Lately, I enjoyed spending time with friends over a meal or gathering where we can chit-chat all day long. Met up with GF, Meryl, HP, Jas and Ryden on the mid week evening for dinner. With these brunch of friends, we always have endless topics to talk about.
We initially want to dine in at Mad for Garlic @ Suntec City Mall because they were having buy 1 get 1 free promotion on pasta or pizza. After clarifying with the staff, we discovered that the promotion was only limited to 1 free pasta or pizza and no splitting of bill allowed. That means there were 6 of us, only one pair can enjoy the promotion. Well, I guess such promotion only benefit a small group of 2 person. Remember guys, if you come across 1 for 1 or buy 1 get 1 free, do check the footnote of the promotion and clarify with the staff before ordering to prevent misinterpretation.
Since the promotion can't be used on the 6 of us, we decided to switch our dining place to Kimchi Korean Restaurant which was located along the stretch of restaurants at the same level.

We ordered kimchi pancake for sharing.
Knowing that we will be ordering side dishes for sharing, I decided to have something lighter. Jas and I opt for the glass noodle on the appetiser menu. This was quite a small portion, it was definitely not enough if just purely order this for dinner.
We ordered Yang Yeum Chicken for sharing too.
This was my favourite dish. I love the spicy sauce coated on the fried chicken.
It was indeed a nice gathering session, I enjoyed gathering like that.

Yeah, it's TGIF.
I always find myself looking very forward to Friday. By Thursday, I already find my energy being fully drained out, practically feel like a walking zombie. When Friday approaches, I feel like my energy is being recharged and I can do whatever I like without worrying about any constraint. Looking forward to my well deserving weekend. Be it meeting up with friends or lazing at home.
Met JH for lunch at a Hill Street Coffeeshop.
He has become one of my regular lunch buddy, so nice to have friend working near you where you can catch up over lunch. Haven't catch up with le bff clique for a long time, now JH has become the only active one that I am meeting up with regularly.
Since the time was still early, we went to Mei Heong Yuen Dessert for sweet treat. We ordered mango roll and sweet corn shaved ice. We will be back here again to try all the other desserts, there are so many flavours of shaved ice that we want to try.
Met up with Meryl in the night for shopping at Banana Republic @ Paragon. All the pieces are so nice and some of it are my styles. Time to revamp my wardrobe to get rid of those old clothes and welcome the new.

Check out the newest bar in town: Black Nut Gastrobar
Black Nut is the latest bar that opened its doors at Emerald Hill Road, where the old Alley Bar was located.
If you happen to be at Orchard Road, be sure to check out Black Nut, the newest nightlife chill out place. Black Nut is a gastrobar that served drinks like handcrafted cocktails and Asian-influenced dishes.
Kilat Kilat cocktail.
I like the cheeky name of their cocktails.
Here for the Raunchy Rojak party.
We found some retro snacks placed at every table. Seeing the retro snacks made us reminisced the old good times. These were the snacks we had when we were young.
. Black Nut is a nice place to chill out with your friends with drinks and food, a break from the usual party.
And yes, at the opening party, we immersed ourselves in the free flow of Erdinger.
I actually found myself preferring beer than vodka. So nice to chill out with a drink and chit-chat all night.
I brought GF along with me to the opening party. At the party, we bumped into a couple of our friends. Party are always more fun with more party goers.
Guess who we met outside?
I met the handsome Thai-American actor, Utt Panichkul. He was really friendly and approaching, we enjoyed mingling around with him.
I guessed you are all familiar with him right?
He was the VJ for MTV Asia.
GF and I took a photo with Utt at the photo booth.
Lately, GF introduced me a Thai drama - Full House Thai, where Utt participated in the drama too. Wow, I'm gonna watch it soon.
Took a group photo with William and his friends too.
The bar has a retrolicious ambience that made us feel at eased.
Resumed our drinking and listening to pop music. The bar was playing 'Watch Me Whip' all night long.
Black Nut is located at 2 Emerald Hill Road.
They open daily. Just pop by between 5pm to 2am for dinner or drinks.

Over the weekend, Singapore Bus Carnival was held at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza organised by Land Transport Authority. Decided to check out the carnival with my 2 lovelies.
At the carnival, it showcased the Past, Present and Future of the Singapore Public Bus industry.
This year marks a brand new chapter for the Singapore public bus industry as they will be transiting to a new contracting model. With bus contracting, the commuters can expect more reliable services, shorter waiting times and more comfortable rides.
On board one of the new concept buses where every seat comes with a headrest and power charging point. Not only that, the new initiatives for double decker bus includes a 2 way staircase where riders can go up via first staircase and come down via the staircase behind. In such way, it will not block the way of people going up or down. There is also a third doors right at the back of the bus for people sitting at the back or coming down for the staircase to alight.
With Jasmine and GF. Thanks Jasmine for the photo.
Step back in time as we headed into the Past Zone.
The bus behind us was the non-aircon older days bus. That was a vintage bus straight from the 1960s.
Do you still remember these transit link cards we used in the 1990s.
I remembered that when I boarded the bus, we have to insert this transit link card into the card reader, I always pressed the first button regardless the distance I traveled.
The past zone will take you back in time to experience and learn how our bus infrastructure has changed.
The weather nowadays was so hot, we went for some desserts after that.
This is how I spent my Saturday, reminiscing the old good times.
