Weekend Affair

Is it just me or is everyone else is super busy too.. sometimes at the back of my mind i know i hv a little time at night to update my blog but when the time comes i never seems to be able to do that..

Its been a couple of days since the last time i slept at midnight.. i hv been sleeping at 3am every night and waking up early.. my body is tired but my mind says that i'm not..

We had a pretty relaxing weekend.. we spend the whole day outside yesterday going fm one place to another.. christmas decorations are up everywhere we go and its the time of the year where Rima will go thru some kinda hormonal change hahaha.. i will be a year older next month and am looking forward to that.. maybe this year there will be two prezzies under our tree?? hahaha.. last year if u remember i got a big one fm Mr LV which i bought while in Paris.. this year there will be no year end Paris trip but am looking forward to another one mid of January next year!! yayyy.. tickets hv been booked.. hotels hv been confirmed and guess who is coming with us this time round?? :op Hairi will get the chance to finally see some jolies filles Francaises...

So anyway lets not get too excited abt my upcoming trip.. hows the weekend everyone?? we had a superb one especially today.. we didnt even bother to go anywhere.. stayed indoors.. it was raining non stop and we loved it! i went to get a few baking stuff yesterday and as usual i will stop by phoon huat and sun lik to replenish my baking stock.. as always at phoon huat i was greeted nicely by the ppl there.. at sun lik.. grrr the usual Mrs Wong was busy in her office and the one that was behind the counter was her rude hb.. i dont want to dwell over it but he pissed me off yesterday that finally i said something that world shouldnt hear lol.. oh well.. he deserved it!

Ok ok.. i dont want to spoil my fab mood today by thinking abt yesterday's incident.. heres the pics taken at our new chill out place with Sonia ..



Love the area.. so calm and quiet.. even the squirrel didnt notice that we were there... makes u feel as though you were not in Singapore lol.. reminds hb of his childhood days where his parents used to live for 16yrs at 309 Tanglin Road.. huhu.. i also want to stay in one of those black and white houses .. gulp.. ha!



Rochester Park.. we went to The Playhouse - they hv an indoor playground and ur kid can play in there for a fee of cos.. i think Sonia likes it there cos their play area is slightly bigger then go go Bambini.. no slides or what so ever.. just lots of toys for girls and boys..



The cafe was a little disappointing tho.. yes their indoor setting is nice tho - not as warm and welcome like PS cafe.. the scones didnt taste like scones.. more like bread lol.. the coffee and mocha tasted nice tho we much prefer our coffee in cafe Baviamo.. overall i wud probably still prefer to take Sonia to Go Go Bambini since its so closer to everything else..

There are a few restaurants around there and the one that caught my eyes was ... with an open concept kitchen.. woot woot... its da Paolo Bistro Bar in case anybody is wondering.



Pleaseeeeee pretty pleaseeeeeeeeee.. if we do move.. can i hv a kitchen that looks exactly like this.. open concept .. totally outdoor and built me a room next to it in case i'm too lazy to walk to our house muahahhaa - a woman can only dream ey :op

Hie kak rima!! Ive always been a secret admirer to ur blog and ur bakes!! And my 1st time leaving a comment n hope u dont mind... Hehe.. All this while, i always go to phoon huat.. But last thursday i went to Sun Lik for d first time. But i dont feel welcome.... But nevertheless, i walked out with a smilr coz i got my valrhona choc.. Heheh.. Anyways, salam perkenalan...

Rima said...

Seri
lahhh why nak mind pulak.. mak suka!! hahaha

Ah kann.. tak tahu apasal lah.. memang kalau tak kerana ku nak cari something kat sana.. tak ingin ku nak gi sana lagi lah.. hb dia tu i think selalu datang bulan tak.. 365 days a year.. eh except waktu kedai dia tutup every sunday! haha

u buy valrhona fm BIY lagi murah but kan they only sells it in 1kg pack.. if u nak smaller pack.. buy it fm Kitchen capers also got

muna mahdzar-fadaaq said...

I love the kitchen too!!
Plus, kalau malas nak masak I can use excuses like "I tak boleh pergi ke dapur sebab hujan/panas/ribut/snow.... {insert evil laugh}

xoxo

Seri Dewi said...

Ok kak!! Thanks!! Ure really my inspiration to baking... Honest!! Sometimes, i wish i could belajar direct from u seh kak... Hehe... :p

Rima said...

Muna
muahahahhah itew excuse yg munasabah but kan ade satu benda yg tak shiok lah outdoor kitchen cam gitu.. harus selalu pakai bra walau pun hanya nak ke dapur mencari cemilan hahaha

Err kalau dah malam.. mati kutu tak kan ku pergi ke dapur ku.. serammmm hahaha

Rima said...

Seri
Ni kira also belajar direct what.. direct fm ur monitor screen hehehe

muna mahdzar-fadaaq said...

That's so funny... yes, one more excuse to add to the list " I tak boleh masak sebab I tak pakai bra!!!"

Hi Rima,
When I was in Spore the other day and went to Sun Lik( your recommendation..lol!),The wife ada sikit lebih but the hubby was extremely nice pulak.Maybe that day, the wife yg datang bulan kot?..hehehe
I too would love the open concept design..but living in NZ I think I'll probably be in a parka 24/7...sejuk wooo and like you say, bra will have to be terlekat kat dada 24/7 too...and in my case panties also..hahaha.Tak kuasa makcik!

Rima
Open kitchen mengundang beruk dan monyet from nearby 'hutan'. Tak sanggup. Do you know that beruk suka kat pempuan?? I mean when females shoo them away, lagilah dia datang lebih dekat. Fakta nih tak bedek :-)

Psst.. I have found a new cafe selling the best scones in town.

Rima said...

Muna
Hehehe biasa lah kan.. tak kan nak pakai coli 24/7 - pengsan! haha

Rima said...

Shereen
Muahahha oleh kerana harus pakai coli and seluar kecik 24/7 maka makcik dengan rela hati tak nak open concept kitchen tu. haha

I recommended cos they hv stuff that sometimes tempat lain tak de... they take turn agaknye.. ok tdy u will be the ruder one! :o(

Rima said...

CS
I tahu tu fm my experience.. u remember our old house?? kan dekat dgn reservoir.. byk monyet merayau rayau.. got one time ni i kat living room.. then bila gi dapur ade monyet kat dalam dapur i duduk kat atas cabinet i pulak tengah curi keropok jepun!!! bila i shoo dia.. dia makin dekat pulak.. dah tu i lari pi tingkat dua my house.. after half an hr si monkey tu boleh bertenggek kat atas pagar my belakang rumah and tengok kan kita yg kat dalam dapur.. dia senyum kan kita pulak!! dalam hati dia.. ahhh now siapa yg jadi monyet kat kandang?? aku kat luar.. engkau stuck indoor with doors and window closed hahaha - ish cerita pasal monyet kat rumah lama ku memang tak leh habis one.. macam macam cerita!

Share lah where is the best scones in town.. i will be heading to KL in two weeks time.. i also wants to go there cik som cos I loveeee scones!
