2nd Prezzie Done!

My prezzie to uncle & auntie for xmas! Done done done! All by myself! Kekekeke...

Before that, I cooked Aglio Olio for dinner. A very simple dish that Ro doesnt like. He hates the basil leave smell.. Oh well, guess we jus thave to stick to Miso & Cream pasta..

Paper Paper Paper...

Yep, I went paper shopping coz I have this coupon that says 20% off on 20 pcs of pattern paper so crazy me bought 21 pieces!! Yes!

Sorted my papers by brands and I realise I bought in total (adding the papers i bought previously and not yet use), ELEVEN BRANDS!

I so wana get a betty cropper file that lets me put them neatly. $35.90.. can i bring myself to buy that?

Pretty nice work...

That's what my boss said about my report... It took me almost a week and I stayed till 1230am to complete..

den after, he requested for more details and picked on the color of my graph..

he also said he he dun like the way the 3d bar chart is slanted. He wants it straight but ok with the 3d bars. But how to make it straight with 3d bars? the slant of the graph is to show the 3d-ness lor.. sighhh.. ended up he says, "its okay, i can live with the graphs.."

'Live with it'... sounds like i'm torturing him no??

I will make the amendments!!

Cosmo Cricket - Nutmeg

Meet Ro at PS after work and I went to MWL to buy Pattern Paper~!

New arrival from Cosmo Cricket nutmeg that made me lose my senses... whahaha..

Went for sakae teppanyaki and we got extra serving of vege and foie gras, coz the chef got our order wrong! kekekeke... Cheapskate me am very happy abt it!

Grooming again! (25th oct)

Bro has the use of his fren's car so he and his gf brought baby to bishan for the dog walk together with his gf's fren and female shih tzu.

Sigh, passed them the camera but they did not use at all, shld hv brought it out when i went to meet ash. Anyway, the photo below shows the pic of me and him before he went for his dog walk & grooming. The photo on the right shows how he looked when i reached home yesterday. cute? Btw, notice his mustach is missing? now he look like charlie chaplin with his black lip :P

Cooked Ro's fav cream based pasta that has mushroom, bacon, prawns and brocoli and button waited patiently for us at the kitchen door while we were cooking.

By the time we settle down to eat, he was dozing off under the coffee table, just like an old man, eyes closed up head upright.. so cute!!!!

Ion.. Again!

Meet Ash at for some girly fun. I love her warehouse clutch. Too bad no more black.

We had our dinner at Marmalade pantry and I love the truffled risotto and ash's caeser avocado wrap tasted quite good too! Nice ambience for us to gossip and catch up. So much has happened since i left Publicis!

There wasnt any cupcakes left so we decided to walk about before having some snacks.

Bought leave-in conditioner and shower gel at body shop coz there was a sale. And i finally found my cardi at ZARA! I almost bought from uniqlo the last time at tampines but Ro said it looked cheap. Duno if he will say the same about my Zara. :P

Hungry us proceed to basement for the Takoyaki. Late at nite, no queue!! Yum Yum! Each of us polished 3 balls each. Sorry for the pic coz we totally forgotten to take until there was only one left. Went to tea loft and i proceeded to polish off one ham and cheese toast and lemon aloe vera drink. Whahaha.. shopping makes me hungry!

Reached home at 1130 and I was dead beat.. Shopping makes me feel drained...

Our 2nd Anniversary...

Our anniversary falls on 21st Oct but I was unable to meet Ro for dinner as I had some report to rush.

Nonetheless, we decided to hold the celebration on Friday, 23rd oct!

Al Dente we went. Alfresco dining on the roof-top with the view of Singapore's skyline.

Linguine con frutti di mare (linguine in white wine ragout with tiger prawns, baby clam, mussel, scallop and fresh basil), a wonderful change to my usual cream based pasta (i love cream based). this is not too light and has a medium weight to taste.

Al funghi pizza, thin crusted pizza with loads of different types of mushrooms. Yum...

Rucola & parmigiano ( fresh rucola salad with tomato,avocado, citrus fruits and pomegranates, truffle vincotto and parmesan shaving). I didnt really fancy this as the vege has a bitter after taste and the avocado was over-ripe.

I would go back again, to try the other pastas available.

Proceed to fruit paradise for desserts as reccomended by Nana..
Yummy fruit tarts that look as good as they taste~! or the other way round! I love it! I love the tea pot gloves that helps keep the tea warm. So cute! just like oven gloves.

I love Fridays!

A Little Sneak for a little prezzie!

A little prezzie

Justice done to my spending of money on a pair of scissors.. a little layout as our anniversary gift to ro. :)

Fairmont.... Nana's Treat!

Buffet dinner at Plaza market. A big thank you to nana & km for their generoisty :)
Stations of local delight, (i heart the cheese prata and roast duck), fresh prawns on ice, ( i made prawn salad that is comparable to kopi bean, ask nana to vouch for me!), mouth watering bread & roll and local delights of dessert.

I heart prawns! nevermind they gib me pimples, nevermind that Nana's lip will swell, we attack them like nobody's business!

Various main dishes like carrot cake (yep, local fried carrot cake), otah, salmon in cream sauce and chicken roll. Yum! just thinking about it made me hungry again!
I enjoyed the ice-cream! in flavors like coconut, vanilla, corn & something else i cant recall. That's where my food goes, to my brains, stuck my brains.. whahaha..

Till next time! Here's Misspiggy signing off! Like my back view?

I got my Honey Bee.. Miracle!

Left office early to have dinner before my facial and decided to pop by paper market. A splendid choice~! coz honey bee is in stock!

Ro and I have been searching for it since our first lesson as the precision tip and teflon coated blades meant easy to cut for small details and no more sticky glue stuck on the scissors blade!

Yippee!

Our sunday at the park..

Button and I were alone at home today and the little naughty boy looked bored and pitiful. Finish up my chores and brought him down to the park thinking I might be able to get some decent shots that I can scrap about but the little bugger was not co-operating! The pic tells everything. he's distracted by the surroundings and turn away when the camera blocks his view... kua kua kua... thus the lousy shots...

Jin Deli Found!

Went for a haircut with mum before meeting Ro at chinatown for dinner at Jin Deli yesterday!

the place was really crowded and thank god we arrived slightly early before the crowd came. the service wasnt that good probably coz it was too crowded and a few of the service crew were skiving.
Thankfully the lady boss was more attentive and directed those lady bums to work:)
Overall not too bad, I ate the most! kekekekkee..

ps: see my hair? so much shorter right? the hairdresser cut off all the dry ends and i'm left with short hair. Today, the hair at the back is all sticking out as its too short and at the shoulder area. siannnn, that means I will have to blow dry it everyday or be cursed with messy hair.

Miso Pasta Revealed..

My self-created miso pasta revealed!

Serves 2

Ingredients needed.
A tablespoon of Miso
A packet of fusili
3 chicken fillet
15pcs of prawn.

Easy easy!

My aunt's back from hokkaido and these are the goodies given to us by her.
I love the white lover in green packaging, the same ones that ash gave me.. nice! the potato farm chips are the same as the ones given by julie to me!

Our first!

Our joint effort done today!Nice right! I likey!

Btw, all my back dated post are done and even my scrapbooking blog is updated!

I'm on a blogging roll today!

Kekekekeke

So far so good..

Visited Ikea with Ro & Mum and I'm happy!
Bought the shadow boxes which I have plans to use for xmas! Yippeee! hope it'll be successful and I also found my transparent toolbox at Tampines 1! But hor, should have bought the bigger sized one coz it seems the small one that i've gotten might be too small to hold futher acquisitions.. kekekke.. I still love it!

I've been in MS for more than a week and have met all the colleagues in my cubicle..

So far so good. It's same same but different as Infocus. Many of my colleagues work from home, all are friendly and fun and work very very hard.

I've passed the MS Sales and MSRA test and gotten the access. Also spoke to Larry Lai from Redmund who used to work for my boss. 2 other person, Jose and Heather did not acknowledge my mail nor ping me so I guess I'll give them some time, should be busy I guess.

Well, my boss will be back on Monday. Hope all will still be as rosy as this week.

PS: MS's cafe at level 21 is by Olio and the wrapper they use for the sandwich looks exactly like the coach paper wrapper! kekekeke...

Stay tuned for backdated post! Pls check the posts below tis one.. Will be blogging once a day to catch up with lost ones!

My First Layout!

Tadah! My first layout without any help.

Ro commented that it was too dull and forced me to put the stickers of the heartshape, the dog paw and the doggy sticker. I felt it kinda looks out of place on my layout but well, i take it that's its a joint-effort layout. :)

Well, at least button is happy with it.. The picture proves it!

Suki-ya... Nahhh

Meet Eve after work today. she was in a dilemma over work and need some advice and listening ear.

pop by my facial place to grab my cleanser and proceed to meet her at paper market(cityhall). Boy am i glad i went! I found my trimmer! I found my trimmer! I FOUND IT!!! La La La... remember a few post back i posted with the pink paper cutter at scrapbook class? i found that! but it's in the light green one. the very last piece left! well, just as well coz ro is the co owner of the trimmer. he'll again grumble its not manly if its pink. :) exerted a big big huge amt of self-discipline to not get anything else. well, i did get an additional blade in case it well blunt and the stocks ran out. kekekekeke..

Proceeded to Marina Square for dinner coz we felt like having steam boat. Eve reccomended Suki-ya. What really disappoints me is the limited array of food. there isnt any seafood and no pork liver. the soup base is just plain water. maybe that was why i felt it didnt taste good.

well, we talked n talked n eat n eat. or rather, i ate. eve was not herself, she lost her appetite coz of work, normally she eats like double the portion of what i eat? basically we ate and yak till the last order which is around 10pm. I was feeling sleepy by then. and the ice cream was only one serving, dispensed by the manager which is too little for my liking. :( I wanted more...

Suki-ya, will i go again, nah.. coz Jin Deli is back~!

PS: I duno y the collate done by picasa is so tiny everytime. can anyone advise how to make it big? the picture shows me with my new cutterpede u noe..

Auntie Ye Feng Kuang!

I played the tour guide again!

5th Auntie joined us to JB for shopping! Meet Rowan at city sq and uncle fetched all of us to Tebrau City. He couldnt join as he and auntie (Ro's dad and mum) had something on in the evening.

We started by having old town for lunch, well, at least for me coz i had not had my lunch yet. Then after, we comb the whole area starting from the top most level.

5th auntie and i are fans of vincci shoes. kekeke.. Both of us each bought 3 pairs of shoes, out of which 2 pairs are of the same design just different color (Yep, both of us bought one design and both white n brown). I love them!

We shopped the whole of tebrau city and 5th auntie found her samsung phone pouch that is like mine. Cheap cheap! Only RM20!

We went back to city square after that to grab dinner.I finally had mary brown. I've been wanting to try mary brown for the longest time coz my mum said it tasted good. nothing like KFC which i absolutely do not take :P I have to agree with her! no oil dripped out when i peeled the chicken skin off unlike kfc. However the fries sucked just like KFC. Can anyone do fries as good as Mac?

Finally after 5th auntie completed one more purchase at Mango, we headed back home. We wanted to take the bus back, the way we came, but the queue was horrendous!! the q was from the bus interchange at the basement all the way up the escalator to the departure hall! no choice but to take the illegal taxi home. at least we can skip the bus queue and head straight back home. S $10 per pax and we were driven in an old White Proto Waja. All the way to auntie's hse at sengkang and mine at hougang. not too bad a deal! Sure hope she enjoyed herself!

Kimochi... & 4Bia 2.. Faint..

Meet nana for dinner and movie at vivo! I missed her alot!

Japanese style cafe, Kimochi, serves nice sandwiches and salad. Nana and I shared a California salad with special japanese dressing, pork shogayaki sandwich (which is stir fried pork with garlic) and the asari soup (clam).

We liked it~! the pork was fragrant and the salad dressing was delicious! we polished everything in just a matter of minutes. whahahaha.. as usual, we bring out the best in each other.

Slight shopping after dinner to digest and make space for my nachos! Sadly, the nachos lao hong (not fresh) one. But hor, as usual la, we cleaned it up just like a vaccumn cleaner! :P

I normally refuse to watch horror movies (ro oso scared) but i cant say no to nana.. yea, i have a weak spot for pretty babes.. kekekekeke.. we caught 4bia 2 which has 5 short ghost story. i wouldnt classify the last one as ghost story coz it was a comedy with no ghost in it! kekekeke.. not too bad la, at least i didnt have nightmares :P

Nana, this is just a once a year ritual hor, the last one i think was last year. so no more ghost movie for 2009 ok?

A Brand New Start....

1st Oct 09, A New Lease of Life! My first day at Microsoft was an easy one. No need to remember names and match them to faces, no need to be scared of talking to the boss.

The whole department is out at Sentosa for the kick off, my boss will only be back on the 12th from his business trip to Hong Kong and Japan, thus only the secretary and me.

Second day was even beta, the secretary was working from home and thus i pop over back to tanjong pagar to join Jonathan and Carolyn for lunch.

This is my desk. it's so small. right now, the red basket is kept in my pedestal. Had to make space for my phone which is huge and the intray has been shifted to my left.

Yea, the table is tiny. From this picture, it is from the left, where the scotch tape dispenser is, to the edge of my intray. Thank god they believe in working paperless. Where can I put it otherwise?

A bright and airy pantry! It's huge with sofa and a magnificient view! I can see the whole of fullerton, the esplanade, the merlion, marina sq, the national day floating stage all the way to the national library! unblocked view! the area of the building where my seat is located, we are able to see the whole of the IR. Wonderful wonderful.. kekekeke... free flow of drinks in the huge huge fridge (funny how i no longer crave for coke even though i can have unlimited ones everyday) and free fruits every morning. On friday, small packets of organic nuts and preserved fruits are available. I took 7 packets coz there were 7 variety! Nice!

Meet ro at bugis after work and we went to tan quee lan street for some wonderful fish bee hoon! not to mention the marmite pork ribs! Thanks to Cat mama who introduced me to this shop. I'm now hooked! Its juz next to the apple strudel shop!

Ro had the fried fish bee hoon.

Sliced fish bee hoon for me :) Fresh and nice! no fishy taste!

Marmite Ribs! it tasted abit saltish but would have tasted wonderful with rice. Yum!

Creamy butter prawns which were fresh but no wow factor..
I'll definitely be back for the fish bee hoon!

Sigh..spent alot on a pair of grey levis jeans today.. Heart pain!
