I am Titanium. Jk, I am Shirin.
Home Based Learning Week. 09 November 2013


Had been cooped at home for 2 days straight. I was too lazy to leave the house to buy lunch or anything. Well at least I finished my work on time. Skyped with the guys and Gladly to discuss about work and yeah, it was quite fun.

Finally, I got to step out of the house for dinner with Chai @ town. We decided to try out Nam Nam Noodle Bar, Vietnam cuisine. I'm not really use to the taste of coriander in my food and I do mean a lot of coriander in my food.

TOO MUCH CORIANDER!!!! 



We then tried Ladurée's Macaron @ Ngee Ann City. Chai ordered the Ginger Bread flavour while I took the Salted Caramel one.



We both agreed that it was quite a disappointment for $3.80. ): 
The Salted Caramel that I ordered wasn't salted at all, not even a hint of saltiness. It tastes just like normal caramel. Was really disappointed. Sigh. 

Last minute shot before we left. 
The Xinlins. (: 


Bernice and Xinlin then came over to my place to study, lunch and bake. (: Bernice and I went to buy the ingredients then cooked lunch for 3. (: Thus making Chai to wash the dishes. HAHAHA.

Presenting our homemade lunch for 3. (: Surprisingly, it turned out great.


Sort of failed our first attempt to make Oreo muffin/cupcake. Oh mann. ):


Photo with the babes. (:


Parents took a day off as Cindi's lessons end really early and well, I have done my work.
We headed to Mustafa Center to buy gifts for our China trip to visit our relatives there. It will be our first time visiting them, really excited for the trip. (:

The amount of Axe Oil we bought for the trip!! 
Plus it was very very heavy, the basket was about to break, I swear. 


Totally random, but look at the different type of tapes they've gotten! And this is only one aisle.


Was really shocked by the amount of instant noodles they sell. Too much, too overwhelming. 


We then headed to Dong Po Colonial Cafe @ Kandahar Street for my traditional Coconut Tart, finally! Had been craving for them since who-knows-when. 


The amount of traditional pastries they sell here.YUM!!


Coconut Tart.
 It was a little sweet, but who cares. 
CRAVINGS SATISFIED! (: 


Almond Macaroon (Tart)
Delicious! 


Ordered a Coconut Tart, Almond Macaroon, Butterfly Cupcake and Tea. (: 


Bostock. 
Really great and unique taste. (:  


The cafe itself has that nostalgic feel. Playing all the very old Chinese songs, even I know at least one of the songs. It was from one of the TV drama that they used to show on Channel 8 when I was maybe 7 y/o. 



The tables has all the traditional items showcased too. Every table has different items placed. So much feel for the place. 


Walked around Arab Street and Haji Lane.

One of my favourite shot of the day. (: 


 Haji Lane. (:



Oh, oh! 
My second night driving lesson with a different instructor, I was really nervous. Not sure why, but I drove quite badly. Oh man. Made quite a few mistakes in the circuit, I even mount the kerb! That area was kind of  dark, thus I mount the kerb. ): Thank goodness the instructor didn't scold me, but trust me, I was feeling so bad when I made the mistake and he didn't scold me. 

Well, I guess this would be the feeling when I take my driving test. I need to relax and just drive as per normal. 

Enjoy your week ahead! (:
