Summer's been great although I'm torn between getting a job and bumming around at home. Of course, a little late now because no one is willing to hire a 20-year-old unable to work weekends (because of sailing) and takes a few days of a week (because of the various camps and mock-camps I have to be present for). So, I'm pretty much useless. 

What took place the week before I ferried off to Bintan for a very short getaway: 

It was supposed to be a brunch date with Sherman and Vani at Dempsey Hill but we ended up taking a taxi to the Botanical Gardens, having lunch instead at 1200.

Getting my fix of smoked salmon.

Ending it off with a round of dessert -- good ol' chocolate fudge.

And afterwards -- a short but as-always-lovely catch-up with my girls (and as usual Kelly came running late, literally).

Either I haven't been to Tiong Bahru Bakery in a long time, or they came up with a new Kouign Amann with a chockfull of caramelised apples. Still feels like it could give me diabetes if I had a little more than one whole of it but so, so good.

When Kelly craves local food, she gets local food.

And I finally tried Llao Llao -- not the least overrated, definitely bumped up to my favourite fro-yo (although I wished they had more chairs and tables).
