Yesterday dinner was at Herbivore located at Fortune Centre Level 1. Be it the location, the design or the atmosphere before I enter the restaurant, it was nothing special to me. I wasn't having high expectation to the food until I actually step into the restaurant and seeing the crowd inside.

The service was fast where we were served immediately upon standing outside of the restaurant. Menu was then presented to us immediately after we sat down and waitress gave us enough time before she came back to take our order. 

Drink was served almost immediately after we order and food follow right after, which was really efficient considering there were two other tables of 4 who came in together with us. 


 Cookies & Cream Milkshake :) I know i know it's fattening. :/
Sashimi (It looks really like one isn't it?) My first time ever eating "Sashimi", I never like eating cold and raw food.
 My soba ramen set. 
Soba Ramen with Yuba and Mushroom
Vegetable Tempura
Katsu Curry Set

The food was decent especially the Katsu Curry, I love the pork cutlet which was actually made of Taro. The taste and texture is really similar to real meat. The soba set was ok, I actually prefer the small bowl of Udon which was in the Special set we ordered. Becareful not to order too much if you are actually ordering the special set because it came with the tempura, the sashimi, a bowl of udon, a fish with sesame sauce, a plate of sushi and one other thing which I cannot remember. 

I also actually overheard the other table praising the olive fried rice profusely. (We were sitting in the middle of the restaurant with 8 tables which were then separated into 2.) I quickly gave a quick glance and it looks not bad with a big portion. Might try it on our next visit! :D




Overall I'll give the service 4.5 stars out go 5. The service was efficient and fast but they came out too fast that everything was cramped in the small table and we have to shift things here and there. 

Food would be 4/5 as some didn't taste really good in my opinion, like the soba which I didn't find anything special to it. I do really like the Katsu Curry and was really amazed with the taro "pork". Wasabi was really nice where my mum had to force herself to continue eating even though she was so full just to dip the wasabi.

No idea what to update on the blog recently. Time has been like this for the past few weeks. I did went for a long walk with mummy and her friends on National Day (9th August) where we actually walk from Macritchie Reservoir all the way down to Bukit Timah Road. That was quite something for me. My first 10km walk, not the road path but on the bumpy rocks in the forest. I really like that feeling, like I am breathing in the fresh air in the forest, enjoying my footsteps, not thinking anything much, separating myself from the busy world outside and just enjoying the scenery. :)




Wanted to join the walking trip today as well, but mum said that she was too tired so we ended up resting at home. I finally went back watching running man again, and finished 3 episodes right away, HAHAHA. I haven't been able to rot like this for quite a few weeks or maybe 1 or 2 months after my work start. Usually the weekends are packed with meeting up my friends, or even going to sister's friend shop, aunt shop to help out.

Shall relax myself a bit, for the sake of my brain and body to be healthy. ;D

I will update again tomorrow if I remember to. Tomorrow is my cousin's birthday and we will be going down to my auntie shop to celebrate again! (Oh well, I guess we will end up helping out. :/)

So Ciao, (my childcare student's father always say that to me ;D)

Hello for a quick update. :)

Today I went to help out at sissy's friend shop "Massive" at scape underground. The crowd was really slow in the early afternoon and I was so bored. But there weren't internet so I didn't want to use my iPad to blog. Luckily sissy downloaded some show so at least I was being entertained. Slowly the crowd start to build up even though it was still quite slow being it located in town area and it is a saturday afternoon. Might be because of the rainy weather. Time passed, well, quite fast. May be because I was watching the shows. Working there has also enlightened me that most Singaporeans do not smile or give eye contact to the shop keeper which I think caused shop keeper to be unfriendly? or is it vice-versa? I don't know, but I was feeling so annoyed when people just come in looking all arrogant, not looking at you, flipping the clothing as if they owe her big bucks, because you can at least give me an eye contact because I am not invisible you know ya, that is basic courtesy yo. (I need to control I know. :/)

I can proudly say this because I am a nice customer when I enter into the shop! Usually I smile to those sales attendants when they bother to look at me when I enter the shop. Unless you're those who are standing there faking ignorance about my existence then I will just leave the store because I feel that I am not welcome. LOL. We really need to improve the standard of service in Singapore or tourists will really get deterred by the lousy attitude when they come to shop!

So.. what do you do when you're bored? Camwhore of course! HAHA! :)

40th posts already! YAY! :D

Yesterday my beauty.com/drugstore.com parcel came on my bed(mum put on my bed) but I was home late so I had to force myself to sleep even though I was all over excited with my new hauls. HAHAHA! I definitely spent a lot as I have mentioned previously, like about $200+ going $300? *jaw drop*

Even that was really too much, but I am still very very happy with my haul! xD The very first that I love would be the Too Faced Boudoir Eyeshadows!! The very first Too Faced item that I own!

This is from Too Faced Boudoir Beauty 2013 Spring Collection. As you can see the color are mainly cool tones which are really suitable for spring time look. :) I bought this palette because I simply love the color combination it has. Like "Voulez-Vouz" a really pretty dark purple which I think would be great for a every day look to smokey eye. I also love "In The Buff" a matte cream shade which is perfect for highlighting inner corner, brow bone or even use as a highlighter on your nose bridge! :) (Love how it is matte in color!) Not to forget their casing which I think will be super durable! It is actually metal casing with magnetic clasp & it is smaller than the usual palettes which I think would be great for travel! :)


Next up would be the Bareminerals concealer! 


I got the shade medium which is perfect for my skin! :D Great choice Jocelyn! HAHAHAH! I bought this for my under eye which I read wasn't too bad for the eye. I have been looking for a cream base concealer as the previous concealers that I owned for my under eye are all liquid base. I tried it on the visible veins on my arms and it did cover really well! Which gave me a shock, because I didn't expect it to have such great coverage. Still, I have to try it on my under eye before I can comment on anything more. :D I'll update again! ^^

& of course, I had packed my makeup case and filled them up with my new haulllllsss! YAY. ;D

It really is going to overflow soon. Luckily I banned myself from getting anymore make up or skin care products other than the essence gel eyeliner which I will be getting after my maybelline one dry up. :) If you want to see more of my haul, view it through my instavideo here ! :)

I'll update soon tomorrow! PS: I'll be going down to sissy shop to help out so I will be really free. Let see what stupid things I will be doing tomorrow. xD

A quick post because Jeremy said I haven't post for long. HAHAHAH. I didn't know he actually stalked me on the blog! He also commented on how bad my english was! >:(

But oh well, I will forgive him because he was really nice today. Waited for me to end work and also pre-booked the wolverine's movie tickets that I was all over-excited with! YAY. Luckily he pre-booked because when we reached there, it was already sold out for the earlier timing. LOVE HIM! :) What else can I say to have such great boyfriend. :) (He must be super happy reading all this. HAHAHAH)

& I have to sleep now because he is also going to kill me. I have work tomorrow at 8am and iamsogoingtodie because iamstillnotasleepnow. Noooooo! Good night. 

Small randomness* Cute Huiqian got punished because she don't want to sleep. HAHAHHA. But well, we ended up patting her to sleep. LOL.

 I have always wanted a pair of heels like this. Have searched high and low for the perfect pair of heels at the correct price. I found few pairs before that but it was really expensive. :( So didn't get my hand on them. Then lovebonito.com launched this pair of heels and I immediately got a pair. :) Then theclosetlover.com also launched this super pretty gorgeous glass-heels-like pair of heels, so I couldn't resist and got another pair. :/ (Iknowicannotdothis,butwell.) This is really insane because I bought this other pair of flatforms from loveschues.com together with lovebonito one.

lovebonito.com
theclosetlover.com

loveschues.com

I totally adore these 3 pairs of heels a lot! :D Especially theclosetlover.com one. Even though I have not receive them yet because I was on the backorder list. :( I love the leather material and of course the glass detail on the heel part! Totally a dream pair and definitely going to match every single piece of clothing I have. (okay, most. HAHA) Hopefully it is not too tall/unstable as I don't usually wear heels.

Lovebonito.com one is also really a gorgeous pair. A perfect height for me, 3". :) But I think the strap in front is way too skinny for my big feet. :( Have to really adjust it properly to look good on my huge feet. But I think it will look super glamorous on girls with slim and smaller feet. :)

loveschues.com one is so stunning! The color is great and exactly true to the picture shown. I really like loveschues.com owner, Meiting because she is so ever friendly (and maybe because she is from TP too!)! I have purchased with them for more than a year already since 2012. I actually know loveschues.com through thetinselrack.com when they first started collaborating and I have been purchasing flats, sandals heels since then! I really like how loveschues.com have unique designs that they manufacture for themselves, unique color which is totally awesome and definitely sizes for people with bigger feet like me! Loveschues.com used to sell only platforms or sandals but they are growing better when they started selling heels and flatforms now! They also import many different and unique designs in to satisfy girls like me who prefer wearing something more unique than can be find everywhere.

 I also bought this floral romper from theclosetlover recently because I totally adore the color and prints! romper have been in trend for so so long and don't seem to get out of trend. I never really like to wear romper because most of them make my butt look big. This piece is really gorgeous be it the cutting or color. It also comes in sizes so you can find the perfect fit for you. :)

& the last piece I got was from runwaybandits.com Wasn't something that I am expecting from them be it the material or cutting but when worn, it looks fine. :) I like shopping at runway bandits because of their unique and in trend style of clothing available. Hopefully they can maintain a standard of quality in all their clothing so shopping with them would be happier! :D
