Dinner @ CurryFavor Stamford House


Last night, I went out for the first time to town on my own, on public transport to meet my geography girlfriends :D I haven't seen them for donkey months it feels, the last i saw them was during the exams 7 weeks ago. Joce came to visit me with Macdonalds breakfast (ha ha ha, MacGriddles no less) a week ago though. :) :)

Geog Honors class is coming up with a calender to commemorate our 1 year as a class together, and the times we have spent. So everyone have become calender girls and boys. My group is doing 'Mirthful May' and we are discussing what to wear and what theme to adopt. I think it is so cool to have a class calender, and to be calender girls no less. HAHAHA. :) So yesterday i brought all sorts of Japan Vivi pictures to show them my beach + whimsical girls with lots of accessories photoshoot idea.

Soph was working dinner shift at CurryFavor yesterday so in order for a all of us get-together, i got the rest to dine there. The first time i went there, i didn't exactly like the food because it was not flavorful enough for me. I ordered some Half-sized beef curry stew in 'regular'; but it was not spicy enough. Their portions are huge so i am really glad they came up with half-sized portions for small eaters like me. This time, i ordered the half-sized Pork Katsu Curry rice (the recommended one) in 'spicy' and was completely blown away.

As someone who cannot live without sweet chili, this is my kind of thing. Flavorful curry that is made from scratch instead of using instant japanese curry mix. Most (or all other?) restaurants use instant japanese curry mix because it is hard to make Japanese curry from scratch, i read that it takes 5 hours to stew it with vegetables and potatoes and spices. Although i personally like Waraku's beef curry don and believe it to be the best i've ever tried, i think Curryfavor wins it hands down this time round. The stew is thicker and completely original because it is made from scratch, i like made-from-scratch stuff (: Feels homelier?

I didn't take pictures, this is from someone's blog but this is exactly how my half-sized Katsu curry look like, i think its the same dish!
Beside the curry which was really delicious, the pork cutlet was cooked tender and just right with a nice crispy coating of breadcrumbs, while the Calzone rice is a little sticky and shaped so cutely! It has a nice chewy texture too. The sides - pickles and crabmeat salad was really, really good too. YUM, now i have all sorts of craving to dine there again. My dish was only S$9.80 :)

Other famed dishes includes their tofu curry and mushroom curry but my favourite is still Katsu.

Oh yes, and i shopped a bit yesterday!

The Dating Persona Test

The Priss

Deliberate Brutal Love Dreamer (DBLD)

The Priss


Mature. Responsible. Aristocratic. Excuse me. The Priss.

Prisses are the smartest of all female types. You’re highly perceptive, and confident in your judgements. You’d take brutal honesty over superficiality any time—your friends always know where they stand with you. You’re completely unfake. Don’t tell me that’s not a word. You’re also excellent at redirecting internal negative energy.

These facts indicate people are often intimidated by you. They also fall for you, hard. You have a distant, composed allure that many find irresistible. If only more of them lived up to your standards.

You were probably the last among your friends to have sex. And the first to pretend that you’re pregnant. LOL. Though you’re inclined to use sex as weapon, at least it’s not as one of mass destruction. You’re choosier than most about your partners. A supportive relationship is what you’re really after. Whether you know it or not, you need something steady & long-term. And soothing.


Verdict:
It is a pretty cool test and it is quite accurate. :) What do you think?

Il est parti

Mon chéri, il est parti. Les jours dernier, je suis heureux être avec lui. Le temps est peu, mais c'est tres importante pour nous. Chaque fois nous rencontrons, il j'aime plus.

Je t'aime beaucoup.

Mille bisous,
principessa

Thinking about chemistry

I am so confused.

And listening to an Air Supply song that i like doesn't help, it's so sad!
I missed their concert in Singapore because of my injury, that's sad but well.. life's like that. :(

"I would rather hurt myself than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say
But Goodbye

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back from where you belong"

He's back. Yes, for a few days. And making my mind so messed up. Completely messed up.
Resolve dissolves, stupidity creeps in. Heart racing, and so scared. Because he's going to leave again. I am not prepared to follow.

Some people will always remain friends no matter what happens, no matter how much time has past, no matter how hard he/she tries. And some, they can never be just friends with you because they incite too much feelings. Is this called chemistry? Chemistry is instant, you either hit it off or you don't. And he either goes to the 'friends only' pile, or the 'potential ____' pile, or the 'impossible for anything' pile.

Bleeding love and barbie nails

Something happened for the first hour i am with you
My heart melted as if it found something true
And everyone's looking around thinking i am going crazy

But i don't care what they say
I'm in love with you

They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that i keep on closing
You cut me open and I keep bleeding...
Keep keep bleeding love
.

I just love this song. I listened to it at least 5 times a day on US radio every single day when i was there. Constant exposure made it mandatory to either like it or hate it.


As there is nothing much to do at home (actually there are many many things), i've been painting my nails and doing many random things. I think i can go out already, i can walk without crutches now. Anyway so here are my barbie pink nails!!!



Yes, I am wearing something.. A teal dress


Some weeks ago before my injury, and feeling all inspired about home cooking for myself.
I made some healthy vegetable soup for lunch, and everyone loved it!

I should have taken the picture when the cabbage is still green but i had to take a call...and when i came back it's no longer green!!!! But it tastes really, really, really good. :) It is my lunch, a one pot settle all soup.

And when Joy and Anna visited me for the first time, they baked some very yummy healthy muffins with carrots, green apples and pumpkin seeds. I love it, it's better than the sugary ones outside that taste too buttery. Although i love sweet things, I am craving for my gfs' homemade healthy muffins instead.

Now, WHERE IS MY OVEN I NEED TO BAKE THESE!!!

It is not so sweet because most of the sugar is from the apples, and they have less oil so it taste more like steamed cakes than muffins, but i can seriously eat two or three of these at a go.

And lastly, these macaroons from Jasper which i talked about previously. I love this flavour.

Online shopping madness!

When you have to miss the Great Singapore sale offline, you have to get into the action online. How can we miss this fabulous discount madness time?! Although the wares i have been getting my hands on are quite irrelevant to the GSS...

But, who cares right? ;) Shopping is shopping and it makes you H-A-P-P-Y.

Joy keep asking me to show her the new bikini i've bought from Korea. So here it is! YAY isn't it nice? :D

A picture of it worn by the model, in a different color and pattern, but in the exact same cutting, click on the picture for a better view. Too bad i'll never look as slim as her, but if we don't wear such pretty things now, we may not have a chance in future! So girls... just have fun, it's summer! :)


Beside the most adorable mint green polka bathers, i also bought this ruffled white shirt. Seems like it could be worn for work in future. If only i am as daring to pair it off with a floral skirt like that, i realise my clothing silhouettes are quite boring, i should try out more things such as this one below. Hmmm, first i'll need a floral skirt and a cute waist belt..



And these casual open-toe flats with a cute tie-back! I love simple and comfy shoes. Which means i practically live in ballet flats and strapped open-toes. I think i should be more adventurous with shoes too, why am i so boring?

All the stuff i bought are from Korea by the way. Authentic Korean :) They're not very cheap but more affordable than the direct korean imports in Far East Plaza. I love Korean quality and their adorable cutting.

Heh, and i also bought these ivory rose earrings which are quite intricately made. There's one in coral too and it's really sweet, but i thought this could be worn to the office. Argh i really should be more exciting, i'm always so safe..


So i kind of spent quite a bit yesterday online.. but i'm happy and hope the clothing fits me well.

Some weeks ago, i bought a rhinestone embellished earphone (yes, also from Korea).



Hope the stuff comes soon!! :D
