Sometimes you may find yourself in a dilemma where you are "damned if you do, and damned if you don't." You cannot solve such dilemmas by choosing a side because both paths lead to suffering. The only way out is to transform your perspective to a place where the dilemma no longer exists. This is possible.
Cleared my camera roll and here are the photos! Some ain't even on Insta before. Not in any particular order but I tried to group them.

Pretty lady~~
xmas pressies
Messy me.
At mac for htht!
Life is fun but I lost every single time.

Helped sissy with xmas cards
Trying to swallow a fly
For the little pests in my house
A cake that had too much flour.
*according to the experts lol*
Canele macarons
Favourite isn't caramel (surprise surprise). I like cookie&cream!
Too sweet. Toooooo sweet.
Well, my life's pretty stagnant nowadays. Woke up with vivid dreams and mornings gone, ate, spent my whole entire life with either computer or TV and slept really late at night. (like now, going 4am wtf). Cycle repeats.
Had a tiny but super fun xmas gathering at sm's place, took photos and headed to town with the kids after so long. I miss hanging out with them. I should stop living virtually or in my own comfortable world.
On the side note, I received my grades for the first sem. How do I put it? Above what I aimed for but some mods were disappointing. At least my hard work, though pretty last min, sort of paid off. Let me reward myself with good food and some shopping!
JB later. Maybe... I can ask my dad to drop us at the malls when we are at JB. If not the next post will probably be random snaps around my place/my dog/my fish tank/plants.
Can't wait for the weekends/next week (which is next year lol). Meeting my misses, steamboat and some fun.
Konichiwa!
Went to Marina Barrage for picnic with the girls! No rain (yay!), not super sunny until we attempted to play bridge.
French toast, egg mayo sandwiches, soya milk, potato salad, papaya, banana, blue berries, grapes, waffles and pizza.
Nom
Filled our tummies, time to take group shots!
Tried to do jump shots but slowpok is indeed slow. Her first, and our last, success shot. This photo never fails to make me laugh. Look at yq hahaha. Too funny.
If you can see her face, you can't see mine. Or sw stuck to the ground lol.
Shifted indoors because the Sun was getting a little too unbearable.
A lame surprise for pyq before xmas exchange!
Played drinking games with the girls trololololl it was fun.
Time to leave for the second destination.
PlayNation
Scape
Kinect is funnnnnn.

Tempted tempted.
Hope to spend more time with them before the 6 months of school again T ^ T
Anyone.

Early Merry Kristmaz everybody!
It's year end again.
Bought my family out for early xmas celebration.
Barbacoa
180 Kitchener Road
City Square Mall #02-39/40
Nearest MRT: Farrer Park
(+65) 6634 1884
Monday - Sunday: 11.30am - 10pm
Website: Click
This place is more of an open concept cafe; you get to see the chefs working hard in the kitchen and people walking by can see the whole restaurant at a glance. Luckily we sat quite inside - I don't like people walking around when I'm eating.
What I like about this place?
Barbacoa is relatively quiet and plays good music. Unique decorations but sadly I didn't take any photos. Pretty good service too.
Oh, no GST and service charge as well. Plus point. Set meals are really pocket friendly and portions are decent too.
On the side note, I almost slipped, twice to be exact, when I walked around the restaurant. Kinda scary.
Pardon the photo quality. Some of them are out of frame fml. My family was hungry and they understand the importance of me taking pictures of every single thing lol.
Grilled salmon salad ($7.50)
I didn't know each main course comes with a side dish (wedges) and salad. I don't mind taking salad outside as long as it is not.. Bitter and lack dressing, which was in this case.
I don't know why all their veggies taste bitter and there is practically no dressing :(
Grilled salmon was a disappointment as well. Overcooked; losing all the salmon goodness sigh.
Mushroom soup
I think this comes with any main course purchased.
White creamy spaghetti ($5.50), grilled bacon ($2)
I like this but grilled bacon was a disappointment.
Barbacoa has a really interesting concept for spaghetti You choose you base and pay for any additional toppings (eg. bacon, mushrooms, salmon etc according)
BBQ pork ribs ($19.50)
Pork ribs was pretty tasty and meaty. Packed with favors, not bad.
Assorted sausages ($9.50)
Nothing super good for me to rave about. I don't really appreciate the sauce that came with them though.
Cowboy wings ($7.50)
Ate only half because it comes in 5.
It's a must try dish on the menu but I can do without it.
Rosemary chicken ($9.50)
Cheesy chicken ($9.50)
Salmon and seafood ($18.50)
Pan fried salmon was again, too cooked. The salmon slice is mad thick and a perfectly grilled piece will melt hearts.
I don't like the calamari. Taste too 'seafood' to me. I know it IS seafood but I don't like how raw it smell.. Or taste. I don't know how to bring this across sigh I hope you get my point. Only 2 pieces anyway.
Prawns were okay, the usual translucent shrimps, I love.
Placed all the dishes in the middle to share
Really inexpensive place but there ain't anything I like a lot. Once is enough.
Done with wine and walking dead. Time to snooze!
Happy Christmas Eve humans!
