Day 40 Sunday, 9 Feb 2014

Steamboat at Kat's place!

The variety is lesser this time but I think is better because we always over buy then we always cannot finish the extra food.

Gambling!

Cannot miss out 'louhei', right? And this could be the last one this year...

I'm so tired... I want to rest more before the valentines day craze starts tomorrow.

Tifa is such a darling today... don't know why... she keeps coming up on the bed and sits beside me... gets me to sayang her while she just stays there.

She really keeps sticking to me... even while I was putting lotion on my face, or removing nail polish. She will watch me, then jumps down from the bed and lay down beside me. Or even cuter, sit beside my feet and watch me...

Supper! Boyfriend made this! Yogurt with granola and honey syrup. Very yummy! 

Had too much food today, so we decided to get something light.

Although initially, mine wasn't that sweet and I asked him why the honey taste like there but not there until he showed me his bowl. His bowl got more syrup lo! Made him exchange bowl with me. Hmph!

Day 39 Saturday, 8 Feb 2014

A war just happened at my relative's place. LOL. Yearly affair... I always make sure I'm not opposite certain 'war-starters'.

Huat ah!

Shabu Sushi

Meet up with Sarah and Ah Long today for steamboat buffet. We are finally using our Groupon vouchers before it expires next week.

Shabu Sushi

Got quite a good variety of cooked food too. 

Just note that this is a halal steamboat place, so there's no pork. Most importantly, you don't have to leave your seats too often to get food. The raw ingredients for steamboat passes by on the conveyor belt, just take what you want.

I kept taking broccoli. LOL!

Hong Kong Sheng Kee Dessert (香港盛記甜品)

Sat down for #desserts after some shopping around, feeling very thirsty after the steamboat... 

And I have already collected my 10 days power pack samples from Clarins.

Okay. I have another 'getai' to rush to later. Got to get ready~

Chu Er

Ready for CNY visiting! I put on some lipstick today, which was bought long ago. I wanted to get rouge lipstick but boyfriend says it doesn't suit me. Oh well...




So here's my outfit for today!
Knitted top from Taiwan. Red skirt pants from China bought online. Rebecca Minkoff bag. Converse sneakers.




Luckily, a lot of relatives that I didn't like were not there. But Mum is trying to make me join their gathering tomorrow. Must find excuse to 'siam' and leave early!




Buffet at Melting Pot, Holiday Inn!

Sis cleared out the salmon sashimi and she proudly say that she got leave 2 pieces for other people behind her at the queue. Lol! Because I told her to take for everybody, so ok la, she did her job well. *Giggles*




My happy main! Hahahha! Cute hor. The steak not bad but must choose, some parts very tough.




I 'chope' the dessert even before I'm done with the mains. I very scared they will run out of the chocolates ones then I don't eat cheesecakes!




Made my own Cold Stone style ice cream. Mixed brownie, chocolate chips and chocolate syrup in chocolate ice cream. Not bad but very sweet.

My Aunt was saying that my Dad likes playing with kids a lot, he keeps playing with my nephew. Then they look at me... ??? Haven't get married yet, want me up level liao. Straight away give birth ah? So my Dad got grandkid to play with?

Win liao. -_-"

We had our YuSheng. My nephew very cute hor! Huat together with us. Haha!




Little Lucas very cute hor!!! He suddenly decide to join the front row and squat together with us.

I have to say that he is very pro at photo-bombing too! You really can't be angry with him. Haha!




The cousins. This pic also kenna photobombed. Every photo got little Lucas. Haha!

Chu Yi

My relatives came over to visit. (Ps. I woke up at 3pm because I slept at 6am) So we chit chat a little...

I'm going to see them tomorrow again, no pics with them today because I don't have any make-up on.




My nephew kept rolling around on my bed. I dunno why. My bed must be super comfy la. Hahaha. My cousin's girlfriend was here too, nephew kept going out to lead her back to my room and then continue to roll on my bed until the girlfriend disappears again. And then he goes out to get her back again. Lol lol. Very hum sup hor?




Dinner!
Black pepper chicken, steamed fish, ABC soup, stir-fry leek and lettuce. Yumz!

I ate quiet a lot yesterday... even had some Mcdonald's for supper... I was worried about my weight. I stood on the weighing scale. I was at least half kg LIGHTER. Wth?

Ban Leong Wah Hoe

This tulip smells like honey!




Early reunion dinner with friends because some of them couldn't make it on weekends, we had to make it after work.




Had the usual prawn paste chicken!



Egg tofu with crabmeat. Not bad.

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.

It's good that we have people who takes the effort to stay close together. People who plans and initiates activities and people who puts their time aside to be a part of it. =)

company dinner at straits kitchen

Company dinner at Straits Kitchen! We couldn't get any tables at Carousel, so we have to make do with it here.
There's only 3 of us in the company anyway, easy to arrange la. Haha!

Look at the spread!




Malay food.




Indian.




There are also stations for laksa, satays (omg, I never take satay), otah otah and some bbq food. Rojak too, with the goreng pisang station behind. The goreng pisang is nice, ok? Too bad I never take photo of it.




All the kuehs.




More desserts.




They have ice - cream flavours like durian and holicks, no chocolate.




The partners weren't here yet and so we started with some desserts. This is the sweet tapioca in syrup.




Muah chee is not bad.




Still hungry after dessert. Heck care about the partners already, we started eating without them. Chilli crab!!! Omg! This shall be my main!
Average la. As long as it's crab, I'm happy. (I'm so easy to please. )




The joy when I found another crab dish at the Indian station. Lol. Ok la, this one is cook until. No meat one. Curry is nice by the way.




Tried the kuehs. I like the brown and green one. Yellow one is... meh... The cheng teng hor... the sugar they add until like it's free one. I add so much water inside.




Although I didn't get to try a lot of the food (don't know why eat so little bit feel full liao) but I think the best station award goes to...

INDIAN FOOD!!!

Christmas Potluck

Potluck at Kat's place!




I prepared tomato curry pasta and ham, tomato & cheese egg. I think I over estimate already. >. <




So much food.




And many many presents!




This is how I wrap the presents this year.




Got ice cream cake!




Om nom nom nom...




Thank you, Geri, for the yummy cherries!




Thank you everybody for the presents! I love them all!

Eat: Itacho Sushi

Stepped into Itacho Sushi for the first time.




I was quite intimidated by the prices on the menu. One piece of sushi can cost like a $10 or even more. Oh wow... The ingredients must be super fresh from Japan. They do really have a lack in service standards here, pay so much but you don't feel like you are being served properly. 10% service charge of the total amount of food ordered? Seriously, their service needs a lot of improvement.

Mentaiko egg.




Chawanmushi with Crab Meat.




Swordfish with truffle.




Salmon sashimi.




Fried tempura.




Scallops! I love the scallop sushi, naturally sweet and oh-so-melt-in-my-mouth. If I ever do come back again, I'm only going to order the scallop ones.




Happy Birthday, Helen! Although it doesn't feel like we're celebrating your birthday today.
