Sushi Tei

Recently I have been craving for Japanese food all the time! You can look forward to more Japanese food posts here :-P

Had yummy Japanese feast with Milly, Fidelis and Nadia some time back at Sushi Tei! Milly went to the restaurant to get a table first and I was so happy she chose the window seat because the photos end up really nice and bright because of the sunlight! Enjoy the pics!

Singapore Social Concert

Today I'm going to blog about the Singapore Social Concert that happened last month! But let me say something first. The whole entry only have one photo of the concert. And it's a faraway photo that cannot even see who is on stage. Hahaha.

Anyway, met up with Ben for food before the concert and we had ramen at this Japanese rstaurant. Food was only okay. But we were so caught up with our conversation that we totally forgot about the concert. Lol. The concert starts 7pm but we only realize we were late at around 6.45pm.



Nevertheless, we still took our time to take OOTD and photos before heading off to Gardens By The Bay. Haha. My blue dress is from Earthdoll, located at Bukit Panjang Plaza #03-21. Do check out the clothes there as the prices are mostly $10-$15 only!






This photo below onwards except last photo, are all from Ben's camera. Under sunlight SO NICE RIGHT!!!! So bright and white and wide enough to show the background when taking self pics! Love the the white balance too. You can compare the photos above and this one, mine has the yellowish tone but his camera makes the photo look fresher. I have decided that it will be one of the choice for my next camera!


Even when it's dark still can take quite okay photos!


Here's the faraway stage photo. Check out the crowd!!! There were SO MANY people there that day. When we reached, which was quite late, we saw a lot of late comers queuing outside too.We stood quite far away from the stage as we didn't want to step on the muddy ground. It was very hot standing amongst the crowd and after awhile we went to stand at the hill behind which had lots of people sitting on picnic mats they brought themselves. It was much more spacious there and a whole lot breezier. The only thing we lacked was a mat. Should have brought one along!


Grainy photo but you see the background, got "music festival" feel right!!!!! Like very happening hor? Hahaha and the stage is so far away. Lucky got big screens which we looked at all night.


Actually I was looking forward to only 3 songs. Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson and the two hit songs Gangnam Style and Gentlemen by Psy. Carly Rae Jepson sang for around 1 hour and she only sang the song I wanted to hear at the end of her songs lineup. I was almost afraid that she would skip that song for this gig!!! The crowd was most active when Psy appeared.

We left after Psy left by the way. Wanted to fill our stomachs with savoury food so we went to Coffee Bean at Marina Bay Sands. Was only told that the kitchen was closed after we sat down so we had scone and cake instead. So unsatisfying because what we really wanted was real food!!


Though quite tiring, it was an enjoyable night! Thanks to Starcount and Nuffnang for the tickets ^_^

Food and kitties

I realize that time passes so fast when I'm at home compared to when I'm at work! I have been spending more time at home because I recently resigned and is currently half resting and half looking for a new job (do let me know if you know of any vacancies which you think I might be suitable for!)

So, my lunch everyday is microwaved food from the 7-Eleven downstairs. Today I had Korean + Japanese cuisine, which is actually Kimchi cup noodles and some microwaved chicken chunks. Haha.

Youtube Fan Fest

Thanks to Churpchurp, I had tickets to attend Youtube Fan Fest with my boyfriend! ^_^

There were two dates to choose from and since I really wanted to see Ryan Higa, we got the 2nd date although I didn't really recognize the other stars for that night.

Blisshouse

This entry is going to be all blissful and white!! After the Garnier Sakura White Tea Party, it was time for Mystery Makan! This time, it was Nadia's turn and she brought us to this lovely place called "Blisshouse" located at Central.



The entrance. Lots of oooohh and wahhhh by us girls because it's so pretty!


The dreamy and flowery entrance.


The inside was mostly white and the ground was "grass"! The whole place looked very sweet and I think it would be a really pretty place to hold themed weddings or birthday parties!


I chose to sit facing the sun because that equals to nice and brightly lit photos!! Then when it was time to take photos of the food, I had to go opposite as the food looks brighter taken from the same direction as the sun! Picture with Jacelyn! Her dressing is so matching for this place!


This was my main course. Love fish! By the way, initially I had low expectations for the food because places that fare well in decor usually have mediocre food. BUT, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food at Blisshouse. Everything was yummy and good!


Fidelis' pasta. It smelt so good when it came, I almost wish I ordered that too.


Nadia's steak. Check out the carrots cut into the shape of mini carrots!!! So cute!!!


Love the presentation of the food! This was our mushroom for sharing. It tastes as good as it looks!


Jacelyn had the duck leg.


Photo with Nadia. She had to come over to my side for the "nice lighting"... Haha!


Beside our table was this nice stage with a white piano at the side. This place looks so romantic right?!?!


Photo with Fidelis at the piano.


Such a beautiful place to take photos at!


Besides the decor, the service was also extremely good here. Definitely a thumbs up for this place. Thanks to Nadia for discovering this place!!
