Beautiful Saturday;

Headed out to Marina Bay Sands with mommy on Saturday, ‘cos she’s been wanting to check out the Louis Vuitton store Island Maison. Bratty sister couldn’t join us as she had to attend her friend’s 21st Birthday Party at Chevrons.

WIWT

Decked out in Love, Bonito Covet Walsh Top in Black, and Peplum Floral Skirt (this versatile piece was one of the few that I’ve scored from their Helipad sales!).
Accessorized with DKNY bag, RUBI sandals, MYnt-Shop snowflake necklace, and Omega Analog Watch.

Sis’ decked out in Love, Bonito too; Poised Blazer in Mauve, and Pink Reversible Dress (from their first LB collection).
Accessorized with hand-me-down necklace from Mommy, and Victoria’s Secret Bag.

Thanks to the Circle Line, it’s so much convenient now to commute to Marina Bay Sands via train! Wanted to locate Toastbox for some coffee and tea break, but the interactive map didn’t help so we gave up -___- Ended up window shopping, and mommy said no to the YSL clutch. She asked me to invest in a bag first, ‘cos it’s more practical. Mothers have their ways eh? Finally arrived at the LV store, and mommy eyed a couple of bags already. If only the price difference isn’t so big between Singapore retail price and European countries’ pricing, the heart pain wouldn’t be that much. LOL! In any case, it’s good time spent together with mommy her leg’s still hurting, but I’m glad she agreed to head out for awhile, getting some fresh air and (window) retail therapy helped too.

Check out her happy face! :3

Anyways, the skyline was so beautiful over the weekend. Managed to capture a few shots with just my iPhone, and the #nofilter photos are really mesmerizing. It’s always these few spots where you could proudly say that Singapore is a beautiful country – from the Helix Bridge, Esplanade, Fullerton Hotel, and the Promenade.

Fun at Genki Sushi;

One random afternoon, we decided to pop by town area to walk around and settled a late lunch at Plaza Singapura Kopitiam. I had actually planned to bring Stan to Genki Sushi for dinner, after reading/hearing all the rave reviews from friends! But since we had nothing much to do (or shop), we reckoned that we would take an early dinner (despite that earlier lunch) first. And also, reservation is not allowed so we decided to avoid the dinner crowd.

We reached Genki Sushi at about 5pm on a Saturday, and there were only two other occupied tables. Very clean and nice place imho, and tucked in a quiet corner of Orchard Central. It’s our first time dining here, so my hands naturally went trigger-happy with my iPhone 4 camera.

The menus are placed by the side of the conveyor belt next to you, and the iPad (used to order your food) is placed above the conveyor belt.

My first time making my own matcha in this manner;

Ordering our food using the iPad #likeaboss;

Look at the cute way of delivering our orders to us; there are two vehicles – one Ferrari and the other is a bullet train!

xx

NOM NOM – all the dishes that we’ve ordered; Kakiage, Jellyfish, Salmon Sashimi, and lots of sushi!

xx

The bill came up to about S$20+, which I thought it was pretty worth it for a Japanese restaurant in Orchard Central. Food wise, we think Sushi Tei serves better Japanese food (in terms of the Jellyfish and sushi) but the Salmon Sashimi was pretty decent too.

Maniac Monday;

A maniac monday in short; packed up the mess from Saturday’s event whilst decked in office attire wasn’t fun at all. Not to mention, the rain during lunch hour kinda left us drenched. That definitely dampened my mood, and my hair too.

Met up with Stan for dinner, though he has witnessed me at my ugliest but I still felt cranky that he had to see me with my soaked hair and attire after a long day at work. Nonetheless, it was a good dinner :B nothing fancy but wholesome and awesome hawker fare at Blk 505 Jurong West Street 52 (Jurong West Food Centre). Our main objective was to have piping hot Beef Noodle Soup, but too bad its rest day is on Monday so we had to look for alternatives instead!

Swee Kueh; finally satisfied my cravings for this!

& his favourite, Oyster Omelette.
Give me the egg and skip the oysters please! Never a fan of oysters =/

My main dish, simple Duck Rice.
In case you’re wondering, Stan had Char Kway Teow. Haha, sinful max.

Albeit the hectic work/school life lately, I’m ever so thankful that we try our best to make time for each other. Be it a short meal, a simple text message, or even just dropping by my place nearby to spur me on with happy food, you know it best.
Thank you, dear soul mate =)

And ending my post with a review of Love, Bonito (LB) Cameron Cardigan in Black, and MYnt-Shop necklace!

I snagged this piece immediately after I saw the tweet from @LoveBonito! It was available as extras from backorder, and I am oh-so-slated that I had managed to get this beautiful outerwear in Black. They have added more colours for this cute little cardigan, but black is still the most versatile of all. The swallow prints are gorgeous and dainty looking, hence jazzing up this otherwise black cardigan. It’s a bit snug on me though, but I foresee pairing this up with simple basics for work or sundates! So, this is definitely a keeper for sure Only issue now is, I have to stop purchasing outerwears >.< Tsk.

Back to books, once again. Bummers//

Just for remembrance’s sake, this day would not be occurring until 100 years later.

Then again, any other day will never happen again. So, morale of the story? CHERISH every single day

On a random note;

Movie Review: “Paranormal Activity 3”

Details:
1hr 24min‎‎ – Horror (English‎)
Director: Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman
Writers: Christopher B. Landon, Oren Peli (characters)
Cast: Chloe Csengery, Jessica Tyler Brown and Christopher Nicholas Smith

As part of a tradition of celebrating Halloween, we had visited Night Safari (Halloween Horrors) for the past two years; but this year, it has been called off (bummer!) and the USS Tickets were too expensive so we decided to go for a horror movie together instead! Haha. Golden Village also had a horror movie marathon at Jurong Point, but we skipped that and went for Paranormal Activity 3 instead.

Following the success of Paranormal Activity and Paranormal Activity 2, Paranormal Activity 3 is more of a prequel to the other two instalments. It is the story of Katie and Kristi when they were much younger, and somewhat the origin of the demon was being told as well. Shall not reveal too many spoilers here, all in all…we thought the first instalment was the scariest, but this latest movie shows the most violent scenes in terms of sounds and sightings.

Not worth the weekend ticket price in my opinioin, but good to watch if you had caught the previous two instalments.

Movie Review: “What’s Your Number?”

Details:
1hr 46min‎‎ – Romance, Comedy (English‎)
Director: Mark Mylod
Cast: Anna Faris, Chris Evans and Ari Graynor

The moment I saw Chris Evans in the movie trailer of “What’s Your Number?”, I exclaimed to Stan rather loudly in the theaters – WE MUST WATCH THIS! Well, nobody can really deny that he is such a hearthrob <3 Anyways, despite this movie being a rom-com chick flick (in my opinion), the movie theater at Vivo City was packed with quite an equal ratio of male to female surprisingly. Story plot is the predictable rom-com layout – girl met all the heartbreakers, then bumped into this guy but some shit had to happen which led to misunderstandings. Shit got cleared up, girl and guy made up. The End. It’s that predictable, lol. The saviours in the movie are the occasional humour, Anna’s bimbo self, and definitely the hot bod of Chris Evans. I swear that his charm swooned all girls in the theater

Not a must-watch, unless you are a big fan of Chris Evans

Weekend Movie Dates: “I Don’t Know How She Does It”, “Johnny English Reborn”, and “Friends With Benefits”

Like most couples in Singapore (Stan and I believe), weekend kinds means movie dates. As much as we try to find time during weekdays to catch the movies we’ve waiting for, weekend timings are more preferable. For the pass three weekends (since my birthday weekend), we’ve caught three movies – “I Don’t Know How She Does It”, “Johnny English Reborn”, and “Friends With Benefits”. To add on, it was like a movie marathon last weekend – we caught “Hubble” at Science Centre (IMAX), prior to watching “Friends With Benefits” at GVJP.

Here are my takes on these movies, but of course your views on the movies may differ from mine so, read with a pinch of salt!

“I Don’t Know How She Does It”

Details:
1hr 29min‎‎ – Comedy (English‎)
Director: Douglas McGrath
Cast: Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan, and Kelsey Grammer

The first of the three movies over the past three weeks – we caught this movie during my birthday weekend. It’s quite a chick flick if you were to ask me, so (most) guys would not enjoy it I think. Somehow it seemed more like a drama series than an actual movie. Nonetheless, it speaks true of women these days – juggling a career that she wants to pursue, mingling with her children and chores, and of course making sure that the relationship with her husband does not go stagnant. Quite a handful huh? Light-hearted comedy, but I find the plot quite forgettable. Catch it only if you have no other movies for a movie date?

“Johnny English Reborn”

Details:
1hr 31min –  Adventure, Comedy, Thriller (English)
Director: Oliver Parker
Cast: Rowan Atkinson, Rosamund Pike, and Dominic West

Heard lots of rave reviews from friends and colleagues that we just had to catch this movie! FYI, I did not watch the first installment of Johnny English, and I totally get the movie so it’s not must to catch the first one yeah. We caught this movie at Cathay Cineleisure, and I just have to add that Golden Village theatres have better seats in general -___- meh. Anyways, this movie is hilarious! Rowan Atkinson totally lives up to his name as a great comedian! His antics were funny as usual, not really the predictable sort I must compliment on that The story plot is interesting as well, combining Western and Eastern culture into one movie is a clever move I must say. Hurry go catch it before it stops screening, I think it has been out for a while already! And oh, do stay back for the credit mentions to end /winks.

“Friends With Benefits”

Details:
1hr 29min – Romance, Comedy (English)
Director: Will Gluck
Cast: Mila Kunis, Justin Timberlake and Patricia Clarkson

The last movie of the movie marathon for the past weekends – Friends with Benefits! A rom-com definitely awesome for date nights, heh. A lot of grinding and bed scene actions, which I thought it was a little too much at a few parts of the movie. The puns and jokes made were funny though ;D Justin Timberlake is really becoming a better actor with every movie he starred in. Chemistry among the cast is great, and I think the bottomline of the whole movie is really sweet and true – “If you find someone who makes you happy, don’t let him/her go.” It’s not the exact same statement, but somewhere along that line. You get my drift, I bet.

Feeling under the weather since last Friday, I seriously didn’t expect it to be so bad that a simple flu led to coughing and now it’s sore throat. Sucky that I had to forego the NIKE 10K Run, meh. Anyways, thanks sweets for the surprise (Daisy) that I was caught off-guard whilst sipping my warm mocha at McCafe. Mommy love cooked pork/scallop porridge for Sunday’s lunch, it’s totally TDF.  Life on Sundays like these, perfecto!

Back to editing, minutes correction, and … the list goes on. Have a great week ahead peeps!

x, out.

Movie Review: Love & Other Drugs

(credits to Google Search)

Yesterday, I caught this movie at Jurong Point, before heading to shopshopshop in Town! Wasnt really expecting much ‘cos there were mixed reviews about it being a normal rom-com, a bit too cheesy; so we entered the theater treating the movie as something to catch for a movie date. The front part was a bit draggy but as it progressed, I am loving the story line Heartwarming story and conversations, and how a couple would struggle if one’s ill…I think Anne looks great in the movie, and she played her role really well Jake looks hot (muahaha, debated with Stan re this for awhile) and he’s pretty funny too! A tad too cheesy ending, but I am still loving this movie lots. Not to mention how apt this movie date came to be on a day like yesterday, big smiles. Worth the weekend ticket price, so go catch it! x.
