A Taste of Apartment Living

 

Apartment living is extremely expensive here, I'm sure we can all agree. That being said, I think having a taste of living alone / with a partner is always a good starting base to getting your own place. It enlightens you on the daily habits of each other, how we throw our clothes around, how we clean up the dirty crumbs on the table surface or how we can't stand mess on the kitchen counter. Matching up to each other's messiness is so important! (well, that's if you get past all the snoring going on in the bedroom too 😂)

 

 

Decided to give Pan Pacific Serviced Apartments a go cos we have been trying to find a space to cook steak in for a while. I can't cook anything moo-related at home cos it's not allowed. So yes, to finding alternative solutions. After my doctor's appointment in the morning (which was way overdued), we ventured down to the Fairprice Finest at Zhongshan mall to source for ingredients and may I just add that, that Fairprice was so huge and tidy and had so many different options!

Here's the menu for the night:-

It was quite a spread & everything on/at that table was so scrumptious. YUM!

Managed to wolf down everything which was quite a feat. I was quite impressed that Pan Pac actually also provided us table mats! I like setting the table with table mats cos I feel like it just adds to the meal experience somehow.

 

Caught the very first Ironman movie post-dinner (& did you know that 10 rings was mentioned in that movie?!) and had a really good breakfast before checking out of the place. If you are driving, they also come with free parking. The apartment itself was also a great size and I would def revisit again.

Hope you guys had a great weekend too!

Hitting Milestones

Spent an off day a while ago and finally treated ourselves to Bedrock's steak after talking about it for oh-soo-lonngggg. It's still hands down one of my fav steak places in the city albeit on the pricey side. Book yourselves in for a lunch cos it's def way more value for money that way. I also finally got to try their famous Mac & Cheese and it's seriously delightful. *chef's kiss*

Do you guys treat yourselves to expensive meals often? I feel that I tend to only allow myself to have more indulgence in food when it comes to traveling, simply cos I give myself slightly more financial leeway on things I consume and body digest. It's for the experience after all I would say.

Also, celebrating the fact that I've managed to hit certain milestones early on this year and finally digging my hands into the Cartier pieces that I've been saving aside till that happens. This year has seen me spending on fine jewellery pieces that I know I will have for many years to come and I'm ecstatic about them! (I always need a reason to treat myself haha)

Lately, I've also been rethinking certain friendships I've been having. After 3 decades of being on Earth, it is amazing that I am still learning to decipher who are your friends and who are not; and also being "scolded" by true friends for letting people step all over me and not daring to voice out my thoughts. I think over the years, I have learnt that friendships, similar to relationships, aren't perfect all the time and if I am not comfortable with a particular thing, I want to believe that my friendship with someone else is able to withstand me sitting the person down and sharing my thoughts vice versa. It should not come from a bad place and that we share our likes and dislikes because we care about the other party.

If a person does not know who you truly are as a person after all these years, given that you never changed at all, then I suppose it is a sign that they never knew all along. & as much as it is upsetting and difficult, maybe sometimes it is just better to let things go and keep the good memories.

Depressing things aside, we are now on to the last quarter of the year! Can you believe it? Also, they have just announced Vaccinated Travel Lanes to so many countries and it feels kinda surreal that we are allowed to travel again. It's truly been a hot minute wow. Are you guys making any travel plans yet? If so, where area you all heading to?

Share them with me!
