Farewell Publicis Part II

Pasta Brava, the place we have always wanted to visit but heartd is quite ex.

Keep hearing ravings about the pasta and all, but... maybe my expectations of pasta is much too high, i felt it was just so so only.

Attendees: Caroline, Catherine, Sherin, Ashley, Wee Tee, Me, Sancia and Charlene

My lovely Ashley bought me a can of coke and gave it to me when I was in the HR room goofing around. What a lovely surprise coz I used to love coke oh so much! the last can of subsidised 50cents coke from Publicis. Kekekkeeke...
I miss her so much!

A lovely gift from Caroline. In her note, is her usual wish for me " I will not wish you luck, coz u do not need it. U have wat it takes to make your dreams come true'
But But But.. Who will turn luck away? I wan loads of it pls...

Farewell Publicis Part I

Took a bus to Central and we got on a Nokia bus! Its pink and purple in color with comfy seats!

My favourite Miso Ramen at Santouka. Best in Singapore!

Eve with her usual sleepy look, Sancia who is a chilli padi, Nicole with her gentle-ness and Sherin with her usual tiger style (bite when provoked). All of us at Santouka on a tuesday. Yum Yum!

Sweet Julie got me a prezzie. No pic of her but she really is the gem of my life in Publicis. She helped me loads with my work, being very patient and always accomodating to my request. The best staff from Re-Sources!

Semi-Buffet at M Hotel. A treat from the HR ladies and Jenny. You get to order a main dish and then help yourself to the buffet table. Cold seafood, soup, sashimi, side dishes and the dessert!

I ordered Lobster voulevunts, Jenny and Pam had the steak and Michelle had the veal sausage.

Very very satisfying. I had more than a dozen of prawns and Mich has a dozen of Oyster! not the mention the very very satisfying durian cream which all of us had 2 servings!

Yum Yum!! I would definitely go again! (provided i strike 4d)

Ro's Bdae Celebration Part II

Liang Wee Restaurant for lunch to celebrate Ro's birthday! Mixed pig's organs soup, pig's trotters, stewed pork and red wine chicken! The red wine is home made using rice wine with raisins and it tasted good! Look at all the empty claypots!

As promised to Ro, I cooked the world's best fried rice! (thats wat he claims lor, just to pacify me.. whahahaha.

I'm now going to impart my receipe to all of you!

Below is the ingredients needed. Ham, Prawns, Eggs and Cooked rice.

Next up, Campbell soup! How do we make smooth creamy Campbell soup? Here is how we do it!

What is a complete meal without vege? I made stir fried garlic brocoli and carrot.


First, dice the garlic into fine bits.
Next, heat a tablespoon of oil in the wok.
Add the garlic when oil is hot. Stir the garlic about till brown.
Add the brocoli and carrot and fry them together. Sprinkle just a tiny bit of sugar(to keep the green color of the vege) and add a bit of water and let it simmer.
Add Oyster sauce to taste and viola! It's done!

A complete home made fried rice meal! :)

Ro's Bdae Celebration Part I

Went JB with Ro over the weekend on Saturday to celebrate Ro's bdae with uncle and auntie. Instead of going for our usual dinner at the Taman Sentosa for crayfish, we had dinner at a restaurant located next to the usual hawker there.

Stir fried french beans, sweet and sour pork ribs, salted egg crabs, claypot toufu and cockles fried kway teow.

The cockles kway teow tasted just like the the normal kway teow, fragrant and moist. French beans, pork ribs, claypot toufu tasted norrmal. Salted egg crabs were a dismay. The 2 crabs were too small for my liking, and the sauce was not as good as the one at coffee shop near Ro's house.

Cake cutting at Ro's house after dinner. A very light cheese mango cake. Nice! the cake was light and the mango was abit sour,a wonderful combination. Yum Yum! I had 2 pieces..kekekekeke

Brought the Raffles truffle moonies over to let uncle and auntie try. We mixed the box of cognac and champagne ones. Uncle and auntie liked them! Uncle keep repeating that the champagne one is very fragrant. I agree!!!

Goodbye my fren goodbye...

A little surprise when i reach the office today.

What is it?

A post-it note! Hmm.. just like the taiwan drama i like? 'Ming zhong zhu ding ai shang ni'

Ohhh.. something's beneath it..

Lets read the note..

Lovely ash made me nutella bread!! I LOVE IT!!!


Lunch at the thai restaurant at Temasek. I love mut tum, stewed pork with thai rice noodle.. (think i got the wrong spelling).



Honey glazed chicken, red curry with rice, thai fish cake, prawn paste fried rice (fri's special).. food food and more food!



The attendees of for the lunch. Poor Jeff only got to know I resigned right before the lunch and he was shocked. Kekekekeke.. Whole table of women.. everyone knows the news but him :P



Sharilyn says her dress looks like a bikini from afar.. kekekeke...



Check out my feet g-string! It's actually my socks.. kekekeke.. I love it but hor, my feet perspire and the black color ran, and stain my nail! now i look like i have ugly nails..



Lastly, check our mr vain pot! He was sitting like this when I was taking pic of the pressie I did for Ash!

Scrapaholic I am!

Woke up really excited coz its scrapbooking day!
We're goin for the 'Bitten by the scrap bug' class today!

See my excited look! took a photo in the lift, juz left the hse :)

The nice decor in the classroom.

Ro and I were first to reach! So excited! bought the pop up dots needed before we came into the class. Too bad the bubble bee precision scissors was out of stock so we went for class without scissors! kekekeke..

Ro say bubble bee is transformer, the scissors copy his name.. duh.. bubble bee is oso a kinda bee lor.. busy like a bee..

I had to take photo with the cutter coz i really really love it. used it for the first scrapbooking class and wanted to buy it but they no longer carry it. I like the pink!

This class is superbly intense. Not a moment of free time but I love it! many new techniques learnt! inking (to make the paper look old), using of the bling bling diamonds, using pop up to make the art piece 3d, using the gliter to empahsize on the motifs, co-ordination of pattern paper and usage of patterned paper as embellishment..

Yes! I've been bitten by the scrapbug! I LOVE SCRAPBOOKING~

I wan to buy an item a month :) no budget ot buy everyting one shot but I am sure i wan to pursue this as my hobby. expensive hobby it is but i really feel at peace when doing each layout and a great/huge sense of achievement each time i complete one. I can so imagine sitting beside ro, both of us doing our layouts together on a lazy sunday evening..

Our masterpiece!! top 3 done by me, bottom 3 by ro!

We really need an album to hold our layouts.. A xmas prezzie promised by ro!
Yipppeee!!

Gluttony again!

Button loves bread like his mummy, he never fails to sit properly beside the table hoping that we will feed him part of the bread.. kekekeke.. see! caught in action.

Greedy mummy decided to meet uncle Ro at bugis to satisfy her steamboat craving. Went bras brasah before that to find the materials needed for tomorrow's scrapbooking class but art frenzy has nothing that i need! i guess i'll stick to scrapbooking shops in future. Pop by Raffles coz we wanted to get the champagne truffle mooncakes but we decided to get next wk so that it wld still be fresh when we bring it back to jb.

I bought 3 pairs of shoes in a matter of 30mins! sandles at mphosis and rubies pumps.. kekeke.. all cheap cheap one lor.. wear n throw! just like bata :P

Last stop to visit before heading back to bugis for steamboat was paper market. I was entralled by paper market at city hall! i love the whole wall of lettering some with blings! but it doesnt feel as well stocked as made with love though.. walked out without buying anything.. kekekekeke.. in any case i was too hungry to concentrate anymore.. almost fainting

Horrors of all horrors... Jin Deli has closed down!!!!!!!

HOW CAN LOR!!! JUST WHEN I FOUND U!!! Sobb...

Luckily stil got golden chopstick beside.. not bad too! kekekeke...

we had 4 plates of meat between the 2 of us, 2 plates of prawns, 1 crab and loads of vege! I likey! I HEART GOLDEN MUSHROOM! I can have them without feeling sick! Everyday!

Left the place feeling full.. but hor.. just when i was on the way home, i felt hungry again.. I'm really someone who cant live without carbo.. be it pasta, bread, rice, noodles, I've gotta have abit for dinner. Had a slice of bread (shared abit with button) and i felt full immediately.. no more hunger pangs.. kekekeke.. Ro say my system spoil lor, eat so much :P

Alamak...

Button's groomer absolutely suck at tying his hair!

See the before and after. Before I rectify the error (tied by his groomer) and after i tied his hair.. So much difference! Sunflower head no more!

10hours of grooming gave him sleepy eyes..

so sorry mummy cldnt go pick u up coz no car.. got to wait for groomer to send u back.. busy day for them today thus so late (130pm to 1100pm!!!)

Great Company, Good Food...

Ash & I went for our hot date over lunch at habour grill :)
I Love... the pork chops with mash! and they serve lovely toasted warm bread to go with their soup.. drooling now.. i'm so gona miss the food there when i leave!
Not to mention my lovely ex-neighbour Ashley. I'm so gona miss the crazy talk we always have, the bitching during lunch, the overtime together, the hot private lunch dates, dinner and also the same feeling of being broke.. I'm so so so gona miss u Ash..

I sprinted off work to meet Nana at PS.. As promised previously at wild oats, we're back to mt emily for dinner at wild rocket..

Romantic ambience, cozy setting and service crew that are ever so attentive. A good choice for intimate small wedding setting. I wouldnt agree to couples coming as the staff can be over attentive at times.. clearing the plates promptly, filling the water cups. I didnt even know 2 staffs were hovering behind me being ever attentive, till Nana told me after that. I was only slightly agitated coz they used the area beside me as a side table. so our conversation was constantly disrupted coz of the plates being clattered on the side and the staff popping over to ask us about our meal.

Had Hiratake black oyster mushroom fettucine in white trffule cream while nana have something that is not in the menu, Scallop Aglio Olio. The pasta were al-dente and tasted quite good. But I believe I can do better.. kekekekeke

Popped over to 1 Caramel for desserts and un-interrupted conversation! Yep.. nana and I bring out the gluttons in each other.. kekekekeke..

Ash told me the cakes werent that fantastic and thus we decided to order desserts instead of cake. the family of 3 seated at the table beside us left their cakes almost untouched! I guess they really aint that great. But the cupcakes look so cute! I love the piggy one :P

We ordered Moelleux au Chocolat & Cafe Brule. Cafe brule tasted not too bad even for someone that doesnt like coffee. The chocolate cake tasted good coz its warm and comes with vanilla ice-cream. I love warm chocolate cake. moist ones of coz.. dislike those dry ones.

Ahh.. catching up with each other over desserts and floral tea.. It doesnt feel like a Thursay at all.. feels absolutely like a relaxing friday.. The wonders of girl power.. :D I love my BFF!

Of exercises and gluttony...

Finally went for true fitness' pilates class on monday!

One thing me n nicole notices, the instructor got no armpit hair.. whahahahaa.. it was fun, a lively instructor with different positions and exercises that I have never attempted before.

Went for my own pilate classes as usual yesterday and I have tummy muscles that are aching in protest. two consecutive days of pilates aint no joke. Yoga tonite! my very first yoga class.. virgin one wor.. kekekekekeke.. Hope true fitness' yoga is good. If i enjoy myself, i will enrol for yoga classes at my sports hall for every sat morning starting nov. Cheapo hor.. Ya la! cant afford gym u noe..

I'm hungry now.. waiting for everyone for lunch at soup spoon.. I have so much food cravings!

Aiyo....

I just wan to eat everything!!!!

I bet I lost weight....

I fell sick...

Yep, on mc for 2 days and finally feeling beta today.

I lost track of time, having such a bad cold that i basically slept and waking up only to take med.

No food, juz water and med.

Guess my BMI's gona drop even more.. as for the fat content?? I guess it wld burn a little? been perspiring the whole day today. Mum says that's coz i am recovering..

So uncomfortable. How i wish I can bathe every 2 hours but i cant. Mum's afraid the cold would be back. so Tahan... Bathe just twice a day.. Sigh..

Hope I'll b fine tmr coz that's when I have to be back to work..

I am fat...

Went to true fitness to collect my 2 weeks pass with Eve & Nicole.

Measured our fat content and I am made up of 29.7% of fat.

The acceptable % is 17-24% and anything more than 30% is obese.

Yes, I need to do something about it desperately.

Thank god my metabolic rate is high and thus no problems with my health.

The instructors there said I have to do more cardio and weights in order to turn my fats into muscles and since muscles are heavier than fat, I would be able to increase my BMI. Yep, I'm still underweight..

Not many people get it, they say fat = overweight. Underweight need to gain fat. How wrong they are. No wonder so many thin people have high blood, high cholestrol etc. Thank god for the good genes that I have :P

More jogging for me and I need to start doing some weights..

Jia you jia you jia you!
