#371 Supper Hop/Farewell for now

(another extremely overdue post)

the last event of the Social portfolio would be Supper Hop! this year, we made a trip to four places and they were Satay By The Bay, Swee Choon Dim Sum, Simpang Bedok and Rochor Beancurd.

i've never been to SBTB before and i thought that even though the satays were not bad, it's a little bit pricey and a better alternative would be good ol' Bedok 85 hehe.

stingray that a few of us shared! it's not really fantastic though.. i still love the Lau Pa Sat one that i had after fireworks on NDP hehe.

my freshies :) sigh it was a pity that none of the girls came :'<

next stop for the 50/51 bus was Swee Choon! :)

yum yum yum har kows and siew mais aplenty! ^^

XLBs!!

prawn and banana fritter nomz

first time trying this.. this is fried mee sua and i love it!! hehehe.

after this stop, i stopped taking photos.. haha everyone was in a state of food coma i think. swee choon really hit the spot for all of us and we were all super full after that hehe.

Simpang was a complicated affair as the pre orders were slow (despite being preorders) and everyone was feeling so stuffed!

Rochor Beancurd was.. i kind of forgot actually, cos i only shared a bowl with derek and i was in a food coma then hehe.

okay but anyways, along the way people went up to sing songs and it was all pretty fun :)

one of the group photos we took that day :)

with the last event down, i felt a sense of relief.. hehe cos it means that it is time to PANG KANG whoop!

supper hop happened on fri night till the wee hours of saturday.. and on sunday we met up for Derek's farewell lunch, before he flies off for exchange in Philly!

decided on Kenny Rogers for lunch and i had the creamy chicken pot pie! sorry for bad lighting for this photos, i edited a little for my insta photo but not this one :<

GROUP PHOTO!!

on monday night, looee came to pick us (raq cheryl me) from hall and we went home so that we could go to the airport in the morning to send Derek off! hehe. had breakfast with him and then he went off! gna miss his quirkiness and all the fun he brings to our group when he's not around for this semester :/

but of course i hope that he has tons of fun and comes back with exciting stories to share with us ^^

Bon Voyage, Derek!

#370 over

they say that love is blind.

I won't deny, that I would definitely need a long time to fully get over you and also to put everything past me. i'm glad that things ended well between us and that we are still friends :)

i know things in the future would definitely change between us as we get more involved in our own lives but for now i guess i'm just slowly letting things go.

(crap i lost the whole damn post and idk why.. this was typed about a week before but its gone now)

but yeah i've joined the singles club now (as put across by Raq) and it feels.. different from what i used to feel.

#369 overdue photos and memories

before school officially started (and after FOC), i met up with Mab a few times and on this particular day we made an impromptu trip to PasarBella!

good food and good company rocks ^^

we managed to hunt down some awesome foods! 

photo below shows a normal white paper cup. but it contains the most awesome drink ever! extremely thirst quenching and fresh PEAR JUICE. it's handmade, with no preservatives whatsoever and it tastes damn good! being cheapo us, we took at least 2 cups each because the aunty was so nice and let us finish the sample that she had :) there's another cup and that was something we bought hehe. iced passion mango tea, with a scoop of fresh mango sorbet!! this is so damn tasty too hehe i don't understand how can mango sorbet be so good yknow haha it tastes just like real mango, but even better cos its freezing cold ^^

2 of the best drinks i've ever tasted before

as for the types of food we had.. we shared 3 food items but i've omitted one of their photos because the photo wasn't nice plus the taste was just BLEH. 

anyway, we ordered one of the hotdogs (from Huber) but i forgot what it's called already :< it was good though hehe i loved it :) BBQ sauce was added by yours truly ok hehe.

we had the mushroom truffle pasta too!! it was my first time trying truffle, and the smell was really strong. the pasta is damn rich haha lucky we shared it, otherwise i would have been too stuffed!!

the foods above were all worth it, so if you ever make a trip down to PasarBella, please try them too! 

PasarBella is located at 200 Turf Club Road (Bukit Timah area)

shuttle bus services can be found at a few locations.. i took the bus from the stop outside Botanic Gardens MRT!

after PasarBella, we headed to TPY for desserts and we went to Creamier!! the waffles were damn good hehe but some of the flavors of ice cream i tried were sadly disappointing :( idk where my photo of ice cream waffles went to already sigh but it's on my Instagram (@alvinaaa_) if you haven't seen it before! it looks really heavenly hehe *slurps*

on the same week, i went to The Coastal Settlement for brunch!

photos speak for themselves! the food there was pretty good and the ambience was pleasant too hehe definitely worth a try and i would wna go back there again!

The Coastal Settlement

200 Netheravon Road

(relatively close to Changi Village)

still on the same week (last week of holidays), on National Day we had a block outing to Nook Pancakes and got featured on their FaceBook page!

Derek and I shared the rainbow pancakes which were pretty good! each color of the pancakes tasted different and when it all came together it was q tasty :P

i love block 50!

the next day at night, we went back to school to play this new game called Resistance which was similar to Polar Bear but with cards and slightly more high leveled.

i think we played till 6 in the morning and then slept till 12 before heading out for brunch!! it was really good food and good company hehe brunch was chicken porridge at Jurong West hawker centre. there was ALOT of chicken and yusheng as well and it only cost abt $6 per person for that whole bunch of food as seen below ^^

on week 2, we had our traditional supper to Ah Fang which happens every start of the year, and this year's turn out was awesome man. so many people came along!

Colour Run 2013 with Bao, Der and LX!

it was a memorable and i'm glad to have shared it with this bunch of people hehe :)

as my shoes gave way even before the run, i decided to get new kicks with the 25% discount off New Balance stuff! (form color run) got these pretty new kicks the day after the run hehe ^^

sorry about being so lazy and not updating my blog sigh i have no idea what's coming over me :( and for the slipshoddiness of this post cos i'm rushing! another post will be coming up soon! (hopefully) i've already uploaded the photos but haven't started typing anything into the post yet hehe.

hope that all of y'all have a good week ahead at school! :))
