Monochrome it All

So last Friday, Chels and I finally got to meet up! Finding a common date sure is tough, given my busy schedule and her 3 weeks of intensive training. We spontaneously decided to head down MBS to take photos, after our inconclusive discussion over Whatsapp on where to go haha. I brought my DSLR out so yay but I was too lazy to edit all the photos so below is the mostly unedited photo diary of our outing together! Oh, and we decided to have matchy monochrome clothes because thats what best friends do, isn't it? ;-) Here goes nothing :) 

love this shot!

look at the dark clouds looming over me (well, which kinda adds to the monochrome-ness) but not long after this was taken, it started raining cats and dogs

papa-papa-paparazzi 

we sought shelter at MBS and you have no idea how bad our direction sense is. we took close to 20 minutes walking back and forth trying to find Gongcha because we definitely saw it when we entered the building but when we went back it seemed to have disappeared?! so after our futile attempt, we decided to ask for help and guess what? it was at the other side of MBS boo.

prancing around like a ... white chicken (chels said so herself)

"you know you're seriously super dark like one shade darker than me?! it's super obvious i'm like close to a white chicken now" - Chels

 more like a headless white chicken ;-)

nothing much, just, y'know, the Sky&Me

plonking in the middle of the Helix Bridge. way to go!

one of the few photos we took together :( because I forgot to find out how the self-timer works on the DSLR

after that we found a white wall and while we were trying to figure out which mode to use, I accidentally set it to the monochrome filter one. Sadly both of us didn't know how to switch it back :( so the remaining photos turned out quite grainy (because it was dark) oh and #hairflick

thank you for your company, 'twas a very fun day :')

7.55 am; Shadowy Waffles

Woke up bright and early today (after many days of sleeping in) to get down to the waffles business! Dad bought us a waffle iron quite some time ago, and it's been collecting dust in the corner, so today we (bro&i) were determined to put it into good use. 

The morning sun rays, shadows, and a good hand model, called for a 'photoshoot' for this otherwise mundane waffle-making business.

Who knew mixing just a wee bit of ingredients could take so long? We took close to 45 minutes to prepare the batter. 

The waffle iron was such a chore! Now, I can't use fancy schmancy words to describe the waffles here. The first batch of waffles came out quite alright, slightly undercook, but the overall shape was there. The next few were just... haha some even looked like roti prata oops. In all honesty, they tasted quite the bleh. Did I also mention that we ran out of chocolate sauce? So the brother suggested melting hershey chocolate chips, and of course, that was a brilliant idea! (not) I popped a bowl of chocolate chips into the microwave, and within 5 minutes, smoke was billowing out of it. #burn. Well, what can we say, we are the 'dumb and dumber' afterall haha.

Below are the attempts of salvaging the waffles. Generously slathered Nutella onto it, y'know, in a pathetic bid to give it a little oomph. 

They don't look that bad, do they? ;) Ah wells, devoured them still, because growing children are hungry.
