my cooking style is very practical…it goes something like “ok, i need carbo, veggies and taste (go!)”. it’s usually mixed in some kind of soup base just so everything’s in one pot and i use the pot as a bowl. so when i suddenly get inspired to cook something special, it’s usually quite short burst.

this was one of the days when i wanted to head to a favourite cafe for a sandwich, coffee and read a book but was turned off by the possibility of it being crowded so i shopped my own ingredients instead and ate at home <3 enjoyed it very much!

i LOVE(!!) market lor mee

met caroline for dinner at the soup restaurant

we had the chicken with ginger, sweet potato leaf with chilli and fried but super soft tofu. wa…eat until so full and happy :D 

tiger in a basket haha

at OUTBACK i think…they have the best mashed potatoes!! ahhh want some now

Just some random photographs from January haha. today gonna support my friend’s event at the Singapore Arts Museum (SAM). It’s a dialogue/debate thingy about Singapore’s cultural heritage at 2pm. It’s only for an hour so if you’re available and happen to be around the area do drop by! (click facebook page)

so yes, part three of my adventure with sis haha - sidetrack, i realize i’m a very chapter by chapter blogger. i like to segment my photos and each post the photographs need to complement each other and stuff. weird haha and so that’s why i have posts that are entitled “part three” - but anyway, onto our adventure.

after a super full dinner of chee cheong fun and porridge (yum!), we decided to take a walk and headed towards ann hsiang hill area. and as we were crossing the road I spotted this huge lomography sign glowing bright red in the night. cool! they were having some kind of event…not sure what it was though haha but nobody stopped us when me and my sis cruised right in to check out the new store. 

but if you frequent the other toy camera shops in singapore as much as i do (which honestly is not that…much haha but enough…i frequent the 2nd hand camera shops more often ;)) well, you’d have seen most of the stuff already. so when we browsed enough, shuffled in the crowd enough and stepped on enough streamers, we continued our walk. that was when we were deliberating about photographing a stranger (haha) and then it was time to head home <3

the end of the adventure! till the next one :D

old ruins

we travelled in these pickups!

M+W with marcus doing some mid action talk :P haha

walking to the entrance

entrance of the cave…well, you have to climb a bit of course haha

oh hey cave wow wee done.

“i’m batman…” he whispers

more cave

beautiful mountains

saw this little girl walking towards me

and one more when she got closer

after having a scrumptious lunch we headed off to the caves. we were suppose to go there with the children or something…but they were still in school. right at the end when were heading off there was this little girl walking towards me and she was looking at me giving the “what is she doing?” after i snapped a couple of shots, i waved. and she broke into a cute smile and waved back <3 

following our coffee stop at The Plains, since they closed at 7pm, we headed off in search of food. just randomly, not knowing where we should stop to eat and having no direction in mind, we found ourselves in Chinatown.

“too expensive”

“too crowded”

“hey hawker center, want to go up?”

it turns out that there’s this store on the 2nd floor hawker center that has been open for a really long time. my sister’s friend used to come here with her grandparents when she was little. they serve breakfast food like chee cheong fun, yam cake, fried beehoon and porridge. we were there at night…yes, breakfast food at night…haha and there were people queuing!!! and i think here’s why, with the commercialization of many food joints well…the food’s just food…you know? but when you eat porridge and chee cheong fun from this store, it’s that exact taste of how chee cheong fun was or how porridge tasted when I was young. and it just gives you that comforting feeling of “ya…this is my home (singapore)” and i miss that. haha i know, it sounds a bit corny but with so many coffeeshops closing i’d gladly admit my love and cling on to whatever real singaporean coffeeshops there are.

# which reminds me of my friend/sister’s-boyfriend upcoming exhibition about places in singapore that mean something to you! will share soon :) do share with me places that makes you go “ya…this is my singapore” i would love to visit them too!!
