Had my brunch with one of my primary school friend, Wilson, at Saveur for french cuisine. First time there, so don't know what to order. Was hesitating in between duck or chicken, end up Wilson helped to choose, and he chose duck. He ordered fish as his main, and also Foie Gras as starter for us to share. Non stop catching up while eating, cause he can't tolerate that awkward silence in between the meal.

After brunch, headed back to Bugis Junction for a walk. Went over to Bugis+ as well, and there's some cosplay festival going on. Maybe it's because I'm not a fan of cosplay, I find it kind of disturbing. I mean, yes, there are nice cosplay outfits or there are people who can really bring out the outfit. But, most of the time, I just see disappointment. I just can't understand why some people, just have to make me feel cosplay is disgusting. I know what I'm saying now is mean, but I just don't get it. I know it's good to be a fan of anime or cosplay, but it's way too unpractical! Spending so much money on the costume, then you only get to wear it during such fest, is it worth it? I really don't know man.
Walked around street for a while, and headed over to Sim Lim Square to take bus 23. Wilson headed out to meet friends while I head home.
Met Joseph right after I drop my stuffs. He drove all the way from his place to my place to pick me up for our cafe hop. First stop, we headed to Strangers' Reunion. Being a typical mountain turtle, a frog that lives in a well, it's the first time I go to cafes. As in, dine-in in a cafe. I used to work in a cafe, but never dine in before. So thank god, I've Joseph now, so he can bring me to cafes and try out different cafes.
Joseph made the orders, so we had Buttermilk waffles with Vanilla ice cream and fresh fruits and Mocha for me, while he had latte.
Decoration
Took a photo of their plant decoration that's on our table, because from Instagram, it seems like it's a "must" thing? Like their photos of their ice water bottle, their furniture, their lamps, their plants and etc. Have to 入境隨俗 (follow the tradition). Ahahaha.
MOCHA
a coffee beverage prepared with espresso, chocolate and hot milk
BUTTERMILK WAFFLE w VANILLA ICE CREAM & FRESH FRUITS
After Stranger's Reunion, we drove over to Cineleisure for some shopping session. Reached Cineleisure, accompanied Joseph for his shoe hunt, but sadly, he didn't managed to find shoe he like. He actually ask me whether I would want to go Editor's Market to shop. But I don't shop at Editor's Market, the only time when I went in to walk, is when I'm with my fav girls. He's pretty shock that I don't go there to shop. AHAHAHAH! And Joseph craved for Double Chocolate from Artease. Two regular cups of Double Chocolate, while waiting, he went to buy a new phone casing for himself. Helped him pick on the color, and hope he like it. After purchasing our drinks, we find that we still have spare time before my work, and I need my dinner before work, he decided to bring me to Department of Caffeine.

And coincidentally, I saw my fav giraffe brother at DOC. Did a little catch up with him. HE'S STILL AS TALL AS EVER! Look at the top left photo, that's the height difference! Other two photos, he have to bend down to match that height of mine.
JOSEPH T.
My fav December Sagittarius Baby, my cafe-hop buddy.
Was supposed to head to work, but when I reach my workplace, my manager told me that he don't need staff that night. And he thought I aren't working because b aren't working. So I made a call back to Joseph, and he actually made a u-turn back and bring me out to meet his friends.
We then drove to Woodlands. He picked his friend, gave his car a good bath, and pick another two friends. And they decided to have their dinner at Chompchomp. (Yes, it's my 4th meal, and it's 8pm. First meal with Wilson at 12, Stranger's Reunion at 4, DOC at 6) Because Joseph and I were too full from our meals, we end up sharing a cup of mega sugar cane. (We can't finish a cup on our own for sure)
After chompchomp, I am suppose to meet my clique (Jordy, Tingjun and Afifi) at Swissôtel cause Rahul is having his 21st birthday celebration at New Asia Bar. And Joseph is so sweet that he actually drove and drop me off at Swissôtel before he go for his outing with his friends.
Partied with the clique till nearly 2am, and I headed home.
ME, JORDY G. & TINGJUN O.

That basically sums up my 28th December. Long and awesome day!
