so exciting!! so fun! quite stressful! makes me wonder how people actually manage to drive!! i mean seriously! how do u coordinate the hands, the eyes with the legs.. i cannot multitask! haha
this new job really seems to require me to drive. i'm kind of grateful this job prompts me to take up driving and im also grateful to my 'driver' who tries his best to send me for my far away or multiple appointments. =)
after the lesson, i made my way to town. am scheduled to meet lydia for facial. she has kindly offered to treat me for facial using her package when i told her i've not done facial for years. and her per session is not cheap, around $200!
i was early and since i'm on leave, i decided to fully utilise the day! i first went over to Robert Timms to enjoy my brunch. its such a shiok feeling! because its a weekday morning, the whole place was empty. everyone is working while i'm on leave! shiok-a-doo-da-doo!
usually i wouldnt order coffee, i will prefer chilled drinks. but u know, these kind of coffee cafe places, its usually the hot coffee thats more picture perfect so i ordered the hazelnut latte under the server's recommendation. proved to be a good choice!
look!
so cute right???
after brunch, i went to shop around a bit. my first visit to the local H&M! see, shiok to be on leave on a weekday!
i bought a couple of tops for my upcoming trip and saw a really lovely pair of pink gloves from H&M! Got me reminded of the beanie from Accessorize again!!!

pretty right?? why so expensive?? sobbbbbbb
i keep reminding myself, lydia say buy next month only if i still cant get over it. truth is, now as i gradually pack my luggage, i feel as if it will match ALL the attires i packed. but its $50!!!! ack!
lydia arrived at about 2 and we headed for our facial.
us after the facial!
no make up on! felt like our face was glowing....
after the facial, lydia had to head back to work so i went to meet up with saphy and sharon at bugis! monopoly deal buddies! hehe
they did dinner at crystal jade la mien xiao long bao...
we played 2 rounds there before sharon suggested heading for desserts at Antoinette. She was really excited about the place so i agreed to go when she said its actually opened by a previous chef at canele. it was along lavender.
when i reached there and saw the sign....
i was like.. " eh!! why u bring me here??? isnt this the place from...."
sharon replied.. " ya, mandarin gallery! "
thats when i related to her the incident when i went over with meina and aloysious the last time, how when the server was planning to show me to my seat, he said.. " come ".. machiam like im his dog?!
but since we were here, i went along.
and now that sharon has mentioned it, i found the decor here very similiar to the canele. the victoria style plush sofas and the macaroons towers.
sharon and saphy...
i was still full from my brunch so i skipped desserts too.
sharon ordered a strawberry shortcake....
looks totally the same as the one from canele. it taste good too but in comparison i think canele's one had more moisture.
saphy had a mont blanc...
it was yummy!!
we continued with another about 3 rounds of monopoly deal here before calling it a day. saphy refused to play more because i kept winning! hehehehe
