Blossom Beats @ Flower Dome, Gardens by The Bay

Address:	18 Marina Gardens Drive Singapore 018953
Operating Hours:	9am to 9pm

#BlossomBeats floral display is available from now till 27th March 2016.

Made use of the chance using free tickets from my company to come and see all sorts of blossoms including Cherry & Peach blossoms. This is the first time the display last for only 2 weeks, this explains the huge crowd here! The crowd makes the trip here unenjoyable. Its like you have to keep moving, to let people have the chance to take pictures and yet you got to wait for people to move in order for you to take a good picture without their faces/part of the head or body inside.

Its also my first time having to queue to go in to Flower Dome, as well as the 2 mini exhibits inside Flower Dome, and the queue is pretty long.

I prefer the Christmas and CNY themes better.

(I am having problems with photo bucket and blogspot, my pictures got jumbled up, I can't type any caption in between my pictures. So this explains why I have this lengthy opening.)

Mad Hatter's Ciabatta Tea Set S$5

Before we go to that, fancy a place for me-time, or a girly tea date but don't want to stuff yourself too much before dinner? This is the perfect afternoon, yummy and very reasonably priced.

Koh Grill Sushi + Tai Cheong Bakery @ Orchard

1. Koh Grill Sushi Bar
2. Tai Cheong Bakery

Start off with my failed shopping attempt.

I actually wanted to get shoes because 1 pair of my shoes is giving way soon, and I have such bad luck I couldn't believe it. My colleague aka GFB (Grow-Fat-Buddy) have the same pair of Pazzion shoes and we wanted to get another pair of a different colour.

1) my mum said during the first lunar month, cannot buy shoes (due to superstition reason), so I planned 3 weeks ahead and chose a good date - 1st day of the 2nd lunar month. To our dismay, Pazzion closed at 5pm that day! So we left for dinner instead and I suggested having The Sushi Bar.

2) A few days back I noticed the hole in my shoe is getting bigger so I asked GFB out for a impromptu shoe shopping and quick dinner. Finally saw the shoes we wanted but the smallest size is 38. So i tried 2 other pairs and don't have my size. How annoying when you need to buy a decent pair right?

So I gave up and suggested Koh Grill for dinner and she said I'm a "sushi girl", it's like 10 out of 10 times of our dinner dates, I will suggest Japanese food. Introduced Shiok Maki to her and she loves it! Yay another Shiok Maki Kaki if I have cravings!

Using top quality ingredients for its fruit and milk-based ice pops, there is no added preservatives or colourings in them and they are all handcrafted by an ice pop artist in small batches so no ice pops are alike. Freezing of the ice pops only takes 20 to 30 minutes by a quick-freeze method, which results in extremely fine crystals and a feathery snow-like texture.
