Lunch Buffet at Yamm, The Mira
Remember my binge-worthy birthday dinner buffet at Yamm, The Mira in April? Well in July, as per my recommendation and raves about the meal, my uncle happened to have a discount on their lunch buffet. He invited me and of course I had to go again! Sadly, the lunch buffet wasn't good. I suppose it's a cheaper price but they didn't have my all time favourites from April, namely the lobsters and the macarons. What a disappointment. I feel that the food quality has gone down as well... maybe my expectations were too high?

Well, Someone's Finally Returning My Money
The last time Louis and I met up officially was last summer... the beginning of last summer in fact. I don't remember bumping into him anytime after that because I'd graduated and was working full time and he was still in school and cough cough unwilling to come all the way to my area for lunch. So after my Year-out job, guess what - I went to find him all the way in HKU instead. But actually, the reason for me going is just because he owes me $100. Ha ha. And we had Ebeneezer's in HKU because it's cheap and I was broke.

Gudetama Food Piazza at Langham Place
Gudetama craze has hit Hong Kong hard, and I'm ashamed to admit that I am one of those... Gudetama fangirls. Lol, I don't know how else to put it. So during the summer, Langham Place in Mong Kok is holding a giant 3D installation of a Gudetama-themed Japanese street to celebrate the mall's 10th anniversary. For the more crazy fans who are willing to spend big bucks, there is also a pop-up store selling limited edition merchandise. I was excited as hell when I first heard about it, which was even before the installations went up (though not as excited as I would be if it were Pokemon or Digimon - then I would part with my money). Anyway, Jason and I went on a weekday to avoid the crowds but I guess with the hype and with it being summer time, it was still packed.

Jockey Club Community Arts Biennale 2015
With the recent Korean food craze in Hong Kong, Mum decided to try Honey Granny's honeycomb ice cream to see what's so good about it. There was a branch close to home in Quarry Bay and on the way there, we dropped by Artistree for the Jockey Club Community Arts Biennale 2015 exhibition, which is sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and organised by the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation (YAF). We found out that it ends on the 24th, so we were lucky to catch the last few days of it!
The exhibition features 24 large visual art installations on the neighbourhoods around Hong Kong. These artworks were created by professional artists and young people together to bring forward the histories of the different communities that make the city what it is today. They even had workshops (that we missed) on letterpress printing, paper crafting and lion head paper model making.

Dinner With Pinky
Although we were in the same firm for our Year-out jobs, Pinky is a Macau citizen and worked primarily in the Macau branch. She only came back to the Hong Kong office at the most one day a week, so we barely got to see each other. By July, we were long overdue for a meet up, and after many, many cancelled plans we finally picked a time to catch up over dinner at Simplylife BAKERY CAFÉ in Causeway Bay. Oh, and check out our stripey coincidental dress code, haha.

Singapore: Day 2
Our second day in Singapore was a full day unlike yesterday (because we spent half the day flying from Hong Kong) so there are tons of pictures for you guys! Today Jason and I had an outdoor lunch in a park called The Lawn looking over to Marina Bay Sands, went to Gardens by the Bay where we were too stingy to spend any money on the domes (we only went on the OCBC Skyway), then actually went over to MBS ourselves to see the interior architecture. We were going to visit the ArtScience Museum as well, but we were too stingy for that too LOL.
So of course we opted for the free option of visiting the Helix Bridge before finally deciding to spend a little. We took the river taxi over to snap a picture with One Fullerton's Unielephant statue and to see The Merlion. And before you ask, yes we did take pictures "drinking" the water from The Merlion's mouth but that's just too typical to post. That and I look bad in the photos. We had some kaya toast from Toast Junction, walked around a bit more, and had dinner at Lau Sa Pat Festival Market.
