Five & Dime

Visited Five & Dime over the weekends

Love how they put their eatery name on everything.

Menu

Just some water. Sadly, I don't drink coffee so I go to brunch places just for the mains



Eggs Benny which I ordered! It was delish so I rank it among the top for all the eggs benedicts that I have tasted.
L's corned beef hash! The beef tastes like the grounded beef Carl's Junior puts on its beef chilli cheese fries except it tastes better! Goes well with eggs and toast 




Ambience was ok. I love the tables and chairs!


Took a picture of its doors after we left.


We went to Dean&Deluca afterwards for cakes! I'm still thinking of the lemon meringue tart

Anyway I just realized, what's with ____&_____ for names of cafes?

Conflicting thoughts

Today marks the last day of the semester for me. This semester passed too damn fast! I remember I was still counting down to this day and *blink*, the semester ends today. Well actually, it haven't really ended given that I still have two projects undone and submissions due next/next next week. Even so, I feel quite carefree now! I'm just worried about internships/jobs currently. If only I don't have to worry about that as well.

I don't know if I should be happy or sad that second last semester has ended and after a very short break I would be embarking on MY LAST SEMESTER. I'm imagining that the end of my university education would be a huge milestone/phase for me. Firstly, there will be no more school, secondly I will have to be financially independent and lastly, I will have more responsibilities. It's just so scary given that I have not found a full time job yet. I will also lose the only thing that I have devoted my entire life (about 15 years) to and the only thing that I've done well; studies. At the same time, I'm excited that I will be moving into a new phase of my life!

Oh well, maybe I should leave these feelings to the next semester.

For this semester, I don't know if I became more emotional or what but I felt quite sad when the profs gave their usual short "last lesson" speech before the class ended for good. For financial modeling, I felt like tearing (omg I'm so embarrassed). It might be cause the prof gave us some advice with regards to the working world and it kinda made me sad that I have not found a job. Or I got reminded of the fact that I'll have to lose my soul to the working world soon. For two other modules, I didn't feel so sad cause I dislike the module and can't wait for it to end (kind of). 

Haiz, what conflicting feelings.

Habitat Coffee Visuals

It's my favourite cafe so far, love the decor and prices.




Iced Chocolate

Lychee fusion tea




Shrooms benedict! Quite worth it cus it's $12

Tomato something. Think it tastes like Wild Honey's Tunesian

Truffle fries for $8! I rank it second after Au Chocolat's version. But it's really value for $!

After brunch at Habitat, we headed to Salted Caramel, which was just a stone's throw away.
