zuanqing extraordinaire

Whew! It's been a while since my last post here. I see cobwebs everywhere haha. So I've had my first semester of school done and completed. Results came out last week and I am super pleased to announce that I am a …. *drumroll* first class honors student! Haha. Managed to get H1s for all my four subjects - and that's equivalent to first class honors. Never imagined myself to be doing so well but I guess the hard work and effort I've put into attending every single class, always trying to contribute in classes, and the tremendous amount of research I do for all my essays have paid off. Of course I cannot forget about the support and love I received from my beloved friends who have been encouraging me and praying for me unceasingly. So much love there I can't even. x

Happily on winter break now and had a super smashing vacay with my dearest and closest who specially planned a surprise trip to Melbourne for my birthday. Well, it WAS meant to be a surprise till I spoilt it by booking air tix home for the holiday right after they booked their tix to Melbourne. So frantic were they to find out their I was planning to extend my stay in sg that they spilled everything to me when we met up in sg and thus I decided to fly back earlier than planned so that we would all be in Melbs at the same time when they arrive. How sweet are these friends! I feel so supremely blessed and undeserving and I thank God for them and their unconditional love towards me.

That said, we had an awesome 9.5 days together traveling around Melbs, Tassie and ending the trip in Sydney. Since I am on holiday now and super free (been doing nothing but sleep, eat, and marathon-ing Masterchef online - how can a cooking show be so exciting and emotional!?) I have decided to revive this dusty blog with my Oz adventures I had with some of my best friends.

To kick it off, here's a video I compiled of the memorable times we had over the 9.5 days. I hope you enjoy it (whoever you are)!

Yesterday I had a super good brunch with my cousin + cousin-in-law as well as Wyman who was my emcee partner for Gary&Felicia's wedding! (My cousin & cousin-in-law respectively)


Despite being on the pricey side, I have to say the food quality does justification to the prices. 

It was my second visit to this particular outlet since my first visit in Feb 2012 and it is still as crowded as ever. However the staff was quite attentive and we waited a reasonable amount of time for our food on a crowded Sunday. I never had a chance to visit the outlet at Mandarin Gallery cos that outlet does not take reservations and you have to be prepared for a long wait for a table especially during peak hours.

Plus - you can make reservations online for the Scotts outlet via chope.com.sg (http://reserve.chope.com.sg/?rid=wildhoney78bbvza-4)  which is so convenient! Although I did encounter some problems trying to do it and I ended up calling the restaurant directly instead -_-



Funny thing was there was this lady who was obviously having a hen's celebration cos she had a tiara and sash. But in the middle of the day at 2 in the afternoon at an all-day breakfast restaurant!? First time witnessing that. 

Felicia had the English breakfast which was the full works with eggs (scrambled), sausages, toast and stuff. Char had that the previous time I went and I remembered it to be so-so only. I would recommend that you skip the ordinary items (like eggs ben and big breakfast) and try their other dishes with twists to the conventional ones that you can find in most other places. (like my Parmesan crumbed poached egg - so good!)

It was a splendid time catching up though poor Wyman was prolly trying to catch up with all the gossip we were exchanging about our family members hahaha. 

I would go back to Wild Honey again. (Only when I'm feeling rich and with money to spare haha)

Yay I blogged! -pat on the back- you go Gina.
