i'm a girl who have stepped into the unknown called work and decided that schooling is better. i also have a propensity to go crazy over fried chicken wings and simply love to squeeze and over-feed my obese hamsters. my blog is a mode for expressing my love for food, movies, travel and shopping!

a day at city hall

yesterday was a great day :) had one last day of fun before school starts.

first, sis and i went shopping at raffles city and marina square. hit accessorize, mango, crocs and muji. had a wonderful harvest: 2 sweaters, 1 three-quarts, 2 pouches, 1 bag (love it!), a new pair of shoes and birthday pressies for my students.


so after lugging around my spoils, i decided we need to get off our feet and give my aching shoulder a rest. to recharge, we gorged on...


hot and spicy buffalo wings at billy bombers! 6 whole wings for only $13.90! can't fault billy bombers for their generous servings, even an appetiser has to be shared. the waitress was really considerate, she gave us a huge stack of napkins and wetwipes.

next, we walked around, collected our movie tickets and went to durty nelly's to wait for our parents for dinner.



the main reason why i chose durty nelly's was its steak out all-day weekend special! any steak (ribeye, sirloin, tenderloin or t-bone) with 2 side dishes and a choice of sauce for only $18 nett! how worth it! i was surfing marina square's website and came across this. then i checked hungrygowhere and people were raving about it, so our minds were made up.


mum, dad and i ordered the tenderloin. it was a huge chunk of meat, my favourite kind. the doneness was just right. my dad ordered medium rare and you could see the nice redness in the center.


sis ordered fish and chips, not so much of a carnivore. for dessert we had fried mars bar with ice cream. we told our dad to try it as he's a sweet tooth and you can hardly get sweeter than that.

we rushed for our movie later, the karate kid, and made it just in time, at the end of all the advertisements.


i didn't really want to watch the karate kid after reading the reviews on the newspaper. however, i'm glad my sis persuaded me. i have never watched the 1984 one, but jaden smith is such a natural. the movie is funny and heart-warming. also, you could sense the bond between smith and jackie chan. although the movie is 2.5 hours, you don't feel the duration at all. time passes when you're enjoying yourself!
