Weekend roundup

Another weekend has come and gone, and I can't believe that we are nearing the end of August already. Where did the time go? I'm so nervous about the year end approaching because of the house and more financial commitments but I'm super excited about finally having a place of our own! Talk about being on the fence.. geez.

Weekends are usually spent catching up on Hong Kong dramas (Triumph of the Skies 2 obviously) and home-cooked meals. We bought a TV! (Damn kiasu I know...) and it comes with a free soundbar and wireless subwoofer ! Mega exciting! I went with the mentality that all we are lugging home is a tube and a square box... then when we arrived at the collection venue we were greeted with this.

I walked right by it and didn't even give it a second glance. It didn't even occur to me it was this big, until the lady at the counter told us to just pick 1 and go. My eyes popped open and I went, "That's the soundbar?!?" She rolled her eyes and nodded before resuming her typing.

*rolls eyes*

A tiny tiny soundbar in a huge ass box. Okaaay.

Anyhoo... we head on home for dinner before heading to the movies. *Yawns, yes we know we are boring folks*



Salt-baked chicken, the usual greens and pan-fried salmon

Am dying to try out the newly opened Lady M located at Marina Square this weekend.
Lady M, an upscale dessert boutique hailing from New York’s posh Upper East Side has arrived in Singapore! Its first branch here holds only 12 tables, but nevertheless showcases the bakery’s dessert-making ethos that combines the finesse of French pastry techniques with a meticulous attention to detail. One to try is their signature mille crepe, a laboriously stacked cake of 20 handmade razor-thin crepes, layered with feather-light pastry cream, with coconut and green tea renditions.

Just look at this beauty...

Can't wait!!!

So, our weekend...

Felt like baking on Saturday and bake I did. Woke up bright and early at 7am to prep and I was surprised at how much fun it was and how much I missed baking. Saturday baking sessions are rare because as I'm no longer home during the weekends. But everyone who received a cake loved it, so my lack of sleep was totally worth it. :)

Booked the wrong movie session at 7.15pm instead of our usual 9pms at Vivocity. Clumsy fingers... so we had to rush to get some quick dinner before our hot date with the R.I.P.D (which was an all right movie, not as good as I thought it'll be). But we both had the same cravings (surprise, surprise...) so we ended up at...

Favourite Fish Steamboat!

Tian Wai Tian! Our fave place for fish steamboat! Chilli Prawn with Tofu is absolutely to die for. I can eat this all day, everyday.

And because din din was so early, we ended up being hungry after the movie ended. So we gave in to Macdonalds drive-thru and plonked in front of the tele to watch Cruel Intensions which I thoroughly regretted and am gonna make up for it with fish soup sans the carbo for the rest of next week.

Simple but awesome weekend. :)

P.S. Found and confirmed our ID! Excited much!

More home decor, bear with me.

Am very much into home decor of late and I can't stop scouting the net for things and colours I'll input into my new home coming this year.

Gorgeous workstation. Simply to die for.

Loveliest kitchen to cook in, or in my case, to bake in.

dreamy......

simple, minimalistic, everything in sight

heart sheets, nuff' said.

lilac roses, tray chic.

Pictures that inspires and delights me everyday

战利品!

Loots from the hubby from his trip to Korea! Felt bad coz only 3 items are his. >.<

Saranghae! 

Yippee! ( ⌒o⌒)人(⌒-⌒ )v

Will do a review soon on the individual items on my beauty blog. Stay tuned!

Armchairs

There's nothing I like better than a super comfy armchair at the corner of my bedroom. My current room is too teeny for that because I needed a desk for my study table from way back when. But this situation's gonna change when my new house comes!

I can just imagine, curled up on the chair with a hot cuppa and a romantic novel. Ahh... Bliss. 

Saw this last weekend and fell in love with it. 

These few are absolutely dreamy too!

I know right, this is the blah-est of the lot. But I always make sure I take a seat on it during my visits to Ikea. Oh... heavenly!

 

Yummy Italian

Amici is fast becoming one of my favorite Italian joints in town.

Went there for a meal with my gals one night which turned out to be an awesome bachelorette's party. Brought hubs back there for a meal recently after raving about it for months. 

He now loves it too. But the waiting time is crap... I was on the verge of fainting from hunger by the time my food arrives. But the meal was really yummy, definitely be back for more! :)

In other news, may get some exciting news by the end of the week. Fingers crossed!
