Good day, y'all! It's been a good day thus far.   ☺ I went to relief 2 classes today from 2 to 6PM and, boy, I was so drained by the end of the day. I really respect the tutors who can teach Secondary Math consecutively for hours. Anyway, I managed to leave on time and zoomed to meet Mama for dinner at Novena. She's been wanting to try RamenPlay, which was where we had dinner. I was probably too tired so I didn't feel hungry at all. I couldn't bring myself to finish the food either. I felt like puking the whole day - after lunch and then after dinner. The food didn't seem to settle well in my stomach. Either way, it was our first time at RamenPlay and the food wasn't too bad. In order of the food that came: Crispy Chicken Gyoza (5 pieces) I realize gyoza  is a must-have for Mama whenever she goes to a Japanese restaurant. I'd say the gyoza I had today is probably one of the best ever. ☺ Tori Momo Don Set ($13.80) I didn't ...

So I've decided to update y'all on the second part of my 21st birthday. Now it feels like I've many more parts to come because every update is bit of this and that.  But this one is meant for all my relatives who came! ☺ A bit of a sidetrack before I move onto the topic: Some 2 weeks have passed since I celebrated my 21st but I don't really feel there's much of a difference.  Anyway, I've given up on editing my photos so please make do with the unedited ones. (Pardon my poor  photo editing skills from the previous post as well. ☺) Mandatory shot of me "cutting" my cake In all honesty possible, we had a hard time cutting the cake. It was an ice-cream cake (Loco Moco from the kids' choice of birthday cakes) from Swensense by the way. We paid $150 for the cake, which I can't argue whether it was a reasonable price or not but for 3kg of hazel nut and chocolate ice-cream, why not ? ☺ I had a to make a wish while blowing the can...

Yes, I finally, finally  am willing to update the site on the last part of my vacation in Cardiff. ☺ 5 July 2013, Friday The siblings came to join us! ♥ Aunty Shyam and I waited close to an hour for them and I couldn't express how excited I was becoming with each minute passing. (I think everyone now knows I am extremely  close to my sister which explains why I couldn't wait to see her.) And when we finally reunited, I couldn't stop smiling! We drove home and it was almost lunch time. While Aunty Shyam and I were out waiting for the siblings, Aunty Su and Mama cooked lunch so there was literally a spread awaiting us when we got home. ☺ After that, we asked the brother what he would like to have for dinner. This being his virgin experience away from home, we had to make sure everything fell nicely into place (I say we treated him like a king ). Anyway, he said he felt like doing a BBQ and that was what we did! Everyone else went out to Asda to get whatever ingredient...

I finally had time to go on yet  another foodie adventure and this time, thanks to the cousin's suggestion, I went to Nana's Green Tea  located on the third floor of Plaza Singapura's new wing. (-: I didn't try any of their main dish since I had dinner at The Soup Spoon instead but Alicia tried their Locomoco Don  and said it was pretty good. Its beef, by the way, which pretty much explains why I didn't try it for myself. Amanda and I tried their Matcha & White Pearl Parfait while Alicia had Berry Parfait . I personally enjoyed my dessert but Alicia didn't quite like hers. The berries were really sour and when you reach the middle layer of whiteness (which would inevitably be mixed with your berries) just began to taste like yoghurt. There's probably a reason why they're known for their green tea because my matcha ice-cream didn't fail me. The azuki (red bean) was really authentic as well. It was a balanced mixture of red bean and...
