But, I decided I should dress up with festive nails this year, and who better to do this than Clara? 🙂

She did this gorgeous design from scratch, and I was all ready to go in 45 minutes! Talk about creativity and speed!

Recently, I had the opportunity to relive my childhood, thanks to my resourceful brother who took the initiative to secure discounted tickets to the Pompeii exhibition at the national museum.

We were slightly disappointed with the exhibition as most of the artifacts were replicas, but everyone had fun posing for the camera. That’s my brother up there, pretending to be one of the carcasses recovered after Mount Vesuvius erupted.

As we still had time on our hands, we made a quick stop at the National History Museum, which turned out to be much more interesting than we thought.

The museum is divided into various sections, each of which details different stages of development that Singapore underwent to achieve its success today. The best part is, every visitor is equipped with an audio guide, which makes the tour much more engaging and interactive.

Once again, my brother had no qualms about fooling around and documenting his silly antics through pictures, at the expense of his sister.

The restaurant serves, in its owner’s own words, Mod Sin (i.e. modern Singaporean) cuisine. The menu here is refreshingly different from other run of the mill restaurants as it is infused with a mesh of western and Singaporean influences.

We were there just a couple of weeks back (after lunch at Marmalade Pantry!) to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we loved everything that we had (we took the 4 course degustation menu) except for the dessert, which was a little too funky for me at least.

I was most impressed with our first course. I had linguine with salted fish, and believe me, it tasted way more heavenly than it sounds.

Finally, here’s what I wore that day – a beautiful dress from Dustbunny Vintage.

The tomato sauce is very flavourful and its smooth consistency leaves you wanting more. You’ll also find that the chili and pine nuts lend that extra burst of flavour, adding variation in taste. It’s so very addictive!

Marmalade Pantry serves all-day breakfast too, which led to my other half’s decision to order french toast drizzled with chocolate sauce. I thought it was pretty average.

(JW: It tastes better than your crabmeat linguine loh!)

I mean, how different can french toast taste?! Give me my Tunisian from Wild Honey anytime. 🙂

All of us instinctively whipped out our cameras to snap photos of the picturesque scenery!
