Of Designs and DKBH

Saturdays are always so lovely. :) Feels like it's really time to wind down, play tennis, have nice lunches, take naps, watch EPL, shop and grocery, and write blogs. :))

These last 2 Saturdays were really nice.

Went to Lily's new place last Saturday and boy, it was really nice to see her duplex unit. So cosy, with a killer view. We wondered how it would be like without Kenji - whether we would still have chosen Rihan Heights, or explore the other areas here. Lily and Herman have moved to Nation Towers, which is just by the Corniche area, so it's really great for walking and jogging.


I have always been intrigued by interior design and homes, including how people live their lives in these homes, and I saw a flavour of that in Lily's place, with the armchairs, paintings, lamps, decorative pieces. The way the space is managed, the deco, the design and shape of the living space - all provides the space for creativity and flow. :) So nice.


The 2 bedrooms are upstairs. Reminds me of our Pasir Ris EM, and I think if we live in such a space here, Kenji would be very happy. He can play catching, and hide and seek with us again.

 
And see the killer view (zoom in and zoom out) :-0
The Corniche stretch is about 8km long, a waterfront that includes separate cycle and pedestrain pathways, cafes and restaurants and also private beach access. Really nice. :) This place is about 20km from where Rihan is, and we never really thought of strolling along this part of the beach though we've driven past it many times. Maybe one day.


Coupled with good hospitality, lunch, coffee and conversation - it was just very nice to catch up and enjoy a chill day.

And well, that was last week. Today, this Saturday, saw us eating Deh-Kar-Bee-Hoon. Haha.
I saw the DKBH pic when Veronica was visiting and omy, all I could think about was DKBH. Actually, it's not that I am so into it, but strangely, I could see and smell Jubilee's DKBH in my mind.

So Ernest decided to cook for us, using the Narcissus cans of stewed pork.

It was really kinda fun and cosy - doing lunch together (ALL his effort), after a morning tennis session. And it was not just DKBH. There's also herbal chicken soup. It was just.... so good.

 
So we had the DKBH, the herbal chicken soup and Salamat had pizza. :-p
We "supped" so much of the good, home-cooked food. If Ernest, you are reading this, I want some more. :-D

And he lives in a hotel apartment with a killer view too.
A bachelor's pad, and a very comfortable one too.

The view is of the Corniche as well, taken from another angle.

Saturdays are just nice. Slow down, chill, unwind.
特に何をしないでも。。。今日は本当に気持ちいい。
