so much food, so little time
So. I’m going back pretty soon, not even sure which day yet due to some complications. And as you might know, food is my favourite thing in life, so I just wanted to make a…
Checklist of Favourite Singapore Food
- Hokkien mee (must be the traditional dry kind on the leaf thing, not the gross wet kind) – check, multiple times
- Nasi Padang (with a lot of assam curry) – check, multiple times
- Newton lala (from Chicken Hair Auntie stall) – check, multiple times
- Newton BBQ sambal stingray (also from Chicken Hair Auntie stall) – check, multiple times
- Chilli crab – check, twice
- McDonald’s Garlic Chilli – check, kept some packets to bring over, yay!
- Chicken rice – check, twice
- Roast duck noodles – check multiple times
- Carrot Cake – check, one time only need to eat more
- Kiam Chai soup – check, 1 x itek tim, 1 x mommy cooked which owns the one from Ivin’s
- Nagomiya Japanese BBQ – check
- Ayam Goreng (from Es Teler at Far East, with lots of sambal and kechap manis) – check
- Char kway teow – check
- Special tom yum fish noodle thing – check
- Roti Prata – NO CHECK! HAVEN’T EATEN PRATA! SOMEONE TAKE ME TO AL AMEEN NOW!
- McSpicy – NO CHECK! OMG!!!
I think I need more mommy-cooked food as well. I’ve only eaten her cooking twice this trip :(
Every time I’ve eaten something yummy I’ve taken a photo of it with my phone and immediately posted it on Joe’s fb wall to piss him off! Ahaha. It worked.
Nice. Mmm, food.

Hey! Sorry about that. Hmmm, Sheila and I have been going to Von for trims, he’s at Holland V and his number is 92995052. He’s quite like… conservative when it comes to hairstyles though, if you’re looking for something more interesting and edgy you can try Alex, 91441571, he does hair for fashion shows and stuff.

Hi, how do you find the Liese Bubble Hair Colour? Will the colour fade off after a few wash and will it make the hair dry after using it? Thanks.

nicole replied:
I think it’s fine! I don’t really know cause I’ve never dyed my hair before. Nope it doesn’t make your hair dry.

Hello I saw from one of your previous pictures that you have a mbmj nylon tote. How dyou find it? Is it comfortable enough to support all of a student’s assets (I.e bookssss)? Plus is it durable? Thanks!

nicole replied:
Yeah I use it as a schoolbag! Hmm, it hasn’t broken or anything so I guess so? I don’t normally like canvas bags but I didn’t wanna carry a leather bag to school since in Australia we bum around on grass patches or the beach all day.
