Went to play golf at the keppel club with hy this afternoon, my 2nd attempt at hitting the tiny gold ball with a golf club that is not very much bigger. The place we went to today was much nicer than the east coast park one we went to the last time, no wonder hy was shocked by the state of the driving range the last time. I don't blame her...cos i would be too if i were her. Kinda think i am a fast learner...heh cos i was able to hit the tiny ball correctly on several occasions. Hitted about 40 balls today if i am not wrong and if you look at the percentage correct hits, it's probably pathetic but i am still quite happy with myself. And i wanna thank hy, my coach today. lol...She even let me try the wooden club - which is much lighter at first hit, which created the impression that it is easier to manoeuvre but how wrong can that be!! Switched back to club no 7 after 3 missed hits on the last ball allocated to the woooden club. hiaz...All in all, it was good workout at the driving range, cannot believe the amount of perspiration we shed in that 1.5 hours trying to hit the balls.After which, we pampered ourselves at this pretty patisserie called Twelve+One (which hy repeatedly called it twenty+one. Probably thinking of 21...haa). Super nice ambience and quiet there. We had a fruity cake + raspberry filled donut + spicy hot chocolate. Had expected the hot chocolate to be spicy but it turned out to be only spicey (contains damn alot of cinnamon) and some cereal like coagulation. Quite nice but i think it may not go well with some people due to the pastey nature of the hot chocolate. The shop also sells tartlets that looks delicious and also handmade fruit jams that looks fabulous and I am sure will taste fantastic too...Thinking of the donut filled with raspberry-jam. Yummy!For dinner, we went to Dempsey road. First time there and it was really an eye opener. Wondered why i never went the before. Super nice place to chill out - provided you are not on a shoestring budget. Went to the famous PS Cafe. Foodwise, ok ok. But their cakes are not bad. We shared the flourless orange cake and it went down really well with me. Like the egg-ish and buttery taste, completed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Wells, if you still don't know, i am a total sucker for vanilla ice cream. Hee.Basically today was an atas day, where we keep seeing rich expats and the likes. Hmm, they do have a pretty different lifestyle if u ask me.
