Guess Watches

I have a Guess watch given as a birthday gift when I was studying in SIM. Hence it is 5 years old now and it is still a good working condition, except the strap was a little tattered and torn.
Guess watches are pretty and quite durable, but a drawback is that I have to travel to Orchard to fix the watch, even it is just changing of the strap. They do not do any servicing at their retail outlets.

So here I am with a "brand new" watch, and I chose black as it is a classic colour which matches almost any outfits.
When you are on a tight budget and there is no point spending money on another watch, change the strap (I paid $35). Little changes do wonders sometimes.

Eggs & Berries at Changi City Point


Photobucket

There was one weekend that Sunday Times recommended places from brunches. Quite a number of cafes featured seems a little over for our budget, until we scrolled down to Eggs & Berries at Changi City Point. I told Ali that this had 10% discount with Citibank and DBS cards, hence after "approval" was sought, we headed down to the mall which I always get to see 5 days a week.
Photobucket It was rather packed when we reached there on a saturday afternoon. We thought it would be difficult to get a table but we were served quite promptly.

Ali took Eggs Benedict whereas I ordered Sweet Brioche French Toast with Sausage & Scrambled Eggs. They say, the higher your expectation, the greater your disappointment. And indeed it was. I was anticipating the piping hot pancakes served with savoring sausages with mustard but the dish was cold. The portion was pathetic too, albeit I should not expect much since the price was at $13.50. I did not get enough kick from the small layers of mustard. Maybe I was asking for too much.

The Eggs benedict took a while to come and as usual, Ali was a little cranky like a child. Probably he was too hungry hence he gobbled everything down. Guys are not exactly that particular, are they?

Never mind the little episode of the staff who gave me ice water when I requested for warm water, I am not a fussy customer. Yet, I will not visit again, because the food is not worth the money,

I was walking to the train station with Turner one evening and we walked passed through Changi City point, I turned to my teammate and said, "Turner not nice leh." and pointed to the cafe. Turner sang in unison and commented that the carbonara she had the other time was a letdown too. Well, better luck next time, Eggs & Berries.
