Of good cafes, of bad cafes

hi!! here to share on one good cafe and one bad cafe that I visited recently (ok, one was in Mar lol)!

shall start off with the bad one first only cuz i went there first!

might be quite surprising to all but the bad "cafe" i'm referring to here is none other than Kombi Rocks.. ok, must say tt their food is not all that bad.. just that the service we received was really really bad!

we went on a Sunday at arnd 12.30pm.. wkend lunch crowd I know... there was arnd 6 - 7 tables of diners.. so we placed our orders and waited...

and waited...

and waited somemore...

6th May 2012: Huiping's Special Day (Part 2)

here's Part 2 of my friend's big day! this will be all abt the dinner banquet..

so after the morning session, we left at arnd 1+ and reached home arnd 2pm.. managed to sneak in a quick nap and bath before heading down to the Singapore Flyer banquet room (Megu) at 530pm..

she had her solemnization outside the banquet room.. which had quite gd view! anyways, her solemnization was at 6+ and dinner banquet at 7+pm (eventually started 8+ so we felt like we've been there dam long alrdy.. haha)..

bride march-in with her father!

some of us at the solemnization

6th May 2012: Huiping's Special Day (Part 1)

one of my close frens got hitched early this month!

so happy for her, Huiping, from my JC clique~ She's the 2nd out of 7 of us to get married! there's 2 more weddings coming up from my JC clique this yr... so it's gonna be a bz yr for us! haha

i was abit scared of being Jie Mei again cuz from the past 2 experiences, I cldn't sleep the night before (due to anxiety from having to wake up dam early)!

So i planned ahead and decided to wake up early the day before (woke up at 9+am k! wanted to wake up at 8am but tt didn't happen as i slept at 2+am cuz mj ended at 1+am.. lol), so that i'd be sleepy tt night and will be able to fall asleep!

My plan worked! =) and i also was v happy i managed to nap in between the morning gate-crashing session and the dinner banquet..

anyway, enuff of me and more of the couple! the couple met each other @ NUS where both of them pursued an Architecture degree! I feel they are a v sweet couple and the guy is a v nice person! Can tell frm the various outings we had where he also tagged along.. and i'm v sure he will take good care of my friend.. so v happy for her!!

i'm gonna split this post into 2 cuz i got ALOT of photos to share!! so here's the first part..

Flower Fetish

yup i think i may have a flower fetish. a HUGE one!

i blame all the pretty flower prints that have been sprouting out in all the spring collections. From retail shops like h&m, topshop to blogshops!

i really love this yr's spring collections.. lace + flowers! soooooo pretty! but not healthy for my wallet =( plus, my closet's bursting!

and the flower fetish does not apply only to clothes alone loh..

i even bot a real flower! haha

cldn't resist buying this sunflower cuz it looked so pretty n cheery!

its a REAL flower k.

and cost $1.50.. pretty ok i feel

sad thing is tt it cld only last for 5-6 days.. =(

i also bot these fake sunflowers cuz they look so perfectly shaped!

and i love the colour..

$3 i think~

a flower beautifies a photo by bounds! haha

and i also couldn't resist buying this cotton on PJ shorts la!

i really love the floral prints on this one!

and i was really happy tt i cld fit into these cotton on shorts..

cuz when i tried abt 3 yrs ago, i cldn't fit into cotton on PJ shorts.. and i nv lose much wt frm 3 yrs ago..

so my conclusion is tt they upped their sizes... tt's gd news for me! heehee

2 for $30!







aiya, i'm sure u'll be seeing MUCH more flower/floral printed stuff on me in future posts.. lol (if u noticed, the previous posts also got floral printed stuff already!)

21.04.12: Sisi's Wedding

attended my friend's wedding last mth @ La Villa!

first time attending a friend's wedding dinner tt is NOT held at a hotel banquet room (not counting church wedding la)~

was rather excited cuz its an italian restaurant (love italian food!) and heard its a v pretty place!

and it was really pretty~

flowers at the reception table.. they were arranged in a heart shape!

unique "guest book" where the jie mei's helped u take a polaroid and you write ur wishes on it..

then they displayed it like this..

we were rather early so we cld place our photo in the frame like thingy.. heehee

outdoor seating for most of the guests cuz the restaurant not tt big..

but they set up a tent + it was quite cooling tt nite.. so still ok!

our table!

the solemnization was held right before the dinner, on the lawn area outside the restaurant..

here's the bride's father handing the bride over to the groom..

JP solemnizing the marriage..

the pretty setting..

yay, finally man and wife!

us girls on one side of the table..

and on the other side..

we are the earlier birds..

mr heng flew back from US esp for this wedding!

acting cute in this pic by posing with the candy floss!

there was a candy floss machine at the wedding n someone making candy floss for all the guests

this was also the first time i've attended a buffet style wedding!

its great tt we get to choose wat food we want and how much of each..

but then, cuz there were only 2 buffet stations, there was a long queue at each..

and dunno why the queue moved super slowly!

but then, the food was great~

and this was also the first wedding where there was an actual wedding cake which all the guest cld help themselves too!

the cake was delish too.. lychee alcohol flavour.. and the alcohol flavour wasn't tt strong so it was great to me =)

the couple also gave us each an ang bao with a 4d ticket inside..

the ang bao was hidden below our chair's cushion..

one of the xiong di asked us to check below our chairs and we found this!

the ticket was for tt nite's 4d draw and the xiong di read out the top 3 winning numbers..

but i think no one striked 4d tho.. haha..

but it was a novel idea.. loved it =)

don't have any pics of the bride and groom close up in my iphone.. only took with them with the prof photog's camera and those pics will prob won't be out for a LOOOONNGG time..

so i'll just post some of their wedding photos which they took in Germany which i took off FB.. heehee..

the pics are dam gorgeous la.. and so is the bride! she did her own hair and makeup cuz din haf any stylist and makeup artiste there with them.. lihai rite..
 my fave pic is the 2nd one i've posted above..
