Outfit to Orchard on an evening.

1. Love my cream clutch that I'm pairing everything with it!
2. Did the hidden bow to neaten my checkered scarf.
3.Hair in a bun - I did a video for it at the bottom of the entry.

Met up with friends at Watami, Ion Orchard.
Queue was long, I think the wait was around 30 minutes or so ( I was late :x)
We ordered the Deluxe Set for 2 and an additional main to share among the 4 of us.

Started with the tasty Watami Salad and it's SO GOOD.

All my favorite veg including broccoli and tender chicken slices.
I'll do this salad for lunch anytime!

6 pcs of Salmon Sashimi, great, I miss this stuff!

I actually like wasabi that's dry in texture, the moist wasabi paste is rather mild for me..

Lovely people.

More food arrives...
One of my favorites in Watami - Pork Kimchi Nabe with Udon

Berry Crush with real strawberries and Bibimbap (korean stonepot rice)

Okonomiyaki (Japanese savory egg pancake)
P1030249P1030247
Chicken Katsu Tamago Toji (deep fried chicken with egg)
Awesome!!
With google and some crappy search terms I enter, I managed to find the name of this dish.

Lastly, ending my remaining stitch films and I'm glad my friends love them to keep :)

+1 for this waffle Addie found in Muji (and I conveniently bought it too), it's good!
The waffles' soft and it has this light apple taste to it, nice!
Will go well with a cuppa good hot choco!

I love Saturdays because I can do my simple dating.
It's very important for me to spend time with JS alone because this weekly habit draws us closer :) We often do light shopping together.

my WIW comprises of;
Smooch military beige shirt,
Primark high waist shorts
Tiffany clutch in cream from Yventually
Melissa bronze flats

A very simple dressing for the weekend!
clutch
Size wise it's considered a oversized clutch, which is really useful.
It's also rather chic to be spotted with one, since most clutches are smaller in size.
Carry this to your Christmas functions or lunch gatherings and look appropriate!

I took a closeup of the clutch as well;

The stitchings are very well-done and I love how the gathered texture makes it easy to hold.
Faux leather used is soft, but sturdy to hold all your items (compact, long wallet, keys etc)
My gf liked this so much when I carried this out that she got her own in peach puff!

Zip is well concealed with a faux leather tab, and with gold ends :)

Tagged with the store's label, the Prada-inspired clutch is very well made.
1 zip compartment at the back and 2 slots at the front of clutch.
For measurements and color match, please refer to Yventually's pictures :)

I was looking for a 2012 diary that holds only monthly calendar pages.
I couldn't find the Rilakkuma ones I wanted to get, so I got my floral :>

Chose one with a huge pink flower and some other items that caught my eye.

Stationery and candy shopping are therapeutic 'cos they don't burn a hole in your pockets yet satisfy the shopaholic in you.

In Candylicious @ Ngee Ann City

It's like a little candy world in a huge mall, and we had fun exploring the different brands of candies they bring in.

JS wanted to try every new M&Ms they had - so we had the Pretzel edition!
P1030289P1030288
The biscuit center is crunchy, kind of reminds me of the Crispy M&Ms but the biscuit in this is salty since it's pretzel biscuit.
Its hard to describe the taste because it's both sweet and a tad salty, not too bad! :)

All restaurants had bad, long queues and being rather hungry, we settled for Yoshinoya.
Queues were bad, but least it's for collecting food :)

Yummy beef bowls and tasty potato stars!

Onto the request for a bun tutorial,

So I did a very amateur-looking video :(
Please choose the better video resolution (480p) on the option bar below.


It's my first Vlog, pardon my repetitive words and naggy talks!
Haha, it's supposed to be a 30 seconds hairdo, but I made it sound 2 minutes.
Once you do it 2-3 times, you'll get the hang of it.

Enjoy!
