A day spent, Just Like (in) Heaven...

Once again the slacker never fail to live up to his name. Was given two days off this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. So I wasted no time in planning where to go.

The princess wanted to go Millenia Walk to visit Candy Empire. We were not disappointed there. In that shop which spans 3 shop space, there are rows and rows of every kind of sweets, chocolate and biscuits. Besides the huge amout of candies available, another impressive aspect of the shop to note is that there are also many different kinds of the same candy available as well. For example, for jelly beans, you have exotic flavours such as 'toasted marshmallow', 'popcorn', 'root beer', 'caribbean blast', 'strawberry cheesecake', 'banana split', etc. The lists of weirdly cool stuff goes on. Being the sweet tooth dude, I bought lost of things and we ended up spending a small fortune (the stuff sold are really not cheap) there.



Our first stop- Candy Empire!!! Bwahahaha...


A Dentist's nightmare- Check out all the colourful sweets!


We only bought ONE bag of tidbits...


Taa-Daa... The stuff that's in the bag... Lotsa jellibeans!!!


The Princess enjoying the cheese whiz biscuit snack...

Managed to catch the movie Just Like Heaven @ GV Marina. A perfect show for couples! There were lots of romantic and comical scenes, my kind of movie. Resse Witherspoon was so hilarious in the show. Lots of heart warming scenes too. Catch it if you have not cos Harry Potter is already out! And bring a partner (opposite sex only please) along. Serious. Whee. As we bought the tickets way too early, we managed to get the couples' seat at the back row right smack in the middle! How lucky can I get. Together with my nachos cheese and a large cup of ice lemon tea, it was the PERFECT movie outing.

We then went to Esplanade since it was just nearby. I wanted to do justice on the previous posts and include pictures so you all know what I was so vaguely describing the last time. It was a much better visit than last time as there were less people on weekdays. I was able to trigger happy my olympus without much obstructions this time. We revisited Asia Pop exhibition and took lots of pictures. The exhibits are so colourful and bright one might think they are made up of sugar and colourings. Hahaha.


Our next stop the Esplanade! Decorated ceilings full of hanging weirdo lanterns.


We visited Asia Pop again! Which I so lousily described a couple of posts back. The princess loves the giant lolli-pop like sign board.


I've always wanted to be a trishaw rider...


A humongous pair of colourful chopsticks!


Outside Esplanade- The gorgeous hanging lights. I've always had a soft spot for hanging lights. So Christmas-lish!


The "huge piece of artwork on the floor" as mentioned previously.


Kitty break! I put that in just for fun. The new cat on da block.

We were all still quite full from lunch so we decided to settle on something 'light' for dinner. The 'light' item turned out to be Chocolate Fondue! After recceing the 3 different shops that offer fondues, we in the end settled for the Hagan Daz one. That is because the other 2 shops, Max Brenner's Chocolate Cafe and Chocz, do not offer ice cream with their fondues. It's also boring just to eat fruits dipped in chocolate alone. For a fondue for two at Hagan, each person receives 12 small scoops of rock frozen ice cream, a small serving of fruits and crushed nuts. We had to polish off the ice cream rather fast in order to not let it melt. The ice cream is so cold that when dipped into the melted chocolate, the chocolate just freezes on the ice cream! Just dip the ice cream into the cup of nuts and pop it into your mouth. Heavenly.


Ok. Back to business. Our fondue!!!! Yummy.


I shamelessly attacked it first. Woohoo!


In less than 30 mins...


The last spoonful of melted chocolate is in my hands!!!

On our way back we passed by a mini art exhibition from Esplanade en route to city link mall. Here are some of the 'artwork' on display. Bleargh. No wonder they are not displayed in Esplanade itself. Hehehe. Evil me.


Coloured torsos. Eek. The things they call art.


And a wall paper full of em!!!


A miniature figurine cut out of cardboard on real sands. There were many of them on display! Real cute.


More red torsos!!!

Once again the week flew past real quick. And it's almost Sunday already. Hahaha. Hope you people had as good a week as I did.
