The weekend has been crazy, that's the best summary I will give.
From Friday that I picked my Bumpy up from Pasir Ris till now, I think I have been having too much fun and a little too little sleep. Hahah.
We started with family dinner on Friday night with his family, simple yong tau fu and yes I am exploring more areas of Toa Payoh. Kind of an achievement for me since I barely touched much of Toa Payoh and it's always fun to explore the hawker food around Singapore.
Soon, Bumpy and I shall venture out towards hawker food (when our wallet is broke).

At night we had a birthday celebration to attend, so we headed down to MBS. Whoohoo. Honestly, I never been inside MBS rooms before, so it's kinda exciting to see how the view like (most importantly) and also how the room likes. And just maybe a year down in future or more, maybe book a room to stay there overnight and swim in the infinity pool.
Till then, I have my mind set on Studio M first.

No pictures of the birthday celebration though. Wasn't that close to the birthday boy and I'm there as my Bumpy's girlfriend. Though we had fun playing SMELLY WOMBAT. Hahah. And it's just funny how I stare too intensely at the cards. Guess I can't do any poker face or anything, or focus on two things at once.
How to play smelly wombat?
There has to be even number of players in the game and each player will have their partner sitting opposite them. Each player will be given 4 cards and the aim is to get 4 of the same number to win. Once everyone have their cards, the dealer deal out another 4 cards to place in the middle and that's when the madness begins.
Everyone would grab the cards that they want, in exchange of the cards that they don't want. And this goes on until someone have their winning cards. Now here the fun part. You can't let anyone know that you have the winning cards. Only your partner have to know through a special signal that you have between you two, and once your partner shout WOMBAT, you both win! But if you do the special signal and your partner didn't notice the signal but someone else does, they will shout SMELLY WOMBAT and you both lost.
Sound fun?

And I realize that outings with Bumpy never result me in over drinking or even me getting overly tipsy. Which is a super good thing 'cause he is helping me drink on my behalf. Although that mean drinking double but it also mean I get home in a good state of mind and not reek of alcohol.
And best of all, I don't get a bad hangover the next day.
Sensible drinking.

Instead, we headed up to the observation desk of MBS for the perfect night view of Singapore.

And well, we can't only take pictures of the scenery alone. There has to be people in the picture too right?

One thing you really detest about taking night pictures is the horrible lightning. It's either too dark or too bright. So hard to get the right brightness out without the use of flash.
So we kind of spend an hour upstairs with pictures taking, trying to get the right setting, the right exposure, and well, eventually no flash was used, and we used iphone torch light instead to get the brightness out, and also to set the iso a little.
Well, another reason to say I need to use my camera more. And not just leave it at home half of the time but actually learn how to take nice pictures with it.

But well, we celebrated the start of our third monthsary with a beautiful night view, and pictures taking.
A moment I don't want to forget.

Eventually after the party ended, and friends went different ways. Some wanted to drink, some wanted to head home, and some wanted to head to Pasir Ris for the next birthday celebration the next day.
For both of us, we wanted to eat!
And finally, like finally, Bumpy is bringing me to Swee Choon, after the countless times of me asking him to go with me. Super happy when he finally agreed!

We ordered about less than 10 dishes, mainly 'cause we weren't that hungry but still wanted something to eat. Some of the items that we ordered include: Char siew bao, Siew mai, Salted egg custard buns, Red bean pancake and carrot cake!
To finally try Swee Choon, I wasn't sure to be disappointed or like hmmm!
For one, I didn't enjoy the char siew bao at all. And for me, it's a super big deal 'cause I'm a big fan of char siew bao. So that's strike one down.
But to mke up for it, the custard bun was  not too bad, good flowing salted egg custard inside and it's good.
The carrot cake is awesome as well, crispy on the outside and nice chewy on the inside.
The siew mai also is not bad, though it was weird that it was served on metal plate instead of the usual. Though it's still not bad, but the presentation of the dishes wasn't that nice.
Overall, I might return back here again if I'm in the area but maybe not specifically.
Next place to try; 126!

Awesome fun yet tiring night. And I reckon during the supper/early breakfast eating time, we were both super tired and can almost doze off while eating. Hahah!
Every weekend my Bumpy is still guilty of sending me home late. Hahha. K.O. the moment I hit the bed. Too exhausted and needed strength for the next day.

Too much eating and travelling in a day. And it's a good thing it's only the weekend that I'm up that late so I have the weekday to regenerate my strength.
