weekends are so precious for every OL who's working 5 day week, so I will always try to pack it with activities and go out to play!
how I spent my last four weekends:
26 May
finally tried tori king keisuke ramen at 100AM. the chicken drumstick always look so appetizing in photos but I was pretty disappointed after trying :(
the chicken meat was too rough for a drumstick, it tasted like breast meat lor. Very sad, I expected it to be tender. the soup base is also too viscous for my liking, prefer my soup to be less viscous. I will prefer keisuke tonkotsu king over tori king keisuke but my favourite ramen is still santouka ramen @ cuppage! still the best ramen I've eaten! in Singapore that is, Ichiran ramen in Tokyo is a totally different league =p but that's another story for another day
met up with lianny after ramen dinner to put our evil plan in action. say hello to the twinnies, Johnson and Dayne!
lianny and I got the same tee for the guys while we were in Tokyo and devised a plan to let them wear the same tee out without them knowing =p and the story goes like this:
bf wore this tee to my house on that fateful day and I was thinking to myself, omg today is the day we girls can execute our evil plan. SMS-ed the BFF and ask her to get Dayne to wear this tee as well for our meetup later that night. went out with the bf innocently after that, but I can't help giggling everytime I look at his tee or when I am messaging the BFF to get latest update on whether she managed to get Dayne to wear the tee. bf noticed and was asking me throughout the day what I am giggling at. almost let the cat out of the bag haha
imagine the guys' stunned look when we finally met up with each other, EPIC!
coincidentally, they were both wearing berms, loafers and carrying an iPad which makes the whole thing even more corny hahaha. we totally didn't arrange the berms loafers and ipad lor, some chemistry they have ;)
tried out play nation @ scape, played Kinect and wii games like raving rabbids and dance central. the dancing part was funny la, I thought it's slack dancing game but actually really will sweat one. can it be a replacement for exercise? lol
1 June/2 June
switch on a Friday after dinner @ p.s café. truffle fries craving satisfied!
JB on sunday to pump petrol, I also did a gelish classic mani and pedi @ KSL mall for only sgd$70, both are 2-tone somemore. #whysocheapcomparedtosingapore lavender for the fingers and blue for the toes, super love the bling-ness =D
after doing nails and shopping, it's zi char for dinner again!
stuck in a jam on the way back and only reached home 1am with next day a working day o_O told ourselves to avoid going JB on Sunday next time lol.
8 June/9 June
JB on a Saturday for this week, thought we can avoid the Sunday jam but no difference lehhh. explored a different shopping centre this time round, went to City Square Mall instead of KSL.
had our dinner at Canton-I. food is relatively good, worth trying.
we wanted to catch a movie and City Sq JB have Cathay cinemas woo! bought tix for "Now You See Me", the tix price is half of SG movie tix lor, not fair sia.
RM13 for weekend show and couple seat, that's about SGD$5.30 only #howcan. weekend non-couple seat even cheaper, RM12 nia. SG weekend tix with credit card promo or Passion card is at least $9.50 so JB price is very cheap!!!
the movie was awesome! very entertaining with all the "magic" performances and mind blown at the end. love it! and isla fisher is sooo pretty, haven seen her in movies much ever since the Shopaholic movie.
went for massage after movie, chose Thai massage and can hear my bones cracking lol. decided that we are hungry after massage and went for wanton mee supper at 4am, sinful max.
can you imagine as we head back to SG at 430am, there is still a jam at customs o_O so so so sleepy while stuck in the jam but poor baby still gotta drive so I try to stay awake and talk to him to keep him awake lol. felt like my eyes needed toothpicks to keep them open =p
reached home 6 plus and only slept at 7am, cui. been some time since I stayed up so late, now old liao, body cannot take it haha.
15 June/16 June
the legendary closing-down-soon braised duck rice. my 1st time eating here, I really didn't know it existed until recently when news of it closing emerged. the duck is sooo soft and the kang kong is really good as well. yummy yummy.
Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House
38 South Buona Vista Road
Opening Hours: Tue - Sat 10.30am to 8.30pm
after duck rice, it's JB again! exchange rate is really good now at 2.47 and still going up. watched man of steel since it's the blockbuster of the week. went for wanton mee and lok lok supper before heading back to SG, at this rate we gonna grow fat.
thinking of venturing out of City Sq and KSL this coming weekend, maybe Sutera Mall or Tebrau City! can't wait for this weekend to come! new motto in life - work hard during weekdays, play harder during weekends. :)
how was your xmas celebrations? :) christmas 2012 was a simple affair for me, just 2 meetups with the girls :)
14 December 2012 (Friday)
dinner and clubbing session on a lovely friday night :) went for dinner at beer market clarke quay before heading to butter with the 3 sexy babes. we had a good catching up session as some of us have not seen one another for at least a few months!
toilet shot
credits to su for decorating this pic we took at butter. u can tell the rihanna song was her earworm for that night lol.
21 December 2012 (Friday)
this day marks the start of a happy long weekend as i took leave on xmas eve which falls on monday! it is also 冬至 that day and mummy intructed us to be home for dinner. i was sooo looking forward to dinner while i was at work for i know she will cook up a feast! i love homecooked food and i hope i will be as good a cook as her next time =p
lotus root soup is 1 of my favourite soup and is the designated "festive" soup at my house. cny, 冬至, 中秋节, 端午节 will always have lotus root soup lol.
after dinner, we gave the niece and nephew their christmas prezzie. portable cotton candy machine!!! got it from robinsons centrepoint and the machine really works. lol. the kids are super delighted with it and they brought it along for their christmas parties to share the cotton candy with other kids.
22 December 2012 (Saturday)
went for soka discussion meeting in the afternoon before heading to the shoppes at mbs for bf's xmas shopping. he won mbs shopping vouchers from his company's incentive draw and is all set to spend some money!
his 战利品, a free wallet. how shiok!
the evil bf wanted to use his vouchers to buy a ferragamo belt at first but i had already bought that secretly 2 weeks ago for his xmas and anni prezzie. so i roped in my sis to psycho him that wallet is better hahaha. not sure if he got suspicious along the way but he bought the wallet in the end. lol my surprise prezzie plan almost got foiled!
23 December 2012 (Sunday)
brunch with the secondary school girls. it's amazing how after 9 years, we randomly decided to meet up and became closer ever since. lianny and i had known each other since forever so that doesn't count but we were not close to the other 2 girls back in sec school even though we were classmates. ever since our 1st meetup in 2012, the 4 of us have been meeting very often for badminton and makan sessions. we were able to chat about everything under the sun and it really warms my heart. fate works in funny ways hehe :)
we wanted to go to serangoon garden's arbite but it was full so we walked over to wild rocket at myVillage mall instead. we had breakfast platter, mushroom soup and egg benedict. sooo good!
we also did a christmas exchange :)
headed to lianny's house to bake cookies after that, yummy!
24 December 2012 (Monday)
christmas eve!!! bf came over to my house in the evening and i passed him his christmas and advanced anni prezzie! new work belt!
we then drove in to JB for dinner cum xmas countdown at 10 plus. we got lost once we came out of the JB customs as it's our first time driving in ourselves LOL. plus we got no GPS, fail.
went to this seafood restaurant with seaview but it's too dark to see anything nice. at 12 midnight, we were still eating and there were some people playing with fireworks nearby so we got a mini private fireworks display.
food was nice and cheap. we ordered cereal sotong, oysters, bamboo clams, salted egg crab, white pepper crab and kailan.
went for late night body massage and it was so painful :( my masseuse machiam cow, super huge strength!
25 December 2012 (Tuesday)
decided to go shopping on christmas day! bf was bored while waiting for me to get ready so he hijacked my phone and changed my phone's wallpaper to this picture T_T i love the dog, Boo, but bf totally spoilt it for me gua gua gua...
dinner at ginza bairin. we are on a tonkatsu quest!
saw this new brand extension, AT-20, under G2000 catering to the younger generation. not bad leh the clothes, quite nice and fashion-forward! he bought this suit there to attend an upcoming wedding and for work, i like the blazer as there are leather trimmings at the lapel.
27 December 2012 (Thursday)
department xmas lunch at wooloomooloo steakhouse. the steak was highly recommended by my colleague! we had the xmas set lunch that day at SGD$68++ per person. value for money as it's 4-course. food is good, will be back to try their ala-carte signature tomahawk!
asparagus with poached egg
lobster bisque
ribeye
berry cheese dessert
will review this restaurant in detail after i tried the tomahawk! :)
some random photos from the past few weeks:
couple pillowcases from the bff lianny who bought it from bkk (said it's for our new house, still so far away!!! lol)
stocked up apple cider for christmas!
new loots - not a fan of knit but this LB knit top look really glittery so i bought it. very thick material, cannot wear in sg, too hot :( but the top is too pretty to sell so i shall keep it for overseas trips :)
and here's me after a haircut! :) ciao~
