I'm In love..

With Peixi's DSLR! Look at all the clear nice pictures taken.

PS: The photos taken for my Granny's bdae are by her cammera too! I have resized all of them by 50% due to the large file size. Donald says hi!
Check out his little tush.. Mum says its cute.. 'Qiao Qiao de'

Rascal on the sofa caught on camera

Side view mug-shot..

Caught him lazing around the house after his shower and decided to use hm to test out my camera skills.. His different expressions says it all...

Are you taking photos of me?? I look like a seal here.. Or should I say mermaid?

Someone's at the door! Hmm.. Should I go bark at them? I'm tired though...

Why is that black thingy aiming at me?

Get off my back.. Or else... Dun make me come get u...

Sigh... Mummy, I'm tired after bathing.. Can u please take that camera off my face?

I'm ignoring you and going to bed.. take all u wan! Humph!

Stockpot & Cookie Museum..

Stockpot at the Esplanade for dinner with Nana. A simple and plain looking cafe that can easily be overlooked if not for the fact that it is right at the main entrance of the Esplanade.

Almost empty cafe provides tons of privacy for complains and bitching. kekeke.. yea, thats what we did. Sharing our pet peeves about the various people that happen (unluckily) to be in our lives.

An easy to read menu that shows how each soup, sandwich and salad looks. Helpful for the illiterate. Just point and you have it.

Mushroom Ragout. So much nicer than Soup spoon. Do you know i never take Mushroom soup at Soup spoon anymore? Cause it makes me burp garlic smell non stop after every bowl. Ewww... But Mushroom Ragout from Stockpot? All ten fingers up! Nice! Its topped with raw golden mushrooms that is 'cooked' after being stirred into your hot soup.

Mussels and Clam Chowder. Full of black pepper taste with minimal amount of potato chucks and loads of clam, this soup is a tie with Soup Spoon's Boston Clam Chowder. Probably coz I am not a fan of black pepper.

I like this picture of me. So happy looking right?

The cookie museum we went. For nice tea and cookies. No photography allowed but too bad, we're not ones to follow the rule. English looking decor of the Victorian era. Not too bad if not for the overly talkative waitress. Waitresses there seems to talk non-stop and with an exceptionally high pitch and superbly inquisitive. Perhaps they take the word 'personalised service' a tad too hard.

Tattered menu with faded gold rim cups. They have been around for 5 years. An excuse for the worn out items? I personally feel not.

Cookie Campelli we shared. An impressive cookie tower (Mango, strawberry and the last layer of unidentified cookie) with a bountiful of luscious fruits and fresh cream in between. Accompanied with a dollop of chocolate ice cream.

(Just noticed out arms are both crossed, whahaha.. purely by conincedence).

Polynesian Paradise I tried, a romantic pink tisane with luscious strawberries, kiwi, apple bits and rose hips. A sweet and calming infusion that uplifted my spirits together with the company of a long loved friend. A bed of roses Nana chose, a top favourite beauty tea among ladies that is paired with yellow marigold. Unreservedly the best tea she has chosen and tried till date.

Cheers to the end of year 2009 and a big welcome to year 2010. I am awaiting for the new year in anticipation. What will it bring?

A wonderful end to Christmas Day! (Part III)

Back to the hotel we went, to rest before movie. I know, I am super lazy one lor, keep going back to hotel to rest but so near mah.. why not right? And I get to open my Christmas prezzie before the movie!

Untying the ribbon.

Done!

Now the wrapper...

Albums for my layouts! Nice!!! But something even nicer's inside...

A proposal layout! I duno y but i burst out into laughter. Ro was saying I laugh so loud the whole level can hear me. So he had to wait for me to stop laughing before he read out the journalling on the layout. And hor, he never kneel till I ask him to lor! Sighh talk about romantic. He could have done the proposing at White Rabbit right? So much more romantic but I must say he's so sweet to do this layout. He had to kneel like a dozen times to get the right photo. Whahaha..

Tadah! I DO!!!!

The bling! Everyone please be the judge, he promised a bigger diamond on our 10th anniversary. don't forget to remind me to ask for it hor.

Off we went to end our night at the movies. Alvin & the chipmunks 2! I love the chipmunks and the chippets! They're so cute!

PS: It took me till Sunday to realise what is missing in the proposal. FLOWERS! I wanted 99 roses... :(

Christmas Celebrations Begins Right Now!

My very first time working from home in Microsoft and I overslept! All coz of the nice rainy weather. Jumped out of bed at 10am and on my lappy to start working. Kuku Internet got lost halfway and I had to communicate with Yvonne through the phone. Thank god the problem was solved. Yeah! Early Christmas prezzie for her.

Logged off at 12pm sharp and proceed to bathe my baby. Smelly little rascal was actually quite well-behaved today. No whining and no growling. I manged to bathe and dry him all by myself. Proceeded to vacuum the floor and mop the whole house. Yea, the title of this post doesn't really match what i'm writing now. I'm more of a maid right? But fret not, when I finish all my post for Christmas, you will totally agree hands down! By the way, my baby is such a smart boy can?!? He actually knows which part of the floor is still wet and knows how to walk away from that area, only going back to that area to sit when it's dry! Talk about a smart mummy! I think brains run in my family (ie, Button & I) whahahaha..

Aunt came over with her homemade chocolate bread and I passed her the prezzie. She likes it! kekeke.. so does Mae Sie when she came over after work. Off we went to Punggol Park, Bliss cafe for our Christmas eve Fest.

That's the bar counter that serves the drinks. Many will come for beer and wine.

The ambiance there. It's mainly alfresco dinning. Too bad we didnt manage to secure the waterfront dining area. The shelter has lots of fan and is much more cooling. Its almost always full house on weekend and on public holidays.

The oldies for the night.. whahahaha.. My aunt on the left and my mum on the right.

Mae Sie and I. We took like 5 shots to get it right coz the lamp post behind us keep interfering with the picture, shining light between the 2 of us. Coincidentally, we're both in grey!

Don't ask me why he looks so blur.. Maybe sick of taking photos.. whahaha..

This Caucasian is posing with her mocktail, daydream. kekeke.. She's going to change her hair color soon! This is the discoloration of her hair dye..

Ro with his Erdinger Dark.. Match his shirt right?

The party of 5! Funny though the waiters all keep serving only like 4 sets of cups, cutlery etc. I think Ro's invisible. Thats the huge cheese fondue that we ordered. Madly delicious lor! Impossible to finish if only 2 person though.

A portion of the food we ordered. There's the cheese fondue (comes with garlic bread, taco chips, fries, onion ring, calamari), Cris-cut cheddar fries (Mae Sie & me's fav!), Deep fried mushroom, Chicken Wings, two Christmas set and my Chocolate Dinosaur Sundae.

The main of the Christmas set. Cod Fillet. the fillet's so thick that each of us had a nice serving although it is shared amongst 5 of us. I love cod fish!

The turkey set. The turkey's fat! I still prefer turkey done by my aunt. too bad her oven passed away this year. Let's hope for the best next year!

The dessert that comes with the set dinner. Not too sure what it is but it's super sour!!!!!!!!!!! Wahhh, just looking at it makes all my saliva come out again lor!

A slow stroll back home after the wonderful dinner and Ro didn't even stop me from singing! I'm a happy gal!

Year End Party... Wooo Hooo!!

Two parties in a night! Post bar at Fullerton for pre-dinner drinks, organised by Geoff Thomas (General manager of Communication Sector Asia - a.k.a my boss's boss). The finger food served were great and I guess so were the Mojitos as most of my colleagues are having them.

Introducing my lunch kakhi cum crap buddy.. * drum rolls* Genevieve Ang! Gen for short. A easy going japanese lookalike who hopes to be korean lookalike babe. My boss, Mr Andrew Lin, Business Manager of Geoff Thomas.Talks in a booming voice, a party animal, super friendly and terribly hardworking. Typical words from him are " Jeezz.....", "Hey ANGIE!", " How ya doing?" and "Let's take the stairs up from level 16"..

The three muskerteers. From left: Vincent Sim, Alvin Lim and Andrew Lin. The three bros that never fail to work together, squabble together and have fun together.

And we are the angels of them. From left : Me (reporting to Andrew), Gen (reporting to Vincent) and Jesslyn (reporting to Alvin). PS: Stop staring at Jess's Boobs! Kekekeke..

Outside of Fullerton while waiting for Gen's bf to pick us up. Love the hats? With compliments from Melissa.

Last picture of the party before the men head back to work. My poor boss had loads of stuff to do and cant join us for the other party at 1-twenty six. You guys should have seen the disappointment written all over his face.

Guest appearance starring Mr Rowan Ng!!! * BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE*. So happy that Ro could join us for the party organised by Microsoft at 1-twenty six. Have been wanting to check out the place for the longest time. FOC leh, why not! Picture of Ro taking part in the team beer drinking contest. Dont ask me who his team members are. I have absolutely no idea. I only know the guy in white is the waiter who was forced to participate by the lady beside him. In any case they won! the $50 vivo voucher is still sitting in my wallet.. kekekkee..

All in all a fun night out. (PS: the food sucks in 1-twenty six). kekekekeke..
