What’s for lunch today folks? This is what I made y’day.
earl grey + ham/bacon/egg/cheese triple decker sandwich + spinach/mushrooms/eggs + a lone sausage
I scheduled this post for today and as you’re reading this, I should be somewhere in Chek Jawa in Pulau Ubin, climbing on coastal rocks and something something. Well I’ve never been there so I don’t really know what I’m talking about. What I do know is that I’m very eager to finish a few rolls of film and share the experience and sights with you peeps!!
G’weekend monsters!

Happy mother’s day to moms-a-doodles out there! My family went to PS Cafe at Harding for dinner tonight because my brother’s working (he’s a sou chef there!) and my folks haven’t been there yet so it just works out perfectly. We seriously overate, I feel like a rollypolly right now. Here’s most of the food we ate! I’m pathetic at being descriptive about how food tastes, if it’s good, I polish the entire plate and burp “awesome”. So I’m just gonna list the actual descriptions I got off their website and maybe you can imagine how it’d taste.
One of the starter specials – littleneck clams with spicy chorizo – steamed with roma tomatoes, italian parsley & white wine. My mom and I loved this!
Poutine!
My mom’s main: Crispy skin barramundi – spicy potato croquette, braised fennel, seasonal roasted vegetables & lemon caper beurre blanc
My dad, sis and I had burgers, the PS Burger – grilled wagyu & us chuck patty topped with camembert cheese, wilted spinach, bacon, tomato & caramelized onion on toasted sesame bun. SO GOOD SO BIG.
Monster brownie for my lil sis and my dad, mom and I shared the ginger steamed pudding with earl grey creme anglaise. Delish, if like me, you don’t enjoy sweet desserts and chocolate cakes.
I have two loads of clean laundry to fold and put away but I’m so lazy! Help.

Howdy, I feel like I keep saying this over and over – I haven’t been posting as much as I’d like to. But there’s this need to say it I guess, because it’s true. I had high hopes of photographing my friends and I rollerblading over the weekend. I even bought overpriced film at Ion (a shopping mall in town) cos my trusty film shop wasn’t open on a Saturday, I don’t know why. Yeeeah but the sun had gone down by the time we got around to rollerblading. Huuuge bummer.
Anyway I’m gonna try to be better about posting this week! For starters, I made pasta for dinner tonight and I managed to plate it pretty neatly so what the heck, I snapped a shot.
Linguine with grilled veggies and chunks of sausages
Morning birds are chirping; gotta head to bed.
Good day one and all!

Hello hello. I’ve been trying really hard to keep up with this daily routine I got going for myself. I love how it’s lent some structure to my daily life and sleeping patterns. I don’t know why I never tied down these details earlier but it can never be too late now can it?
But this week has been a little busier than usual and that’s the curve ball I’m facing. It’s so easy to let things slide and make excuses for myself, it can be so frustrating. Well, tomorrow’s a new day!
So I don’t know how and why I came up with this idea to photograph what I ate today in the exact same position. My feeble attempt to reflect routine but instead shows repetition… or it could very well be my conscience sending me reminders. Wow I’m actually slurring in my head, I should go to bed, enjoy my abstract photos and thoughts to go along with!

Yesterday I;
started the day real early with some dim sum at Red Star
went down town after many weeks -yikes- and came home with this pencil eraser from muji and new bras! not exactly sexy to share but it’s been a tough hunt so I’m super pleased.
ended the day with a full load of processed food – instant noods, canned bamboo shoots (I LOVE!), fried tofu, some honeydew and iced green tea
a mad thunderstorm woke me at about 2AM, couldn’t sleep after and so I had eggs on toast with warm milo
completed a different style of the twiggy things I’ve been making, sending this out to someone
And I also finished watching BBC’s Long Way Down, a documentary of Ewan McGregor and his buddy, Charley Boorman’s motorcycle adventure from Scotland to Cape Town, Africa. The first one’s Long Way Round (London to New York City) and I have to get my hands on that one next. It was beautiful to watch, the sights in Africa especially Ethiopia, Kenya and Malawi are nothing I imagined the continent to be. I wonder if I’ll ever make it out there some day. I highly recommend watching it if you like a sense of adventure and feeling emo!
What’s everyone been up to? I’ve been catching up on sleep and feeling like I have small small eyes every waking hour.
