Marmalade Pantry Ion

I met up with JG and had dinner at Wheelock Place's Skinny Pizza. I've been there once with the girls so I thought it'd be ideal for dinner on Sunday night since it's less crowded over at the Wheelock's. Then we proceeded to Ion for some late night famous Marmalade Pantry desserts, which was raved about by most reviewers.

Grossly overrated. We ordered Sea Salt Caramel Cheesecake. I can't remember what the other one is called, some fancy name. It's ok to forget about it because after 1 bite, I didn't even bother to taste it again. Maybe it's because we're too full from Skinny Pizza's black pepper prawn linguine and Good Ol' Ham & Cheese Pizza. I'd love to try the Marmalade Pantry high tea set again soon if I have the chance.

Ok ending the entry with a hot guy photo. Haha. Saw this in FB and thought it's funny. I even showed this to Stephen and ask if he can try to achieve that body I mean you guys would agree with me right? Man pelvic bones are sexy haha.

To counter Monday blue, we arranged for a zi char dinner after work at this secluded industrial area. I had to take a 15 mins bus from my office to Kovan NE Line MRT, alight at Serangoon MRT to change to Circle Line, then alight at Bishan MRT to change to NS Line, then alight at Ang Mo Kio MRT station, met up with the rest of them, took a bus and alighted 5 stops away, walked 5 mins, then we reached the place. Phew.

This is in Serangoon station. Bishan station has triple this amount of people!! CRAZY NOT! I couldn't even get into the train! People from the back pushed me all the way into the train and I'm stuck there. My friend couldn't get in even after 4 trains. I'm so glad I have direct bus from my company back home. It's not a full bus and I always get seats. TingMin say she has to go through this every single day! Horrible!

This restaurant is hidden in between the car repair shops. The air-conditioned area is very small and it can only fit 5-6 tables. 1 table can fit around 8-10 people. It is extremely noisy inside the room due to all the echo so the owner soundproofed the room with real egg crates. Cheap but not very effective.

5 of us ordered 2 fried beehoon (which BY claimed is the best beehoon he had ever tried), 1 fried rice, pork knuckles, curry fish head, braised tofu, salted egg yolk crab.

Obviously we couldn't finish the fish head, tofu and pork knuckles. What a waste!

Chinese fried rice is aromatic and delicious. Everybody likes it more than the fried beehoon. Curry fish head is good, crab is mediocre, deep fried pork knuckle is crunchy, dry and un-greasy. Total for 5 of us is S$130, about S$26 per person. Anything with crab in Singapore is overpriced.

Would I go again?

NO.

It's not because the food is not good enough but because it is not a cab or public transport accessible area. The area is quite secluded and I don't feel safe walking around there. Do you know what a big deal that is? I've never felt unsafe in Singapore before.

I came home pretty upset because my friend actually said over dinner that I'm fat. I've always been self conscious of my weight but then, which girl isn't? Which girl likes to be told they gained weight ah? Ok maybe he didn't use the word 'FAT' but he said I've gained more weight and look more MANTAP now wtf what a nice word trying to say someone is big sized D:

Then my girl friend who's as thin as (if not thinner than) ShuShan say "she's not fat la. even I'm (she) fatter than her (me)"

#okay.jpeg

We're not even in the same rank. Her arms are half of mine and when she said that, it actually makes me feel 100 times worse. Not sure why she said that. (1) She's trying to be nice so I won't feel bad after being told blatantly I'm fat (2) She's blind.

Nola just kidding. She's tiny and pretty. Plus I've known them for ages, and if they can't be honest with me about what they think then who else can??!! It's all universe's fault (coz nobody else to blame).

FAT meh? Un-photoshopped ok! I actually thought I lost weight! If you mean I'm big sized and all. C'mon. I've played tennis the 1st 20 years of my life. It has to leave some "signs" on my physical structure right?! I'm not really weight-trained but I do have litttttttle bit of muscle. I've always had that athletic body and strong and wide shouldered and manly. What you expect me to do?

Do a jaw reconstructive surgery to make my wide face become V line ah? Or take a saw and chop off my shoulder blades? Or use a rough sandpaper and polish off my hip bones? Or use a scissors and cut off the fats dangling from my arms? Ha?

I know even all of you feel irritated about me talking about weight all the time. But can you blame me? Now you know why. I have people telling me to watch my weight every now and then. THEY are the one who make me self conscious about my weight when I should not! I don't know if I'm on denial or what but I really don't think I've gained weight or anywhere near fat. Why do people always make weight such an issue and make life hard? Can't even eat nasi lemak or curry mee in peace? It makes me happy! Why do people just have to comment about weight ALL THE TIME? Ok I know who to blame. Blame the media! It fucking portrays all the skinny boney woman and relate them to "pretty" and "beautiful" and "gorgeous". If you're not that, oh then I have to remind you to watch your weight.

Ok. Just needed to rant. It's not really that big of a deal wtf.

All Men Cheat.

It's all over the news. The China expatriate crashed his Ferrari into a taxi, killing himself, the taxi driver and the taxi passenger (a Japanese woman).

The accident has sparked outrage in Singapore. Singaporeans have long hated the Foreign Talents who have flooded the country, who, in their opinion, have caused great deal of inconveniences to the locals. This accident just further fuels the hatred.

The taxi driver left behind 2 sons and a daughter, and is the sole breadwinner of the family.

The only survivor is the China girl in the Ferrari. What's even more tragic for the Ferrari driver's wife is the man had frequented nightclubs and had taken this KTV hostess out for a spin at 4am that morning. He ran the red lights supposingly trying to show-off his skill and car when he crashed into the taxi.

It's so fucking tragic.

Bareback.

Oh hello.

Nothing new. Same old, same old. I work like a mad cow. I can't even finish 1 episode of PPS when I get home. YOU KNOW WHAT A BIG DEAL THAT IS? You know how obsessed I am with TVB dramas and can watch it for like 100 hours non stop? I can hardly finish 1 episode now without dozing off! Which also means, I'll go shop for some good tempur pillows. Most mornings I wake up with stiff neck and followed by headache so I think it's about time to invest in 1 good pillow.

I woke up around 9 this morning because my appointment is at noon. My employment pass is renewed! Looks like I'll be slaving myself off for another 2 years.

Right after collecting my card, I went shopping! I'm so outdated right now and not sure what the 'IN' fashion is anymore. Went into the shop, and grabbed most of the dresses to try. To my horror!!! OK let you see.

I was checking the front out when I felt the chill at the back then turn around and why got one big hole??!!

And then I tried another one, EVEN BIGGER HOLE, actually is almost bareback. What a pity, I actually liked the dress if not for the back.

I also tried on a few nice pastel color dresses BUT they're all bareback ones?

What is this?! Is that the trend right now? I liked all the dresses but I really can't find any suitable occasion to have a sweet front but...bareback. I can almost hear my friend say "eh your dress got big hole" when I go out wearing these dresses.

Oh finally! My back is covered wtf. Unfortunately this is my least favorite of all 4.

So in the end, came home empty handed. I really cant justify paying that price for a missing piece of cloth at the back. I'll go Orchard and check out ALL other dresses tomorrow.
