Ryzer: Canopy Dining Brunch

This is the makeup of the day. It's neutral (those that I like) and not too heavy for a brunch date :)

This was the hairstyle. It's basically just two braids from the side joining and twirling it into a small bun. I have a lot of layers in my hair so it looks a little messy with the fly aways.

Back to the main point of this post:) R and I went for a brunch date at Canopy Dining. They serve all day breakfast/brunch from 9am - 5pm on weekdays. It was raining really heavily when we reached there and were both slightly drenched even though we had umbrella.

We didn't make any reservation because we thought it was a weekday so yea..whatever, we only waited for about 10 - 15 minutes till we got our seats. I guess it was also because of the rain so the customers were not able to get out.

This is how it looks like inside. Normal, nothing fanciful.

Guess what R was doing...

That's right, FACEBOOK! SNS has taken over his life, our lives. When you have nothing to do or even when you have something to do, Facebook always look like it's more interesting than any other things that's happening around you. 

Random photo that I took when he was so engrossed reading NUS Confessions.

Add-on Grilled Chicken which tasted not bad. I think it was marinated with honey which explains the slightly sweet taste.

We ordered 1 main course and 1 breakfast so it would be more filling. Lobster pasta here. The spaghetti is not cooked well enough. Slightly hard but the sauce is fine. 

Eggs Royale.

It's nice but not the best that I've had. Too little smoked salmon and the english muffin is not crunchy/toasted enough. Some parts of the yolk is over-cooked (not watery).

Red date pudding. Yea, I've had better too. Those at Marmalade Pantry are so much better. This is not bad but not the best, yet again....

Side track
I'm thinking of starting a small tuition group at R's house but I'm really afraid about how it's going to turn out. I've tried in the past (not that hardworking). I barely got any calls or replies. It's so hard to get students on your own. R said that I should go talk to people and be more thick-skinned but I'm so not that kind of person. I also recently withdrew my application with MOE. I don't think I'm ready to take on the extra work other than teaching. My passion is in teaching and tuition really allows me to teach without all the other worries. I refuse to succumb to social pressure. So what if you think I'm doing nothing? Don't judge unless you're in my shoes. I derive immense satisfaction when my tutees improve and do well. I dare say that the help that I've given to them was more than what their school teacher can because of the large number of students in one class. I provide 1-1 attention for the intensive 1.5 hours and make sure he learns and understands all the concepts well. Sometimes I will share some of my personal experiences while growing up when they ask me about stuffs, when they are in a dilemma, when they quarrel with their parents...They are going through a phase which I've been through and I understand fully how foolish I was when I was at their age, I let them know what is the morally right or even a more appropriate way to approach things. I'm not just someone who's hired to study with them. It's more than just that and I know it.
