Sweet & Savoury Treats

Nothing beats a nice meal or snack whenever there is a chance to have one. Over the past fortnight, I have tasted several sweet & savoury treats on several occasions and I am delighted to share them with you.
Squarish pizza @ Dome for lunch with a friend.
Traditional beer-battered fish & chips @ Blue Reef for dinner with hubby.
Peppermint mocha frappucino @ Starbucks for after-work coffee break with hubby.
...And finally, 2 adorable J.CO donuts for my much-awaited teatime later! It's been more than 2 years since I got my hands on these sweet treats, believe not! :)

Haircut & Having A Break


It's yet another public holiday for me, the last one being a mere 2 days ago. I love public holidays as we get a breather from work to do something we like for a change, like, a shopping trip, or staying in bed late and refusing to get up in the early hours of a workday morning. ;)

I had a chance to treat my hair for a much-needed haircut and a scalp treatment today, it took me 2 hours of sitting patiently in the salon, staring at myself in the long mirror and witnessing the progressive changes of my hair. The senior stylist attending to me was a friendly girl and we chatted amicably, though I am not a talkative person. Managed to get out of the salon with a shorter, lighter hair and a much cleaner scalp.

Lunch was a takeaway from Starbucks where I grabbed a Chicken Toastie & a Tall Chocolate Cream Chip Frappucino. I got a pleasant surprise after being informed by the barista that I have won a complimentary Tall beverage for my next visit: the only catch was to go online and fill up a customer survey, get the complimentary beverage ID at the end of the survey, then show it to the barista on my next visit. And that's it. Lucky me!

I am now having a break at home, in the comfort of my air-conditioned room, gonna curl up in bed with my unfinished chic-lit soon. A few more hours to enjoy before the holiday draws to an end and back to work again tomorrow.
