Huhuhuhuhhh!

Since Bee has to work and other friends are busy, I don’t have anyone to go with, to wherever I want to go. That hasn’t stopped me before anyway… To be honest, I like solitude. I like going solo sometimes. It means I have full control of my time, I don’t have to consider another person when it comes to decisions etc….

I first went to Vivo to have my favorite chicken rice. I have two types I like, the first one I already mentioned, the Salad Chicken Rice in Seng Huat Bugis and the second one is this Chicken Rice from Banquet. This two types are very different but equally good.

I love their chili. So fresh. With every spoonful of this chicken rice you’re in heaven hahaha! Yeah that’s how I feel. After finishing this plate, I feel full and more importantly, contented. Not many dishes gives me that contented feeling, so Chicken Rice is special to me, also because I always ate this when we were still living in the east with a Banquet just across the road….

Reminiscing Time…….

I decided to visit again the places and foods that became close to my heart. Ok emo mode here…. hehehhe…..

I’m the type of person that gets attached to things, places and foods. I associate them to a certain point or time in my life. See i’m the type who remembers when and where I ate this certain food, for example, my favorite kwek kwek (the orange balls photo) with the best vinegar served with cucumber, I ate that in Alabang with Bee when I was still working and living there. That was between Oct 2006 to May 2007. I’m THAT sure. So, by seeing a certain place I used to often pass by at or eating a certain dish I used to eat often at that point in time, it’s like i’m back there. That’s my way of reminiscing.

Kwek-Kwek (To kwek or not to kwek….)

So I decided to go back to where we used to live. Somewhere in the east. Just look at the place again and it’s like i’m back in time. I rode the same bus I used to take everyday. Passed by Esplanade again. This is part of my view everyday.

Near Suntec? And Mandarin?

Even though it’s pretty close to where I lived, I remember it was a 15-20 minute commute to Raffles Place, because buses here are pretty slow.

In Raffles Place bus stop, where I always wait for the bus going back home.

So I arrived in the old place in the east.

I like living in that area because it’s so convenient. Lots of buses passing by there so yes, convenient. We were even able to do some biking going to east coast park at night because of some space on the side.

Where we live now it’s not possible or i’ll look like a macho femme. It was always “alive”. . And I associate that apartment to a briefly found freedom I had in there. I don’t know. I felt so free then. Just living alone, just by myself. I’ll eat whenever I want to eat, I’ll clean my room whenever I want to clean up. Just peaceful when I’m inside my big, comfy room. Yeah that’s a big part of it hahaha!

After that, I did a little walking near the old place. Just there in the area for a few minutes.

Tanjong Rhu Pao

My favorite Char Siew Pao place. It’s like Pinoy’s siopao asado, it’s sweet. I think it’s just the same, but this one, smaller and the white bread(?) sooo soft.

It’s located in Geylang.

This is close to my heart, kahit na medyo masungit ang uncle na nagtitinda ehhhehhe….

And this is how it looks when I order them.

I take away a box with 10 pcs of yummy char siew pao @ SGD 0.60 each…. Lovett!

Since it was already 1900H then, I decided to head home with my sentimental self’s nostalgia factor resolved.

(Hahahha! I dont know what you call that feeling, that relieved feeling.)

Have a good day……..

Hyperactive this past few days.

I need to be out of the house! I need to see people, and places and FOOD!

So again, Bee and I headed to my best friend… the MRT. I mean it’s so convenient, I don’t mind having to stand up sometimes. I love the MRT system here.

Though I have to admit, I still have to “consult” this from time to time….

So B and I decided to watch a movie… Since I have a certain “privilege” from UOB, we chose The Grand Cathay… (I still want to save some dollars hehehhe…. Have a specific movie in mind but then if something better is showing then sure, whatever seems better.

Jalan, Jalan….

If you have lived or atleast been to Singapore you’ll know that you will have to do a lot of walking in here. For example, you can only alight in the bus stop. You can scream your lungs out telling the driver to stop and he won’t stop hehehhe…. So you have to walk to where EXACTLY you’re going….. Unlike in Manila… Oh you know what I mean fellow Pinoys….

I lose a couple of lbs whenever i’m here i’m telling you….. I think that’s a good thing… Niceyfemme needs some exercise… Chabelita na ako eh…..

So from Dhouby Ghaut Interchange (MRT) we have to walk to the cinema house….

Discovery of Video (Mode) Camera

My relationship with my digicam has been counting a couple of years now but since a digicam falls under the “techie stuff” category I know nothing much about it. So I only know how to point and shoot in Auto mode. Fortunately, I got to talk to the person who sold the camera to me… I call him Canon (LOL!) and it’s alright with him… It’s a lambing term so he doesn’t get upset every time I ask him about camera settings stuff…. So I discovered the video mode which I appreciate so much now! It’s more alive hehehe!

See i’m not interested with another newer version of this camera coz what’s the use if I don’t even know how to maximize its use?

So I ask B to be the “camera guy”… Have a problem though, I’m camera shy. He has to insists on shooting while people look at us and I’m busy blushing. Whenever I’m embarrassed, I laugh. (You’ll see that in the video..)
So we record ourselves while walking under the heat of the sun…

Btw, Bee’s teasing me… He’s always like that… When I’m embarrassed, he’s happy….

So we chose Surrogates… Here we were, paying for the tickets… I love how you can “relive” what already happened just by watching its video… lovett!

We were early for the next showing time, like we had to wait for 80 minutes… So went to Plaza Singapura… On the way there, we passed by a This Fashion outlet (it’s an affordable ready-to-wear boutique) with a Sale of up to 80% off! Of course who could resist that? I’m saving so we went inside with only the intention of looking around their stuff… I ended up liking a dress, original price is SGD36.00 I bought at around SGD5.50, a brown bolero at SGD24.00 bought at SGD4+, and a yellow blouse (which I also have worn as of this writing to Sentosa) at I think SGD30.00 around SGD5+. All three at 80% off! Hahahaha! I was so happy, we only paid around SGD16.00! What a bargain… I ended up using the bolero in the movie house but that’s getting ahead of the story….

I got so amused with most of the stuff there time ran fast we had no time left for dinner…

I think it was my first time in the Grand Cathay… The cinema house is so nice! Grand it is… It’s now my favorite… I love the curtains, sound was nice, sooo cold! eye lovett! I wanted to take photos of the cinema house but I was scared that they might think i’m a movie “pirate”….. heheheh…

So we chose Surrogates starring Bruce Willis… A month ago I believe I saw it’s trailer and it seems like a good movie… I like the story and the graphics…

His surrogate just looks weird, like a Ken. Human’s laziest state if ever that happens in the future… I believe.

Nice, right?

The movie is fine…. Just not as great as I expected…. Still a good watch though….

I munched down two packets of cashew nuts and coke… yummy! It was so cold there I had to use the newly bought bolero….

It was already around 2130H when we finished the movie…. So I was….

Hungry!!!

No matter how hungry I am, I still can’t easily decide on what to eat… Like with everything, I always weigh my options… Like in this video….

Bee has been so so nice, extra nice…. Extra patient with my fickle minded, hyperactive self these days… And I appreciate all these mind you…

At the end of the day, my feet were hurting, my back was sore from cold, and I was HAPPY….

(They’re not transvestites… This is done for fun!)

I like Wally, he’s funny like my favorite Bitoy….

I love the accent! hahahahah! And Paolo’s so pretty! He’s just gorgeous if she’s a girl…..

Can’t stop giggling…..

NICEYFEMME gets bored easily.

Since it’s his rest day yesterday, I persuaded him to agree with everything I want… heheheh… As in, go out with no plans of where to go or what to do.. That’s how I want to live life, as long as it’s still possible. So off we went….. Headed to MRT station….

(warning: if you’re onion skinned, better not watch the video… cheers!)

 
(pardon B’s narrative way of talking, we’re both new to this, and our “argument” this is how we really are)

Decided to head to Bugis as I miss my favorite chicken rice stall there… (Which reminds me, I should have a food blog).

Best (Salad) Chicken Rice Award

Rice = perfection. Taste is how it should be.
Veggies = fresh.
Chicken = perfection. Thick, juicy, yummy.
Chili = perfection. Fresh. You can taste the ginger, garlic and chili in it. lovett!
Should I share where this stall is? It’s in Seng Huat, Bugis.

Full tummy, ready to roam…..

After this we went to Bugis Street itself, main purpose is to just look around… I’m trying to save some moolah….. haha! Saw this cute “thing” near the juice stands. Dont know what to call this. But really cute!!!!

Hahahah! So landi! (So flirty!) the fruit mascot i mean

“B, where are you?” -niceyfemme

My apologies to this ang moh who I unintentionally blinded with my camera flash…… *sorry!*

lots of people….

crispy pancake! yum yum!

It’s just so hot in there, so humid… But the vibe is good… I love the colors! Ohh Also bought my favorite bread at SGD2.00…. yummy!

Since it is (still?) Mooncake Festival, they have this in front of OG (Mall). Pretty cute.
While heading to MRT going back, I saw this and took the shot!

It’s Mickey Mouse!

Finished with Bugis, Off to Vivo!

Basically we are the type of people who enjoy seeing things as they happen…. Watching people walk, watching people eat (discreetly! oh that’s just me…) watching life in general…

Went there to pay some bills and do some window shopping…. I like looking at designs and then plan to have that made for me in even more special materials…. Like this….

I almost gave in to my desire and bought it…. But I thought about it like 9 times then decided to walk away from it… It’s alright coz I bought one that’s even nicer hahaha! And at 56% off! What a bargain! I love bargains…..

We are so tired from all the walking and all so decided to cap the day off with buying my favorite Carrot Cake (Chai Tow Kway) in Kopi Tiam in Basement II… On the way there, another temptation stopped me…. THIS..

kalorky talaga!

While heading to then bus stop we saw this….. Thought it to be so nice… I have a thing for fountains…. Brings back childhood memories….

It was so nice. Nice. Nice.

Super miss na kita…. ingat ka… love you…..

sige kantahan na inggit ako…..
