The Monkey Says: Put Your Right Hand In

There is a bitter outlook whenever one clicks on to my blog if the post below is kept on top, which is why this post is going to be a happy clappy one! Just in case there are no new posts after :D

& without a doubt, there is nothing happier, or remotely anything that pastes a bigger smile on my face than goooooooood food and great company. Regardless it being the main source of the depleted account. I should learn the art of picking at others' orders :D

Being the lost sheep we were, Jean and I settled at the most strategic (less walking) and easiest to locate cafe in Gardens the other day.



An open-concept cafe called Pastis, located just outside Isetan in the circular space. The menu is catered more for a tea-time break in my opinion, though, of course you still have your main pasta and grilled fish and what nots.



Criolla with marshmallows, absolute love! It's not often that I drink hot chocolate, but I was sold the moment I read they had marshmallows in it. Dark hot chocolate yum :D



Jean had her Cappuccino which came with usual biscuit cookie. I enjoy looking at the foam, just one of my simple pleasures in life. It is Not. Creepy.



Our French Onion soup which was good, though, a little too oily. We reckon perhaps it's the oil from the French onion, but then again, does it give out oil?? Jean took the time to remove the top layer of the oil whilst I sipped on my drink :D



Smoked Salmon Salad which was wiped clean, mostly by me because damn salads are so delicious, are they not! The salmon, croutons and lettuce, oh boy! Of course, a badly dressed salad is the uttermost turn-off grrrr which is why you should never order salads at fusion restaurants. Most of the time, they just dunk in loads of mayonnaise, olive oil and thousand island sauce. Geeeeeez.

In total, our bill came up to a total of 60 Ringgit, inclusive of government tax and service charge. A really nice quiet place, if you intend to catch up whilst grabbing a bite.

Pastis can be found on the ground floor of Gardens (Megamall), just outside the Isetan exit at the circular space, themed orange and white. Also, while locating it, look out for a shop called Bread & Butter nearby and join the club if you were, too, conned by it! :D

I slept at Jean's that night, all in preparation for Sam's birthday the day after.



Presents were wrapped by Jean, because I was too engrossed in the damn Chuzzle game. It really is all her fault, for letting me play grrr but I would've sucked at wrapping the gifts anyway, which is why sometimes I'd rather pay for it to be wrapped. Maybe next time I should just bring them to Jean! :D She would do it as a favour for a friend, and since she *is* supposed to be creative and all, considering the course she's taking :D



The card we made for Sam. By the look of it, you should know who made it. Look at the choice of coloured paper, the ugly fonts, and the monotone colour. An utter disaster in the Art world, a disgrace to be called a card despite it's really sweet content (ahem ahem Sam please agree).

Jean! Better brush up on your skills!!!! :D

Hehehe, nah, I kid, I kid. Guilty upon both charges. Production of the ugly card and accusing really artistic friend. Sigh, why can't I be born with more art skills huh huh! I think it's genetic though, cos when I was younger, unlike other kids who had their moms to pleat their hair to school and appear in school with different hair-dos everyday, my mom didn't know how to tie her daughters' hair at all. & my dad's scrap book damn ugly wei. You see, it's genetics!





The closest I've been to water colour since forever.

Fun wei! The cupcakes I iced, despite being painstakingly ugly for Jean to look at, she still included them into the box to bring over for dinner, and everybody should thank me for squeezing more icing onto them cupcakes! Yay for me :D

Friday night beckons :) & I got into GP class in college! Yay! And a cab driver agreed to finding a boyfriend for me! Yay! Everything is good again! Now I just need to stop fussing about what to wear every morning, I swear it's added stress.
