Let's welcome...

过桥米线!I apologise for the lousy photo quality. was in a hurry to cook it. haha!


It tastes half like mee sua, half like bee hoon, just that it's in an instant noodles pack. I love the smoothness of it, and the it's really tasty (no thanks to the MSG-laden soup base). don't know whether if it's found in major supermarkets, but my dad bought it from the fu hwa trading store i think. =) a pack has 4 individual packets, and it costs approx $3+

On a totally random note, I just saw my old sec sch friend's face on the Sunday Times! I was taken-aback when i flipped the page, and there he was, smiling happily away at the camera. haha! it's been so long since we had a chalet-cum-bbq....


Before I start procrastinating again, let's file away some pictures!

Happy 22nd, Mavis Tan!!

celebrated at Paulaner Brauhaus. It's a vibrant place, with wonderful live music and you can sit there all night staring at their microbrewery haha!


Photobucket
my 3 kakis from sec sch :)


Photobucket
hello lager! after trying both the lager and the dark version, i like the dark better, though lager is supposed to be more female-friendly. funny, but i think the dark one tastes sweeter. that's what my host mom in germany says too. =)


Photobucket
ohohoh the mashed potatoes are to-die-for!!!!!! about 80% similar to the best mashed potatoes i've tasted in my entire life (so far) in vienna's irish pub. i'll be back for it, i swear.


Photobucket
we actually kept it from mavis that we are celebrating her birthday, and surprised her with a card and a jelly-cake (made by yours truly) after we walked out of the pub.


Photobucket
ta-dah!! it's actually a transparent konnyaku jelly mix filled with fruits (M for Mavis) hahaa


Photobucket
and we lighted a candle and sang a birthday song! :D


Photobucket
my friend whom i've known for the longest! =D remember those times in pri 3 when we were prefects and you were looking after class 1A and me, class 1C...? then we started talking about how innocent the kids were when they consulted us on how to read certain words in their storybooks, and how rowdy they cna be? hahaa!!!


Photobucket
a cosy bunch :D


Campus superstar finale

Thanks to Shuhui who gave me a free ticket to watch!! I became part of Yoga's fan club for a night.


Photobucket
not terribly fond of him, but he is distinctive.


Photobucket
very cute fan club logo!! hahaa it was fun screaming and all, and to wave those signs around. :D


Photobucket
if you are a fan of yoga, do check out the website! it's an international fan club, and the people inside are really nice =)


too bad jiamin didn't sing a solo song live, i went there just to watch her sing some ballads, but came back disappointed. but i'm still very very proud of her, being calm and cool throughout everything, and i bet she will make it big in the future! i'm dead serious :) will be waiting for your first album! haha


Kbox with lala + mavis (just because it is cheap keke)

$13.50 for unlimited hours of singing from 7pm onwards, what's there not to like??


Photobucket
lala and her hand-made donuts again. hahaha! she got me started on this clay-handicraft craze too. =P just bought a pack of six colours, shall try my hand at it someday. any request for any food item? lol! it will turn out to be something like those stressballs that you see selling at action city, just in miniature version. XD


Photobucket
lala's full range of delicacies for us to choose


Photobucket
maybe i can make it into a hairclip...


Photobucket
noticed any difference on me? haha i tried my colleague's red dior specs :P


I've been staying at home planning for my taiwan trip for the past two days (and today too) heh. it's really exciting to read forums and blogs on other people's travel experiences, and that's why planning is always half the fun :D i'll start a holiday travelblog soon... when i have the time to think up of designs! haha

P.S: do lookout for jetstar's lunchtime madness deals every wed 11am to 2pm. they are supremely good!!! my colleague just booked tickets to taiwan next yr feb for only $170!! I thought no one could beat my $230, but she actually managed to do it haha! congrats! =P


A nice song to share with you all :) Faith hill - Fireflies


*Fireflies* by Faith Hill

Before you met me i was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen

Before you knew me i traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love
Because i was taught to dream

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture tinkerbell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But i could always tell

[chorus]
I believe in fairytales and dreamers dreams like bed sheet sails
And i believe in peter pan and miracles
And anything i can to get by
And fireflies

Before i grew up i saw you on a cloud
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings
Before i grew up i heard you whisper so loud
"life is hard, and so is love, child, believe in all these things"

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But i could always tell

[chorus]
Before you met me i was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
Before you knew me i traveled 'round the world
And i slept in castles and fell in love
Because i was taught to dream
