Yesterday celebrated Tsianhwee's birthday! We celebrated in advance cos I am going overseas and wun be back until Xmas eve. LOL... Went to Mushroom Pot for dinner ....
Overall food was nice. Soup was good, the mushroom soup.... the mala one lose a bit to chuan yi pin.... chuan yi pin one taste more spicy and nicer... Mushroom was fresh and quite nice to chew. The rest of the dishes oso quite fresh...
Ambience was great! Variety wise ok lah.... quite a lot... got a few cooked dishes.... if you want noodles oso have.... i liked their mantou... nice with condensed milk... weird combi but nice =)
We also bought him a wallet from The Wallet Shop... Hopes he likes the present.
Then we went over to Marina Square to watch the movie... The Day the earth stood still. Its the first day of screening! =) The movie got one part quite funny... a chinese conversation by the angmoh actors... they sounded so funny... haha...
Ending sucks however.... its like dropping the standards of the whole movie... overall can watch but i seriously hope they can make the ending nicer.... it ruins the whole movie....
Went to Selegie for some soya bean milk and youtiao b4 driving home after that.
Went out on Wednesday with my parents to Centrepoint. Had lunch @ The Eastern Restaurant.... for xiaolongbao and lamian... xiaolongbao okay... lamian not too impressive but still ok to eat... still preferred the one at Marina Square better. =)
Went to meet Weiqi at Toys R Us after that. Went to eat at Secret Recipe during his dinner break.
The soup was good... but I suspect its from Campbell can de.... smells the same. Steak ok. Main character is still their cheesecake. Nice. I ordered a set meal. =P Quite full after the meal.
Haha.. Weiqi, please remember to do my enrolment leh! LOL.. My future is in your hands!
Went to LaoBeiJing with Weida. He didnt want to take a picture so dun have his photo here! LOL...
We went to Plaza Singapura initially.... den they told us their restaurant is full.... Its the $10.20++ Buffet.... But its hi-tea buffet..3pm to 5pm... they say need wait till 330pm...
Btw, you cannot make any reservation if you have a group smaller than 6 before going there.... and you have to register with them at 2pm on that day itself... so as to get a queue number to get in to the restaurant at 3pm. Sounds like some free food affair again...
Den we decided to head down to Novena outlet instead.... haha.. wait for abt 10 mins...
Reached there... weida say we here for some "gian peng" outing.... cos you have to share the table with about 2 other groups... =X Cos their restaurant is extremely full de.... They have like a table for 10 and you share the table... =X ...
And den u have to see the queue to take your food... juz like some gian peng people queueing up for food.... diaoz... we queued too... Nothing much.... the queue was only for about 10 types of dishes....
You can order 6 types from menu.... so it has less than 20 items for you to eat! Xiaolongbao and a few others.... the rest have to queue up and take..... Worst thing is you reach there...not necessary have food... cos some are empty.. not much food to eat...
Anyway, thank god the xiaolongbao can order many times.... but den their lamian is seriously not impressive at all! =X Looks like shit.... =X Not nice.. one mouthful only... we were tinking of some nice lamian.... =X...
The dim sum generally standard not bad... above average... but den.... limited variety.... poor service.... poor ambience.... bill came up to be $13.50 per person... Not too cheap given the variety. Thumbs down!
Please do not get the impression that there is a lot of food... These photos contribute to about 90% of what they have for their buffet... So you can see how limited the buffet is....
Perhaps its the school holiday.... tats y so many people.... but den.... eh.... the way the buffet runs.... 3-5pm... i dun tink i would visit them anytime soon...
Weida suggest we go back to miramar hotel for the dim sum buffet...wich has nicer desserts, dim sum and porridge at $12.80++!
Have been going out these few days.... Friday went out with Weida to Expo to collect his Standard Chartered Run Sports Kit for the upcoming run. Sometimes I wonder, why Singaporeans are so free.
As first I thought they are just giam peng.... queuing up for hours to get a free sports kit.
Asked weida and he told me you have to pay $75 to participate in the run! WTF!!! Somemore you need to queue hours (we queue half an hour for the second day) to get a sports kit for their run.
I mean its not even entertainment or what. And you actually pay to suffer? I wonder... If you have spare cash, please give it to me! LOL... Weida and Pengyong, i dun understand you worh..
Anyway, ate at Malan Lamian for lunch.. den we went to century square to catch the movie "Four Christmases"... nice movie.... funny... interesting plot.... good to go! =)
On Saturday night, went out with Peizhen they all for a spin.... LOL... I am the driver... =) My car's going for a scrap soon.... have to take some pictures to remember this car! Haha...
We went to Old Airport Road Hawker Centre for Wanton Mee!!! =) Have been going there quite frequently of late. We ordered Satay And Oyster Omelette And Sugarcane drinks to share =) Wanton Mee I like de... Satay was above average. Oyster Omelette average i guess?
Had a nice time sitting there.... chatting and eating dinner!=)
Then we went for the crazy car park photo shoot of my car.... OMG! My poor car... My poor car must have been very unhappy....
And as usual, Jesmen is the one coming out with weird weird poses for us to pose for the car picture series. OMG! Some of the poses are beri hard to make okay! We spent about 1 hour at the car park doing this! =X OMG!
Spin around Singapore lor.... Bukit Panjang > Orchard > Toa Payoh > Serangoon > Old Airport Road > Serangoon > Jalan Kayu > Punggol > Bukit Panjang WOW....
We went to Jalan Kayu for supper, roti prata of course, after dropping Rayson at his home in Serangoon... =)
Anyway, it isnt without incident when parking at Jalan Kayu. LOL.. Decided to slot in since its the only lot.... but i didnt park in properly... too close to the left kerb...
I mount kerb while parking the car.... LOL.... front left wheel went up.... den the rear left wheel.... den reverse back.... rear left wheel went up... den the front left wheel... haha... den we were like slanted in the car...
Oh no... but quite fun... they actually asked me to mount kerb once more... OMG! Wich I didnt! LOL...
Drove Jesmen back to his home at Punggol before sending the rest back home ... by the time reached my home was 3am.... slept at 4am! LOL....
Had a nice time gg for midnight spins! Anybody want come with me? Before my car gets scrapped.. LOL... dun really wan go for a spin with new car... scared crash! LOL...
Anyway, went out with Kiat Loong, Jonathan and Kwok Yann to watch "Body Of Lies" at The Cathay on Saturday night before the car outing with Peizhen they all.... Havent met them for quite a while liao....
Quite a long show.... urmz.... dun really like the plot.... can be boring sometimes.. its a show casting Leonardo DiCaprio.... about terrorism and this crazy american guy from american authorities trying to track down the terrorists... and almost got himself killed.... =X
Before that we ate light teabreak at the cathay basement... ordered taiwanese chicken from shilin snacks and a drink from Man Lei Yuen.
Anyway, I wonder something... Is Astons at The Cathay really good? I havent tried it.... I see long queues on weekends.... weekdays packed....
And the way they queue up... its like they are queuing up for free food..... Haha... wich definitley isnt...
Sometimes i wonder why singaporeans love to queue so much.... shall try it one day.... on weekday of cos.. anybody can tell me how nice the food is from Astons???
Anyway, the queue is from its East Coast Outlet. This is somewhat similar to The Cathay outlet! Long queue...
Hey people.. the food is not free leh... why queue until like tat! LOL... somemore restaurant leh... shouldnt restaurants be free of people.... have more space and quietness.... and let you enjoy in full air-con blast???
Yes. Its another MARINA Outing! This time its the Singapore Flyer & the Marina Barrage.
My Australian cousin in Singapore now! My parents decided to show her around in Singapore and brought her to take the Singapore Flyer today!
Now NTUC Club Member having promotion.... For $21 you can buy a Singapore Flyer Ticket & A 1 Way Hippo River Cruise Ride from Clarke Quay to the Flyer. (But you have to buy the ticket @ Downtown East) Went there last week to purchase the tickets =)
Early morning went to fetch her. Had lunch at Central, Kyomomoyama Restaurant. Food was fresh and nice, service was excellent except for the lack of food variety in the menu! LOL... Worth trying it! Quite budget for restaurant dining.
$67.30 for 4 persons. Ordered its curry katsu don set with a free icecream dessert and miso soup. =)
Took the cruise over to Singapore Flyer. Can view the Singapore River and the bridges and buildings along the CBD area.. quite a good ride for a 1st timer and of a course a tourist as you do not have to walk! LOL... Ex though. Lucky it was complimentary with the tickets from the Flyer we bought.
Was too early for the ride and we walked over to the Esplanade for some shots! Before my dad and brother joins us for the Flyer ride. LOL... Oh...reach liao.... we took the flyer... =)
Nice spectacular view of Singapore. =) Except for the upcoming IR construction that makes the view unsightly, overall view of Singapore quite nice =).. can see quite far! =)
Nice 1st visit to the Flyer! Was my FIRST time on the Flyer too! Overall experience quite fresh and brand new. Hope the London Eye would be nice too when I visit London end of this month!
Dad decided to bring us to the Marina Barrage later on in the day! Nice view of the Flyer from the Barrage. Brother didnt join us though.
Water looks dirty!!! OMG! Imagine this water you gg to drink it in few years' time! OMG! Its brown!
Some people mistook the sea water as the reservoir side when the dirtier side is our upcoming reservoir! LOL....
Went to Woodleigh Park for dinner.... juz a steak from a canteen of my dad's company's clubhouse.
Sleepy... OMG! Slept 6 hours only prior to this outing! Reached home at 3am today! And slept at 4am.... Woke up at 10am today!
Hope my cousin enjoys her stay in Singapore and enjoyed the day to the Marina Barrage and Flyer outing we had arranged for her to visit today!
Went out with Peizhen they all last night... drove out to eat prata and all.... will update pics in once they send to me =)
Went out with Shaun, Kenneth, So, Junda, Weizhong and Matthew on Sunday! Met up to eat Seoul Garden.... Seoul Garden... used to frequent it quite often in the past. Now not that much!
Anyway sunday quite ex lah...not worth it.... compared to weekdays afternoon... u know wad i mean..... the privilege of showing ur student card to the staff and get away with cheap discounts! =)
Thankfully got 10% off for being Seoul Garden Lifetime Member. Strangely they didnt even check my card! LOL... Last time still have to quote my IC number. Haha.. Had a nice time there chitchatting for an hour plus.... =)
Then we went over to Cine to watch City Of Embers! Movie can be thrilling at times. But overall plot quite ridiculous to me... y would a clan of modern people day live below the mountains for hundreds of years... only to find out they no longer have electricity in the dungeon and could not even escape the city because they dunno how to exit the city! Not beri gd. Good to watch if bored.... But bad if you are expecting some good weekend outing.
Went over after tat to Far East Plaza to eat Chicken rice for dinner.. oh no... again in less than a week... the expensive chicken rice... nice to eat.... bad to pay.... lol.... i still prefer one person deal.... this pic was taken on my last visit. when u have more people... i hate those centralized plates when they have drumsticks and all those side meats tat i do not eat... all bloody.... i scared to eat..... =X
Anyway, dad has decided to scrap away the Nissan Sunny Car after 8.5 years. He has decided to change his car to Toyota Corolla Altis! Sad... He say only 1 car... haha... so only weekdays and sat night and sunday can drive out nia.... =X
Anyway, dad told me to go out for more spins.... to better my driving skills... in case i go and crash his new car.... lol.... so far my old car ah.... urmz... slammed the ears (front right mirror) twice.... once towards other people's van during parking and once towards the walls, oso during parking. Thankfully ears not hurt! LOL..
Went out yesterday to Compass Point. Walked around. Quite long never go there le... Tried this new fastfood restaurant, called Curry San... the beef was nice..tender.... =) Miso soup nice =).... $10.70 for tat set with a miso soup, coke and the curry chicken rice.... =)
Today early morning went for my kwaychap breakfast at toa payoh! I am simply lovin' it! =) I think I like their small intestines and pork skin best =) $5.60 for the meal below.... =) 2 person set with $1 extra pork skin.
Oh no.. the monkeys are back at my garden... saw 12 today.... amazing! So many.... used to see about 8 - 10. Now its 12! -_-" .... Oh no... thankfully they are at the blk next to mine.... if my blk den damn sian.... imagine walking home and have to siam them... cos they will snatch your food.... and urinating and shitting at your doorstep! The monkeys are on the middle right side of the picture.
50% of my results came out today.... Prices & Markets PASS (58)... Market Research DISTINCTION (78).... kinda sucks when you know the marks... i am 2 marks short for both modules to get an upgrade to credit and high distinction... =X
WHY!!! Anyway, i fear for the worst tml when all the results all out.... Employment relations which i failed the project.... and History Of Management Thought where i barely pass the 50% by 1 mark. =X OH NO!!!! SAVE ME!!!!
