A smile is the curve that sets everything straight.
Give a little time, have a little faith.

Chay's advanced 23rd birthday celebration.
Horrible Bosses 2 x Platypus Lobster Shack x Madame Patisserie x Chasing Cab
A Saturday full of running errands before I met up with the girls for the simple birthday celebration but hey, at least we'd unknowingly fulfilled C's desire to try the lobster rolls over at Platypus Lobster Shack (She mentioned to another friend of hers the night before and yeah, that's called telepathy. HA).

Horrible Bosses 2
Horrible Bosses 2 is obviously a sequel of the 1st film but seriously, knowing that I'd caught the first part previously (which was eon years ago), I seriously had forgotten everything about it. Who the hell release the sequeal 3 years later?! Anyhow, it certainly did make us chuckle a few times tho.

Platypus Lobster Shack
Then, as mentioned, we headed to somewhere near China Square, where this whole alley is filled with bars/eateries, like a smaller scale of Boat quay, for our dinner at Platypus Lobster Shack!
Truth to be told, I was kinda stoked to try the lobster rolls, after reading the reviews online, and the pictures people posted... Although it might be only just the normal hotdog bun, in this case, filled with lobster cubes and some seasoning/sauces, at least it's something new in... Singapore, and probably worth a try, right?
So, we ordered 3 different flavours and we didn't even share it amongst ourselves HAHAHA whut the hell, and ordered... The Crustacean Bowl which is higly raved by many. Oh, all the lobster rolls look the same, it's kinda tough to differentiate them on our own.
All lobster rolls can be ordered with (S$22.90) or without set (S$19.90), and the set includes a side salad, and chips drizzled with truffle oil.
C's Lobster Roll:
Spicy Roasted Garlic
(Butter-poached lobster meat, roasted garlic flakes, mayonnaise, chili, garlic)
Shini's Lobster Roll:
The Traditional
(Butter-poached lobster meat, roasted garlic mayonnaise, chives, sea salt)
My Lobster Roll:
Spicy Diablo
(Butter-poached lobster meat, home-made mayonnaise, piquant garlic, spice)
For this, I guess the only difference is... It has a hinge of spiciness, like some red-pepper powder...
Our Starter:
Crustacean Bowl
Uni-creme, butter-poached lobster, Japonica rice, honey ponzu, caviar, char-grilled cheddar cheese, sesame, chervil (the char-grilled cheddar cheese makes it tastes like the sauce drizzled on top of the Shiok Maki from Koh Grill & Sushi Bar).
The truffle chips certainly win over the tastebuds of the two girls but I'd still prefer my truffle fries omg, my undying love for potato...
8/10 people say we look alike.
Even the girl herself, saying she looks like me.
(Too much time to spare while waiting for Platypus Lobster Shack to open)
Single/ Unsure about the availability.

Room for Dessert
(Actually,we were sourcing out to find a place for dessert so C could get an advanced b'day cake)
& then, Shini led us around like idiots, walking from one point to another, from China Square to Raffles to the alley behind Boat Quay then returned back to Boat Quay for pretty MEDIOCRE cakes at Madame Patisserie (explains why the place was empty...).
Although the desserts kinda sucked but we had absolute fun exploring Shini's new phone, AKA the Sony Z3? The one which claims to have the highest rating for its waterproof capability and the camera has so many functions, as though you are using a compact camera but iPhone 6 still beats it hands down. WOOHOOOO
Madame Patisserie, Boat Quay
See, I told you iPhone 6 takes nice picture even with its secondary camera!

Chasing Cab
Yes, you read that right.
People would be chasing stars but it's not the case for us.
Long day, late night, C was screaming for a cab home instead of the public transport. So, we were all trying to hail the cab opposite Boat Quay but you know, it's always jinxed. For wherever you are, the cabs just seem to be at the opposite side of the road instead.
We headed down all sides of a T-Junction to hail a cab and unknowingly, we tried our luck right in front of Supreme Court HAHAHA whutttttt the hell, until the Cisco security guard approached us and informed that we cannot hail a cab there... The policewoman in our group actually... Brought us there and right before we were in front of Supreme court, we all were actually chasing a cab that was going towards that direction.
How retarded.
Anyhow, we still manged to got onto a cab 'cos it stopped right in front of us, at the red light hahahaha, otherwise we could have needed to queue at an offcial cab stand (with quite a bit of people) for god knows how long.

A short Sunday update.
SCMS 2014.
Shini had to change her shift with a colleague so she could not make it down together with me as erm... Supporter for the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2014.
The initial plan was to head over to ECP at their halfway mark and get ice-creams for my peeps but hahaha my sense of direction, especially at the East is horrendous (and that's 'cos Shini was unable to go with me) so I ended up going to the finishing point which was at The Padang to wait for my friends.
The moment I met them, also came across a few juniors as well, I felt so proud and acomplished for them. I've stopped running full marathon 3 years ago because, why spend such a hefty sum to torture your legs (like, I am not those who would run long distance consistently, the pair of legs are totally not seasoned for races like this).
For that 3 years, after the each completion of my full marathon, I would feel ever so proud of myself, despite the timing was so shitty but still, I freaking completed 42.195km with just both of my legs man.
It's not about the running or walking, it's about completing. As long as you don't give up, victory will be yours and destination will be reached.
So, really...
Kudos to the runnners upon their completion of the marathons (in whatever distance they participated for) and I hope the running desire will not dies off.
Xx
Oh hello, there!
