Find me boring? I just made another Strawberry Cheesecake! This time I topped the cheesecake with agar-agar over the sliced strawberries.Thanks to the Korean Strawberry season... think Cold Storage is over-stocked with strawberries coz they r selling 4 punnets for only SGD 9.99 ;-)
and I found this FAT-FREE cream cheese @ cold storage.... and I told myself, MUST BUY MUST BUY!! :D
Also from Cold Storage... No Frills Brand Marie biscuits for the cheesecake base. FairPrice Butter from my fridge.... My fridge is always well-stocked with FairPrice Butter! Cheap & Nice! 
Again, the SQ's 7 o'clock way of presenting a slice of my cheesecake :P
5 o'clock
