BRUNCH @ PARK!


CAB VS BUS/TRAINS
Before I start talking about my brunch on Saturday, let me just talk a little about cabbing and taking bus.
Daniel and my good friends around me know that I'm someone who's super reliant on cabs. I'm super lazy to wait for buses and go through that long journey unless it's an express bus so I always end up cabbing. What's worse is that I always call for cab which costs another $2.30-$3.30 which is SUPER unnecessary. There are so many other charges like peak hour charge, midnight charge, airport charge, and CBD charge! Recently, I've started writing down my expenses in my organizer and realised I spend a lot on cabs. It's like I just gotta top up a bit more and I can pay monthly instalment for a cheap car already. 

I'm sure many of you out there face this same "problem" as me - cabbing unnecessarily.
One typical cab ride for me from Jurong to town would cost about $15, and to school would be around $9. If I take a bus to school it would be only $1.50? And to town $2. The difference is $8-$13 per ride. If I bus to town and bus back home, I can save $26 a day WHICH IS A LOT considering I cab almost every day. All this only hit me this month when I sat down to calculate all my expenses and money I can actually put into my savings or better use instead. Getting up earlier, leaving your house earlier to take a bus/train to your destination really can save you quite a lot of money which you can put to better use like a short getaway! So from now on, I'm gonna try my best to take bus/trains when there's no need to cab! And so, yesterday I took a bus to HV to meet Jiayi! #successful

Truffle fries!!!!









We had brunch at this new pop-up cafe in Holland Village called Park! The concept is pretty cool. Truffle fries were very cheap and pretty nice but the caramelized banana pancakes were a bit too sweet for my liking. Will definitely go there to try other dishes again!

Oreo's birthday / Day out with cousins!

Last week was Oreo's 3rd birthday (big 21 in human years). We didn't really throw a big dog party for him as intended except my sister brought him out to a cafe with other dog friends. So anyhows, we decided to bring him out again one day after his birthday with my cousins!



My sweetheart. Never ever imagined a dog would have brought so much joy and comfort in my life. Indeed my best friend, and like a little brother to me. 







Coincidentally wore black flappy hats with Hillary haha




We went to a cafe that's for humans and dogs so usually you'd see a lot of dogs there mingling and playing with each other! They serve dog's food too!

Their food is pretty good and very affordable too. Only problem's the location! :/ it's located in Serangoon and it's super far away from my place which is in the west. If it was nearer, I'd definitely bring Oreo there all the time to chill.

This is Oreo on his actual birthday! So cuteeeeeee!




Happy birthday again Oreo! You will always be my little special one <3

Brunch with Daniel!

Daniel and I haven't had a proper good day out for quite awhile already and I've been wanting to try this restaurant called "Canopy" for very long already!










Lol, the worn to death sponsored leather jacket from weluvmeow long time ago!


Alfresco dining! Kinda like the concept of it being smacked in the middle of a park aligned with a spa and bar. Very nice place to chill but it's better to go at night cos it's very hot in the day.

Canopy garden dining
1382 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1  569931
6556 1533

It's located in Bishan park 2!






Chilled the whole day and he accompanied me through the night cos I wasn't feeling very well :') 
TQ!!!

Anyways, Skin Inc just threw in 50% off for all my readers for facial treatments so read my previous post here to find out how!
