Sunday morning at the (Holland) Village
My craving for happy food continues.

We think the one at Holland Village is the nearest, so we strapped our little girl in her stroller and we headed over to Holland Village for breakfast.
After breakfast we walked around a bit, although most of the places were still closed, including our suki, Parisilk -- best prices in town for electronics (promise!)

We passed by this extensive magazine stall where Bob picked up a French FHM - he's learning the language, he explains, and the magazine should help him. (Right.)


Of course the little girl was B-O-R-E-D. hehe.

Cant wait for the Circle line to open!

Can ya blame me?
For wanting good food on a late friday night?
It was late for me and Bob (10pm) because I left the client site late, and an even later dessert (12mn!) but good food is A MUST to unwind and relax. Especially since I have weekend work to uhm, look forward to.
So we trekked over to Holland Village (because we already know we'll be having dessert there) and discovered Foster's, a small nondescript English Pub, decently full of locals for a Friday evening. Place looks like every English Pub wannabe in Singapore, drinks selection is just okay (no beer on tap, only in can) but we just loved the food that we ordered! Bob had steak and mushroom pie while I had pepper steak (hehe, hungry).
We shared the fondue this time with The Luvs (who are commemorating their last week as legal singles, they'll be having their ROM next weekend).

Speaking of ROM, their's is actually the first that I'll be witnessing in my almost 4 years here in Singapore so I am curious about it. ROM actually stands for (Singapore's) Registry of Marriages but the locals use it to refer to a solemnization ceremony.

Then they gave us SGD5.00 voucher for next visit -- we're definitely using it! (I think Bob got envious of my steak)

Coffee Jelly is back!
When I am not tired or stressed out with work, I drag Bob around the city to satisfy my need for my "happy food". What I stumbled upon last Sunday night: Starbucks Coffe Jelly is back!

Sadly though, its not the same as before. :(
I prefer the square chunks of Coffee Jelly that was so addicting back in Manila, 2005. Now its just slabs of jelly that snakes into the straw as you sip. sigh.

Here I go again...
Check out new stuff from Everyday Minerals!
I can't help it, I go back again and again to the EM website even if my drawers are chokeful of mineral makeup... I still find EM the best value for money plus they always find ways to reinvent and improve their products.
Below are my new favorites:
Everyday Minerals Eye Compact
Pressed Mineral Foundation in new packaging
Retractable Kabuki brush
Baby Flat Top

Keeping Things In Perspective...
I just placed a ticker on my last expensive bag purchase upfront to remind me of my "reforming shopaholic" status. Its a onsite work free weekend (read: still have to work at home though. huhu), so I am itchin' to do a quick trip to Orchard (living a few bus stops away, how can I resist?) to check out what's on sale! sigh.
I MUST STAY PUT...
