Before I begin my post, I just want to say that this tea session wasn't pre-arranged and it's really pure coincidence that Fionis was on leave too and so we decided to have a spontaneous afternoon tea session at Antoneitte. Hollie was supposed to join us but she ended going somewhere else.
Anyway, this place is new to me and since Fionis suggested a late noon meet-up, I decided to go there early to check out the place. I was kind of surprised when I see how crowded the place was in the afternoon even though it was located at a rather secluded place. So if anyone of you is interested in checking out the place during the weekend, I'll highly recommend that you make an advanced reservation.
I like the cosiness of the place and the whole place was done in a modern Victorian style. Somehow, I feel that it resembles both Artestiq and Cedele, yet has an ambience of its own.
Greeted at the counter with lots of cakes the moment you step in.
I ordered their famous earl grey tea and indeed, it was good!
A good-looking s95 casing but an ugly s95...hehe
Ok, instead of trying the usual cakes, I ordered this pastry that looks like bread. It's an interesting change and I thought it was not bad.
On a different note, I had difficulty in pronouncing the french names and since it was also not featured in the menu, I had to walk to the counter and show the waiter what I wanted.
Oh, I was quite impressed with the washroom! I initally thought that being such a small cafe, it could not possibly have a washroom and even if it had one, the washroom should be nothing special. I WAS WRONG! To understand how impressed I was, I even went out of the washroom to my seat to grab my camera before returning to take some pictures! haha
I regretted not bringing my wide angle lens on this outing as I couldn't capture the view of the whole place to show you how nice it was. Nonetheless, I hope it is attracive enough to make you visit it. On weekdays, the patrons are usually tai-tais and you can join them if you would like to have a tai-tai session too! :)

Does this happen to you?
It happened one night, when I suddenly had a flash back on my dad. Within minutes, memories of him just appear in my mind..from the happy days spent with him till the day he was diagnosed with cancer and finally passed away.
I realised that I had very little memories of how he struggled through the days where he was bed ridden. I must admit that I didn’t really spend enough time or even lend a little support to my dad during those days.
While I always thought that I had seen thru life and death and was a brave soul who always jokes easily about death, I was quite afraid for that moment.
The fear wasn’t really about me, but the people around me. The feeling of being left alone in this world make me realised that how important it is to cherish everyone around you. I thought that I could live independently in my own world but I was wrong. Finally, I seem to see a lot of things which I chose not to in the past.
I wasn’t sure why all these came to me in the mid of the night for no reasons but to me, it just felt like a reminder from somewhere & someone.

Shania 1st Birthday Bash
The kids these days are all so lucky...i doubt they will even recall about having this birthday bash when they grew up...
I think Shania is equally restless and tired that day....but had alot of fun..
She has grow up so much since the first time i last seen her...and she is definitely no more "Michellin" (the Mascot that was used for the tyres brand)
I was smart...the moment i reached the chalet, and spotted little Shania being left alone by the crowds, i quickly took some shots of her..and i guess that was the only chance for me that night.
Playing hide and seek with us.
All her funny expressions...
Here's the mum with shania..oh there is a theme for this party...and they even had an angmoh lady dressed up as tinkerbell...
And suddenly deep in thoughts...pretty emo for that age..haha
And Adrian had such luck with Shania!
Cake cutting
Sherry and Dave are such great host for that night...
