It's been a while since I took eating breakfast seriously. A long long while. Because most of the time I just sleep all the way until afternoon. So when a friend asked me out for a breakfast date, I decided to give it a chance. Woke up amazingly early at around 8am and headed off to The Plain Cafe, situated at 50 Craig Road, Tanjong Pagar. A very short walk from Outram Park station will bring you to the Melbourne-styled cafe along a quiet street. (About 5 minutes walk from Tanjong Pagar or Outram Park station.) The cafe offers simple breakfast food like toasts, eggs and sandwiches. (There are also tarts and cakes if you're lucky enough.)
Walking into the cafe, we were immediately greeted by the friendly staffs. The whole place is simply but well furnished. My friend and I especially love the grey concrete walls.
My friend ordered a Dean's Breakfast ($6 for half, $10.20 for full) with a latte, and I got myself a Darling's Eggs ($6.50 for half, $11.50 for full) with a hot chocolate. And of course, we went for the full sets. The food was alright although I didn't really like the poached eggs plus it's not very filling.
Dean's Breakfast.
Darling's Eggs.
Overall, the cafe's ambient was really comfortable and it will be nice to visit it for breakfast during one of the lazy weekend mornings. What else can be better than enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, having a warm cup of hot chocolate and catching up with your friends? P/S: You get to gossip too! Haha.
Listen to this Harry Potter theme song while you read the rest of this entry.
Caught Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 tonight and I must say I had goosebumps throughout the film. It's almost 10 years since the first HP film came out. Can you believe it's ending now? I think most people my age grew up with Harry Potter. Harry aka Daniel Radcliffe used to be a cute boy but looks horrible now, Ron aka Rupert Grint used to be short and has grown so much taller now and Hermoine aka Emma Watson, OMG she became so pretty!!! So it finally all ended with Part 2 of the Deathly Hallows. It kinda feels like the end to my childhood. Lol, drama much? I guess everyone is growing up and it's time to let go of our childhood. Oh well, anyway not gonna write any spoilers here but my favourite scene of the movie has got to be the part where Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith) and the rest stood by and protected the Hogwarts castle. And when the stone statues became alive and guarded the castle, OMG T_T goosebumps moment. That entire sceneis seriously epic to the max I don't mind watching the whole movie again just for it lor!
And here's the awesome score to the epic scene. MUST LISTEN. Can you feel it? Can you feel the epicness?!
Anyway, I caught the movie in 3D and I think the cinemas here finally changed to better 3D glasses! (The old ones are damn chunky and disgusting. Wear already will have headache one!) And they gave me this "wet tissue-ish" wipe to clean the 3D glasses. The packet looks like those McDonald's seaweed shaker pack or like condom lor! Hahaha. Yes, that's a picture of me looking retarded wearing the 3D glasses. Now laugh.
Went for dinner after the movie. Since everywhere is closing at 930pm (Can you believe shops here close so early?! Where's the night life man!), I had Thai Express which opens till lateR.

By the way, here are some random pictures of Brenda and my shoes.
Met up with the designkidz to go to Singapore Polytechnic DCMD hive's TGIV event for a talk about social media by Pat Law of GOODSTUPH. All the drama aside, kinda learnt some new things about social media. It was interesting when she said that when she woke up every morning, the first thing she does is to login to facebook, check + reply her twitter and read the headlines off her rss feeds reader. I turned to my friend and we both laughed as we think it was freaking true! Because that is what most of us are doing ourselves every morning! Social media has slowly taken over our daily lives without us even noticing. It is becoming a part of our lives, something like a daily routine I guess. Rather than reading the newspaper, people nowadays learn about news through social media sources like facebook and twitter because it is so damn convenient and so much faster. Gone are the days when you sat down by the table and read the morning papers while drinking a cup of hot coffee. So hive was still the same, talked to Ms Huei, David and Shirlynn. Awkwardly, the juniors there were all people that we do not know. Yea, that was a tell-tale sign that we are getting older. (Can you believe I graduated almost 2 years ago?! O_O)
However, the main purpose to meet up (at least for me,) was to catch up with the designkidz! It has been a while since such a big group of us met up. It was all fun catching up with them and talking about all the bullshit and whatnot, it almost felt like the good o' days back when we were still in school. Le sigh.
Went to Ah Chew Deserts after dinner because it is our all time favourite desert shop! Love its watermelon sago with vanilla ice-cream. Must try!
(First photo grabbed from flickr.com lol)
Very delicious looking right? Lol. Edited it using this iPhone app called Mei Tu Xiu Xiu (美图秀秀)
I totally love her to the max!!! And it bothers me quite a lot that I am not able to go watch her live when she comes to Singapore on the 2nd of August. :(
I just had the most irritating dream ever. In the dream I was trying to take photos but the stupid camera JUST WON'T AUTOFOCUS!!! Somemore in the dream I so blur I don't even remember to manual focus. I was damn annoyed. Keep pressing the shutter button but cannot autofocus! OMGFML! Then because of that, I missed out a lot of awesome photo moments lor. Tsk.
But then I was shooting Agyness Deyn and Luke Worrall in the dream. So that sorta compensated the fact that the camera sucked big time.
If you haven't heard already, Priscilla Ahn is coming to Singapore!!! And she's like one of my favourite singer/songwriter of ALL TIME! She writes her own music and lyrics and they're damn good. But she's super underrated I don't know why. :S She should be damn famous!!! Anyway she's gonna have a showcase here soon. I can't wait to go! :D My friend Brenda is excited too! Haha. (Let's just hope I'm on off that week. :/)
I was wondering if I could blog from my lousy old BlackBerry (bought for army). Turned out I actually can! So I guess this won't be the last you'll see of me. :)
So I caught Transformers: Dark of the Moon just now and I think it's pretty good. Not gonna spoil you all with the plot here but basically it has all the elements of a awesome movie that I love! Alien invasion, end of the world, outer-space, NASA conspiracies, you name it! See, so many genres in 1 movie! Super worth it right!? But besides that, the movie was pretty much the same
as the previous 2 movies of the series. Just a mass orgy of machines destroying each other. Must be a pain-in-the-ass for the CGI guy to make all of that.
I'd give it a 3.5/5 rating. I'm super lenient when rating movies because I'm easily pleased. LOL!
