mentally tired

I really feel like I've hit my breaking point. Burnt my entire weekend on doing work, and I'm still unable to finish it. Had made a conscious effort to start on my work much earlier as I was aware that I'll prolly have problems finishing up everything but as time ticked by while I was sitting here at my table, the number of emails coming in kept multiplying and my slowish internet didn't help either.

You know what people say about weekends and off days being days that you can take your mind off work? Apparently today and yesterday, I had more on my mind about my work than I usually do have for normal working weekdays. Zzz..

Think I'll even dream (or have nightmares) about the emails tonight. Help!!!

feast like a hippo

Double stacked bacon cheeseburger @ hippopotamus.

Had lunch at Hippopotamus restaurant today and as you can see from the photo above, the food was awesome. Will update with a proper post on this soon, promise!

What do you do at home, on a relaxing weekend morning? ☺

Stared at my pictures: the lovely framed memories ♥

Had brekkie; tuna spread on toast & a literal amount of bacon bits!

Recounted my love for harry potter, and my childhood spent on it (:

Played with my squeaky fish toy, imagining that it's a godzilla.

to four-two, with love

This photo was taken last Saturday, when we had our final meet up before Liesl flew to Australia to further her studies. 4/2 never fails to meet up several times a year, and being able to catch up with the rest of them makes me feel glad that although we have gone our separate ways since secondary school and will be headed in even more different directions in the years to come, we've not forgotten about each other. Just to meet up once in a while.. I guess that's enough. (:

how do you like your eggs in the morning?

ty; accidental epicurean

I finally returned to have brunch at Cafe Epicurious after ending my relations with them (hahaha). Collected my pay, and sat down to enjoy the food. Yum yum! Have been dying to try their eggs benedict since reading about it months ago. Many food bloggers rave about eggs benedict but I didn't yet understand the hype about it.

However, the previous time when I went to the Robertson Quay outlet, they had ran out of poached eggs. True enough that while working at the Rail Mall outlet, the chef would give me a poached egg once in a while as a treat and I'll eat it with salt and pepper but it wasn't the same, cause it wasn''t with the accompanying ingredients for eggs ben (as we call it over there).

So I ordered "half of this and half of that", which consists of a small portion of baked eggs portion (aka baked eggs and soldiers) and a single portion of eggs benedict. How nice is it to get to try 2 different dishes on the same plate? (:

Maybe my expectations for the eggs ben were too high, but I found that I actually enjoyed the baked eggs more. Must have been the bacon (which is my favourite food) in it! The OJ was unexpectedly good as well, which shouldn't have came as a surprise since I knew from working there and peeling the oranges every thurs/fri that they used whole oranges to make the freshly squeezed juice.

After finishing up the meal, dex was eager to leave straight after as always but I managed to make him sit down and just chit chat. I know some people like him don't have the habit of staying at the dining place/restaurant and chatting after, but it's one of the things I really enjoy and am used to doing, especially with my family. Somehow, the mood's always better and words flow more easily when you're satisfied with the meal!
