supper...

somehow it aint the food that is impt.. sometimes it's the company.. weiwei is one great company! she comes out with pp to fetch me! and pp sent me home too! hahaha..

den again, the food has gotta be good.. tink i am going to grow fat and die soon.. esp with all the half boiled eggs and stuffs..

my shopping trip...

hehe... red or black.. spoiled for choice..

and who said u have to be at the automobile center to get a car? u can shop for it in a shopping mall too! oh yea, that was wat i did. except i did some window shopping thats all.

and heck, i hate parking.

more pics...

cheese bread! lau benson asked for a trayful of it.. ended up we all cant finish them... wat a waste.. the bible school students can wrap them up with the bib and bring to school the next day! hahaha..

noticed the bread on my hand? apparently, it was in various other photos as well. all thanks to it being free flow. hahhaa...

having fun at the ritz toilet.. it seemed like a yearly thing.. to loiter at the toilet, people watching..

as promised...

"Trio of Roasted Beef with Pepper Chilli Pesto Prosciutto and Baby Arugula Salad with Fig Balsamil, Cheese Chicken Kebab"

long name! haha...

'

"Mushroom Cream Soup with Truffle Oil"

erm, wat on earth is truffle oil? i suppose it shouldnt be a stereotype 'oil is unhealthy' kinda thing. and btw, tis mushroom soup puts all campbells to shame.

noticed all the cutlery? it's too overwhelming, taking too much space on the table! haha..

"Pan Roasted Capon Chicken Thigh with Cumin Mashed Potato and Rosemary Sauce"

watever rosemary sauce is, tis thing sure looks good and tastes even better!

"Jivara and Roasted Banana Mousse with Chocolate Sauce"

wat a delectable name.. tastes pretty nice, considering i aint a huge choco fan..

fine dining

actually, i aint looking forward to the BBD.. cos:
1. it cost $110 (half price for me though)
2. it's on a sunday night. and that means my sunday afternoon is gone.
3. i need solitary time to myself... :)

but den again, there appears to be something else that is drawing me to the dinner. someone else more likely..

the dinner actually started 2 weeks ago, where all of us went frantic as to wat to wear.. all thanks to my fairy godmother for providing the pretty pink dress!

den came the sunday afternoon.. as usual, i am too lazy to make a trip home after svc. so there i was, amongst the few pple lugging huge bags to the dinner..

we'll neva feel secure until we've spent at least half an hour in the ritz toilet.. haha. changing and dolling took up approx 10 min. the rest of the time was spent slumping into the comfy couch.

the rest of the evening was simply food, pictures, more food, more pictures.. until we came to the part where we learnt abt.. erm chasing donkeys.. you'll never know when u meet that intersection of opportunities. :)

the big family...

(anyway, more pics to be up soon... procrastinator glad is procrastinating again)

a day well spent.

i muz admit, much as i wished i was lying on the beach somewhere in sentosa doing nothing over the holiday, or hanging out at the gym, i was glad i had something constructive to do. eh no offense to some pple who like to hang out at sentosa, or the gym. haha.

the day didnt start well with a big fat lizard landing on my lap from the aircon vent above me! dammit. wat a traumatising thought. let's move on.

who said i cant be working out with my kids. we had a fun game of captain's ball. pple running everywhere, pple catching the ball and screaming as if the sound (or rather noise) will resonate and expel the opponents, pple falling and eating grass, pple knocking into me and flying off, pple standing around laughing at the abovementioned pple. haha. maybe i should pick up some ball games again...

and then it was cg. keng and sk did a wonderful job of coordination. moral of it all, never despise your God-given talents. and use them for God's sake (no pun intended)!

and then it was steamboat! eh we kinda went vegetarian, but it aint the food, it's the company you see. battle of the steamboats soon started with me sitting on the fence (as usual). to the tomyam pot when it was boiling and to the chicken stock pot when tomyam is dry.

**********

(photos to be up soon)

and oh yea, it seems i am in a blogging mode.

ode to singapore!

(font and background to the patriotic color of red and white! yay!)

remember the "I am SIngaporean" podcast a year ago? oh well, i do am proud to be singaporean. much as there are countless criticisms abt the education system, the astronomical rates of ERPs and COEs and the like. really.

tis year the parade was held for the very first time on a floating platform. oh well, didnt manage to get the tix to the parade. but it's ok. i aint hard up for it, or rather i wasnt hankering after it with all my strength. at the very least, i was even too lazy to bother to logon to ballot for it. ok, for a start, i promise myself next year i will ballot, enter all the sms contests i can find, and probably make some army regular friends, preferably the commandos. haha.

and there it was, yea, the floating platform. all i can think of the entire show (which i happily watched on tv), was whether the platform was moving. and if the pple on top feel faintish. and occasionally run out to the corridor to watch the flag fly past and the airshow and of cos the fireworks. funny sight to see the fireworks and hear the booms 3 secs later.

anyhows, glad that there was the hol break. my only question is... why isnt Friday a public holiday too? *cry*

upset!

i am totally upset with yy!

juz a couple of days and she is misbehaving. getting out of hand! arghs!

our God reigns........

40 million babies lost to Gods great orphanage,
It’s a modern day genocide and a modern day disgrace
If this is a human right then why aren’t we free?
The only freedom we have is in a man nailed to a tree.

100 million faces, staring at the sky,
Wondering if this HIV will ever pass us by.
The devil stole the rain and hope trickles down the plug,
But still my Chinese take away could pay for someone’s drugs.

The west has found a gun and it’s loaded with ‘unsure’
Nip and tuck if you have the bucks in a race to find a cure.
Psalm one hundred and thirty nine is the conscience to our selfish crime,
God didn’t screw up when he made you...
He’s a father who loves to parade you...

when was the last time you watched a movie at LIDO?

the last time i watched, before yesterday, should be the time when i was in secondary school. remembered so vividly i watched a movie at 9ish. but that was the day of the chingay procession as well. so we sat on the lido ledge to watch chingay too..

anyhows, we headed for lido after dinner for a movie. everything, from the cinema to the advertisements, is so old-school! except that the squeaky chairs are gone though.. the signature "pillar in the cinema" and "toilet within the theatre" thingy still remain!

btw, the popcorn is superbly nice! you can even ask for extra butter! yummy...

the perfect man

The perfect man is gentle
Never cruel or mean.
He has a beautiful smile
And keeps his face so clean.

The perfect man likes children
And will raise them by your side;
He will be a good father
As well as a good husband to his bride.

The perfect man loves cooking,
Cleaning, and vacuuming too
He’ll do anything in his power
To convey his feelings of love on you.

The perfect man is sweet,
Writing poetry from your name.
He’s a best friend to your mother
And kisses away your pain.

He never has made you cry
Or hurt you in anyway.
Oh, heck this stupid poem...
The perfect man is gay!

byee rochester...

*waves goodbye to my rochester...*

well apparently, i should juz quit my job, and get a job at some developer's company instead. the private preview of the apt saw the units being sold, all sold out!

crabs!

booboo.. i thought i wont be eating crabs for the next 3 months, some 1 month ago.. i was wrong.

thank God i went for boxercise.. shred off some fats before i put on some more! haha.. not to mention those cholesterol, which for the longest time, i've not acknowledged that they are present in crabs.

tis time round, i had BOTH black pepper and chilli crab.. hehe..

and the price to pay for eating crabs.. a car full of bird shit.. oh well, we had to park under that big tree must we... :S

all in all, i am simply amazed by the amount of stuffs i can accomplish in one night.. do the hamster run in the gym, box, eat crabs, shop (vicariously thru weiwei, haha..), eat crabs, transfer money, wash car.. ooh!

btw, thanks so much weiwei for the ipsa! yayyay! i love weiwei!

talk abt majesty and the temple in the marketplace. i am looking forward to having CHC in the marketplace too! it's gonna be a sacrifice. but the glory will be far greater than that of the titanium building! ~
