i got to know today that a very dear friend of mine is having cancer. she took it very calmly and slowly. she teared a little, but other than that, she looked dazed and her usual quiet self. she didn't want to go back home after the results and we (me with 2 other friends) pretending that things were normal, headed for lunch and shopping in orchard. then at one point, she said she wanted to go home. was she beginning to realised that she is ill? i got home after a long chat with one of the other friend and while i was in my room alone, i began to cry. if i was crying, how about her? the friend with cancer. alot must be going through her head...as there were alot going through mine. i wish time could fast forward for me to blog another entry...celebrating the recovery of this very dear friend of mine. i pray.

hong kong hauls

this time shopping in hk seems much more fruitful despite the short trip. it's the season for summer (that means floral) clothes ....these are some of the things i've got!

braided hairband, colored island bracelets and explorer shorts from H&M

my most expensive handbag and it's from Rabeanco. it's calf leather and quite heavy on its own actually. but i love it. we have Rabeanco in Singapore and you can find it in Ion Orchard but it's much more expensive here. in HK, it's tax free and we got a 15% off our purchase (sis got one too)......and we became a member instantly...the small key pouch was free when i purchased my bag!

guess what? paul and joe collaborated with Uniqlo and i've got myself 2 casual tops! didn't see it in singapore though. the top one with green flower motifs and purple ribbons look quite aunty...heh...but i didn't care. there is actually the logo of paul and joe at the back of the top...but no one can see unless i tie my hair up...i'm gonna wear it today...let's see how it turns out..

ahh...this one..is definitely a paul and joe design...nice right?

sis got this pair of electric blue pumps from H&M at a very reasonable price. i actually like it!! heh..didn't get myself a pair.

3-Inch-Sin

it is D's birthday tomorrow, so I thought it'll be nice to find a new dessert place to celebrate his birthday this weekend. and well, to also get both of us excited and in the mood for this new lap of his life. so as i was browsing online in search of a new, good place, i chanced upon the website for 3-Inch-Sin and the best thing is, they serve ONLY our favorite molten cakes and in different flavours!


we went there after lunch today. they are located at cluny court - a place we've visited once or twice but never got to try anything there. 3IS is located at a quiet corner on the 2nd floor. when we were there, it was full, so we left our number for them to call us once there are available seats.it wasn't long before they called us and when we got there, there were no customers left.



As we missed the mini ones on the menu when we ordered (guess we were too excited and jump into the PURPOSE for coming), both of us ordered one original molten cake each. One 3-inch molten cake is $5/- and three mini molten cakes with flavours of your choice is also $5/-. The molten cake was YUMMY! very moist inside and definitely rich!!

We were lucky enough to have a chat with one of the owners, Celine. She sat down telling us more about her journey and on how she got to here today. Celine was once a teacher at Republic Polytechnic teaching Communications and Culture. And one day when she got up from bed, she decided to do something different and signed up for a 9 months course at Cordon Bleu, Bangkok. when she got back to Singapore after that, perhaps while deciding what she wanted to do with her life, she went back to a 9-to-5 job for a year or so before she started 3-inch-sin. together with her brother who handles the financial matters of the business, they started this homely, warm and happy looking dessert place a month back. the molten cakes are made with valrhona chocolate and are freshly baked when you order them. so be patient as it is about a 10 minutes wait for the warm chocolate molten cake to be served fresh from the oven!!

Reservations are allowed and it's a good place to hang out with friends and have dessert over a cup of coffee/tea (or even IBC root bear/coke) and chill out on a lazy quiet sunday afternoon, just like what we did today...!
