cafe with a cause

been wanting to try the Joan Bowen cafe ever since I heard about it last year and I finally had the chance to today!

The Joan Bowen Cafe is actually a social enterprise that trains and hires youths with special needs, equipping them with culinary skills, giving them a place to make their mark in society :) it's situated in a little corner at Sennett Estate, a very cosy cafe.

they serve western fare with your usual fish n chips, pasta and desserts. I had the rosemary & lemon chicken while my friend had the aglio olio. they were pretty good and reasonably priced! service was very sincere too. would definitely head back there again! so near my house and I'm really for the idea behind this cafe :)

do check them out! to know more about the cafe, u can visit their website: www.joanbowen.com

Red in the kitchen (35/365)

When I have my place next time, I would definitely make red stand out in my kitchen and it can start with this pretty red cooking pot!!

Valentine Gift! (34/365)

Found this book when i was shopping at Popular bookstore today. Interestingly, this book is about using body language to increase your mating rating to finding a long-term partner. The book claimed to help you identify and correct the body language that could be letting you down.

This book also covers essential tips when looking for love:

Understanding the mating game

The art of flirting and courtship signals

Speed-dating, first dates, parties, internet dating and other suicide missions

For better or worse - the secrets of successful relationships

Interesting! And the best part is that Popular bookstore has a 40% discount for this book and it is as cheap as below 10 bucks. What are you waiting for?

time flies

this is my 21st bday gift from the best friend. gosh, 21st seem so long ago. then, we were excitedly preparing for our 21st parties and now, we are talking about weddings. our hot topic for the last few days.

seriously time is harsh. the number seems to increase faster every year. and how things change so rapidly. then the nano was the trendiest gadget to own, now who really uses an iPod that often when you can easily add your playlist to your phone. it's really scary how things are moving so fast and you've got to move along or risk getting thrown behind.

My comfort tee (33/365)

Ever since my best friend gave it to me a while back ago, I have been wearing it at home quite often. It has become my comfort home wear. Even the fact that it is a huge Vietnam flag doesn't stop me!

Hello Panda (32/365)

my tummy has been acting up since i came back from Bali. no appetite for anything but somehow i found comfort in Hello Panda. This is my new comfort food. And of course it totally helps that it is red in colour.

cluedo!

I had a visitor today! so sweet of her to visit sickly me :) I made her bring a green item for me and this was what she brought me... a pack of cluedo cards -_- not like we were gonna play.

but I'll blog about it! i love playing games!! and I was at one point hooked to this pack of cards. my friends and I lived to tell a story. we almost missed a flight because of this game! haha!

the bug

and im really down with the flu bug. zzz. one of the worst times to fall ill mans! probably like what Leona say, my body is rejecting work!! :( sigh, suckiest feeling. I need some TLC!! haha.

anyway wanted to see the doctor but it's so ridiculous! the clinic's open but there's no doctor! he's on reservist. so I have no doc to see :( but seriously, why bother to open the clinic when there's no doc!!

Absolut Vodka (31/365)

Absolut Vodka keep coming out with different designs on their bottles for the collectors. For a period of time when i was younger, i really thought the bottles were cool. limited editions every season. but vodka is not really my kind of drink. i prefer wine or beer. =) here's my red pic of the day. Project 365 has completed 1/12! =)

green with envy

im taking a picture of myself because I'm greeennn with envy!! my best friend is away in Bali enjoying herself!! in a nice big villa with a beautiful sun deck and great service. and she's blissfully moving on to her next stage in life =) happy for her! but here I am, having the Monday blues, never ending work, turning green with the flu virus and struggling with an emotional battle. how not to be envious :( ok enough of ranting! haha.

self entertainment but i think the pic is quite hilarious. haha!

Greetings from Bali! (30/365)

I wanted to find something red that represents Bali which is where I am right now. This is just perfect! So touristy! Haha

And off i WHISK to Bali! (29/365)

I'm going to Bali for 3 days. =) Not sure if there will be wifi there. if there is, i can still post on time. but anyway this is a really pretty picture of a red luggage. I always wanted a red luggage!!! Bali, here i come!!! =)

inconvenience

I almost couldn't find my pic of the day today but got saved at the last minute on the way home.

anyway the lift at my flat has been under construction for a few months now. it's rather inconvenient having to rely on one lift. waiting time can be really long in the morning. well, guess its a good reason to start taking the stairs more!

Spiderman (28/365)

Saw this at Toys'r'us today. I remember catching the first Spiderman movie when I was in secondary school. I like the show but little do i know he is a fictional Marvel Comics superhero. And there are actually alot alot more stories to spiderman. So many villians, so many spidermans. There are actually more than one spiderman. I dunno much about the comic spiderman. I just watch the movie. Good enough. =)

new tradition

I like having traditions :) started a lo hei tradition at sakae with my sheesheeps babes last yr. and we continued this yr! hoping to keep this!

love jap food! but dont really like sakae. I'm an all-time sushi tei fan! dinner was still good. well company is all that matters =)

Red car (27/365)

I rarely get to sit the bf's father's car. And today i was like eh? this car is red too! i love it when we have transport. sometimes after a long party, it would be good to drive home instead of waiting for the public transport. but of course, when you drive, you can't drink! haha! i got to drink today while the bf had to refrain cos he's driving. =)

my comfort drink :)

how can I not include my all time favourite drink in this project!=) haven't been in the best of moods lately. and I seek comfort in a cuppa milo. the wonders it does to me. friends who know me will know how big a milo fan I am! a cup of milo never fails to make me feel better, even on the shittiest of days! =)

Fast Food Again! (26/365)

i was wondering to myself today as i stared at Colonel Sanders today, why are all fast food restaurant signs all red? Macs also, KFC also. I really don't want to take fast food again but the redness of it shouts out to me! Haha!
