The most 'anticipated' moment arrived this afternoon when my friend, Eileen sent me a sms,
"Posting is out!! n u are going choa chu kang sec!!"
Haha.... hurried to my laptop and checked my posting. Yes, choa chu kang secondary. It was definitely a "shock" for me ( i mean, regardless of the school, i will still be in a state of shock haha).
It's mixed feelings.....i know that the chances of me being posted back to SPS is low but i also did not have any expectation of where they will post me too. Hence the "shock", i suppose.....In addition, it is accompanied by the worries/fears since i will be changing into a new environment. Starting to worry about my practicum 0_0
For someone who is residing in the east, i wonder how early do i have to get up and how long do i have to spend on travelling. Hopefully, i will be able to secure a flat soon so that when July comes, i will not have to travel that far.
I am so gonna miss my dear boys at SPS.......

The shop i will be blogging about today is "The Cheesecake Shop". It is located near to Siglap Centre, situated at the corner of the shophouses. Shown below are two pictures of the interior of the shop. It has been revamped and right now it exudes a very vintage feel~
As the name says, this shop is well-known for cheesecake! Being a cheesecake lover, i really love their cheesecake =D They offer a variety of flavours ranging from the usual blueberry, oreo to peanut butter and caramel cheesecake. Popped by during my birthday last year, come to think about it, been there twice for my last two birthdays haha....
Decided to order blueberry cheesecake instead of my usual oreo cheesecake (; i really love their rum n raisin cheesecake too!!
Their cheesecakes are really yummy!! Unlike some shop where their cheesecake may taste nice today but the next time you try it, it taste awful. Over here, their cheesecake's quality is definitely there! You can really taste the "freshness" of it. It always have a light weight taste that you won't feel overdose of cheesecake.
Another thing i will recommend to try is the coke float. Their vanilla ice cream is rich, creamy and smooth that compliments the coke (; What's more, i like their service and their boss! Their boss is always there and friendly too. Their waiter and waitress are also attentive and fast in their service. This shop only opens from 3pm and its always crowded at night. But if you have the time, do pop by at late afternoon before the crowd comes in. But finding carpark along the shophouses will be a difficult task. The nearest will be at Siglap shopping centre but you will have to walk abit. Nevertheless, it will be worth it! =)

Went to this place called "Hatched" for brunch like 1 or 2 months back. It is located at Evans road, which is just opposite NUS Law school at Bukit Timah Road. It is a cafe-like eating place located within the building shown in the picture.
As the name reflects, this place is known for having eggs cooked in various methods like frying, poaching etc.
Tried out their egg benedict which i thought was average =x I wonder if they added sour cream as i thought the egg white tasted abit sour. I dont like the bacon as it was quite "fatty". This is my first time having brunch in such cafe and i think some people may not like it as the serving was rather small?
Besides egg benedict, I have also ordered their grilled bananas pancake that was served with maple syrup. For a moment, i thought the white stuff on the pancakes were flour "-_- it was icing sugar haha......I am not really a fan of pancake but i felt the pancake was yummy =) It was soft and fluffy. However, disappointment set in as i ate til the middle. It was uncooked with some wet batter. Thought the chef could have taken note of that or maybe it was supposed to be like this? No idea, nor did i check with the staff.
Personally, I felt the food was average and it was over hyped-up. But for those of you who are interested to try out at this place, perhaps you can google to check what are their recommended dishes before popping by (;

Hi people,
it's been a long time since i blogged! Just to share with you something that i attempted to do weeks back. After learning the technique of applique, i went to buy materials and try out! =)
The first 'prototype' that is super amateur looking haha.....used the remaining napkin from my lesson and bought coasters as well as mod-podge from 'artfriend'.
Bought a stack of coasters but only used one =x painted both side with mod-podge first.
Decided to put a little beetle on the back of the coaster, so that it adds abit of fun to it =)
The front! Pasted a piece of yellow construction paper as background. If you have noticed, some of the blue background of the napkin has turned yellow =( This is because the background color was too dark. If you want to avoid such thing from happening, you can paint the area on the coaster where you will stick the napkin white. This helps to avoid "discoloration"
The rest of the coasters have been stored, will find time and do if i manage to find nice napkin!

Had a 3 hours break during last week due to GESL. Popped by library to do the proposal and went to the "hotspot cafe" found in NIE library with lilian. Ordered a mocha and surprised to see heart shape on it, cute isn't it? The bread on the left is from japan and is soft and yummy!! It comes in a few flavours too such as cheese, chocolate, maple......I like cheese compared to chocolate, will try other flavours next time. Meanwhile, do try it too! (;
