november updates.

went on a study date with jing at holland v's starbucks and i found myself highly motivated by her focus.  she was in the midst of her exams preparation while i decided that i should just get my revision start lest history repeats itself again. we were just chilling at one of the corner seats, sharing a cup of of hot green tea latte and catching up with each other before we proceeded with our revision. i actually managed to finish a few chapters and by the end of the day , i was beaming with great sense of achievement. you see, the people you hang out with have immense influence on you . hanging out with conscientious peeps can actually motivate you to study pretty well :)

been meaning to update this space but i was so preoccupied with my revision and other stuff. just as i was about to post an entry on our recent pjclique outing, blogger forbade me to upload anymore pictures unless i pay them a nominal monthly fee for data storage. it's so silly to pay for online data storage especially when i'm only blogging for fun. then one fine day (today) god reminded me of the existence of photobucket and here i'm blogging with pictures !!

met up with the bishan peeps on two separate occasions. the last time i saw grace was in january , on her birthday at regent hotel. i used to see her everyday when we were in PJC and it was so much more convenient to rant to her.  judging from the insane amount of workload that a SMU undergraduate gets , i'm in no position to rant or whatsoever. i should be fine and contented that i dont have to put up with sucky project mates and struggle with back to back datelines to meet. in fact, i'm really loving uni life even though i'm not immersing in any form of campus life. i guess i'm just happy to spend time with my friends during lectures ; be it paying attention / scribbling notes / checking out sneak previews of online boutiques. we could talk about shopping all day and that's what girls do :)

been going on many many movie dates with the boyfriend too . i've been thinking if i should give up my weekend tuition classes to spend more quality time with him. it's the kids vs le boyfriend. 

finally a rare TGIF dinner date with the pjclique :) dinner at yoshimaru , holland village. i'm not a big fan of ramen but i have to say that yoshimaru serves really good ramen. it was full house that night and we had to wait quite a while to be seated. prices are pretty reasonable with the 10% student discount.



headed off to island creamery where i bumped into my long lost friend sarah who's working there.  i can't get enough of their mudpie . it's my cheaper alternative to the mudpies at NYDC.  i'm so hooked on the ice cream flavour pingpong milo ever since nia made me try it a few months back. if only ice cream work like slimming pills or something, i would have this everyday. i don't have the habit of buying pints of ice cream back to feast on but i was really tempted to takeaway a pint of pingpong milo.
after 1 serving of mudpie and apple pie served with ice cream , we ordered another pint to share among ourselves. it was such a rare sinful indulgence and i was happy while it lasted until i got home. i was literally having war with my tummy.

& here's a picture of my outfit on tuesday . ah boys to men movie date with felimbo . 

skirt's from lovebonito.com and bag's from http://tgif-ashion.livejournal.com . 

we're down to the last month of 2012.  make it count !! 

TGIF @ NOSH.

back with some visual & wordy updates ! 

my bestfriend @peasandpetals brought me to nosh @rochester park last friday. 

we've been meaning to spend some quality time together but both of us were up to our necks with work and tuitions for the past couple of months. most of our previous 'meetups' were 5 minutes of greetings in between our pathetic tuition breaks and the short walk to my place after our class tuitions. 

so there you go , some cozy time at nosh . 

love everything about this restaurant - the food , service and ambience. 

it was one of nia's top choices to host her 21st birthday party and i applaud her for her keen sense

the outdoor area was such a perfect chilling zone but we decided to opt for the indoors instead. 

love how we had a meticulous waiter and the entire indoor area to ourselves :) 

my main dish ; grilled chicken served with mash potatoes & asparagus . 

i'm very boring like that . i opt for anything that comes with potatoes. 

in fact , potatoes served as my mains rather than the chicken itself :x 

Bestie's main nosh : kurobuta Pork Belly 

Apple Chutney , Roasted Nutmeg, Sweet Potato Mash & Sweet Potato Crisp. 

neither of us were fans of sweet potatoes but the mash was really good. 

apparently Nosh serves really good desserts . 

their desserts are specially created in collaboration with local pastry chef janice wong ( of 2am dessert bar fame) and desserts like toffee date cakes were hot favourites. 

it's a pity that i was really craving for milo pingpong from island creamery instead. 

new found love for the ice cream flavour ever since nia introduced it to me two weeks ago. 

& i'm a huge fan of milo. mum's been purchasing milo packets for good 10 years :)
