The Daily Scoop

GF brought me to The Daily Scoop for ice cream and waffle while we discussed a little on her wedding preparations. I never did realise that there is a Clementi Arcade after staying in Clementi for more than 20 years. A Cold Storage outlet is there too. 

We had double scoop icecream on waffle at $9.60. A scoop of Lychee Martini and a scoop of Kooki Monster. Delicious. But it wasn't satisfying enough even though the scoops are pretty big. Greedy me. Haha...

Their card is pretty cute. Thick card, good quality too.

Good luck

Today, is a pretty unlucky day. First me, then it was the hubby's turn. It's a foggy road for me. Praying hard it won't be the same for the hubby. Praying real hard. 

I can't help but feel lousy about everything.

Design : Logo + Namecard for AT Commodities

Got an assignment from a friend's recommendation. The requirement was to design a logo and a namecard for AT Commodities, a company that does trading from rice, cement, coffee, oil, tyres, stones and more. After a few rounds of revision, the client picked my 2nd logo design.

My initial idea to was use blue and orange. Blue represents the company trade in solid and fundamental items like cement and stones while orange represents trading items like coffee and rice, things that people use and consume in daily lives. But the client prefer not to use orange, hence the purple in the final logo design.

The arrows on the logo icon represent bringing trade commodities to customers from all areas or directions, with the circle being a point where customers are. Futura Bold Condensed is used as the font type as the font family Futura has an appearance of efficiency and forwardness.

Happy with my completed work. Hopefully the client is too. It was nice working with them as the client always provides me with constructive feedback, enabling to project to complete with efficiency.

Marvel's Thor: The Dark World

For the second part of our anniversary date, hubby and I went for a movie. We caught Thor: The Dark World. I like the movie. There are funny scenes and tear evoking scenes. Remember to stay for a short clip after the movie.



The following contain spoilers.

I didn't know Thor's mother can fight. And she fight so well, so suave. I like. But sadly she died. The scene of the funeral process, the lights, the fire arrows, it was a pretty scene, very emotional, tear evoking. I love the funny bits by Loki while on their way out of Asgard to Malekith's world. And I finally understood the ending of the movie, while on our way home. Thor, Odin and Loki. Hmms... Quoted from Wikipedia: "In Asgard, Thor declines Odin's offer to take the throne and tells Odin of Loki's sacrifice. As Thor leaves, the image of Odin reverts to the true form of shapeshifter Loki, who, disguised earlier as a warrior, has usurped the throne."

In a mid-credits scene, Volstagg and Sif visit the Collector and entrust to his care the Aether, commenting that, with the Tesseract already in Asgard, having two Infinity Stones so close together would be dangerous. As they leave, the Collector remarks, "One down, five to go." (Quoted from Wikipedia)

The Line Buffet at Shangri-La Hotel

It's our anniversary and the hubby is treating us to a pretty high end buffet lunch at The Line, located in the Shangri-La Hotel. I had heard excellent reviews from friends about this place. And the prices is not cheap too. The lunch is still affordable for us and there's a 15% discount for reservations made online.

The hotel is located a little off the way. We took a train, changed to a bus and walked 10-15 minutes to get to the hotel. We reached 10 minutes before 12. Buffet lunch starts only at 12 noon, but we were welcomed and showed to our seats.

The restaurant is brightly lit, surrounded by glass panels, allowing natural light to shine into the restaurant. A very modern looking place, with white and orange as its main colour theme. Chefs at each section were busy preparing for the upcoming lunch crowd. The place was pretty empty but was quickly filled up after 12noon.

We started with the cold food. Prawns, oysters and crabs. And I played with the food.

No feel for the crab and osyter, but I love the prawns. Fresh.

This is the ever busy station. Everyone loves seafood. The chefs were busy preparing the oysters. Demand over supply with the non-stop queue.

Next, Sashimi. We didn't really take any sushi. Buffet, eat less carbo. A little disappointing for me.

Tempura. No feel.

Pretty salad bar.

Western station. We tried the pizza. Thin crust.

Dim Sum. I expected the shrimp dumplings to have a bigger prawn in it.

The tea and coffee counter. I ordered a Teh Tarik. A little diluted.

Indian Section. There's egg and plain prata. Quite a hot favourite, as the pratas were emptied quite quickly.. I went at least 4 times just to take a photo.

Our indian food selection.

At the far corner, there's a chicken rice stall and a noodles stall. I ordered a Laksa. Yum yum.

Desserts bar. There were many pretty cakes to choose from.

And I believe, I chose too much. We were struggling to finish what I took. Haha...

Despite being so full, I had to have my icecream. The hubby got us mango and yam. There's no chocolate. Healthier fruit flavours.

To be honest, we were a little disappointed. Maybe we had set our expectations a little too high. The service crew were all very friendly, attentive and polite. Our total bill came up to $98, with a 15% discount from making our reservations online. And poor hubby was busy visiting the gents during the movie after our lunch. I wonder why.....

Oh.. The waiter offered us a carpark coupon, but we did not drive there. I did not know parking is complimentary for diners. Now I know...
