just came back from the airport with my mum, was there to send papa off to cheng du. he's going there for charity and will be living in temples in mountain ranges, and eating vegetarian for the next seven days. wonder when will i get the chance to do that, bet it'll be tough.
anyways, i have been going out every single day and i'm so tired. decided to stay home today and attempt to bake macarons, and maybe dinner outside tonight. bought i love macarons book with teresa last thursday, and hopefully the macarons today turn out decent. apparently no one gets it right the first few tries, so i'm just hoping for decent ones.
went shopping with teresa at orchard on thursday, finally get to meet the busy girl. she's so busy helping out her sister at a new manicure parlour located at holland village. checked out bags and watches but didn't see anything i like. sigh, why is it so hard to find the right stuff when i want to buy them?! anyways, we went for afternoon tea at paragon's canele when our legs start to get tired. really lost our stamina to shop, as compared to secondary school days.
sweet crepe- exotique. caramelised banana, chocolate sauce, passionfruit banana sorbet, vanilla tuile and vanilla creme chantilly.
classic french style pancake served with salad. paris ham, emmental cheese and sunny side up.
i had rose tea and it wasn't nice. same goes for teresa's watermelon tea, it was so sour. don't get their tea, try TWG!
but a definite must try are their macarons! we had caramel, rose and passionfruit chocolate. i love the caramel ones the best. i think its due to the fillings, very sweet and nougat-y. in fact, canele's caramel macarons are better than pierre herme's, i'm not kidding! thanks to rachel, i got the pleasure to try pierre herme's yesternight when i collected them from her house (flown all the way from london). but the rest of the flavours were way better than canele's. :) continued shopping till the clock strike 7, and off i went to meet ming de for dinner at crystal jade. it was such a joke, i told him crystal jade la mian xiao long bao, and he ended up in crystal jade palace. so we were waiting for each other in 2 different restaurants! had a real quick dinner as he was late and we were rushing off to lido for inception at 8.30pm.
never like lido theaters, they are all so small and old. only LIDO 1 is good, and thank god the movie was screened there. it was so big and all seats were filled, none were vacant. the movie was really good and i like the ending especially, it leaves you wondering. but honestly, i didn't understand the movie totally, prolly just 60%. definitely need to re-watch it to understand the whole show. it's like, dream into dream into dream into dream. great film, it really reminds me of shutter island though, sends the same kind of creep. must watch k!

i had a dream last night.
