This year is slightly different from the rest as my granny passed away last year, so there goes my yearly routine of heading to 'si ma lu' street every lunar new year's eve and squeezing with people in the temples. kinda miss that actually. and the staying up is fun too. hahaha! so this year is slightly quieter, caught the jack neo movie "love matters" with daddy on the first day of new year! =D well, it's not exactly catered to my age group, so I would advise everyone to watch "the wedding game" instead! haha
Pictures coming your way below!
I feel weird blogging from office actually. Technically I can do it cos I have nothing to do now, but I'm feeling guilty about coming late to office today, and delivering my boss's coffee late for her meeting. ops! didn't expect that she would need coffee suddenly =/
and the reason i'm late today is because I was out till very late last night heh! was out shopping with siew for a 'sea-coloured' dress for joyce's party today and met jm for dinner-cum-supper at the coffee club after that. subsequently we just talked and talked and talked till 1am. (digression: sheperd's pie at the coffee club is delicious!) that was the case on day 2 of new year too! we sat in siew's living room (without aircon and siew didn't melt - surprise surprise) and chatted till 2 or 3am. gosh. how talkative we are. hahaha! i don't understand why do we have so much to talk also. it's just fun to talk. and argue about general stuff. and yeah, i was trying to probe something out of them la. =P
yeah. back to being late today. i don't know whether i can stay up late today for joyce's party without falling asleep. and there's a looonngg day ahead for me tomorrow too!
40+ pictures have arrived! I haven't been peppering my posts with pictures recently huh. here's all at one shot then haha!
CNBC cap. nice!
guess what's inside??
a stuffed peacock!
check out its cute butt
dinner @ some jap food court in paradiz centre. newly opened in dec 28, 2008, and owned by sakura group. haha! how do i know? just ask the aunties working there! lol. btw, this is a very delicious and saucy (pun intended) okonomiyaki.
$1 per ebi tempura - cheap and up to my standards! mind you, my standards for prawn tempura are quite high
two girls and a guy with an awkward smile.
jm's omelette rice
mind cafe mania! board games are one of my fave leisure activities. heh. its the source of funny acts and endless laughter. spent an hour playing saboteur and i think we are all hooked on it!
before i tidied it up - the inventory room's state
boxes and boxes lying everywhere
after! =D how satisfying
neatly stacked stuff. =) i really think i have a fetish for arranging things neatly. must be the genes from daddy.
song of india
had a business lunch cum awards ceremony last friday at this quaint and posh indian restaurant nested along scotts road named song of india. =) Felt quite uneasy at first, after setting up stuff and then when the guests came, I didn't know whether to show face or to hide away. in the end i chose the latter as I wouldn't know anything about the guests anyway. actually i do know something after some last-min research before I left for the restaurant, but i still chose the safe way. haha! ended up chatting happily away with the restaurant's manager (mario) and he gave me a cosmopolitan for free! =D we talked about aspirations and he said that if he could really open his own restaurant one day, he'll be over the moon. i think he has the skills and acumen to succeed though. =)
being a high-end restaurant, the service is naturally in tip-top condition, with a hint of friendliness - i like! =D it's not those aloof and blunt restaurants, but very warm and inviting.
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
let me now introduce the food!
huge love letters? haha it's salty though. there's dips to dip it with
very thick strawberry lassi - something like a smoothie. slurps!
complimentary. love the crispy exterior and minty contents
appetizers - tiger prawn, fish, chicken and lamb.
mains - chicken masala (or something along those lines. haha!) the breads are the bomb man. thick yet crunchy pieces of roti-prata-lookalike breads baked in a clay oven. 5 stars!
oh, and their vanilla ice cream is absolutely heaven sent. it's rich, creamy, has a sweet aroma and basically flew me over the moon. =D =D
this is not in song of india anymore. but rather in liang court where david and i had lunch last sat while on our visit-jm's-shop trip. it's some japanese and italian fusion restaurant. food is reasonable, ought to try their steak though. those are really cheap. heh.
no complaints about their pizzas too. =)
doing my rebonding. ha! the two tubes sticking out of a machine is part of this 'o3' treatment i'm doing. haha. it's supposed to feed my hair purified mist (aka water) filled with 'o3'.
interior of the shop. i like the way it's long, so it seems huge from outside but actually its quite small haha

went for sunday lunch and chitchat session with andrea, simin and yilin, my sec sch pals :) andrea just came back from taiwan so we are kinda excited to get updates from her, including her new beau! that's my super tall green tea blended btw. i must say MOF food is really rather good, though azabu sabo is more authentic!

i wonder have i ever mention this on my blog. i used to have this shirt as a gift from my aunt, she bought it from europe cos she thinks the rabbit is cute and i'm born in the year of the rabbit. and so the cutting and material of this shirt is perfect for me too (back then), therefore I wore it almost everytime i go out.
until one day someone told me playboy is actually a sex magazine. wonderful. -.-"'
dinner with mom's side of relatives on the second day!
home-cooked food beats everything :)
