Armenian Church

Some time back Sam and I went to visit the Armenian church just to check out their architecture and.. oddly enough, their cemetery. It had been a while since we did something cultural so it felt more refreshing than usual. Of course, the architecture was nothing compared to the great cathedrals of Europe, but it was pretty decent in itself. Peaceful, the only downside was that there were hoards of mozzies - it got scary pretty quick so we got out of there after we finished seeing most of what they had to offer.

First, we had lunch at one of Sam's favourite Jap places - I've momentarily forgotten what's the name of the place but they serve pretty decent sushi. The only thing is that I feel like they could offer a larger variety. 

He wanted to give me a treat for some unknown reason though, so I wasn't complaining. It was really yummy :3 


And off to the Armenian Church! 


Really peaceful and tranquil. I love the whites against the greens. 





From this point onwards, we entered mozzie zone. 

Here's the boy trying to squash one of the many. 

Weathered but beautiful cemetery. 






Some of the dedications were really beautiful. 

The interior was pretty simple and sparse so I didn't take any other photo apart from this one. A simple candle chandelier. 

After we left the church, we decided to take a quick walkabout at the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce. They have pretty amazing looking Chinese architecture. 



Incidentally, there was a mini art fair going on so we went to nose around for a bit. 




Last stop at 8Q! It was mostly exhibits catered to children this time so there wasn't much for us, but it was still nice to hang out in its quiet walls. 







We had actually planned to go to IKEA for dinner but the queue was crazy long so we headed over to Queensway for the famous laksa and chicken curry. It was none too shabby. 

Back to Ikea to look for a new office chair for the boy but also got distracted along the way picking out our ideal living room. 

Found it? 

I got bored and found a cuddly friend. 

Teehee.

Easter weekend

Snaps from the long Easter weekend, it was awesome to have an extra day off, especially to spend some time with Sam who has been working really hard at his new job.

Went for Good Friday mass with the family in the morning first! 

Then an awesome sushi date with Lili. 

My absolute favourite :3 

Spent the rest of the evening with this qt. We went to V2 to chill and had some lovely Korean fried chicken. 

Saturday I had a lame body sculpting appointment shit which was a waste of my time, but then I got real excited and skipped along to go meet Sam - we went to try out a new bar that a friend of his opened. 

Maaaaaaaany taps! 


The fish tacos were amazing, pretty authentic SoCal style. 




We made friends with a mystery kitty whom we've never met before! She was shy but affectionate. 

Sadly Coral came along and scared her off by snarling and hissing and snapping. We think she was madly jealous, just look at her face! She purposefully sat on my lap and hissed at mystery cat from there, talk about territorial. Hahaha. She's been missing for 2 weeks or so though, I miss her. 

On Sunday we had a huge family dinner, treat from Lili to celebrate her first job! 


There was so much food...

More celebrations at her home. 

Ended the night on a pretty rad note :3
