ok, time to blog...rounding up another week...
mon:
supposed to be working at my mom's office... but i ended up watching youtube, and talking to her staff..:)
went to IMM for japanese buffet... so yummy:):) but so filling... we sat there frm 7pm to 10pm, n when our butts left the seats, the restaurant staff all spontaneously gathered ard our table to clear the mess. we were like the 2nd last table to leave lol.. haha. but i guess we didn eat tht much, just a LOnG and SlOw dinner.. :):)
tue:
lunch at taka with rach, emmanuel, frida n pj.. i seriously cldn decide wat to eat with tht huge array of food... ended up with popiah..:)loves:) but it was ex compared to other places. n of coz i cldn pass by crystal jade bakery n not having a look. ended up with my coffee bun AGAIN:)haha.
kelvin joined us soon after lunch and we decided to go bowling at marina sq, played 2 games before kelvin had to go off to buy his hybrid car...
n kelvin was so sure of our "ability" tht he said if our scores add up to at least 150, he wld buy us the whole ZARA store.. haha... sighs.. we lived up to his "expectations".. LOL
but the scores of frida n mine cldn even add up to 100. sad case. haha.i totally suxed...
my ball kept gg down the drain. but Frida was better...
JOKE of the day: she rolled her ball so lightly she jammed the system each time and instead of 2 tries per turn, she had 4 tries per turn. the sensor cldn even sense tht she had thrown the ball and tht a few of the pints had fallen...HAHA.:) super funny...
wed:
shopping for candace's n jocelyn's prez with dora:) supposed to have sushi buffet but decided to meet jocelyn for dinner instead...
had lots to talk
dinner at ajisen ramen
had hokkaido seafood ramen:) i craved it to be much spicer though...haha.
too bad candace n munling cldn make it:(
thurs:
a nice quiet day at home:) ..............quite...
wanted to baked cookies:) so dex n i went out to chong pang to get the ingredients. being bored, we decided to walk there instead. but on the way back, my sandals tht i just bought a few days ago gave way and i had to walk bare-footed home..:( the road was so hot!! i i seriously am gg to complain! haha. they better allow me a new pair...
at least the thin butter chocolate chip cookies were yummy and cripsy cos it was thin waffle-like..:) dex wanted to bake the cookies too but he soon ran outside to play badminton leaving me sitting by the oven waiting for the cookies to be baked... sighs... n knowing me, i cldn resist the temptation to pop a few into my mouth as i waited. i think i almost ate 1/3 of the total batch of cookies.. HAHA.
the consequences: a bad sore throat now...
n HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY JOCELYN :):):) hope u are feeling better. dont be sick on yr birthday!:) n enjoy yr trip to taiwan :)
tmr:
ice skating.. cant wait... :):):)
but jurong east is so far. at least among the four of us, i am still the nearest.. hehe...
Update: in the end, the iceskating ring was closed for some asian competition so we decided to goto the ZOO! i tot the entry was quite ex, compared to ice skating, but anyways, it was more of eating & talking at KFC than enjoying the exhibits. haha. but we got to watch the feeding of the polar bears and the lions:) it was a rather hot day and all of us were yawning uncontrollably, esp ME. haha.
sat:
vivocity with mum:) shopping! already two purchases within tht short trip:)
finally met up with yirong after all these months!! tennis n gyming n catching up..haha..our sat evening work-out once more:)
BBQ dinner:) shiok..haha...
sun:
branch tim sim with michael n phyllis:) haha... crystal jade at taka!! but they didn have my radish pastry and a some others too!!! SIGHS!! i love tht!! but we got a xiao long bao (OF COZ), other different dumplings and noodles... yummy:) but we sat there really long i think. nearly 2 hrs..
jocelyn n dora is gg to be dragged by me into another yumcha session soon:):):)
supposed to be gg to bintan this weekend, but sadly, due to the moonson season my mom decided to spent the weekend in one of the resort hotels at sentosa if there are rooms available..haha..sun-tanning on the BEACH.. picnic at botanical gardens seems really inviting too!!:) just sleeping in tht lush surroundings wld be good too:)

more than a week since i came back..
i desperately need a camera here..lots of pictures i wanna take:)
been watching movies n eating lots :P
btw, all Mcdreamy fans go catch "Enchanted"..
i love tht movie... so disney and fairytale-like... happily ever after:)
the song is stuck in my head! haha...
game plan wasn tht bad too...quite touching n it wasn tht predictable:)
i cldn stand the small kid at some point though.. haha... so spoilt!!
thanks to yy, went to lau pa sat and had like chicken rice, hokkien mee, popiah, satay, carrot cake all in one serving... sighs...not forgetting PLUS desert...
anyways, i think the food cost in spore has gone up quite a lot...i sld start eating at home soon.. only had one homecooked meal since i came back...haha. but i am still sampling all the different hawker food i have been craving for 10 months!! i will slow down soon..:)
btw, i am addicted to the japanese steam cheesecake sold at many bakeries here..:) it is so soft and the cheese flavour is so subtle yet really yummy:) i love the one frm taka:) bakeries have been my new hangout... i love buns:) the only buns i got to look at in melb were frm breadtop, which didn look tht good...lol
friday night was GB farewell party for the sec four... dora n jocelyn were dragged along by me.. haha.. it was so nice to be ard the pioneer team pple (2005 grads) again:) it was a night of games, food and just having fun:) though i didn really know most of the girls there, it was really nice just to catch up with munling, ghislaine and the rest:) gerk sin, velerie n xin yan, my ex-squad leader was there too:) brought back memories of drill team days..:)of coz ms lim and ms chua cldn be left out..haha...the present GB girls look so young and energetic, it made me feel old...hehe.
if only i had a camera to take pictures. my hp camera was the only option...but i left the cable in melb! haha...
n thanks jocelyn n dora for the prez:) haha... after 9 months.. hehe... the studs were so pretty i am wearing them now:) haha.. thanks:)
i bought another korean VCD! haha...n many more i wanna own too;0
yup... been catching up with family, relatives n friends...n of coz breathing the spore air:) haha...
potluck at gongong's place was really good yesterday:) been such a long time since i saw my cousins n relatives...
i really wanted to get job here and do something useful... but i have failed terribly... knowing tht i wld be away in dec and in jan doesn make finding a job easier... sighs..picking up a course needs commitment too, something tht i cant give right now...:(:( n kat, knowing tht u are working really hard makes me even more guilty.. haha... find some time to take a break too ya?:)
at least i have been catching up on some cooking.. made lunch today frm a recipe off the magazine:) haha.. my first homemade chicken burger, spiced apple and potato meal:) cant say it was tht successful but still a step forward,:) haha. spent almost the whole morning in the kitchen.. haha.. my mom says i am so SLOW! make everyone's tummy grumbling.. haha..
News update: John Howard finally conceded defeat at the election and Kevin Rudd is the new prime minister of Australia... thanks to Frida for the update:) not as if whoever won made any
difference to me, but just hope we get concession rates for transport soon! haha.
