Ok so here's my long overdue post on my long weekend spent with J before he left for Germany for his army training 2 weeks ago...



It was an advanced celebration for our 6th anniversary and he wanted it to be a surprise so he didn't tell me where we were going so i didn't have my camera with me..... :(



This was starters - Pigs and Snails.



My main - Back and Belly. I like my steak done medium well! A chunk of medium sirloin, super tender and oozing with juices. The onion hash on the side was delicious. And the bloody looking bowl of thing at the side is actually braised blackened brisket. Major love!!!



Jens's main - Steak as well....with giant prawn! He likes his steak well done and he's very fussy when it comes to steak but he was raving to me about this the entire time and wished it came in a slightly bigger portion.



I forgotten the name of this.. Confectionery something i think haha. A waiter saw J eating this and he came up and said something like: "No bro, you're supposed to pick up the strawberry with your fingers, dipped in the chocolate and feed her (me). It's a shared dessert. And you don't use fork for this!! Haha i'm sorry the waitress didn't tell you guys beforehand." so yeah LOL... I guess no brownie points for the waitress :/



And this... Ok i forgotten the name as well. Haha it wasn't too bad. Very chocolatey but quite gelat though...



Ugh wish i had my camera with me to capture the view in better quality!!!! But anyway i was really, really, really happy that night. Food were pretty good, except for the desserts which i think they were just ok~ Wish we had space in our tummy for their beer after all the food though

So the next day we got up and went for ramen. Never liked Ajisen Ramen. They are like MSG over-loaded maggi mee to me. But anyway after that... Jens went to see the doc and then told me he didn't have to go back to camp that night and on Monday so... ^_^

Went back to his place, helped him pack his luggage all and then just nua..... *warning selfies overloaded ahead*



I wanted to instagram a OOTD but after editing i couldn't decide which one to upload so i uploaded none.... #firstworldproblems hahahahaha

Then we went to FEP to have butter pork ribs rice!!!!!!! AHHH FAVOURITE.
I need to try the one at Commonwealth! Everyone's been telling me that it's even better the one at FEP.
But anyway since i'm in a good mood, i shall share. They sell tze char too though! :)

Then came Monday, which was our actual anniversary day!



We went to Marmalade Pantry for brunch...



Spaghetti cabonara with poached egg. Yum!



Scrambled eggs and house-cured salmon with horseradish creme fraiche on pumpernickel. Ok don't ask me what horseradish bla bla bla is but just know you probably wouldn't like it very much. The eggs and salmon are okay but the thing on the bottom just tasted SO weird. At least to me.



Then we went over to Big O Cafe for dessert at Paragon before heading back home. This above is heaven. Fluffy waffles with caramelized bananas topped with a scoop of chocolate ice cream! SO SINFUL but damn. It was really good.



And this macadamia nut cake with balley's Irish cream soaked biscuits, done on a bed of oreo cookie crust! Another plate of horror for the waistline but it's so yummy. But just a warning, don't geh kiang and be like us and order both because you can't finish them. Unless you are having them as your dinner. :)



Hehe so... i love you babe. No mushy mushy confessions here cause you know it already. 1 week more till you're home again AH i can't wait!!!!

Then he booked in at night and came out on Tuesday afternoon! We packed and packed and packed for his trip the next day and went to catch the movie "Saving General Yang" after, ah i love the show!!!! Please catch it while you can! 4/5 popcorns for it! After which we had supper at Sin Hoi Sai! It's one of our frequent supper spot!



The salted egg yolk prawn isn't good, i admit. But i've eaten there a few times now and the dishes they sell are generally not bad. I love how they open until the wee hours. And super near to i12 Katong which spells a-w-e-s-o-m-e after a late late midnight movie!

Then came Wednesday...... The day he will be leaving for a whole of 3 weeks. Packed and packed again and was fooling around when i saw this and made him wear it and make goofy faces hahahahaha



HAHA he is so gonna kill me when he sees this.



And his OOTD. Siao hor? I tell you he's damn vain!!! Kept asking me what tops/shoes/jacket/scarf to wear before heading to the airport. Don't know he go there holiday or training lor?


So yeah that's all. Just realised we actually eat a lot after doing this post hahahaha. Ah can't wait for him to be back next week! But that also means it's gonna be the start of my first paper. Gooodnessss i can't wait for my exams to be over. Oh and that means my 21st birthday is nearing!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED AND SCARED AT THE SAME TIME



Ok la abrupt end here i'm gonna rest my sprained ankle and sleep now :(
Goodnight guys, happy mid-week! X

So just yesterday i was browsing through my timeline and a friend, Acelyn posted this video. So being curious, i hit Play.....



...and now i just. can't. stop. putting. it. on. repeat.

Trust me i love the koreans. I love their country, their dressing, their cosmetics, their good skin, their food, their language, but i'm just never into k-pop but this, this song here is SO.

Sigh i can listen to it the whole day every day ~~~~~~~~

What is YOUR favourite kpop song?
Share with me on ask.fm/itsfranxcesca! Maybe if i get addicted to them i'll feature them here and share with everyone else too!

The Closet Lover

So last week, B from TCL sent me this really pretty dress...



I don't usually wear dresses THAT often but when i tried this on, i fell in love immediately. What i love about this is the mid-waist details! Like sexy but in a subtle way. Less is more guys, remember that.



And it looks really expensive... My sis saw me wearing it and she said "Eh nice leh why you order from asos never tell me??" Haha and when i told her its from TCL and it's their latest manufactured piece she was like....



Ok wait... she didn't exactly say that. If not i'll be doing a meme of her saying that haha. But she said something along that line and asked me to let her to try it on. There's 2 other colours, pink and green but we are both into blue right now so i guess sisters always have the same taste? :D



I think this is the puuurrrfect dress for dates. You wanna show off your feminine side while not trying too hard to be sexy at the same time. Ah and it's so flattering! I don't have an awesome, curvy figure so most dresses in this kinda cut will make me look like a stick but i'm so surprised this doesn't!!!!

Pretty dresses for everyone!
♥♥♥

Ah finding every single excuse to not study.....

I was sleeping earlier on and missed dinner so i woke up hungry but i don't want to munch on any thing so i decided to make juice!



I threw in an apple, orange, 1/2 carrot, a couple of grapes, 1/4 cup of water and some ice and TADAAA, this, is the best thing ever. It's like a smoothie, probably because of the ice, and it makes you super satisfied and full! I think it would be an awesome substitute for your coffee or milo in the morning!



A couple of weeks ago when i went for Jen's specialists graduation parade!



Dinner at Itacho Ion....again. We can never get bored of this place. I think we dine here once every two weeks? And if we aren't that picky or have more time during the week days together, i think we might end up here every week for dinner. They should give us the loyal membership card lor hahaha major love for their avocado sushi!!! Maybe i shall do a review/ share with y'all my must-order dishes over there the next time we go back? But that will be in May when Jens comes back from Germany sigh :(



This was like 4 in the morning. Tempted to get prata....



And then got upset when i gave in and order it. Can never be healthy la -_-



2 of my favourites from the latest Dressabelle collection! Love the dress above in creme too!



Super cute pouches i got from Kwerkee! You know i've always seen that website around when i visit Reebonz but i just never ever click on it..... Maybe cause the idea of hard to find, sometimes vintage, quirky, fun stuffs just don't reach out to me that much but that day i was bored on the way to town so i decided to check out what they sell and goodnessss i want everything!!!!!



Loveee this peplum top from Joifeth!



And this was my i-wanna-go-home-now-ugh face at 9am this morning at SGH. Slept at 4 the night before and had to get up at 7.... Which explains why i had a nap for way too long earlier on and missed dinner. :(


---

Spent the last 5 days with Jens, celebrating our anniversary and also trying to spend as much time together because he will be gone all the way till May. Oh wait, he already left. In Germany right now. So like..... i am supposed to be mugging after he left but all i've been doing is eat watch shows and play candy crush. How ah like thissssss hahahahaha

Will blog about the past 5 days soon! I also wanna attempt to blog about food like where i eat, what i ordered, what you should try etc etc since i'm always taking photos of food but never had the chance to post them!

Okie doks so till thennnn, TGIF and have a great weekend! ♥
