Took some time off to eat with my most annoying friends (LOL HI SHAUN) before meeting a new client. Went to Tim Ho Wan because I’d heard good things; I wasn’t about to waste 2 hours (that could have been spent on freelance) on mediocre food. Queue took about 20-ish minutes, considering there was about 20 people before me, I think the waiting time was pretty acceptable. The food, however, is amazeballs!
We had both the Pig Liver Vermicelli Rolls (basically chee cheong fan la why must name it Vermicelli freaking mafan to type tsk) and the Shrimp Vermicelli rolls. The Pig Liver one was super nice; liver wasn’t powdery nor did it leave any aftertaste in your mouth. Good stuff. Shrimp one was tasty but it didn’t particularly stand out; I prefer the ones served at Canton Paradise.
Carrot cake was better than average – slightly burnt but not that crisp. I personally love carrot cake but I wouldn’t order this the next time around unless they’re ultra crispy. Pork Ribs also mediocre; Siew Mai and Har Gao were pretty damn awesome, the Har Gao especially! We ordered two baskets of it and fought each other for the last piece LOL. Shrimp in Beancurd skin was also better than average but rather oily; the standout fried dish would definitely be the Egg White Spring Rolls. Not your average rolls man seriously. At first bite they were rather bland, but upon further chewing, they released an intense eggy flavor that got more satisfying with each subsequent bite. Also, I love egg white so I may or may not be biased. But order it anyway la, you won’t regret it!
As for the Osmanthus Cake, both dudes said they rather liked it, although they did mention it would be a lot better if served colder. It was not appealing to me at all though lol. The star of the meal would definitely be the BBQ Pork Buns! They were coated in some sorta crunchy sweet/salty crust, upon tearing it apart you get to the barbequed meat. The combination was awesome! You know when people tell you how good a movie is and you go in expecting excellence and it often falls short of your expectations? Everyone kept telling me WOW THE BUN DAMN NICE and I was like pfft how nice can a freakin char siew bao be but DAYUMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
This was basically all 3 of our faces upon biting into our BBQ buns:
Unfortunately, you can only order 1 basket/pax due to the high demand. We obviously used up our limit LOL.
Service was pleasant; friendly but not too efficient, I’d say they are still getting the hang of things. Water costs 50 cents but is refillable, which was a nice surprise lol.
And yes we basically tried to eat our way through the entire menu LOLOLOLOL. Add 3 drinks to that and the total bill only came up to $81.10 after GST. Pretty reasonable considering the insane amount of food we consumed. Will definitely return on a weekday when the queue is not crazy long.
On a side note, you know how people always talk about the “Honeymoon period”? It’s never like that for me. If I hit it off with someone, I don’t believe in letting things sour. Plus it helps that I’m funny and the people I date are usually funny as well. Not as funny as me, of course, but passably funny is okay with me la I have low standards LOL. Actually no, scratch that, I am funny enough for two people! Okay that’s the story I’m going with and I’m sticking to it.
SO ANYWAY, funny business (HA! See how punny I am ^_^?) aside, I’m a fucking awesome girlfriend. Seriously. I don’t nitpick, I don’t give a shit about monthsaries (really?) or anniversaries or what have you. I don’t stop him from clubbing or pubbing or messaging other girls; checking them out in front of me or even taking their numbers. I’m fucking fine with it. I’m okay with him watching porn and I even GAME with the dude. No la joking, I obviously OUTGAME him LOL (seriously, what kind of mage attacks at close range tsk this moron). I may be tardy and untidy and occasionally prone to violent outbursts and rage babies but fuck la am I not fucking awesome?
Perhaps I’m too fucking tolerant; too nice to the point where you think I’ll always be okay with the bullshit you pull. Today, I travelled to fucking JURONG to meet this toad after spending the whole fucking day juggling freelance + mailing parcels + checking payments + 7 meetups + travelling down to fucking town to meet a client + meeting the client which took slightly more than an hour. Please note that I AM IN TOWN, whilst this fucking toad is in JURONG, but he didn’t want to come to town, so he asked me to GO TO JURONG SO WE CAN CAB HOME TO SENGKANG TOGETHER. Logic for the motherfucking win. You want me to go down to a further destination so that we can take an EVEN longer (and not to mention, pricier) cab ride home together. I agree to do so, because I love this stupid toad and my love for him obviously makes me weak and stupid. So I travel to Jurong, became thoroughly ashamed of being a Singaporean after meeting a very racist auntie (whom I was very tempted to punch in the throat), and by this time my battery stands at an amazing 3%. I call him, he says he’s drinking with work mates, will be there by 10.45pm.
Fine. I am tolerant and benevolent and I still have 2% battery to listen to music for the next 18 minutes. It’s an acceptable proposal so I do just that. 10.45pm comes and goes. 10.55pm and still nothing. My battery promptly dies so I ambush a lady standing nearby and call the tardy prick.
“WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!“, I say in my head. I remember that I’m in the presence of a woman who looks like she might wilt away if I swear, so I gently ask where the fucking fuck he is (but without the swearwords. Yes I am passive aggressive as fuck), he says he’s still drinking and he will be there in 15 minutes. I return the phone and seethe quietly. I also grow several beards as 11.10pm flips me off as it walks on by.
By now it’s 11.20pm and I have lost all my patience. There is no one nearby for me to ambush, so I walk around trying to find a public phone which is almost impossible because public phones are almost extinct. I manage to find one anyway because I am awesome. I call him up and he tells me, “WRU I’VE BEEN LOOKING AROUND FOR YOU AND CAN’T FIND YOU!” which I find implausible because a) I was just there like 3 fucking minutes ago and I didn’t see his stupid fucking face anywhere and b) I am angry as fuck so whatever he says is untrue and impertinent to the fact that I AM ANGRY AS FUCK.
I seethe even more. My head feels like it’s about to explode from how pissed off I am. I backtrack and find him about 30 meters away from the taxi stand, staring up into the sky because he is somewhere between tipsy and drunk. My head explodes from sheer angst.
Okay fine, it obviously did no such thing, but I was seriously beyond fucking pissed. I haven’t been this pissed off at him in such a fucking long time. I almost punched him the fucking face. My time is precious. If my laptop still had juice, I could have done some work and not be this pissed. But hello!? NO FUCKING PHONE NOR LAPTOP AND ALL I COULD DO WAS SIT THERE FOR NEARLY AN HOUR BECAUSE YOU WERE FUCKING DRINKING. Fucking inconsiderate. Just because I’m always so fucking good to you, doesn’t mean you can treat me like fuck. I’m not your fucking dog k. I’m not just going to wait patiently wagging my fucking tail while you finish doing your unimportant crap (ie DRINKING). Angry as fuck seriously.
When the cab got to his place, I told him to just go home and sleep it off whilst I went to my own house. He had the fucking nerve to get pissed off at me for not staying over. He fucking slammed the taxi door shut!?!?!?!?! i almost get out of the cab to punch him but once again I am passive aggressive so I just kill him 5 times in my head.
Tomorrow when he’s out of his fucking drunken stupor and calls to apologize, he’s going to get so much shit from me that his asshole is going turn bright green with jealousy. Pfffftttt okay rant over, going to sleep now that I’ve vented, ttyl.
P.S – The beards that I have grown whilst waiting are magnificent and metaphorical. I shall now leave you with the mental image of me with multiple beards. See how you sleep tonight HAHAHAHAHAHAH KTHXBAI
ASOS sent me the wrong necklace, which was a happy accident cause’ I’d been eyeing this anyway but thought it was too pricey for a necklace ($38 wtf). White rope necklace was $19.90 from New Look.
That said, the flea was a horrendous failure, suffice to say I have no intention of joining any event by the same organizer anymore lol. On a happier note, watches will be released online tomorrow, mailers will be sent out in the morning. More work to be done, today I photoshopped so much my brain automatically gives a little sob whenever I look at the little blue icon on my dock. Hmkay ttyl brb.
Work’s catching up with me much too fast. Why does it feel like there are only 2 hours a day? To makes matters worse, today I couldn’t even leave my bed for a few hours (despite having a shitload of work to do) because my womb felt like it was basically trying to punch it’s way out of my body. WHY MUST GIRLS HAVE CRAMPS WHY?!?! Urgh cranky as balls ttyl
Itacho Sushi
Jcube, #02-15
2 Jurong East Central 1
Singapore 609731
Tel: 6684 4083
Had an excellent meal at Jcube with the boy yesterday. First time here, so we ordered a little bit of everything. One of the things that stood out was the Roasted Kagoshima Wagyu Beef Sushi ($6.80/ea) in the very first picture. Lightly seared but mostly raw, it was tender and just super tasty. Boyfriend especially liked the Roasted Squid Leg Sushi ($2.80/ea) cause’ it’s texture very closely resembled that of sweet prawn sashimi. Really good! Actually, almost everything was damn good la seriously HAHA we’ll definitely come back again. Total came up to $80.85 for the both of us, but that’s cause we basically ate our way through their menu lol. Worth a try for sure :D!
On a completely unrelated side note, restocking + adding new designs for the flea this Saturday at 3 Jalan Kledek, 5 – 10pm !!! :D !
NEW! Tiny in Cream :D
Restocked: Savvy in Gold.
And finally, I managed to find high quality watch frames of the right size to house these beauties. So freakin’ happy I CAN’T EVEN oOAISDJAOISJDOAISJD T_T !!!! Petites are 2.3cm in width while these are 3.3cm across in diameter inclusive of watch frame (: ! We’ll be selling these exclusively at the Chic Fashionista flea this coming Saturday at 3 Jalan Kledek, check out their poster below:
I can’t say much about the poster, but there are A LOT of well known brands that’ll be there :D! Hope to see y’all there ^_^ ! If you can’t make it for the flea, we’ll be stocking some of the petites at our Jcube Miyoc (#04-14) shelf tomorrow (: ! Whatever remains unsold after the flea will be sold online (: ! Else, join our facebook ‘Like&Share’ contest here to win one of your very own (: !
Okay that is all, up to my eyeballs in work ): TTYL
This is why i’m sunburnt beyond all common sense. 6 odd hours in the blazing sun with the very lovely Lynette and Lydia (who lovingly styled each look). It was then followed by a super sudden torrential downpour. It was like drizzle > drizzle > drizzle > THUNDER > LIGHTNING > MONSOON SEASON > FUCKING TSUNAMI in under 5 minutes?!?! We managed to hitch a ride in a buggy yet still got completely soaked through. Freezed our butts off but it was truly plenty of fun ^^
Special thanks to Kith Cafe for letting us make a huge mess of your cafe without a single complaint. Try out their Soya Pork Belly ciabatta dish ($20 i think). Porkbelly with super crispy skin smothered with sauce, topped with two fried eggs and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. Yum. Both model and stylist were late (AHEM) so I just basically lazed about on Kith’s comfy sofa seat, drinking in the serenity of the quiet pier. Felt like the perfect lazy Sunday .. on a Monday. Fabulous.
On a side note, THESE LENSES ARE THE BOMB, ARE THEY NOT?! The images are so crisp T_T! Just your basic Nikon 50mm f1.8 lenses, but oh the wonders this little baby does.
Part 2 of the shoot happens in 58 minutes which I’m about to be terribly late for lol OK BRB
P.S – Show some love by liking our Foundry & Co facebook page. Giveaway coming your way soon ;)
Ripe avocados. They look so ugly but taste divine. I halve them, scoop out the flesh and make smoothies when time permits.
Char Siew Baos from Canton Paradise. These have a crunchy crust on them which I really quite like!
Ah poop I’m running late will update this part later
Hmkay so we went to Jurong Bird park. Fed birds, stood really near them and very nearly died from fear. Oh and a bird sat on my head (I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING). On a happier note, I didn’t get crapped on YAY! It was, however, constantly raining (lightly) though. Which meant my boots were soaked through (OKAY I KNOW I KNOW why did i wear boots to bird park wtf brain), giving me an excuse to buy a cute pair of striped slippers YAY!
Nommed at Jang Shou, then met Cindy afterwards for drinks. So much gossip and mental images i may never erase from my mental retinas T_T THANKS AH CINDY! It was a well spent day off from the crazy amount of work I have yet to finish zz.
Finally bought my 50mm lenses for a shoot on Monday and as it is Tuesday as I type this, can I just say that I am painfully sunburnt as FUCK. Also I wore a tank top so I have fucking black arms and a super white torso. You may now call me Yoko Oreo Yeap. GOD DAMN IT LOL next time I really have to consider the horrendous sun for future shoots.
Complaints aside, the shoot went swimmingly and these lenses are KILLING IT. So fucking awesome, why didn’t I get them earlier?! Pfft okay shoot pics tomorrow or the day after la we’ll see heh. Okay ttyl 10000 errands to run today.
Ice cream sandwiches that were about to be crushed in order to make ice cream shakes. Which sucked horrendously LOL I WILL NEVER BUY THESE AGAIN. They tasted so weird and carboard-like T_T.
Peanut Thick Toast from Toast Box which I completely adore. Soft bread with crisp crusts thoroughly smothered with creamy peanut butter. Ace.
Good haul from Diva’s sale (YES AGAIN. I AM SUPER). Chunky beads on a cloth necklace, and this cute little stretch bracelet. I’m pretty much over bangles now; they’re so clunky and make such a racket when they knock into each other. Stretch bracelets are the way of the future and/or the way of the lazy-auntie-dresser, however you choose to see it la LOL.
On one last note, some awesome Casios I’ll be bringing in for the coming week (or the week after next, depending on how much I procrastinate lol).
On a completely unrelated side note, I’m taking some time off from work to go to Jurong Bird Park tomorrow. In case you’re a new reader, I’ve had the top of my head clawed by a crow and been shat on by birds aprox 7 times. Yes, 7. The birds are obviously out to get me. My friends are BEYOND excited to watch birds crap all over me; I’ve half a mind to wear a poncho there tomorrow T_T. HALP I AM DAMN SCARED T_T.
Aiya okay gonna try to finish my work to free up some time tomorrow so ttyl!
Thank you ALL for the amazing response to the launch on Monday (: ! It was a lot bigger than I anticipated and for that I am truly grateful. One of my favourite prints is the map of Japan (last picture). I managed to sneak my name in actually HAHAHA can you spot the tiny ‘Yokohama’ in it ;P ? This probably brings narcism to a new level TROLLOLOLOLOL.
Okay watches aside, I don’t know if it’s the horrendous weather or something but lately I’ve been feeling .. under the weather. LOL. It’s horrible; almost like a perpetual headache that refuses to go away zzzzzzzzz. Hmkay back to freelance now ttyllllll
