Paddington's House of Pancakes

Paddington bear has nothing to do with this place. In the same spirit of adventure, you can find pancakes from all over the world here and its all delicious. From buckwheat galettes to choc chip pancakes, it isn't just about all day breakfasts with sweet/savory dishes, starters and mains.

 The best reviews are for this Nice crepe, its good.

Favorite order here is Classic Buckleberry, the fluffy pancakes are good.

Realized Benefits from My Sewing Project

This is the realized payoff to sewing all those clothes - salvaging old clothing. Not just changing a broken zip or missing buttons, although those things no longer distress me. Its about making my old clothes still work for me now. 

Clothes with ripped parts (e.g. holes) or stained (e.g. hair dye) get a second lease of life through cutting and re-attaching in new ways. I suggest you collect all discarded items and do it in a single effort, its much easier that way.

Jenny Packham Spring/Summer 2016

UK designer Jenny Packham starts the year off in her signature English Romance look. You often see her clothes on British Roses like the Duchess of Cambridge, her sis Pippa, Cara Delevingne, Emily Blunt and the list goes on.

This season's bridal collection is inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

  Jenny Packham also has a ready-to-wear collection and this season its all about flowers.

PS loves Thursdays!

Every Thursday, Plaza Singapura runs a contest to win CapitaMall vouchers. To enter you have to upload pics on Instagram, hashtag it, facebook tag your friends and all that. I bought my Precious Moments membership just to enter this contest and won the maximum $50 voucher!

Promptly spent it on Build-A-Bear's My Little Pony soft toy. I really couldn't decide between Star Wars, Lalaloopsy or this and it came down to the My Little Pony soundtrack that plays when its cutie mark is pressed.

Revlon Lip Color

My mother's favorite cosmetics brand Revlon, its affordable and dependable.

I picked up something special for her over Christmas - Moisture Stay Lip Color 5 pack + FOC Super Lustrous lipstick. It's supposed to be the most hydrating and nourishing product for the lips, of course the slim gold packaging and mentholated formula doesn't hurt. This version is exclusive to airports duty free counters, part of Revlon's Unforgettable Journeys series.

Revlon's latest product is ColorStay Moisture Stain, that lipstick + lipgloss combination we all love in YSL Vernis a Levres.

Momiji Shabu Shabu

Momiji is a Japanese buffet restaurant, and this particular branch does only Shabu Shabu (hotpot). While waiting for the food to cook, we helped ourselves to sushi, seafood bar and crispy fried foods.

I like the rustic charm of this place that lays out all vegetables, fish cakes and noodles in baskets and wooden crates.

You can choose different soup bases but the collagen broth is a crowd pleaser and everyone is having this.

Shabu Shabu meat layed out nicely for everyone to take.

Save room for desserts as there is a waffle station! Indulge in traditional Japanese mochi or Chinese sweet soups, in addition to cakes, ice cream, eclairs.

Joash is Married!

My other male cousin got hitched just before year end. Big reception @church and even bigger dinner @FortCanning spread out over 3 days.

I wore 2015 Pantone colour of the year - Marsala, in a Dorothy Perkins lace dress and Burberry beauty bloomsbury bag.

 

In car selfie, I tried out Urban Decay's eye primer for the first time, that's why my eyelids look soo white. It looks totally natural on camera but I used a ton of eyeshadow on my entire lid that night. To go along with the metallic sheen from my eyeshadow, I used Benefit watt's up as base, Bodyshop's cranberry perfume blush (for the festive season) and Laniege shiny water lipgloss that is the closest thing I have to lipstick.

Wedding dinner was @ Legends Fort Canning, really cosy especially with Christmas decorations up all over the place. The entrance is opposite YWCA, where the carpark with tourist buses are at. If you are arriving via public transport, there is a walk up path next to the mall.

Fried horderves and drinks in the reception, I was pretty full even before dinner started (the bridal party and family had Old Chang Kee snacks before reception started).

Some pics of the food, didn't get all as I was too busy eating.

Champagne toast to the newly wedded couple, the bride wore this really gorgeous blush gown in sequins/beads/flowers.

I drank coca-cola. After the dinner I saw this at the bar, all the empty bottles of wine consumed. I guess everyone didn't want to drink too much, the carparks here are pretty narrow.
