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!

I had a nice night hanging with Sarah and my boyfriend. Always good to see her face.
So on my way home, at the junction of the traffic light, I saw a teeny cat’s face peering out from inside a drain and it was the absolute most perfect shot in my head. Which never materialized of course, camera-was-in-the-bag-situation, pffft. Came home to find the whole clan of stray kitties hanging out altogether under the block, it’s been awhile since they were all one so I snapped a few of the matriarch, I call her Fei Fei.
She maybe hefty in size but hell, she chases (my cat, Indie) like a young one! I’ve grown to love her over the past few months. She’s such a sweetheart and she looks out for her fellow kitties like a giant mama. She deserves every awww you have to give. There was one morning where I told Ben that I wanted to move downstairs to be with the stray cats instead of living with my own cranky cats. For real, some days my cats just don’t give two shites about me!
P.S. Sarah, I also took Feifei’s picture to rival E’s cat! They could be two fat peas in a pod!

So pleased. With my new colander. I’ve been eyeing it for months and y’day, I saw it on super sale. Had to take it home with me! My brother got one for my mom too but hers is a grimy green (or “ahma” green as my brother coined it), hahaha!

I was working on some layout work for a publication this past week and tried to get inspiration and ideas from books we have around the house. Dug out this one that belongs to my boyfriend – Rock Faces by Oliver Craske – It’s a photo book of some of the greatest images of rock n roll legends. I scanned a handful and thought I’d share them with you guys. Some of these made me think of what the atmosphere was like, was there tension or was everyone playing it cool and if it makes sense that a rockstar can only be photographed by an equally rockstar, fearless photographer. They gotta be on the same level in some way right?
Now, less talk more photos, rock on m/ my friends, whatever you do.

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.
