Meeting Partner & Melting At Christmas Wonderland

Sup guys.
Happy Boxing Day? (I don't even know what does it celebrate or the meaning behind it, neither do I celebrate it)
Finally I get to meet up with my partner after I was done with my event in Downtown East.
There was a Santarina and a Candy Gal Walking Table in D'Resort on 24th & 25th December.
It's pretty much just roving around the lobby and the courtyard.
We kop some of the candies too ;P



Saw this on the way to meet her. This way to love?
The both of us have been wanting to go to this eatery called MEET & MELT.
It sells toast with ice cream, ice cream waffles and ice cream.
The food they sell are very limited & their seats are few too.
There's like 2 tables of 2 indoors, the rest are placed outdoors. & when we entered the place, the owner's child occupied one table, so that's just left 1 table of 2.
Lucky for us, eh? Hahahhaa!
The both of us ordered Ferrero Rocher Toast because it was our objective coming to Meet & Melt.

The menu is plastered on the wall, different from the typical book or paper menu in cafes.
All (or most) of their fan's Instagram pics! I'm gonna upload mine in hoping it would appear here hehehe

The toast was baked in the perfect crisp-on-the-outside-and-soft-on-the-inside texture.
I'd give an A for the effort of decorating (see the Ferrero Rocher wrapper rose) the food.
There's also chocolate wafer stick and INSIDE THE WAFER STICK THERE'S PRETZ PIZZA STICK.
I think it was creative to do that :)
The sauce.. can't make do what is is. Partner said it was either honey or Gula Meleka but I thought it was caramel?
Either way, it was delicious.


I'm like the boyfriend who takes pictures of his girlfriend to show her off (I'm straight as a ruler).

Zoom in
Details
The chocolate wafer stick and Pretz
Well, for the first 6.5/9 'cube' of the toast.
It got too sweet and thick for me, I could not finish the whole thing.
I really love the toast but it too much for me. I bet Eve can finish the toast since she have a sweet tooth. I should bring her here one day.

Food: 6.5/9 Toast
Ambience: 2.5/5
Will I come again? Yup

How to go:
1. Take the MRT and alight at Tampines MRT Station
2. From the interchange, take bus 22
3. Alight at the 3rd stop - East View Pr Sch
4. Walk in the opposite direction of the road, (which means walk behind) and turn right
5. You should see Jun Yuan Primary School.
6. The cafe is just across the road.

& since we have some time left to spare, we decided to go to Christmas Wonderland in Gardens By The Bay.
Because we went on Christmas Eve, you can expect the crowd.
It's warm and squeezy.
Honestly we only took pictures, that's all. Well, she wanted to take the photo strip but there's a price and the queue turned us off.
When we decided to go back, the way to Bayfront MRT Station was full so we have to walk the long distance to MBS & take the train to Dhoby Ghaut to take a bus back.
What a day :D



There's a carnival too, where you buy tokens and use them to play.
So I told Partner that it's exactly what you'll see in K-drama where the lead actor & actress goes for a date, & the girl wants that plush toy so badly & then begs the guy to get it for her. Miraculously, the lead actor won the big prize and gave the toy to the girl.
So I was like, to Partner, 'OOOPPAAAAAA~~~~'
Obviously she hits me. 

I love this ride when I was a child!



Because I was sticky and hot
Best pic I took

It was a great day laughing and singing (mainly I was the one singing & then influencing her :D).

Class (very belated) X'mas outing + gift exchange

Hey guys! How is 2014 so far for you?
I hope it is a good start! If it isn't, don't worry, you're climbing up the mountain :D
Well, for me it is a good beginning! (except for the fact that I got a splitting headache, sore throat & block nose)
But that won't deter me from having fun!!
So yesterday (I'm sorry I came home after midnight :( ) I had my class outing! 3rd outing if I'm not wrong. I did post about the 1st but aren't sure about the 2nd.
Oh well. This outing was meant to be a Christmas outing with prezzie exchange but because Jan 3 was SUPPOSEDLY the date when EVERYONE can make it, however not everyone turned up.
Which was quite disappointing..
1 reason why SP is so cool is because they allow students to claim money for their class outing!
But only for food lah; with $10 per person.
We decided to hold the outing at Marina Barrage with a little picnic.
Trust me, the little is not so little.
With $10 per person & 21 people in the class, that makes $210 worth of (junk) food.

Many candids!
Jackie act cute sia.
That young woman is our teacher!
Isn't Karise's smile bright?
I dunno why I took an up-close of Junyuan.
The rest checking the food out!
Kevin and his trademark duck face.
Selfie in the train d:
Atiqah & Aishah!
Sadly we're parted from the majority in the train











In Cold Storage, we have gotten chips (like a lot of chips), 2 loaves of bread, cheese slices, can of tuna spread, sushi, biscuits, gummies, croissant, walnut cake & lot more food.
We walked for a long distance to our destination. 
Be it in the MRT station or outside.

MUST TAKE
The cutest couple in class; another Ernie & Bert.
Class photo! Photo credits to the Bangladeshi helping us to take!
"Hi!"
Finally, we reached the place!
Thank God that the weather was just fine! Not very sunny and it was windy!
Not very crowded too, we easily found a spot.

Setting up the mats!
Sam & Kevin
I'm glad there's enough mats!
Must act a bit
Just some kites.
Know why we are laughing? Because we were leaning on each other and we sorta domino each other xD
Caught a selfie
DEPM 06
Wanted to take the sunset as the backdrop but.. 
Oh & 1.5l of drinks & miscellaneous.
We filled up 4 baskets & Ms Liew came down to Cold Storage. Sadly she couldn't join us because it was too late.. She paid for the stuff & it amounted to around $145.
The boys bought 80 pieces of McNuggets with the remaining amount.
I had MacDonald's on New Year, pizza 2 days ago & now? God forbid me to eat healthily d:
Or is He trying to tell me to go back to my secondary school lifestyle? (Where I eat a lot because I needa gain weight but I can't & because I love food)

Anyway, we reached Marina Barrage in the evening, almost when the sun is setting.
We lay out the mats & placed the food & prezzies.
Damn, the breeze in Marina Barrage are never disappointing; it's never not windy for a minute.
Of course, this kind of event there will sure be photo snapping here & there.
Played Captain's Ball with a mini rugby ball. There was Frisbee but it was only touched for a while.
No one played my Uno too :(





Then out of nowhere, a monkey appeared!
Can't tell if it's playing or fighting with the common bird (the f*cking irritating bird who sometimes come into my kitchen & scavenge on the bin & shits on the floor).
I was both fascinated & terrified at the same time; fascinated as in wanna be friends with it because it was an intelligent creature, terrified because what if it attacked me.
It caught everyone's attention.



Soon after we played Blackjack.. Then I joined Karise & MM who were lying on the mat doing what it seems like fun.
I lied on the mat & what they were actually doing was taking photos with the torchlight.
It was amusing & hilarious!! Took photos of the nails with the torchlight giving the effects, our faces, hands, blah.
It was so funny!! My phone was blasting music so we sang too our hearts' out at every song.
At that point, that very point, I could feel my throat tearing.
My sore (dry) throat was at its critical state, but the girls just keep making me laugh.
My poor throat.



These photos I didn't collage them because it will be too small to see.
Ain't it nice??
Wait, there's more:

I like this too!
So HD
Nails with the watch: Karise
Red: Mine
Black glitter: MM
And then we moved on to games like the number game & Murderer.
Murderer was fun!! Really tricky & funny, which worsen my throat condition.
By the time we are in the train on the way home, my voice changed.
I felt pain every time I speak, I was at the brink of losing my voice my goodness.
4 words: IT WAS WORTH IT.
Wait no make it 5: IT WAS F*CKING WORTH IT.



A successful class outing. I am delighted that we had this made possible!! Hope to have more in future to get our class closer! :D
