Last evening after work, met up with Der at Vivo City. We had dinner at Dian Xiao Er – had Herbal Duck in Dangui, Dongpo Meat & Kai Lan with Salted Fish & Lime.. The Dongpo Meat was very tender and yummy! Thumbs Up! Later we went to Challenger to get a longer Cable for my Starhub.. After that, we went to collect our wedding bands at Lee Hwa, had a tough time deciding wat to engrave as the spaces were limited for my ring. In the end, we just settled to engrave the date only..

Last Sat, we went to Joey Yung’s concert at Max Pavilion, Expo.. The seats were very lousy and were non-elevated. Luckily Joey’s exceptional performance compensated for everything. Joyce and I bought the luminous flash sticks to show our support for her and the whole event was very happening! Her dance moves & Mandarin has improved tremendously! Her voice was powerful & she rocks! She also sang Stefanie Sun & Tanya’s songs. She was great.. wished her concert would be longer though.. dunno when she will come again for concert.. haiz…

Last Sat, after my gym at Great World, Mum came & met up with me for dinner. We had Indonesian fare.. the food is ok only, with free flow dessert..

Sunday, went with Der to visit the venue.. & it doesn't seem so nice as what i've thought.. and it seems so hot on an afternoon.. & if it rains, the solemnization got to be move in.. Anyway we went to shop around at Vivo City for our wedding bands, went to Lee Hwa, Love & Co, Goldheart, Tianpo & finally Soo Kee.. After some discussion and dinner, we went to Food Republic to eat at 'Pu Tian', Chinese fare, as he doesn't want to squeeze with crowd -_-|||. In the end, we decided on the 'destinee' range at Lee Hwa!! Yippee!!!

Yeah, finished with my direct mailing today, will be tying up the loose ends of the promo by this Thurs!! Excited, hopefully the promo goes well as i've put in lots of effort!

Happy Chinese New Year! GONG XI FA CAI!

Though a bit late, but I’m still in time before the 15th day :p!

Argh, stuck in the office on Sat.. sleepy.. last night watched Joey’s Starlight concert in HK’s DVD, this was my bd present last year :p. Wow her voice is so powerful.. she don’t even have any high notes that go out of tune after so many songs.. she can even dance quite well.. ha.. I’m impressed…. I can’t see any flaws in her singing till now.. Plus she is so slim.. *envy* The only thing is all her concert songs and talking are in Cantonese.. which I don’t understand wor..

To recap: -
The Sat before CNY, Der brought me to Sobasei at Fairway. The food was very good as usual.. Then we went prawning.. Saw Xiao Chen Uncle, wished him Happy New Year but no Ang Bao was given.. lolz

CNY eve:
Father, Mum and I went to Tian Jin Lou (Tian Jin Restaurant) at Chinatown to have our reunion dinner on CNY eve..As the roads were closed, we alighted at 2 bus stops away and had to walk a distance to the restaurant. There were crowds in the Chinatown area as anticipated. We squeezed past hordes of people and alas, we still have to wait for the 1st round of customers to clear as we were the 2nd round at 8pm. Anyway, the food is not bad.. except for the Seabass.. as the fish meat is pathetic! Thumbs up for the ‘Pork Ribs’ and ‘Asparagus in XO Sauce’. I simply like anything fried with XO Sauce. Anyway we didn’t shop around after that, only bought curry fish balls for takeaway…

1st Day:
Went visiting to Grandma’s house. No one was around till Sis and family came after half an hour or so.. Later more people came and Der came also.. Mum dragged him to play Mahjong with Uncle and the rest.. he lost $40! Had steamboat after that.. loved it.. Mum does not like to prepare steamboat only can eat at other place.. After that, Der has to go visting to his Grandma’s house so Mum dragged me to play Mahjong. Was the first time that I played without Der’s guidance.. Ha.. Won $20.. actually can win $40 but Aunt thought I don’t know how to play so initially we agreed upon 50% loss & profit.. Anyway it was a good start for the ‘Niu’ Year!

2nd Day:
Had agreed that he will come fetch me to his house. Last min, he told me he’s still playing Mahjong and couldn’t fetch me. He told me to take cab he will foot the bill. But I took bus and I wanted him to come downstairs.. in the end, I realized he’s playing halfway and everyone stopped playing because of me..
After playing, went a short while to visit his Grandma and Uncle before we proceeded to prawning at Lakeside again! This time caught many prawns we had Mee Soto for dinner.. Xiao Chen Uncle still never give me Ang Bao as promised.. hmp!

Last Sat 6th Day:
In the afternoon, went for Body Combat class at GWC.

Der’s mum was suddenly admitted to hospital. We went to visit her at SGH in the evening. She had high blood pressure.. We bought some pears and bird’s nest with rock sugar for her.. But din realized that she couldn’t consume anything sweet at the moment.. Went back to his house to have steamboat.. but there were no fish (my ‘Must Have’ for steamboat).

Last Sunday 7th Day:
Mum asked us to go to Sis house for steamboat for lunch but Der refused. He said he has bought lunch back and he do not like to go to their house! Ok.. so we stayed in his house watched DVD and tv.. till he suddenly developed rashes (on and off for few months liao) and we went to Jurong to see skin doctor recommended by Xiao Chen Uncle.. but it was closed.. we had dinner at the nearby hawker before heading back..

Heard from Der that his Mum’s condition turned for the worse she is in ICU ward now.. Hope she will recover soon.. Der visited a skin doc and was given a few courses of medicine.. he said he’s getting better now..

As for me, I din visit gym for the past 1 week. Lazy and was having menses.... Went to ‘Touche’ at Orchard on Wed and I wanted to get rid of my milia seeds so went for laser burning.. she said try for few for the first time. So now my right side of the face is so ugly with red spots.. she said will go away in 1 week’s time.. Hopefully…

Thinking of picking up swimming again.. checked with a female coach, cost $150 for 1-1 for 4 sessions. 45min/session.. she said best price liao.. is it expensive??

Yeah starting to love prawning and i'm getting better at it.





Hee.. the prawn i caught with Der, PL & J, in Apr at Lakeside.

And last Sun, went with Der to Farmway at Pasir Ris, and i caught almost 10 just for half an hour (share with Der). Then we went to Pasir Ris Park.. saw such a big pond for fishing. Looks so fun. Will try next time if got chance :)

After that, we went to Changi Airport planning to pick up his parents from their holiday in Kaoshiung. Then realise they already have transport. Before that, i wanted to try Popeyes Chicken, as heard raves on it. As we were late, we went to dabao first, planning to eat in the car after seeing them. His mother bought a bracelet for me.. so touched.. she always buy things for me from holidaying. Anyway, i love Popeyes. It was so yummy. Beat KFC hands down haha. But Der thought was about the same. And i love the fries, tasted like twister fries from MacDonalds. Hee.

Dead beat.

Work up at 745 and found myself rather late as usual. Couldn't find suitable clothes to wear. And i really ended up 2 min late in office. Bored. Couldn't wait for time to pass quickly as i'm meeting PL for the Ettusais Make-up Workshop at SMU.

Finally reached the place after getting bit lost. But it was all worth it. Learned quite a lot on skincare problems and make-up tips! Got a complimentary T-zone mask demo and a manicure (though the manicure doesn't turn out nice). Same goes for PL. Quite disappointing. Got a $10 voucher from this workshop so we went to buy their new range of blusher, it's unique as it comes with a puff for $19 (after the voucher). Also got a goodie bag (worth of $50?)... which contains: My Paper, 3 samples of some skincare products, hair perfume, topshop bag, small pillow, notebook.. Oh and i almost forgot, the refreshments! I only like the otah (with mackarel fish), and the chocolate fountain! So heavenly!

After that, went to Plaza Singapura - John Little, The Face Shop, Charles & Keith etc to shop before heading back home. Just before my stop, PL mentioned she wanted to eat the Satay Bee Hoon @ Bukit Timah Market. It brought up my hunger pangs.. wanted to eat the Fried Carrot Cake initially. But my willpower got the better of me. Ate the plain vermicelli soup with fishballs. And no Satay Bee Hoon, PL got a plate of Fried Carrot Cake! After that we down the food off with my favourite Soya Milk! Damn shiok!

~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Last Sunday, met up with Der before heading to Sobasei @ Fairway Club. Didn't know it was so expensive. So we ended up getting the cheapest items on the menu!


My Curry Soba - $14+


His Cha Soba - $10+


My Chawanmushi - Damn expensive.. $8+




Yum!

~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Met up J rather late on Thursday, and we went to Kbox as they are having promotion. Ladies night = Waiver of cover charge for 1 drink ordered. As i need to catch the last bus home, so the session has to end early. Though the session was short, but i enjoyed myself. Hope can sing longer next time though.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Followed my exercise plan religiously. Four times a week. Still hanging on. But i can't control my eating habits. Still eat a lot and ate sinful stuff.. Just like to ask.. are fishballs fattening? Coz i love them and i eat them few times a week. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks.

Gotta oink oink now.. can't take it anymore... And yes, i badly need a shoulder massage! If anyone wants to volunteer, i will gladly welcome with open arms!

Busy.. busy... and just busy... this week.. and think the whole of this month also.. because a new promo is coming up.. i think i'm too stressed sometimes.. like today got a headache all of a sudden at the back of my head. That feeling sucks..

Met up with J on Tues and then went to shop a bit.. went to HK Kim Gary for dinner..

My baked chicken chop with supreme curry in swiss cheese


J's mixed rice


My egg in boiling milk

Guess what, after eating, or during the time i was eating.. i had a bad tummyache.. and i couldn't stand till i ask J to accompany me to the top floor of Vivocity as i need to rest badly.. i couldn't even walk. We finally went to buy some knick-knack stuffs from Daiso.. and shop a bit more before heading home..

** Feel the need to say this to her:'Very paisey, Joyce.. for spoiling your day to shop around'

~+~+~+~+~+~

On wed, Der came to look for me after my work.. bought a fondue set at BIG for $23! It was deducted from the gift card that i won during D&D.Went to eat Yoshinoya.. he had chicken and beef in spicy set, while i had salmon and karage set.. + a potato mix.. yummy.. sat his new lorry home.. it was comfy and exciting (at least)

~+~+~+~+~+~

Here are some clothes i bought during GSS..


Shorts from Nichii - The Fashion City @ Vivocity - $18.40 (after 20% discount)


Top/Dress from Nichii - The Fashion City @ Vivocity - $25.90 (after 30% discount)


Top from Isetan Scotts - $19 (got this in white as well)


Top from Isetan Scotts (Topshop) - $29


Top from Isetan Scotts - $12

Some of you must have realised that most of my clothes are in black.. or rather all, right? But i think black is the safest color and suits me best.. other that that.. i think purple also suits me.. perhaps i should try other brighter colors in future =)

~+~+~+~+~+~

Just to share my new found lemming: Dark Chocolate Ice-cream - currently promotion buy 2 get 1 free for $3.60 @ 7-eleven!
