Give Angeline the VIP card!

Angeline thinks she can jolly well go and apply for Cafe Cartel' VIP card (if there's any). Angeline has been dinning at Cafe Cartel over the weekend and on Monday with Ck.

Being a true Singaporean, Angeline and Ck took some slices of the (free-flow) bread while waiting for their main course. Honestly, this was Angeline's first attempt at slicing the bread at the board. Angeline don't think she will try it again. After the tedious attempt, Angeline took a mini-cup of olive oil for the bread to share with Ck. As Angeline sat down, Ck rose up from his seat to get another mini-cup of olive oil. Not enough meh?

This triggered Angeline's memory of this particular incident. As mentioned, Angeline met the Ngs for breakfast at Cafe Cartel. Raymond volunteered to get the bread for the girls. As Pauline likes to dip her bread in olive oil, Raymond remember to get a mini-cup half full of olive oil for her. When Pauline saw the amount of olive oil, she gestured to Raymond that it was not enough. Therefore, Raymond walked back to the bread station and he returned with the whole bottle of olive oil for Pauline. Maybe Angeline should do the same to Ck too?


Angeline would recommend the Cartel's Pan Fried Macaroni for spicy food lovers. Angeline doesn't really like macaroni and thus she changed it to spaghetti. Well, Angeline thinks that it tasted as good (if not better). However, it was a little too spicy for Angeline and she shared a third of the portion with Ck. Ck's Grilled Chicken was equally appetizing and Angeline was more than happy when Ck shared with her.


For all Citibank cardholders, there is a 15% discount for any dine-in at Cafe Cartel. Prehaps Cafe Cartel should consider hiring Angeline as a spokeperson.

Massive shopping after dinner! Angeline got a cocktail dress from Mphasis, Royal Herbal Jelly Foundation from Skin Food, Make-up pouch + eyelasher curler + lip gloss from SaSa.

Angeline is broke, so is Ck. Ok, maybe not Ck, BUT definitely Angeline.

Angeline and Breakfast?

The 2 words doesn't go together. Angeline doesn't take breakfast now, what's more on a Saturday morning when she can sleep till it is time for lunch.

However, Angeline had a date with someone special and she made the extra effort to wake up earlier. Oh well, she just made it in time for brunch. The special one is not Ck. Besides, Angeline doesn't think Ck is keen to wake up early on a Saturday morning and come all the way to accompany Angeline to eat breakfast.

The special one has a nickname (given by Angeline) known as 'Precious'. She is Angeline's ex-student from Etonhouse. Precious was not exactly in Angeline's class, but she was taken care by Angeline during evening duties for the 2 years that Angeline was in Etonhouse. Since then, they have been very close. Despite Angeline has moved onto a new career, they are still in touch. Therefore, Angeline will like to thank Pauline (Precious's mama). If not, how otherwise can a 4 years old meet Angeline at IMM's Cafe Cartel for breakfast?

Angeline was super excited about this gathering because she was meeitng the new memeber of Precious's family for the first time. She is called Geraldine (Precious's new born sister).

Angeline has been a faithful reader of Pauline's blog and she keeps herself updated with their updates. From the photographs posted on the blog, Geraldine looks big. In reality, Geraldine is NOT that big. You have to see to understand. Despite so, Geraldine is a strong baby, she doesn't need much support for her neck and you can just lift her up and her head won't tilt backwards. Impressive eh!!! Well, at least Angeline is impressed.

Breakfast was agreed at Cafe Cartel. It was Angeline's first time patronizing Cafe Cartel for breakfast. Prehaps, Angeline will go again if she ever manage to wake up in time. That means Angeline likes the food there la. What's more the prices are reasonable, they are similar to that of MacDonald's.

Nothing really change. Precious is still as *tweet* as Angeline can remember. She will still look at Angeline and say, "I love you, Ms Angeline." To which, Angeline couldn't help teasing her by asking, "How much?" Without a second thought, Precious would stretch out her hands far apart and reply, "This much." *tweet* as not?

I'm Lovin' It!

Angeline and Ck went to catch Chronicles of Narnia (Prince Caspian) at Great World City. Generally, Angeline likes to watch movies at that place. First, the entrance is the exit, therefore Angeline doesn't have to walk one big round to get back to the shopping mall when she leaves the cinema. Second, Great World City is not as crowded as the rest of the cinemas in Singapore, therefore Angeline doesn't have to squeeze in the crowd with strangers.

As the movie would start at only 12.15am (fliter another 20 minutes for commericals and previews), Angeline and Ck have another 2 hours to spare before it starts. As TCC was still under renovation, Angeline and Ck only had Mac Cafe as their option before they entered the cinema. Angeline supposed that a White Chocolate Raspberry Cake and Mango Smoothie would be enough to entertain them for 2 hours.

Ck was more than happy to spend 2 hours reading his novel, whereas Angeline got restless and started playing with her phone after 1 hour. Other than snapping here and there, Angeline has nothing to entertain herself practically.

Thankfully (fortunately for Ck), the snapping here and there was good enough to occupy Angeline for another hour. Angeline was looking forward to the movie, as she had enjoyed the first. Naturally, she has presumed the second one would be good as well.

True enough, Prince Caspian was as good as (if not better than) the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Nonetheless, the running time for the movie was a little bit too long for Angeline. Her bio-clock started ringing after one and a half hour and she started to fidget endlessly till the end of the movie.

Honestly, Angeline wonders if Ck ever gets irritated when Angeline starts to fidget (without fail) after sitting down for an hour and a half.




P/S: Narnia is being spelled wrongly in the photo (once again - think *Gastronomia*). However, Angeline is still too lazy to make the changes. Oh well!
