Dinner at Creation Cafe

2010-09-03T00:49:00.004+08:00

Since there are too many pictures to upload to Twitter, hence blogged.

Went for dinner last night with Joseph at this lil cafe at Shaw Tower, his future workplace.

Heard lots of rave about this place. It was even rated 7.4 on Hungrygowhere!

It was so good that it made my friend, a non-pasta lover, fell in love with the 'italian sek mee' all over again!

We ordered the set dinner, which included a soup(it was mushroom soup, splendidly done), a drink and a dessert for just an additional $4!

Totally worth it.

My main was Spicy Crabmeat Linguine. It tasted just like chilli crab sauce mixed with pasta.

Very shiok.

Only minus point was getting the meat out of the shell. They should serve it 'shell-less'. Haha..

Bf's Carbonara Linguine. The creamy sauce was not too overpowering. It was just nice. But he complained that the portion is quite small.

Tsk tsk..

*cough* big eater *cough*

Lastly, dessert! Brownie with a scoop of ice-cream to share. There's a few other choices to choose from, like Apple Crumble or Tiramisu.

Total bill was $31.50.

Reasonable pricing with the good standard of food.

Service was also excellent. Probably the restaurant wasn't that packed so the staffs were more attentive.

Will definitely be something to look forward to if i were to meet him for lunch/dinner near his workplace in future!

I soooooooo wanna try their Laksa Cream based pasta the next time i'm there!

He gave me a ROSE!

2010-03-06T03:58:00.005+08:00

Since it was our anniversary, BF brought me to Ion Orchard to choose my present.

Just when i was torn between LV and Tiffany(i took damn long to decide esp. when it comes to ultra expensive things!!),

Suddenly, he suggested the idea of getting a ring for me!

So we zoomed all the way down to B2, went in SooKee Jewellery and came out wif this!

'This will be your engagement ring', he said.

=))))))))

SO I'M NOW UNOFFICIALLY ENGAGEDDDD!!

Unofficial 'cause he has yet to pop the question in the right mood with the right settings!

Once he popped the question, then can i be engaged!!

So i'm still waiting!

Everyone's asking!!

Next year's anniversary will be a different one.. =)

Breakfast!

2010-02-09T05:34:00.000+08:00

Roti Biskut!

Brings back lots of memories! Love this when I was kid! It's toasted with a layer of sugar. Exceptionally delicious when dipped in Milo!

Hope u enjoy your breakfast!

Gonna go enjoy mine now!

New nails!

2010-01-12T02:57:00.004+08:00

3 weeks old gel nails really pissed me off!

broken tips
gel separating from bottom of nails
faded polish
disfigured drawings

See already ultra no mood!!!

Should have taken a picture of my distorted reindeer. LOL!

Now that Xmas is over..

time for some pre-Chinese New Year nails!

I actually wanted to do some plum flowers (梅花) design to really get into the CNY mood. But i doubt it will last me through to CNY. By then, it would have become rotten flowers. Haha!

As for leggy(please pardon my short short nails, everyday wear covered shoes so no more long nails + it keeps getting chipped!),

matte pink! Matte-ness can be seen better without flash.

With flash. See..

Wanted to try Suede Purple but they don't have it. =(

Alrighty, sleeping time!

Tomorrow, 313 @ Somerset with the girls!

Bangkok 23 - 26 Nov (DAY 2)

2010-01-08T21:35:00.000+08:00

Finally! Day 2~

People say 3 women = 1 market. We are equivalent to 1 market. I pity the people staying around and below us. LOL!

The poor basin.. suffocated by our toiletries.

before leaving the apartment

it was along the way to BTS station. Grab some drinks first!

the closest station is still a 5-10 mins bumpy walk. Pavements were uneven and shops were protruding so much that most of the time we had to walk on the road.

damn bloody fat. I MUST GO ON A DIET!!

When we were walking towards Central World. No extra time to spare at that momentt so we went on our last day.

before we went in, we saw this..

sigh.. gonna miss this again!!

Anyway, went in Zen and headed straight up to..

The Thais don't understand me when i asked them, "Excuse me, where's Sanrio?"

We had to ask them, "Where's Hello Kitty?"

LMAO!!

Stitch and Scrump!!

After grabbing all the cheap buys from Sanrio, we went on to try the recommended Food Loft. We almost forgot that we haven't eaten anything since morning, besides the snacks we got from 7-11!!

That's shows how extreme we can shop!

It works just like Marche in Singapore. You have to present your card everytime you order something.

The only difference is, food is served TO you. Don't even have to walk up and down to collect all your orders. Just sit, kiao ka and wait!

Setting is pretty modern too!!

Thai food again!! It's like we wanna try Tomyum soup and Thai curry from every stall that we went to. Ended up not eating any for the remaining days. HAHAHAH!!

After a very heavy brunch, we went back downstairs.

And there was a HUGE bear waiting for us!!

Continued with shopping and while Chris was searching for some nice shoes for her niece, i came across this pretty lil' pair!!

BF asked me why i didn't get it. I replied 'for who?' He said 'your future daughter.'

Good idea lei!! I shall vow to dress my future daughter in My Melody from head to toes.

But what if i get a boy?

Nevermind! There's always..

Minna No Tabo also can! So cute!

Haha.. Nonsense aside!! Back to topic!

We went round and round looking for the VAT refund!!

People kept giving us wrong info! It's the same like how when we're in the airport and can't be bothered to give passengers detailed directions. Karma. So lost can!!

When we finally found the information counter, then did we know that, goods purchased from Zen can only be tax refunded INSIDE Zen!

Bloody SA never tell us!

Finally!!!!!!!~~~~~

AFTER writing lots of crap, we also realised that we have to buy goods worth of 5k THB then can we REALLY claim our tax at the airport. If not, anything below that will be invalid to claim.

This is just not our day.

If only we can claim tax from..

then we will have a few more 100 thbs to spend!!

It was filled with people!! Had to be one of the shops with the most visits in the mall. There's even a security guard in there! That explained why there's no other pictures beyond this.

The latest series were so damn sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

I even politely asked for permission but was rejected. =(((((

After an hr or even longer,

Got out before we spend any more of our time in there. We had yet to conquer the other mega mall down the road, Platinum Wholesale Mall!!

Looking at all the shops in there can give us headache! Really don't know where to start!!

Decided to start with the highest level..

Food Court!! LOL!

Must take a break first before we chiong further. As the saying goes, 休息是为了走更长远的路!

Magnum anyone?

Fought with an auntie over a bag in Naraya and broke my gel nail!!

HAHA!!

No la.. was just browsing through the bags and realised that it was broken. Not sure when. Prolly when i was busy flipping through the bags. That shows the amount of serious 'flipping' i did. Hee..

After resting..

we shop and shop like nobody's business!!

This kind of wholesale buying can really 害死人!

Since everything had to be bought in 3 pieces and above in order to get the wholesale price(which is usually half of the original price), either me or Chris(Mel went off and got lost!) had to sacrifice everytime we saw something nice in a shop.

And so, most of the time, we had to die die squeeze out another item to buy. Ended up getting more than what we actually wanted.

Can keep what.. won't spoil ma. *self-console chanting*

some of the shops..

We left about 8pm 'cause the shops were starting to close. We've covered like 2 levels only lo. But we were very determined to go back the next day to continue the chiong-ing!

Walked back to Central World. Dinner was at KFC!!

Look at their menu!

So many more varieties than ours!

We also da-baoed Dunkin' Donuts back to our hotel for supper!

the sink at KFC! I wonder why they have to change the normal positioning to the side. Is it better this way?

That's Chris with ALL our shopping bags!

Leaving Central World.

And there was a party going on outside!!

with a full size bar!

Took a Tuk Tuk back to unload our stuff.

He was driving really fast!!

Prolly 'cause he had to give in to our bargaining and was pissed, so he took revenge!

A lil' crazy lo!! And we were squeezed to the brim with our loots!! Had to hold on to them, and also us onto the Tuk Tuk for our dear life!

My thigh is already out of the Tuk Tuk!

Cute handle. Reminds me of Serene. LOL!!

Unloaded and off we went again, to Suan Lum Night Market!!

The staff at KFC told us they are gonna be opened the whole night.

Yea right! ALL the shops close at 12am!!

Since we can't sleep, we extended the night by exploring their supermarket. And yes, it's 24 hrs!!!

There's so much to look at and buy!!

Stayed there til 3am. Gosh! My eyes were already starting to close!

Walked back to hotel with heavy bags of groceries.

Actually wanted to buy some food to cook with the kitchen provided.

But.. who's gonna cook!? Holidays are meant to be enjoyed!

Saw another mobile bar along the way.

My loots!!

the kitty head cost SGD20 only!! SG smelly smelly also selling for $40 and above.

There's so many cute doggy clothes at Central World! 1 piece is just about 10 bucks!

Each piece here cost no more than 200 baht(SGD 8).

199/250 baht's shoes!

I saw this selling for almost SGD 20 in Singapore. This one cost me just 220baht(SGD9.50)!! The kimono girl is so cute!

Some tees for BF.. around 200 baht each.

The place where i spent the most!! 3k baht(SGD130)!!

After that, i really ate grass for the rest of the trip. LOL!!

the drinks explained why my groceries are heavy.

Last but not least, because we buy so many things within a day...

you get an auntie trying to figure out how to squeeze everything in her luggage!!

LOL!!!

2010-01-03T01:17:00.003+08:00

I sooo wanna blog about my Bangkok Day 2!! Had already finished up the editing.

But i have no time!

Gotta sleep early tonight 'cause am going for yet another Batam trip tomorrow with my family and relatives.

So many Batam trips. My passport is filled with stamps from Indonesia, aside from Malaysia.

Will have to do so tomorrow!

P.S: Added new ads on the leaderboard and sidebar. Do click on them as often as you can!!

Diamonds!

2009-12-30T01:42:00.005+08:00

This is the 1st page of my iPhone's menu..

Some boring stuff..

but.. hey!! Spot anything different??

(besides the flower la!! meant to cover that 'cause it's a streaming app that was introduced by a friend and it's not to be revealed!! Plays REALLY hot songs!)

Apparently, i'm so obsessed with blings and diamonds that i've decided to put one RIGHT INSIDE my phone as my Service Provider!

ta-dah!! Sparkling pretty!!

Eating trip with my little sister..

2009-12-28T02:59:00.006+08:00

It's been a while since the 2 of us went out together for anything.

Since our parents 'abandoned' us for a wedding dinner and we were getting sick of home deliveries, we decided to eat out.

Borrowed car from BF 'cause he's working and got no use for it. Put in carpark also wasted. So we went over to pick it up from his workplace.

at the carpark, before setting off!

Dinner was at East Coast Lagoon Village Food Centre.

With the GPS app on my iPhone, getting there was a breeze.

But stupid me got the settings wrong.

Instead of putting on FAST route, i set to ECONOMICAL route! Petrol saving yes, but not on time. I went through so many traffic lights that i lost count!

satay beehoon, BBQ stingray, cockles!

visited the dirty toilet just to wash hands. The toilets there forever damn dirty!

Sis wanted ice-cream. Seach hungrygowhere.com but everywhere seems closed.

Only 1 place left.

Changi Airport.

Like urgh! Work there everyday, supper also need to go back there. No choice so we sped there 'cause i need to do 'business' too! LOL!!

After 'signing the contract and settled my super big business', we went over to .....

24 hrs!

First thing my sis said when we were shown our seats: 'eh, The iPhone Clan.'

Seated right to us were 2 more iPhone users. Their conversation made us laugh like mad. We even used Whatsapp to gossip about them!! Very bad hor!

While waiting for the ice-creams, practiced some self-shots and photo taking 'cause the button is veeeeeeery hard to press!

not bad eh?

enjoying our ice-cream!

Walked over to Terminal 3 to get newspaper for our parents and my sis suddenly acted like a tourist!! Got fascinated with everything and started snapping non-stop!

That explains why i appeared lesser in the photos. Everyday I see until sian. Haha..

But the Christmas balls were really cute. It's the theme for this year.

Last year was Mickey and Friends. I remembered how Terminal 3 became a mini Disneyland where everyone was fighting to take photos with the characters.

I wondered what's for next year??

Time flies. 4 more days to 2010!!

Have you made your New Year Resolutions yet??

I love this app!

Xmas Lighting @ Orchard

2009-12-19T23:16:00.008+08:00

This is the only picture that i have of the Sky Garden of Central@Orchard.

It was actually a lot bigger. They committed 2 levels to it. And there were lots of winding corridors.

The restaurants up there were gorgeous!! How I wish i can have dinner in one of them someday...

Anyway, had a tiff upon reaching town, thus the 1 and only picture. =(

But things turned out better after..

some Ben and Jerry!!

We bumped into this place after walking down some confusing escalators! Damn troublesome can!!

The escalators doesnt go down continuously. We had to go out to the carpark, enter by the next door then access the escalator to continue downwards.

Back to the ice-cream parlour..

This place was called Heaven's Loft. The setting of the place is divided into 2. One side was seats with silver couches and marvellous painting.

The other side were made up of the usual colourful round tables with silver chairs and tiny sofas!!

The entrance and display counter

I absolutely love their tables!!

'cause it can be turned 360 degrees!! Great for ice-cream sharing!! When you wanna eat the other side where there's another flavour, you just had to turn the table instead of the plate!

what an innovative rocking chair!

Then, we saw this large xmas tree in the middle of Central.

Pretty colours!

So we made it our mission to take pictures with ALL the xmas trees along Orchard Road.

The Ferrero Rocher Tree outside Taka

The 'flat' tree by the roadside

and lastly, the butterfly tree outside Paragon!

We missed out the huge one in Ngee Ann City 'cause by the time we walk until that area, it was almost 11!!

Some other pictures we took..

White lightings for Central@Orchard!

Even Zara look prettier than always. Prolly with the word 'SALE' will be even better?? haha..

The tree decorations for this year.

Each section has a different colour theme. Upper stretch was orange, followed by blue than red.

The new Mandarin Gallery.

Since it's opened, i haven't been there at all! Not that i have anything to buy there. But i will always remember how we had to walk past the whole stretch of the gallery to go from Takashimaya to Cineleisure, and how we had to walk up the mini stretch of 'bridge' outside Esprit.

Now it's gone!! =(

A few more pictures before we went to pick up our car at Paragon. .

Sat's parking after 5pm was dirt cheap! We only had to pay $3.37 per entry. Park Hotel was even cheaper at $2!!

All thanks to the Park-a-lot app on BF's iphone!

*******************

The tiff from last night was brought forward to the next day so i had to head over to Tampines Mall all alone to collect my pre-ordered iphone.

Was wearing the dress i bought from BKK. Cheap steal at 120 bahts! That's even lesser than 6 dollars!

After waiting for like 2 hours, where in between, i had lunch ALONE at Pastamania, ~~smoked~~ walked here and there many many times and finally got a seat after standing next to the Nokia booth for almost forever..

i finally got it!!

my iphone 3gs!

and no, Starhub did not give me the pretty pink skin. Instead, they gave me an ugly green ifrogz hard casing which i had to die die use in order to protect my phone before i get a replacement.

look at the pretty paw prints!! i'm glad that i bought the white one instead of the black. The girls chose it for me!

p/s: Am still in the process of editing BKK day 2.. i'm taking such a long time! ARGH!

My Recent Buys!

2009-12-12T01:15:00.003+08:00

Did overtime this morning at Terminal 3!!

Supposed to earn extra money..

But ended up working for free!!

Reason being, i shopped and worked at the same time!

As i walked from one counter to the other, i couldn't keep my eyes to myself and so, allowed them to wander into the Perfumes and Cosmetics shop.

And bought this!!

had always love their packaging

damn cheap and it was the last box!!

I was really lucky!! It must be fated. LOL!!

Bought this a few days back during my afternoon shift. Raspberry and white is delicious!! The retro-looking paperbag reminds me of the movie, The Stepford Wives!

And my latest read..

The Twillight Saga!!

Books are more detailed than movies, that's why i'm re-reading the 1st two.

Edward's definitely more charming when in print. Haha!!

Alrighty!!

Time to sleep! Nights!

It's girlies' night!

2009-12-10T19:35:00.010+08:00

Met up with the girls last night for some serious clubbing!!

Coincidentally, the date we fixed happens to be Butter's 1st anniversary!! There were soooooooooooo many people queuing up!!

So we got to the end of the line and queued!

So miserable.. we never had to queue when we club at DF!

While we were feeling damn miserable and trying to overcome it by taking pictures, a guy went past us and asked, "3 of you? Come! Follow me!".

We were shocked! Like so random lo! And follow him to where?!?

But of course, where else!!

Butter Factory la!

In a while, we're innnnnn!!

That saved us at least an hr of queuing!!

Thanks to.. Raylliam (not sure if it's spelt like that. his name is damn hard to pronounce! Karin heard William somemore! LOL!)

He looks like Malay but he's actually Chinese, i think?

Headed for the bar straightaway 'cause free flows' til 1 am only!!

while we're queuing..

cheers!!

Some random pictures..

There were lots of photographers who represented the different sites, shooting around!!

Got outside to take a breather and to deposit our bags. We were holding on to them the entire time!!

Took plenty of multi-shots!

Got back in and saw Glenn, my long lost team leader from Moto!

He's really a joker!!

There were this bunch of people who were dancing really crazily and bumping into us at the same time,

see!!

The girls in that group swayed uncontrollably, like nobody's business!!

Angry!!

So he took revenge for us!

by grinding the guys in that group!!

HAHAHAHAH!! See the look at that guy's face? PRICELESS!

After the free flow stopped, there were no more drinks to keep us high up in the air!

So our beloved girl fell asleep!

She really can sleep amidst all the noises!!

Then, we hopped to their homeground, Dragonfly.

And bumped into Jasline!

Alex came to join us too!!

DF = Hennessy

Me hate!!!

Then, we're off for some supper.. At Spize!

Yummy roti john!

Then, Home Sweet Home!

Movie-time with BF

2009-12-05T02:10:00.003+08:00

BF finished school at around 9. So he came over and we went par toh-ing!

Intended to use the free movie passes which i got, by changing my Genting Worldcard points. But decided that we should fully utilise it on weekend tickets. HAHA!

So we ended up paying 12 bucks for..

The bloody cashier didn't ask me whether i wanna offset with my UOB SMART$. Should had paid lesser than $12 loh..

Waited for the movie to start after dinner at S11. Western food as usual. Black pepper chop and cutlet.

Went crazy playing with my phone's smile function while BF read his ebook on iphone.

ME WANT IPHONE TOO!

OK.

Back to the movie,

Not too bad.. but was rather slow at the start.

Please do watch the 1st part before watching this. If not you will have a hard time following. Just like how i had to explain bits of it here and there to BF, who fell asleep when i watched it at his house.

More scenes for Jacob this time round and i actually find him more appealing than Edward. Sorry to his fans, but he's looking more and more like a drug addict to me. LOL!!

AND I REALLY ENVY BELLA!!

To have 2 guys protecting her AT ALL TIMES is like sooooooooooo shiok! Whenever she's in danger, one of them will just be there for her.

NO MATTER WHAT.

Jacob really gave a good sense of security, in my opinion.

May the 3rd part be out sooner! I can't wait for the Eclipse to be out!

Probably i'll just go get the 1st 2 books to read while waiting.

Bangkok - Day 1

2009-11-30T00:56:00.017+08:00

Finally done with Day 1's editing. Almost died.

Here goes!!

Don't be deceived by the pictures. We almost couldn't board the plane.

Was late to arrive at the airport. Chris had to go park her car and they wouldn't allow me to check in for her!!

We used to do that loh!! Why now cannot!

Horrible experience!

And history had to repeat itself when we depart from Bangkok. -____________-"

So boring.. 2 hours' flight can only eat chips and cup noodles. The only hot meal available is chicken rice.

I soooo wanted to try their Hokkien Prawn noodles!

In the end, we ordered..

laksa flavoured cup noodle, a can of coke and

shared by 3 of us!

We were starving after all the rushing and arguing with the airline's staffs!!!

After 2hrs and 15min, we arrived at the Land of Smiles!!!

Walked freaking far to collect our luggages..

Even with the travellators, there's still quite a distance to walk.

Collected my luggage and realised that my lock is gone!!

AND IT'S MY BELOVED 'MY MELODY' LOCK!! *sob*

Cannot claim 'cause i took low budget airline. Argh!

Went downstairs to get a cab.

Counters were there to issue tickets and assign cabs to customers.

There were many cabs in different coloura awaiting for passengers. There was only 1 pink one. And we got it!!

Chris' luggage is too big!! Car boot can't be closed so had to use a rope to hold it in place.

If not, by the time we reach the hotel, her luggage will probably not be there anymore! 'Cause the driver was driving at top speed of 140km/hr!!

So fast that my camera can't take it. The whole cab trembled too much!

Cab fare was very cheap!! Equivalent to about $8 for 30 kilometers of journey!

Still, we gave him 400 baht. We are too rich. HAHAHAH!!

Partly 'cause of this kind of generosity, we ended up becoming very poor towards the end of the trip. =(

Our sty for the next 3 nights

Here, you see 3 luggages, which evolves into some 6-8 bags later on during the trip. Haha!!

Our room..

Can't help camwhoring in front of the mirror at the sink!! Lights behind mirrors are the best lightings ever!!

Please bear with me! hee..

After settling down and took like 449734337277110 pictures , we went out to explore a bit.

This grand hotel was the most luxurious-looking one near our place.

Along the streets, there were plenty of mobile bars!! Super budget kind. Just a bar counter with couple of chairs and you can easily start your own business.

almost all of them had the led sign, just in different words.

As we were starving(the chicken rice and cup noodles already vanished into thin air), we went to this 'restaurant with open concept', as recommended by one of our colleagues, for dinner!

It was pretty difficult to locate 'cause there were so many restaurants with alfresco dining!!

Luckily i had the courage to venture into the place.

It's located along the street of Soi 11.

The bigger picture is exactly how it looks like from outside. Doesnt even look like a place for food!! It is quietly tucked into a small corner. The waiters inside don't even bother to come out and greet us! They were like seriously concentrating on their job inside.

After expressing our intentions(that we need food!!), we were shown to our table. The atmosphere of this place is very unique!

Just look at the pictures!!

the paper handtowels seriously look like tampons.

Halfway through eating, this pervertic Chris made me divert my attention from all the lovely food to........... a MAN'S BACKSIDE!

Actually not backside la. It's the bottoms that the male waiters were wearing.

Come to think of it, i dont recall seeing any female servers.

AND there was a really HOT waiter that looks a bit like Pierre Png. Too bad i didnt have his picture.

Anyway, here's the sideview of what he's wearing..

see the lump bulging out?

their pants were PLEATED into a nice 'you zha kway(fried fritters)'!!

Bought a pack of ciggy before heading over to Bed Supper Club. Adverts on their boxes are like 100 times worse than SG ones. When i got it from the cashier, i was damn turned off by the picture.

I wonder how the others looked like..

Please dont puke..

Anyway, this Bed Supper Club that we were heading to, is somewhere near our hotel. But because ALL the maps that i've got(about 5-6) had different 'preferences' on mapping out locations, we had a hard time figuring out exactly how we should go about gettin there.

Mel suggested taking a tuktuk.

Someone suggested asking the front desk.

WHICH WAS A BRILLIANT IDEA!!! 'Cause as it turns out, the club is just 1 block away. Which means it's damn fucking near!!

Prolly the tuktuk driver will think that we're mad or what, if we DID get one.

Under-dressed.

We just wanna go in to have a look. To get free entry, we only had to show our room key. Yes! It's free for Citadines' residents except for event nights where you have to pay a whopping entry of 800 bahts! Kill people Put fire!!

More expensive than clubbing in SG. Attracts mostly expats.

Bed Supper Club

Nothing special. The place was rather boring to me. Went in, snap snap and out we go!

For some shiok-a-nathan foot massage!!

Again, this is found along the very street of our hotel. We didnt even take any transport on our 1st night. Just 1 way to our hotel and that's it. Lots of things can be done in Soi 11. Nice place to stay in.

Maybe just a bit too many sex workers walking around. It's their red light district ma.. so no choice!

Strolled back to hotel after the massage. Weather was VERY cooling, about 20 degrees celcius. Especially when the wind came. Chris and I were freezing!! Both of us have very low tolerance against cold weathers.

Bought this from 7-11

When we're finally in our room, there was a piece of paper on the table.

So the hotel is having an additional number of channels and they've decided to start it on..

WHAT?!? 26th!! That's our departure date loh!! Damn!!

Sad to say, this is not the only '26th' we encounter.. Many more to come. In post Day 2, 3 and 4!!

Stay tuned!!

I'm back!!

2009-11-29T10:21:00.002+08:00

for 3 days already. Am late in uploading the Bangkok pictures. Editing is still in process.

Truckloads of picures!!

Having post holiday syndrome now.

All i could think of is how to conquer all of Platinum Mall's shop in 1 day the next time i'm there.

It is FREAKING big!!

And i missed out Khao San Road again! Nevermind, coming Apr... i die die have to go there!!

On a side note,

I PASSED MY JAP PAPER!! *shiok*

Started Intermediate 2 yesterday.

Listening comprehension practice at beginning of each lesson to prepare us for the listening test.

It was on numbers which is something that i use everyday at work.

So was pretty easy for me. No studying required!

On another note(hahaha!! i've got many notes),

I'm addicted to Sally's Salon on my DS Lite after playing with the Iphone version(Sally's Spa). I have always love games with similar genre to Diners' Dash.

Got so addicted that i didnt want BF to go home..

..with his Iphone. HAHA!

Okay! Eyes closing soon. Feeling very drowsy after my night shift.

Shall go sleep now and probably wake up at 4pm(if possible) for Dogrun with Niko at Pasir Ris.

Night peeps!

In Bangkok!

2009-11-24T03:14:00.002+08:00

Greetings from Bangkok!! Sawadee ka!!

Weather's cold here. Jetstar's pilot told us that it's 26 degree celsius when we landed.

But it doesn't seem so. It's more like 19 degree celsius. The cold wind made us shiver like we're walking in an air-conditioned shopping centre.

Pubs were still opened when we made our way back to the hotel after a foot massage. Happening!!

Visited a club just next to our hotel, Bed Supper Club.

Popped in for a peep and came out. Music is so not my type!!

But we'll return tomorrow. It's Hiphop night!!

Will be up at 9 tomorrow. Long day ahead!! So many places to go!! Our itinery's damn packed!

Streaming ON.. alarm ADJUSTED..

time to knock out!! Nights! =)

The other day, my fellow colleague from another team offered me this..

Horlick flavoured ones!!

I know there's Milo flavoured ones still being sold but i haven't seen the Horlicks ones around for the longest time!!

Probably as long as 20 yrs!! I loved them when i was a kid. Used to cost only 10 cents per pack. Now it has risen to a goddamn 80cents. Talk about inflation.

I miss it and the good old kiddy days!! Where my fortune was spent mostly at the 'mama shop'.

Does anyone miss it too??

By the way,

NEW STALL IN TERMINAL 3!!

Just looking at the boiling soup now makes me hungry.

They mainly serve steamboats with 3 different stocks(chicken, tomyum and herbal) with 3 different types of ingredients(seafood, chicken/pork/beef, assorted).

Tried the herbal soup with seafood in it. Ingredients were very fresh and the soup was AWESOME!! Smells strongly of herbs once the lid is lifted. Highly recommended 'cause it's super shiok especially on rainy days which is like almost everyday.

Stall is located in the foodcourt at Terminal 3, Basement 2, next to the stall selling western food. Do try it when you're there!!

On another note,

i'm over and done with the Intermediate 1's course of my Japanese language. Just took the final test this morning and is awaiting results now.

Once cleared, i can move on to Intermediate 2!

But, i'm worried about how far i can go. It's getting really difficult now. My job doesn't permit me to revise as much as i want to. I'm deadbeat everytime i reached home.

Furthermore, it seems like most of my classmates are either giving up or doing very badly. Not sure whether they have enough people at the end of the day to even start a class.

Worst case scenario.. hop over to another school! But learning style will be different and it takes time to adapt.

Shall see how things go.

Better not think too far, skali fail. HAHAHa!!

Time to get out of boring Singapore..

2009-11-20T02:17:00.003+08:00

... from 'yaya papaya'(arrogant) Singaporeans..

to the Land of Smilessss!!

3 more days to Bangkok!!!!

Back from movie!!

2009-11-18T02:21:00.003+08:00

Yeap.. just came back from this..

The film portrays cataclysmic events unfolding in the year 2012, as part of a possible prediction from the Mayan Calendar. Due to solar flare bombardment the Earth's core begins heating up at an unprecedented rate. This results in a series of Doomsday event scenarios plunging the world into chaos, such as California following off into the Pacific Ocean, the eruption of the Yellowstone National Park caldera, shifting of the continents by crustal displacement, Megatsunami impacts along every coast line on the Earth, and the flooding of the entire planet. The film centers around Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) and his family as they narrowly escape multiple catastrophes in an effort to reach ships in the Tibetan Himalayan Mountains and Dr. Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor), along with the governments of the world, attempting to save as many lives as they can before the disasters ensue.

Forget about reading the above if it's too wordy.

One word that i could say about the movie?

AWESOME!!

Not that i wish that it would happen lah!

But the graphics were really spectacular!! Breath-taking!! The entire Earth was destroyed right before my eyes! *heart still beating damn fast now*

It was pretty devastating to see everything gone. And it sets me thinking a lot about the show.

I think sometimes we took the Earth really for granted. It's our only home and we're destroying our dearest home with our own hands with all the pollutions and stuff.

Of course, in the movie it wasn't due to that.

BUT the same thing could happpen!! Greenhouse effect, temperatures rising gradually, ice caps melting!!

Gosh.. thinking of all these makes me feel 生在福中不知福.

If this is gonna happen, most probably Singapore will be way below sea level. Or even gone forever!!

*shudders*

Hope i dont dream about that later on.

Still on shows.. Currently i'm hooked on 2 dramas. Watching them concurrently while waiting for the episodes to be out.

Hongkong drama, 宫心计

and Heroes, Season 4

I'm so hooked that i watch them everywhere on my phone!! I could only wish that the episodes will be loaded sooner.

Waiting for them can kill!!

Alrighty, time to sleep. Morning shift again!! Time passes really fast when you're working shift. 3 shifts later, pay day!! And the cycle continues. HAHAHAH!! Quite shiok actually.

Nights Earth. Take care of yourself.

Boo.. i'm becoming a environmentalist soon. LOL!!

Supper after work

2009-11-14T00:58:00.009+08:00

I hate afternoon shifts.

I will always give in to the temptations of having supper. That's because i'm ALWAYS hungry after work! And by then, it's already way past dinner.

Don't eat, cannot!!! Eat liao, feel ultra sinful!!

Sigh..

Here's another night when BF came to fetch me for supper.

We went to 师奶香港茶餐厅!! Current favourite place 'cause there's so many varieties to choose from!!! Unlike the boring 兴旺茶餐厅.

while waiting for food..

BF's in office wear 'cause he's attached to a different department for the time being.

Got home soon after and saw 2 parcels waiting for me..

my loot from Ebay arrived!!!

My most favourite character, My Melody's schedule book

The other bigger box contains my phone covers. Ordered 2 different kinds. The other one is a silicon type in purple colour.

What's cute is that the seller also included something else in the package.

This!!

Haha.. cute piggy screenwipe but i doubt i will use it. Sweet of him/her though.

Sometimes receiving something extra makes the normal buyer-seller relationship seemed more heartwarming.

Yet another lanyard attached to a note(the standard one where instructions were given in case goods delivered were different).

******************************************

Suddenly thought of all the dumb people today..

as per my Twitter,

i posted that, today this guy came up to me and ask,"If i were to change money now at UOB, and when i change it back, do i get the same rate?"

WAH!! This question really makes me feel like rolling my eyes at him! If he can find elsewhere which does that, i will surely ask him to recommend me!

Then, another bimbotic stewardess came along,

"Can i change my shillings to SGD?"

*took a look at what she's holding* "oh.. we only accept the 1s and 2s EUR."

"oh.. ok. Then, can i change my shillings into a 1 EUR?"

FAINT!! Did she hear what she said or not? Somemore she was pissed when i answered her No, like as if i didnt understand what she said.

Stupid girl.

***********

Final Japanese lesson at 9am tomorrow!! Then, my mid-term on 17th and final term on 21st. Stressed!!!!!!!!!!!

Stuffs that were going on..

2009-11-13T03:07:00.006+08:00

Wow.. look at the time now!! Meant to start blogging at 12am! Sigh.. i can NEVER do things on time.

Showing Yeti on Starworld now. The Yeti looked different when standing still and when running!! To think that this is a 2008 show.. no standard! Made it look more like a show from the 80s..

The other day i went for my gel nails in-fill.

This was the 1st time after i did my gel extension, professionally. Shall not elaborate about the lousy experience that i had at my friend's nail parlour. Shouldnt even call it a parlour. Looks more like a kiosk to me.

Anyway, it grew longer.

Till there was a gap and gel no longer covers the entire nail.

So, 2 choices. Either i remove it TOTALLY or i go for an in-fill.

I pretty much love my extension so i went ahead with the in-fill. In-fills are also a lot cheaper than fixing the extension from scratch too!!

The end product

A closer view of the design

*****************************

Right now, my latest craze is .............. EATING MCDONALD'S!!

Heard about the Mcdonald's Monopoly game that's going on around?

If you havent, then you must be living in the well or simply meditating in the woods to gain immortality. *tsk tsk*

I'm hooked on it!

Right now, i'm short of a few pieces..

Thomson Road to win the Jetstar voucher for me to travel to more places..

Joo Chiat Road to win the much-awaited Ipod Touch to replace my lau kok kok Ipod Video..

Scotts Road to win 100,000 Esso Smiles points for BF's car's petrol consumption..

Shenton Way to win the Courts' voucher worth of $3,000 to buy my Ipod Touch in case i couldnt get Joo Chiat to win that.

Will any kind soul pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee donate your stickers to me? At least donate to anyone rather than throwing them into the bin.

Please do not follow what one of my friend did.

She ONLY wanted the grand prize of $50,000 so if the sticker is not blue in colour, she will just throw the whole lot away.

That day, it so happened that i just started this thing and was looking for more stickers to fill in the blanks. Asked from one of my colleagues who said that she passed the whole thing to her. BUT in the end, i didnt get it 'cause she already threw it away the day before.

The worst thing was, she couldnt remember all the stickers that she threw away.

All but ONE.

The 'Orchard Road' sticker.

The one and only sticker that could have won us a cruise vacation for 4 to Hawaii!!!!

Damn..

Heartpain!!! Sigh.. let's just cross our fingers and hope that she remembers it wrongly.

By the way, did anyone notice this?

A potato undressing itself on the box of the large fries. Something new and different from the usual 'double yellow lines'!!

Time to sleep.. cont' tomorrow!! Nights!!

wee~

2009-11-12T04:16:00.003+08:00

Love my pinky phoney!!

I'm excited!!

2009-11-11T12:13:00.003+08:00

I just booked a BKK trip for next year!! All within just 1 hr!

Total cost for 2 person: $216!!

Where to findddd!!

Luckily i opened my email last night and saw Jetstar's 24 hours madness promotion. And just right, at that moment, BF was on msn rushing his assignment. HAHAHAH!! After a round of 'forced' discussion, we settled on the date and ta-dah!!

I can't wait!!

Meetup with the girls!!

2009-11-09T01:40:00.005+08:00

It's been a long time since the 4 of us got together. We finally met up!! Full attendance!! Thanks to Twitter!

Despite sleeping for merely 3 hours, i still managed to force myself out of bed!! Cabbed down 'cause i was running late.

Dinner was at Kim Gary Hong Kong Cafe. An impromptu decision. We just couldnt decide what to eat!!

Chillout at Han's. The only place that has available seats in the smoking zone. Coffeebean and Starbucks had only like 4 pathetic tables.

Spent $4.50 on this no-standard rootbeer float. But it allowed us to stay all the way til 12am!!

Caught up with each other, gossiped about stuffs that were going on around us and screamed at the cockroach that came to disturb us halfway through. Super funny!! The cockroach made Ms Toh jumped onto my chair!!

Got chased by Han's at 12am 'cause they were closing. Wanted to go over and meet BF but i think his phone drop into the toilet bowl. Never answer!! *BOO*

Before i go continue my date with the now super hot HK drama, 宫心计,

pictures of webcam-ed me!!

Nights!! *muack*

All about food!!

2009-11-08T02:38:00.008+08:00

Yea.. took only food and more food photos recently.. LOL!!

Night shift's lifestyle is damn fcuking boring.

Routine: Work til morning. Go home and serve my dishes in Cafe World. Sleep. Wake up for dinner. Prepare. Off to work again.

This continues for another 5 nights. Argh!

But it's the only time where you get free time in the counter. Like now. To do whatever you want if you decide not to rest.

See what i mean? Bo lang!!(of course this was taken beforehand.. how can the shops be open at this time?!)

The only downside of it is that you get haggard. HAHA!! And they were saying, the extra money that we're paid on night shift is not even enough to go for facial to restore our youth and complexion.

What to do.. that's life.

Ok, complained too much..

Pictures.. of food!! (Btw, i love Photoscape. So fast so convenient!! Way better than Photoshop which takes FOREVER to load. What's more, it's free!!!)

The other day before work, BF and i went for dinner at Waraku. Despite going there umpteen times, i still like it!

Their pasta is good
Set lunch/dinner is worth the money
Serving is generous.

There's never an occasion where i leave the place still feeling hungry.

Total bill: $33 for 2 sets of dinner(pasta for me, grilled chicken for BF) that comes with a drink, salad and corn soup.

I used my airport vouchers and waived off $30. So ended up, we paid only $3. HAHAHAHAH!! Shiok!

This was when i was working at the counter just in front of Starbucks. 2 girls went around giving free sandwiches!!

2 reasons: either they were promoting their new product OR it's gonna be expired soon.

In this case, the sandwich's expiry date is 7 Nov which is the next day.

I contemplated for awhile before eating it.

Then, I took a bite and threw it away. Sorry for wasting food but it just doesnt suit my taste buds, not because it's spoiled or what.

Cooked by me!! I have cravings for pasta most of the time. I can eat the same meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner!! Was thinking.. instead of ordering from Pastamania ALL the time, might as well learn how to cook. The recipe is getting perfect now.

My linguine used to be soggy and overcooked. Now i'm able to grasp the right timing. Perfect!~

And i can mix whatever ingredient i want in it.

Before coming to work, i had chilli tuna + prawn + taiwan sausage + linguine. LOL!!

Alrighty, time to rest.. Gonna wakey at 5am to continue the damn night shift. *boo!!*

Conversation of the day

Customer:"What is the rate of the Indian Rupees?"

Me: *pointing at the ratex board* "100 Indian Rupees for SGD3.20, Mdm."

Customer:"ok.."

After giving her the money..

Customer: "so how much is this? *holding up a piece of 100 Indian Rupees*

Me:*rolls eye + scold @$%^#@!! inside my head* "100 Indian Rupees for SGD3.20, Mdm."

Ta-dah!!

2009-11-04T02:11:00.007+08:00

A picture tells a 1000 words..

so i'll just let the pictures do the talking!!

That's me!!

I need to climb up a chair to take this picture of my face. Don't know why the hell they wanna put me so high up.. #$%%$@!!

Dinner at The Pasta Shop by Sakae Sushi

2009-11-03T17:36:00.008+08:00

Woke up earlier than usual for night shift so met up with Chris for dinner before work. No idea where to eat.. Picked The Pasta Shop 'cause it seems like the only place we haven't tried in the airport.

i love!! Very bright and cheery!!

The place was rather empty.. only another table, besides us were taken.

Food was served fast!!

My Chilli Vongole. So-so.. Taste like chilli crab, as what Chris said.. Portion of clams were pathetic. Got shell no meat.

Chris' Fxxxxxx chicken pasta(i cant rem the full name, just know that it starts with F and no, it's not fucking). It was tasty but a little on the salty side. Great for those who love salty stuff.. it was too much for me and just right for her.

Our side order. Chicky Chicken. Must order early for this 'cause it will take some time to serve.

And it's worth the wait! The white stuff is cheese, oozing out from the chicken, just like chicken cordon bleau!! Goes really well with the sour plum sauce that was served together. If given a choice, i would rather eat this with rice than my pasta.

Total bill was $49 with an order of Coke light.

Expensive hor? Probably that's the reason why it's so deserted. Luckily we have airport vouchers to waive off $40 and pay only $9.

One stupid thing we did..

we forgot to ask for staff discount.

Shitty!

just a thought..

2009-11-03T05:54:00.002+08:00

i've got boring colleagues for team mates

AND

i feel ignored by the girls..

S A D D E D!

Jb Trip @ 16 Oct

2009-11-02T00:33:00.012+08:00

The main point of the trip was to go for this 淋巴按摩. It's known to firm up the body(including the neh neh part), reduce water retention, ease congestion and lose weight. Most of my colleagues said it's good so i decided to tag along. haha..

Reached JB about 11am. I wanted to eat bak kut teh since i havent eaten it for the longest time, but, well, i was with 2 non-bak ku teh eaters.. So we ended up at Old Town@City Square. boo!

Breakfast @ Old Town. Love their toast!!

After all the eating, we took a cab down to Jalan Molek. It's done inside a bungalow. There were only 2 masseuses so 4 of us had to take turns.

While waiting, time to take pictures..

The place was pretty big.. 2 storeys high.

Boo!!

Waited for another 1 hr or so, finally it's our turn!!

They applied something first to open your 淋巴 then apply more oil to begin the 'scrubbing'. It was done by using a brush lookalike, except that the bristles on the brush were made of hard plastic.

It was bloody painful!! Might be due to the 'congestions' in my body as what she said. The scrubbing of my inner thighs was HELL!! Wonder how can anyone relax during this kind of massage.

The only time when i felt sleepy was when she massaged my head which.. i didnt ask for. It was shiok but my hair ended up becoming DAMN oily for the rest of the day and i couldnt wash it at a salon 'cause we had to wait 4 hrs later.

So yea.. i walked around like i was wearing a wig on my head.

Anyway, next, we took a cab down to Holiday Plaza. Had KFC before going for manicure and pedicure at our favourite Nail Studio.

That's my Etude House loots on the left!! 8 items for 140 ringgit.. Cheap!! It's a lot cheaper to buy Etude House stuff from JB since they are having a sale.. 50% off!!

My pedicure that cost 60 ringgit.

I got my Oceanus body spray from The Bodyshop!! It's always said to be discontinued but still hanging around the shelves everytime i go past. It's like my most favourite scent from there so i'll always try to grab 1 if i can. I cant bear to see it gone!! Aiming for the huge shower gel next! 40 ringgit!

Supper at Punggol Nasi Lemak after we came out of JB. Wanted to go Chomp Chomp but was packed. Xing Wang Hk cafe had a bloody long queue. It was the eve of Deepavli, that's why.

That's all for my JB trip. Can't wait to go again!! I wanna eat my bak ku teh!!

New blog header!!

2009-11-01T19:48:00.003+08:00

Spent lots of efforts though it looked simple. At one point the net book stopped for a while and i panicked. Luckily i waited. Everything resumed and i heaved a sigh of relief 'cause i didn't save my work!!

Boring Halloween for me.. No dress up and no parties.

Just a quiet dinner with BF and friends at Suki sushi and a movie about 2 hrs later. Watched 'Jennifer's body' and it sucked. Just as corny as 'Drag me to Hell'. Should have watched Saw 6!!

Alrighty.. time to order dinner from Pastamania and back with updates on recent mini JB trip.

experimenting with scrapbooking..

2009-10-31T19:18:00.003+08:00

here's another one..

looks noob.. but i'm still trying..

First scrapblog

2009-10-31T00:15:00.003+08:00

Eventful day..

2009-10-30T01:06:00.013+08:00

First of all.. start off with a picture of the yummy brownie that Angela offered me the other day.

很好吃！！

Alrighty.. today was the usual quite-hated morning shift. Late 'cause took a very late bus and reached work at 7:25!!

After finishing the morning flights, we had breakfast..

Order of someone.. think 7 days nvr eat..

Mine..

Then, while having this sumptuous breakfast, and while talking to my sup, we heard a loud bang!

Both of us ran out to see what had happened. But everything was normal and my other colleagues suggested it might be the trolley that had collapsed which made that sound. But i didnt hear a metal clanging sound. It was something solid. But we quickly dismissed it and continued with work.

After eating, i went to my pos and was sorting out my stuff when i heard a sound coming from the mini refrigerator. It was similar to the sound of ice-maker making ice and dropping them into the container.

Out of curiosity, i slowly open the mini refrigerator's door and this is what i saw..

I was thinking, 'How the hell did rocks get in??!!' 2nd thought came in, 'did the roof of the fridge broke?' Then, that's when i smell it.

It was coke. Stuck in the freezer. My sup had to dig it out, with me standing far far away, afraid that it will explode again.

The remains..

The inside of the freezer..

I think i know who but not revealing names. Either they forgot or just plain stupid. Basic science, liquid solidfies and when they have no space, the container burst.

Luckily i wasnt opening the fridge's door when it happened. Cant imagine..

On a happier note, BF came to pick me up from work today!

We went over to the place that i've always wanted to eat. Claypot Fun!!

Love the setting!! Like eating in the olden days..

But you gotta be prepared to wait..

It really actually took 30 mins i think..

The chicken came on top of the rice. I took it out so that it would be easier to stir. I don't wanna risk getting my chicken all over the table. Overall, the chicken and mushroom were good. Rice was tasteless but you gotta add the sauce in to stir. And put ALOT! It really makes a difference.

After eating, you can ask them to add in soup for an additional charge of 2 bucks.

The soup merged with the burnt rice and gives you another way of eating the remaining rice. No wastage and i bet it's easier to clean after that too!!

Total damage: $22 with extra order of a pepsi and a beer.

Farah's birthday & Mylene's farewell

2009-10-28T22:06:00.007+08:00

It was a day to have dinner with my colleagues with 2 totally different mood. One was to celebrate the 'growing' up and the other was to say goodbye.

Anyways.. we'd decided to celebrate the happy one first so that the mood will not be dampened. Happy first than sad should be easier than the other way round!!

The BIRTHDAY

The FOOD

The FAREWELL

And some random pictures that i took.. location was at Breeks, Changi Airport T2.

Just like what i'd predicted, there were tears when it was time to go.

Touching moment.. =~~~(

Could see that she cant bear to leave us.

But life's like that.. things were never fair.

Goodbye Mylene.. all the best in your future endeavors!

We'll miss you..

Dinner with parents

2009-10-26T01:49:00.005+08:00

Was at Oasis..

After dinner, we went over to Grandma's house. Hates going there 'cause i have a stubborn uncle. Talking to him really makes my blood boil. Not that i can speak to him anyway. My hokkien sucks. I had to ask my parents to translate what i want to say. But whatever we say just doesn't get into that stubborn mind of his. Give up!! Only resort: go ahead with things and don't let him know.

Bloody hot day!! What is going on with the weather nowadays!! Grr..

Random..

2009-10-25T17:32:00.004+08:00

The other day when i was working at Transit South, one of the Starbucks staff went around giving out this..

It really perked me up!! 'Cause it was close to the end of the shift and i was feeling rather sleepy.

The mooncake (happened that the mooncake's festival was just round the corner) was white chocolate-coated with lotus paste beneath it and custard for the centre.. and as if they know that i don't really have a sweet tooth, it came with black coffee that was soooo bitter on its own, yet it complemented the mooncake very well!!

Oooo.. I'm drooling now.. *slurp*

Fulfilling off days!!

2009-10-25T00:21:00.003+08:00

I took leave on the last day of my afternoon shift so that i could meet up with BF.

I slept over . The next day, we went to Vivocity, shopped for his shirt and pants, bought tics for movie, spent an hour in Daiso just to wait for the movie to start and went into JB the next night for supper.

We rarely have the chance to spend an entire day together as our shifts clashed but doing this once in a blue moon is just wonderful!!

Perhaps, like what they day, 'Absence makes the heart grows fonder'. Sometimes seeing too much of one person might just make the relationship gets too boring..

Well, he's on night shift now.. and i'm miss him!!

Shall go disturb him before i sleep.. Nitez!!

Grace's Birthday!

2009-05-06T01:12:00.008+08:00

Had a mini celebration for her at Sanur Indonesian Restaurant @ Taka.

After lunch, we proceed on to do some shopping! In the end, i spent all my Taka vouchers! *heartpain*

my loot..

bought the very pretty Paul & Joe loose powder, pressed powder and blusher.

and..

a Gucci Messenger Bag.. That's my MSI Wind at the back..

Also bought this a few days ago.. so pwwwwwwwweeeety!!

That's it!! No more shopping til next month!! Buy somemore.. i'm gonna eat grass already..

Dinner at Manpuku..

2009-04-17T21:34:00.005+08:00

This is like an abandoned child already. =( *sayang*

Anyway.. back again to show it some love.. LOL!!

Met up with BF after work and went over to the new Tampines One for a look.

New places always attract kaypoh S'poreans. Carpark was full even at 4pm!!

Lots of new shops in there! There was one particular shop with a bloody long queue outside. Uni Qlo. Had a glance and saw some Japanese words with prices.. prolly the cheap + imported stuffs in there drew all the attention.

After exploring the entire place of 5 storeys high, we decided to eat at Manpuku, a Japanese Gourmet Town. Old concept with a new theme. Something like Marche but in Nihon style! Prices were reasonable and i'm definitely going back again!! Wanna try the Hokkaido Ramen!

Busy Busy this coming end Apr!!

David's wedding - 13 Dec 2008

2008-12-21T18:58:00.002+08:00

The day started at 3+am. It's the first time i'm involved in a wedding that starts that early!

Lots of people were already there when i went over after work the day before. Stayed over for the night so that i could help out too. Didnt get a good rest though. They played mahjong in the room so i had to lie on the massage chair which is the only place available.

Time flew when you're about to doze off and it's 3+am already!!

His brother's 兄弟s were already downstairs and it was a mad rush upstairs!! Everyone who needs to tag along rushed to bathe and get ready. Soon everyone was out.. so we rot till about 5.30 and got prepared for them to arrive for the tea ceremony at 7am.

Was so tired that i fell asleep on the sofa while waiting. hee..

That's about all that took place in the morning..

Pictures!!

mother of the two kids!

BF having his break before rushing out of the house again!

Then we went over to the hotel to get ourselves prepared for the night. The rest of his family were not there yet so i rested in the helpers' room with the brides' 姐妹s first. Took turns to use the bathroom and i finally dozed off on a computer chair(chair again!!).

Woke up at 3pm and the family arrived gradually. I'm the first to get my face 'painted' by the make-up artiste.

Her skills were ok but one thing very irritating is that we had pay extra if we wanted fake lashes. Not cheap.. $25 more!

I told her i have my own so just need to stick it for me will do. ALSO HAVE TO PAY HOR!! $10 for sticking!

No choice.. eyeshadow already on.. if i knew it, i would have stuck it on beforehand MYSELF! So yea.. suck thumb and pay!

**

Changed into my dress and proceeded downstairs to settle myself at the reception. Fiddled with the laptop abit and was ready for the crowd. Soon, the place was filled with people and a mini commotion started about the table arrangements but it was soon solved. Dinner began a little later than planned but luckily, everything was well-controlled by the emcee.

Picturesss!!

Emcee for the night.. Nick Shen!!

I was bored at the table 'cause BF was always not around. Luckily i've got BF's sis with me.. Jocasta!! She's a little beauty when dolled up!!

here is the busy bee.. swallowing down the fantastic fried rice in cream sauce!

Jocasta and relatives..

Me and his family..

And finally, the newly-wed couple. With BF as an extra. He was high so his eyes looked funny. So i had to give him prettier ones.

Spent the night there 'cause no one could drive properly and there's the mixup between a Toyota Altis and a Honda Jazz(inside joke.. laughed like mad!). I slept like a pig.

It's amazing how fast it all ended when almost a year of efforts were spent.

Congratulations, David and Karine!!

as above,
i'm going shopping tomorrow!!

Gonna go for lesson in the morn at 10am and afterwhich hop over to たかしまや(got called by teacher to read this out at today's lesson) to grab colleague's christmas present.

We will be having our very own gift exchange session on the last day of this morning shift so i have to get it ready by then!!

Names were picked and only those who picked will know who they have to buy for and those who got picked are clueless about who's buying for them. I wonder who picked me.. I got totally no clue about what to buy!! Don't really know her and i can't go around asking! Just have to tikam then.

I hope she will like whatever i gave her. Afterall, it's the thought that counts right? hahaha..

*edited

sorry girls!! i can't go for the pre-xmas dinner due to you-know-what reasons which will cause the same grumbling and cold war to start again.
in fact it's starting now already.

can we have a post xmas one instead?
pretty pleasssssssss!!

a post before i knock out

2008-12-17T23:40:00.003+08:00

Gonna post up photos of BF's brother's wedding once i'm done with the editing.

Photoscape really helps alot!! Just drag and drop x n and voila!! A nice page with several pictures in different arrangement!

**

Just came back from a very sumptuous meal at Imperial Treasure @ Crowne Plaza. It was a post-F1(though the gap's abit too long) celebration. Total damage was $460+ for an 8 course meal for 11 person. We felt that it's very worth it considering the dishes we had. But one thing bad was, after we went to the carpark, i ran to the toilet and LAO EVERYTHING OUT!

Damn wasted!

**

Lessons' going well at Bunka. Getting a lil' fast paced now so i'll need to concentrate 100% and revise everyday. Haha.. more hardworking than during my school days.

**

Coming fri gonna have an early X'mas dinner with the girls!! I need updates!!

**

X'mas eve's plan is still unknown. Tentatively, i'm still going to my auntie's house. Other than that, not too sure. It's hard to plan something when you have unco-operative colleagues.

ok.. eyes are closing.

お(ﾉ￣0￣)ﾉや(o￣・￣)oす(。＿＿)。みzzz..

Taiwan Day 2!!

2008-12-11T02:36:00.003+08:00

Rise and shine!!!

We woke up from our super cosy beds and head down for breakfast. The cafeteria was soo filled with people, mostly Japanese that we had to eat in their private room, supposedly reserved for meetings or conferences.

Then, it's back to our beloved coach for another day of traveling on road.

We went to 九分 Jiu Fen to experience the kind of different living lifestyle from the city area. Most of the houses were pretty old and was built uphill. 芋圆, a kind of dessert was their specialty. Every 5 mins you walk, there will definitely be a stall selling it.

Jiu Fen

Singapore's so small!! We coincidentally bumped into our ex colleague of Kikuzushi who also happened to be in the same tour group as us!!

After that, we went back to the coach and continued our journey to the temple.

while we're on our way there..

There's something special about this temple.

It houses 3 exact statues of the Chinese god(i can't remember what's the name). 1 on each level. Of different materials.

The first one is made of wood.
2nd one made of jade.
And the last one is made of gold.

In order to see all of these, we had to climb all the way up. It's not as easy as you think. There were 2 flights of stairs for each level. So it's like climbing up 6 storeys up and down again. Plus with all the squeezing and pushing 'cause it was rather narrow, lots of energy were lost. But it was still worth it.

I love the jade one the most!!

There were stalls outside selling shredded peanut and ice-cream wrapped in popiah skin. Highly recommended by our tour guide. It was heavenly!! Cheap and good!!

When we were about to leave in our coach, there was a parade of gods on the street. I think it was an special day(either one of the god's birthday or some festive thingy going on) and the parade was by another temple who came to visit.

After leaving, we headed to 长春词. It was built to remember those who passed away during the building of some structure. I think tunnel or what.

*shit* I should have listened more attentively.

We made a pitstop for toilet break and the scenery there was awesome!!

Mum and Dad. Look at the mountain and clouds behind. I swear the real thing looks 1000 times more breath-taking.

Before we even reach the pitstop, there's one more place we had to go through first.

It was this tunnel!!

This is the 雪山隧道. Going through it will take at least 20 mins to reach the other end. It's a lil' longer than our KPE, but likewise, there's also speed limit to follow. If you exceed the speed limit, the guards will make an annoucement through their PA system and when sound travels within the tunnel, our tour guide said it sounded like 啊飘 AKA.... ghost. *eerieeee~*

The space is really small and when our coach went in, the space seems like it is only able to allow the coach to travel with no more space for any other cars.

And the good thing about this tunnel?

It brings you directly from Taipei to Hualien.
Cutting short the journey by a few hours. Reason being, it cuts right through the heart of the mountains that stood between these 2 provinces.

It was said that the former former president had invited people from many countries to come help him construct the tunnel but many of them said it's quite impossible to cut through the mountains. But he didnt gave up. He used explosives and manpower to gradually open up the 'belly' of the mountain and when he's finally done, he invited the same group of people back again and they were astonished by what he did.

ok!! 'nuff about the tunnel before i sound like a History teacher.

We reach 长春词!!

Our tour guide took us to the photo-taking spot where we took a very far(i had to zoom and take with steady hands) picture of the little house that contains the ashes of those people. She didnt bring us over 'cause it's a long walk over and to go and see and come back is a lil' bit waste of time.

Instead she brought us to the cafe that was located at the bottom of the mountain to try their 'superb' coffee.

I find it so-so and it's not cheap lo!! To pay about 5 bucks for a coffee and a slice of cake is not in my taiwan's 'dictionary' of cheap and good food.

And actually, i dont really fancy our tour guide.

Throughout the whole 7 days' tour, she only knew how to 'down-sell' Singapore. Kept criticising about this and that in Sg.
Talked about our Singapore flyer and she said, 'so what?' -_-"

It was entertaining at first. Just like watching a variety show in real life. After like a day or so of hearing bad stuff about your own country, you get sian and start feeling irritated.

IMO, she's a lil' too arrogant, biased and too straightforward.

Anyway, back to the trip..

our tour guide, after seeing all of us behave so well in front of the traffic marshall(we bumped into one before going into 雪山隧道. He came up and started asking us questions about safety in the coach and to which, we must answer him like students in school. Of course, we were already well-trained by her beforehand. LOL! But i learnt something from it!! Now i know that the little hammer in buses can actually break windows during emergency situations but only at the right places of the glasses, which is the 4 corners!!), decided to give a lil' treat.

freshly made mua chee!!

Because it's freshly made, its expiry date is the day after tomorrow. So there's no chance for us to bring it back. Hence, she decided to let us have a taste of it. Different from the normal mua chee 'cause of the different rice used.

Next stop, Ah mei aboriginal village! 啊美文化村!!

They put up performances for us and during the last segment, i got dragged to go up for a mass dance.

Difference between the aborigines and city people: they can sing, dance and alot darker with sharp features!!

Amazing discovery though, 徐若宣 has got aborigines background!!

Last stop.. Back to HOTEL!!!

for dinner and checking in of rooms.

dinner was served in buffet style. We were told to drink a glass of apple/grape vinegar before attacking the food in order to stimulate our appetites. Lots of variety to choose from!!

Room was huge with triple beds AGAIN!

Quite boring to stay there as there were no night markets anywhere within 1000 miles radius!! lol.. ok i'm kidding.. But it was a rather rural place so i doubt we can even go out lo.

Watched half an ep of 不良笑花(yes.. it was telecasted in Taiwan in Aug. By now it should have finished. Mediacorp now then started broadcasting it. SLOWWWW!!) before knocking out.

DAY 3 continues...

i love にほんご!!

2008-12-06T12:30:00.002+08:00

Lessons gonna start officially on Tues but i can't wait so i loaded this game, 'My Japanese Coach' into my DS Lite to warm up a lil first.

Although it's just a game but the structure and way of teaching is almost as good as having a private tutor!!

Now i can write almost all of the hiragana and construct simple questions and sentences!! I can now put 1000 hearts and not worry about not being able to catch up with the patented system of the school!

I shall go continue with my あいうえお now!!

slurp random post after a nice bowl of hot noodle soup in the chilly transit

2008-12-02T04:51:00.002+08:00

time check.. 4.52am.

Soon, i'll need to shutdown and wait for the crowd to come in. Boring~

Last night, BF went to a particular Japanese restaurant for dinner and almost got his little bro burned. Apparently, this clumsy waitress emptied the entire bowl of ramen on his lower body! In the end, they paid for his consultation and dinner was on the house.

But he washed his bermudas by himself and i thought he ought to get them to buy him one. Too kind lo. If it's me, i think i will bring the whole restaurant upside down! So embarassing..

ok ! 5am liao.. shutdown shutdown!!

1 day to his new baby..
6 days to the damn phonecall..
7 days to 1st day of Jap class..
11 days to my super long weekend!!

Let's GO with the girls!!

2008-12-01T02:54:00.003+08:00

Best pickup line of the day: HEY!! IT ME?(inside joke. LMAO!!!)

i missed the times when we had 'Let's Go!' sessions with Yang, Royston and co.

In case you didnt know, it started when we were bored at home with nothing to do. Then, suddenly Yang will say 'Let's go!!' and Royston will come fetch all of us with his lau kok kok lorry and we would all go find places to roam around in the night which included prata houses, parks and jetty. This thing actually started long time ago. We were already the more recent new generations. Old generations included members like Meiting, Lijuan and some other people.

It was fun! Especially on nights when you couldn't sleep and was hungry. There's always something to look forward to.

I decided to relive the memories now that i have a license!!

Different people this time round. It was with my girls!

Since BF is going to get his new car next week, i figured i had to drive his old baby for one last time before going from manual to auto. Boo!! I will definitely miss driving a manual car!!

It was a rocky journey 'cause i haven been driving for the past 1 month or so. I drove for an hr and a half straight!! Went from Sengkang(my house), to Tampines, then Kallang and finally, Tiong Bahru. Went through almost every single expressway that ever existed!! TPE, KPE, ECP, CTE(took a wrong turn), PIE!!! Only left BKE, SLE and AYE lo!! Gosh!!

After fetching ah Lye, we went to a nearby Hongkong cafe to chill. Most pics on food 'cause all of us look chui!!

I want more of this please!!

Note to self: Must get used to driving so that i can venture into the super challenging roads like Geylang and Little India. Must also practise more on parking esp vertical and slanted ones which i suck bigtime.

All i want for Christmas is................

2008-11-29T15:34:00.003+08:00

you!!

MSI Wind in White!

Melody temptations!

2008-11-26T23:25:00.003+08:00

Me and my sis just came back from Bugis and from my New Body class. Class is good today. My left foot and right hemstring seems to not hurt so much during the exercises. Hope both of them get well soon!!

Before we went up to Amore, we passed by somewhere and went crazy. Touching almost everything and going, 'SO CUTE!!' every 5 secs.

i ended up with these.

new pencil case for my Jappie class and a new pouch to replace my kitty one

Hubert's birthday @ Bar De' Alto

2008-11-25T00:45:00.003+08:00

hey hey, girls!! I'm the first to blog about this!! I'm not the last one anymore!!

Went over after my dinner with parents. Reached at 11pm and everyone was already there.

Was quite bored at first 'cause it was not his bday yet so all of them were not even 'high' yet!! Everyone was like drinking in an 'ah pek' style. Super casual. The girls were waiting for me so that we can get the ball rolling but too bad, i had to wake up at like 5 plus this kind of kuku timing in the morning.

So we did the usual!! CAMWHORING!!

with the girls!

the birthday boy

and Casheee, the 'always-wanna-take-revenge-on-me' guy, ALWAYS remembered what happened on the yacht. hahah!!

the table of drinks

Seeing them like that makes me feel like sleeping so i said, 'ok i'll drink a little.' and we started playing games. The games got more and more exciting till i was drinking quite alot by then.

Play simi Double 7!! My heart almost jumped out!

Then, the clock struck 12.

Happy birthday Hubert Lim!!

He was playing pool at that time so all of us gathered over for his mini cake cutting ceremony.

combining the presence of his pool stick, the fork, and the white + yellow pool balls, doesn't this reminds you of ermmm.. that 'you know what'?? *creepy*

blowing out the candle

the 'kana-stabbed-by-fork' cake

he looked as if he's trying to blow away the 2 balls

that poor poor $7k pool table..

Suddenly, i heard them call me.

'Vivian Vivian, your favourite drink!! Graveyard!!'

Then, i saw it.

SO MANY!!!

*stupid kimmy dunno doing what at the back..

Though it's my favourite, but i can't drink la!! How to wake up next morning?!?!

So i became their photographer. LOL!!

They split into 2 groups. Girls and Guys. The boss will push one of the shooters and the domino effect will cause the shooters to fall into one of the glasses., mixing the shots and guiness stout.(i failed to take video of it man!! too dark!!) And they are supposed to drink it.. like a relay competition.

And the game starts!!

First up,

ex-waitress from Central and Fuming(*zoom in on Karin's face* she looks like she's queuing up to drink poison!!LOL!!)

next, is Kimmy and guy A(dunno his name)

then it's Fransca and guy D.

What happened to guy B and C??

haha.. turns out while Kimmy was still at that 2nd picture drinking, she was so slow that guy B and C already came up and finish theirs.

SOOOO obviously,

the guys won!!

*eh.. Fuming, got so happy anot!?!

And because Lis and Rin were at the back,

they didnt managed to drink their share.

And because they lost, the guys ordered 5 more for the girls as punishment!!

i couldnt resist it anymore!! *slurp*

Rini's Wedding!!

2008-11-17T23:54:00.004+08:00

Attended my best colleague's wedding yesterday at Bedok. It was my first Malay wedding!! Used to think that in a Malay wedding, guys and girls were separated at tables. Meaning they dine separately. But since my colleague is the modern kind of Malay, seatings were random.

Didn't really eat alot of the food though 'cause my tastebud was quite particular. But i do love the little cakes that she distributed to everyone!!

here's the pretty bride!!

with a group of colleagues

yet another group

not ready laaaaaaa!!!

me with the bride

with the entire team! well.. almost. Some chose to absent themselves for this big day.

No pictures of the groom though. He was supposed to arrive later 'cause he was at his side of the ceremony. They had to hold 2 ceremonies at the same time but at 2 different venues. So different from the Chinese!!

*pls bear with the qualities of my pictures. They were taken with my phone.

On a side note..

I'm starting school on 9th of Dec!!

Signed up for Japanese classes at Bunka Language Private School. Elementary 1 for 2 months. Pretty intensive i think. Hope i can understand the lesson.

Pray for meeeee!!

2008-11-12T23:07:00.002+08:00

am i really that bad?

yet another random post while waiting for the flights to land..

2008-11-11T22:50:00.004+08:00

another one of my favourite performance by Danceflow..

Everytime i watched this, the song(Janet Jackson's Someone To Call My Lover) and their moves will keep playing in my head for like the entire day!! Completely can't shake it off.. oooo.. but i like!!

**

I'm in the process of editing photos of my TW trip day 2.. hahaha!! I know it's long but good stuff are worth waiting for ya?

But don't expect too much from me laaa!! I'm not a pro in this ok?

The scarcity of small JPY notes is driving me nuts!!

2008-11-09T23:39:00.003+08:00

I wanna screammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! *AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

I'm already hating night shifts and now i'm also hating Singaporeans who buy JPY from me.

Cannot stand it when they buy JPY 10,000(1 pc) and want it in small bills(10 x 1,000).

We are usually issued the 10,000 bills so it's quite impossible to give them small denos and even if we have, it will not be in abundance too. So we have to use it sparingly and if 10 customers change, we have to give out 100 pcs and that is crazy.

Gosh.. where to find so many for themmmmm??!!??!!

So i have to keep rejecting customers to save the bills for rainy days which resulted in black faces from customers.

Sigh.. Really no choice because there are also people(read: crews) buying like JPY4,000 or 5,000. Worse right? Where am i supposed to dig them from? My backside?

Best solution: Now that the JPY is so expensive, dont go laaaaaaa!! PLEASE GO TO AUSTRALIA!! Cheap Cheap!! And i have lots of small bills too!

Cozycot!

2008-11-09T11:21:00.002+08:00

Came across this forum in my email just now when i was clearing some stuff. Though i'm a member(i can't even remember when i joined!!), i haven't got the time to really explore it.

Went in and took a glimpse..

Hey!! There's so much to be read inside!! All about beauty, fashion and makeup! Better than the past few forums that i've joined. What's even better is that they also offer free samples and talks to Cotters!

Good for people like me, who loves to try out new products and keep changing brands. LOL!!

I've just requested for the Clarins 10 days trial and BioEssence White Tanaka trial pack!!

They also have a rewards programs for old Cotters to get new Cotters!

Wanna join?

Just click on the badge on my right sidebar!!

i spent the whole day..

2008-11-07T01:45:00.003+08:00

watching 舞林大道 !!

i've been stuck on the chair since 5pm til now. hahah.. Finished about 4 eps now, from the back 'cause i downloaded the latest one which is dated 2nd Nov. I forgot SG always lag in broadcasting shows from abroad.

My favourite group is Danceflow!! Their performance is always SOOOO full of power and they are very uniform!

But sadly, they withdrew on the 6th ep due to work and time issues. Luckily there's still 台湾龙卷风, 黑角 and Watever B to watch.

I particularly love this performance of theirs..

*************

Went Zouk last night with my colleagues. I'm lucky that i managed to find Zouk kakis in my team. Nowadays it's really difficult to find anyone who loves Mambo unless.. maybe when they have a certain age. LOL!!

No photos 'cause everyone left their cameras in their bags.

Ordered about $190 worth of drinks!! 2 graveyard, 2 long islang tea, 2 vodka redbull and 2 dunno what(he gave us the wrong order). We got it during 1-for-1 otherwise it would have been $380!!

Oh.. and 1-for-1 hour has been extended!! from 9pm to 12am now!

*************

Off to bed now. I just finished my 爱心菜头糕 specially bought by BF. Tomorrow it will definitely end up 'on' my tummy. FAT!! hee..

Night night!!

I'm back!!

2008-11-05T18:53:00.003+08:00

After trying out Wordpress for a few months, i've decided to switch back! Simply 'cause there's too many restrictions made that i can't even personalise it. The only thing good about it is that i'm able to lock up individual posts rather than the entire blog.

Sadly, that's the one and only good thing.

Likewise, there are tonnes that i could do with bloggers!!

I misssss

changing blog layouts and playing around with codes
embedding music clips on my blog
tags!!!

See.. now i can even put ads from Nuffnang to earn extra cash!!

Do help me to click on them ya?

bad day at work..

2008-11-04T10:02:00.000+08:00

i'm at work now..

The next door bitch kept snatching my customer.

And like it's not bad enough, this stupid customer had to come exert pressure on me just cause i didn't want to change his hkd bills into smaller denomination. somemore can say 'u all don't give special service to priority customer?

Priority my ass .

If so priority.. then why only buy 100 sgd to hkd?

Cheapskate!

Nah! Pig's trotter for all of youuuuuu!

2008-11-04T00:08:00.000+08:00

BOOHOO! I sprained my foot!! =(

but i felt loved!

'Cause BF fetched me from work, drove me to a Chinese physician, carried my bag, bought dinner while i waited in the car, held my hand tightly and support me all the way back homeeee!

.. like that i don't really mind spraining my foot more often.

CHOY!!!

i'm giving money away everyday!!

2008-10-31T17:45:00.001+08:00

yea.. i just had a shortage of $100 that day on my last afternoon shift.

And today, i overpaid another customer $9 of change! I was supposed to get an extra $19.05 from him, he gave me $20 and i gave him $9.95 of change.

-_-"

How stupid!

****

I'm loving this song now..

Really soothes my soul when i'm listening to it on my way home, staring at the clear blue sky..

Let's Wait Awhile Lyrics
Artist(Band):Janet Jackson

There's something I want to tell you

There's something I think that you should know

It's not that I shouldn't really love you

Let's take it slow

When we get to know each other

And we're both feeling much stronger

Then let's try to talk it over

Let's wait awhile longer

Let's wait awhile before it's too late

Let's wait awhile before we go too far

Remember that special night

When all of the stars were shining bright

We made our first endeavour
To stay together

We made our very first promise

To love, to share, and be real honest

But on that very first night

It wasn't quite right

Let's wait awhile before it's too late

Let's wait awhile, our love will be great

Let's wait awhile before we go too far

I didn't really know not to let all my feelings show

To save some for later so our love can be greater

You said you would always love me

Remember I said the same thing too

You don't have to be frightened with my love

Because I'll never give up on you

Let's wait awhile, awhile before it's too late

You know you can't rush love,love

(2x)
Let's just take our time

With love so good, we shouldn't rush it

We need to slow it down

Side note to self: Sometimes i feel like a total idiot holding on to something that doesn't even seems to be right in the first place.

movie time!

2008-10-30T23:05:00.000+08:00

I just came back from watching this show..

The advertisement look like some 'Rambo' show hor?

My sup has got 2 tickets to any movies which wasn't on 'No free list'. When we got to the cinema, we realised almost ALL the movies were on 'No free list'. -_-" I even naively thought we could watch 'The Coffin'.

Wishful hopes!

This show was the only one available and the date due is tomorrow and since we were already there, we might as well catch it.

Be it nice or not. Free one lei.. mai hiam!

We've already decided to just walk out of the cinema if it turns out to be shitty.

AND SURPRISE SURPRISE!! This show, which had only like 4 person watching it when we took the tickets, turned out to be GOOD! And yea, there were more people in the theatre when we went in. LOL!

It's an action comedy and i laughed like a mad cow at some really hilarious parts.

Go catch it if you're in for some laughter though the first few parts might be a little bit gross. And try to spot Tom Cruise ya?

**

Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. lead an ensemble cast in “Tropic Thunder,” an action comedy about a group of self-absorbed actors who set out to make the biggest war film ever. After ballooning costs (and the out of control egos of the pampered cast) threaten to shut down the movie, the frustrated director refuses to stop shooting, leading his cast deep into the jungles of Southeast Asia for “increased realism,” where they inadvertently encounter real bad guys.

my long awaited Taiwan trip post..

2008-10-30T01:45:00.003+08:00

Day 1

We arrived at the airport at 6.35 to check in our luggage as a group at Row 11. When i alighted from the cab, the feeling is like going back to work!! Morning shift somemore! Arghz..

After checking in, we did what all the departing people always do in front of our counter...

Take pictures with the grand looking DEPARTURE GATE!!!

this is taken by one of the staff who happened to pass by.

Very shaky hands!

with flash. think without flash really need a pair of steady hands to take clear pictures. i love this!!

dad and mum. Daddy stands like a statue. HAHA!!

Next, we had breakfast at Toastbox.

hahah.. i already jiak ga sian liao. But my family loves it!!

Peanut butter thick toast, kaya traditional, butter sugar traditional, half-boiled egg, teh and kopi!

Then, we went to the Butterfly Garden, which is near Gate B.

We were supposed to depart from Gate A. But i haven't been there before since its opening and my parents read about it in the news so we headed over.

Here's some of the butterflies..

The butterflies were mostly black in colour. I think the last one on the floor is dead. At least it died beautifully. Some were squashed on the floor. Yucks! And the ones that were flying were really scary!!! I've been to the butterfly garden in the zoo but that is nothing compared to this! There were at least 10 times more butterflies here as compared to the zoo.

And the scary thing is, they FLY TOWARDS YOU!

While taking all these pictures, i actually had to keep bending to avoid the butterflies from flying INTO me! If you were there, i think you can hear me scream. My sis gave up after a few mins. She went out to hide from them. Now that i think about them.. *shudders* I will never step inside again. My colleagues told me that the upper floor(there were 2 levels) was worse.

Ok.. after going to the toilet and waited for my dad to grab his cigarettes, we were ready to board the plane!

my first SQ flight!

I chose SQ 'cause

i wanted to experience the 'very good' service that everyone raved about
to be able to depart from T3 so that i can show my parents my working environment
i want to enjoy Krisworld, SQ's inflight entertainment
the difference i had to pay between SQ and CI was only about $80

so.. why not!!

my sis and mum

my dad sitting on the same row but different block of seats 'cause maximum only 3 can be together.

the 3 of us. my face look damn fat here. =(

fooling around with the hot towel given to us before the flight departs.

me and my sis

the menu booklet

our brunch menu.. we get to choose between chinese or western style.

i had the noodles..

while my sis had the omelette.

Both of us had tomato juice! yummy!

And now, my most favourite view..

how i wish i'm sitting on the wings right now..

and we reachedddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =))))

the tour agency told us that the temperature will be between 24 - 31 degree celcius. Why is it 34 when we reach?!?! The chinese wordings in the scrollbar said, '小心中署' be careful of getting heat stroke. For the entire tour, it was damn bloody hot. Even hotter than Singapore. Everyone was cursing and swearing.

We waited for a longggggggg time at the belt for our luggage. Very very slow. Luckily we were watching a beagle sniffing for drugs among the bags. Cute lo! Instead of using Doberman or those big sized police dog, they used a Beagle! And it totally looked like our dearest Niko. Made mum suddenly miss Niko so much!

Then, we proceeded outside to gather with the rest of the tour group. Before we went out, we had to walk pass this counter where they put a sensor to see our temperature from a screen. As i was running down with a flu, i was called to one side to have my temperature tested. Luckily it was nothing major. Just a slight rise in my body warmth. Can't imagine what if they really want to send me back 'cause i was unwell. Dots..

Up we go and into the coach where we will spend the rest of the 7 days traveling with it. We get to put our umbrella and water on board as these will be necessities for the entire trip.

Some pictures that i took while we were on our way to 淡水 Dan Shui..

Chinese signboards everywhere!! People who can't read Chinese at all can go home and sleep liao!

Even the wordings on the road were in Chinese! Notice the opposite directions of the car? Singapore go forward on the left but Taiwanese go forward on the right!

Their cabs. Comes in sedan, hatchback and more spacious ones.

Along the way, we saw lots and lots of stalls selling 槟榔. At first i was very interested and peered into every single one that we went past. 'Cause if you've watched Taiwanese drama or variety shows, you will know that these stalls are manned by very sexy ladies wearing bikinis or bra tops. This is one of their tactics to attract more people into buying and because most of the buyers were male, hence the 槟榔西施, a name for the sexy ladies.

But as i saw more and more stalls i got very sian. My sis already told me that when she was here earlier this year, she was the same like me. But soon she realised most the stalls were operated by old ladies/aunties!! True enough, the more stalls we saw, the more aunties i saw.

Until i gave them a new name. 槟榔啊妈！LOL!

reaching 淡水!!

this sign looks funny. The man looks more like a farmer than a worker with his triangle hat.

First stop! Fisherman's Wharf 渔人码头！

Dad and Mum with the Lovers' Bridge 情人桥 behind them.

us!

Me at the bridge!

Look at the number of people holding umbrella behind me. The sun was shining with all its might!

We went over to the other side for our very first cup of Red Pearl Milk Tea in Taiwan! Shiok especially on such a hot day!!

This is their public toilet.

Here's a closeup..

look at their sign for each toilet for the different sexes.

'Lady' for the ladies and 'Gentle' for the men? I thought ladies can be gentle too? LOLLLL!!!!

So we proceeded to go to the Lady but we stopped and started laughing at this handcapped!

not handicapped. We are not so evil. But HANDCAPPED! ROFL!

Finally, we went in to do our business. When i open the cubicle's door, i got a shock!

the toilet bowl shifted!

hahah.. no la.. it's just a different position from our usual ones in Singapore. And surprisingly, despite being a public toilet, it is very very very super duper uber clean!

a random food stall. i think i was damn hungry when i took this. The menu has so many varieties!

Later on, we went to 淡水老街 Dan Shui Old Street to grab some small bites. There were lots of food stalls on both side of the street. Like our SG pasar malam.

But of course, their food tastes 100 times better than ours.

Since it's a weekend, there were lots of people!!

It was a complete contrast when later on in the week, we came back to the same place on a typhoon day. All the shops were closed, like a ghost town.

Barbecued squid!! You can choose between spicy or non-spicy.

hee.. There's a reason for taking this photo. Notice the 小帅哥 behind? He's grilling the squid for us. Bery muscular too! HAHAHAH!!

One of the stalls in the middle(yes!! despite being so narrow, there were actually 3 rows of stalls) was selling quail's egg. It's cooked the same way as how you cook tako pachi.

yummy quail's egg! looked like fishballs on a stick. hahah..

We had these in a shop. From top left is the must-try 啊给. It's like a chunk of meat with some veg wrapped with a piece of tofu skin. Very tasty. Followed by fishball soup and glutinuous rice.

one of the stalls selling drinks

Sweet potato balls

Don't be deceived by the plain look of it. THIS IS HEAVENNNNNNNNNNN!! Really addictive. i kept popping it into my mouth non-stop. Q like dunno what! A must-try!!

the ice-cream that everyone sure eat when they come to Taiwan. Now when i upload this picture, i realised there's also matcha and honeydew flavour! I ordered the mix(chocolate and vanilla) one. =(

on our way to 士林夜市 Shih Lin Night Market, we saw Carrefour. So it's called 家乐福 in Chinese. It's fun to see all the Chinese translation of all the shops here. Later on i saw some funny ones. Will post them later.

士林夜市 Shih Lin Night Market.

One of the biggest Night Market in Taiwan. Sorry for including the aunties's glare in this picture. Thick-skinned.. thought i shooting her? hahhaah!!

Look at the amount of people here!!

And we can't move 'cause we wanna buy the famous XXL chicken!!

Ta-dah!!

Long queue loooooooooo!!

In fact, there's a queue for almost all the stalls there.

SO many peopleeeee!!

Even though the night market here is like permanent and there are so many others in Taiwan, on weekends there's still so many people. Taiwanese really love night markets!!

Since there were not much time left to buy and eat, we da-baoed everything that we can see so that we have enough time to shop around too. That's the disadvantage of being in a tour group. =( But we really got our adrenalin hyped up when we rushed for time. It's like taking part in the contest, 'Shop 'til you drop'. LOL!!

After we've got everyone back at the meeting point, it's time to head to our first hotel of the tour!

GLORIA PRINCE HOTEL

According to the tour guide, this hotel used to take in no other nationalities' tourist except the Japanese. Not sure what's the reason for it and why they are opening up to everyone now. But since it was 'made' for the Japanese, everything was so JAPANESE! The room is small and cosy. The toilet bowl is the japanese kind with lots of button at the side. And when we headed down for breakfast the next morning, almost half the people were Japanese tourists staying here.

triple beds!!

Later we found out actually this was specially arranged by our tour leader. 'Cause we had wanted our rooms to be next to each other and it's difficult to get a twin room and a king size together so they gave my parents a king size and us, a triple!

small but cosy..

the toilet.

i love that small mirror that's on the bigger piece of mirror. It actually magnified every single pore that i have on my nose. And i used that to squeeze my clogged pores!! Can see everything so clearly!

robes with a 'japanese feel' were provided.

After all the photo-taking, it's time to dig in! Called our parents over before we start the 'takeaway' feast.

yummy!

let me introduce the food one by one..

the famous 啊宗面线

There's one more stall at Ximending. I eat this almost every night when i'm staying there. It is not like the oyster mee-sua that we have in SG. This one has got pig's organs in it and it is fantastic!

Taiwan sausage in 辣椒 chilli flavour

I love how i can eat sausages in different flavours in Taiwan. Besides chilli, there's also 麻辣，蜜汁，炭烧，沙茶，酸菜 and so on.. Everyday can choose one flavour to eat!!

Spicy Korean Rice Cake

This is something that i've always wanted to try after seeing it in korean dramas. Luckily i spotted it at Shih Lin. Somemore told the auntie i got no money to go Korea that's why gotta buy this from you. LOL!!

麻辣鸭血 Spicy Duck's blood!!

Since ~~Stinkapore~~ Singapore banned pig's blood, I've been craving for it like hell! When i saw Jacky Wu ordered this when he was hosting the famous variety show 十字路口, i knew i had to try this if i have the chance to go to Taiwan 'cause it's almost the same as pig's blood and it's spicy(another of my favourite!!) So when i'm in Taiwan, i buy and eat like nobody's business!! My wish is finally granted!!

the XXL chicken.

Not cut up like the ones selling in SG 士林小吃 but it's in one big piece to retain the juice. *slurp*

glutinous rice bought by my father. Nice!!

This resembles indian prata but it's wrapped with meat, like a kebab. Not too bad but a little bit too much onions. I bit into a raw one. bleahhh!!

Since the night is still young and we left on our own now, we went downstairs to explore a little. Apparently the shops doesn't seem to want to close yet, so we just took our time.

We went to Watsons first. I went crazy. Bought lots of mask, makeup from Lavshuca and Kate and some toiletries.

Then, we went into 7-11, followed by Hi-life and Family Mart to check out what's selling in their CONVENIENCE STORE!

I love their varieties of drinks..

ta dah!!

One whole rack of milk products

I'm so happy! i bought a different kind of milk tea everyday!! Back in SG, finding a bottle of milk tea can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

This was of course before the 'Poison milkpowder' report came on. =)

The top row consists of different flavours of milktea. And so big only for SGD$1!!

S.H.E

And their advertising is goodddddddddddd!! They put my favourite celebrity on my favourite tea!

There's more!!

Rainie Yeung!!

汪東城 and 吳尊

Ended up i bought 蔡旻佑 back. haha..

Even their varieties of mineral water made me hard to decide.

i tried 鲜切水. The bottle in pink and green colours. It tasted like water but with a tinge of apple taste in it. Very refreshing!! Ambassador is 小 S. Her commercial made me laugh like mad in the hotel room.

As we continued walking, we saw Angela Zhangggggggggg

的poster.

Posing for 1 day acuvue. That's 蔡旻佑 in my hand!

Another one on the other side of the wall.

Feeling a little hungry(hahaha!! that explains the weight gained..), we tried this! As soon as i took this picture, i was shoo-ed away by this uncle working there. Stupid me forgot to off the flashlight and it alerted him.

Nevertheless, the food was good! So it was worth the 'shoo'!

Presenting..

米苔目!!

This is something i will never have a chance to eat in SG. NEVER!! It looked like udon but it taste nothing like that or even like mee tai mak. It is very Q and the soup is fantabulous!!! The intestine and tofu is also good!

That's the reason why i had to die die also take a picture of his signboard in case the next time i'm back, i can go eat again!!

Opposite the shop is another shop selling bubble tea. My sis went to get one.

hey look!! Mini pearls! And their serving is so generous!

We wanted to go for KTV intially but it was too expensive to sing on a weekend. so we went back.

Back in the hotel..

my loot!

After bathing, we put on our robe and watched tv. But we were too bored so we started jumping.

Please ignore our messy hair and sans make up face.

we were making so much noise i bet the people downstairs wanna kill us. But it was fun!! Jumped til we were so tired then we continued watching the 100 channels of Taiwan programmes before both of us fell asleep.

Stay tuned for DAY 2 of my Taiwan trip!!

Amore fitness classes

2008-10-26T04:26:00.000+08:00

I've been with Amore and i missed the classes.

All the kickboxing, HI/LO aerobics, hip hop, jazz, cadiolatino, new body and the super difficult step workout really did its job into making me gain back my toner body.

But during the 2 yrs that i stopped.

I gained back twice as much. =(

Good news is, I'm back with them again! 2 times a week for 3 months.

All the fatty bulges on my tummy!!!

Be afraid.. be verrrrry afraidddddd!

New MSN Beta 9.0!

2008-10-25T04:02:00.000+08:00

I love its brand new look!

The main page is constantly showing updates of your contacts whenever they did something to their profile.

Be it changing of their nicks or listening to songs or even changing of their userpic!

Alert sound can be changed too!

I changed my alert sound when i login to 'Piano'. Now whenever i login, my contacts can hear piano tunes to alert them of my existence!

Haha..

And when each time my BF msgs me, it feels like he's kissing me 'cause i changed the usual irritating alert sound to 'Kiss'!

Cute!!

Don't ask me why. I just love this pic.

Conversation wise is improved! It solved the problem of having too many nicks occupying the entire screen rather than messages. Right now, when the same person types repeatedly and the other party is not replying, it will just appear as one chunk under ONE nick. Just like mobile msn. Easier on the eye, i feel.

Another thing is, userpic can now be animated!! But only when 2 parties are using the same version.

But since it's beta, things are still not perfect.

It's a little laggy. Due to the update thingy i guess. And my emoticons are not appearing. It's as if they've got moodswing. Sometimes they come out. Rest of the time they go MIA.

Overall, i still love it. Heck with emoticons! I've already gotten used to the fact that my lappy doesn't have any.

Thanks BF for the recommendation!

Hope to hear more *muack* from you. hee!!

new software

2008-10-17T22:13:00.000+08:00

something that i did with Photoscape..

HAHA!! i laughed like mad when i saw the final result!

explanation for the gifts..

2008-10-07T12:11:00.000+08:00

the doggie hp accessory --> i know you like dogs and i came across this when i was in Dan Shui on a typhoon day. Bought it for you 'cause it was really cute and i know you will like it.

the mask --> that was your bday gift! just wanted to let you try out this mask which i feel works wonders!

*******

the 3 mahjong tiles --> it's soap so don't try to play mj wif it! Mahjong is like one of your favourite past time and when i saw it, i knew i just had to get for you. Too bad, they dun have other tiles like 'bai ban', 'hong zhong' and 'fa cai'.

the rabbit hp accessory --> it looked cute and since buying only the mj tiles seems abit pathetic so i added this in as well. And rabbit stands for a special meaning which is written behind the box.

*******

the hello kitty organiser --> i remembered last yr when i came back from HK, i bought an organiser. You grumbled to me about why didnt i buy another for you. This time round, besides buying a new one for me, i got you one too!

*******

i had no time to explain all these to you all that day 'cause i had wanted to pass to all of you properly before we went in. But tension rises and i ended up having to literally 'throw' the pressies to all of you 'cause i was seated in front, 2 wif black faces and 1 was vomiting.

Anyway, hope everyone like the pressies that i chose!

it's finally OCT!

2008-10-04T13:36:00.001+08:00

i hate Aug and Sep.

In Aug, i sprained my back after a MEGA sneeze and couldn't get up. I was stuck in the toilet and panicked 'cause i had to do flights later on. Kept rubbing my back and finally pushed myself up wif both hands. It was terrible.

I thought this was it.. that I'm gonna be paralysed in the LOO!

Luckily after consulting 2 angmoh doctors and 1 'fucker' sinseh, taking a holiday for a week and the care and concern of my family(bringing me to the docs) and bf(helping me to carry my bags and any heavy stuff), my back is as good as new.

Bad experience. Next time i shall sneeze as loud as possible so that the impact will not be transferred to other parts of my body.

So if u hear my sneeze, please forgive me.

*****

In Sep, i went Taiwan for a 7 days tour + 2 days extension. The tour cost 1300++ and the extension was on our own expenses.

And then, so heng, we kanna the damn typhoon on our extension days.

Shops closed early.. Those roadside stalls not open.. even Taipei 101 was closed!

It was a waste of our money. I didnt get to eat my favourite bbq squid for the 2nd time!! So angry that we planned to go back in Mar 2009.

But it was something that we could never experience in hotty SG. The news channels(taiwan media had over 10 channels of news!!) reported on the typhoon everyday and they were so hyped about it, they even send their reporters up to Yang Ming Shan to report the weather condition! You can see the poor reporter trying to hold on to her umbrella which is on the verge of flying off and trying to talk on her mic at the same time. LOL!

Even my umbrella broke into PIECES when i was on the way back from Dan Shui old street to the station! The metal sticks just broke when a sudden gush of wind blew in an opposite direction. Amazing!

Pictures soon.. once i cracked my photoshop. Expired liao cannot use. Damn!

Go eat lunch liao! Ciao!

my wish right now..

2008-08-08T03:08:00.000+08:00

is to let the guy who scolded me a 'motherfucker' when i was just merely trying to sell him a PIN number phonecard, get his butt stuck in the toilet bowl high up in the plane when he's trying to flush it.

Sentosa Luge

2008-08-04T19:01:00.001+08:00

I WANNA GO THERE!!

can someone bring me there? *hint* *hint*

random

2008-07-28T22:59:00.000+08:00

i just went to view Kimmy's and Karin's blog.

hahaha.. why u all quote me!! so embarassing la.. *run away*

eh.. leave comments when freeeeeeeee!

recent happenings..

2008-07-28T21:36:00.002+08:00

25 Jul

Met up with my bestie from my secondary school, Winnie!

She came and picked me up and we headed to Brewerkz @ Kallang. My first time.. so abit suaku. Was surprised that they have so many kinds of light beer to choose from. i love light beer!

And they taste even better than hoegaarden! so light.. so smooth..

us! she looks like a teacher right? yea.. we met after her last tuition of the day. She's a teacher who earns loads!

our beer.. Golden Ale and FruitBrewz. Golden Ale is the very light beer that i'm talking about. Fruitbrewz, the one in the goblet, is a darker beer with a fruity taste. Sweet!

we ordered wings and sausages. The sausages were good, with pickled veg at the bottom. The wingss.. arghh.. disappointment. Super salty! Like the chef accidentally emptied the entire salt bowl into the sauce. Next time we should try the grilled ones instead. This one was the one with the NY sauce.

guess what this is? Brownie! In baby size! Just right for a scoop of vanilla ice-cream to sit on top.

while on the way back, she suddenly say,

"eh!! i let you listen to something!! classic one!!

Then, she press press press, the music starts, followed by,

"Haaa Teee Shiiii Naiii.. Ano kumo no kanata e.."

I was shocked!

ok.. anyone remembers the girl band Speed?

It was our favourite girl band at that time!! We knew all their songs and wrote the lyrics in our hymnbook. I love Takako Uehara(top left) and Winnie's favourite is Eriko Imai(bottom right). But now they no longer sing together as they had disbanded in 2000 to continue their solo career. It was a pity as they were very successful.

Anyway that song was White Love by them. Can watch their video here

Throughout the journey home, we talked about our school days. So many memories.. both of us missed it. Carefree and no problems..

ermm.. or maybe DOG problem.

HAHAHAH private joke between us. Sorry Jocelyn!

27 Jul

BF brought me to Kallang Leisure Park!

Ever since it revamped, i haven been there yet.

But after going around, actually there's really nothing in there. BF even say 'Leisure Park why not leisure one?' hahah..

There's a new cinema though, Filmgarde. Caught a movie there but since they are so new, there's no CC promotions yet. So a little heartpain to pay $9.50 for a ticket when i can watch it for just 8 bucks at Cathay.

caught X-files! Quite gross 'cause of the body parts.

while waiting with the number, wearing the shirt that i bought for him last yr.

me in my uniform 'cause i went after work.

my all-time favourite.. Spicy chicken linguine. I duno how many times have i posted this pasta in my blog n previous blogs. haha..

his Cabonara which cost almost twice as much as mine. I wonder why creamy pasta always more expensive than tomato based ones. Somemore bacon so small, my chicken bigger piece lo.

After the movies, we went over to Serangoon Gardens to meet up with Jeremy and Aiksan. And stupid me went to queue up for a Char Kway Tiao for almost 20 mins. Freaky long, not very nice and made everyone else wait for me.

Why they took so long is because they fry the noodles 1 plate by 1 plate.

Went to chill awhile at Coffeebean and went home.

24 Jul @ Balaclava

2008-07-25T21:37:00.001+08:00

Lis' birthday is coming!!

But 'cause she will not be in SG for her actual birthday, we gave her an early celebration!

Planned to dine here..

but that girl can't make it la!

So the two of us (Kimmy and me) went ahead.

It was my second time, Kimmy's first and she love it! Esp when there's a menu of half-sized curry for small-eaters like her!!

my miso soup.. can choose between this or green salad

our side dish.. Mushroom Fry

Kimmy's half-sized Katsu Curry

My full-sized Katsu and Ebi Curry!

Since no one reached yet, we went over to secure a table and also made some arrangements with the staff for lis' surprise.

KIMMY!!

meeeeeeeeeee!

Karin! Last one to arrive and looking totally shagged from work. But still gorgeous la!

The cake.. which made us walked round and round the fountain terrace. The plan didnt go very smoothly but still we did our best! hahah..

What happened was we left it with the staff to keep it for us first. Then, we waited til everyone arrived and we (Kimmy and I again..) announced that we need to go collect the remaining drinks and to go loo. We quickly went over to the counter to request for our drinks and cake and went back to the seats and pretended nothing happened.

THEN i saw the staff coming over with A BEER in 1 hand and THE CAKE in the other. FAINT! The plan was to wait til the other 2 girls go off to the toilet before bringing it over and placed it on the table with candles lit and give her a surprise. And when he's on his way, they havent left!! Luckily, i 'CHIONG' over and stop him in time. The scenario was damn funny!

The birthday girl was touched!!

our pretty pretty Lis!

each of us with the birthday girl..

as a group.. I hope we'll do this for the rest of our life.

be it one quarter or half a century old!

and finally.. my top shell. I finished the entire plate all by myself 'cause i was damn hungry by then. hee..

***********************************************************************

ok.. time to get prepared. meeting my best SS pal, Winnie for late dinner and drinks.

bye!

let's FLYYYY with our dearest Lis!

2008-07-22T04:32:00.002+08:00

Just came back from supper with colleagues at Bedok 511. It's been a long time since i last went there.

haha.. so full now.

i better update on what we did on the 9th of July before the pictures start to rot like the others.

*************************************

Lis was back on 9th of July from her 1 months's training in HK. We missed her!!

Now that she's back, the first thing we did was go clubbing!! Been quite some time since the 4 of us clubbed together. The last time was BEFORE she went off.

Supposed to meet at 11.30 but i was late.. ermm as usual..

Met them up in the toilet after they accompanied Karin to eat at Ah Wok.

And we went crazy in the loo!!!!

our dearest lis and kimmy!

'shi er' lian pai!!

another 5 shots with flash!

We spent almost 15 mins inside! And that's not including the time when i haven't arrived. They had been inside for god knows how long already!

The funny part is i told the waiter at the door that i'm looking for my friends when i reach Ah wok. Then i walked straight to the toilet, spent 15 mins inside and emerged with all my friends!! hahahahaha..

While waiting for Winnie outside DF,

my turn to take with Lis~

and finally everyone's here! let's get this party started!!

shoes of the day!

it's us again!! Jessie wasnt in here 'cause she left shortly after Winnie arrived. She has work and school the next day. Poor thing!~

We went to the toilet in DF and this time round i camwhored with Karin!

an extra popped out!

much better!

seriously.. i dunno why i took so many pics. Think when i'm high, i just took out my camera and snap snap snap!

and i accidentally showed too much of the 'drain'. i love my girls!!

while taking this picture, a fight broke out! That explains the weird reaction on Winnie's face. i look totally oblivious 'cause i didnt realise til Karin pulled us away. LOL!

we're back again!

where's Kimmy?!?!

Lis and Zhiwei's gf

Me with Charlie, DF's singer and also Lis' cousin. He's the hot favourite of the night. We took damn many pictures with him. Here goes.. (ps: the head belongs to Derrick)

last few pictures with the girls before we left the place..

finally... my birthday post!

2008-07-20T03:48:00.003+08:00

this is irrelevant..

my lunch at work that day..

tomyum soup noodles

ok back to topic..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

actually i wanted to book a room to hold a small celebration with my close friends. but after much consideration with regards to space and budget, we decided to get a chalet!

more freedom and lots of space! especially when it's at Aloha Loyang!

the living room

with 2 rooms on each floor and a porch in the middle

and the pool. that's the boy jumping into pool in his boxers! keke.. he couldn't resist it anymore. made me so jealous 'cause i didnt bring my swimwear.

nevermind.. let him enjoy first..

'cause after that he gotta do lots of work!

meanwhile in the kitchen,

my mum's at work..

cooking yummilicious curry!!

my 3rd aunt and mum. look alike

bf's busy washing his car

so i camwhore!

time to start the BBQ!

so does the photo-taking!

last but not least..

then.. we decided to think of other poses..

we tried..

and tested..

and decided to..

JUMP!!!!!

like maddddddddddddddddd!

opps.. til someone 'run light'! hee.. i covered it up!

time for cake cutting!

the cake..

ta-dah! a cake of my favourite character!

jessie and her bf

dragonfly regulars *oops* lalala..

After playing 1 round of the game, we continued talking til about 5am where in between i dozed off 4657575 times and vomited once. So everyone left except us and 2 other couples and we stayed over til next morning. Checked out and drove to E!hub for breakfast at Xing Wang Hk cafe.

overall it was a success for my last birthday celebration at a chalet. At least it will stay as one of the good memories that i had when i'm young. Never will i be able to do this again.. when i'm like already 1/4 of a century. hahahahaha!

ok time to sleep now.

goodnight world! =)

pay's out!

2008-07-16T17:03:00.000+08:00

and i went shopping at the transit area!

ended up with this..

Seikisho Mask White

A peel-off, airtight black mask that effectively removes dirt and impurities to dramatically increase skin’s clarity and radiance. It also suppresses melanin production and prevents the formation of aging spots and freckles.

Suppresses melanin production to prevent sun spots.

Take about 1 inch from the tube at a time and spread over skin. Repeat until entire face is covered with a thick layer, avoiding the eyes, eyebrows, hairline and lips. After 20 minutes or when completely dry, peel off from the outside.

Herbal Extracts: Coix Seed Extract, Angelica Extract, Moutan Bark Extract, Japanese Coptis Extract, Artemisia Capillaris Extract

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

heard lots of raves about this product and also how painful it is to peel it off! haha..

since it's quite cheap ($25.60 after discount), i decided to give it a try.. and so do 3 other of my colleagues. The SA must be damned happy to serve us.

i have it on my face now.. and it's been 20 mins already. time to peel it off!

bored at work @ T3 arrival

2008-07-14T19:16:00.000+08:00

can't sleep due to the knocking and drilling here. was supposed to edit my birthday photos and post it up but i'm still halfway done. hahah.. i'm slow i know.

i love my presents!!

thanks to all who came!

ps: yea! baby's coming off days on the same 2 days as me! looking forward to our trip to SENTOSA!!

Batam Trip - Day 2

Due to some unpleasant planning by the resort, we had to wake up at 8am just to get everything sorted out again.

Decided not to sleep anymore and head down for breakfast, followed by a swim in the pool. Refreshing!

Then we had lunch at the restaurant. Alfresco style!

It was so lovely we couldn't resist!

the place where our pizza was made

the yummilicious pizza!

better than the free lunch set that they gave us.

my black pepper beef can chew for the entire day!

After eating, it's time for the 3 hrs pampering spa!!

This is the part that i'm most looking forward to 'cause i simply can't resist massages!

The hut that was allocated to us. Each couple share one. It's really intimate so if you're not ready for it, better request for separate rooms.

The interior..

The massage beds!

After taking this pic, a really huge hornet attacked me! I already saw it hovering in the air when we came in but i didnt expect it to fly really low and so close to me!

I screamed like mad!!!

The masseur had to chase it away for me.

where it died later in a basin of soap water. LOL!

last of all, the jacuzzi.

I enjoyed the whole process and really felt rejuvenated!

3 hrs of spa + 1 night stay + breakfast + set lunch/pizza + 1 trip to Nagoya town = all for just S$270

worth it!!
