She's leaving for U.S.A in less than a week's time. With that, it also means that i will have lesser one companion to accompany me for tea session. Gonna' miss her and our favourite tea session times together... Yesterday evening was sort of a bidding farewell session for her before her U.S.A trip. Her flight is sooO early in the morning, if not i will go send her off during her departure day to U.S.A. OMG!!! U.S.A (Los Angeles, Las Vegas), she's gonna visit these cities during her two-weeks holiday in America. How i wish i would have signed up for this trip too. It's a rare chance, once in a lifetime having such good package offer for a U.S.A trip. Two weeks stay for just 2000plus to 3000. i shouldn't have give it a miss, argh!!! Back then, my bangkok trip was actually back to back with this u.s.a trip and that's the main reason why i gave it a miss. Somehow, bangkok trip is now postponed to august 13th to 16th due to the chaos there.
However, if i were to go for this u.s.a trip, i would have missed my cousin's wedding on the 11th of june. It's around the corner and i'm kinda getting excited for this is the first time that a cousin from my mum's side is actually holding a wedding. She's the first one to do so. 
we captured many many shots at coffeebean yesterday meanwhile savouring our cake delights and hazelnut ice-blended coffee. i love deb's newly bought canon ixus 130! The photo qualities are good, of sharp images and there's actually this interesting "fish-eye effect" that you can play with in this camera. i was telling her that i wanted dslr camera and my another friend, jiaqi once told me that canon ixus 130 the next second best option to dslr for the mega pixel is as high as 14.1 and the turn-out of the photos is clear and sharp. It's only then did i realize that deb actually bought that camera which i was referring to after telling her the whole chunk about it. she didn't even recognize her own camera's brand name...haha!
Having a good camera with high mega pixel is important. i think it's very worth spending a little more on a good one for this is something that will be with you for the next few years. It's going to be long-lasting provided that you take good care of it and don't drop or misplace it accidentally. Camera is of the utmost importance here when it comes to overseas. You need good camera to capture the most captivating scenery over at other countries. 
Both of us ordered the same drink- Hazelnut ice-blended coffee and we shared two pieces of cake namely "chocolate in a thousand leaves" and "carrot cake" Carrot cake wasn't so much to my liking mainly due to the cinnamon. i loathe cinnamon. Hazelnut blended coffee was a new try for me and i recommended deb that too. i once had a sip of my friend's one and felt that it was nice. However, i still prefer starbuck's java chip or perhaps blackforest at coffeebean to it. well, but it's not a bad try though...
we have no idea how come we couldn't even finish up the two pieces of cake last evening. They weren't of very big portion, but somehow we just can't stuff them all into our stomach! Shouldn't have ordered two cakes in the first place. Now, we know...
Deb is my photographer for the day. She likes taking candid shot. i wasn't caught off guard. i stay alert! haha...
And so, why are you secretly shooting me again now?! (*laughs*)
This time round, it's my turn to take one for her. My first attempt failed for she said she looked too serious in the photo. Hence, i got her a more relaxing, funky one during the second shot and she was pleased with the photo:) i was telling her she looked as though she is in u.s.a's coffeebean. Anyway, U.S.A has coffeebean there for sure and all coffeebean outlets look mostly the same... So, just pause and imagine yourself there already for the next few seconds...
Have a safe and smooth journey there, girl. Be sure to take lotsssss of photos and spam your facebook with them. Enjoy your two weeks holiday over at las vegas and los angeles. Looking forward to your return back in singapore to share your exciting stories with me during our next tea session. Bon Voyage!
Off to prepare for k-session later at safra's country club. That's for now.
Coffee club was our second try for a new taste of high tea in other coffee houses. For ambience wise, this is definitely a cosy, ambience place with nice lightings and comfy seats in the restaurant. Somewhat on par with tcc which i've been twice before with another group of friends. Me and Deb explored our second coffee house (The Coffee Club) a couple of days ago. i chanced upon this tea de-lites promotion on its website and was tempted by their appealing tea delights images. However, in the end, it wasn't as planned. Both of us ended spending not only on desserts, but on ala carte main course as well as drink, exceeded our budget by a huge line. It's still alright to be a spendthrift once in a while, but definitely not ALWAYS. If not, we will really go broke at this rate (*laughs*) 
This was the main course which i've ordered. The sauce wasn't to my liking. i only love the grilled fish with the seasonings. Somehow, i preferred deb's tom yam sauce more than my own one.
This ice vanilla mocha here is nice. A chef recommendation. (There's a vanilla ice-cream float on top of it)
Main course was over and it was not long before we started ordering our dessert. Muddy mud pie, a dessert which i've long wanted to try. My friend also recommended me this dessert at coffee club, saying that it was yummy. 
However, having this muddy mud pie was somewhat a horrendous experience for me and deb. You can easily see it from our captured photo of mud pie above. Do not be scared off by this first. Mud pie isn't as bad as what you've seen at first sight from my photo if you've yet to try. Let me do the explanation here. We actually asked for a bit more chocolate syrup and the dessert chef ended up giving us a whole pool of chocolate. Deb, who is a chocolate-lover can't even take this sweetness. Unless you reallyyy have a sweet tooth, you can still go all out to ask for more.
Real fulfilling lunch, more like an early dinner instead. That's for dinner as well. Time to work out and burn off the huge intake of calories. It's shopping spree time after our meals at coffee club. Freshened up ourselves in the toilet and captured a few shots before proceeding off to heeren and far east plaza to hunt for shoes. It wasn't window-shopping; we didn't go home empty-handed! i love the shoes which i've bought at far east's mimosa. it kinda matches my newly bought charles and keith bag.
Thank you to this kind person who helped us take this group photo at mc cafe that day. We were having second thoughts on whether to approach this man here to help us take a picture 'cause he was busy chatting away with his girlfriend and we wouldn't want to disturb their lovey-dovey couple chats. But still, in the end, we approached him...
