Back to blog about part 2 of my trip home! So, the day I flew back, I could already feel the left side of my gums swelling. Dismissed it as being too heaty, so decided to load up on the fluids. But turns out that I had a wisdom tooth infection! *groans* perfect timing ): It became quite bad the last 3 days of my trip, so I couldn't enjoy my food properly. Nevertheless, I tried and also had a great time catching up with friends! :D:D:D
Friday
Met Auds & Joys for a nice catch-up at The Landing Point at The Fullerton Bay Hotel. It's my first time going for afternoon tea on a weekday at such an atas place, I totally felt like a tai-tai! Yes, this is the life (:
We ordered 2 afternoon tea sets to share and we couldn't finish! There were both sweet and savory items served, including -- lemon and chocolate tart, cakes, lobster rolls, open-faced sandwiches & more. Yummy! I'll let the pictures do the talking!
Too bad there was a private function going on so we couldn't sit facing the river. It was a great experience though a little on the pricey side. I think I'll be checking out more high tea places when I'm back!

Met ex-colleagues for Boon Tong Kee at River Valley. I am so lucky to have gained good friends in my previous job. These peeps definitely made the work life more enjoyable. I am so thankful for these not-so-little angels (:
Mel, Serene, Mark and I then walked to Zouk to get our Citibank Free Entry Chop. Since it was pretty early, we decided to hit Winebar for a couple of drinks. We had Kiss of death, Snow White & the 7 dwarfs and sourplum shots. And presenting, our resident model! Heheheheheee :D:D:D
We were still sober so we got another round of drinks from their party pooper menu, namely Hot & Sticky and Flaming AK47. Hmmm, bad idea. Let's just say we didn't hit the dancefloor. And I didn't make it to Rasputin to support Magey's party. Oops! Nor my usual 5am ba chor mee place! ):
Saturday
Busy busy day with appointments back to back. Met gossipshit for brunch at The Plain. The Plain is a melbourne style cafe and I just love the laid-back feeling of the whole place. Side note: If you are in Melbourne, go check out this cafe called Babka. They have awesome food! I want to make a trip back just to satisfy my craving for it!
Anw, I was still feeling the aftermath of the night before so didn't get anything to eat. The iced chocolate was pretty good, thick and milky! I wanna come back and try the eggs, they look delish!

Headed to Peg's office nearby. Her office is so awesome! I am determined to work there next! Hahaha. Anw, had a great time chilling with the girls in our own little "private" space, since it was a sat and no one was around. I love these girls, always have so much fun and laughter with them. :D Wanted to set self-timer but I accidentally set 10 shots in 10 seconds. Hahaha. We were like what's going on while the camera kept clicking away.
I rushed down to Thomson to meet my squadmates for a catch up over at Little Pancakes! Little Pancakes is opened by my primary school friend, Kristy and I wanted to show her some support since I was back in Singapore.
Squadmates and I ordered some pancakes to share - Strawberries or me, Gimme S'more Oreos, Ape about Bananas and Peanut Butter Time. My favourite has got to be the ones served with caramelized bananas and vanilla ice cream. It's made up of everything I love so it's like my dream combination! Yums tums!
Please drop by to support my friend! I am sure you'll love the pancakes as much as I do! (:

Since there was a new mummy at our table, our conversation mainly revolved around babies and HDB and stuff. And to my horrors, I realized how grown up we all are now! We met when we were 13, just stepping into our secondary school life. And in a blink of an eye, 10 years have passed and here we are all talking about grown up stuff. Oh, how I miss those carefree days back in school.
Anw, here's one of the lil' sleepy kiddo. I love babies!
Headed to I12 Katong to meet Benben for dinner and Spiderman. By this time my mouth was swelling and I was really sleepy, so no photos. But the mall looked like it had plenty of food choices and I wanna go back and check out Charlie T's next time. Anw, slept through the first half of Spiderman so I managed to continue our catching up till the wee hours of the morning.
It felt good to have spent my whole day catching up with my girlfriends. Glad to have met all these angels in Secondary School, life would have been so different without them by my side and I love every one to bits! <3

Sunday
Family time! :D:D:D Went to church then headed to a Cantonese Restaurant at Tanjong Pagar to have lunch. I love eating with my family. I get to eat at places that I wouldn't normally eat with my friends in Singapore. We over-ordered and were completely stuffed. All these food for 5 people, can you believe it?

Went to visit my maternal granny after that. Bumped into my cousin and got her wedding invites! So excited to come back at the end of the month for it. I'm planning all my outfits already! Haha. Spent the next 3 hours settling blogshop stuff before heading home for some much needed rest.
Monday
Visited my godma then headed to a peranakan place for lunch with my paternal grandparents. I could barely eat and was practically in tears everytime I chewed. Dad and Mum then dropped me off at the airport. Sigh, back to work ): Tho I couldn't wait to get back to Hong Kong so I could see a dentist.
Yeapps! So that's about my Singapore trip. Typing this entry makes me miss home and I cannot wait for my next trip back again. Wish time would fly.. Anw, I have been walking around the shops during lunch hour. Some changing room shots!
My new favourite brand - Reiss. Everything is gorgeous here! I am so tempted to get a bottom for my cousin's wedding but the skirt is S$130 and the pants is S$180 after 50% discount! And it's a little loose and long so I have to spend more $$ tailoring it. I totally love the cropped top and floral shorts too! Hmmm. Contemplating.
A velvety body-hugging polka dot dress from Zara. Just check out THAT ASS. My butt looks so hot in it. Haha. And the dress was on sale, so cost only about S$40. Cheap! But I got no place to wear it to. So final verdict was.. don't waste money lah.
Tried on this maxi at H&M, but it's too short to wear with heels. Bought it though, cos it's the material I want for one of the dresses we're making so I wanna show the supplier! Whee! Hope the dress we're making comes by mid-november so I can wear it to my other cousin's wedding then! It'd be perfect for all those year-end parties too! *excited*
Okies, as usual, ending off with an OTD. Sigh, tomorrow's Monday again. I think I am having the monday blues already. I have problem waking up early and I hate rushing to work everyday. *whines* At least there's muay thai to look forward to tomorrow :D
Anw, next post will be on the S$200+ crab I ate yday! NO KIDDING!
