiting for me to be done!
:)


Days when I need my personal Superman.
Can't imagine how many trips it would have taken if it were Sissy and me.
Credits also to the abandoned trolley sitting around in the carpark!

Couple of grueling hours later,
after ensuring that our parcels are on their way to finding their new owners,
we found ourselves heading to Joo Chiat for a dinner to fill our tummies!




New mall at Katong!
:)
Wanted to explore it but we were kinda late.
Most shops were closed already!




Walked over to the nice bak kut teh shop nearby!
And thank god it closes late, so we got our dinner there.











We ordered their famous bak kut teh, thai styled tofu and fu rong egg.
All damn good!!!
I wanna bring my dad there someday for their BKT..
I'm quite sure it will appeal to his extremely picky tastebuds!






Took some time off work today because Thom bought a deal from Groupon,
buffet lunch for 2 at Mandarin Orchard's Triple Three!






Wore the Orchestra Symphony Dress in Royal Purple!
:)))
Also kept it in Coralia Orange but have decided to stash it in my CNY to-wear pile.















To be honest,
the food didn't impress me.
There weren't enough variety and the quality was kind of bad.
The best "dish" was the cream puff.

It was rather disappointing but thank god we went there using a coupon deal.
Would totally kill myself if I had to pay the full price for the quality of food.
















Thom did some of his CNY shopping as well!
:)
Best to be done early rather than going into a last minute frenzy nearer to the occasion...


He is so picky when it comes to shopping for clothes/shoes/bags.
I guess that's due to him being a Virgo.
Such a perfectionist!

I always laugh at him and say that whenever we go for shopping,
it's like a reversal of gender roles.
I shop like a man (SEE, LIKE, BUY!), while he ponders over his decisions for the longest time EVERRRRRR.




Failed to convince him in getting red pants...
BUT eventually he got himself a maroon pair of chinos!
:D
Hahaha.
Always have to push him to try new things!

Okay, abrupt end to entry because I've ran out of pictures and can't be bothered to think of how to end this entry.
LOL.
