MAF 2012

With each passing MAF and with each passing age, the excitement of the festival seemed less captivating. As usual, the festival centred around grandma's birthday (it's her 88th) and the whole family gathered at her place. Somehow I will be one of the first few to arrive at her place and have to wait for the other cousins to come (which is usually a few hours later). Tons of food aside, we used to carry our lanterns (we are given lantern money) around the park. Yet, as we grow older, the 'baton' is passed to the younger generations. Not that I am complaining but it seemed that beyond a certain age, some things are more enjoyable in the past.

Chilling about

Had a really great time chatting with A and made me realised that I missed my friends. Argh, the insanity from a mundane lifestyle.

Regret

Will I regret it?

Chilling with colleagues

We were supposed to have OT but it was cancelled at the last moment. Thus presented a great chance for us to chill the night away at Wala wala. Nice for everyone to loosen up after a long day of work.

Pho Hoa

Pho

Even though there were many positive reviews, this bowl of beef noodles didn't impress me. The noodles were harder than what I expect and the soup wasn't as fragrant. Sure, it was filling but I doubt I will be back.

Omurice

Tried cooking some omurice after watching Rooftop prince. A+ for effort but probably a B for taste. LOL...

Mum's bday

Celebrated mum's bday with dinner at Watami and a strawberry shortcake from Four leaves.

Food for thought

Huge portion of spiced chicken cutlet

Red velvet (supposedly good)

Some chocholate-y stuff

And a bday cake out of apple crumble

Still a slice left

Lucky me, there was still a slice left in the fridge.

Sweet

Bday present from R.

Dinner at Marche

Had dinner with the gang at Marche. First time eating it in Singapore (had it in Zurich) and was quite amazed by the crowd. We ordered rosti, salad and our mains of crepes and my grilled chicken breast. The food was good and fresh (cooked on the spot) but slightly pricey. Great ambience though.

Cooking and happy

With the abundance of food in Singapore, it is a surprise that people will opt to cook at home. Somehow, I was getting sick of the food from hawker centres and decided to cook for myself. Even though it is time-consuming and less tasty, I felt much happier.

Carrot cake

It's been a long time since I had this carrot cake from AMK and the quality remained good. Needless to say, there was a queue for good food.
