INSTAGRAM PICK OF THE MONTH - August

Playing Modelle.

Stats has shown that nobody really cares about my Instagram pick of the month because those who really cares has already seen it on Instagram itself and those who reads my blog don't really cares about my IG.

Which is kinda okay right? Which means the 15k followers there and the readers here are not the same people. See ah, this is exactly what I tell my clients all the time. Different platforms for different users.

But guess what? This is my blog and not like my client's business account or sites, so I get to post whatever I want! #Becauseicanlah

We spent the weekend at ActiveSG,. We were working and TRYING we were so active the whole weekend. We decided to do a impromptu photoshoot after rolling some dragonboat. I was rather surprised by how nice the pictures turned out considering the fact that we hardly pose for photos together! We look like super cool hippo hip hop rapper or something. And they are now 1 of the design on our new name cards! Those meeting us get to get a copy!

2. Hajime Tonkatsu & Ramen at myVillage

This pretty ebi fry is proudly brought to you by @hajime_tonkatsu_ramen !I love the dedication chef Tan-san put in when making his food. Not only are the food fresh and yummy but they are also value for money. You will not find any single item above $20 on the menu. They are actually located at @myvillagesg which is one of my fav malls to be at these days. They have most of the essential stuff and it's not like the cookie cutter busy malls where you have 10,000 people pushing you around and no parking! There are so much more about this place I want to tell you. Like how the premium pork is selected, how their soup is from real broth and not typical miso paste. Aiya, you all just go and try. I actually already went back once after my food tasting session and now planning another outing with my friends. GO GO GO! NOW! #Whenlifegivesyouebifryyoutakepicture #foodfortatt #lunch #ebifry

I've decided to do this whole series of hipsterAF photos - #Foodfortatt. I'm super loving how the pictures are turning out so far. And erm, sorry I've not yet update the blog about this latest tatt's story!

And I must tell you, this Hajime Tonkatsu & Ramen restaurant is like one of the best deals ever. The premium Tonkatsu are usually pretty expensive at other restaurant but they have it at below $20!! And best thing is they are located at myVillage. myVillage is this cosy little mall located besides the famous RK House. It's funny how I've visited RK House so many times but never ever noticed the mall was there until recently. The good news is that I LOVE THAT PLACE! It's very peaceful unlike those cookie cutter and noisy malls that almost always give me a heart attack just from braving through the sea of people. Seriously hate crowded malls like Tampines Mall or Tampines one.

They may not have your typical HnM, F21, Uniqlo, or even FnBs like Macdonald's or challenger or llao llao but they have a very good selection of hipsters FnBs and also some of the other essential shops like hardware shop, supermarket, banks, and even Toast box!

I've been putting gym off so many times for the last two months! Business meetings, photoshoots, video editing and what now! Binge eating while working late night and Makan Bus research etc etc. I've put on 3kgs since last checked. SIAO LIAO!!

4. Fake it till you make it

Finally in Melbourne and I need a hot coffee for the cold spring afternoon. Ok lah, I'm #ActuallyInSingapore and I'm just doing this #TravelFakie thing. It is a new trend where people pretend that they are travelling abroad on the adventure of a lifetime, when in fact they’re still at home. Join me in @JetstarAsia’s Travel Fakie contest from now until end Sep and stand a chance to WIN a FREE TRIP to the country that you’re pretending to be in! Simply take a #TravelFakie like what I did and upload it onto your Instagram, Twitter or Jetstar Asia Facebook page. Tag #TravelFakie and @JetstarAsia, and explain where you actually are. So, where do you think I actually took this pic?

You might think I'm like in some super cold country like Melbourne or something but WRONG! I was actually in Singapore!!! It's actually one of the new projects we did for Jetstar Asia's new #TravelFakie contest. It's super fun and I love it soooo much! The effort I took to get this shot was actually much more than buying an air ticket with Jetstar. Seriously ah, travel is way easier than doing this travel fakie thing. hahaha. But well, it was fun!

Funny story is that I've actually booked a trip out of Singapore on Jetstar even before accepting this collaboration with Jetstar! #thisisasign

Sometimes perfection can't be planned. It just happens at the most unexpected moment in life. #whilebuyingicecreamalongorchardroad ☀️🍦
