Donuts & Football; Hi-tea & Tau Huay

Thursday

In between BGS class & my TWC meeting, Tanu, Elvin & I adjourned to WA.
The new cafe/bar at the gorgeous Singapore National Museum.
Due to Elvin's PMS & Tanu's (SIS-induced) depression,
we decided to head to somewhere nice to chill out.
WA is a nice quiet place for chi-chi tai-tais to hang out,
Because the prices are on the steeper side (unfortunately...)

My grilled veggies sandwich.
It was "gourmet" enough.
I didnt like the bread though,
Cos it didnt taste much like Foccacia.
The ingredients were fresh.
The combination was delightful.
Except that I had the olive oil dressing dripping everywhere.

Tanu's Chocolate Brownie Milkshake.
Something like that.
She enjoyed it tremendously. Hurhur.
I think it cures depression.

The Elvin's New York Cheesecake.
We were playing detective,
trying to identify the black spots in the cake.
Its mould! Or dust? Grounded coffeebeans? Vanilla beans!?
The Elvin announced that it was poppyseeds.
Well, I hope it's right.
I wished the biscuit crust was drier & crispier.
I like the complementary taste of orange marmalade in it.
Otherwise, its nothing much to crow about.

After my TWC meeting, I hung around to wait for Elvin to finish so that we can go makan abit. It was the end of my school week, well sort of... Plus, I couldnt get a longbang home, so I might as well stay out later to beat the thaipusam crowd at Selegie road.

OH, School of Accountancy has been hijacked by the School of Law! Like OMG, we are gonna be called SOAL??? I can't believe it. Dont these privileged law kids get their own building!?!?! Haha, by the way, I just noticed that my angst is reflected in the picture above.

Well, Elvin & I had some chicken rice,
next went over to the Rochor Tau Huay!
We had to go to the back of the shop,
Which looked like a scene out of a gangster film.
Nice graffiti & posters though.
Check them out (above)!
So... while we were eating & laughing our heads off,
this 2 men came over & started to serenade us with Ronan Keating's
"When you say nothing at all"
On of them said," Just nice for lovers!"
Elvin & I were like hahaha. No, not lovers. Friends.
So cute lahhhh.

Wednesday

The infamous donuts from the Donut Factory (at Rafflescity)!

My favourite : Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter!
Well, it was very light & fluffy.
A tad too sweet for my liking.
Bonus points for the mind boggling range of exotic flavours!
Minus points for the crazy queue-time.
But these donuts are photogenic alright.
100% credit to Huiting who queued for a whopping 2 hours.
Talk to her if you wanna know what are the things you can do during a 2h long queue.
Queuing 101. (Hur hur)

Here is a pretty picture of the Singapore skyline at 6+pm,
Taken from the National Stadium's grandstand staircase.

The most dramatic moment during the SG V THAI Finals.
Thai boycott of the penalty.
Both sides played pretty crappily.
I dont know if S'pore deserved the penalty,
Or whether we deserved to win...
But better we win, than them right? (Hur hur)
The childish behaviour was really ridiculous though.
Waste of my time.
I could have had a better time at the ASEAN ROCKS gig at hardrockcafe with Nicole.

This is to show the crowd's unhappiness with the delay.
Contrary to news reports of "at least 10 mins",
It was really at least 20 minutes.
Everyone was booing & screaming & yelling stuff like "Bo toh!"
OH well... I guess Asean football still has a long way to go...
