So Fat
So Squeaky
So Adorable

Birthday, Family. Food, Friends. Christmas, Love.

 Daddy’s Birthday - 22nd Dec

Location: Home
Cake: Bakerzin

 Cheesecake for daddy’s birthday. Daddy being the shy man, insisted on us not putting all the candles in so he can faster blow and cut cake to save himself from the singing of the birthday songs.

Didnt mange to take picture of my dad cause he complain his hair was too messy. Hoho!

Happy birthday to you dad!
I will work hard so that you can finally relieve yourself of the weight of taking care of the family!

Birthday Lunch At NUSS @ 23rd Dec

NUSS
3 Temasek Boulevard #05-001
Suntec City Mall
Singapore 038983
Tel: 6779 1811

My boss decided to treat the 3 december babies (including myself) to lunch at @ NUSS! Being the occasional mountain tortoise, i have never heard of the place till that very day.

I love the place to bits, it offers really good food @ affordable prices. The ambience was cozy and laidback with a bit of the atas factor. The waiters and waitress are attentive though there might be the language barrier cause some of them are China workers so we have to converse in chinese at times.

To dine at this place, you got to have membership which is quite Zzz cause i cant just waltz into that place and makan as and when i like. But i guess with that system, it ensures that members get to enjoy the exclusivity that comes with the membership.

Moving on to the foodie delights! I took pictures of everyone’s dishes for the 4 course meal. 

Appertisers!

I took the Crab and Avocado Quiche is is absolutely divine! Creamy goodness which melt in my mouth!

Our soups!

I took the cream of mussels which had lobster chunks in it!
Shiok-a-nathan! Look at how big the pieces are!

Main Courses!

Mine was the Lamb with Ratatouille. I usually dont take lamb cause i am afraid of the smell, but i really wanted to try ratatouille ever since i watch the movie “Ratatouille”. My lamb was really good and it is really tender and juicy. But i think i still love beef!

Ratatouille is pretty much stewed vegetables. A little dissapointed with it but i should say they manage to get the taste just right. Had stewed veggies which are either way too salty or bland.

Desserts!
(Everyone’s favourite)

Mine was the chocolate cake which came with my meal. A tad too sweet for me who like my chocolate cakes with a tinge of bitterness.The apple crumble is Mmmmmm! If you ever go there, you should try it!

Christmas Eve With the Boyfriend - 24th December

Both of us were totally unprepared for Christmas eve cause we have no idea where to go for a nice dinner without blowing a hole in our pockets.

So when i picked him up from work, he suggest Changi Village and i was game for it!

Love at how yummy the Ipoh Hor Fun looks! Mine was a twist which substitute the shredded chicken meat with Fried Chicken cutlet.  The boyfriend’s Prawn dumplings had a whole piece of prawn in it! 

Both dishes only cost us $3 each! How frigging cheap isit!

We had also ordered Stingray and Mussels.

When the stingray came, we were busy attacking it and i totally forgot to take pictures of it till we were half wat through. Hehe~ The mussles were fat and juicy though the sauce wasnt as good as the previous time i came.

The two seafood dishes costed us $16 bucks.

So in total this filling meal cost us: $22!
Mega shiokness not having to splurge on expensive christmas dinners!

After the meal, The Boyfriend and i check out fishing shops and he also brought me to this spot near the Changi Beach Club where the view is really pretty with big ships going past and uncles fishing. Even manage to see one of the uncles hooking up a squid and it blasted ink out! Damn cool!

We later headed to Church of Nativity of The Blessed Virgin Mary for Midnight mass, and the church choir’s performance which was really good. I just love the atmosphere of christmas at the church. It just feels different and calming even for me as a non-believer.

Somehow, the boyfriend always looks so solemn at church. A different side of him which still surprises me each time (in a good way)=D 

Christmas Celebration with the Prata Bandits - 25th December

Thai Accent
1 Harbourfront Walk
#02-145/146 VivoCity

Had a lovely christmas meet up with the gang at vivocity for our christmas lunch and gift exchange =D

Sin Er and I tried Thai Accent under the recommendation of Paiman and boy it is damn good!

I looooovvveee the Green Curry and the soups! They are really nice but then again i have weird tastebuds cause i am the only one who likes the creamy chicken soup. Heh. You can try it if you wan something different from the Tom Yam Soup =D

Pics of the foodies we ordered!

Found this picture of  Me and Sin on Paiman’s facebook.

There is something about this picture which i cant put my finger on it.
The smiles?
The reality of the situation instead of a posed picture?
Me not looking fat?

I have no idea.. I just like it =D

After the filling lunch and the chit chatting session, we headed over to Novena for dessert, another recommendation by Paiman!

Udders
155 Thomson Road, Singapore 307608
(Next to United Square)

I seriously wonder how he remain so skinny with all these yummicilious food he is introduced to. I feel myself gaining 3 kg during this meetup lo!

Ultimate to try favour: Earl Grey & Mao Shan Wang!

Despite me being a person who avoid durian like mad because of the farts and bad breath durian can give, this mao shan wang ice cream taste so much like the real deal i was hooked on it!

I am even willingly to sacrifice my nice smelling breath for it okie!

This is like the first time i ever taken durian ice cream and like it man!

Decided to get some for my family and The boyfriend who are fanatics of Durian.
Pretty pricey at 14.80 per tub but i guess it is worth it cause i know they will really love it.

Go try it if u are nearby!

***

With that it rounds up what i have been doing the pass few days and i am horrified that it is 5am now i am still wide awake. ARRGHHH!

Gotta get my arse back to bed!

10 million ideas, 10 million thoughts, yet nothing.

I am not the most articulated person, prefering to place words into writing, Yet my writing has never been good because of my amateur command in English and I place that blame on myself for not being more dedicated in my writing. The worst thing about my average standard english is that it cant be survived by my E8 standard chinese. Which = i suck at english and even more in chinese.

I am the jack of all trades but master of none because of my lack of focus. I often divert my attention into 10,000 items and doing average on all of them instead of focusing on just a few items and doing ‘em good.

For example: I can say i played captain’s ball, badminton, volleyball, badminton, squash, hockey and floorball before, yet i am neither a professional or skilled in anyone of them. Just an amateur player.

My marcom skills are not improving at the rate that i wished and planned for. Have been downloading loads of press release and yet i haven been able to set aside time to read up and analyse them cause i just feel like that are just so many other items to do!

Like working on the posters, a new event, factsheet, chinese translation of materials, visitor participations and thinking of a website layout for an upcoming event.

This lack of focus has been bane of mine and even The Boyfriend finds that i am easier distracted with my focus snapping off at rapid speed when anything comes along. I am noticing too many things without focusing what i am doing on hand.

How can i go about solving this? I have set time away and tried planning my schedule for me to read up more, to exercise, to plan my day activities yet there always seem to be not enough time on hand cause i just wan to do all of it at the same time.

Sometimes i even dread meet ups with friends much as i love them cause i feel i am not able to complete what i set out to do today. There are times i skip lunch at the office or go in earlier just to be able find more time to do my work or read the newspaper.

I have loads of magazines and books i have yet to read!
TTG Asia, Marketing Magazine, Ogilvy on Advertising, 4 hour work week as well as a back load of newspapers.

Even typing this blog entry makes me feel like i am wasting precious time.

I wish i am better at mult tasking or planning my time out with is really crucial in my line of work and for me to learn and gain even more. I am getting extremely frustrated and stressed up over this.

Gonna do up a blog entry on my week as well as read todays newspaper. I am so far back it is not funny.

Loads of errands to do tomorrow. Gotta list them down to before i forget.

Oh ya and a press release to be due on Monday.

See what i mean when i say my focus flies everywhere? I cant even focus on a few items before my mind flies off somewhere.

*Smacks head*

Something cute, something pretty, something lovely, something yummy!

 

Santa Claus goes: Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Xmas!

 

Yummilicious Xmas Muffins for me!

Thanks baby!

Shopping Sprint

  Conquered 313 @ Orchard, Takashimaya, Wisma Atria, Orchard Ion and Dhoby Ghaut on Saturday.

I swear my feet almost dropped off.

Hardcore shopping with the boyfriend as the both of us went on a hunt for christmas presents for our friends as well as for the each other.

Decided to just shop together for each other’s xmas present this year so as to save each other the headache on what to get for each other.

Got boyfriend two books at Harris and he look so happy clutching the two books in hand. Damn adorable. Heh.

The boyfriend got me this!
HAPPINESS TO THE MAX!

Intended to get this watch myself initially as a reward for myself  but the boyfriend insisted on paying for me cause he knew i really like it and he wanted to get me something i really like for Xmas. In the end i let him pay when he said it is a Xmas + Birthday pressie. 

Still feeling really guilty allowing him to pay for it cause it is so pricey considering it cost like X4 of what i got him. Shall get him something else to add on to his pressie. Heh.

***

Hungry at 5ish so the boyfriend and i went on a hunt for food @ Takashimaya.

(Sorry to digress but takashimaya has soooo many carousels and ferris wheels display pieces on sale i had to resist from grabbing them and stuffing it into my bag!  Okok.. Back to topic!)

Treated the boyfriend to dinner at Ambush which is located on B1 of  Takashimaya.

Ordered Clam Chowder with Garlic Bread for $3.80 and it came in a pretty big bowl and big slice of garlic bread which was crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Major shiokness.

The Boyfriend has Grilled Salmon Pasta with Pesto Cream Sauce while i had the Chicken and Mushroom with Tomato Cream sauce.

Loveeee TOMATO CREAM!

 The tomato cream sauce at Ambush had a tinge of bbq flavour in it. Nice!
I have been wary of pesto sauces cause i am always worried that it would taste too nutty for me. First time trying it and i like it!

Look how yummy our meal looks: 

***

Went walking around ION after that and my feet hurt like mad and i had to go sit down. It was so quiet and comfortable there, the both of us almost fell sleep there and then. We can be really piggyat times.

Recovered and we walked from Ion to Plaza Singapura, snap pictures of the xmas celebrations. Didnt manage to snap a pic of my favourite Xmas tree this year. The damn big purple one at ION Orchard! Mega Chio!!! 

I also like the Ferrero Rocher Xmas tree. Looks good enough to eat!  Heh.(Pardon the lame pun)

 

2009 Christmas, i cant wait for your arrival..

Got presents at Plaza Singapura and the boyfriend and i took the NEL back home.
Because of my aching feet, we took to Habourfront and back to Hougang just so that i could have a place to sit. Both of us end up falling asleep and took the train till Seng Kang. Too shagged out and we look really stoned when walking out of the mrt. Hahax* 

Reach home i soaked my feet in hot water and i felt i reached high heavens man. Simple pleasures can be soooo good.

***

Having my period makes me a tired and cranky person and the boyfriend had been really sweet with me that day.

Frequent breaks during our sprint between malls because of my hurting feet and backaches, my frustrations with crowds, my indecision when buying items and helping me with my bag when it got a little too heavy for me, This man has been awfully patient with me.

Love him to bits

Of Books and Reads

I guess my love for books or reading stemmed since young with the constant trips to the library with my mom. I would love the comics and fairytale sections and indulge in Tintin / Asterix/ Mr and Miss stories for hours.

Later as i grew older, i moving away from comic to storybooks by

Williard Price

(I ransack the entire adventure series from my primary school library and became a librarian to as to monitor who is borrow the book series.

Roald Dahl

(I love George’s Marvellous Medicine and Witch!)

Catherine Lim

(The Teardrop Story Woman to me was one of her greatest works)

L. J. Smith’s Vampire Diaries

Sidney Sheldon

These books remain etched in my mind, i would love to buy all these books and just display then in my room cause they remind me so much of the young nerdy me who carries a book almost everywhere i go and my love for reading.

I used to kiap a storybook between my textbook so that i look like i am studying instead. Kanna caned for that once when my mom found out.

Now, i found myself reading lesser and there werent really much books that were able to capture my attention. The last storybook i enjoyed was Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons ( which i haven caught the movie yet)

I cant seem to enjoy books without being affected by the emo stories.

For example, i am afraid to read My Sister’s Keeper cause i am afraid i am going to bawl my eyes out and huddle in a corner emo-ing to self.

Trying to pick up the reading habit again,

Storybooks have given way to more “Serious” books.

The book i am currently on now is Tim Ferris’s 4 hour work week.

The ironical thing about this book is that it is supposed to help me manage my time better, yet i rarely get the chance to sit down and read this book without nodding off. Bah Humbug.

Newly acquired Ogilvy On Advertising is tempting me to throw aside 4 hour work week  for it. Oh so tempted. Hmmm =D

Aiming Tim Burtons book! I wonder when will it ever reach Singapore?! Does anyone have a copy on hand??

What Makes Me Happy

Lets just have the pictures do the talking this time.

Another Chapter

This weekend has been an emotional rollercoaster where my life was totally topsy turvy and crazy. I totally crashed after a long time.

Its been so long since i last felt like this and when it all blew over, i am left feeling totally wind up and a tad fragile where i am afraid to take the first step again.

I am trying and it is like a brand new chapter where i am stepping out of a old skin.

Feeling a bit new and refresh. I felt i purged out all my inner demons i am ready to face the new challenges in life again.

Go Missy. You can do it.
