January Highlights! | Flower arrangement class, Boufe, Bread Street Kitchen, OMU,

While I'm trying my best to survive February, here's some highlights in Jan! 

In Jan, I attended a flower arrangement class hosted by A Better Florist. 

Made myself a nice bouquet of flowers, spent quality time with my BFF while learning something new.

Had lunches at Boufe over work meetings.

FOMO with Kaviel & Jon.

Stumbled upon this FOMO place on facebook which I think it's just a revamped style food hall (another way to say food court ?) and grabbed the two boys to go !  Serving hipster cafe style food, the food was well presented, tasted good and was slightly more expensive. Can't speak for the rest but my favourite for the meal was this giant potato ball.

Going for a flower arrangement class

The BFF Adeline (or otherwise known as "the one who refuses to create instagram ")and I have a long lists of things to do/try-out when we try to spend quality time together and we meant quality time we make sure we spend each minute doing something fruitful. One of the things in our freaking long list is flower arrangement and the opportunity came when A Better Florist contacted me to do a shout-out for them.

 To be honest, flowers are not really quite my thing, I never understand them buttttt I still get very happy when I receive some. What sorcery wtf. So I chose to make my own bouquet instead of just receiving one from them instead! Here's what we got in the end! 

 Love it! <3 

We chose the Sunday late afternoon class at their florist , located nearby Clarke Quay, feeling suthat feeling you get when trying something new.) It was a good timing for us seems it was in between our schedule.  It was a class of ten, with our instructor, a full-timer in-house florist. We didn't talk much to the rest but it seems that they were here for a better reason. Eg : wedding bridesmaid activity/ birthday activity, nowadays people so hapz what am I doing to my life)

We walked over from the Clarke Quay MRT and it took us about 10 mins to get there? Fantastic human GPS Skills.

The class started a little off time but we still managed to end on time, which was great since we have plans afterwards.

  

Look at them so pretty  

The instructor made sure all of us are on the same track,  and doing it correctly. So thankful for that, if not I would have been quite a mess!

careless me!

Flowers aint the freshest, so I get extra roses, but we talk about zero waste right!

The aim was to learn about the techniques anyway :) 

Overall, it was a great afternoon spent. Although half the time I'm not sure wtf am I doing, the next quarter of the time figuring out what should I put the flowers and the last quarter putting everything together, the session was overall well-timed and interesting as we learned about the different plants and flowers used, as well as how we can put up a simple bouquet by ourselves. Thank you A Better Florist!

Cheap Thrills Saturday.

Hello !
It's time of the year for bonding time with Fenny so we went to the River Safari. Not.

HAHAH , very nice of Starhub to send me a pair of tickets to River Safari, but I overlooked the validity date by a week. Didn't know there was an expiry date whattttt. We didn't want to pay to meet the pandas so we en route to Choa Chu Kang, to explore Far-Mart, a place where both of us have never went before. I was super ready for animals (normally I'm not), so I was okay to deal with animals that day. Basically we took the $1 shuttle bus from a bus stop below the MRT Tracks and left to Far Mart!


To be honest, there ain't much things to do there, what we did was to snap some pictures and feed some animals. How I wish I had my driving license and a car to drive. :(

Fen brought some cat food for her strays so the shop assistant at SuperCats asked us for a picture, I think for her FB Page or something, so we had her to snap from my cam too, since we were on tourist mode that day.

Also met some bird-lovers showcasing their birds. They are so pretty they deserve some snaps from my awesome camera!

We cut through the prawning centre, for the Feeding Corner.

 Which was kinda the objective that day - to feed animals wtf.
Despite having so much fun interacting with the animals, I can't help to feel that they were kept in a poor condition. There were tortoises, frogs, rabbits, catfish , goat (!!!), guinea pigs and some chicks.

By right, no photography is allowed. By left, if you pay $5 for some food for the animals, photography is allowed. We bought a set of animal food which allows us to feed allllll the animals there. It was really fun.

Fed birds for the first time! I was quite afraid that they would bit me, luckily they are more afraid of me than I was towards them. Phew.

Goat xi fa cai, anyway it was just a few days after CNY when I was here , so meet Shun Li (smoothly in Chinese ) They were super active (not sure hungry or what) but harmless.

Hello bunnies! I didn't know rabbits DO eat carrots, I always thought they eat those random pet food!

A

And guinea pigs! 

Errrr, I don't know much about them but they just eat the carrots we gave.

We didn't feed the rooster but they looked like they were doing a shoot with us the whole time.

Ayam Brand endorser.

An attempt of welfie shot with the goat before we leave

Had a little break at the food centre, enjoying our coconut drink on the super hot day.

Far-Mart
Address: 67 Sungei Tengah Rd, Singapore 699008
Nearest MRT Station : Choa Chu Kang

Explored the new malls in the West, since there were so much changes since the last time we BOTH were there. How many years ago was that sia.  Tim Ho Wan in Singapore for the first time!

I would say the one in Hong Kong is much bigger and I doubt I would patronise the SG branch again, #missHK.

That marks our touristy Saturday.
Yawns, totally drained out our energy and I officially marked it as the most tiring day in 2015.


Loves,
A.
