Rider's cafe,


Rider's cafe is still one of my favourite cafés on this sunny island of Singapore, because its rather secluded location gives a quaint countryside feel. If you're lucky, the stable gates are open and you can take your time exploring the vicinity and even catch a glimpse of horses strolling around for their morning walks. I've been there a couple of times but posted about it vaguely once here two years before. To my displeasure, the food standard seems to have dropped though (and my standard honestly isn't very high when it comes to food haha) We ordered the Breakfast platter and Scones set - the scones were too dry and tasted pretty stale...








Lovin' the peaceful atmosphere, with the lush greenery and occasional trotting horse on the open fields. Despite the slight rainfall, we explored around with our film cameras ^^ The area used to be the old Turf Club (which has since shifted to Bukit Timah) which explains the large areas of empty abandoned land. Being there kinda brings back fond (or not so fond) memories of Cross country training and mixing up the two Turf Clubs - only to end up at the wrong place for training and making my coach extremely worried. Good ole times indeed.

We're riding faster up the hill,

Had this drafted a while back (during the holidays) but forgot to post it!
Found a quaint find at Beauty Emporium @ Dempsey hill 
Arrived unusually early for my Browhaus appointment before L's wedding so I pranced around, wishing I had my camera with me but unfortunately didn't ☹
Pictures below taken by my previous phone (which has officially given up on me, RIP)

You can't really make out the words but it says Beauty Emporium



There was even an essential oils counter where you could mix'n match potions, with other products
in the classic trolley pick up style (albeit the steep prices)


Magazine with hot lemon tea saves the day


Away from the crowd, sometimes all we need is just days like these ♥

P.S. Preparing to concuss after this post, have been swamped with a never ending pile of work deadlines recently. Beauty sleep deprived!
