Are you game enough for some console thrills?

Are you game enough for some console thrills?

There's an awesome entertainment area out there along prinsep street which is a must go. Previously known as The Hangout, Playnation is founded at creating a cosy nice ambience place for youngsters to chill and have hell loads of fun with boardgamings and console games. Be it console or boardgames, it's definitely going to be a memorable and exciting stay for you there.

The more the merrier, as the saying goes. Despite having not meet up for ages, this bunch of people continues to be as crazy as before, or even more now. The fun is always there with their presence. Self entertainment, laughing at our own nonsensical selves, full of lame jokes and craps; that's what we always do. It's a norm. So long as its CDS peeps gathering together, you will never fail to witness that. i miss my seniors and we've been longing for a senior cum junior outing some time ago. Finally, it was successfully carried out on the 29th july. Though it wasn't a complete one with everyone in, however, we all had our fair share of fun that day. GREAT QUALITY TIME spent together.

Time to brief you our lined up activities for the day.
First Stop was NONE OTHER than Playnation.

You can have a go at wii or xbox over at playnation if you've yet to play one before. As we only went for console games, there were no boardgames involved. Wii was first played. With guitar hero (first game) lasting as long as two hours. SIMPLY AWESOME TO THE MAX!!! Guitar Hero is a musical game, more like a rock band game though where you can unleash your inner rock star. It consists of 2 guitarists, 1 percussionist and 1 vocalist. All in all four players are playing as though like rock band stars each time. i ♥ being a guitarist as well as a percussionist! All went well till weikiat started hogging onto the mike and singing off tune. He's trying to be funny out there but had definitely fulfilled his entertainment purposes. That's him. (*laughs*)

A joker in my clique who never fail to tickle me.

Presenting to you, this trio rock band.

And now presenting to you, the six of us! :D

Time flies. Our happy hour(2pm-6pm) @ playnation was over in the blink of an eye. Evening falls and its time to satisfy our hunger pangs. We came to a consensus to choose cafe cartel for dinner over the rest of the restaurants in Plaza Singapura. "Tender Chicken and Butter Tiger Prawns" was what i ordered there. Taken aback by the portion of this main course meal where it comes not only with the hotplate itself, but an additional salad side dish, not to mention my add-on soup and drinks. You can imagine how fulfilling this meal is for me that day.

Over dinner, we chatted, laughed over trivial stuffs, cam-whored etc.

With my lovely seniors♥

Our dinner and chit chatty session went beyond 9pm and this is the time when all cakes, ice-creams, beverages are going at half price over at cafe cartel. Their 50% irresistible promotion after 9pm. We went for it despite after the full meal. Eileen, jieying and me shared a maple waffle syrup served with cookies and cream ice-cream and the rest went for brownie, ice-cream sundae and cheese cake respectively. Sweet delights for the night! (Sadly, the waffle and brownie aren't under the promotion delights. we overlooked it.)

It was a lovely night spent with them. Also not forgetting the thrilling and exciting part in the afternoon with our console games as great companions. One thing to note here is wii can be real tiring. Most of us were zonked out after playing that 'cause it requires lots of vigorous hand movements. My muscles are aching even till now.

Anw, eileen brought along her EOS 550D Canon DSLR over the other day and that was the first time i actually played around with a DSLR. She took good photos of us with it. i'm coming to love dslr even more. The buttons may seem to be a lil' complicated at first but slowly, you can easily get the hang of it. Something interesting i've found out from her is you can get to choose either auto focus or manual focus. With manual focus, you can play around with the zoom in zoom out lens and capture nice focused images with blurred edges. How awesome, isn't it? DSLR does wonders.

Baby Canon, i'm bringing you home one day.

That's for now.

The Foursome

Weekends night are always meant for my foursome clique. Our weekly basis meet-up on a saturday evening has been implemented ever since last year. Till date, we still keep to our promise. i always love their companions. We can chat almost everything under the sun. Our common goal, our studies, the novelty and variation that we are pursuing in life. We love to indulge in delectable delights and entertainment. We're always out to source for better ambience places for food(sounding as though food ambassadors here, tsktsk...) as well as entertainment, thrill and fun in this small little dot on the map. i do hope that one day, we can leave singapore for another country out there, travelling overseas with one another. So long as it's a overseas trip together, i don't mind the place that we're heading to. More importantly is each and everyone's presence that i'm more concern with.

During last saturday's evening, wk and joyce met up with me and sok at causeway point for the usual dinner hang-out. Initial ajisen plan was changed to cafe gelare for waffle ice-cream. We shared two different types of flavours of waffles. One of which will be a liking for fruit lover and another one is a more common type of chocolatey waffle served with maple syrup and your choice of ice-cream. i have never been to cafe gelare for waffle ice-cream before, not even once. Hence, i left the choice to them, so long as its not cinnamon flavour! You know, i just hate cinnamon to the core. (*laughs*)

And as shown below, these are the two flavours of waffles that we chose.

Freshly baked frutti tutti waffle served with chocolate cookie dough ice-cream, chocolate syrup and whipped cream.

Freshly baked chocolatey waffle served with wild strawberry ice-cream, maple syrup and whipped cream.

i love this wild strawberry flavour ice-cream. Nice recommendation from wk. It tastes a bit sour and sweet at the same time! Yummy. The ice-cream there tastes like yogurt too. Simply Thumbs Up.

Good evening times were spent. Though its only a few hours of meet-up, but i'm glad we leave some good memories behind once again. Photo-taking is definitely a usual routine every outing for they are meant for keepsake. i love you guys♥. We've also made plans for the next outing, a much more happening one this time round for its going to be a whole day event.

Anticipating the arrival of that day...

That's for now...

Sweet Temptations

Sweet Temptations

Lately, i had a lot of sweet delights, especially during this december month 'cause it is my birthday and my friends bought me cakes during celebration.

Earlier on, i went with joyce to jurong point after our lunch with sok at holland village. With the initial intention to shop, we ended up in bakerzin for a high tea session instead (laughs). Ordered strawberry shortcake and sweet pleasure from bakerzin. Sweet pleasure is my best recommendation there. Love it! And also, you just simply have to add on 1.90 for either a hot or cold drink. Perfect combination for a filling high tea in a nice ambience restaurant. lt was such a coincidence to see cindy there. As she is the teamleader staff there, she gave us discounts for our cakes just now. How GREAT! Maybe we should pick another day when she's there and dine in again (laughs). joking.

i have a sweet tooth and i love all these sweet delights. How wonderful would that be if i'm able to make them one day for myself! Maybe should try baking cakes one of these days...or even cookies?
