Oh my! So elated that my tough days ended off on a good note. Was asked to attend 2 days of induction by my Supervisor and could barely listen attentively for these 2 days course. It was a freaking 9 hours of listening to our presenter and having to joint down important notes for me to remember. It feels like regaining back to my old poly days where I have to sit in in the lecture room and study/ scribbling down notes and trying to focus on what my lecturer have to teach. The course wasn't that bad on the second day as it required physical action, having a safety precaution toward the autistic students. Such rare opportunity that I received from the school and definitely allowed me to understand more about autistic child and also to handle them well in different kind of situation. The thought of having to attend it on next wed kinda pull me a long face but im sure it would be fun, at least don't make me fall asleep.
Through these course, I made new friends with the TP interns who are joining us on next Monday for 3 months. I was so glad to be able to group with the 3 musketeers which made the whole course more interesting and lively. I would gladly announce that our group was the most nosiest but also the most STEADY team. While each team has to present their work, we were enthusiastic enough to come up with a skit ( mainly because they love to act while me being part of the team have to join in too!) to illustrate a scene where real case happen, and how do we have to solve it.
Bought to you: Carissa, Sue and Glen. We named ourselves as SGJC, on the look of our first alphabetical. Sounds like 'Singapore Junior College" or "Serangoon Junior College". But anyway, I have a great bonding with them and more than happy to know that they will be helping out in Campus 2 so it means I will get to see them more often!
And what's TGIF without meeting up with my girlfriends? Its been long that we last hang out! I could recall that our last meeting was in USS given by Natasha's mum. Other than that, we are so busy with our daily lives. My sillies and I seldom hang out together but once we meet up for a short dinner, our conversation will never end, there will be alot of talking and laughter in each's conversation. I treasure friends who still make time for each other. This group of girlfriends will always be there for me when I need them, via whatapps/ phone calls. Never want to lose them in my whole entire life. Many people say that once you are attached, you will tend to drift off with your close friends. I'm glad that we are not this kind of person. Although both Meijun and I have our partner, both of us still try our very best to make time for each other. We even include our boyfriend to be part of the group. I simply love the feelings of my close friends hanging out with my boyfriend. And that's how each bonding grows.
Anyway, we have our dinner at Kovan's Bah Kuh Teh! The shop was called 'Shun Fa' BKT so I thought that it was the popular 'Song Fa' BKT, then I realised its actually a Franchise of it. Of course, the original Song Fa BKT taste better than the franchise. The taste differ on their soup texture. This outlet's soup is less peppery and weren't spicy at all. Shun Fat BKT makes it a point to have their BKT soup refillable! Free soup to the refill! The waiter kept coming to our table to top up the soup for us. Let say that their service was good!
Other than that, one has to order their sesame oil chicken and their ai yu jelly drink to soothe your throat. Upon having their chicken, you may witness a layer of oil on top of it. Simply layered it out if you are scared to drink it. The main focus will be on the chicken meat.
BKT will never go wrong with fried you tiao! Throw in the You tiao into the soup and eat it together with the rice! That's heavenly! Hehehe.

After our round of dinner, I thought that it would be good to find a place to have dessert and also to continue our long conversation so I suggested Hatterstreet which is just our area.
Hatter Cafe is a rather cosy restaurant that has an indoor sitting capacity of no more than thirty pax. The interior design is inspired by the popular animation Alice in Wonderland. It sells mainly drinks, pasteries and waffles. You wouldn't find any main course here!
It was a long queue when we arrived so it took us some time to get seated. We were lucky enough to be able to get their waffles as it ran out very fast. Felt pity for the those who queued but went back home without trying their waffles.
Our main motive is to try their waffles so we ordered two different flavours to try! Waffle with Panda ice cream & Gula Melaka sauce ($8.90) was one of the recommendation in most instagram. The waffle smelt great when it arrived at our table. I was totally blown away by the crispy crust and soft fluffy center of the waffle, and the homemade pandan ice cream tasted heavenly with a very authentic pandan aroma.
The other waffle was drizzled with salted caramel which also cost the same price as gula melaka.
I had this twice and it’s still as good on the second time. In fact I thought the portion is bigger. Their waffle is exceptionally crispy and yet the inside remain moist. I find caramel sauce quite sweet most of the time but not for Hatter’s salted caramel. There is a good balance between the sweet and salty taste that goes perfectly with the waffle.
Given that it is held at a neighborhood area, the business was genuinely good. They should start expanding their shop as it get a little cramp when there is an unstoppable flow of human coming in. Although we waited 30 mins for their waffles, their waffles doesn't disappoint us and in fact we will be coming back again for their pastries and coffee.
