I got back from Australia last Friday morning and after taking 1 day to unpack, dye my hair and catch up on The Heirs, I was back into the swing of things!
21 December, Saturday
I went out for brunch with Grace and Tiff at Selfish Gene Café at Tanjong Pagar!
Unsurprisingly, Tiff was late hahaha so Grace and I went to the café first and ordered our meals. I had The Valerie, which is this:
And Grace had scrambled eggs on brioche, which Google claims is highly enriched bread hahaha. Tiff still hadn't come even after we finished eating so we chatted for awhile but then Grace said they were going to chase us out if we didn't order something, so we ordered coffee and drank s u p e r s l o w l y.
Oh and on a side note, Grace thought the cashier at the café was someone from her school! And she got all excited and showed me his instagram and everything. But when we went up to the counter to order, it turned out it wasn't him at all...................... Omg it was so funny! We had to stop ourselves from bursting into laughter while ordering hahaha
Anyway, Tiff came when we were halfway through our coffee. She ordered coffee too and we talked for awhile. They gave me my super belated birthday gift too! It's really thoughtful! And I was wondering why they kept meeting up when I was away haha.
After that we wanted to take a picture outside the café so we had to ask passers-by to help us. It was soooo difficult to get a nice photo! In the end we asked 3 or 4 different people to help us take but none of them were satisfactory! Hahaha it was kind of embarrassing, I wonder what the people sitting in the café must have been thinking cos we really spent quite a long time standing outside lol.
The first lady didn't even include Tiff in the picture -_-
Ok la this picture not bad... but...
...we wanted one with the sign
But Grace was too dark so we asked another person....
LAST PHOTO:
Grace brought her polaroid with a self timer and tripod stand (wow so professional haha) so we walked around the area in search for a nice place to take a polaroid. When we found one we set up the polaroid and tripod on a table and all the passers-by were completely judging us! One lady even gave us a judging frown.... I don't understand! What's so wrong? Anyway it was quite worth it cos the picture turned out really nice!
After that we walked to the bus stop and parted ways cos I had to meet church people at GWC to prepare for our FIT dinner :'(
I spent the afternoon cooking at Marianne's house. Steven even taught me how to poach an egg!! :D :D Dinesh did most of the cooking though, I just helped whenever I could. In the end this is what we came up with:
Fruit salad,
scalloped potato with sour cream and bacon,
eggs benedict and
cooked salmon with sugar and garlic sauce.
I guess it was nice spending time with church friends. Since I'm not very close to them, this was an opportunity to build our friendship. :)
Anyway FIT is going to get more intense next year because we're going to have to recruit new facilitators and impart our skills to them! I don't think I'm ready to graduate yet :O
22 December, Sunday
I met up with the Dare 6 team in the evening! We were supposed to go cycling from 6pm-8pm but everyone was late except for Gin Kee so we decided to scrap the cycling haha. Instead we headed to Penny University for dinner, but we found out that they stop serving food at 5pm so there were only desserts and coffee... Super disappointing :( Then we walked from Penny U to i12 Katong and decided to eat at Fatboys after longggg deliberation.
After dinner we headed to Blackball at i12 for dessert! YAY. It was my first time trying Blackball and I really loved it! Anyway after that we walked around the shops looking for presents.
Here are some Rena-inspired photos (because she uploaded some model poses on FB) which we took really long to take because we couldn't stop laughing. How did Rena do it...
These are also Rena-inspired:
It was a really fun night and I love the turtles! :)
Anyway, today I have to go Christmas shopping which is the most stressful thing ever (other than exams) so byyee! xx
