5. 365days with Brandon

We had spend almost everyday together since the day we met each other and now we had our 1st Anniversary. Thank you for every my dear boy.. 

He came over and gave me cute flower because he said the duckling looks like me :/ 

Yellow dirty fellow..

Thereafter, we exchanged presents!

Actually he bought me a lot of presents especially the whole lot of Pandora but I bought him nothing ): 

Not my fault la hor.. because the bracelet I wanted to get for him from Bottega Veneta doesn't has the design in Singapore :/sad:/ Anyway.. I did him a flipbook! Omg super cute can.. It's my first attempt of doing a flipbook and I'm some out satisfied with the final product :D He wrote me a story book of our love story <3

We headed over to Lot 1 for our Brunch as both of us are really really hungry. 

Had Sakae Teppanyaki! 

Tada! 

We ordered side dishes as well, the chawamushi in the tappanyaki set is so yummy because it's in an onion! The onion sweetness was all inside the steamed egg! Oh my gosh, thinking of it makes me drool T.T

Headed over to Vivo straight after brunch and we have got really nothing to do at all so we went over to USS since we have the student pass! Was actually quite excited about it because I want to try taking the roller coaster with my maxi dress and see how's the "effect" and feel la! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? the ride was down ): Boohoo, so no more being a bimbo wearing wedges and dress to a theme park look by everyone anymore ): Le sigh... 

Dinner was at my dream place...

PRIVE CAFE

Located at 2 Keppel Vista 

Was so super excited about it because I heard so much from Brandon about how nice the food and environment was and I had seen so many photos of Prive's food and desserts! 

Ordered these...

Penne Alla Carbonara

This was the over-rated Carbonara. It was so creamy and my mouth was full of cream.. there's no garlic smell, no bacon smell, not salty just blend cream, I couldn't even put in any penne into my mouth after the 5th spoon. I had to asked for a change.. This was how bad it the pasta was.

Chicken Tikka Wrap 

I changed my pasta to a wrap and it was slightly better at least, my stomach has food in it.

There's avocado and mango in it with a very strong taste of spicy black pepper. If only the chicken isn't that dry I would have enjoyed it more.. 

Breaded Mushroom Mac & Cheese Bitez 

So blend, too blend, awfully blend. 

Simply Prive Burger

Boy asked for Mid-rare but it came over charred but the beef was okay la.. 

I had a mouth of it and he finished the whole thing so I awesome it was okay? 

Not all was bad there though.. 

The view was good, the service was good and drinks are even better. Brandon ordered Bailey's Irish Cream Milkshake for me and it was mama miya! So nice! Would recommend you to request for more Bailey though but overall was great! Wouldn't go back for the main course again I guess but would definitely do so for the drinks and maybe try their dessert the next time I'm back!  

Headed over to RWS for The Addams Family Musical show!

Can't wait can't wait because it was my favorite television show since young and it was nowhere to be found now! Therefore the moment I saw the poster in RWS some time back I was so excited! Brandon got the tickets like almost immediately!

The opening of the musical was so "addams" you know? Oh my, I almost teared when I heard their theme music being played live off-stage and when the full cast appeared behind the tall gates of the house..

Mortrica Addams (Keleen Snowgren) was so sexy and hot and her voice was absolutely beautiful and she pair of so well with. Gomez Addams (Jesse Sharp) who was the soul of the whole show! 

The highlight of the show for me was Wednesday Addams (Jennifer Fogarty) 

Her voice was amazing gorgeous that I was so mesmerize by her throughout the whole musical plus the story line was about her growing up and falling in love with a common guy name Lucas Beineke (not sure who was the cast who came for Sg musical). 

At the final part of the musical Lurch (should be Dan Olsen correct me if I'm wrong!) finally sing!

I bet everyone was waiting for him because throughout the who show he only "ahhh" "ohhh" in his deep voice and when he started singing everyone was like cheering so damn happily (encluding me)! Wulalal! What a great ending!

There was some small meet-and-greet of some cast.. So I saw one of the Ancestor, Puysley Addams, Lucas Beineke who was very very very handsome (yes I said that infront of Brandon) and Wednesday Addam was there for autograph and phototaking! Wedensday Addams was so god damn gorgeous like her voice and way much cheerful I couldn't stop looking at her! 

Didn't get a photo of her because the queue was rather long and so many tall people were infront of me. So sad fan girl just has to walk away from the crowd and left home ):

Some photos to end off this post :D

Not a fan of roses but don't you find this white rose so beautiful?

The gifts he got for me :D

Till then, 

Love, D

3 days back, my family actually booked a dinner at Vienna International Seafood buffet for my granpop birthday as most of the adults there likes to have buffet there but well for me, I like it because their food presentations are rather unique.. but otherwise, I find it okay, wouldn't spend the money to go with Brandon because I ain't a "raw" food kind of girl..

3. Nineteen's Bake

Hello all ~

Today I'll be blogging about what I have been busy baking in the shop.

Nineteen Niche has been opened since last year Sept.. will blog more about our shop!

So basically, we have all sorts of desserts etc, but because I'm not really into sweet stuff (I usually end my course/meal with something salty) so I actually suggested doing our own bread..

It was my third time, attempting to bake a bread and was happy to know that I was really close to the correct texture of an actual bread :D WAS SO HAPPY YOU KNOW?!!

Below are the steps.. of making my "creative" cinnamon roll bread!

Basically, you have to do the basic for kneading the bread and stuff and then you shape it to something long and rectangular. Make sure it's not too fat or flat else when you roll it it will be quite a tough job to do so. 

After that, spread the cinnamon (+sugar) powder on the dough  

and then, butter cubes (if you don't like it buttery, you can replace it with melted cheese) and raisins. 

ROLL

CUT (halfway through will do!)

Tada!

The "video" is up on my personal instagram! Do check them out!

Sorry I don't have the finish product of the bread because it was already very late and I woke up pretty early in the morning to help out in the shop therefore the lack of the finish product but it was a really nice finishing though! Might post it up on Instagram tmr! Stay tune!

Till then!

Love, D 

2. 21st Birthday

Was contemplating if I should be blogging about my 21st Birthday because it was like 7 months ago, and come to think of it, I wished I did not host that celebration because when I think about it back then, I teared a little, but at the same time, I'm glad my friends and family came just for me.

So, from the beginning everything was pretty messed up. Venue not picked, cake not ordered, photobooth not ready, no games, no entertainment planned even up till one month before my big day. In the end, I was the one who got everything ready for my birthday, well, "perks" of being "loved" by everyone. 

Venue was at my dream chalet - National Service Resort Country Club" located at the end of Changi and the day of my "party" was on a weekday (therefore I'm really glad they made it) so, all of them couldn't stay behind as they have school, intern etc to attend to next day. 

Way before my birthday, I went for a mini-photoshoot with Brandon (in lieu to our half-anniversary). Well, always wanted to have a photoshoot for my 21st birthday so I went to iSnap (details up on previous post!) and here are some of the nicer photo :D

Hahahs, hope the photos does do some talking to you readers..

Selected some of them for my birthday though, quite like the outcome of the photos. 

31st Jan 2013 was my 21st birthday and I was really busy that day because nobody came to help as they are all busy with schools etc etc.. Didn't have my photobooth done but I didn't really take much photos actually so it doesn't really matter.. Brandon, did a little "footstep" photo for decorations and it was really sweet of him (sometimes he can be sweet). Alright, shall let photos do the talking now! (not in order though)

Tada, that's me with my super adorable mickey birthday cake 

and my mini balloon decor that I did for myself! 

I have a matching gel nails too! it's up on my instagram :D

 Really grateful to have known this girl via Jasmin. Thank you for coming Deb Deb. <3 

 Thank god for my cousin, Hui Ling for running around last min to get me those table cloth, door gifts bag, and the "21st" candle that I'm holding on to. 

 and it's me again!
