Friday is about distance.

For the employed, its about celebrating the approaching weekend and giving oneself a pat on the shoulder for having survived or endured the stretch of Mon to Fri (depends on how you choose to look at it.) Because I am in between jobs, this Friday has became extra special, filled with friends, reads and a long walk with my trusty Gregory (Canon G11) and new addition to the family, Fred (FED2).

For the longest time, I’ve been wanting to have breakfast at Kith Cafe, along Robertson Walk and I finally did with Su. A quick, no frills breakfast at the tiny cafe that felt friendly and welcoming. Its also pet friendly too!

Breakfast! Su: Brioche with Strawberries & Yogurt, Macchiato Me: Cranberry bun, Latte

A quick breakfast and we parted ways. Su to work and me to bring Fred for a spin around city hall. I managed two rolls of film after a 3 hr plus walk (Color + Black & White) before the scorching heat drove me to seek shelter at National Library where I picked up the book “Haruki Murakami and the Music of Words” by Jay Rubin.

Happy, with book in hand, I dropped by Tokyo Deli Cafe at Raffles City. I was very much attracted to the cafe because of its decor. Sleek, cosy modern. But alas, the food was not the least bit impressive. Food aside, its a nice place to hang out, read or catch up with friends over a cuppa.

Lunch @ Tokyo Deli Cafe: Foccacia Sandwich Set

After lunch, I visited De at her new office space at Suntec Tower Two, The Nomad Offices. She rented a small office space from Nomad which provides fully furnished small office cubicles/spaces for rent. What an idea!

The finale of the day was a company dinner with N with his colleague that came over from USA on a short trip. I’m not a fan of seafood really so I have not much comments on the dinner at Esplanade’s No Signboard Seafood Restaurant. But the sunset along Singapore River at Esplanade was gorgeous and Gregory got a few shots of it.

This long distance Friday of mine meant lots of walking and catching up with fond friends. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Oh, maybe because I missed Day #13 and so there’s some extra voodoo bad luck today. Its like Murphy decided to throw me a “Draw Two” at the Uno Game of Luck.

Well, to start it off, the day has been unsympathetically hot. Scorching if you may. Next, I’m meeting Nicky for lunch and the food turned out so bad I ate close to nothing. Third, I’m meeting Su for tea at Ann Siang which is generally a shelter-less place. (Yet, I shall be thankful I got a bit of a tan). She was an hour and a half late (Yay, more tanning!). The magnum opus of Bad Luck for today got to be when I whipped out my camera to take a pic of the coffee and tiramisu we’re going to have for tea and the display showed “No Memory Card”.

Well, FML indeed.

Shots Cafe @ Ann Siang Hill

Anyway, Shots Cafe is a cosy cafe along Ann Siang Hill. With its facade painted red, one could hardly miss it. The interior deco of the place is really nice. With the gorgeous photos hung around the place, its like chilling out in the middle of a photography exhibition. I ordered a Cold Cafe Latte which tasted rather average. A tad watered down actually. The Tiramisu fared no better because all I could taste was immense sweetness. Su ordered their ‘Awfully Carrot Cake’. I didn’t give it a try, but from the looks on her face, the naming of the dessert is probably apt. The sandwiches the girls at the next table ordered looked pretty good though.

Like a hermit just out of my shell, I found my surroundings exciting again.

Cheers to hanging out with world’s best friends.
