vanilla bar & cafe

after dont know how many umpteen failed attempts to head down to vanilla bar & cafe, michelle and i finally made out way down together. that's after breaking our legs walking around raffles place looking for it. just to find it towards the end of boon tat street that is closer to ann siang and club street. slap us.

happy, we were greeted with the pleasant scent of vanilla and foooooooood and why of course AIR CONDITIONING! jee. its shit hot walking around raffles place finding vanilla man. practically melting under our denim. hell.

japanese food. i guess its a 7/10 there, the food is pretty decent. not fantastic. i had the japanese curry chicken cutlet rice, which im certain i've tasted better else where (did i mention the rice was this crazy huge portion that flooded half my plate? very good filler for hungry souls). but still good. michelle had the alla carbonara, cream based sauce with ham. its pretty good i say. i had my after meal, strawberry smoothie. shit i should have snapped a photo of it, it was GIA(NT)MONGOUS. fucking hell. i could fill myself for a day by just having that smoothie. epic sinful stuff to be having at 10pm. full cream milk with strawberries and ice cream all in one wholesome concoction. very damn well certain, my arteries are choking at this very instant as i type. my girlfriend has the matcha ice cream with japanese red beans. not a fan of green tea ice cream, but michelle's exclaiming its good. a main course and an aftermeal dessert, with +7 & +10. we each forked out about 19$ each.

lovely place. we easily sat there for hours gossiping and ranting. cosy family run cafe at a nice corner of raffles place. certain i'll come along again with my love one. or even ask for delivery when im absolutely damn lazy. the all day breakfast and sandwiches looks just so good. ohhmp.

you can find them on facebook too.

ride on photobooth with some monthly home-trimmed fringe

hope and faith.

dead toe

ive been so fascinated by my dead little toe. cant seem to find a joint on it, so i can't quite bend my pinky toe no matter how i try. all my pink toe does is curl up like a mini shrimp. fag. it still registers pain though. interesting. there's my feet with veins and nerves about to explode. if it wasnt for lomo, i could probably study the human vein web shit. creepy shat.

chilly monday. awesome day to nap at home and take a day off from work. (shit why the fuck is my table wobbling as i table) before napping i headed down town to pick up some shirts for darling old shawn and myself. which reminds me, need to rid off old distressed shirts and all that fuckugly passé stuff from wardrobe. its taking up space. getting too bloody overpopulated in there. good day to do my laundry too (its a good day for me everyday to do my laundry thk god for the invention of the laundry dryer).

whatever the heck. images of my weekend burnt over at mount faber, cable car singapore. filming the loading up of the cable car's bull wheel (the shit that drives the cable cars round and round) but some austrian engineers and their construction team made up of bronze coming from other developing countries. these bunch of people are amazing, fancy working around without a hard hat and some safety vest. they got balls of steel. its seriously some dangerous shit to be standing close to that wheel, cos as much as it looks like its secured, its not.

since, i haven't been going much about my life here for some time i shall make up for it by throwing up some old stuff i got and i really miss very much. this is it, and what was left by then: one vestax pdx2000 and a technics 2ch mixer.

happy monday.

sunday, you were so goddamn boring balls

i got out of bed at 3. from then on it was nonstop i tell you, nonstop, epic boredom. sunday was sad. i got out of bed too late to say yes to any plans or even make any plans.

all that dreaming of brunch and scrambled eggs first thing i wake up.

and now monday blues already. i hate sundays i tell you.

stiff neck still. catching old mtv series on youtube and pondering over courses i should probably be picking up to upgrade myself. can't help but feel old. though i don't feel old, never, or maybe occasionally when im depressed from constant bad food. courses. more courses. more programme guides and module descriptions and school fees to wreck my head about. jee. work isn't just the only headache, going back to sch is also another one. epic. and im not even doing this for myself. i wonder what im doing this for. my circle didn't need an epic load mountainful of certs to get them going. ah, crap. whatever.

dread work. dread the project im on. pray hard it gets over and done soon. in 3 more f weeks.

caught with hello kitty

thai cuisine for dinner over at parkway thai. and im packed to the brim. special occasion today, it's shawn's dad's birthday tomorrow. hence, the feast. the food was delish. the tom yum soup was just scrumptious. no doubt. the whole pot was wiped out, not a drop left.

shawn's sis went over to hong kong recently, so basically that sums up everything: thai dinner + a souvenir from hong kong + sitting beside shawn over dinner.

that's a wrap.

too much time and too many magazines

can't eat. can't sleep. can't dream.
and i don't know why.
maybe a nice little vacation soon might help.

a rainy april, so far

been a busy week, had loads of stuff to do and prep up. loads of shoots happening concurrently. so it's been a pretty hectic week. but cheers to good friday, it made the week shorter. paving way for an enjoyable weekend, except for the rain that kept coming.

anyway we had dinner over at da paolo pizza bar for a bit of good friday vibe. it was delicious the smoked salmon pizza and baked pasta we had. the atmosphere was dim, cosy and warm to hide away from the rain. swear i could smell a million dead cows with so much leather hanging around the whole pizza bar though.

visited one fullerton for a bit of late night coffee and cake delights last night. then strolled down the merlion park. changed a heck load since we last came here together when we were way younger. singapore surprises all the time by putting on a new face almost every day.

all that late caffine completely screwed up my bioclock leaving me dead lethargic today with my whole body aching and running a fever. should have gotten juice and cake instead. oh monday blues. it gets bluer when you're unwell.
