hello. yes i havent been clearing the cobwebs in a while.. been working and travelling (taiwan / penang) and not really hanging out with my pals :( and i seem to have lost myself in the midst of these happenings. can we go back to 2009?

if there's one thing i've learnt in recent times, it's to not make decisions at the spur of the moment.

when two unite

2011-06-20T17:07:00.002+08:00

good pal recently got married. loved the deco, the video montage and the polaroid idea (and the food!).
ken and yt, i wish you all the happiness in the world. (:
my fav out of the bunch of pre-wedd photos.
ps. you know you're of a certain age when your friends start getting hitched/having babies...

also went cycling at ubin some time back. :D pls dont tell the mum.

the view was almost breathtaking (for S'pore standards). the photo does no justice tho.

old quarry. blue waters. click on pic!more good times here.

of road trips and lotsa awful singing

2011-06-05T23:20:00.005+08:00

[its aliveeeee]

some time in April. the (looks like it has became) annual road trip to KL.

my uncle's uber cute doggywas madass tired from working till 3am and still having to drive up to KL before dawn. KO-ed halfway and the dad took over.best tze char in the world yet. at unhygienic alley across chinatown.and best ytf (at cheap and good price) in the world too.apart from the malls, walked the pasar malam too. and who can forget the drinks? learned a few drinking games too.we went shopping / ate pretty much the same food we had last year. so see here for more pics! (:

also attended a friend's wedding recently. in jb. quite a different experience from sg's i would say. attire, food wise.

nice soft lights....

and the couple/xiong dis/jie meis did an awesome-onz entrance dance!

i like what they did to her hair!! pleats ftw!

remember that serangoon house featured in yahoo news? it wasnt as nice as i expected it to be.
and there is this relatively new bistro, im really reluctant to share for fear of it becoming too pops. but anyhows..

they do thai / north indian / western food, with a bar. similar to bar bar black sheep; merry men etc. what works for me is that its literally just a stone's throw away. walk there, walk back. good for metabolism and digestion (: corn was shioks. the brocolli is ginormous! like some mutant veggie.

march promos! heed the alcoholic-in-you's call!

the mum's co had a trishaw+bumber boat ride event that day. so then we got to act as tourists, and some were so friendly, they waved and welcomed us to singapore!our very professional trishaw uncle hopped off his seat in the middle of the road and volunteered to snap a photo for us!

do you know the fire station has been there since the 1960s when there were dirtroads and funan wasnt even built?

longkang cruise after dinner. how to compare with river seine? then the hyper boatman tried to direct a photoshoot. megafail, but 10points to his enthusiasm.all in all, fam time is always good (: more photos, here.

that said, the (night) view was really awesome. esp with the lights turned off..

fortyhands: quaint lil (literally) cafe at tiong bahru.

dont ask me why they sell baos at a brunch place. for the time i was there, didnt see anyone buying any. more people were having coffee and scones/cookies/cakes than brunch. the place was quite dimly lit and makes me claustraphobic.. not very comfy for all-day-breakfast (but thats perhaps cos i dont like to eat in the dark?), but still good to hide from the outside world. will not specially head down to fortyhands though. other reviews...

ps. the new ps cafe is looking goooooooood (:

everyone's doing roundups, so i guess, to summarise 2010...

time has been good, to leave us with fond memories,
time has been a bitch, to run out so quickly.
time has been kind, to erase ~~all~~ most pain,
time has been mean, to wait for no man.

it has been a year of living and experiencing, a year of runs, a year of marriage proposals, a year of trying out different work, a year of kiss goodbyes, a year of break-ups and a year of losing mobile phones (among other things).

i hope 2011 will be like a roller coaster with only the ups built. and i hope you saw some fireworks too.

fffffffffffffff

2010-12-26T09:23:00.000+08:00

this just in. i lost my mobile. who/what/when/where/why/how is a long story. what better time to get rid of all the people i dont contact anymore. the best part? i dont have to feel bad. any recommendations for a new phone?

happy birthday kennnn.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone!

2010-12-14T23:29:00.001+08:00

Sunrise:-
Awakening (physical, mental, emotional), insight, or clarity
Preparing for activity or productivity
The beginning of a phase, project, relationship, or anything that has a life cycle
Nature, natural beauty, God, or spirituality
Consider also what a sunrise means to you specifically, and its context in the dream.

weeeeee :D dawn breaking.... no more scenery photos after cos we were so focused on ~~running~~ walking and the sun was pissing everyone off. despite the video (embedded), it was actually quite a boring journey (companions aside).. at least the pple doing 21 got to see fiona and shrek! one major takeaway - i got more tan!

probably the first and last 42k im gonna attempt. unless i actually train for one. that said, sundown 21k anyone? hahaha.

spruce for birthday dinner (:

the entrance looks a lil like ps @ dempsey. alfresco better than indoors. but we walked all the way from orchard, so aircon wins.

spinach and bacon salad. so gooooood.

signature spruce prawn pasta. i know it looks too green to taste nice, but it is.

signature spruce burger. got it done medium. damn juicy and damn filling.

parisian style omlette. the sour cream inside was shioook. tomatoes tasted nicer than your usuals. but prolly not what i would pay $19 for.

and then we walked to dempsey and then back to wheelock! big o!

baileys + cheesecake. woohoo.

i wanna go back to spruce for brunch!!!!!!! the menu looks uber good *salivates.

the bro's assorted bday cakes from blue magnolia. (: our combined birthday celebration at barracks. love the deco! the male washroom female.truffle fries! with smiley face sauce.

some of the dishes i rmb-ed to take a photo of.

old fashioned american sliders. burgers yummmm. house rib eye steak morrocan spiced baby chicken there was more egg white than cake (as in flour).. which made it super light and fluffy, pity not a personal favourite. the rest were full of praises though. patisserie nonetheless.

barracks was okay.. ambience was superb. cant say the same for service (snottiness was uncalled for).

tell tale

2010-11-21T13:54:00.002+08:00

the mum's company had this mini amazing race thing where we had to drive around to complete tasks all for raising funds for charity. we drove from ~~woodsbridge~~ buangkok green medical park (sounds nice yeah?) to west coast park to upper seletar reservoir park to joo chiat.. we didnt have to do a bungy or unroll hay stacks, hence the lack of photos. but the pre-event was cool - bonus points were given to teams which decorated their cars..

mrs boss and jagaur. doggy was dressed as santa (:did someone say happy valentine's day? this was super ingenious. advertising for their co. while gaining points. dtz i think. nope we didnt attempt.but still won a prize anyways (:
the mum says its cos we wore red -.-"' the organisers were damn good. everything run like clockwork. pity it was just 3 pitstops... and i guess it would have been better if there were tasks everyone could contribute/particpate in. like for the older folks.

2010-11-14T23:08:00.003+08:00

been attending 1 year old birthdays recently.

either they coincidentally got the cake from the same place (pine garden!) or its the trend now...

so cute ah, elmo and all.

when i was one, my cake had the little red indian and i knew zilch about elmo.. my mum said it was the "awfully choc" of 1988.

2010-10-30T22:25:00.000+08:00

strictly pancakes - the pancakes were damn dry in general and they dont taste substantial enough boo. the weekend breakfast looks value-for-money though.

strawberries&co. nicer than the one i had (below), but still.

bananas scotched - too sweet, too dry. plus scrambled eggs (nothing fantastic!), only to cure my crave.

and this from food for thought - queen st. definitely much much better. sinful looking i know :D

HAPPY HALLOWEEN'S!

Pencil: I'm sorry
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm sorry cos you get hurt bcos of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.
Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

all day brekkie at serangoon! how convenient?

eggs benedict: hollandaise and wild rocket mia. smoked salmon smorgasbord: saltiness okay, but could be warmer. and foccacia could do better. seafood pie: good for sharing. did not taste parmesan. fluffiest pancakes ever w berry ~~compote~~ jam: its so fluffy, im gonna die! (but thats about the only redeeming factor) sunny side and bratwurst (oktoberfest anyone!?)

thankeww for accompanying me to the open house! korean stuff, anytime!

and uhhh, it just dawned upon me that we spent 10.10.10 together! (: more photos here.

becos food for thought had a 45mins average waiting time, we gave Cafe Hacienda a go!

predictable, but niceeeeee. the only time whipped cream gets the green light.really good beef quesadillas

classic caesar. the super cold poached egg tasted a bit weird.ultimate breakfast set. runny eggs, sausage, mushrooms, wild rocket..mussels, sotong, prawn stuffed on a 7 by 7 marinara pastry crust pizza. liked how they made the crust!managed by the same people as prive. ambience here (day and night - minus the creepy crawlies; they have a wide variety of alcoholic/non alcoholic beverages, though they werent very generous on the spirits, booo.) sure beats prive, but i think the pancakes at prive nicer!

hand burger at 313. a little over priced for burgers, but worth a try..

duck confit (with mandarin oranges!). interesting. stuffed portbello seemed promising..

the dessert burger. the bun with icing and chocolate didnt make a good combi.. dont try. try the warm choc pot.

and good luck to the *scape. its like another OC. how to survive.. might try raindrops cafe, but it seems like the wrong place to be serving wine..

2010-07-31T13:54:00.003+08:00

tgif, so holland v for lunch! pronounced as mee-kai (: the cakes damn small and ex.

crab and corn chowder. not bad, but gets cold too fast. my grilled dory. more like fried. so-so. pumpkin and chinese greens were passable (they had better be). illy black! cranberry bar. not bad.

nice place to chill. not a place to come if u wanna fill full though. and for that kinda price.. there are better places to go. i was disappointed, but the cute waiter saved the day (my colleague was swooning). tee hee.

apparently 2am dessert bar is damn good for lounging.

death

2010-07-28T13:18:00.000+08:00

Nearly any dream you have that refers to death, dying or attending a funeral, or the like, pertain to change. Most all the time this change is very dramatic and major. It can be change in your life attitude or emotional balance. These types of dreams can also symbolize confronting fear, usually fear of death or change. Since most of use will agree that death is the ultimate change, and many people fear it. Death dreams are generally big changes and should never be ignored. Sometimes they really do signify death! Another possible symbol of a death dream is threat. Whichever suits the dream depends on how well the theme was arrived at. Most death dreams are about major change and not about literal death though, so don't panic if you have one. Just patiently go through the analysis process, and make sense of it.

had a pretty hectic week. the passing of my grandma and having to hold the funeral before the weekend of my cousin's wedding (isit bad luck even for the two words to appear in the same sentence??), the hosting of my hk relatives and their send off, the wedding ceremony and dinner, the association's paintball&prawning event, the world cup and other miscellaneous events = serious lack of sleep. it made friday seem so far away..

they made the cake themselves! damn cool. choc brownie at bottom, orange raisin middle and fruit cake on top. (:the girls.and the guys.my nephewww. and red dynasty.

happiee birthday mummm..

other photos here. we ate so much.. i think i'll need two weeks of fasting (which will just be in time for my cousin's and a friend's wedding). desserts were good, esp the chocolate souffle. quality wise, equinox. variety wise, green house.

going into week 3! 5 more to gooo. probably do hort park some time next week, so wait for the photos :D oh and i need to/will do the australia photo summary sooon!

talk like june

2010-06-06T17:41:00.003+08:00

the family kept rattling on and on about how i always go to such places and not intro them to it. so we decided to visit Riders today, only to miss breakfast cos it decided to pour heavily in the morning! :( so.. we went for brunch/afternoon tea!

death by chocolate w vanilla beans ice cream! you can see the specks of vanilla beans on it! nice...... and the chocolate is not the kind u'll get sick of after eating too much! (kadennn, finally something that matches up to ps cafe's double choc!) bangers and truffles mash w sweat peas! rocket leaves too. not bad.
wild mushroom soup! normal. and could have been warmer when served. i guess, the next time back will be for dinner! (:

okkk back to special k tmr!!

listen like spring

2010-06-05T23:49:00.000+08:00

mbs. everytime someone says this, i'll hear it as "nbs"...

Complimentary olive bread. i thought was choc chips! Grissini Casalinghi aka bread sticks wrapped in parma ham slices Marinara pizzaFiletto Di manzo Al Funghi Porcini aka steak

2nd time at pasta fresca da salvatore. first being for lunch. i would say the place isnt overpriced, and it isnt overly crowded since not many people know about the place. so faster go! (:

other places to try (1) jing (kel!!) (2) waterboat house (3) forlino (4) society bar (5) pierside.. anyone?

walk like rain

2010-06-05T23:37:00.003+08:00

this place looks the same as a year back (see here)...

but this time.. prive!!! :D all day breakfast is worth every second of my awakening moment.

pancakes, strawberries, bananas, fresh whipped cream, maple and honeycomb (like how awesome?!!!!) for a closer look. and u can add additional items like smoked salmon (niceeeeeeee) etc. me added sausages!
eggs benedict, bacon, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce and rocket leaves!
lemon meringue. could never resist tarts.

the bar looks good too! and the apple raspberry jello sounds interesting! another time... okay i just looked back at the Riders cafe breakfast we had. i think the ones at Riders better!!

act like summer

2010-06-04T23:16:00.005+08:00

finally visited everything with fries!!! holland v outlet.you're supposed to choose your mains, then sides (i.e. flavour of fries), and a coleslaw/caesar.creamy salmon in a cup + sour cream&onion fries!the coleslawtandoori chicken sandwich + curry fries + baby caesarpork chop + garlic&herbs friesnutella tart. like bread pudding + awfully choc + nutella! :D
i would give it 2.5/5. my tandoori chicken was ok, but not wow fantastic. salmon was nice, but a tad too little? pork chop was also ok, but i hate the pig taste and hawker fare could do better. the thing that killed it was that they gave so much fries that it became like the mains instead! desserts being their saving grace (hot banana butterscotch pudding w ice cream.. yum.). so i guess the next time, i'll just go for the desserts!

might try mykii the next time im at holland v too.

0805, 1215, 1600: the long walk to the pantry. and it only gets better... wait for it..

my first gelare tuesday waffles! so much for the special k plan. at least now if they decide to pull out of sg again, i'd have tried them!

i wouldnt say its something to shout about. this ice cream was chocolately enough, the waffles wasnt bad but they could have been done better (just a little too hollow for my liking)! that said, ice cream & waffles combi can hardly go wrong.

anyone knows a good pancake stand? a little desperate here.

on a separate note, i need a new camera. disposable income has gone up so its time to get a pro-er cam aka a semi pro. looking at:-

1) nikon L110 or P6000 (s3000 looks not bad for a normal digi). im a nikon fan through and through.

2) canon's powershot S90. jack of all trades. but given the price, i can easily get a tougher semi pro. or SX210 IS. canon's website is so user unfriendly compared to nikon's! too much animations dude. sure its interactive and all, but just keep it simple.

3) olympus pen series looks good too. only becos of their art filter effects. but they dont state the prices.
time to hit the IT fair. u know how much i love crowds.

someone once asked if anything had happened between our meet ups, and i said 'nothing memorable'. on hindsight (30 seconds later), i'd think how pathetic my life was. i should be doing something! [given my motto allegedly is 'one life, live it'.]

now i can yell, it's been a week since down under. loved it there. penguins koalas kangoos and all, but we gotta move on. (oh how i wish i could live there for a while...) one week on, i received news of being seconded to HP (only my fav pavilion entertainment PC, not.) for 2 months. half scared/worried half excited. so there i'll be. while my friends at work alienate me 'cos 1) they'll be temporary taking over my cases 2) out of sight, out of mind. other than cursing at me while doing up the tax comps. not that there will be plenty to do anyways.

i'll get to doing a summary of the awesome trip soon. if u cant wait, go stalk my fb!

okays late nights no good for health. before i snooze at work tmr, ciao~

chanced upon this the other day. all time fav. lurves.

somehow it gives me the same masquerade vibe as the mv below. and i think its really cool to have a violinist in your rock band (which also reminds me of wednesdays at paulaner)!

(no, not back yet. just pre-scheduled the post..)

why and why not

2010-05-02T23:52:00.000+08:00

shopping at e-mart, using the bro's points. how come i didnt know such a place existed! haha it isnt what you might think it is! i want the bag! its damn cool, but i dont need it. but a girl cant have enough bags right...random sky peektures. got this from today's papers-

2010-04-24T22:19:00.000+08:00

have been ~~working too hard; entertaining my dad's aussie friend; reading fiction; watching sitcoms/dramas; and basically~~ being lazy, which explains the lack of entries and the subsequent cumulative photos all in one post.

pool + pool-pro + rocher beancurd & you tiao = back to the ah beng days.and i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me..out of the pan. this crepe serving place at raffles city b1 which has been there for ages but just never really struck me as a good hangout. the food was right and i was wrong (just dont sit too near the kitchen.. the smell.... is not something u wanna be wearing)and tarts from fruit paradise! i want this as my birthday cake *hint hint*.
thxbye.

seafood risotti. only like 1000 times better than cedele's? i have a pretty bad memory of it.

yes thin crust.

marinara panzerotti (mushroom stuffed pasta.. like wanton)

carbonara mee hoon kueh (aka pappardelle)

steak as usual. great sauce.

plans

2010-03-27T23:54:00.003+08:00

authentic friendly jap staff. cute accent.

cottage-like interior. loved the whole setting!

vintage table cloth to add on to that homely feel.
the key reminds me of an episode of kindaichi. hahhah. seafood spaghetti. niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

beef stroganov. runny egg is shiok. plus 28day old brown (salty) sauce. :D

thin crust never goes wrong.

tonkatsu! their sauces v unique! cabbage tasted like pringles!! (good dietary replacement huh)

scotch egg. 4 seemingly harmless halves. its damn filling! low on carbs. :D

mud piee. 4th cake of the week. nevertheless.

the recent entries seem to focus a lot on food. the blog wasnt intended to be a foodie one. but i guess meet-ups (and of cos birthdays) usually are done over meals. so yeahh. will attempt to stick to the original plan of random blogging and v.v. (starting from after the next entry!) stay tuned.

the fray

2010-03-24T23:30:00.001+08:00

ohh. what will i give......

Goodbye my table.
Goodbye my friend.

getaways

2010-03-12T23:11:00.002+08:00

i threw the letter last friday. not... but this is probably how my table will look when that time comes. (compared to this) we were packing our workstations in prep for a re-carpeting exercise.

look at the contrast. the other half of the office (phase 2) and our half. empty desks, sealed boxes, lots of fooling around.only one person is capable of such act.got to leave at 4pm!!! :D what better to do than to hit the bar. crazy hour promo. which was only the tip of the iceberg. read: a weekend of unplanned drinking. ok and also a weekend of midnight movies.

//"Well, I think there is a difference between loving the idea of someone and actually loving who they are." point taken.

gathering no.1: steamboattt @ golden mile.

could definitely do with more types of balls. the soup was damn nice!

work budddddies.

and ah ball-ing for dessert.... the tang yuan's skin super chewy cann. :D gathering no.2: barcelos @ vivo. tropical cheese wrap!
somebody's burger. mr anti-social. the original bunch + the new peeps. i wonder if we'll ever get tired of seeing each other.

ok finally the eating spree has come to a stop.. for now at least. on a separate note, a colleague left us today. dont know the actual story that transpired, but i cant think of anything so serious she's capable of that led to her dismissal. oh wells, guess what they say about the workplace is not to be taken lightly. sad but... life goes on.

of tiny tots and mega smiles

2010-02-21T23:23:00.004+08:00

the association's cny celebration! ultra camera friendly kid.
muahahahah. and more yu sheng.

drunken prawns!! i realised that prawns are not really good to be served during buffets/dinners, cos pple tend to find it troublesome/unglam to peel the shells off, so they dont really take alot = wastageee. pple in haiti no prawns hor.

the bestest buffet cod fish ever. like fresh from the sea.

then 2nd round: gambling den @ ms gan's place.

more fooood. i abstained (except for one seaweed chicken :D )

picniccccc (like finally @ barrage).

the kite which we managed to fly for 15 mins
(30secs per try, times 30 tries) giving up cos no knight in shining armor appeared to help. succumbed to chips, bridge and dai-di. another attempt at creating that effect (someone tell me what its called?) and also in the process doing more damage to the camera's lens.
joan was saying "face/turn there and turn back". took us quite a while to get what she meant. have u ever seen such exaggerating long kites?!

fairways

2010-01-24T23:20:00.000+08:00

crawled out of bed on a sunday morning for this!pancakes!!!!! normally i dont ever touch whip cream, but this one was shiokkk. if only the blueberries were embedded (like cedele's)eggs benedict! mental note to try eggs florentine another time. and the Riders breakfast. you know how eggs are either scrambled/sunny side etc? they call this one "over easy".

there are horses, and then there are horses... (can u see it?)

as usual, more photos HERE! (:

//just brings back memories huh. funny how if i were me then, perhaps the present would be a different one. all these retrospective fluff.

feel the smell

2010-01-16T22:15:00.001+08:00

just last week, the bkk trip! 4d3n.

must never fail to take an above-the-clouds photo. suan lum night market. love the atmosphere at the drinking place.

chatuchak. our singlet store.

getting our nails done.

just in case they get ruined before i get to show them off to u guys.

mbk.

the alcohol is so cheap, it'll be a crime if you gave it a miss.

and back homeeee. boo work.

go see fb for more (foood) photos! (:

neverland

2010-01-07T18:35:00.009+08:00

offroads bistro.

bringing wearing my heart on your sleeve to a whole new level.the only thing good about the photo, is the dirt on the slr.

spudsters! you have to try this. somewhere, somehow.

garlic wings. possibly the best wings ever.

see fb for more photos.

two good things about the place, the non-existent gst and svs charge, and the mad excellent music (personal preferences la huh). service is good (will come round asking if everything's alright etc etc) and bad (the waiter doesnt really know his stuff). and u have to pay for water; and hold your breath when the wind blows. overall, food is "you pay peanuts, you get monkeys" (buttt u gotta try the spudster and wings!).

boys to men

2010-01-04T20:19:00.007+08:00

so the bro enlisted today. it was a whole afternoon affair at tekong. wanted to take a whole lot more photos, but got scared that they would confiscate the memory card if i took photos of some places i wasnt allowed to! so there.

looks like some kind of chalet huh. if only. hahah. oath taking etc. coffee shops. how do they make money when the recruits get free food everyday?sample of their daily meal. it was not bad actually. bet this would be the nicest meal they'll have. last chance for the parents to weep goodbye.and it's gonna be awfully quiet around the house these days....

(cant get enough of my bro? click here)

2009-12-30T23:55:00.000+08:00

meetup. last min partyworld.

4 hours worth of mike hogging.. and non stop LOL-ing (esp bun.. u cant get any louder). it was like as if we didnt have to work the next day.
