House visiting part 2

Part 2 of my house visiting fell on Sunday. It was one of the busiest weekend I have so far, or rather I spent most of the time travelling to one place and another.
Went couple of houses on that day but one was pretty special. It was like my first virgin to there. I will elaborate more it on the later part. HAHA.




First stop: Nicholas's house. 
His Mum prepared delicious brunch for us.The Menu for today: Aglio Olio/ Chicken wings/ drumlets/ Fried dumplings. Happy tummy filled with Yummy food. Exchanged oranges and received a red packet from his Mum. Gathered all of them around the table, with food and drinks. Chatting along the way get us bonded. Surprisingly, a whole bowl of Aglio Olio was swept away by us fast and  Nicholas's mum was happy about it.  




 Some little photo-taking time before we proceed on to another house.










Second house: Jue's Yu house
Greeted both her parent and we sat for a while snacking all the goodies away. That day was certainly a FAT day for me. Been munching all the goodies ever since the first house I went. 
Just before Shireen & Hong Xiu have to leave early, I requested to take a group photo to keep it as memories (: Thanks to Jue Yu's brother.

Third visiting: GUESS WHERE WE ARE? Yes, I wouldn't expect to do my visiting at MBS. All thanks to Jensin for giving us a chance to step into MBS suite. But of course, many thanks to his guardian for inviting us. A poor girl like me will never have a opportunity to enjoy this luxury.



So yeah, this is the living room (:



So basically being the tourists us, we went around taking pictures, HAHA! Like country pumpkins. 






So Nicholas and I got excited when we see TWG sachets on the table. And guess what, we brought back home a few packets with the permission by Jensin. HAHA. Smart ass Nicholas took back each of the flavour. His true self TYPICAL uncle shown that evening. LOL.









They even provide high tea snacks for us.




And yes, we even have private chauffeur to fetch us back to Hougang. Like the first ever ride I have, sitting on a big 8 seaters van. One and only chance I got I guess.


Last stop: To my house and we had steamboat together followed by gambling with my brother's friends. What a good day spent! (:

Till then

House Visiting (Part 1)

Oh gosh, i'm finally done with all the house visiting today and really got my body drained off. Just ended off with a small gambling session with my brother and his friends. Finally got to pen down some of my activities for this weekend. With two days of house visiting, I'm really lost in how to get this post started. Too many things in my thoughts but my brain can't squeeze out any juice. HAHA. 

Starting off with a beautiful Saturday. This weekend wasn't spent with my boy because he was unable to book out, gone through 2 days of his field camp. But my schedule was good enough to keep me occupied. In fact more than enough. Had a good gym on the Saturday afternoon and decided to go around touring Serangoon Garden. Took Bus 136 and had a long journey back and froth. I have been wanting to check out Coffee Daily at Brighton Crescent for a while and finally made it down for an impromptu cafe-hopped. It’s situated along the row of shophouses where the Awfully Chocolate near Chomp Chomp used to be (they took over the unit). As it’s in a residential estate and a less see and be seen location, it was relatively empty when I was there on a Saturday evening. All the better I say, as you don’t feel like you have to rush through your cuppa. And guess what, one of my secondary school-mate work part-time there. I was over the moon when I saw her, chatted a little while before ordering my dessert.





COFFEE DAILY- Owned by a husband and wife team who used to be in the advertising industry, they now run the show at Coffee Daily themselves. I do love the look of the place – lots of natural lighting, white walls and bare concrete floors, vintage and mismatched furniture, reupholstered sofa stools, random old knick knacks, that sort of thing.


Wide range of items to choose from.


These complementary old-school biscuits adds on to nostalgic feel that the cafe has to offer. Frankly speaking, I really like the cozy interior of the cafe; it blended well with the vintage theme yet the overall atmosphere remains comfortable and homely-like. Oh and for those who can play guitar well, i guess you are welcomed to use that guitar that is provided at the corner.



Summer Berry Yogurt Tart ($6.90)
I loved it so much! It wasn't sour as what I thought!
I wanted to get the rainbow cake, but sadly, it was sold out when I reached the place. Was kinda disappointed about it but gonna tell myslf to bring Boy over me the next time round. I guess you have to go earlier and also I heard you can call the cafe to reserve a slice! And now that's what you called service!

After having a mini high tea for myself, I took bus home and got myself changed for visiting. Walking a few avenue/ blks away, it feels good to have friend who stays around you. And yet again, a good catch up with an old friend. Walked over to jiahui's house who I have not met her for a year? HAHA. Was glad that she invited me over to her house for "Bai nian". What's more, with other few "long time no see" secondary school mates ( basketballers included too). Our main motive is to GAMBLE which we always do every year (never fail!).



Jiahui/ Xue zhen in the house.


Meet my twins. JIAHUI/ HUIJIA! 











We waited for everyone to arrive and then we open up our gambling den. BANLUCK, IN BETWEEN, DIADI hosted inside the house. You can hear people screaming and shouting in the house prolly because they are watching Liverpool VS Arsenal soccer match. AND OH, can I say that Arsenal got trashed so badly at the first 20 mins?  BUT SORRY, im not a soccer fans though. I watched for the sake of watching.


This whole group of people that night. Most of them weren't from my class just school mates. It got me surprised how we know each other too? HAHAHA.











All the soccer fan club members. They said "TAKE US LEH! UNCLE ALSO WANT TO BE HANDSOME INFRONT OF THE CAMERA!'' SO JOKE PLEASE.
And yup, this marked off my Sat's visiting (:
House visiting part 2 will be up tomorrow. So stay tune for it. Gonna hit the sack now and fight for my monday blues. But I know that I won't have blues tomorrow because i'm seeing my boy for a short dinner! EXCITED (:

TILL THEN.
