Happy 6th monthsary baby ! ♥

Thank you so much for the iPhone 4s baby !

2012-02-01T23:57:00.037+08:00

I'm so chuffed, I have passed stage one of my driving, and I managed to clear part 1 of stage 2 as well today. I actually just noticed that I'm clearing 2 parts of the stages each lesson I attend. Hopefully I can keep this up.

I was supposed to meet Ben at 3pm today, or rather, he was supposed to pick me up from 'Clementi mrt' today, but something cropped up at work and he couldn't make it till later in the evening, so I just headed home first. I managed to watch about 3 episodes till Ben came to pick me up. He was actually really nice to take me to 'Suntec city' to have my boots exchanged. Thank you so much Ben ! Today was a different staff. I explained to him my situation and he remeasured my foot, but still insisted that I stick to my own size actually. But I was pretty certain that the size down was the correct size, so I stuck with that. Luckily, no one had bought the size 5. Phew !

It was about 830pm when we had our dinner. Can you guess where we went for dinner ? Hahahaha, we went to 'Marurama'. I don't know why, but it's one of my favorite restaurant ! And seeing as Ben has never tried it, why not ey ? You know, the most embarrassing thing happened whilst we were paying. I had wanted to pay for dinner and Ben declined. Then when he was whipping out his notes, he finally said, can I pay by card instead and took out an 'American express' card. Then they said that they didn't except Amex, so I said, "IT'S OK, I GOT UOB, I PAY DON'T TAKE HIS MONEY!". So I reached out for my wallet and when I opened it, I realised that all my cards were missing. They were actually in this separate pouch that I hang on my jeans when I went for driving. So he ended up paying in a whole load of $2 notes and a few $5 notes ( ang bao money ). What a joke !

After dinner, we walked over to the cinema to check out the available movies and timeslots. Seriously, that's like the most dire cinema I've ever been too. They only had 5 movies showing and the timeslots were bad too. So I whipped out my iPhone and checked, and after stating all the available timeslots and places, he suggested that we go over to 'Kallang leisure centre' to watch 'Contraband'. As much as I hate the stinking seats there, it's probably one of the best places to watch a movie as it's really desserted there. Our movie started at around 10pm. The trailer of 'Contraband' was totally awesome and it caught my attention. The movie was just amazing. I never really liked Mark Wahlberg though. He's a pretty decent actor, I just never really fancied him. But saying that, I've watch almost every movie of his. On the other hand, Kate Beckinsale is totally gorgeous. The movie was constantly thrilling and exiting. Honestly, it made me feel a whole lot of emotion at one time ! This is definitely worth the watch !

Thank you Ben for the lovely day ! I had an awesome time ! I'm actually in his car on the way home now. I better stop before I get car-sick.

2012-01-31T21:45:00.035+08:00

This is the first time in a long time that I actually went out early, not for a competition, not for work but going out to eat breakfast. Ben picked me up at about 10am and we headed toward the back road of 'Botanical gardens'. There was this breakfast place nearby called 'Hatched' where he had wanted to try. They apparently specialise in eggs. All the different way of cooking eggs, you name it, they have it. After staring at the menu repeatedly, I actually still had no idea what I was going to have. So in the end, Ben suggested that we share this platter thingy which included an omelette, scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausages, ham, baked beans, toast and waffles. It states in the menu 'for 2 pax' but seriously, it was way too much for the both of us. But nonetheless, it was delicious. Had a latte to go with my breakfast as well. Thank you Ben for the scrumptious breakfast !

Got dropped off back home as he had to head back to work. I chilled for about 30 minutes before heading out to my driving lesson. My lesson finish at 3pm so I went back home first as Darren had gone to Darien's school to study together with them.

Then they called me to tell me I could head out at 630pm. So I walked down to the bus stop. The bus arrived in about 10 minutes and it wasn't looking good. It was like a canned sardine. But I was determined to get on the bus anyway. I managed to squeeze myself a spot on the bus and off we went. One stop later, this girl decides to start grinding me from behind all the way till we got to 'Orchard road'. I was well disgusted. A normal 10 minute journey felt like an hour long journey. Let's hope I'll never have to go through that ordeal ever again !

I walked over to 'Heeren' where they were. We took a lift up to the fifth floor in hopes of dining at 'Waraku' which we often visited, but to our horror, it wasn't there anymore. I did read in the papers about tenants moving out from 'Heeren' as the management wanted to renovate the whole mall for about 18 months, but I didn't think it'd be this soon. So plan b, we went to the ramen place at '111 Somerset'. Instead of ordering my normal miso ramen that I always have, I decided to go for shoyu ramen today as I have been eating way too much of miso ramen for the past month. It was absolutely delicious.

Oh yeah, I was whining the whole time about my boots. Remember the pair of 'Redwing' I bought yesterday ? They're way too big. The lady who sold me the pair of boots said that it's normal so on and so forth, but how is it normal for boots to fly off your legs when you do the kicking action ? Sigh, fingers crossed that no one has bought the pair of US size 5's, otherwise I'm fucked as they clearly stated 'no refunds'.

2012-01-30T17:31:00.013+08:00

Whoooooooooooooooooop, had a driving lesson today. I can't wait till I get this over and done with.

So anyways, I finished my lesson at 3pm and headed over to 'Commonwealth' where Darren was. He was actually at the polyclinic. After I arrived, we still had to wait for another 30 minutes before he was done. But it's actually dirt cheap compared to the clinic that I normally visit. But nah, I'm going to stick to my clinic downstairs.

We bus-ed it to 'Anchorpoint' after as I was craving for some fried chicken. Today was the first and my last time visiting the 'Kentucky fried chicken' there. It's one of the smallest and lousiest outlet I have ever been too. They didn't have a self service stand where you get your sauces from and they didn't even have a wash basin either ! The chicken and burger weren't great either. Bleah.

Alright, it's Korean drama time.

2012-01-29T20:10:00.027+08:00

Uh oh, the damage has been done. I just spent $400 on a pair of 'Redwing' boots. Well done Liana, what an awesome way to throw away $400.

So anyways, here's how my day went. Set my alarm for 1230pm as we were expecting Terence to come over to try on Darren's pair of 'Redwing' as he had bought the wrong size. So at 2pm he arrived. We both had our fingers crossed and prayed so hard that the shoes would fit him, and it did ! He then agreed to buy that pair off Darren which means that Darren could now go on to buy another pair that would fit him.

About 30 minutes later, we set off and headed to 'Suntec city'. We spent almost an hour in there as all 3 of us were 'Redwing' noobies. The lady helped us measure our feet sizes and then helped us choose a pair that would fit us perfectly. So eventually I bought a pair of US size 6. -$400, ouch.

After we were done, we walked up to 'Marutama'. I actually didn't realised they're expending this fast. But nonetheless, it still tastes pretty awesome. It's not the usual ramen, it's kind of like 'wonton mee' but it's still pretty good !

We then went over to 'Cathay' after our lunch to go to 'Leftfoot' to take a look at more 'Redwing'. Darren finally decided that he'd purchase a pair of 'Redwing 875' instead of his original purchase of '1907'. But at least he's happy now.

2012-01-28T23:45:00.047+08:00

Oh what a day ! We played mahjong all the way till 8am, which meant that we only got 4 hours worth of sleep before team 1 had their training. Dragged myself out of bed and into the shower. Quickly got ready so that we would not be late. But guess what ? Things do not always go as planned and I think we were about 30 minutes late. Today was the first time that I went to the 'Colosseum' on the 3rd floor. It felt really awkward standing in there. I don't really know how to explain what I felt, it just didn't feel like home anymore I guess.

So they started their training at 230pm. I had wanted to play 'AVA' but it wasn't installed on the pcs yet, and Ah Tan was nice enough to help me install it. So whilst waiting, I played my facebook games. Then one by one, all the familiar faces started walking in. Desmond, Zacc, Nana, Fufu, Lynette, Xiong Fu, Dion & Yan zhan. It was nice to see them all again. Then randomly, Nana and I started talking about gmarket. And it's all your fault Nana, you should of declined when I asked you to give me a lesson on how to use gmarket. Now I'm hooked onto it. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~ As you can guess, I spent the entire time there surfing gmarket.

Finally at 8pm, they ended. Benny had gone to meet Fifi and Darien had gone to meet his friends. It was just Darren, David, Terence & me left. So we decided that we'd go try out 'Ramen champion' on the 4th floor as I have always wanted to try it. The concept there is similar to 'Marche' except that all they sell there is ramen. I tried the miso ramen from 'Gantetsu - がんてつ'. It was absolutely delicious. I can't really remember whose ramen Darren & David ordered from, but their's was pretty much on par with mine. Terence on the other hand ( I forgot as well ), I didn't really fancy. He had spicy miso ramen, but to me, the soup base was to thin. So that one I didn't really rate.

Anyways, after dinner, we walked to 'Suntec city'. We were there to check out the 'Redwing' boots. I tried on the high cut ladies boots which proved to look a little bit awkward as I was wearing my brown pants that I bought from 'Uniqlo'. But saying that, I was actually keen on buying it and I made up my mind that I would go back tomorrow to buy them.

Headed toward the cinema to check out the movie timings and there wasn't anything there that we wanted to watch so we whipped out our phones and bought tickets for 'Journey 2' at 'Cineleisure and Darien said he wanted to join us as well ! Whilst we were walking away from the cinema, we came across the arcade. It felt a little weird stepping inside as I haven't been in one since I was 14. It kinda brought back some memories. We ended up spending about an hour in there. Hahahahaha, so much for going there for a short while ey ?

We are now on the way to 'Cineleisure' to meet Darien to watch 'Journey 2'.

2012-01-27T20:35:00.035+08:00

Oh yeah baby yeah ! I passed my awfully dreaded final theory test today ! 8 hours later and it still hasn't sunk it that I've passed. I know it's not a big deal or anything, it's just that I've been dreading it but now I've finally have got it over and done with.

That aside, Ben came to pick me up from 'Bukit batok driving centre' today and brought me out to lunch. He asked me what I would like to eat and I told him I didn't have a clue, so we ended up driving to 'Upper thompson' where there was this shop that specialized in chicken rice. But not just any chicken, 'kampong' chicken. I couldn't tell the difference, but apparently it's meant to be more tender and the meat should taste nicer because they were once free chickens. Even though I think he ordered way to much ( half a chicken & a portion of veggie ), we managed to finish everything. Quite amazing really ! After lunch, and might I stress that I was as full as a stuffed turkey could be, he walked next door into 'Dino's' and bought a cheesetart saying that I should try it. I had like a bite, but it didn't really appeal to me. :X

So anyways, after lunch, we both decided that we'd go watch a movie. Used my phone and checked the movie titles and the time slots available and we ended up going to 'Kallang leisure park' to catch the 420pm movie. As we had about an hour or so to burn, we just ended up walking round the mall as I have never been there. I even got to try the yoghurt soft cream from 'Yoguru' today as well. I must say that I still prefer 'Swirl art' though. They have way more flavors and toppings to choose from ! I managed to buy some toiletries I've been wanting to buy from 'Watsons' as well.

Finally, it was time for our movie. We watched 'Jack and jill'. I totally loved it. We were laughing through most of the movie. I must say that 95% of movies starring Adam Sandler are actually good. I shan't tell you what it's about though, you can go watch it for yourselves. It's worth the movie ticket !

After the movie ended, we walked to the car. Quickly, we drove off without realizing that he had received a present from the parking attendant. It turns out that Mr Ben had forgotten to put a parking coupon and now has to pay a $30 penalty. We actually only noticed the ticket half way through when he turned on his window wipers. Oh wells. When I got home, it was about the time that Darren got home as well, so we went to 'Dawson mall' for a quick dinner. There, we met my grand-mother and joined her for dinner. I had water-cress with pork rib soup which I totally shouldn't have ordered because I barely drank a few mouths and I was done with it. Oops.

Quickly headed back home after dinner as we were expecting Benny and Fifi over for a game of mahjong. Well, off to set up now before they're here.

Thank you Ben for coming all the way down to BBDC to pick me up, despite living in the completely different end of Singapore, for the lovely lunch and the wonderful movie, even though my seat blatently stank of perspiration. Hahahaha ! Oh yes, and before I forget, thank you for tarou-chan's hoodie ! He's looking fabulous in it !

2012-01-25T20:11:00.000+08:00

You would not believe me when I say that we've just finished playing 21 hours of mahjong. This would mean that I've been up for the past 31 hours. Frankly speaking, I myself can't believe that it happened.

2012-01-25T05:35:00.001+08:00

Okay, so it's day 2 of the lunar new year. I managed to get close to 8 hours of sleep but somehow that proved to be insufficient.

I know I had 3 aunties due to come visit today but I just didn't know what time. At about 1pm, they called my grand-mother and informed her that they'll be here at 230pm. So that was when I was awoken from my sleep. Today, I decided to wear my sleeveless pink top I bought from 'Forever 21' and my pair of brown pants from 'Uniqlo' along with my brown wedges from 'Aldo'. So I got ready for 230pm, and waited and waited. I was pretty cranky from the lack of sleep, so it made it worse that they weren't here at the time they said they would be. I even managed to eat a little bit of bee hoon and chicken curry which my grand-mother had prepared as well as a power nap before they arrived an hour later.

So they sat and chatted till about half past 5 and then headed elsewhere. Darren and I quickly left and we were expected as his mother's house. We took a cab there, but because we were so late, we missed Doreen, Darren's oldest sister. Sorry ! We however managed to catch Diana ( Darren's second sister ) before they headed out. We watched half of 'Avatar' ( such an awesome movie ) & 'Knight and day' which I've been longing to watch. At about 8pm, we left to meet How Kiat. We had planned to play a round or 2 of mahjong at Aloysius's and then head to Alvan's house after, but that didn't happened.

Round 1 started at about 9pm. We continued round 2 with another one of their friend before we left. But we didn't have enough. We stopped because we were all starving. Whilst walking out, we decided that we'd head to mine, order McDonald's and then continue with our game. I have just finished my sausage mcmuffin with egg and about to go set up the mahjong table now. Wish me luck !

2012-01-24T04:56:00.025+08:00

恭喜发财，万事如意，主里蒙恩！

Happy lunar new year ! I wish everyone with good health, prosperity and a great year ahead !

Okay, back to blogging. I finally get to wear my red dress ! I actually bought it about 2 years ago, but was never brave enough to wear a bright red dress. So anyways, I have to be totally honest and admit that I'm majorly cranky today due to the lack of sleep. I only managed to get 6 hours of sleep when I got woken up by a phone call from an unknown number at11am. But I'm not mad in the slightest, in fact I'm a very happy girl. I did the most idiotic thing a while back and lost all my contacts on my iPhone. And I've been waiting ages for Ben to call me and he finally did today ! So he dropped by whilst I was still in my pajamas, how unglam ey ? But thank you for visiting and finally contacting me ! He also bought me 1kg worth of ba kwa. Uh oh. So anyways, after he left, I went to get ready as my grand-uncles & grand-aunties were coming over for lunch. My grand-mother woke up well early to prepare the mee siam. Well, they said they would be here at 12ish, but that didn't happen. Sadly, they only got here just a bit after 2pm. But before that, my god-parents and cousins came. I was starving by then, so I had a little bit to eat with them. I think I had a little bit too much to eat as my tummy was bulging out, but I shall use the new year as my excuse to be fat. Besides, I have been munching on bare pineapple tarts, ba kwa and what not. They all left at about 4pm. I took a short nap after just so that when I go out tonight, I would not be cranky.

At about 8pm, I headed to 'Bedok' to meet Darren. We took a bus to Ren You's house. Everyone was there by the time I got there. His mother had prepared steamboat for us to eat. And as you can remember, I'm totally in love with steamboats. It was absolutely delicious. Thank you aunty !

After eating, they started gambling. I on the other hand just watched the telly. I managed to watch 'Ip man', '14 blades' and half of a local movie which name I don't know. Why half ? I fell asleep on the couch. By then, it was already 2-ish. Hopefully I wasn't unglam or anything. Like sleeping with my mouth open like I normally do, or have drool dripping from one side of my mouth which happens quite frequently too. Oh wells. They were all prolly too busy gambling to notice anyways. When I woke up, I noticed that a few people such as Darren were missing. They were actually in Ren You's room playing poker. So I walked into the room and continued sleeping. About an hour later, Darren finally said it's time to go home.

It's now 5am and I'm pretty knackered. My bed is calling for me. Good night people !

2012-01-23T03:22:00.000+08:00

パパ、お誕生日おめでとう ! ♥

A very happy birthday to my father. I didn't get to see him today though, as today was the day for reunion dinner as well. I did however dropped him a phonecall and had a short chat with him though.

So I spent my day cleaning up bits and pieces of the house to welcome the lunar new year tomorrow. The whole house looked really neat, but can you guess where all the odd bits and pieces went ? That's right, chucked away into the cupboards and drawers. Hahahahaha. I'm pretty certain 50% of people out there does exactly what I did. Now now, don't try and deny it !

Evening time came really quick. Darren left for his mother's house at about 6pm. I got ready shortly after he left as my grand-uncle was due to pick us up at 730pm. I had bought this black cheong sum look-a-like dress from 'Asos' a while back and didn't have a chance to wear it yet, so my mother suggested that I wear it. I was pretty reluctant to wear it at first purely because it was black, but both my grand-mother and mother said it was fine as it wasn't the lunar new year yet, and so I did.

We met up with my other grand-uncle at the 'NUS Alumni' where we had our reunion dinner. That place was packed to the brim, but at the same time plenty of people were leaving as they had the earlier session. Our dinner was for 8pm. As soon as 8pm came, everyone went into the restaurant to get started.

Started off with the yu sheng, which frankly I never really fancied, but for some reason, I had quite a bit to eat this time. I however forgot to take a picture of it. Next up was the sharks fin soup, but before you lot grill me for animal cruelty, I reckon there wasn't any sharks fin in it. So hush now. Then was the whole herbal chicken. The chicken itself wasn't as tender as we thought it would be, but the gravy was definitely to die for. I can't even describe how great it was. And then came pork ribs covered in coffee sauce which I didn't really like. Frankly, it tasted a little awkward. Just after the fish came, I left for the toilet, but when I got back, the fish disappeared. Apparently, when they cut it up, they realised it wasn't cooked. So shortly after, they replaced it with a brand new fish. The last dish was noodles which was rather pleasant. Even before the noodles arrived, I was already stuffed, but I somehow managed to finish my portion of noodles. Fatty land, here I come ! Oh yes, to finish off, we had dessert. I didn't finish it though as I dislike the Chinese version of red bean. It was served with one tang yuan that was stuffed with black sesame.

Thank you Ku-kong & Kimpo for the lovely meal !

After dinner, my grand-uncle sent my grand-mother home and after that, he was really nice to take me to the Hong Kong cafe at 'Katong'. There I met up with Darren, Burger and 2 of burger's friends. They were there to watch the game between Manchester united and Arsenal. Once upon a time, when Christiano Ronaldo was still playing for Manchester united that I still enjoyed watching, but today I was just playing 'Order up' on my phone till there weren't any juice left. Luckily, when my phone died, there was only 20 minutes left of the game.

Well, we're finally home and I best get some sleep as I have to wake up early later on.

2012-01-21T23:56:00.037+08:00

Aww man, even though I've had about 10 hours of sleep, I still feel really lethargic. Woke up at about 2pm and got ready to go to town for our final lunar new year shopping along with Darien. We met him at about 5pm at '313' and decided to have our brealunchner, which actually means our breakfast, lunch and dinner at 'Din tai fung'. We had such a feast. We each had our own main dish along with a portion of normal xiao long baos, a portion of xiao long baos with crabmeat and a portion of drunken chicken. I'm totally in love with the chicken, it's pretty awesome.

So anyways, we hit the shops at '313' right after our meal. This time, we had our mind sets on buying everything today. You know the shoe from 'Aldo' that Darren tried on twice and wasn't sure if he should buy it or not ? He finally bought it today. I almost bought another pair of lacy heels from there as well whilst waiting for him, but unfortunately they didn't have it in my size, so there we go. After the purchase of his shoes, I actually made them follow me into 'Forever 21' and I literally took forever in there. I took quite a few tops, but at the end, I only bought 2. I'm quite pleased actually. Ah yes, I've been eyeing this blazer they were selling at 'Uniqlo' for quite a while now and I finally bought it today.

As if one pair of shoes weren't enough, Darren wanted more ! We walked over to 'Leftfoot' @ 'Cineleisure'. He browsed and tried on a few pair but nothing caught his eye. So I continued browsing and stumbled onto a pair of 'Vans' and quickly got him to try that on. We finally agreed on something and he ended up buying that pair. Whooooop. Mission accomplished !

Strolled round the 3rd floor as we had about 30 minutes before our movie started. Managed to buy ourselves a box of popcorn to share as well. We went to watch 'The viral factor' starring Jay Chou and Nicholas Tze. It was pretty good to be honest. Jay Chou's acting had definitely improved drastically. Nicholas Tze was awesome as always. The action and suspense was good as well. Thumbs up for this movie.

Ahhhh yes, here's a funny picture. My face looks really awkward firstly because I was too short and I was trying my best to tip-toe to fit my face into the frame, and secondly because people kept walking by and were staring at me.

2012-01-21T02:47:00.003+08:00

Whoa, today's practical was rather fun. We started off with a few warm up rounds in the circuit and then he asked if I was ready to go onto the main road. Happily, I replied with an 'OF COURSE'. So off to the main road we went. Randomly, he asked me, "Are you nervous ? Are you stressed ?" and I replied "No ? Why should I be ?" and he laughed. I'm so looking forward to the next lesson, except it won't be for another week and a bit due to the lunar new year. Boo hoo hoo.

As it was still early, I headed home first. I watched a little bit of Korean drama and did the laundry before heading out to meet Darren & Terence. I was a little bit late because I had to rewash the load as I had forgotten to put in the softener. But it was a good thing I did as when I was hanging my laundry, I found one of my tenant's panties in my load. The thought of it still disgusts me. Freaking hell. I swear she's next level unhygienic. Even after washing it twice, her panties still had a stain on it. AND I FREAKING WASHED IN WITH MY CLOTHES, OMFG. And just nice when I was hanging out my laundry, she walked in and said "Oh, those are my panties, I didn't know I left one piece in the washing machine". And with a disgusted face and tone of voice I replied, "Yes, I know, I don't think you left it in there, it dropped in my laundry basket". And she gave me her usual reply of, "Oh sorry, I didn't know". That's the only thing she knows how to say. Sighface.

So that aside, I met up with them at '313'. They were at 'Vault' hoping to buy a pair of shoes, but again, that failed. Then we went down to 'Aldo' to try on the same pair of shoes we tried on Sunday, but he still wasn't sure, so he didn't buy them. Then as it was still early for dinner, we popped by 'Leftfoot' at 'Cineleisure'. But again, nothing caught his eye. We then headed to 'Paragon' because Terence said he had wanted to dine at 'Thai express'. After browsing through the menu, I decided to have the 'Thai sukiyaki' as the menu stated that it was recommended by the chef. Oh my days, I wished I had ordered something else as it was too spicy for me. It felt as though I was taking a shower whilst eating as the same time. It was that bad. Even after getting an extra bowl and diluting it with water, I still couldn't really eat it. I only ended up with a numb taste bud and lips.

After dinner, we went to the 'Honeymoon dessert' stall right beside 'Thai express'. Now that's what I call awesome. I had the mango with sago and mochi with vanilla ice cream. I'm totally in love with it. Darren had something similar, except that his didn't contain ice-cream and mochi but pomelo instead whilst Terence had an overdose on peanut mochi. It was quite hilarious.

When we were done with that, we walked over to 'Lido' to meet up with Han & Yinghui as they were joining us for a movie. We watched a local film 'We not naughty'. It was fantastic ! The storyline was above average and the humour was great. You guys should really catch it if you haven't already done so. I guarantee you that it will tickle your funny-bone.

Well, I'm off to bed now. Shopping day with Darren & Darien tomorrow !

2012-01-19T18:38:00.001+08:00

Today was a rather fun day. It was my second pratical driving lesson and I got to drive more than I did yesterday. But of course, we stayed in the circuit only. He was teaching me all the basic stuffs and how to negotiate mild bends. Although, I am contemplating on whether I should change back to 'BBDC' instead of getting picked up from 'Clementi mrt station'. Reason being, when I get picked up from 'Clementi mrt station', I lose 15 minutes each way of my practical lesson, meaning I'm only left with 60 minutes instead of my rightful 90 minutes. And the sucky part ? I'm actually paying close to $65 for a lesson. Sigh. Decisions, decisions. I honestly feel that 'BBDC' should have clearly explained about this. But oh wells, we'll see ey ?

When I got home at about 330pm, I helped my grand-mother with her pineapple tarts. I helped her put the pineapple jam onto the pastry which she had prepared along with the little cross design on the top of the tart. I actually enjoy doing little things like that with her.

Right, I'm off to continue with my Korean drama now.

2012-01-17T17:14:00.002+08:00

Believe it or not, I've gone smoke free for the past 7 days. It's not really a big deal yet, but still, I'm rather pleased with myself. Hopefully I can keep this up.

2012-01-15T22:55:00.019+08:00

As chinese new year is approaching and we haven't bought our new outfits yet, we decided to do so today. We headed out at about 230pm to Orchard. We decided that we'd drop 'Paragon' first to have lunch at 'Din tai fung'. As usual, I had my zha jiang mien and Darren had braised beef noodle soup, and of course a portion of xiao long baos.

After that, we strolled to '313' to shop. Darren wanted to get a new pair of jeans but ended up buying 2 as 'Levis' had this promotion where they'd take off $50 from the original price if you exchange any old pair of jeans. So he ended up with the same model but in 2 different shades. Then we went over to 'Aldo' to check out some shoes. I recommended him to try on a pair, but after trying it on, he still wasn't sure, so he didn't buy them in the end. On the other hand, I bought a pair. It's different from what I normally buy, but I'm in love with them.

Don't be fooled by the picture. It doesn't look very high in the picture, but when I put it on, I'm actually almost the same height as Darren. :D

Anyways, after we were done with '313', it was already 930pm. We hurried over to 'Cineleisure' to see if there were any shoes that Darren liked at 'Leftfoot'. He did try on a few pairs, including one from 'Sperrys', but it didn't suit him. He tried on a pair of 'Redwing 1907' as well for the sizing, but that was about it. Our mission failed. But later how however, he managed to buy 2 shirts. Oh wells, we still have next weekend before the lunar new year.

We had a quick dinner afterwards at 'Xin wang cafe'. I was still feeling rather full from the lunch earlier and had no idea what to have. And besides, I was craving for porridge for quite a while now, so I had minced pork porridge with an extra side of salted egg. It was pretty tasty but unfortunately, I consumed less than half. Darren on the other hand was quite piggish. He had a main of noodles with luncheon meat and egg, with an extra order of dumplings and french toast. He actually managed to finish them all as well !

And this was how we ended our day.

Happy 21st birthday buddy !

A very happy birthday to my buddy, Kirk. Finally 21 ey ? Once you go past this age, there ain't no brakes yo. Hope you had a good time.

So going backwards. Today, we left the house at about 730pm and took a train down to 'Potong pasir' where Kirk lives. Then we bus-ed it over and finally got there. As soon as the lift doors open, we saw a familiar face, Sake. When we got there, we were one of the first few. Then slowly, more of his friends came. It was kind of awkward as we didn't know anyone. So the 3 of us were glued to each other. Finally, at about 10pm they decided to cut the cake. As soon as the birthday song was sung, Edwin, Jiaqi & Kenneth arrived, so they didn't really miss out.

By the way, check out Kirk's funky shirt. It was my birthday present to him, so I'm really chuffed that he wore it today. :D

So anyways, at about 11pm, we took a taxi down to 'Soul' at 'Odeon towers' where we met up with the rest of the Rejects. When we went up, it was a little awkward as Daniel was celebrating his birthday as well, and all his friends were there. So after a while, we changed to the table behind them and that's when the drinking started. At 3am when we were about to leave, Kirk was just sat beside me sleeping and this is what Darren looked like.

2012-01-13T23:55:00.015+08:00

Today we met up with the usual suspects, Darien & Terence. We had arranged to meet for 7pm, but only Darien and I were there. And seeing as we had spare time before Darren & Terence arrived, we thought that it was the perfect time to buy Terence's birthday present as his birthday is next week. We already knew what we were getting him, we just didn't know what color to get. Can you guess ? Hahahaha, we decided that we'd buy him a 'Fred perry' polo tee. In the end, we bought him a white based with green and black stripes which we later passed on to him.

After we all met, we walked over to 'Triple one' where we had our dinner. There's this awesome Sapporo ramen place on the second level. We had to much to eat ! I think we ordered a little bit too much, but even saying that, we managed to polish everything off. Once again, I had forgotten to take a picture of our lovely meal.

Anyways, we legged it over to 'Shaw' at 'Lido' after as we had a movie to catch. And today's movie was 'Petaling street warriors'. It's a locally produced film. For all you people out there that dislike locally produced films, this one is just on the next level. It was awesome. This is a definite must watch !

2012-01-11T22:36:00.018+08:00

Well, today turned out to be a pretty good day. Except, everything was unplanned. I was chilling at home when Kirk randomly messaged me on Skype to tell me about his 21st birthday celebration. Then when that was settled, we ended up chatting about random things like ramen. We were both exchanging recommendations on awesome ramen places when he suddenly asked if I wanted to go out for a ramen dinner. And so we both spontaneously agreed and met an hour later. We decided to go to 'Marutama' at 'Central'. We ordered a bowl of ramen each and had a cha-shu and gyoza as sides. I haven't been to the place for about a year ? But the standard is definitely still there. I did however forget to take pictures of my dinner.

So anyways, after dinner, buddy said he wanted to shop for a shirt for his birthday. So we decided to head over to 'Orchard road'. We just walked around aimlessly and somehow ended up at '313'. Then whilst we were walking randomly, we passed by this shop which had this pinkish floral base shirt on display. And since he mentioned he wanted something different, I suggested that he tried it on for a laugh. When he stepped out of the fitting room, I never imagined that he would look good in it. I then said that he should buy it and seeing as I haven't gotten him a birthday present, I told him that I'd buy it for him, and so I did.

After the shopping was done, it was still early, so we walked over to the coffee club next door and had a drink. It was nice catching up as we haven't done so for months ! Hopefully, we'd get to do this again sometime soon.

2012-01-10T23:23:00.003+08:00

It's my first official day of quitting smoking, and I managed to get through it smoke free successfully. It's going to be a long road up ahead, but hopefully I'll get through it. It's about time to stop seeing as I have been smoking for the past 11 years. This is it, it's now or never.

2012-01-09T23:41:00.044+08:00

So today was due to be Darren's first day of school at SIM. He didn't have any stationary, so we decided to make a trip to 'Tiong bahru plaza' where they had a popular book store. We bought a few pens, highlighters and all the essential stuff, but he simply couldn't find a pencil case that he fancied. Then I remembered that I had a really cute 'Rilakuma' pencil case at home and that will be what he'll bring along to school. After that, we went to the food court beside to have a quick lunch.

Quickly bus-ed home to get Tarou-chan so that we could bring him to the vet to have his yearly vaccination which was due for 3rd of January. I only waited till today because my dad agreed to bring me yesterday, but in the end he said he couldn't make it at the last minute. But nonetheless, we googled on vets nearby and found an awesome one at 'Havelock road'. The taxi fare each way was about $4, so it's pretty good. I was actually pretty worried that the taxi drivers wouldn't take us, but it didn't seem like much of a problem. Probably because I have a really nice pet carrier.

As soon as we got home, Darren prepared for school whilst I was preparing to meet my secondary school friends that I haven't met for 11 years for dinner. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't nervous of excited ! So anyway, we were all meant to meet at 'Somerset' at 6pm but only Kimberly was there. Then Hui Ling and Hoi Sum came. So we just sat at 'Coffee club' and had a drink. Then by 730pm, we all had dinner.

After we were done with dinner, we decided that we'd head over to 'Timbre substation' to have a couple of drinks as it also happened to be Hui Ling's birthday. I went with Hui Ling on her motorbike as she didn't know the way and the rest took a bus down. I somehow have become afraid of sitting on a motorbike. But hey, I made it there ! So anyways, they all ordered a bottle of 'Absolut vodka' to share whilst I just had a glass of mocktail. We also bought a mini apple crumble and stuck a candle on top of it to give to Hui Ling and embarrassed her by practically shouting the Happy birthday song. Managed to bump into Donald there as well.

We're still here chatting away happily and I'm honestly wishing that the night would not end. I'm having such a good time. But oh wells, I'm just glad to have been able to have met up with them lot. I guess I'd have better get off my blog now.

2012-01-08T23:23:00.038+08:00

What a shitty day today was. It was MSEC qualifier 3 today and we all thought that they would breeze through this. But we all thought wrong.

Got up at 7am to get ready. Waited for my dad's phone call which never came. So I repeatedly spammed his phone instead. And finally at 845am, I managed to get him. He then told me he was unable to meet me today so I left with Darren instead. We took a taxi, picked Darien up and continued on to 'Katong shopping centre' where 'Gaming giants' was located. Pretty much everyone was on time today except for Terence who probably lived the closest. So anyways, we all had breakfast together. I had the breakfast set which consisted of the world's sweetest coffee, so-so tasting toast and 2 eggs which practically looked black after I put a whole load of dark sauce in.

Although the event was meant to start at 10am, their first match only began at 12pm. They breezed through the first match without much setbacks. Then came lunch break. We all walked down the same street to a laska stall. Even though I hate laska, I had a bowl to myself. And when we were done, we all walked back. After a short wait, they were called to setup. Seeing as there was a spare pc beside their row, I decided I'd play some 'Blackshot' before they started. I was still playing when they were halfway through their first map. When I was done with my game and looked over, I was in a state of shock. They were more than 20 points behind. Sigh. They were behind by 38 points at the end of the first half. It was pretty impossible for them to win the 'TFM'. Next was 'SD' which they didn't do too bad in. And finally, came 'TDM'. The map was training camp and the winner is deemed by whoever reaches 80 points first. They were leading by a few points in some parts of the game, but they eventually lost by 4 points. It was the most disappointing moment, but oh wells, life goes on. Qualifier 4 I guess ?

So anyways, after all the emo talk, some of us decided that we'd go watch 'The darkest hour' at 'Tampines'. The movie was at 740pm, so David suggested we'd go chill at a coffee shop nearby. When it was 7pm, we left to go eat dinner, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, we ended up having no time to eat. And then ah hock called to tell us that he wouldn't be watching the movie because Joreen's nail wasn't done. So it ended up being the 5 of us. Darien, Rhys, Terence, Darren and myself, the usual 5. Hahahaha. Rhys somehow managed to fall asleep halfway through the movie. And they all thought it was lame and what not, but I on the other hand quite enjoyed it to be honest. :/ I quite liked one of the Russian bloke in the movie.

After the movie ended, we were all dying of hunger. We literally ran over to 'Texas chicken'. Darien, Rhys, Darren and I shared a set meal. 'Texas chicken' is actually way nicer than 'Kentucky fried chicken' even though I still like 'KFC'. But seriously, their chicken skin and meat it way tastier than 'KFC's. But they do lack of cheese fries. But still, I had an awesome dinner.

We said our goodbyes, and the 3 of us than took a long train right back to 'Queestown'. Finally made it back home and now I'm off to la-la land. Good night.

2012-01-07T23:46:00.032+08:00

So finally, Kosuke decided to join us today. We met at 'Wheelock' at 5pm. We didn't have a clue as to what we were going to do. Then Yuki decided that he wanted to have a beer, but didn't know where. Then we headed towards the direction of 'Cuscaden'. When we were almost reaching, he suggested we go to 'Loof' at 'Odeon towers' instead. That ass, he made me walk all the way to 'Forum' in my heels just to take a taxi.

Anyways, 'Loof' is such a lovely chill out place. I went for the first time with Jiaqi and a few others sometime last year. When we got there at 6pm, they told us that they had a 1 for 1 offer for any drinks in the menu. So the 2 of them ordered a jug of beer and got another free, whilst I had 2 sourish mocktail. We sat there for 2 hours just chatting away whilst having a lovely view. It was awesome.

Then came dinner time. We were all starving and didn't have a clue where to have dinner. Then after discussing for a little while, we all agreed to having Japanese cuisine. We walked over to 'Raffles city' and took a walk at the basement to see if anything caught our eye. When we were unsuccessful, Yuki suggested we go to 'Suntec city' and so we did. We walked via city link which seemed like forever before we got to 'Suntec city'. Yuki recommended this restaurant called 'Ootoya', saying that they had this restaurant in Japan and the food there is awesome. So we went in search for this restaurant. After about 30 minutes, we finally found it. We took a step in and sat down before realizing that it was pretty deserted. Both Ko-chan and I were like telling Yuki we should get out of this place. And we did. It was dead funny ! We then continued walking round in circles and finally decided to eat at 'Crystal Jade'. What a great choice. We ended up sharing 5 portions of xiao long bao, fried rice and a bowl of noodles.

After we were done, Yuki said he wanted to go to 'Marina bay sands'. So we did. And we made the world's dumbest choice by walking there. We were drenched in our own perspiration by the time we got there. But I guess the view from the sky park made it all worth it. The view was dead gorgeous.

2012-01-06T23:19:00.011+08:00

I guess I'm making up for all the lost time I didn't get to spend with Yuki before he left for Japan, so we met again today. And this time, we had a special guess, Joshua ! He randomly called me at 720pm and asked if I had wanted to go for dinner with him and Joshua. As he was coming to pick me up, I had to rush in getting ready. Amazingly, I managed to get ready just before he arrived.

We had dinner at the 'Japanese association' again. We waited till 2 of their other friends arrived. We only began eating at 920pm. That was how late they were. But it didn't matter as we had a great chat with Joshua. Again, I decided to have my mentaiko rice. After we were done, we had decided to go chill at his place, but as it was still early, we went up to the coffee house to chill. I had a cup of 'Blue mountain' coffee. That's like heaven in your mouth, seriously.

After that we cabbed to Joshua's place and waited for their friend to come. They took like forever again and only arrived at 1230am. Oh wells, I guess the day ended well, as we were all happy by the end of the night. It was definitely worth the wait ! ;)

2012-01-05T21:37:00.020+08:00

Seeing as Jiarong couldn't make it yesterday, he asked if we were free today. And so we met for dinner. We were supposed to meet at 630pm, which I was on time for by the way, but Yuki was a different story. He was about 30 minutes late. Luckily I called him before I left, otherwise he would have missed dinner and continued sleeping.

But nonetheless, we had a lovely dinner at 'Din tai fung' located at 'Wisma'. We had 20 xiao long baos between us and I had my usual zha jiang mien for mains.

So after dinner, we were planless. We actually thought Jiarong would stay for a little bit longer, but he had to rush off. The both of us were clueless as to what we were going to do as well. He kept asking me to watch 'The darkest hour', but I had wanted to watch that with Darren, so that was a big no. Then we called on Kosuke and met him for like 5 minutes before he said that he was really tired and left for home. So we just walked to the 'TCC' and chilled there. Can you guess what I had ? Yes, that's right. I had my ice mocha vanilla. We chatted for an hour an a bit before he dropped me home. What a pity though. I hope that the 4 of us can meet as a group before Yuki go back to Japan.

2012-01-04T23:55:00.002+08:00

Today was a totally awesome day ! I had a nice hour and a half hour catch up phone call chat with one of my ex-classmate from Saint Theresa's Convent. It honestly made my day ! I really hope to meet up for coffee someday soon hun !

Also, Yuki's back in town for a month ! I was kind of upset as I didn't get to see him before he left for Japan, so this time, I was determined to meet him. I met him and Jeremy for lunch today at 'Miharu' located at 'Gallery hotel'. Their ramen totally rocks. You should definitely give it a try if you haven't already been. One of the better ramen in town.

We then cabbed down to 'Cineleisure' to buy movie tickets. There wasnt't anything appealing, so we just picked a random movie title after looking at the posters. Seeing as we had an hour to spare, we decided to walk over to 'TCC' to have a quick drink. I decided to try something new and ordered the 'iced mocha vanilla' and now I crave for it everyday. It's that good.

We headed back and made it just in time for our movie. You know a movie is bad when after watching for the first 30 minutes, you still have no clue what is going on. That was exactly what happened when we were watching 'Margin call'. Even after the movie, I still don't really understand it. And what's worse, when I looked both ways, the both of them were soundly asleep, it was that bad.

As our movie ended at 5pm, we decided that it was still too early to have dinner. So we just walked around aimlessly, till we decided to go find Chelsia at her workplace. As we were walking in, she walked out happily saying that her shift had ended. We then accompanied her to 'Wheelock' for and interview before cabbing over to 'Japanese association'. As I already had a heavy lunch, I decided to just have a small bowl of mentaiko rice. Mentaiko is some kind of marinated fish roe which happens to be my ultimate favorite. You can feed me mentaiko and plain rice everyday and I'd be contented.

After dinner, we cabbed back to town and on the way there, we dropped Jeremy off at his workplace. Yuki and I then decided to go to Kosuke's house to get him out after he missed 24 of our calls. The best part, Yuki was so certain that the unit number he remembered was it. But each time we put that into the intercom, it had given us a reply of 'number not valid'. So for 15 minutes, we continued trying the same number. He had even called a friend in Japan to ask. It was that hilarious. And then the guard decided to come help us, but he himself was a little bit dumb. Firstly, he didn't know how to work the intercom. Secondly he brings us up but then says that this block didn't contain the building numbers that we were looking for. That aside, we finally managed to get Ko-chan with the help of another security guard.

After 5 minutes, Ko-chan came down. We didn't have a clue as to where we were going and we ended up walking to the 'American club'. They had 3 pints each whilst I just had a glass of coke and we just chatted the night away. I had a nice catch up session with Yuki as well.

What a fun-packed day. Totally drained now though, off to bed.

2012-01-03T19:53:00.024+08:00

Happy 5th monthsary baby ! ❤

With each passing month, I love you more and more ! Thank you for being such a wonderful boyfriend. Love you to bits.

So we had planned on watching 'The darkest hour' today, but poor baby had a really bad flu, so we decided to give it a miss. As we both woke up at 2pm today, we didn't have lunch. By 6pm I was hungry and for some awkward reason, I was craving 'KFC'. As much as I craving for it, baby was sick and so I really didn't feel like eating it. He kept insisting though, but in the end we didn't. We go to as far as calling and making half our order till they told us they didn't do delivery for cheese fries. NO CHEESE FRIES ? Forget it ! Hahahahaha

We ended up going downstairs to 'Dawson mall' instead. Baby had fishball noodles whilst I had spaghetti. My aglio olio tasted pretty good except for the fact that it was a tad bit too salty, awesome though seeing as I love salty food.

Hope you get well soon baby !

2012-01-01T23:35:00.032+08:00

Happy new year ★ あけましておめでとうございます ‼ d(*⌒▽⌒*)b

Happy new year everyone ! Brand new year, brand new start. Let's all work hard to achieve our goals but let's not forget to have fun at the same time. Whatever sadness, grudges and all things bads in 2011, let's all leave it behind and look forward to a wonderful 2012 !

Did I actually achieve any of my resolution for 2011 ? Actually, I think I did achieve a few.
*Quit smoking before the end of the year - I failed miserably.
*To save more money - I did in fact achieved this !
*To spend more time with my family - I did, I did !
*Be nicer to people - I'd say I managed 50/50.
*Stop procrastinating - Hmm......
*Take my license - I got as far as taking my Basic theory test ? :x

So here's my new list of resolutions for this year :
*Quit smoking on the 10th of January and actually be successful this time
*To get my driving license
*To get myself a job
*Maintain my weight at 42kg
*Be a better girlfriend
*Be a better person

I think that's all for now. Let's hope that I am successful in achieving all of the above this year round. It would be totally awesome. I also hope the same for everyone else whatever your new year's resolution are. Ganbatte ne ! p(*＾-＾*)q

Alright, enough of blabbering. Let me tell you how I spent the first day of 2012. Today I spent the whole day prawning with Benny & Fifi. There was this special offer. Instead of buying 3 hours for $33, you had one hour more. After using up our 4 hours, baby still didn't reach. So we all decided to buy another set of 4 hours as Fifi did mention that we didn't have to use up all our hours. It was pretty awesome. It's only my second time prawning, but I managed to catch bare prawns today ! I'm totally in love with prawning. It's my new found hobby !

When Darren finally came, we had made him try. Hahaha, he had a little bit of difficulties, but I think at the end of the day, he managed to catch 3 ! Benny also trained him up to touch the earthworm bait and the prawn so that next time we can both go alone ! :D

So anyways, today after 7 hours of prawning, we caught about 100+ prawns. Poor Fifi had to wash all them prawns and then put them on the stick. Sorry I couldn't help you Fifi ! I dare not touch them you see. :X It took us about half an hour to BBQ them all. But it was worth the wait !

We each ate so many prawns that you would think we wouldn't touch prawns for the rest of our lives right ? I don't know about the 3 of them, but I certainly am craving for more. It would be awesome if we had butter to cook the prawns with. Oh no, here we go again. Hahahahaha. I had an awesome time, thank you Benny & Fifi. I hope ya'll had a great day as I have !

2011-12-31T23:56:00.021+08:00

Happy new years eve !

Blimey, it's the last day of the year already ? Now tell me, who hit the fast-foward button on the whole of this year ?

So anyways, let's talk about this year.

Beginning of this year, I reckon I was getting better. Some more memorable events in the beginning of the year were things like winning my first champion with Team.Rejects, having my house warming with TM.Colosseum, visting Taiwan for the first time and then visiting my mum in London along with a mini trip to Paris. Then came the middle of the year where I took a bad turn. Things weren't looking very bright then and I made bare people worry. But then God answered my prayers and sent me the love of my life. And shortly after, all the pieces to the puzzle were put back together. Suddenly, everything was perfect. So you can guess how the end of the year went.

To summarize it all, there was a lot of ups and downs, people coming and going, excessive loss of weight and finding my one true love. Emo much ?

Moving on swiftly, this afternoon, baby and I watched 'the green latern'. We were meant to watch it last night, but we both had difficulties keeping our eyes open last night, so we decided to continue today instead. I quite liked it to be honest. How hot is Ryan Reynolds ? I couldn't take my eyes off him. Baby doesn't seem to agree with me though. Hahaha. He reckons my taste in guys is just plain awful. Hmpf.

We had planned to meet Darien and Rhys at 'Lavender mrt' at 5ish, so we left a little earlier so that we had enough time to pop by 'beach road' to purchase a badge for his beret. What a mission walk there and back it was, espcially under the scorching sun even though it was evening time. After we all met up, we trained it to Simei and then bus-ed it to Ah teck's & Dolly's house where they had organized a BBQ party for TeamMVP.

You can check out the pictures of today from here :

Oh yes, special thank you to Darien, Rhys, David, Jiaqi & Terence for my awesome belated birthday present. I love it so much. I especially loved how they randomly ran over to me and surprised me with it. Sankyuu ! ♥

Well, a few more minutes to the start of a brand new year. I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am, with the people you love. Off to play mahjong in a bit.

2011-12-28T20:15:00.014+08:00

Whoopie, it's Darren's first day of re-service and he got to come back really early. Although, he did sleep for 3 hours as soon as he got back.

I had planned to bring Darren & my grand-mother to try the fantastic food at 2 chefs seeing as I didn't have a birthday dinner with my grand-mother. So I woke baby up at 5pm to get ready. We took bus 186 to 'Commonwealth cresent' and then took a slow walk.

I know it's kind of silly, but I ordered the exact same thing I had the last time I was there with my mother. We ordered the cold cockles, tofu with golden mushroom, veggie cooked with 3 kinds of eggs, cereal prawn and the buttered pork ribs. The total cost of the meal came up to $46.50. Pretty decently priced huh ? I was going to take pictures, then I thought it was pointless as I already have uploaded pictures of my meal in my previous post. Hehehehe

A.v.a time !

2011-12-27T22:51:00.003+08:00

So today was the first time I've ever set foot into a polyclinic. There's a first for everything ey ? I was there to accompany baby as he was feeling a little unwell and of course to get an mc. It looked pretty empty on the first floor and we thought that was it, until she told us to proceed to the second floor. Oh my days, although there were only 11 people ahead of us in the queue, we ended up waiting for about and hour and a bit. If that's not bad enough, we had to wait another 20 minutes afterwards to collect the medication and make payment.

Anyways, after burning our entire morning, we took a train down to city hall where we met Rhys. We then proceeded to 'Cineleisure' to buy tickets for 'Alvin and the chipmunks'. We then strolled over to 'Far east plaza' to meet Darien and had lunch at the chicken rice shop on the 5th floor. Even though we finished up everything, I think we may had ordered a little bit to much. Between the 4 of us, we had a whole chicken, 4 eggs and a plate of veggie. Seriously ? :O

After lunch, we still had an hour and a bit to burn, so we ended up walking around 'Madarin gallery'. Then we found a comfortable spot on the ground floor where they had this huge massive sofa bed like chairs. We spent about 30 minutes sitting on the sofa playing on our phones. Then finally 350pm came. We walked back to 'Cineleisure'.

'Alvin and the chipmunks' have to be the cutest movie ever. Baby quite enjoyed it even though it's his first ever 'Alvin and the chipmunks' movie. Hahaha, there was this part in the movie where they were fighting over the mango and then 'Eleanor' goes "my precious". It was dead cute, and all you could hear was Darien's laughter.

After the movie, we took a bus back to my place as we decided to have an impromptu steamboat session. We went into the 'NTUC' down at 'Dawson mall' and bought the ingredients. We bought bare stuff and it only cost us $26 total. Cheap huh ?

Special thanks to my baby for washing up after ! ♥

2011-12-26T19:05:00.003+08:00

This is how we spent our boxing day.

We woke up at 1pm and lazed around in bed till 2pm. Yes, we are lazy lazy people. We then watched 'Super 8' which I didn't get a chance to watch at a cinema for some reason, but my mother did say she watched it on the airplane on the way back here and said it was sick. And it was indeed sick ! I totally loved the storyline and all the kids acting was top notch ! Even Kyle Chandler was in it, what more can I ask for ? This is a definite must watch if you haven't already watched it !

So anyways, after 'Super 8' we decided to watch another movie but we both had no idea what. When I suggested 'Cowboy and aliens', he replied me with "what ? alien again?". So we were back at square one. Then after much consideration, we both agreed on 'The last airbender'. The reason why I missed this at the cinema was because every person I asked had already watched it, and obviously I wasn't going to go to a cinema by myself. It turned out to be pretty awesome and baby totally enjoyed it as well, despite so many of my friends telling me how disappointing it was. I guess we both enjoy almost anything we watch ! Can't wait for 'The last airbender 2' to be released. This time I'll be sure to watch it in a cinema !

It is now dinner time and since I was craving for the prosperity burger they are having for the Chinese new year period ( this is all Darren's fault for ordering it 2 weeks ago ), we called McDonald's delivery. I don't like change you see. I'd never order something I've never tried, and the other tried I decided to take a bite out of Darren's burger and fell in love with it immediately. Although, they did call not too long ago and said that they forgot about our order. ._________________________.'

Merry Christmas ★ メリークリスマス.

Merry Christmas everyone ! Hope everyone had a good time at Christmas as I have with my baby.

So today my god-parents invited us to their house to celebrate Christmas which is what we normally do for every Christmas anyways. The 3 of us boarded a train at 1pm for Tampines where they live. When we got there, we were told to board bus '297 - redline', but apparently I can't follow instructions and ended up stopping 2 bus stops later in a completely different direction. So my dear cousin, Terence, came to pick us up ! Hahahahaha. They cooked up so much this year. They prepared buah keluak, marcaroni, mee siam, fried bee hoon and had different kinds of ham. I ate so much buah keluak that I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be a pretty sight when I visit the bathroom tomorrow.

We headed for home at about 6pm and got home an hour later. We're just about to watch 'the other guys' now. But before that, here are pictures of my 2 wonderful Christmas presents. Well, I had one more, but we've polished them all ( they were from my aunt ). :x

a piggybank from my god-parents.

Totally love them both, thank you !

2011-12-25T00:25:00.000+08:00

So after last nights crazy games, we ended up sleeping at 6am, which was about the time David and Terence left. Darien slept over for a little while before going home. Baby, Rhys and I ended up sleeping till 2pm.

We had wanted to watch 'Alvin and the chipmunks', but there weren't any slots, so we settled for 50/50. Fabian had said he wanted to join us as well. So after getting ready, we walked over to the bus stop. But baby and I had a little tiff and headed home and only joined them 2 hours later.

After we met up with them, we decided to dine at 'Waraku'. On the way to 'Heeren', we saw a nice Christmas tree and decided to take some pictures. Anyways, I think I'm so boring. I'm always ordering the same old dishes. I think one of my new year's resolution is to be brave and try eating new dishes ! Hahaha.

Quickly walked over to 'Scape' to purchase some gong-chas before collecting our movie tickets. And just to let you know, Fabian went into the girls toilet, SHAME SHAME ! :p Moving on, 50/50 was a great movie. It's about this bloke who get's cancer at the age of 27 but fights it with his might. There was some funny parts as you would expect with 'Seth Rogen' acting and of course the depressing parts. I don't understand how Fabian could fall asleep when the 4 of us really liked it. Pffff.

After the movie, we had stepped out for a smoke and little did we know that we had stepped into the battlefield of snow spraying. We quickly smoked and said our goodbyes. Darren, Darien & I were left stranded at 'Cineleisure' as it was pouring. We decided to wait it out. We stood outside under the shelter for about 15 minutes when we realised the rain had no intention of stopping. So we decided to go upstairs to find seats. We ended up sitting there for a while and got bored. This is when we started going round taking random pictures.

When we were done, we decided to go downstairs to see if the rain had stopped. As it was still raining, we found ourselves a comfortable corner where we thought would be safe from the battlefield. Then a few minutes later, everyone started counting down the seconds to Christmas. And we realised after everyone shouted 'Merry Christmas' that we were in the most dangerous spot. All that shaking and spraying sound made me nervous ! And this is what happened to the both of them who were shielding me from the 'snow'.

2011-12-23T23:59:00.003+08:00

Whoa, it's once again my birthday. Sometimes I wish there is a pause button to life. But anyways, thank you for all the birthday wishes guys ! Especially from my baby boy, my mother, my grand-mother, my homies, Sean and my dad, whom for the first time in my life called me specially to wish me a happy birthday. Although I must say I'm quite upset as this is my first birthday where I recieved no presents but I'll get over it ey ? But that one simple phone call from my father really really made my day.

And also, from an unknown number which I think was Ben. Ben, if that was you, please please contact me. I lost all my contacts a few months ago and have no way of contacting you. I was banking on you calling or texting me, but you never did. So if you see this, please please call me.

So I actually had no plans. Well, I had wanted to go to 'Nana' but we didn't make any reservation for a table and furthermore, none of us really drink. So eventually, that plan was scrapped. Also, Darien wouldn't have been able to get in. In the end, they planned to have a nice dinner and watch 'Misson impossible 4'. We ended up not having dinner though, as I was really late due to waiting for a bus which never came and all the taxis that I flagged just drove off after I told them I wanted to go to Orchard.

Mission impossible 4 was really awesome. Although, I do not have any recollection of watching the previous 3. Tom cruise was still as hot as ever but might I say his hair did not do him any justice. It was long, centre parting and at some point of the movie, it even looked greasy. But that aside, the movie was just pure exciting. It was also my first time watching a movie at the newly renovated 'Shaw' at Lido. Their leather seats are pretty comfortable and the bass system is definitely a million times better than the ones they have at 'Cathay'. Probably will be watching more movies there now !

We were all starving half way through the movie as we had skipped dinner. So as soon as the movie ended, we were all deciding on where to go for dinner. I suggested that we eat at McDonald's as it was just right there in our face. Once seated, we decided where to go after as well. We were hoping that Ry and that lot would be at 'Nana', but they weren't. Then Edwin told us to head over to where they were, but yeah, scapped the idea afterwards.

Ended up at my place where we played silly games and drank wine.

Special thank you to my baby boy, David, Darien, Rhys and Terence for spending my special day with me. Although I really wished 2 other people were there as well, but they had their own plans. Oh well. It would have been nice though.

Oh yes, I decided that I'd pamper myself earlier today. So I ended up in a nail salon and this were the results.

Pretty neat huh ?

2011-12-22T20:11:00.002+08:00

Happy winter solstice !

2011-12-21T21:23:00.035+08:00

Seeing as I haven't seen Alastair in a few weeks, I decided to ask him out today. We had a nice time catching up.

We met at 130pm at 'Plaza Singapura' to have my favorite noodles at this noodle bar at basement 2 of the mall. I had my standard 'spicy diced pork noodles', but I have to say, today's bowl of noodles tasted really blend. But despite that, I finished every bit of it to the last drop. I am now one stamp away from getting a free set ! I will prolly go again soon with Darren. Hehe.

We then took a slow walk to 'Cineleisure' to purchase the movie tickets. We bought tickets for the 5pm timeslot. As we had about 2 and a half hours to burn, we thought we'd go across to the 'TCC' and cotch there. I had a cup of latte and a slice of blueberry cheesecake. I don't even know why I ordered one. I was still feeling so full from the bowl of noodles earlier. Oh wells.

So finally it was time for our movie. We went to watch 'Already famous'. We both quite liked it to be honest. The storyline wasn't at all bad and it was quite hilarious. I read in the papers that the Malaysian's slammed her for her fake Malaysian accent, but I thought she did a great job to be perfectly honest. Anyways, I've always been a fan of local movies but even if you aren't, you should go watch it if you haven't. Honestly, it was quite good !

After the movie, we decided where to go for dinner. Alastair said he felt like eating 'Subway', so we walked over to 313. When we got there, we realised there weren't any seats. Then he randomly said he wanted to eat 'Botak Jones', so then we walked back again. I just watched him eat though ( well I stole a little bit of his mash potatos ) because I still felt really full from the cheesecake and oh did I mention I had a cup of gong-cha as well ? Made him accompany me till my bus came after ! :p

Anyways, off to play a little bit of A.V.A now.

2011-12-17T23:52:00.002+08:00

ママ、お誕生日おめでとうございます！♥

Happy birthday mama ! I miss you so much and I wish you were here. Have a wonderful day ! So I bought my mother an advance birthday present. Well, obviously because she's gone back. I bought her a 'Chanel' wallet to match her bag.

Today is Benny's birthday as well and he invited us over to his place. The 3 of us had planned to meet at Queenstown mrt station at 3pm and then meet Darren at Jurong East mrt after but thanks to the rain, our plan had failed. Rhys had arrived on time, so I told him to walk over to mine first whilst we waited for Darien. about 40 minutes later, Darien called us and said he was leaving, and so we left. Darren had nothing else better to do, so he took a train back to Queenstown. We then took a train to Woodlands to meet Terence. Oh my days, Woodlands feels so far away !

We walked over to Benny's place after. We played on the wii for a bit. Now I'm so tempted to buy 'Mario kart' & 'Rayman's raving rabbit'. But that would mean I would have to buy another 3 more controllers. I only had 2 to begin with, and now I'm left with 1 because the other one randomly stopped working. Should I, or shouldn't I ? Anyways, after we had dinner, everyone gathered round to cut the cake. He had 2 adorable little nieces. And my dearest brother, DAVID YIP was late as usual. Luckily he didn't miss the cake cutting !

After that, they were deciding what to do and they suggested going prawning. I was pretty excited as I've never been. I must sound like a country pumpkin huh ? Prawning was pretty fun. The sense of achievement after you've caught a prawn, mmmmmmmmmm. I caught a total of 4 for the whole night. I would have caught more, but it sure wasn't easy. And did I mention as well that my whole night was pretty much dominated by a cockroach ? David & Alvin attempted to get rid of it a million times, but it didn't help that the whole place was covered with wooden boards. What an annoying bugger ! Anyways, after our time was up, we BBQ-ed the prawns. I swear I haven't ate this much prawn head in my life. I plan not to eat anymore for a while as well, lest I die of high cholestrol soon. :p

2011-12-10T23:05:00.063+08:00

Oh no, I so wasn't looking forward to today. 2 weeks have gone by in a blink of an eye, and today's the day I've been dreading, the day mother goes back to the UK. Sigh.

Well, today we went out early to meet aunty Clara for breakfast at the 'TCC' located at 'International building'. My mother and I shared a plate of 'American breakfast'. After about 2 hours, we headed back home. My mother wanted to have her hair permed, so I asked if I could have my hair re-dyed as well, and she said yes ! Sankyuu mama ! We both had a 'Shisedo' hair treatment done after as well. My hair feels lovely now !

After we were done, we hurried back up so that we could make one last trip down to Orchard road. She had the intention of going to 'Sephora' to purchase some 'Argon oil' as it works wonders to the hair and skin. But it was a wasted trip, as she didn't realise that she was on the American website the night before. But hey, at least I managed to buy a retractable lose powder brush and a brown eyeliner. We went down to the supermarket afterwards to buy 'ba kuah'. As she was queueing, I walked around trying to look for a shop like 'Achi-ichiban', you know like a stall that sells all the sour plum and what not. Luckily, there was a one a few stalls down. Whilst she was deciding on what to buy, I thought I'd try all the different samples of cuttlefish. They weren't half that bad you know ? I thought it'd be funny to blow some air into my mother's face after eating too, and as you can guess, she wasn't too impressed. Hahahahaha.

So anyways, we went home after. I watched as my mother packed her bags. I was really upset. I so wasn't ready for today. I've been enjoying these 2 weeks we spent together. Sigh, it'll be another year till we get to see each other. All right, enough of the depressing talk. My grand-uncle came shortly after to take us for dinner. He asked my mother if she had any special requests and then she realised she hadn't had any satay yet. So we ended up at the 'Satay club' down at 'Lao pa sat'. We had such a feast. Stingray, veggie, la-la and a whole load of satays.

Drove to the airport after. After checking in, we had some time left so we went to have coffee. And then the dreadful time came. I was tearing as she walked further and further away. Oh wells, next year ey ?

Well, we just got home not long ago, but baby and I are off out to watch 'Twilight : Breaking dawn' now. Our show starts soon.

2011-12-09T22:45:00.036+08:00

Sigh, it's my mum's second last day in Singapore. I'm so not looking forward to her leaving. I've been having so much fun spending time with my mum these past 2 weeks.

So anyways, today we had lunch Aunty Deborah and her pretty little daughter at 'Din tai fung' at Paragon. I had my favorite 'za jiang mian', and this time I could finally try the 'xiao long bao' but with crab in it. I think we ordered a little bit too much. We had extra side orders of pork chop, the original xiao long bao and the xiao long baos with crab in it, oh yes and a plate of veggie as well along with a main dish each. Hahahaha, at this point of time, I don't even wish to step onto the weighing machine.

After lunch, we headed home. It just poured non stop. We were supposed to go visit my grand-father's grave today, but decided in the end not to, as the rain made it inconvenient. My mum and I then decided we'd go downstairs to have a pedicure & manicure done instead. It felt pretty awesome having a full pedicure done. Go away dead skin, shoo ! Usually I have my standard dark colors put on my nails, but today I thought I'd go for something different. I had like a baby pink on my fingers and a nude brown on my toes. It was quite sweet to be honest.

After we were done, we went upstairs to have a quick change of clothes and then bus-ed it to 'Alexandra village' where we met with the choir people for dinner. We were supposed to go to 'Jumbo', but the only 2 outlets near us were fully booked and their earliest slot was 930pm, so we went to this well known 'tze char' restaurant located at '126 Alexander village'. I finally got to eat my favorite chilli crab with man tou. I'm a happy girl. We had so many other dishes today ! We had some kind of veggie, squid rings fried with salted egg, stuff you tiao, prawn paste chicken, cereal prawn and of course my chilli crab with steamed buns.

They were deciding where to go for coffee after dinner, and then I thought since my mother hasn't had any durians yet this trip, and today was her last night here, I suggested that we'd buy some durians and then go over to my place. And that's exactly what we did. Uncle Kee Chye drove over to 'Stirling road' to get some and then we went back home.

Now they're all outside enjoying the durians. I shall endure the smell just for my mother !

Oh yes, and after they all left, I was playing with this bubble thing that aunty Sandra bought for my mother.

2011-12-08T23:15:00.063+08:00

So today, Aunty Sandra & Dani came over to our place in the morning to learn how to make 'mee siam' from my grand-mother. But before that, I decided to give Tarou-chan a shower so that he'd smell good.

They bought my mother's favorite chinese rojak.

After pigging out on the delicious chinese rojak, Aunty Dani gave me a lesson on belly dancing, and might I say it ain't the easiest of dances to learn. But saying that, Aunty Dani self taught herself and now dances like a professional belly dancer ! She's just awesome ! After making a fool of myself, she gave us a spectacular performance. I just love both Aunty Sandra & Dani lots. They're lovely and great fun !

A few hours later, another 2 of my mum friends came over as well. Then my grand-mother gave them a mee siam demostration.

After she was done cooking, we all gathered round to have a taste. Then Aunty Sandra took pictures of my grand-mother. She was smiling for the camera, which she normally doesn't do. The pictures came out lovely. Also took some group shots after.

And here's a picture of Tarou-chan's 'O_O' face ! Ah yes, all pictures above are courtesy of Aunty Sandra !

After they left at about 4pm, we chilled for a while and then got ready as Aunty Linda came to pick us up to visit Tania, Christian & Colin. They're gorgeous little sweetie pies. Stayed and chatted for a little while and then we headed to Dempsey to collect my mother's glasses. Then Uncle Joey came to pick us up a while later and we headed to 'Valley point' for dinner.

Uncle Joey brought us to 'Dozo' to have dinner along with Aunty Sandy and her husband. It's a Japanese fusion restaurant, which was surprisingly good to be honest. We all had the same cold appetizer. And then next I chose the sashimi, followed by a chawanmushi with a hint of truffle oil and then I had crab bisque. That tasted heavenly. For my main dish, I chose the 'kuro buta cheek'. It was really good, but I think the thought I had in my head that I was eating a pig's cheek turned me off a little. And finally for dessert, I had the chocolate lava cake.

Thank you very much Uncle Joey for the scumptious meal !

2011-12-07T22:32:00.024+08:00

Surprise, surprise. Today was all about eating again. I can see my arms growing bigger day by day. That's how bad it is.

So anyways, today we met aunty Judy & aunty Joanna for lunch. We met them at Kallang and there they picked us up and brought us to a nearby prawn noodle stall. The prawn noodles there are pretty awesome. They also bought the Chinese rojak. The only thing I like in the Chinese rojak is that crispy prawn cracker. For some weird reason, my mother didn't take a picture of the awesome prawn noodles, so too bad.

After lunch, we went to 'Bugis junction'. We had coffee at 'TCC'. They 3 ladies chatted away, whilst I was playing with Adna. Malcom was playing on his iPad. Aren't they the cutest ? XD

After they left, my mother and I walked around Bugis to do a little shopping. My mother ended up buying a bottle of 'bb cream' from the face shop and 2 polo t-shirts for uncle Pat from 'BHG'. Went home after to pick my grand-mother up as we were meeting my god-parents and cousins for dinner.

We had dinner at a 'tze char' stall ( I can't remember the name, it goes along the line of '....... sambal fish' ) at 'Guillemard' road. We had sambal kangkong, sambal fish, pork leg with salted veggie, garlic crab, prawn paste and some other dishes ( I must be getting old because I can't remember what I ate a few hours ago ). Strangely enough, there aren't any pictures of dinner as well. I thought I saw my mum snap a few pictures, but I can't find it in my folder. Oh wells.

Off to bed now as aunty Sandra & Dani are coming over in the morning !

2011-12-06T23:22:00.046+08:00

Whoa, the eating spree continues. My mum had a lunch appointment with her ex class mate from her secondary school and I tagged along. We were told to meet her at 'One north' mrt station. We took the escalator up one floor and there was a Penang buffet restaurant. Honestly, the food there is awesome. They had so much variety. They had char kueh tiao, chicken curry, assam prawns, mixed vegetable, beef rendang and much more. They also had a nasi lemak stand, Penang laska / prawn mee stand and lots of delicious desserts. Although pretty much all I ate was 3 bowls of Penang laska. I'm sure you can tell that Penang laska is my favorite. I did however try a little bit of everything else though !This restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Thank you Aunty Mary for the wonderful lunch !

After lunch, we went to meet another one of my mother's friend for coffee at Suntec city. My eyes were actually closing when I was sat on the comfortable arm chair. But I somehow forced them open as it would have been rude if I dozed off. My drink had a cute heart shape design on it, so I snapped a picture of it and sent it to Darren. :D

It was still quite early so we headed to Orchard after. We went to 'Isetan' this time. My mum finally managed to buy this cute little brown bag with lace trimmings that we saw a few days back. I was going to buy one as well, but that was the last piece. My mummy bought me somemore of my favorite choco mochi bread from 'Sun moulin' as well before we went home. Had a quick change of clothes before we went out for dinner.

Cabbed over to 'Japanese association'. I haven't been there for quite a while. I used to go every other day, so it was nice to be back there again. We had dinner with a few of my aunty and uncles at the family restaurant and then went upstairs to the coffee house where they all chatted away. Oh yes, there isn't any pictures of dinner because my mum forgot to take some. Hahahaha

Right, I'm off to bed now.

2011-12-05T18:30:00.001+08:00

Today was a relaxing day compared to the rest of the days since my mother came back. I woke up at 1030am to get ready. We took 111 down to 'Suntec city, Tower 5' where we met my mother's friend. We then had lunch at 'Qiji'. I've seen quite alot of this 'Qiji' spread around Singapore, but I never had the chance to try it. I had mee siam which obviously is nothing compared to my grand-mother's, but I guess it was alright. My mother had mee rebus which she said was too sweet. And we had popiah to share, which I completely disliked. I think I'm just too used to home made popiah.

After lunch, we walked over to 'Parkview' to meet uncle Joey. It was a fairly long walk, but my mum and I had an enjoyable talk along the way. We had coffee at a coffee house downstairs uncle Joey's office.

Headed for home at about 5 to a home cooked meal. My mother had wanted to have the pig stomach with ginko nut soup, so my grand-mother made it for her. She also made sweet potato leaves and fried pomfret.

Right, off to catch up on my channel 8 dramas via 'xin msn' now.

2011-12-04T22:23:00.000+08:00

What a disappointing day.

Started off with breakfast at McDonald's again. Then we played our first match in the winner's bracket against 'MS DOT', which we then lost. Then we had an hour long lunch break whilst the loser's bracket played. Then we play against 'Team.MLP' for a chance to be in the top 2, which we later won. Once in the winner's bracket again, in order to get 1st place, we had to play 'MS DOT' twice. Our first game was stupidly close. We had a clear shot in winning one set, but thanks to stupid mistakes including my biggest mistake ( trying to plant the bomb when I was getting shot by 'MrDivine' and not moving, cost us 1 round ). Oh wells, life goes on ey ? The first game ended up in a draw, so we had to go into the tie-breaker which was 1st to 3 rounds. The map turned out to be 'fox-hunting'. You know what sucks ? We were only behind by 1 point to proceed to the final map. Sigh. We ended up in 2nd place.

So anyways, after the prize presentation, baby and I rushed home. The 4 of us then took a taxi to uncle Paul's house at Chai chee for dinner. Dinner was fanastic ! Aunty Sue and uncle Paul cooked us bak kut teh, sambal goreng ( my mother's favorite ), chicken rendang, chicken feet with sweet black sauce and cabbage. Man, I swear I'm putting on them pounds faster than you can say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Alright, I shan't type anymore crap. Here are the pictures !

2011-12-03T11:55:00.001+08:00

Happy 4th monthsary baby ! ♥

Wow, it's already our 4th month ? Can you guess how we spent it ? I'll tell you. We spent the whole day playing Ava. I got up at 8am and Darren woke up half an our later to prepare. Arrived at 'Funan digital life mall' at 1030am, and guess what ? No one's there. We ended up having breakfast by ourselves at McDonald's. We were told that the reporting time was 11am but they weren't even set up at the point of time. I think our first match was at 130pm, followed by a long break and then 2 matches back to back at 330pm. Whoopie, we made it to tomorrow's finals !

We headed to 'Mbox' after for training and we only just got home. I'm beat. Early start again tomorrow. Off to bed.

Oh yes, my sweetie pie surprised me with my favorite strawberry shortcake from 'Four leaves' ! I forgot to snap a picture of it before he cut a slice. :(

2011-12-02T22:58:00.046+08:00

Today we went over to Commonwealth to have a breakfast / lunch as my mum wanted to visit the jewellers to have a ring made smaller. My grand-mother had vegetarian noodles that didn't taste of much, my mother had some soon kueh's and a bowl of barley with ginko nuts, whilst I had a bowl of the most tasteless economy rice ever. Moral of the story ? Please do not patronise the 'Kofu' at Commonwealth station.

Let's just forget about lunch. So anyways, after we were done at the jewellers, we took a taxi to Far east plaza as my mum wanted to have a proper look at the chinese style clothes I mentioned about yesterday. The lady took out a few different pieces to show her, and finally she came out with one 'chiong sum' that we both agreed on. Whilst waiting for her, I tried on a few pieces myself and fell in love with one. It was a old fashion looking 'chiong sum' on the top, but below was a flare skirt. I didn't buy it in the end though, because it wasn't my size and I found it a hassle that I had to have it altered. I did however end up buying a top. I just thought I could match it with a pair of jeans and wear it during Chinese new year next year. We went home after browsing round the mall for a bit.

Quickly freshened up and took a taxi to Commonwealth cresent where we met the choir people for dinner. I have no idea what the restaurant was called to be honest, but it is located at block 116, commonwealth cresent. It's outlook is one of the most rundown looking and unappetizing to eat at, but honestly, the food there is just simply awesome. We had the taste of the best cold drunken cockles which were to die for, garnished with tons of garlic, spring onion and sliced chilli. Then we had spinach with 3 kinds of eggs which tasted so good that I don't even know how to describe. Pork ribs with powered butter of which I was having for the first time. Cereal prawns which I couldn't eat because of my wound. Tofu with enoki mushrooms were just so tasty. We also ordered something that looked like 'ngoh hiang' but I have no idea what it's called. And last but not least the sliced fish, which is prolly the only thing there that I didn't rate. It could be that it was the only thing I have been eating for the past 2 weeks and was sick of it. But seriously, you have to go check this place out. It's so reasonably priced as well. I think it cost us $13 each and there was 9 of us. I think I just found my favorite 'tze char' restaurant. XD

After dinner, we went to Tanglin shopping mall to have coffee and sweets. I'm sorry but I'm getting old and can't remember the name of the place we patronised. But this I do rememember. Korkor Gerrard did mention that they brought this brand from Melbourne and it is located at basement 1 of the shopping mall. We each ordered a slice of cake and shared it between us so we could try the different cakes. Sorry there weren't any pictures of the desserts. We forgot to take some.

2011-12-01T22:07:00.035+08:00

It's been such a long time since I've had dim sum. Dim sum has always been one of my favorite food to eat. It's light, yet filling. So this afternoon, my mother brought us to 'Crystal Jade' at 'Great world city' to have some. We ordered chee chong fun with char siew, char siew bao, chives and pork dumpling, har kow, woo kok, steamed pork ribs and 2 portions of chicken feet.

After lunch, we decided we'd drop by 'Far east plaza' as my mum wanted to buy a pair of jeans from 'New future'. Also, she had bought this pair of flared trousers from this Aunty that sells chinese clothings and wanted to see if she had any nice clothes this time round. She tried on a few cheong sums but there were just simply too many to chose from and we were running late my eye appointment, so she decided to come back another day.

Brisk walked all the way to 'Paragon' and we made it just in time. Oh my days, I've never seen the clinic so full before. There weren't any space to sit and wait. After a while, a few patients left and we managed to get a seat. Then they called me to have my eye tested and continued to wait for almost an hour before they came to tell us that they were running about 20 patients behind and asked if I wanted to come back later on about 8ish. It was either that or reschedule for another day, but I just thought I'd get it over and done with today. But I honestly found it quite silly though. They could of called and said that they were running late right ? :| Before my grand-mother left for home, we decided to take pictures with the Christmas tree at 'Paragon'.

So anyways, we walked over to the 'McCafe' at 'Lido' to have a quick cup of tea before she left for her dinner. I on the other hand took a slow stroll back to 'Paragon' and felt like a lost sheep. Baby only arrived at 830pm, and even after he came, I didn't get to see the doctor till half past 9. What a waste of my time.

Finally we're home. .___________________.'

Yesterday was Redhill market, today Ghim moh market. We had 'kueh chup'. It's been such a long time since I've had it. The 'kueh chup' at Ghim moh ain't too bad either.

After lunch, we headed to Tiong bahru plaza as my mum wanted to have her hair cut. I was contemplating on whether I should cut a 'pixie' hair cut, but seeing as it would have been a drastic change, I was really hesitant as much as I wanted it. In the end, I decided that I would just have a trim. But the trim ended up to be a whole new hair style. I really hate what it looks like now, but I must say my hair looks and feels a million times healthier than what it was before. We quickly made our way back home to have a quick shower before meeting my mother's ex schoolmates for dinner.

We decided that we'd travel by train to Toa payoh. Oh my days, it was 6ish and it was peak hour-ish. It felt like I was a sardine fish in a tin can. Anyways, they chose to eat at 'Sizzlers'. Dinner there weren't too bad. Although, I did find it hilarious how my mum friend's chose to eat at a steak based restaurant, but they only attacked the salad bar. Originally, my mum and I ordered a steak each, but they mucked up our order and my mum said to cancel one set. Luckily we managed to cancel. I couldn't even down half my steak. It would have been such a waste !

Anyways, I'm off to bed. All this early mornings and long walks are making me tired !

2011-11-29T22:37:00.036+08:00

Busy busy busy we have been. So anyways, today we went to Redhill market to have breakfast / lunch. My mum had one of her favorites, yong tau foo, and my grand-mother had mixed vegetable rice. I on the other hand didn't know what I wanted to eat so I ended up not eating at all.

After lunch, we took a taxi to 'Parkway parade'. As I missed lunch and it was about 3pm when we got there, I felt a little bit hungry. Then I remembered that there was this stall in the food court that sold awesome 'Mee rebus', and they are still there ! I must say it still tastes the same.

We were just browsing round the mall to see if anything caught our eyes. Then we decided to walk into 'Crocs' to see if there were anything that fits my grand-mother. It's close to impossible finding a pair of shoes for her as her feet size is 3. After spotting some potential purchases, we found out that their smallest sizing is 4. But luckily she managed to fit into a pair of slip in shoes and we quickly bought them. My mother also ended up buying a pair of lovely earrings from 'Isetan'.

Then came dinner time. My grand-uncle came to pick us up and brought us to a well known Chinese restaurant at 'NUS'. The food there sure was great, except for the fact that there was this strand of curly hair which we reckon was from someone's armpit in my bowl of sharks fin soup. And all they did was replaced it with a brand new bowl. What a lucky girl I am ey ? Anyways, here are some pictures from our dinner earlier.

2011-11-28T23:22:00.046+08:00

Whoa, we went round half of Singapore today thanks to Aunty Sandra and Danny. They brought us to this restaurant called 'Westlake' located at Farrer road. Their speciality dish there is their 'kong bak bao'. It was my first time eating this dish, and it honestly tasted quite nice. Only thing is that it's pretty sinful, all them fats. We also had cuttlefish with kangkong, sweet and sour fish and mapo tofu which I was in love with.

After lunch, we took a drive to Serangoon where the old 'Saint Joseph's Convent' was at. Aunty Sandra had the intention of bringing my mum into the school but it was locked up. Our next stop was 'Chomp chomp'. We managed to take pictures outside the old shopping mall, but a few moments later, it started raining heavily. We ended up taking a picture of my mum from the chomp chomp sign from afar. And as we were stuck umbrella-less, we sat at the prata place and chatted whilst having tea. I think the rain only become lighter after an hour in which we decided to make a run for it. Our next destination was Katong. Aunty Sandra brought my mum there to buy some 'Nonya kueh kuehs'. Round the corner was a stall which sold laska and tau kwa. The laska must have tasted awesome as my mum managed to finish the bowl despite having such a heavy lunch. I dread to think of the diet she has to put herself on when she gets back. Hehe.

Oh my days, after holding my pee in for hours, I was bursting on the way home. In actual fact, I was already urgent before we left the stall, but I decided to hold it in. But when we were at Farrer road, I just felt that I couldn't hold it in anymore. It was hilarious. I had to tell them all not to laugh and all in fear that it would just come out. I swear that I pee-ed for 2 minutes continuously. I'm not even exaggerating. Moral of the story ? Never hold your pee in.

Anyways, we managed to get an hours rest before meeting Uncle Paul & Autny Milo for dinner. They picked us up and they brought us to a restaurant which was beside Singapore polytechnic. They ordered fish head curry which I couldn't eat much of because of my wound. Aside from that, we also had long beans with pickled veggie and hot plate beancurd. You can never go wrong with hot plate beancurd, yum. After dinner, they went to a lounge located just a few steps away. I had a glass of 'Baileys'. I had completely forgotten that I was meant to stay away from alcohol as well, and only realised when Uncle Paul tried to order me another glass. Oh wells, hope all will be fine.

I'm knackered, off to bed.

2011-11-27T22:35:00.042+08:00

It has been quite a while since I've wanted to buy and try B.B cream. I've been hearing people around me talking about it for months now, and I have never quite got round to buying one. And just before my mum arrived, I was on the phone with her and told her how we had to go get us some. And so we did. We didn't really know much about the different brands, but we settled for 'Missha'. We went to 'Orchard central' where they had a branch. The sales lady suggested the suitable B.B creams for our skin type and we went along with her. She suggested that I try their 'Signature'. Hopefully this stuffs good.

We then continued our shopping spree. My mother wasn't really looking for anything in particular so we just walked. We started with O.G and walked our way up until we ended back at Tangs. My mum wanted to buy me a pair of 'Fit flops' yesterday, and I couldn't decide on which pair I wanted, so I told her we'd come back another day. But I decided that I was going to get the 'Rokkit' black. And so we bought one today from Tangs. Pity I have misplaced my 'Tangs' membership card. I have absolutely no clue what you get for being a member, but I'm sure you'd get something right ? Otherwise there isn't much of a point of being a member. Oh wells. Aren't they pretty ?

After walking around at 'Tangs', we bussed it home. My goodness, what a track to the bus stop it was. Anyways, made it back home. We quickly freshened up as we were having dinner with my dad, my stepmum and brother. Good timing for dinner as well, seeing as tomorrow is my stepmum's birthday. So when were just about to leave the house, my brother called to say that they would be late, so I asked him if they could come pick us up on the way. They came slightly after 7pm and we headed for 'Akira'. My mum thought it'd be a great idea to go there seeing as Yu-chan could eat till his heart content there. And he sure did. Darren and him just kept eating non-stop. Also, previously when I was there with my dad, we had wanted to try the 'Goma' ice cream, but we were too full. So this time we did. The taste of the ice cream itself is pretty solid, although the red bean garnish that they put on top of it was slightly off and the price too is a turn of. It costs $6 for a serving. Anyways, here are some of the pictures my mum took.

Oh boy, I really need to go on a diet.

2011-11-26T21:45:00.011+08:00

Happy birthday son ! ヾ(^ ^ゞ

Earlier in the start of the day, my mum and I decided that we'd paint Orchard road red. We started off with chicken rice at 'Far east plaza'. Oh my days ! It was only the 2 of us but we managed to rack up a bill of $28. She ordered half a chicken, gizzard, veggies and salted veggie duck soup.

So after our heavy lunch, we decided to walk it all off. We walked to Tangs, Paragon and Takashimaya. I walked my mum to the taxi stand and left her to meet the boys as today was Rhys's birthday.

We walked over to 'Cineleisure' with the thought of watching a movie. What movie ? We had no idea. When we got there, pretty much everything was sold out, otherwise the timing was dire. In the end, we settled for 'Puss in boots' in 3D. We had just about an hour to have dinner. We crossed over to 'The coffee connection'. Everyone had a main course, but because of my heavy lunch, I just had 'quesadilla' with bolognaise. It was quite pleasant to be perfectly honest. Rushed over to buy a cup of gong-cha even though we were stupidly late for the movie. Sorry guys !

So anyways, 'Puss in boots' in 3D is totally awesome. Although we missed like the first 15 minutes of it, I don't really think we missed much. You should watch it in 3D ! It's so in your face. XD

Well, training's about to start now. Good-bye.

2011-11-25T22:46:00.028+08:00

The long awaited time for my mum's trip to Singapore has finally come ! She arrived today at 620pm. I've been excited for the longest of months as the last time I saw my mum was in May. I took a train down to Changi airport to pick her up. We then took a taxi back home which cost $32. It sure hurt my pocket !

She came home to put down her baggages and freshen up. Whilst she was freshening up, I did the unpacking for her. Well, when I say unpacking, I mean taking out all the things she bought for me ! Hahahahaha. It's like my happy time. Replenishing my stock for make-up, make-up remover, deodorant and what not.

The 4 of us then took a taxi to 'Akira', a Japanese ala-cart buffet style restaurant located at 'Link hotel'. I've been telling her about the restaurant for months now and told her that I would take her when she came, so we went. It's about $33 per person, but the food there is quite nice. We were going to take pictures, but we forgot.

Anyways, I'm so looking forward to spending this 2 weeks with my mum. Please please please make the time pass slower !

2011-11-20T23:53:00.004+08:00

The day of the A.V.A finals has finally arrived. We were all meant to meet at 1pm at 'Far east plaza' to have chicken rice, but as usual everyone was late. So we ended up having lunch with Terence. We rushed through our lunch as we were told reporting time was 130pm, and then the time kept changing and changing. Thus the waiting game again. If I remember correctly, I think we only played our first game at 245pm which was against 'MS DOT'which we didn't too badly in but still lost and ended up playing in the loser's bracket. Our next game was immediately after. It was against 'Iniquity'. Let's just not get into details, but this landed us up in 3rd place.

As if we didn't wait long enough, we had to wait till 7pm till the prize presentation. During this period, we had a million smoke breaks and dinner. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, we'll do better next time ey ?

After we collected our prize, the 5 of us quickly walked over to 'Cineleisure' to catch the 9pm timeslot of the 3D 'Immortals'. What can I say ? It was totally awesome. This is a must watch, especially in 3D.

2011-11-16T14:15:00.003+08:00

Oh dear Lord, please give me the strength to get through today and please let everything turn out fine. Thank you Lord.

2011-11-14T18:24:00.001+08:00

I stepped out onto my balcony to have a quick smoke, and I couldn't help but take a picture of the exquisite view of the sky.

2011-11-13T20:35:00.017+08:00

Today was another early start to the day. Had to wake up at 730am to prepare and get to 'Park lane' before 930am as we had our first ever 'A.V.A' competition today. The qualifiers was being held at 'Raygun'. Managed to satisfy my craving for McDonald's big breakfast as well ! We were told that reporting time was 10am, but all we did was wait and wait and wait for our first game. I think we ended up starting our first game at 130pm, and all because we didn't have any opponents, so we walked over to the next round. We didn't do too well on our first game to be honest. We almost lost it as well.

Went over to 'Sunshine plaza' to have a late lunch after our first game. I kinda miss the wanton noodles there. And when we were done, we continued to do more waiting, waiting and waiting. I think our second game started at 5ish maybe ? We didn't do to badly on our second game and it also landed us a spot in the finals next week ! Whoop, time to hardcore it up !

Well, off to make some instant noodles for baby and prepare his lunch at the same time !

2011-11-12T12:52:00.013+08:00

Darren has got his driving lesson scheduled for 11am, so I decided I'd make him some breakfast. I asked him how many french toast he would like, and blimey, he told me he would like 4 slices. What a piggy ! Oh yeah, and this time, we had it with maple syrup.

Well, off to prepare now. We've got training later !

2011-11-11T23:11:00.005+08:00

Happy 11/11/11 everyone !

2011-11-10T23:41:00.040+08:00

I had an eye appointment at 'Paragon' today at 1pm. So my grand-mother and I left earlier to have lunch. We walked one round around the basement of 'Paragon' to see what she would like to have and we ended up in a ramen restaurant. I can't really remember the name of the restaurant, but the ramen there is pretty decent. I also like the restaurant because of the fact that they serve natto with rice. Yum. It's just opposite 'Din tai fung', if you guys are interested.

We got to the clinic at 1pm sharp and told them that I had a booking under my grand-mother's name for me. But they misunderstood and thought it was my granny that had the appointment. So we ended up waiting, waiting and waiting. Finally at like 230pm they called me to this room where they checked my eyes. You know what amazes me ? The nurse told me that I had the most perfect eyesight, and that if I were a guy, I could go be a pilot. Hahahahaha ! How ? I don't really know to be honest. I've been playing pc games since the tender age of 14 and I'm still blessed with perfect eyesight. Praise the Lord ! So anyways, after about 30 minutes of checking, we still had to wait to meet Dr Khoo. Think we only got to see him at like 430pm ? Talked to him for that short little while and then when we were done, we still had to wait to make payment. Oh my days, all this waiting made me so tired ! Alastair came to meet me whilst we were about to make payment. Finally left the clinic at 530pm. Gosh.

Asked my grand-mother if she wanted to have dinner together, but she said she wasn't hungry. So Alastair and I made our way to Cineleisure. Again, we spontaneously bought tickets to a film called "11/11/11". We had no idea what it was about. We could only tell it was a horror flick of some kind by looking at the poster. But before that, we had a quick dinner downstairs at 'Shokudu' as he was craving for rosti.

Okay, so please do not waste your money on watching '11/11/11'. You know how easy I am with films right ? I pretty much like most of the films that I watch except for them war flicks, but this was just crap, ultimate crap. What a waste of money and time !

2011-11-07T14:35:00.016+08:00

Happy Hari Raya !

Well, it was yesterday really, but because yesterday was a Sunday, it's a public holiday today ! And can you guess how we spent it ? We were at Mbox training AVA.

After training, baby went to buy tickets for '2359' as I have been wanting to watch it for ages. I quite liked it actually. It wasn't amazingly scary or anything like that, but the humour was great ! The way they played with the words and all. It sure made the audience laugh. The only disappointing thing was that the duration was way too short. It was only 76 minutes long. But thank you baby !

2011-11-06T22:25:00.025+08:00

Oh dear, I can see myself putting on the pounds in time to come. My appetite has more or less come back now and I can't seem to stop munching. We had steamboat earlier with Rhys & Terence at home. We spilt the cost between 3 and it only came up to $10 per person. I think I have become a pro super marketer Aunty. And we all ate till we were bloated ! Not bad ey ? We had beef, pork, fried fishballs, meat balls, mushroom, cabbage, pak choi, crab sticks, hot dog and tofu. I apologise for the lack of picture though. I even laid out everything nicely onto the individual plates so that it would be picture perfect, but I actually forgot. I must be getting old.

After clearing up, the boys and I played a little bit of bowling on the Wii. It was actually quite fun. We must do it again sometime.

At about 1030pm we brought Tarou-chan down for a walk whilst we walked them 2 to the train station at the same time. And also, to burn off a little bit of dinner !

2011-11-05T23:24:00.040+08:00

I only have 3 words to describe today. First word is OH, the second MY and the third GOSH.

I actually had to wake up at 530am today as we had our 'Final theory lessons' which started at 730am. We tried earlier in the week to get back to back sessions at a later timing, but was only left with this slots for the remaining month. So in other words, we had no choice. Our first lesson ended at 910am and the next lesson was at 1130am. We burned the 2 hours at McDonald's. The second lesson ended at 110pm. At last, we have got the theory lessons out of the way !

Our next destination was Mbox. We took a train from Bukit Gombak and slept in it for an hour ? We had lunch at Astons and then went for training. We decided halfway through training that we'd go watch 'Tower heist' at Iluma. So we walked over at about 845pm to purchase the tickets. We walked around the mall as we had time to spare before it started. Came across 'Yujin' toy capsule machines at level three. Spent $2 because I wanted the 'Stitch' ring, but got 'Marie' from 'Aristocats' instead. But I managed to get myself another try, thanks to Rhys who had an itchy hand and pressed on a random machine, which then dispensed $2. We were all laughing so hard and ended up with stomach cramps. My next try was 'Dumbo'. Oh well, better luck next time.

'Tower heist' was awesome ! The 4 of us totally loved it, whilst Darien actually found it boring. Perhaps there was way too much talking for him. But honestly, it was hilarious.

2011-11-03T23:34:00.029+08:00

Happy 3rd monthsary baby ! ♥

Blimey, these 3 months have gone past so quickly ! I thank God every day for letting me find the love of my life. You've been really patient with me, you shower me with your constant love and been treating me like a princess. What more can I ask for ? You're everything I wanted.

So today, we went to 'Waraku' at 'Heeren' to celebrate 3 months of being together. I had my favorite 'Natto soba' and baby had 'Kastu-kare udon'. We also had 'potato-mentai' and 'tempura'. Although I strongly advised baby to skip the 'tempura' because I knew it would aggravate his itch on his arms. But since he really really loves his 'tempura', I thought I shan't be a sour lemon and let him order it.

We took a stroll along Orchard road after dinner as we had some spare time before our movie. Bought ourselves gong-cha before the movie started. We watched a really awesome movie, 'In time'. It had Justin Timberlake & Amanda Seyfried starring as the lead roles. I really liked the concept and story line. What a fresh idea ! I shan't say anymore, go watch it already !!

2011-11-02T22:57:00.027+08:00

Last night, Darren tried on the 2 shirts I bought him and boy did he look good in the 'S'. But unfortunately, he was swimming in the medium size. So I called Alastair, and asked if he would accompany me to buy a few more and change the size at the same time. But before that, my granny and I took a cab down to 'Saint Mary's of the Angels' to visit my uncle's niche as today is 'All souls day'. Used the app 'gothere' on my iPhone to get to 'Choa chu kang' where I was meeting Alastair. We then took 190, which was surprisingly fast to 'Far east plaza'. It was about 4pm by then and both of us haven't had lunch, so we ended up eating chicken rice which is at the 5th floor. He then bought avocado milkshake and has now successfully made me addicted to it. It's all your fault ! We then made our way to 'Ion' and spent a good 2 hours in there trying to find colors and sizes again. It would have been so much easier if baby was a size M. There were a million colors in M and close to none in S. But still, I managed to buy another 4 pieces. We then walked over to 313 to see if there were anymore colors to swap. Oh yes, and those shoes that I tried on yesterday, I just knew I had to get my hands on them somehow. So we visisted the outlet there as well. They didn't even have the color I wanted there, but I did ask the lady the same question. She checked and then said they were available at the 'Marina bay sands' outlet. I immediately asked her to put it on reserve ! We were at a loss of what we were going to do next, so I suggested watching 'What's your number?' which turned out to be pretty good. Although, I'm still cracking up because when we were trying to purchase the movie tickets, I just walked up to the bloke in the counter and said "Hi, what's your number ?" and he gave me this really stunned look and went "huh ?". Hahahahaha.

The movie ended at 930pm, and 'Pedro' closes at 10pm. So we legged it out of the cinema and boarded a taxi. Phew, we made it in time. I am now a happy girl. :D Honestly, thank you Alastair, you're a true brother !

2011-11-01T22:30:00.040+08:00

Oh dear Lord, thank you so much for letting me pass my 'Basic theory test' with flying colors today ! I'm well chuffed ! I finally have my provisional driving license ! Now I feel like I'm going to be sick over my 'Final theory test'. Oh wells, lessons on the road soon ! One step at a time ey ?

I was done with my test at about 1230pm and called Alastair to see if he wanted to meet up and he agreed. Took a train to Yew tee and we continued on to Dhoby Ghaut. Had lunch at my favorite noodle place at Plaza Singapura. I don't even know why I'm in love with their spicy diced pork noodles ( face palms ). It was raining when we were done with lunch, so we took a train down to Somerset. We then decided that we'd go watch a movie. We couldn't decide what to watch and whilst taking the escalator up, we saw this poster 'Blood creek'. Without even knowing what it was about, we just bought tickets for it. It wasn't too bad to be honest. It had an insteresting storyline to it, and it kept us excited throughout. It's kind of like a mixture between a horror and a thriller.

As it was only half past five when we were done with the movie, we decided to go window shopping. We walked over to 'Ion' where we met up with Alastair's friend, Cheryl. But before she came, we went intp 'Pedro'. This beautiful pair of shoes caught my eye and I tried in on. Then when I asked for a new pair, I was told that the only pair of 36 was the display pair. I then asked if any of the outlets had a new pair and was told that the other outlets only had the display pair as well. Sigh. Walked around for a bit after and there was these jackets that were being displayed at 'Uniqlo' which caught my eyes. I tried on some of the jackets, which were by the way dead comfortable, but decided that none of the colors suited me. We then walked downstairs where the men section was at. Saw some awesome colored checkered tops and thought Darren would look good in them. Oh boy, spent at least an hour in there trying to find colors and sizes. I ended up buying 2 shirts, one in S and one in M. By then it was dinner time, and Alastair was craving for 'Hand-burgers' which was located at '313'. But before dinner, we dropped by the 'Uniqlo' outlet where we spent another hour. Sorry guys. :x

Whoa, tired now. Had an awesome day. Thanks for the company bro ! XD

2011-10-30T23:49:00.020+08:00

It's really sad knowing that a place I used to call home will no longer be there. Well, not exactly. They'll be moving from the seventh floor to the third. But it's just not the same if you get me. So to celebrate the 2 and a half good years that we had there, Nana organized a farewell party and invited all the past and present staff. They showed pictures from the beginning of Colosseum till the end. And a few of the senior personnels, including Dan & Aj gave touching speeches.

And at the same time, we had a celebration for the upcoming November babies.

And lastly, my baby and I.

2011-10-29T11:22:00.007+08:00

Every weekday morning, I'd make baby a cup of coffee and a plain sandwich. So today, seeing as I had a little more time for preparation, I decided that I'd attempt to make some french toast with a little help from my mother. She whatsapped me the ingredients the previous night. Sankyuu mama !

Oh yes, and seeing as I didn't have any maple syrup at home, so we just made do with sugar instead !

2011-10-26T22:45:00.031+08:00

Happy deepavali everyone!

Baby and I had a nice chill out day at home seeing as today was a public holiday. We were expecting Edwin, Jiaqi & Terence to come over for steamboat, but Jiaqi had a family dinner to attend so it was cancelled. Darren & I ended up playing A.V.A against bots and managed to get owned on easy mode. Hahahaha !

For dinner, I cooked sukiyaki. It was a little bit different though, as normally a traditional sukiyaki would only have beef slices but I added pork slices as well. Added some tofu, pak choi and some golden shrooms. It was my first time cooking this and the sukiyaki sauce was homemade, so I can only hope that Darren liked it as much as I did !

And as if we weren't bloated enough, we continued pigging out by having glutinous rice balls cooked with sugar water. I had 3, but baby on the other hand had 5. I can't believe he actually asked me if there was any left after eating 5 balls !

2011-10-25T18:25:00.005+08:00

I baked some cookies today and I attempted to make a cute little heart shaped cookie for Darren !

2011-10-23T22:45:00.002+08:00

Oh man, what a horrible day today was. After our movie marathon last night which ended at 4am, I had to wake up at 7am. Dragged myself to the toilet and showered in cold water to wake myself up. Terence woke up next and showered. And the 2 piggies woke up an hour later and got ready. We left the house at 830am. We decided that it'd be quicker to bus it to Dhoby Ghaut and take the train from there. Arrived at Hougang at 930am and was told no one was there yet. So we had breakfast at the coffee shop.

The first game started at 10am. The first game was alright, nothing fancy, but they won. Then came the second game against 'Xelis', who consisted of 3 really really young boys, which was painful to watch. They eventually won which meant that teamMVP goes to the loser brackets. But despite that, everyone just cheered them on and told them to fight back. Same again, their first game in the loser's bracket was awesome, but finally they got kicked out by Indian88's team. But nice try anyways ey guys ? Congratulations to Team.Parallax who managed to get 1st place, and then Sapiyo's team for winning 2nd place and Burger's team for getting 3rd placing.

After the event, we decided to go home. I then thought of cooking dinner to cheer baby up, but didn't know what to cook. So I asked him if he was craving for anything, he told me he wanted kare rice but with chicken. This is the first time cooking it with chicken, but it wasn't too bad.

So anyways, after dinner I wanted to bake some cookies for baby, but he told me to just rest and do it another day. I ended up watching the soccer game with him. And as if his day wasn't bad enough, the final score of Manchester United vs Manchester City was 1-6. Even I was in shock. Oh wells, tomorrow will be a brighter day for baby. Good night world.

2011-10-22T23:39:00.001+08:00

Whoa, what a day ! I swear we spent at least 3 hours total on travelling time today. It rinsed the credit I had in my Ez-link card as well. So anyways, here's how our day went. I woke up at 11am to prepare and then woke baby up shortly after. Left the house at 1230pm and bus-sed it to Dhoby Ghaut where we met up with Darien & Terence. Remember the noodle place at the basement of Plaza Singapura I mentioned in my previous post ? I was craving for that, so that was where we went for lunch. And guess what ? They had the spicy diced pork noodles today. Yum, I could so eat another bowl right now. Hint hint baby !

Trained it to Hougang which took about 30 minutes and then took bus 325 to the venue. We arrived a little bit after 330pm. And apparently, because we were like 10 minutes late, they had to wait 40 minutes for their game. So anyways, Day 1 went well, they qualified for tomorrow. We decided that we were going to watch 'Real Steel' earlier on, but there were almost fully booked at all the cinemas we checked. So we ended up bus-sing it to Down town east where we watched 'Paranormal Activity 3'. This bus journey took 45 minutes so we quickly ran up to buy the tickets and had a quick dinner at 'Mister chicken rice' which by the way didn't taste very nice. And they have this dumb policy where you can't request for thigh or drumstick and they cost a little more than normal. I ain't eating there ever again, that's for sure.

Missed like the first 5 minutes of the film, which didn't really matter to be honest. But my oh my, this was definitely worth the wait. I really liked 'Paranormal Activity 1 & 2', but this just beat the first two hands down. The shock factor, the storyline and everything else was perfect and it wasn't predictable like the rest of them horror flicks. Awesome, just pure awesomeness. Please please please don't wait to watch this online, this is one of them films where you just have to watch in a cinema. The only disappointing factor in the movie is that it's too short. It only lasted for an hour and thirty minutes.

So anyways, after the movie Rhys decided that he was too scared to sleep alone after watching this and asked if he could stay over at my place along with Terence. So we dropped by his place so that he could get a change of clothes. Oh my days, yet another 45 minutes was spent on this bus ride. And then another 40 minutes odd for the train ride from Bedok to Queenstown. Now you get why I've been moaning on travelling time today ? My butt's all sore from all that travelling !

Well, so we finally got home at 11ish. Everyone took a shower and now we smell nice and clean, so 'Paranormal Activity 1 & 2', here we come !

2011-10-19T22:58:00.018+08:00

So I've been cooking packed lunches for baby almost everyday. My repertoire ain't that many though, mostly just fried rice, fried bee hoon and pasta. Now I know what kind of a headache my mum must have had just by thinking of what to cook everyday. I'm so afraid that my cooking ain't up to standard for baby or like whether he gets bored of eating the same few repertoire all the time. So today, I decided to be brave and try to cook claypot chicken rice. Got some help from my mum over the phone. It was pretty easy to cook just like my mum said. Twas ready in 10 minutes ! And guess what ? Darren's in love with it ! :D

2011-10-16T23:55:00.000+08:00

Boy oh boy, I should really stop watching them Korean dramas. In almost every single one of them dramas, they definitely have a 'eating of ramyun' scene which then makes me crave for Korean style noodles. So today, I dinner was decided. Seeing as I don't know where to buy freshly made Korean ramen, I just used the instant noodles by 'Nong shim'. We watched 'Thor' before we went down to the supermarket to get the ingredients. Then we came back up and watched 'Kungfu panda 2'. Halfway through, Terence texted Darren to say that he got conned of going all the way to Buona Vista and asked he if could dropped by. Luckily, we bought enough to feed 3 people. Started cooking at 6pm and whilst I was cooking they were playing on the wii.

Finished cooking an hour later. I know it may seem absurd that it'd take an hour to cook instant noodles, but it did. Served up, and we had our dinner at 7pm. Both of them said it was super delicious, although I believe both of them was just trying to be polite ! Hahahaha, but hey, I quite liked it. Yum.

After dinner, we continued playing on the wii. Played some raving rabbits which led to having disabled arms. After about an hour, we switched to wii sports and got stuck on bowling. We just kept playing and playing for hours. Each time Terence says last game, Darren would convince him that the next would be the last. It was hilarious. Baby got so carried away that even after Terence left at 10pm and I fell asleep on the couch, was still bowling by himself. I was shocked when he woke me up at 11.40pm What a wii-tastic day !

At the amount I've been cooking, I reckon I can start a food blog with recipes soon enough !

2011-10-14T23:11:00.040+08:00

So after 2 weeks of planning for Darren & David's surprise birthday party, today finally came. It was really hard planning the guest list, getting confirmation, ordering catering, so on and so forth. I really couldn't have done it without the planning commitee ( Jiaqi, Darien & Terence ). Thank you so much guys.

Met up with Jiaqi, Darien and Rhys today at 430pm at Bugis to get the cake and decoration. Cabbed over to Jiaqi's place as she forgot to bring the presents along and then cabbed back to mine. Whilst we were walking to the supermarket to get the drinks, we bumped into Dolly, Ah Teck, Ah Hock & Burger. We were surprised to see them as they were an hour early. Went back up and the boys put up the decorations. Terence, who was the main actor for the day to pull both Darren & David back to my place did a very good job ! Thank you bro for your amazing effort !

By 730pm, everyone was there. We were just waiting for the 3 of them to arrive. Terence said he'd give me a miss call before they entered the lift, but failed because of the lack of reception. So we all shat our pants when we heard the gate unlocking. We all just ran and stood by the doorway and as the Darren opened the door, we all just shouted "Surprise !". Darren had a shocked face which was hilarious, whereas David just kept on his stupid cool face. Hahahaha.

We started eating at 8pm and by the time we were done, there was still so much food left. Lesson learnt from Dolly. Bobo and I ordered 2 pax more because we were afraid there would be a shortage of food, but apparently we should have ordered lesser. Oh wells, there's a first time for everything ey ?

I really hope Darren & David had a great time and I hope they both are happy with their presents. Thank you for everyone who came ! Hope ya'll had a great time too !

Well, going out for a short chilling session now, but before I go, here are some of the pictures from earlier.

2011-10-12T23:25:00.041+08:00

Happy birthday baby ! ♥

So last night, I decided it would be fun to prank Darren. In the afternoon, I was searching for plastic bags and I stumbled acrossed 2 of my minature soft toys. I decided to put them into a plastic bag so they would not get dirty and them wrap it twice with newspaper. I did this to make him think this was his present. I placed it on his desk whilst he was in the shower. When he came out, he got all excited saying "Eh b, no need waste money la, why you buy ?". He got through one newspaper, and kept asking "What is it ? A pillow ?" and I just kept telling him to open it. When he got through the second wrapping, he saw the plastic bag and quickly unties it. The disappointment on his face was hilarious ! I asked him what was wrong and he said "Erm, why you buy this ?" and I quickly replied, "Minnie mouse is me and Mickey mouse is you, not cute meh ?". Hahahaha, then I told him this was a prank and whipped out his real present. I told him he had to go through the different sizes of bags. A stupidly huge porter carrier bag, followed by a medium porter carrier bag, a small porter carrier bag, then some random clothes carrier bag, ziploc, watsons plastic bag, 2 newspaper wrapping, ntuc plastic bag and finally he got to the Louis Vuitton carrier bag and with a really shocked face, he glances over to me with his mouth dropping all the way to the floor. I just replied, it's only a Louis Vuitton carrier bag ! But when he took out the box, he was really reluctant to accept it. I bought him a wallet from LV for his birthday. He really loves it though. I'm glad !

So anyways, after last night's pranking, came a whole morning of nervousness. I had booked a retest for my evaluation seeing as I have to pass it before the 22nd of October, otherwise my booking for my BTT for the 1st of November would be cancelled. I attended 2 practise sessions before doing my evaluation and I passed ! Hurray ! I'm glad I got that over and done with. Now I just got to wait till the 1st of November !

Took a train all the way to Tampines to find baby. It took about 1 hour from Bukit Batok. Luckily for me, Terence was off camp already, so he was able to accompany me, otherwise I would have been a lone ranger for an hour and abit till baby finished work. We walked round the 3 malls to find munchies, and we ended up with chippies. My first time trying the fish and chips from chippies. Twas rather pleasing to the taste buds ! Bought baby a cup of gong-cha as well seeing as he was king for the day ! :p

The 3 of us decided to go to Colosseum to play whilst waiting for the rest of the crew to finish their competition at SIM. Congratulations to them on winning 3rd placing ! We had a feast at the coffee shop behind Iluma. Baby ordered assam fish head curry, cereal prawns, prawn paste chicken, sambal kang kong, sweet and sour pork and prawn omelette. And times that by 2 because we had to spilt tables. And even with 12 people, there was bare left over. Silly baby, ordering so much ! He has the 'big eye, small stomach syndrome'. Hahahaha

Well, just wanted to say Happy birthday to you baby ! Love you more than anything in the world ! Hope you had a great time. :)))

2011-10-10T13:31:00.002+08:00

Happy birthday to my retarded brother David 'TriadmM' Yip ! ＼（＾∀＾）メ（＾∀＾）ノ

2011-10-08T23:46:00.001+08:00

Oh dear, failed my BTT evaluation today. Well, it's no surprise seeing as I haven't been to their practise sessions. Well, tell you how my day went anyways. We woke up at 8am. Trekked it to Bukit Gombak and then cabbed to Bukit Batok driving centre. Baby was just standing outside for the whole 45 minutes I was in there. Sad to say it was a wasted trip. That aside, we took a train down to Dover and then took bus 74 to SIM as baby wanted to enrol. Managed to bump into Jason at SIM as well.

So anyways, we took 74 back to Dover and then took 106 all the way to Dhoby Ghaut. It wasn't that bad really. Only took about 30 minutes maybe ? We then walked around Plaza Singapura to look for lunch. We ended up eating at this Chinese noodle place at basement 2. Shared a set between the both of us as we were meeting the boys for dinner. I really wanted to try their spicy minced pork noodles, but apparently that's their best seller and they ran out, so we ordered beef noodles instead. They weren't bad to be honest. It's just beside the bubble tea shop at basement 2 if you want to give it a try.

Legged it upstairs to get ourselves gong-cha and headed to Cathay where we watched 'Friends with benefit'. It was truly enjoyable. Baby and I were laughing all the way. And my oh my is Mila Kunis hot or what ?

So anyways, we walked over to Bugis Junction to meet Darien, David and Terence for dinner over at Seoul garden. I swear the last time I stepped into Seoul garden was when I was 14 with my secondary school friends ? You want to know what's funny ? I was searching for a good 10 minutes high and low for pork slices, only to find out that they were halal. I was well upset when I found out there wasn't any pork for me. But oh wells, at least we had a free dinner thanks to Baby whom purchased these vouchers at $6 each back in his NS days. Although, all I really ate was the yong tau foo they had.

After dinner, we headed over to Colosseum where they had their training. I just realised that the only time I play blackshot now is when they're having trainings. Where did my passion go ?

2011-10-04T23:54:00.025+08:00

So I met up with Jiaqi, Darien & Rhys today to walk the streets of Orchard road. Today's mission ? Well, I can't say. We met up at 2pm at Ion and had 4 fingers for lunch. We took a slow stroll to Pan pacific plaza after that. Then we headed to Paragon for mission 1. We rewarded ourselves with a cup of gong-cha each. After resting on the benches of the smoking corner of Cineleisure, we continued with mission 2 which involved us walking into various malls. After hours of searching, we all came to a unanimous decision that we'd go back to Pan pacific plaza to complete mission 2.

By then, it was already 7pm. We met up with Edwin for dinner. He brought us to 'Sun with Moon'. The food there is amazingly good. Thanks for dinner Buddy !

After dinner, we walked over to Cineleisure where we watched Abduction. What a kick ass movie ! It was exciting the whole way through. Awesome action as well ! It's a movie you must not miss !

2011-10-03T08:28:00.002+08:00

Happy 2nd monthsary baby ! ♥

2011-10-01T21:32:00.000+08:00

So as usual, baby woke up 5pm ( this has been going on for several Saturdays in a row now ). Only managed to get to the supermarket at 630pm because 5pm was his waking up time, 6pm was his getting out of bed time. I think I found myself a pig instead of a boyfriend ? Hmmmmm.. got to check that out.

Anyways, got back about 30 minutes later with 4 bags. Bought ingredients to bake chocolate chip cookies. I had like the whole afternoon to think about what to cook for him, and my mum gave me the idea of her oyster sauce chicken, so chicken leg we bought and you can't have meat without vegetables can you ? That's where the asparagus comes in. Also, I have been wanting to try and cook butter rice !

I was trying to bake cookies with Darren and cook dinner at the same time. It was stressing me out. What have I learnt from today ? I cannot multi-task. :p Although, I must say I did have fun baking with baby !

2011-09-29T20:58:00.017+08:00

So today I made 'ondeh ondeh' from scratch and it turn out alright. Well, they would have come out perfect if not for my grand-mother. She was rushing to cook dinner for Darren and I as she had to attend a church meeting. Halfway through playing with the dough, my grand-mother decides to add more water but she added way too much and the dough became way too sticky. Adding more flour to it didn't really help either but I still continued anyway. I was struggling to mould them into round balls as they kept sticking to my hands. And even after moulding them, they stuck to the plates. But hey, they didn't turn out too bad ! Baby seemed to like them as well. I've packed some for him to bring to work tomorrow. I'm well proud of myself to be honest !

2011-09-25T22:50:00.008+08:00

Happy birthday Jiaqi ! ♥

Yay ! Jiaqi has turned 21 ! She celebrated her birthday with us by having a BBQ down at East coast park yesterday. I met Rhys at Bugis mrt station at 6pm and only got on the train to Tampines at 650pm. I had planned earlier to surprise baby with a cup of gong-cha and failed but hey, shit happens ey ? So anyways, we went to buy a birthday cake for Jiaqi and then cabbed over to East coast park. We dropped off at MacDonald's as we were told the pit was nearby, but we ended up walking down for at least 10 minutes ? But it doesn't really matter as we were entertained the whole walk by Rhys's boo boo. I shall not embarrass him here.

David was the chef for the night. Awesome cook he is ! At 9pm, I asked Darien if he had given Jiaqi her present and he said no. I quickly told him to whip it out in case she gets drunk and forgets. Her reaction was priceless. She kept laughing and laughing and the cutest part was that it sounded like she was having an asthma attack. Then Rhys's said "hurry cake now", so quickly we got Darien to distract her whilst we ran behind the pit to light the candles, which by the way failed miserably. In the end, we started singing happy birthday with the candles unlit and walked towards her. Lit the candles and she had approximately 2 seconds to blow it out. What a joke ! By then, she was crying tears of joy. Glad all her surprises turned out well except for the flippin' candles. Hope you had a fabulous time Jiaqi !

By the way, you have no idea how much acting went into this. I think it's safe to say that we are now all qualified actors/actresses. Oscar award anyone ?

2011-09-21T22:29:00.014+08:00

タロウちゃん、お誕生日おめでとう ! ♥

Happy birthday Tarou-chan ! I can't believe it's already been a year since Tarou-chan was born. Baby bought him a cake and a new toy to celebrate his birthday !

2011-09-20T21:00:00.024+08:00

I had a lovely movie date with my grand-mother today. I planned to take her out last week, but seeing as she was down with the flu, we postponed it. We went to watch the 1230pm timeslot of 'The smurfs'. I used to love watching it as a child and apparently I still like the smurfs. It was definitely worth watching in the big screen. Seeing my grand-mother laughing away happily made my day too ! What a smurfing good movie !

After the movie, we took a slow walk around basement 2 of Plaza Singapura. We ended up eating 4 sticks of pork bulgogi, ambon & pulut udang. I felt as though I've put on 5kg instantly, including the popcorn we had earlier. Walked past this bakery and saw that they sold durian crepe. Bought a packet of it seeing as she loves durians but are forbidden to eat them at home.

What a smurftastic day !

2011-09-18T20:51:00.013+08:00

After 3 months, SCEL has finally come to an end. Congratulations to Team.Rejects, followed by Team.MVP and then MVP.Krome. Oh yes, I played for Team.ICU and we came in 5th place and got rewarded with a razer keyboard bag which I then exchanged with Jeremy for a sling bag instead.

2011-09-17T21:36:00.000+08:00

Wow, I'm amazed with myself. I just somehow woke up at 945am and couldn't get back to sleep. I managed to play my facebook games and then some blackshot, did the laundry along with some housework, but baby on the other hand..... He was dead tired and only got up at 5pm. I don't blame he though, he was catching up on a whole week of sleep. My poor little baby.

Anyways, I promised baby that I would cook him omu-rice soon and was planning to do it today. But I had a sudden craving for steamboat. So this is what I told Darren, "We'll go to the supermarket downstairs, if there isn't much for steamboat then I'll cook you omu-rice". You know what was the reply I got from that cheeky bum ? "Okay, then I hope there's nothing for steamboat" followed by a cheeky grin !

So we went down at half 6 to do some grocery shopping. We picked up some sliced beef and pork, luncheon meat, hotdogs, chinese cabbage, pak choi, tau kwa pok, mixed shrooms, crabsticks and shrimp wontons. Oh yes, not forgetting the chicken broth for the soup as well. We spent about $38. Not bad ey ?

Thanks baby. I know how sick you are of steamboat at the moment, but you still ate it ! Hahahaha. At least Tarou-chan enjoyed it though. XD

2011-09-15T23:36:00.034+08:00

Whoa, it's been 2 years since you left us but I just wanted to let you know that you are still being deeply missed by all of us.

So we took a taxi down to Saint Mary of the Angels where kuku is. Such a lovely church, pity it's so far away though. So anyways, after we were done, we took a long bus ride back to Holland village where we then changed another bus to get to Queenstown mrt and then I continued on to Bugis. See what I mean when I say it's far ? Terence and Rhys was there waiting for me, sorry I was late guys ! We then went to Mbox to play. Darren, Jiaqi and Darien came shortly after and we went to have dinner. Guess what we had ? Another mini feast. We had assam fish head curry, sweet and sour pork, prawn paste chicken and hot plate tofu. Yes, we've become a little bit wiser in relation to over ordering. After filling our tummys, we took a stroll to Cathay where we met up with the rest.

I've been waiting months to watch Johnny English reborn ! And finally got to do so with 12 other people today ! Hahahahaha. We all had such a good laugh, although baby was next level tired and dozed off for a little bit. Luckily he didn't miss much. If you haven't seen it, I urge you to ! This is a movie not to be missed.

2011-09-13T23:18:00.000+08:00

So today I finally got to watch the movie - 'Crazy Stupid Love' accompanied by baby, Xobi, Loykee and Burger. Oh and I should really stop calling them by their aliases as well huh ? Anyways, we caught the 715pm timeslot. I smuggled in a cup of gong-cha that baby surprised me with as well ! Thank you baby, you're always spoiling me ! I thought the movie was great, laughing through most of it. I liked how random the movie was as well. But baby thought it went on for a little too long. Not really a must watch, but hey, if you have 118 minutes to burn, why not ey ?

Movie ended at 9-ish. After much discussion as to where we should eat, we finally settled for the coffee shop behind Iluma. I swear the amount we ordered was enough to feed x2 of the 5 of us. Loykee ordered fish head curry, sweet and sour pork, baby kailan, hotplate tofu and prawn paste chicken. And the excuse for ordering so much - "We're celebrating Darren's first day of work". Hahahahaha, remember yesterday's feast ? That was - "We're celebrating Darren's last day of freedom". Loykee, you crack me up man bro. So like, when the food was served, we just stared at it for 30 seconds and thought, shit we're never going to be able to finish all this food ! But honestly, we came pretty close. At the end of it, only the gravy of the curry fish head and some veggies were left unfinished ! Not bad ey ?

Alright, I think it's time to go on a diet before I end up looking like.... yeah, let's not even go there.

2011-09-12T23:32:00.000+08:00

Oh my days. Darren & I just suffered 2 sessions which consisted of 100 minutes each for our 'Basic Theory' for driving. They made it compulsory to attend 2 lessons before you can take your 'Basic theory test'. We already dreaded today so badly, and to add to the misery, we got humiliated ! Well, you see. We were running late, and took a cab. By the time baby got to me, it was already 1120am. Our class was for 1130am. Got there at 1145am and he created such a big scene. That aside, the class carried on. 30 minutes later, we almost got humiliated one more time thanks to baby. He was using his mobile when the instructor decides to walk forward and ask Darren a question. At this point of time, I just thought to myself - ROUND 2. But thankfully, nothing happened. ._________________.'

The first session finished at about 1pm. Accompanied baby to go renew his provisional driving license. The wait was about 30 minutes after baby took his queue number. Awesome luck we have. Then we decided that we'd just lunch at the canteen downstairs. Baby is easy with his food, so he knew what he wanted. Me on the other hand took ages and finally settled for mee soto. Please do not eat this if you ever decide to lunch at the canteen of Bukit batok driving centre. It's like she put noodles into water with a little bit of salt. That's how bad it was. Oh yes, and the yong tau foo stall beside it, dropped some chilli's onto the floor and decides not to wash it and continue cutting them. Gross.

Next class commenced at 315pm. This time the instructor was funny, but it still didn't changed the fact that we had to sit through it for another 100 minutes. But thankfully, time went by quickly and we made it through 2 sessions ! 2 down, 2 to go !

As soon as the lesson finished, we legged it to the bus-stop and I swear we went the wrong way and ended up at Choa chu kang. Got on the train there and was headed to Eunos. Reason ? We were told that we had to terminate our accounts with Comfortdelgro driving centre before we could take our test. Finally arrived at half past 6. You know what though ? The lady who served us told us it wasn't necessary to terminate the accounts as we had no money in there. But we managed to convince her to do so as we were told to.

Bussed it to Bedok interchange to buy gong-cha. Thank you baby ! Then we walked over to meet Loykee, Xobi, Burger & Terence for dinner. We all ate till we felt ill to be honest. We ordered stingray, la-la, sambal kangkong and mince meat noodle.

Anyways, it's baby first day at work tomorrow. Ganbatte ne~

2011-09-11T22:18:00.026+08:00

Thank God we didn't have to wake up at stupid AM again today. We both slept till about 4 in the afternoon. Boy did it feel good. Although, I must admit that I was still feeling kind of tired even after 12 hours of sleep. I guess I was that deprived of sleep for the past few days.

I was playing facebook games for a little while and when I turned my head, I saw baby fast asleep. Yes, he's even more of a pig then I am. So this was when I decided I'd surprise him by cooking him nikujaga. I was quite terrified of the outcome seeing as this was my 1st attempt at it. And things definitely didn't look good half way through. Thankfully I managed to save our dinner ! Started cooking at 7pm and only finished at 9pm. Yes, I'm a slow-poke.

Again, I couldn't really tell whether he was being honest. His first reaction when I showed him what the pot contained was a disgusted face ( because of the veggie ), but when he smelt it, he hurried me to serve dinner. When he started munching, he kept telling me how delicious it was. But I always just think he's just trying to make me happy. But but but, I finally believed him as he just walloped the whole bowl ! He really liked it ! Yay, mission sucess !

2011-09-10T23:56:00.006+08:00

WCG : Day 2.

As if yesterday's 830am wake up wasn't early enough, today we were made to wake up at 7am. FANFUCKINGTASTIC. Baby left for home to get a change of clothes and I went to take a shower, only I didn't shower. I ended up sleeping on the toilet bowl for another 20 minutes or so. So guess what ? Spent $20 on taxi fare just to get there for 930am which the organizers said to the day before and the doors weren't even open. And just to rub salt to the wound, they only opened the doors to the hall at 1030am !!!

Semi finals : TeamMVP.G1 vs TeamMVP.Krome / Casi vs Rejects.Quantum. I absolutely hate it when 2 teams from the same clan play against each other, but hey, what can we do ey ? Just give our support to both. The semi finals were again played on the stage. Love it when they play on the stage. The feeling is completely different ! After battling it out, TeamMVP.G1 won, but nonetheless, well played TeamMVP.Krome. You guys did well !

Walked over to the next hall where Texas chicken was located for lunch. Frankly speaking, I'd still choose Kentucky fried chick over Texas chicken anyday. Guess what we did after lunch ? Yes, the waiting game. We waited, and waited and waited for the finals. My poor ass was so sore from all the sitting down and not to mention my poor lungs over exercising from the excessive smoking.

Finals : TeamMVP.G1 vs Casi. I felt so nervous for baby as they walked up the stage. I knew how badly baby wanted this title. As soon as the game started, my fingers, my toes, my arms and my legs were all tightly crossed ! And we all cheered as loud as we could to boost their motivation even more ! I'm not sure of the final scores for both TFM & SD, but the opponents definitely got rinsed.

WCG CHAMPIONS 2011, CONGRATULATIONS TeamMVP.G1 !

By the time we left Expo, it was already 8-ish. Guess what we did to celebrate ? Yes, steamboat ! All because I kept annoying David by repeating "I want to eat steamboat" for the past 2 days ! -Giggles- Thank you BFF ! XD My tummy felt like exploding as soon as we were done with dinner, but I still managed to force down 2 bowls of ice-cream. I'm just that awesome. We all went to watch 'Contagion' at 1130pm. I was dead tired, and couldn't force my eye open for any longer and just kept dozing off. Luckily, the show still made sense to me ! Can't say the same for Junhong though, whose eyes were shut for half the film.

2011-09-09T23:52:00.002+08:00

WCG : Day 1.

Blimey, what a long day today has been. It's day 1 out of 3 for TGX ( The Games Xpo ) which is also WCG ( World Cyber Games ).

We both got up at 830am. As soon as baby went home to get a change of clothes, I went to get ready. We were both like the zombies in the television series, 'The walking dead'. Going to sleep at 4am the previous night really didn't help either. Trained it down to Singapore Expo. Thankfully, we managed to get seats for the whole journey. Got there at half past 10. Met up with the rest and had breakfast outside the hall. TeamMVP went and registered themselves and guess what ? Their first game didn't start till nearly 2pm when they were told to get their asses down by half past 10. But hey, what's new ey ? I'm sure every single competitive gamer out there has experienced the waiting game. So moving on swiftly, Elite group which is 1 out of the 4 Malaysia teams, withdrew from WCG, which meant that Group A was only left with 2 matches each instead of the 3. Meaning that their group would finish earlier right ? Well, you're wrong. It just meant we had to rot there longer. As I mentioned earlier, their first game took place at nearly 2pm against 'Isle'. Oh yes, and I didn't say why the major delay right ? It's all because of the laptop Benny was assigned to. As soon as he clicked on a programme, it would just hang. Awesomeness. Whilst waiting for the next game, we lunched at Burger King. Boy did that mushroom swiss taste great or what ? Haven't had that for a long time. This used to be our ( my mum and I ) favorite.

Match 2 : Rejects.Quantum. This took place roughly 2 hours and abit after their first match. It was pretty exciting seeing as this was a stage match. You could hear all the supporters cheering and clapping. And not to mention, I could see my kawaii baby's head bobbing up and down taking a sneak peak at me. （‐＾▽＾‐）

If you thought that this was the end of day 1, guess again. We ended up walking around, sitting down and oh yes, not to forget, the chain smoking. We just wasted about and estimated 4 hours of our lives because they wanted to push the quarter-finals for the same day. The draws were done and everyone was good to go. TeamMVP.G1 played against Rebel and TeamMVP.Krome played against XaL. The last match didn't finish till almost half past 11, which means that we only got home at nearly 1. One word : KNACKERED.

Well, I'd say today went pretty well as baby won all their matches and I also bumped into many friends whom I haven't seen in ages.

Here are some of the pictures from today :

So after yesterday's upset, baby accompanied me to Bukit batok driving centre to sign up with the school there. Yes, that's right, the school. I've decided that it'll make things a whole lot easier as everything is provided. The part that sucks ? Money. That aside, guess what ? Baby decided to sign up with me as well. So as of today, the 8th of September, we are both students of BBDC.

Fanfuckingtastic Liana, thinking that the 7th of September was a freaking Thursday, now you've missed your BTT and have to wait another 2 months.

Knackered, knackered, knackered ! I knew that I would have to wake up at 9am to get ready to accompany baby to run some errands and his interview later on in the afternoon. But despite trying to sleep at 430am, I only ended up tossing and turning for another hour before falling asleep, thanks to our awesome sleeping patterns. Baby came to get me at 11am and then we bus-sed it to Far east plaza to get his trousers altered. Whilst waiting, we had the awesome chicken rice I used to frequent when I was in secondary school. We then headed to Wisma atria to get him a pair of black leather shoes. We then rushed down to Tampines where his interview with Singtel was. Fingers crossed that everything went well, and we'll be waiting for the good news.

Headed over to Cineleisure afterwards to meet Xobi, Junhong & Renata to watch 'The cat'. It was quite a good horror movie if you ask me. I was hoping for a little bit more scare factor just so I could get a heart attack, but I did jump quite a few times and ended up being laughed at by Darren. But I'm sure of one thing, I ain't getting a cat ever again in this life. I've now been officially traumatized by this movie. Oh yes, I got to buy Gong-cha today, so this had made me a happy girl !

Met Kaixiang and Loykee for dinner at Kallang as I was craving for Kallang western the night before. Instead of having chicken chop like I usually do, I ordered the breakfast set. It reminds me of England where they have the full english breakfast. Yum. The boys had their usual 'Lao Ban' beancurd.

Mmmmmmmmm, I'm still craving for gong-cha right this moment.

Happy 1st monthsary baby ! ♥

Whoa, a month has gone past in a blink of an eye. It felt like just yesterday we had our first date yesterday to be honest.

I wanted tonight to be perfect, and it was. We planned to have a nice dinner at home and then have a movie marathon. I tried to whip up the meanest spaghetti bolognaise for Darren and almost failed miserably despite my mother's help over the telephone. I used my mother's recipe and made the bolognaise sauce from scratch ! It was such a pain in the arse to dice the onions, garlic, carrots and celery. I'm pretty certain it took me an hour just to dice those up. I'm such a tard when it comes to cooking. Why didn't I get the cooking genes from my mother and grandmother. T.T

So anyways, after 2 hours of cooking, dinner was finally ready. I was so afraid that baby wouldn't like it, but he kept saying how nice it was. But to be fair, he has such superb acting skills, qualified to be an Mediacorp actor, so even if my cooking was crap, I wouldn't know. But I'm quite proud of myself.

Anyways, I had a splendid time. I love you baby ! ⊂二二二（　^＾ω^＾）二⊃

So I had a really nice day out with my baby today. It has been a while since we had a night out on our own.

We bus-sed it down to Orchard to where courts was. See it goes like this. He promised that he'd accompany me to buy my hair straighteners a from a few days ago but was unsuccessful. So finally, today I got myself one. I really wanted 'GHDs', but in the whole of Singapore, no one carries them, so I made do with a pair from Philips.

Walked over to Heeren and had dinner at Waraku. The food was great except for the long waits. They were stupidly short staffed. It didn't help that we were rushing for time as our movie was for 945pm. I swear we had bare to eat, but when I asked Darren if he was full, his reply to me was, "not really". What have I turned my boyfriend into ? :O

By the time we were done with dinner, it was already 940pm. We took a bus down to Dhoby Ghaut and the legged it over to Cathay. Missed the first 15 minutes of the movie and both of us got really confused in the beginning as we thought we missed alot. But apparently we didn't ! It's really a show worth watching. And both my favorite boys, Louis Koo and Daniel Wu are the leading actors, what more can I ask for ?
