Valentine's @ Wimbly Lu / Sakae Sushi

HEY GUYS
I finally FINALLY found the time to blog after my computer has been fixed (as mentioned in the previous post).
 Like what the hell that random day i had all the time in the world to blog about valentine's, all ready with photos and my computer decided to die on me?
Anyway i'm so relieved the photos and everything is still intact if not it'll be so much more troublesome!

Selfies from valentines hehe



idk if anyone can tell but i'm using a different method of make up HAHAHA
like a few weeks ago i tried the wing upwards thingy using my eyeliner...and it actually looked quite hideous
now i'm trying to extend the eyeliner downwards?
wtf i can't believe i'm still experimenting with make up when people my age / younger than me are already so pro with it haiya
I bet everyone thinks i'm a sua ku now >_> sigh
i've been questioned about my make up methods so many times already cause i use the wrong methods...all the time apparently
Whatever as long as it looks fine from afar it's good enough for now hahaha





Mandatory photos with my own valentine~ hehe



So damn comfortable around him i can actually pose however i like hehe



i guess you can tell i don't do movement shots much so just taking a photo with my skirt twirling took like 10minutes
my poor boy was complaining about how hot it was HAHA i'm sorry i'm sorry once again :(


We decided not to have a typical valentine's date and go for the usual movie - nice dinner and whatever so i suggested going to Wimbly Lu!
We've been wanting to go there for a long long time but because it's inconvenient, the place is always packed and people wait for hours, we have been dragging our wimbly lu date for damn long.
So we decided to go there in the afternoon hoping it's less crowded! But we were wrong HAHA still full house and we still had to wait for a bit.
But i guess it's wayyyyy less crowded than dinner time though.

Not sure if everyone here knows of Wimbly Lu but i'm guessing you should have seen the name a lot on instagram haha it's actually a cafe at Serangoon.
They specialize in making desserts and homemade ice cream (which is bloody fantastic). Many people go there for waffles on ice cream and i finally see why.

Here's how to get there:
1. From Bishan mrt you take bus 58 from the interchange.
2. Get down at the 6th stop but everyone loses count of bus stops anyway so alight 2 stops after passing by lorong chuan mrt! (approximately 15min ride)
It'll be at a very very ulu bus stop but don't worry you got that right. The cafe is like out of nowhere amongst terrace houses you'll have to walk in from the bus stop.
3. I dont know how to really direct you from the bus stop cause it's kinda complicated. We were using GPS and others headed for wimbly used GPS too.
So i guess that's pretty much the only way haha here's the address (the walk from that bus stop is about 5minutes or a lil lesser) -- 
15 Jalan Riang, 358987 next to The Fat Cat

ALTERNATIVE ROUTE

Be an idiot like us to walk from Serangoon mrt in the hot afternoon sun and reach there soaked in sweat because it's a 20 min unsheltered route yes.





Don't know if they're famous for their chocolates but it looks DAMN good. But rather pricey though it's $2 per piece!



As you can see there was already a couple waiting there << before us but after like 10 minutes or so they gave up on waiting and left LOL.
I'm guessing they've been waiting for a really long time so poor thing.
Thankfully they left though because after a very short while there was already a seat hiak hiak hiak. Lucky us.


Decided to take a picture of their menu for your reference since it includes the opening hours and everything that they serve!
As you can see half of it is desserts and drinks. They really don't serve much food.
I was actually very surprised that they even had Valentine's set dinner that day for $88




Ordered their ice cream on waffle for $8.80! You can choose your own flavour of ice cream i think i chose chocolate truffle?
Their ice cream is homemade and really quite good!

I guess the only reason why i'm not a fan of waffle is because 1 or 2 scoops of ice cream on it isn't enough for me.
like i would love to eat a huge mouthful of ice cream along with a tiny piece of waffle HAHA so like 4 scoops would be just nice?
Plus right the waffle is so hot and the ice cream melts so damn fast on it?
how do i enjoy it if i have to eat it fast enough so the ice cream wouldn't melt before my last mouthful right.

Aiya #waffleproblems
But their waffles are really good it's super crispy and fresh wo xi huan i'll rate it like 9.25/10



... that ice cream looks SO GOOD


TIP OF THE DAY #totd : bring a cute guy along with you because it makes your food taste even better hehehehehe


Root beer cake with ice cream!!! Ritche's favourite drink is root beer so it was a must try for him haha.
At first we just started eating from the top of the cake without the fudge and it really didn't taste much like root beer, just chocolate.
But after awhile i realized we were supposed to dip it in the fudge sauce at the bottom because it's actually root beer chocolate sauce!
Really quite unique but why the ice cream so tiny i could eat it in 1 mouthful pls
This one i'll rate like 7.5/10 it's a little too sweet for my liking



Even ordered ice lemon tea which eventually tasted like water HAHA cause walao the desserts so sweet then obviously it had no taste what



Outfit post:

Necklace from F21
Maroon Bag from Italy
Floral Offshoulder Dress upcoming on StyleHacks.net!!!
Red Cutout Wedges from online~



HAHAHA you compare the top photo and the one below. The top is a candid walao just look at the diff between his usual posture vs posing for the camera.


Went to orchard to walk around to buy quite a bit of things because i've been deprived of clothes and stuff and headed over to sakae sushi for a buffet!
Definitely an impromptu plan but we were craving for it haha.




I'm pretty sure i ate close to 20 plates of sushi i have no idea why i just couldn't stop eating wtf.

Anyway that was my sweet valentine's celebration! Not anything fancy but we obviously went for things that we liked instead.
I don't really see a need to pay like 1.5x more just to have dinner at a fancy place on valentine's when it's not even more special in any way like what is the whole point?

i've been rather busy with work lately yeap i've been working as a waitress again SIGH.
It's been like 2 years since i touched that job i actually threw away the uniform so i had to spend like $50 to buy it again wtf?
Aiya it's just really damn tiring and i can't stand how i always push myself damn hard.i overwork like crazy, i know it, but i don't ever control myself from working?
I need to learn how to take a break sometimes >_>
i've been working non stop from friday till today and there's still 5 more days to go which is like 10 days straight.
AH well but at least i'll have some more money for my upcoming Bali trip in just 20 DAYS!!!!

Hehe alright i guess that's all i have for now~
Till next time :)
