JB one day tour

It's weekend again, felt boring and wanted to do something different this weekend. Wanted a stay cation but know hubby wouldn't agreed as we need to save money for holiday trip. Ahhhh when will my next holiday trip be? hehehe actually end June lah...not too far yet I'm dying for it.

So can't go far and cannot be expensive right? OK! Let's go JB! It's has been quite awhile we haven't went to JB, hubby has been nagging wanting to go. But I am just too lazy when I think of those queuing at custom and long hours of traveling. But hubby told me that he found quite a few interesting cafe at JB...so oh well ok let's go! It's a last minute and impromptu trip, I only told him Thursday night to go JB on Sat. hahaha

We wake up at 7am on this Saturday and it was raining heavily. The rain didn't even stopped us, we took a bus to woodland bus interchange. Our whole process from sin --> jb wasn't too bad reach City square around 10.15am. Went to purchase our movie tickets straight:

Ho ho ho jin happy weekend tickets for 2 pax for X-men!

After we purchased our tickets we went for our breakfast at Faculty of caffeine which is located just opposite city square mall. They having a major road restructuring so it's kind of messy behind city square. But luckily still managed to find the cafe...

Of cause not to forget to instagam what we had at F.O.C. A breakfast to share and 2 coffee cost not more than S$17! So worth it! If in Sin this will have cost us $25++

After the light breakfast we went back to city square for my 1st round of shopping. Just as we stepped into city square we were attracted by the mac donald ice cream bell sound and got ourselves the latest Lychee ice cream! This is heaven! Hubby thinks that the lychee flavour wasn't strong enough but I felt it's just nice! Hopefully it will come to Sin. I like this.

While enjoying my ice cream we went shopping loh, 1st stop Daiso at JB hahaha the outlet looks big in the photos I saw online but in actual it's kind of quite small leh. So didn't get much, only a few items. Each item only cost us S$1.80 due to the exchange rate.

We then watched our X-men at 12.30pm and finished around 3pm. Have our afternoon coffee break.
Miyakori coffee located at city square mall, cafe looks cute with this bear icon. Ordered Sakura latte and their cotton cheese cake RM$27.40 not cheap yo. Didn't taste that great. Can give it a miss actually. :P

We plan to have a early dinner so that we can go home earlier. So we finished off our shopping and had our early dinner around 5.30pm. Going JB is really all about eating, eating and more eating...hahaha I miss the Korean BBQ so here we are going back again for BBQ. :D

After dinner, of cause not to forget to purchase the usual food we will buy back home. AND OF CAUSE my favourite Xu Lau Shan! Yummy Yummy!

That's not just all....the swiss roll cake is also the must to buy home as breakfast for Sunday!
From new blog
Hahaha as you can see almost everything we got is food! Can't help it! And that's not all I brought home...haha

As you can see from below picture I think I am consider a small case... I saw many Singaporean brought lots of the sakura wet tissue from watson...hahaha I only gotten 2 lemonglass and 1 sakura ones. Hubby laughed at me for buying wet tissue but hey you didn't see the others whole basket is wet tissue....LOL Furthermore this time round I didn't buy any shoes from Vivi and didn't buy any clothes too. Only food and things I need. :D

Well it was a enjoying one day at JB thanks to the high exchange rates. Hubby mentioned it is so worth the 1hour queuing at the custom. As we did so much things and brought so much things and the best of all we didn't make a big hole to his pocket. hahaha Whole day expenses proudly sponsored by hubby of cause...haha Thank you hubby!

A career or a job?

This question has been in my mind for awhile. Reason being I have been working for the new job for close to 3mths. Confirmation is coming....

When I was in my precious job neebie will worried that they dont get the confirmation after 3mths. I'll always tell them not to worried as the company usually will just confirm you so long you want this job and so long your performance is not too bad. Even when I was servicing my probation last time I wasnt worried at all for the confirmation as I was in damn good relationship with the bosses. Hahaha we are even still friends now.

Many people tell me even in my new job now that I wouldn't have the problem of not getting the confirmation. Hummmm not sure if its a good thing or not. I sometimes will lack of confidence and think that my performance is not up to their expectation or I think did I do the extra miles? But now I got another thinking suddenly....should I take the confirmation? Well I have the 2nd choice to decide if I want this job now. Then I ask myself is this really what I want and how long I can serve this company. I must say so far most of the time I feels happy working there but I tend to think how far can I grow here?

So this question came about: Is this a career for me or just a job? I felt I'm treating it as just a job so far and I'm not sure if its a good sign. I asked my close friends they all said they all just want a simple job not a career.... hummmmmm I'm still not sure.

Eve of Vesak

Well this year Vesak day fall on the Saturday, many people will gets a off day on Monday if I am still in Taka I'll still gets a day off any of the day that week. But my current work place only gets a half day off on the eve which is the Friday.

Since I only gets the half day of cause I must enjoy myself to the max right? So happened that taka sales started Thurs I decided to head down to Orchard for afternoon break and shopping!

Pompompurin cafe opened quite awhile and I wanted to go but knowing it will be super long queue I didn't wanna meet the crowd on weekend. So here's the chance! Friday afternoon should be alright bah? I reached Somerset around 2.30pm and went right straight to the cafe, but there was a queue line! Luckily wasn't very long but I still waited close to half an hour before I can get a table for 1 person! There wasn't a lot of people in the cafe but the service is kind of slow, seems like they didn't have enough service staff to clear table and serve food that's why the long queue.

My kawaii afternoon coffee break! Pancake & Ice latte. Waited almost another half an hour for my food as well.

After I finished my food it's already close to 4pm, spend 1.5hrs at the cafe. Faint.

Since at Orchard of cause I must pay a visit to my ex company lah! Support support the sales right? LOL Went to the basement and walk one round then saw 5MM. Had a short chit chat then I went shoes dept. Mistake ah! Don't go there I wouldn't buy anything liao... haiz anyway in the end the damage is made. 2 pairs of Melissa! Well I'm happy de loh.

As I shop around I saw quite a few ex-colleagues, happy to see those ex-colleagues that I love! Feel so happy to see them again after I have resigned close to 4 months. Can't wait for their next sales! I didn't really looked forward to taka sales when I was working there as it means more work and more OT. Haha now it's a totally different feeling. 

It's a well spend Friday afternoon! Happy! :)

Latest new hobby

I wanted to pick up a hobby, so I decided to do watercolor painting. Went for a workshop with Twins earlier at Natalie Studio. Recently Natalie did an offer for the weekend retreat session, so I went with Grace last Saturday.

Before the workshop I quickly did revision at home and painted the floral wreath. My artwork practice at home:
