singapore sling
It is there trademark drink so of course we HAD to try it before leaving....
This is what we thought about it:
Evelina; Disgusting!!
Nico; Bullshit!!
way to sweet and not good at all. but now we know!!
thank you!
Gunter!!!
Yesterday was our anniversary (1,5 year we stood eachother so far)
and we had the best night ever! My guy knows how to please his girl..
He brought me to "Gunters", a french modern restaurant, that is in the top 100 in the world.
We ate 9 delicious courses and trust me, we were in heaven and paradise for more than 3 hours.. The food is impossible to describe, except from simply; ITS AMAZING!!!
Doesnt sound bad no?
The star!!
Nico knows the chef Gunter through work so he came out and spoke a bit so we could complement him for his work..
I love you Nico, Thanks for yesterday and every other day!!
hardrock cafe
To celebrate that the exams were over for me, Lisa and Caroline (and to rub it in the other's faces) we went for a tuesday night dinner in hardrock cafe..
And OFCOURSE they had construction buildings in front of the cafe.. but the food was good anyway!
Ciao!
fruit of the day
Longan
Outside; brown thin shell, small round fruits.
Inside; White/transparent fruit meat. Looking like a shallot leek. Within the fruit meat there is a black seed.
Taste; Really really sweet. Very sugary. Candy like.
Consistency; Very firm and almost crispy
Nico’s judgment: 2/10 stars “I love longan!!! (before tasting) ... spitting it out and responding; I HATE it. Love it in drinks, not as a fruit”
Eve’s judgment: 6/10 stars “ Like it. Really sweet and is like eating candy. Love the consistency. You cannot eat too many though. A few is enough”
Divine, and it really was
The Winebar was called "Divine" and it truly was...
The most elegant and classy venue that felt like a 5 star hotel.
The atmosphere was very graceful with live music from a trio playing piano, violin and one lady singing.
The menu consisted of 3 books of different wines, red,white and sparkling from all the winecountries of the world.
The most extraordinary thing with the bar was the "fairy" or ballerina- angel that was lifted to "fly" and get the wine from the most beautiful wine rack when someone ordered a bottle.
Many times while we were sitting enjoying our cozy friday night with our drinks we viewed the girl beeing raised to the ceiling.. so cute!!
see how amazing she was flying..
me and the wine-fairy of the night
Mixa nytta med nöje
When everything feels grey and you are sitting with your statistics and not understanding anything..then it is time to sparkle the reality up..
A random wednesday night in "Lantern Bar"- an amazing bar in Fullerton Bay Hotel.
A nice view, a glass of wine and you are back to the bright, sweet reality again...
Btw, the medication worked against my dizziness..
Thanks doc!! (think its time they loosen up in sweden and offer more super pills.great!)
you spin my head round
For 5 days now I have been walking around feeling constantly drunk.
My head is spinning like a carousel...round,round,round....
okey, i love rollercosters, but it is slightly less enjoyable when im sitting in the school library, trying to read statistics.
went to the doctor yesterday and he gave me some pills..
dont know at all if he found the reason since he started by checking my throat and eyes.. from what i thought the balance is in the ear. but maybe thats why im not a doctor aswell!?
lets see if my world will stop spinning or if the everlasting party in my head will continue the entire weekend...
to be continued...
fruit of the day
pink guava
Outside; light green, looking like an apple or pear (exactly the same as guava)
Inside; Pink fruit meet, in the middle there are hard, rather big seeds
Taste; A mixture between apple, pear, banana, grape. Sweet and tart. Like regular guava but a bit more stingy and tart.
Consistency; Like a mushed pear (When a pear is really mature). Very juicy. Seeds are dangerous, it is like chewing stones.
Eve’s judgment: 8/10 stars “Like the taste. It wakes you up. Love the mix of flavours in my mouth. Exciting taste. And I love the pink color inside. Very girly fruit"
Langkawi
Back from a weekend in Langkawi, Malaysia.
Me, Lovisa (swedish) and Coline (french) took a relaxing holiday on the beach before the exam period starts..
We stayed in a house just on the beach and simply enjoyed the asian heat..
Sun.Beach.Good Food.Warm sea.Cheap drinks.Live music.Fire dancing.
What more is there to wish for?
wake up call
today was a tough wake- up.
when the alarm went off i just wanted to go back to sweden to pick up my duvet, go back to bed and just stay there for the entire day..
miss my bed so much.. duvets are the girls best friend.
instead i had to drag myself up.. busy busy day ;
7.15 gym session with my persoal traniner. where my poor biceps and abs fight until they scream of pain
10.00 group meeting with my marketing group
12.00 hopefully lunch with nico
13.00 working on my reserach diary that is due tomorrow

thats worth celebrating.. cannot believe im already so close to the end..
guess i deserve a weekend in malaysia!
golden cinema
on saturday the 2 cinema nerds decided to spoilt themselves and bought 2 tickets for the GOLDEN CINEMA.
The choice of movie was “due date” and they were really pumped and excited.
They warmed up with a nice dinner in “brotzeit”, where they always treat us like the royalties. (I guess they think nico is a very important person within the company) however, we really enjoy good times there.
Anyways, Time for the cinema..
They walked the red carpet, entered the lounge and were placed in the salon… wow wow wow
The waitress showed us our seats and gave us the menu filled with delicate food, desserts, wine and champagne. “if you need anything just push the button”.
The seats were paired 2 and 2, armchairs wide and soft as beds with blankets and tables.. I immediately opened the menu. And the look of Nicos face was indescribable when he realized the seats were electronically adjustable.
His face had a big watermelon smile as he slowly customized the seat to a laying position while I gladly enjoyed the offered waitress service with red wine, blueberry cheesecake and fudge with ice cream.
The movie was okey, The experience GREAT!
swedish thainight in chinatown,singapore
on friday night i met up with the swedish girls to enjoy some thaifood in chinatown to celebrate the indian new-year in singapore.. confusing?
definately..
but it was really good and very nice and exactly what i needed after a week in bed with stomach flu..
A cowboy is born..
On thursday we went back to chinatown..
it was time for this man to take a journey back to his roots... one step closer to a real cowboy...
4 quickly became 5..
we welcome the PONY to our body collection!
fruit of the day
Red kiwi
Outside; brown/green, looking like a regular kiwi without the "hair"
Inside; Like a normal kiwi, green fruitmeat, black seeds and a white string in the middle. The only difference is a bit of red fruit meat around the white middle.
Taste; Again, like a normal kiwi BUT sweeter and smother. Not that sour or tart taste that kiwi tend to have.
Consistency; Again like a kiwi.
Eve’s judgment: 8/10 stars “Very nice. I like normal kiwi, so this was a hit. It doesnt leave that harsch feeling in your mouth as normal kiwi. Although I was MUCH dissapointed of the inside. Thought it would be more red because of the name.. ”
Nico’s judgment: - he didnt want to try it -
fredagsfika and sundaybrunch
One more weekend has come and gone.
Time flies, and we are already in November... Jisses!!
Anyhow, I had another fab weekend in Singapura..
Friday was celebrated with the swedish bunch (+ 1 norweigan) in "Fika" for a nice dinner.
So tasty to swap the asian food for some fresh swedish cuisine once in a while..
After dinner I met up with Nico and we went for a while to meet up with his girlfriends..
On saturday we went spending the day in Vivocity shoppingmall and finished the evening with dinner and drinks in BluJaz where we ate some delicious grilled meet.
Later on I met up with the girls in Clarke Quay where there were tons of people dressed up/out for Halloween.. some with really amazing outfits.
Sunday was the best day in a long time..
I had already booked a date with my darling. I brought him to Outram park and an australian place with delicious sunday brunch.
Fruitsmoothies. toast and bacon. smoked salmon. scrambled eggs. cinnamon french toast. fruitsalad with yoghurt and granola. ice coffe.
M M M M M M M M M.. YUMMIIE!!
We sat down for a couple of hours with magazines and soft sunday music to enjoy the delicious fiesta.
The slow sunday futher continued in Arab street and Haji Lane where we checked out the cool designer and vintage stores.. The evening offered sushi in sushi Tei and a movie at home with fruitsalad and snacks..
what a wonderful day!!
