Out exploring Tiong Bahru once again, with May this time!!!
Walked into the inner dwellings of Tiong Bahru, much to MY delight haha. May's first time to Tiong Bahru but she did the planning on places to go to.

First stop was of course to refuel our bellies at Tiong Bahru Food Market. Fav place.

Had Roasted Duck RIce while May had Boneless Hainanese Chicken Rice. No pix for you coz I was too hungry heh. Maybe in instagram if you're followingggg @firstconcubine. I don't instagram like crazy, but I do when I can.


Ju kueh!
Didn't really like it when I was young. But somehow, as you grow older, you enjoy eating food you didn't used to. And I think this is one of them. Not my favourites, but I don't mind eating it any time. Btw, Ju Kueh, is written as "Water" kueh in chinese. Just some Food For Thought haha.



TEH HEH!


Mini exhibition there on "Young Hawkers"



1. Down the escalator
2. Flea & Trees


Favourite Yong tao fu stall with the father in the mornings when I had school, which transforms into a Western food outlet by night. Notti notti.


Then, Out to explore with May!





Visited a quaint bookstore which sold a lottt of vintage stuff.

I was ok-impressed by it. Somehow, it felt like it was trying a lil too hard to appear indie and vintage and stuff.
Nevertheless, we spent about an hour just browsing through the books and items up for sale.
I just wish the books weren't that expensive, I'd have bought them. But I like how it supports local authors coz I see a lot of Singaporean published books. thumbs up on that.

We then dropped by Forty Hands, a cafe. I can't tell you how much I love cafes even though I don't drink coffee or anything that tastes close to it. (I do love inhaling coffee smells that waft throughout  a cafe tho haha.. feels therapeutic) I enjoy talking to a friend about everythingggg for hours on end at a cafe. And today, it was with May! We sat inside all snug and warm while it poured heavily outside and chatted till the cafe closed at 7pm!



Outside Forty Hands, while it was still raining.

Thanks May, I REALLY enjoyed today's mini-adventure and chat in the cafe. Lovin it and can never get sick of it. This part of Tiong Bahru will always be special to me\\ May's one of those friends whom I rarely meet. Sometimes only twice or thrice a year, but we never feel a stranger to one another. And talk like 6 months were nothing in between, if you get what I mean haha. Thankful to have such a friend by my side. Coz it's hard to be close to someone despite not meeting them for months on end. Much like a long-distance r/s but not quite one either! Something we talked about. I shall see you when I see you! Maybe again before I fly. But if today is the last day, till then, the next time I see you/ Like it's always been between the both of us : )


Next up, Star Vista with The Usual SUSpects


We had Ramen! That's the only thing we ever eat when we meet up. It's always Jap Ramen. NOTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!
This is black base soup ramen. Pretty gelat. But Ramen is always good.
Damn bloody full afterthat, dunno if it was the lunch I had earlier on at Tiong Bahru, or black base soup is just freakin filling.






Chou xin nian chou xin nian~ Those are the words and lyrics I seem to be hearing every time that song plays.
Anyway, it was just a short meet-up so I could see their beautiful faces before I fly haha. Study hard at school you guys.

And back.

Seeing Suxin and Ruilin for Korean BBQ tmr or technically today since it's almost 2am! As well as Kahwhai at Cityhall in the evening~ Wooohoo! Going away on exchange has really allowed me to catch up with most, or even ALL of my friends. Blessed. Should I add "xoxo" behind? Nahhh that's pretty gay.
