August Highlights | Tehpeng Tower @RK house, Smores Ice cream, Color Run, Teenage Gorgeous You 2016, Boufe Cafe

First thing first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

By the second week of August, I was in semi-panic mode because I was thinking.. what I've done for the past two weeks. I had to search up my phone camera memory to remind myself cause I did nothing but workkkkkkkkkkk and played pokemon. Turned out my August was quite happz by the end of the month!

Here's what I have found on my phone.

Don and I helped Ben with his contest and I starred as his B<s>imbo</s>FF and I think the content was really quite funny, watch here if you haven!

 

Look at my ridiculous faces wtf

Caught up with my uni-friends aka i.KEA over Mootaka and S'mores Ice creams!
FINALLY got my mookata craving satisfied, well not so cause it wasn't really up to my tummy standards. Nonetheless, it's always good to have great accompany.

My friend, Kenneth, also took the chance to show off his new phone's camera to take the picture of the following mookata and TBH, the Samsung S7 Camera quite good sia.

21 Cube Artisan for S'more Ice Cream

Queen of AMK (me) also brought my friends to the recently raved/hyped 21 Cube Artisan for some S'more goodness! Fellow AMK-ians, this ice cream parlour is located at the old sumo house area! If you are not familiar with the area, it is near Cash Convertors, opposite the AMK MRT Station.

Since there's three of us, so we got one of each cone to share - S'moreos  ($5.90) on the left and Honey Goldilocks ($6.40) on the right. My personal favourite is the Honey Goldilocks for the yummy Elderflower Honey that was drizzled on top! Yums so good and I could foresee myself having more hangouts over there with my foreign neighbourhood friends.

That same night I also had steamboat with my percussionists. #siaoone

I got quite busy after that week cause Pokemon Go is out and I had to go out and catch Pokemon and shed some weight. It was rather productive. Oh gosh who am I kidding.

On one of my percussion Pokemon catch dates, we met up, had a super filling dinner at Chomp Chomp and RK House. We crossed the road to eat prata cause our dinner at Chomps wasn't filling enough for us. And we had milk tea tower!!!!! WTFFFFFFF.

Our bad cause we causally disturb the staff and ask if there's anything more than milo tower, and we were like "bro got teh peng tower?"

HE REALLY BROUGHT US ONE.

Few days later, I continue my eating journey by having lunch with Leon and finally tried out Old Hen 's Cold Brew!

I think August was a fit month for me cause I did my first ever fun run with Sherms, Adel, Joce & Michelle! We had such a powdery fun time and it made my day filled with colours.

Color Run 2016

And there's always some time for night-outs! On the left is me and my uni friend, Evon, attending the RMIT Pre-grad party at Tap Craft, Capital Piazza. On the right is also me, getting ready to go.... meet my friend, then turn friends.

Boufe Boutique Cafe!

Then, I fell sick. I woke up with sore throat, blocked nose and all that nonsense but still managed to make it to my lunch appointment with JJ and Sophia! Sophia and I made friends while we were working for an event, while JJ and I were poly classmates, at the same time the two of them were secondary school friends. It was nice having epic conversations with them over super delicious lunch at Boufe!

I've been wanting to try Boufe for a super long time, I think almost 2 years? The cafe had some weird opening hours and I was late so Andy, Fenny and I missed it the last time. Then efforts to visit had failed so many times because of the location/the weather/operating hours, finally 给我吃到了.  Pardon the bad quality, I was quite sick I forgot to bring my camera :( #blameitonthesickcells

I had the Salted Egg Clayfish and JJ had the supreme breakfast. While I thought what I had was average, I loved the lemonade! Served with infused strawberry and cucumber, it was super refreshing, I think I would have a bucket, no joke!

On the following week, we have the SIM-RMIT graduation 2016.Quite bummed that I missed my breast friends' graduation cause I stupidly remembered the wrong dates. :(

 

Then comes the last week of August, burrrr It's time for the showdown! Thanks Ben for inviting us to the final round for TGY 2016, and I'm so proud and happy that he got the 1st runner up. To celebrate and fill our tummies, it's dinner time at The Tiramisu Hero.

 

Looking back, my August didn't seem as boring as I thought!

Ending off this post with the creepiest picture I've ever taken.

Loves,
A.

July Highlights! | Metier X, Kaviel's 23rd , SOD Cafe, Le Bistrot du Sommelier

Hello August! 

And it means it is time for the July highlights! 

One of the greatest highlights of the month has to be Metier X!
What's better to play percussion ever again <3

I believe most of us had mixed feelings that day for :
1. It's the first time we legit full band
2. It might be the last time in forever that we will play together
3.Our hardwork of 12 weeks finally paid off
4. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ON FRIDAYS NOW?

I miss everyone now :(

Also, special thanks to all who came down to support, it really means a lot of me and all of us.
<3


Before the concert day, Vigi, Ys , Addy and myself had lunch at the recently raved SOD cafe. It was kinda in our area so we popped by for lunch before getting our stuff done.  Food was decent just that... it wasn't filling enough.

This is what everyone was going for, the SOD Cafe Bubble Tea ($4.50).
The milk tea is average, but they had a good selection of toppings and we had fun with the dripper of course.

The boys ordered truffles fries  while we just take only, it's not bad!

Vigi and I shared the Chicken Supreme ($9.50) and  Spaghetti Aglio Olio with Prawns ($13.50). We really liked the flavours of the food, just a pity that the portion was too small for our appetite. :/

Addison had this Wild Berries & Banana Pancakes ($7.50), 10/10 for presentation but the portion really can be better!

All in all, the food was good, and hopefully it would be better the next visit!

    Later that week,I also went for Kaviel's drinking, I mean birthday party @ Hotel Jen Tanglin !
Tanglin Mall would remind me of my mug at starbucks days cause that's how I spent my last semester on.
It was my first time at the hotel so my friend and I went to explore a little before heading up to the party.
Not bad eh the place, Kaviel's room wow-ed me even more,it so big and it even have a decent sized kitchenette.
   
The balloon sculpture so pretty I also want!
Thanks for having me, Kaviel! 

I also took the opportunity to catch up with the old and new blogger friends!

I liked the sake the most. 

Summing off the month , Amelia and I had dinner at le Bistro du Sommelier, a french restaurant along Armenian Street. Prior to it, there were very little information about the menu and prices about the restaurant but all we knew was that they had good reviews. We shared two appetizers, a main and a dessert. I had a glass of red and the bill came up to $145, certainly a treat for ourselves. We had butter and bread to start with but i loved to dip with the escargots. No introduction needed on that. The other appetizer we had was the frog legs $26. While it was a pleasant surprise for Amelia, I found it a little dry for my liking. 

Since we were first timers, we asked for recommendations from our server and she gladly did. We had the duck leg confit. It was paired with some greens and quinoa at the bottom. I especially liked the quinoa. It came with a lavender/floral fragrance and later I realise that the chef added strawberries in it ! It was light and refreshing to go with the duck confit.

And for dessert we had their soufflé , the staff Shared with us that the flavour of the soufflé changes every 3 months and currently it is the fresh apricot. There was also white chocolate ice cream and fresh apricot slices to go with it at the side.
