Wake up in the mornin' feeeeelin like...

The chillness of the morning is discomforting. Unconsciously, your body shuffles; your limbs pull your bolster closer to your main frame as you burrow deeper under the blanket. More shuffle; your bedsheets ruffle. Then your face contorts, irritably, as glaring sun rays filters through your willowy curtains, hitting your face. Your eyes, though shut, tenses as it somehow sense the damnable morning light and thereupon, your ears pick up the cacophony of highway traffic. You try to mitigate the damage to your slumber; your hands instinctively pull your plush duvet cover over your bedhead. But, the damage is done - you are now semi-awake. Ignoring this fact, you make applaudable efforts to get back in the sleeeeeepin' groove, and find youself suceeding. Slowly, you are drifting... back to dreamland...when suddenly "WAKE UP IN THE MORRRRRNINNNNNNN FEEELIN LIKE P DIDDY..." attacks your ears. F^$# iPod Touch alarm clock; F$^% Ke$ha, her bottle of jack, and her pedicure on her toes toes!!! Your right hand thrusts from under the oh-so-snug duvet cover, ghosts across your messy bedside table to look for your iTouch, finds it finally, and angrily snaps on the snooze button. The air is silent once more but the peace is broken; you are officially awake.

Groans escape your dry morning mouth as you languidly sit up. You stare blankly for some moments before deciding to finally crawl out of bed. The day has started... kindof badly... and then it hits you "what better way to remedy it than to go for a nice brekkie...~!"

In this post, I will be introducing a few chic breakfast places that you can start your day with! Rest assured that I will not be introducing only snobby establishments. Whether you are in financial dire straits (à la Rebecca Bloomwood), or financially comfortable, or unabashedly rich, I have something for everyone.

1. You open your agnès b. purse and find only a paltry amount (Oh yes, you burnt your pocket money on that half-arse purse, you silly undergraduate!)

There is no shame in poverty! Chic and poor are not mutually exclusive when you find yourself at...

a) Buttercake n Cream at Sunset Way

b) Simply Bread at Gutherie House

c) Huber's Butchery at Dempsey

2. Your finances are well-managed by your absolutely chic Balenciaga Long Wallet
(P.S. I love the Arena Compagnon; white leather only please!)

So you have a little more dough to spare; so you want to be at those chi-chi establishments where the stylish tai-tais raise their eyebrows in approval when they notice the masterfully-designed Balenciaga wallet you proudly clutch in your manicured hands... where better to enjoy such attention than at:

a) Marmalade Pantry at either Ion or Holland Village

b) Jones the Grocer at either Dempsey or Mandarin Gallery

3. Your designer full-exotic-leatherlong wallet (Hermès Kelly Long Wallet anyone?!!) is lined with a colourful assortment of credit cards (you know, the infinity credit kind...)

Ah you shamelessly affluent one! I see, money is never an issue; well, where better to showoff your Kelly than at...

a) Graze at Rochester Park

b) Li Bai at Sheraton Hotel

OH I AM NOT DONE WITH THIS POST YET... PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR REVIEWS ON MY RECOMMENDATIONS! I apologise for not getting everything up in one shot – writing meaningful reviews is so not an easy thing to do! I have to remember my experiences at these places and pen them down in a fun-to-read manner... which I take quite long to do... in any case, enjoy this half-written piece first and check back for upcoming reviews!

P.S. my beloved Jim and I spent our afternoon having tea at Hediard (pronounced as: eh-diar) at Tudor Court. It was fab!! Stay tuned for an upcoming review on this cosy French corner...!
