I cannot be more thankful to God for blessing me with beautiful friends who keep me together when the tough gets going and for always reserving a part of their lives for me. :')
Today! I (finally) met Grace after a good 6 months. She spent the first 5 months on exchange in Auckland, New Zealand, and had to nurse a fever + flu the whole of July but she made time for me today.
Just couldn't turn down her invitation to lunch even though I've been down with a cold since last Friday (how unfortunate really, it made the rest of my vacation slightly unbearable). Although I arrived half an hour late, Ms Magnanimous still greeted me with her signature smile and the rest of our time spent together was nothing short of fun and laughter.
We had lunch at Everything with Fries (EwF) for the first time and I was honestly appalled at the price range! I really wasn't expecting everything to be in the $10s for a fast-food restaurant. Anyway, I ordered a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with shoelace fries (curry) and an apple juice while Grace ordered a mushroom cheese burger with straight-cut fries (barbeque). I never knew the difference between shoelace fries and straight-cut fries was in their thickness but I found out today so I basically had thin fries and Grace had thick fries.
Anyway, no pictures because I always seem to forget everything else when Grace and I start talking.
But if you're interested, my review about my own burger is:
We went into some of the boutiques to compare the price of a similarly designed wallet that Grace was looking at but I find the one at Kate Spade the nicest (and most affordable). I will, however, go back to Coach to get a small purse so that it's easier when I travel. I realised my agnès b wallet is too... fat (?) that it wouldn't fit in most satchels. My next wallet should be a long, thin one. Anyway! We went to get our bubble tea fix at Gong Cha before walking to City Link/Esplanade.
Actually, we did a lot of things. We went into a lot of shops on the way but I didn't buy anything. Grace did buy a nice pair of pink skorts from MDS and we did want to buy shorts from G200 but Grace said the outlet store at Changi City Point is cheaper so we didn't buy anything.
But still really glad we had a good opportunity to catch up with each other.
I don't usually use my phone when I'm out, unless I'm in a real awkward position. And today is one of the rare times I had 90% battery left after the entire day. We just kept talking and talking and... talking.
Time always seem to pass so quickly when we talk endlessly, haha. It was still so much fun.
Ending the post with my 2 favourite photos (of the 6 we took).
Goodnight~

But if you're interested, my review about my own burger is:
The portion is huge and I mean no-kidding kind of huge. I couldn't finish the entire meal but I suppose if you did, it might actually be worth the $14.90. Honestly, the curry fries didn't taste fantastic or anything different from what you would occasionally get from MacDonald's though the barbeque did taste rather unique. My sandwich was pretty straightforward. I did enjoy the cheese - it was rich yet subtle at the same time. It wasn't overwhelming but just right. It definitely did go well with the grilled ham, which by the way tastes very normal. I also added mayonnaise and chill sauce to my sandwich because it made a good combination. All in all, it was pretty flavourful but the fries were overrated. Also, I will never ever $5.90 for a meagre cup of apple juice again.After lunch, we couldn't decide what to do and since we had intention to shop, we ended up exploring 2 floors of Bugis Junction only to find nothing except we did buy socks (4 for $10). And then we walked to Raffles Place because Grace knew the way and we needed to digest our food at the same time.
