Beautiful Sunset

31.05.2010. Due to the fact that I'm left with less than a week's time before I enlist, it was time to celebrate BFF's Kimberly's 20th birthday first, since I will not be able to make on her birthday. So like how we celebrated BFF's Daphne's birthday, it was a 2D1N Stayover again.

We met up at Orchard first to go for the Aussie University Fair! After heading there for the 2nd time, I'm much more determined to head over to Australia to further my education right after my NS. Hopefully, by then money wouldn't be an issue! *prays hard* Well, got lots to discuss about it with my parents first though. After an hour or two of looking at the various universities, and Kimberly's application, we took a cab down to the restaurant that I've been having cravings for, Ju Shin Jung! Yup, today was "My Food Recommendations Day", since they haven't been there before, and following the Korean wave, we just have to make a date to this superb Korean BBQ! Yes, I've been there more than once, but who can resist BBQ Pork Belly, Kimchi and lots of K-pop music? I know I can't resist!

In case any of you are wondering, Ju Shin Jung has an outlet at East Coast Park as well, so you don't necessarily have to head to the one at Joo Chiat, which is the one we went to. It's located right at Katong Junction, a street away from Katong Mall.

Yup, like what it states on the menu. West: I think it's Pasir Panjang or somewhere there. East: East Coast Park. And Katong: The one we're at!

We were famished! All of us skipped breakfast just for this meal, although we did have my favourite YAMI Yogurt when we were at Orchard. Luckily, the side dishes came quite quickly and we were able to start off our meal first! *slurps*

Looking at it again just makes me salivate all over again! I say this everytime I see photos of the food!

PORK BELLY IS DELICIOUS! AND YES, I ATE ALOT!

Apart from just eating it plainly, adding many pieces of it to a piece of vegetable makes it even tastier!

*yum yum*

Look! Meat lovers scream and shout now! *screams*

I'm enjoying it, but what's with Kimberly's face? Or is that an orgasmic face?

Raw meat hurry and become cooked! I'm waiting to eat all of you!!!!

WOOT! They're done, and I did eat most of the meat. BFFs felt full eventually. Obviously, since Daphne ate 2 big bowls of rice along with pieces of meat, and Kimberly ate so many vegetables and drank 2 bowls of cold soup. It's a wonder they can still stuff food into their stomach!

Love the tea!!!

I'm waiting for the meat to be cooked so they can all be stuffed into my mouth. I'm a HUGE FAN OF KOREAN BBQ!!!! Who wants to head there again sometime?

A hungry man is an angry man! Despite having quite a lot of meat, I still wasn't very happy. So, I ordered more pork belly!!!!

There, now I'm happier! Stuff me with meat please!

After I could stuff no more, dessert came! Although it was just a heart-shaped sliced of watermelon and a cup of ginger tea, I think it's the best kind of dessert after a very meaty meal! Yes, I'm still very impressed with this place!

Very happy after this meal! Another meat eating meal soon please!

Yes, I have a very "interesting" BFF who likes to play games like that. And we weren't even told of it, our expressions were just like that when she was taking the photo. I can even think of the captions for the photo. Mine would be, "Must we leave? I want more meat please! It's playing Korean music, don't leave please!"

Hers would be, "I'm so full I feel so sleepy. I miss my boyfriend!" Yup, totally a random thought.

Group pic!

After that, we decided to head for some exercise before heading to our dessert shop! And of course, being the BFFs that we are, our exercise would obviously be KARAOKE! So we walked to the nearby Teo Heng, but the rooms were all full. So we had to think of an alternative, at Katong the other best thing to do is to play LAN! Cheap rates to play LAN games are available at alot of various shops around the area. So we decided to head into one of it and play some games!

Played for more than 2hours and we finally had some room for desserts, so off we went to my new favourite hangout, The Cheesecake Cafe! I also had the cravings for the cakes there! Took a bus there, and once again the service staffs were very welcoming!

Oh a reminder, if you want to have seats inside the cafe rather than sitting at the alfresco area, it's best if you call and make a reservation beforehand.

This time, they had a weekly special that isn't on their menu, the chocolate orange cheesecake. So we ordered one of it, and their peach jelly, rum and raisin cheesecake and my personal fave, chocolate banana cake!

So called "celebration" for the birthday girl!

Group pic!

We spent roughly 3hours just sitting there chatting. It's really very comfortable, since seats are separated quite far apart and the jazz music played makes one very much at home. And the cakes, very very delicious! We finished all of it within a half hour.

Time to camwhore!

The cafe has lots of various statues and lots of mirrors. Awesome place to do some camwhoring!

Sofa with cushions! LOVES!

Mirrors are everywhere! We can't resist not taking a photo!

I love this place! It's perfect! Everything is great there! Especially the staff! <3

Finally finishing at roughly 1130pm, we took buses back home. Showered, and played monopoly cards till 3+am before presenting our gift to Kimberly.

Spend 2 days doing this! I swear I'm not going to do any handmade gifts anymore. Takes too much of my time! But glad she loved it! The folding of the hearts was very very tiring! Happy that the final product looked so nice!

Group pic before all of us finally fall asleep!

HAPPY ADVANCED BIRTHDAY TO YOU GIRL! =D

Due to the following day being a Monday, and Kimberly can't apply for leave at her company. She had to wake up early to head for work, but that doesn't affect me and Daphne at all. We slept through till 1pm before finally waking up. Had lunch, watched videos before finally showering and heading to meet her to watch the show we want to watch the most!

Sex and the City 2!!! I was super duper happy when I saw that its M18 instead of R21! The first movie was super happening and was super funny as well! This one wasn't a letdown either! 2 and a half hours, but no parts of the show made me want to fall asleep. It was soooo interesting and hilarious that you won't even know that time passed! I personally recommend it to all members of O.C.K. and Frenz! You guys will definitely love this show!!! Confirm and chop!

Ratings: 9.5/10

Comments: Super nice, MUST WATCH!!!!

Miss Those Days...

Even though my internship days has ended for more than 3 months now, I'm still proud to say that I've still been keeping contact with my colleagues from Five Stars Tours Tampines. Headed out for desserts one fine night, my colleague said there's a shop that serves superb cheesecake, so we met up roughly around 10pm for some late night dessert.

This is one dessert shop that I personally recommend, although I don't really like the taste of cheese and milk. It's located near Siglap Centre and it has one of the best atmosphere for one to chill out and take a break, have a chat with friends over a cuppa coffee!

It's The Cheesecake Cafe! The interior of the cafe was really magnificent! Just makes one very relaxed. After sitting down, you wouldn't want to leave for hours, I can assure you that!

While waiting for the others to arrive, what more can we do apart from taking photos at such a cool place. Oh and one reminder, this cafe doesn't allow you to take photos of the cafe itself. While we were all in awed of this place, we took out our cameras and decided to take a photo or two of the place, but the waiter walked up to us and said that photos of the shop isn't allowed unless a party of the group is in it. How cool is that?! Although I don't know what's the difference of taking the place with or without a person in it. But what do I know?

My only fellow intern at the same branch of the company.

Everyone arrived, and we took more photos while waiting for our orders.

Anyways, we actually met up to celebrate one of our colleagues birthday, so a reservation of 12cakes was made beforehand, because their cakes are really awesome and would normally sell out before 10pm.

A mix of various slices of cake.

They have really really special types of cheesecakes that you can't find at other cafes, and they taste mad awesome. Even a non-cheesecake lover like me, love the taste of it! The cheese isn't too overbearing, and together with the various flavours, makes the entire cake damn nice! They do also serve non-cheese cakes as well, I personally recommend the Chocolate Banana Cake! DAMN CHOCOLATEY AND NICE! Oh, and their service was really great, maybe because the place isn't too big, the service is kinda personalize. They actually come to your table after some time to see if you need any assistance or just to do some refilling of your drinks. Super in love with the place!

Group picture to end off! Go and have desserts there, trust me, DAMN NICE!
