Good Food in Singapore

9 days in Singapore, taken too much things that I can't recall them chronologically. >.<

The good this is, I didn't gain weight. I guess it's because I walked a lot. Walked to the MRT station, walked back to the hotel, walked to the office, walked to look for good food, walked in shopping MALLS.............

The pictures of many many types of food begin~~~

Flying to Singapore

Two weeks ago, I was sent to Singapore for a business trip. There was one colleague in Singapore branch on annual leave, so I needed to be there replacing her daily tasks.

Since my uncle, sister and friends are in Singapore, I requested my company to let me fly there 2 days earlier and back to KL 2 days later. So I was there for 9 days, I would say, it was fun!








I was hoping not to exceed the weight limit and I was accurate and lucky ^_^








There was too much turbulence and I got sick.
So I ran into the toilet...... *puke*








Flying to Singapore was less than an hour. So the feeling was like once the plane flew off, in a blink you're landed again. LOL

Once I reached Changi Airport, I got a cab (can claim~~ :D) and went to uncle's place. It just took about 30 mins. Unlike here, from KL to LCCT, takes an HOUR!

It was about 2.30pm when I got there. So I rested, watched mio TV (trying figure why is it so famous since I'm doing translation for it every working day =.=) and took shower.

At around 6pm, we went to Aunty Cherry's house in Pasir Ris Heights, to celebrate Johan (his son) and Jun Arn's (cousin brother) birthday.






My seat. The dining table was nicely decorated.








Spaghetti with meatballs.
Delicious!








The famous ERP from "Money Not Enough"... HAHA!








The next day (8/11/09 Sunday), I went to the office (Bugis) at 6 in the morning to get myself familiar with the system, so that it would be smooth to run everything the next day.

After work, uncle picked me up from work and brought me to church. About 2pm, I met my sis in a building in Orchard Road... Can't remember what it's called.

Then she brought me to VivoCity~ The place where you can catch a cable car to go Sentosa Island.






Walnut Rocky Road from Swensen's.
All thumbs up!!








I just want to eat it again~~
Although it's very fattening.
I hypnotized myself it wasn't fattening. :P








Etude House in Singapore.
More expensive to buy the products there.








Didn't manage to go Night Safari cos no one wanted to go with me :(
Lucky enough I went to The Pet Safari. LOL







Daiso Daiso~
Bought nothing. HAHA







MPH... or is it Page One??








Dinner at RamenTen
Nice chandeliers and wallpaper.







This this this this one was sooooooooo delicious too!!!!







See!! See!! See!!








Curry Chicken Katsu








Left only the shells....







We were so full, we had to walk around.
So we went to Giant, both of us had to stock up some food.
Saw these cute cup noodles for kids.








The YMCA in front of uncle's place.



Back to uncle's place.... so tiring~








Pool side~







That night itself, I went to check-in to the hotel...
So.......... "China".... LOL








These were the statues that made me thought there were people sitting there every morning when I was waiting for the cab.... >.<







Fountain in the lobby







With Koi fish...







I was staying in 7th floor.







Mirror and flowers???? wth







And I got 2 beds in my room...
Room number 714.







It's such an old hotel... creepy to me too.
I didn't off the lights when I went to sleep every night...







The hotel, picture taken from the pedestrian bridge






Overall, the hotel is ok. The location is the best. It's in Newton. Bus stop is just right in front of the hotel and MRT station is just 8 mins walk away. Taking bus, you'll reach Orchard Road in just a few stations. I guess that's the reason why the cheapest room cost $280 a night.

The house keeping is quite good, very clean. But the sheets and beds, I'd say, it's time to change to newer ones. The biggest problem staying in the hotel is sound proofing. Anyone next doors or above or below turns on the tap, I could hear the running noises of water. Ohmigosh!! That's really annoying. Even this noise could be heard, what do you think about phone ringing, people talking, door opens and closes?? Grrrr... that annoyed me the most la.

But lucky that I woke up at 4am every morning, until 10pm the earliest only I got to sleep (lepak here and there). So by the time, I was already very very tired and could fall asleep once my head touched the pillow. LOL.

Ciao for now~ continue again next time~~

Visit to Chester

4th of June 2008.

After we settled down in Liverpool for a couple of days, we went for a day trip to Chester. A town nearby Liverpool. It was part of the Summer degree programme for us. They called it as social activity of something.

In the morning, we gathered downstairs Marybone, that's where we're living. The university arranged some double-decker buses as our transport.

Off we went and enjoy!~~






I saw this stall selling roast pig right after we reached Chester.








It's a church if not mistaken. LOL
Chester Cathedral.









The Dean of Chester Cathedral and Capital Bank.








Guess we've found a superwoman...
She's the best street performer!!
Bravo Jane!!









With some sort of monument.
I'm a lousy tourist. :P








Love the blue sky and white clouds.








You get what I mean???








Mail!!








The weather was very good that day.
We got tanned. ^_^








I was in Mc Donald's. :D








I prefer to walk in the shaded part. >.<








Oooo.... a river for canoeing~








And it was darn expensive!
Plus, the river looks like Teh o' ice limau. LOL








It was a sunny day.
Yes, it was considered as sunny in the UK.








City sightseeing bus~








Spotted some cute boys.








And this is their teacher!
Why didn't I get a teacher that willing to dress up like this when I was young??!!
T_T








Oops... sengit ady >.<








The flat 32 girls again~~








tired of walking, so we just sat by the street.








It was another fun day I believe... cos I can't remember everything on this day >.<
Memories are getting worse, even Tanakan can't help me?? Oh no!! Maybe I'll have Alzheimer disease in such an early age.... :-S

Bye for now, ciao ciao~~

Our dear Lulu

Sorry for this very late entry. I was away in Singapore (a business trip and also leisure), I wanted to blog, but I had some hard time with the computer. But here I am again, safe and sound back to KL.

*******************************************************************************

Lulu is 13 now, in dogs' age, she's consider very old. You can just times 7 and get her age in human. That's old right??

However, she's still young in her mind. She has better appetite now and eats more than when she was younger. She whines everyday at 5pm to go for a walk. She doesn't know what's the time, but she can tell by looking the sky? Cause I've noticed one day she whined at about 7pm, that day was raining. :) She's just smart as she is.

Recently, we found that there is something wrong with Lulu. She will bang her head to the wall, the gate, dog cage, even on ME! When I give her treats, she can't see it, she will just smell everywhere until she gets the treat. There was once, she was going to her 'toilet', looking for a spot to do her business. She walked and walked and walked, she just went straight to the wall and banged. Poor thing...

Sometimes I find injuries on her nose, face and body... she's hurting herself with all the accidents she has gone through... Mom and I assume there's something wrong with her eyes. So we brought her to the vet.






It has been so long since the time she sat in a car....
So she cuddled next to mom's leg








After seeing the vet, Lulu is tested with cataract in both her eyes. That's the reason why she keeps banging here and there because her eye sight is very very blurry. Poor thing... Awww...
We asked whether any medication could be done for her and the only choice is operation. The operation will cause a few thousands, have to take out her lens and "polish" them. If anything goes wrong, she'll go totally blind and M'sia doesn't have the technology yet to do anything better for her.

So mom and I decided to just let her be how she is. The vet also said, Lulu's lungs and heart are in very good condition. For her age, it is the best thing for her though she can't see clearly now. But it's okay, as long as she's not suffering of anything.





On the way back, I carried her to let her sit on the cushion.
She seemed nervous here.








But later she relaxed.








And cheerful! ^_^








After we got home, we brought Lulu and Brownnie out for a walk.
This was after the walk, she looked so tired but happy.







See how she dragged the leash on the ground... LOL

video







And this is how she asked to go for a walk everyday. ;)

video



Both Brownnie and Lulu are getting old everyday. I know they're going to leave us one day and I hope that day would be very long later. I've never separated with them for long, I'm with Lulu since I was 10, with Brownnie since I was 14. I just hope for the very best for them, no sufferings when it's time for them. I love them a lot. ♥ ♥ ♥

Ciao for now~

The last happy weekend....

Last week was just like riding a roller coaster and I feel into a deep hollow. I'm in the process of climbing up now, but for the past few weeks, obstacles had been occurring. Even today! Sigh..... Why am I the victim still?? Like salt sprinkled on my wound. T_T

Where's the mercy???!!!!

Remembering the few weeks ago, in a wonderful Saturday.........







On the way to 1U in Zoe's car.
I looked happy, but questions were already in my head....









We first went to eat at this Nippon Yataimura Japanese restaurant.
Saw in Rachel's blog last time.
The cute Civet on the wall. ^_^








Japanese lanterns everywhere.
They remind me of the lantern in Pearl Tea stall. Hahaha~








A row of lamps. =.=








Jenn: Emmm... the noodles I ordered should be tasty~ :)








Why so long????








Still not here...








YAY!! It's here~
This is Prok Mayo Ramen.
I rate..... 4/5. ^_^








Zoe had ramen+rice+gyoza set.








I asked her to give me a hungry expression, ended up an annoyed face.
You failed! *as a poser*








When we asked the bill, we were shocked! Not too expensive, but it's still in a record that it's the cheapest bill in our dining in 1U. You say cheap or not???!!!

Then we retreated to Etude House and Kitschen. Sounds like kitchen only.... hahahahahha~






Magazine cover~








Cover #2








Cover #3. Na na na, don't jia jia then kiss me ar~








Ooo~ I like their big big mirror~








Kitschen is another paradise~ I can get pants/shorts that fit my big hip!! Woot woot!! Yay~~
So.... it's another blood splashing shop =.= I'm dead because of splashing blood in there... vampires should be loving me in there. hahahahah~ I bet Lesley would be jealous by then LOL

We later then went to The Curve! To meet Ra Chel Chel~ So surprised us!!! Or me!!
We went to makan in Paddington House of Pancakes~






See!! These are not "toy bread" selling in pasar malam or Living Cabin you know~
These, these precious buns were baked by Chef Rachel!!
Awesome right?? Names written on it too~~








Zoe and me busy taking the pics, and Chel Chel busy snapping us taking pics >.<








Posing with my buns~








Uh... passion fruit citrus fruity~








Kids bugger!!
This is soooooooooooo DELICIOUS!!
I rate it 4.5/5!








This is called pot of gold~
Not bad too.
Way to eat it: 1 dollar pancake+ice cream+chocolate syrup+marshmallow+maple syrup.
SLURPPP~








Chel Chel's dessert, it's sinful!!
But we kept telling ourselves while gulping spoonful and spoonful, it's not fattening, it's not fattening~~~








Hehehe... for the sake of fun to take this pic :P








Gigi rosak after consuming too much of sweets~ >.<
Pain pain~~~








I was trying to show the expression of "shock".








Chel Chel~~








The 3 of us :)








The fake nails I bought that day, only RM19.90.








Nice?? Please say yes.
No need to tell me if it's not. LOL








Ho... I've found more make-up accessories for myself.
Am I turning into those Taiwanese girls???
No... I don't want to~~~ No~~~ I don't wanna be "Hei she hui mei mei"
Arrrr~~~~
Will introduce the products next time~








And this video, is a prank to my cute mom.
I told her I got my nails done, costing me RM350. LOL
Zoe, you will have a good laugh I bet, since you love aunty so much. Hahahahaha~

video





It was really a happy weekend. I hope there'll be another one very soon. With all the unhappy problems we encountered, I hope each and everyone of us will get over it real soon. Walk through it, forget the past and focus in the future. At least, I wanna tell you all that I treasure it, I won't do anything to destroy it and I'll try my best to make it back together.

Now we all need is time. May God leads us. Amen.

Ciao ciao for now~

Mom's 59th birthday

21st Oct was mom's birthday. It was a Wednesday.

Recently, her knee is not that good, aches and sort of cramps are bothering her. She can't walk properly, she said her leg feels very stiff when walking.

So she visits the doctor she used to visit and has acupuncture therapies. The doc advised her to have some herbs soup in the other branch of theirs, which is a restaurant.

A restaurant with theme of healthy. She got discounts voucher for buying the herb soup therapy. So on her birthday, she treat me dinner. ^_^






They served us glasses of refreshing drinks first.
I love the taste of sourish with a little bit sweetness.








The soup for me, taste like "Bak Kut Teh".








Mom's 凉拌面线.
Uh... I don't know what is it called in English.... :P








My Rib Bone Rice set.
It's absolutely tasty!!!
The rice is actually Red Yeast Fried Rice.
The taste is quite radical, you'll either love it or hate it.
I love it :)








It was a good time spending with mom. She insisted to pay and doesn't want me to buy anything for her. In the end, I bought a lipstick for her when I was in 1U yesterday. Hopefully her knee will recover very soon... she has been absent to her choir for a month already. She is also going to Bangkok with me in December, hopefully her knee is fully recovered by then.

Oh, the restaurant is in Bukit Sri Bintang, near SJK (C) Kepong 3. Name is 红曲馆.
More updates soon. Ciao Ciao~

First time we cooked in Marybone

After a few days, we settled down and planned for "The Big Saving Plan"!!
How to save our money of course, as we were spending £ (pounds), not Ringgit... T_T

So, we girls (6 all together) in Flat 32, were separated into 2 teams, took turns in preparing dinners. We also had 2 guys from Flat 31, they managed the cleaning of dishes and garbage (they did really good jobs, better than us girls in cleaning @@).

On the forth day in Liverpool, we started our big plan!






Team A- Jane, Rachel and Zoe.




We did not take any pics of the food.... I guess because we're all too hungry and ate everything in just minutes. :D
But I have loads of pictures of the food I ate during the days there. Wait for another blog la~






After we took the first dinner we cooked..........................







We took pictures!!
Take 1. Happy and formal.








Take 2. Getting a bit... hmm... abnormal?? Hahaha








Take 3. A lot messier.








Take 4. Some crazy fellas and a few funny looking peeps.
Guess who's the most piggiest??








Take 5. Theme is "非主流" (non-mainstream)
We're talented, I know. >.<








Take 6. We see our dreams~~ and we're heading to them!!







After dinner and all the shooting moments, it was around 10.30pm already.
I'm lying?? Definitely not.
That's how it looks like during Summer.





That's all for this post. Too little pictures, we were too hungry~ Sorry~~~
Wait for the next! Ciao Ciao~~
