My first day of CNY was tiring. It was a full day of visitations. By evening, my energy was totally depleted! I so wanted to take a short nap before chionging for more visitations. Haha but momsie said no can do.

My grandma made the yusheng ingredients herself & made a blue one cause she said she ran out of green! Haha so cute right? LOL.

This has to be the most colourful yusheng i've ever seen!

Wore a Turquoise Qi Pao which momsie got for me from HK, & it was too big -.- Had to alter it so many times & yet it was still too big! So pissed -.- But had to wear it if nt i wld be naked for CNY. Tt wldn't be a nice sight.

Family tradition to pay respect to my parents on the first day of CNY.

With the twins (: Left: Nik Right: Tash

The twins (:

Anja!

& Now, my mum's side of the family! (:

Perfect bun.

Adiddas watch from Beloved & Rus (:

Estee Lauder make-up purse! How cute! (:

I never had a perfect bun tt looked effortlessly messy, yet neat. Moreover, after years of trying to tie a perfect bun.. I finally succeeded one fine night (: I was beyond ecstatic.

Shopping ^^

2012-01-23T22:31:00.001+08:00

Hello! :) How has everyone's CNY been so far? I completed my visitations all in 1 day. Haha so the 2nd day i went out w R before he booked in :)

Anw, before the CNY period, i went shopping w Tash at Orchard & it was pretty tiresome. Hahaha. FEP had absolutely NOTHING tt caught my eye. It was either way overpriced or js plain fugly. I didn't buy much & neither did Tash. Momsie joined us shortly after though. Been long since i last shopped w my family members (:

Nude Enveope clutch i got from HK! ^^
P.S I have more of these beautiful clutches in different colours if any of you are interested. Selling 1 at $18! Formspring me if interested (:

Rive Island shoe sale!

I LIKE THIS PAIR OF HEELS!! But a tad to pricey.

Things i got from my shopping haul w Tash & Momsie. Not much cause i saw nothing i rly liked.

La Senza Cotton Bras.
I love the patterns! Hehe ^^

Cotton On Socks.
It's rly cheap cosidering it's 3 for $10.

New Look Floral Outerwear by 'Generation'.
The 'Generation' section is for kids aged 6-13. I can wear a 13 year old's clothes. LOL.

Never knew 13 year olds would be so tall? 158!! Tt's taller than me -.-

It's back to work tmr. Sian. Haha oh wells. Have a great week everyone! :)

Red Velvet Cupcakes.

2012-01-21T20:24:00.000+08:00

Here's a close up on Sk's 21st birthday cupcakes i made! (: It's supposed to be Red Velvet.. However, it was far from the colour & taste! It tasted more like a Chocolate cupcake in fact. This is my first time whipping up a Red Velvet flavoured cupcake. So please, don't judge. Hahaha. I ain't some pro. I designed her cupcakes w what she likes. Bags, shoes, clothes etc. Basically anything related w Fashion & Music. More to Fashion as u can see.

Red Velvet Cupcakes w Fondant & Cream Cheese topping.

This is actually a ticket stub since she loves attending gigs & concerts! Haha this is done by my sister, Tash.

Used her prom photo when she was 17 to stick in one of the cupcakes! Hehe (:

I need to work on my Red Velvet! Lol. Btw, most of the decor are actually my barbie doll items. I only moulded some fashion related items. It's pretty obvious which ones are moulded. Lol.

Shi Kins 21st!

2012-01-19T23:54:00.002+08:00

My dearest Shi Kin turned 21 last week! She's the first to turn 21! Hehe (: I rushed home from work to get her cupcakes & down to her place in a cab but i reached aft 12am. Oh well. Her friends were alr there & she was happily opening her presents, which i must say, was BEYOND AMAZING! She had lke 3 Tiffany & Co acesories? How cool is tt?! I ALSO WANT! Hahaha. *Hint hint* Furthermore, she received a Nikon camera tt she wanted! Both gifts are from her family members. So friggin sweet please. As requested, she didn't want a birthday party but a surprise birthday vaccation instead. & Her wish was granted (: I felt so happy seeing her overjoyed & also, i got to catch up w her a bit (:

P.S. Will do a seperate post on the cupcakes i baked (:

Outside her house preparing the cupcakes! ^^

The pretty birthday girl ^^

Surrounded by all her awesome birthday presents!

Sk's birthday presents tt got her going "ARE U SERIOUS?!" Hahaha she's so damn adorable!

Yazid!
Haven't seen him for like ages! Haha. He got Sk a pair of T&C ear rings! Sucha sweet brother right?!

Kamal!
This one even better. Never see for like.. Donkey years? Lol.

Hope u had an enjoyable birthday vaccation w your family my dear! Happy 21st & may your path be filled with neverending oppurtunities in the areas of Fashion where ur talent lies. I love u & God bless! ^^

Like a sailor.

2012-01-18T11:38:00.000+08:00

Most of u prolly saw this dress in many blogshops alr. Hehe but still, i love how comfortable & the fact tt it's open backed ^^ Looks abit like a sailor. Lol.

Anw, my laptop is spoilt & I hv my touched it for days! Ugh. So frustrating. Need to save up to buy a new one.

Shopping!

2012-01-16T19:34:00.001+08:00

Spend my off days shopping for CNY clothes. Or rather, CNY wld be an excuse for me to shop! Hehe.

Crazy night.

2012-01-15T21:12:00.000+08:00

Met up w Rai one of the days aft work to shop for Sk's birthday present. & Also, to brainstorm on what we shld do on her birthday. Well, since she was flying away on her actual b'day, we decided to push the celebration back 1 day earlier.
Decided to wait for Zuby to finish her work so we can go for supper. Not like we do this kinda thing every time. We now hv our own careers & obviously timings always clash. So it didn't matter to me. So happy to see em! ^^

Dinner at Kenny Rogers sucks. Gosh the food was atrocious. The meat was so dry & tough.

Bought Sk one of those Diana F+ camera! Hehe (:

Sorry Sk! Cannot buy this awesome Diana kit cause its.. Well, wayyy over budget. Like $492. Yes tt ex. Haha.

(:

Zuby cut her hair rly short!

SHORT RIGHT?! But she doesn't look tt bad! Still can recognize her. Hehe.

Rai's Dr Martin's!

Zuby's super cool office!

Oh all magazines she got us to read, she took FHM -.- Hahaha.

Hahaha Zuby and her JB hairstyle

One of the few Friday nights!

2012-01-14T21:41:00.000+08:00

It is very rare that i get Friday's off. So, i spent the night w R having dinner at our fav plc, MFM ^^ Wanted to catch a movie but it was too late alr. Also, i hv work super early the next day. Sigh. Honestly, i dislike the situation we both are in now. But, i'm taking it as a challenge. Absence makes the heart grow fonder right? (:

Plaza Sing MFM menu has changed! They added so much more dishes & it all looks oh so yummy! ^^

Seafood platter for 2!
We always order this whenever we dine at MFM. It nvr disappoints (:

Bodyshop sale.

I went crazy on mini bottles of lotion ^^ I always carry one in my bag. A lil more won't kill right? Hehe (:

My Pathfinder shoes vs R's Timberland shoes.

:*)

Haha idk what to make of this picture. LOL. Hv no idea wth i was doing? Oh wells.

Violet Matt.

2012-01-13T17:03:00.000+08:00

So, i funally took a proper photo of my hair colour. It's violet matt. More like Purple-Red. I love it very much as it is very different from the common Brown or Red haired u see ard these days. My hair is pretty long & i got it dyed at $60! Cheap or what?! Super worth it (: Let's js hope it does nt fade away! *Fingers crossed*

Fireworks on NYE.

2012-01-12T14:18:00.002+08:00

On NYE, i spent it w R (: Right aft i ended work we decided to catch the fireworks as we missed last year's one. It was magnificent. So beautiful! I found myself smiling like a silly person whilst watching the fireworks in awe. Boy am i glad i decided to go (: Def worth every sec ^^
& The best part? I DIDN'T GET STUCK IN THE JAM!! Hehe. Thank God for R ((: I reached home before 1am so tt i can get my beauty sleep for work the following day.

I prepared a short video of the fireworks shown on NYE. Just so yknow, i cut a number of scenes from 9 mins to 3mins! Hahaha. Cause 9 mins seemed like it was a repeated scene. Lol. Well, hope ya'll will like it (: Esp to those who didn't get to see it! (:

This is London's fireworks! SUPER COOL PLS! I must visit London someday on NYE to witness the fireworks for myself ^^ Even the song suits the display of Fireworks so perfectly! (:

Girls talk.

2012-01-11T02:29:00.001+08:00

Talking w Rai abt career plans & the future encouraged me to go ahead with my initial plans. Been long since I last confided my deep thoughts practically bout everything to a close friend :) Thank you for being my listening ear Rai :)

& Zuby's office is mad cool! She's a graphic designer. Super cool environment to work in! Below are photos from my phone. Will upload the ones in my cammy soon ^^

Baby girl in her new haircut!

2012-01-10T21:43:00.001+08:00

Doudou had a new haircut which my mum didn't even ask me first before shaving her -.- Imagine the horror on my face when I came back frm work & saw my precious baby girl looking so.. Bald.

New year, New hair colour!

2012-01-08T21:59:00.001+08:00

I changed my hair colour & an pretty satisfied w it ^^ Decided to do Violet matt. Like Purple-Red. I didn't rly take a proper photo so I only hv a pic of my hair colour in my phone. But the pic does no justice to the hair colour!! Will post up when I hv the time to take a photo :)

Momsie's 50th!

2012-01-06T01:08:00.004+08:00

Momsie turned 50 last Tuesday! As quoted '50 GOLDEN YEARS!'. Haha. Had a birthday dinner at Candlenut kitchen, & the food was simply delicious! Also, it wasn't like any ordinary Nonya restaurant.. It was classy & the service was great too! (:
After dinner we had desserts at The Broadway Cafe! We had a great time chit chatting over dinner & i must say i felt so at peace (: Cause nothing beats the true comfort of being with your family after a long & stressful day at work.
I love my mum very much & there are times i wish i cld hv undo the things i said or actions tt hurt her. She has sacrificed so much for the 4 of us & she needn't do so in the first plc. I hv always looked up to my mum as my role model in many areas. Every child wld say tt their mum is the best. & I believe so too (:

New Years Eve

2011-12-31T21:06:00.001+08:00

It's the last day of 2011, & I hv my New Year's Resolution all written down :)

2011 has been a fruitful year for me. This is the year where I had the opportunity to sort of showcase my "hobbies". My dreams & visions were brought to life & I thank God for his guidance. For the many times I hv sinned, He was often merciful towards me. Moreover, saw me through my toughest time.

I made several new friends & lost some old ones whom I thought were true friends. Nonetheless, I am thankful for the many obstacles I came across for it made me stronger.

In the year 2012, I believe it will get better! I know it will. For 'Great things have yet to come'! :)

Here's wishing everyone of u a joyous NYE celebration, & A helluva awesome 2012! :) Make every sec count! ^^

My Christmas eve & Christmas Day was spent at work. However, i requested to end work slightly earlier js so i can rush to my cousin's plc to celebrate Christmas with momsie ^^ Thought it was a mere 1hr spent w my family, it was worth every minute (:

Midnight Flea

2011-12-24T15:04:00.000+08:00

Impromptu decision to attend the Midnight Flea at Dempsey Hill. As it was my off day the following day, i went home pretty late tt night. & Yet, despite my exhaustion, it was the company i had tt pulled me through the night (: Furthermore, movie after the flea saw me snuggling into R's open arms, where i seeked warmth & love (: It was a good night (:

A day with my favourite girls.

2011-12-21T21:40:00.002+08:00

Met up with one of my 2 favourite girls in the world! ^^ Met Stacy in the afternoon for some shopping & movie! She shopped more than me. Hahaha i didn't buy anything. FEEL SO PROUD OF MYSELF! I deserve a pat on the back! Lol. First time man. Anw, we watched 'Breaking Dawn'! Love hanging out with her cause she nvr fails to make me laugh.
Dinner was w Beloved! We caught up on lotsa things & i honestly missed her so much! It felt like we were 15 all over agn. Talking abt our lives & stuff. Except this time, abt our future (: We even "shopped" at tpy. Hahaha so pathetic i know -.- But it was quite late alr. On a plus side, beloved intro-ed a shop to me tt sold blogshop kinda clothes tt was friggin cheap! Like $10-20 only!

Montifs

This is the shop! V colourful u sure won't miss it! It's along Koi area.

Anyhoos, my Tuesday was well spent cause i got to spend it with my bestfriends & i rly missed them so much.

Love this ASOS dress i borrowed from the twins! They got it in 2 colours -.- The other one is in Black.

LOVE THE BACK OF THE DRESS! ^^
It shocked me tt my sisters actually wld buy something like tt. They often strike me as the Shirt & Jeans/Shorts kinda girls. Seeing this dress(particularly the back) my jaw dropped right to the bottom. Lol.

Stussy & her '101 facial expressions' -.- There are more.. But it wld prolly spam this post. Hahaha.

Dinner w Beloved at Pizza Hut.

Her gift for me from Xiamen ^^

Supper @ Ya Kun!

OH &.. I HAVE TWITTER!!
Hahahaha i feel so funny saying it. Lol. After months of persuasion by beloved, i decided to create one.. With her guidance. Haha like damn noob -.- Whole world prolly using it way before i even started. Follow me if u want k? (: My username is, nadinetayy.

P.S. Idk how to find ppl k. So give ya'll my username instead. LOL.

Happy day!

2011-12-20T00:00:00.000+08:00

I don't get to go out much anymore cause of work & fortunately for me, i got a weekend off last week. I was ecstatic upon hearing the good news ^^
Anw, it was spent w R as i hardly get to spend time w him. We shopped for Christmas presents & i only managed to buy 1? Hahaha. Still looking for 2 more (: Happened to be at Scape where there was a Loreal warehouse sale! I went crazy over there. Lol bought facial products & i alr hv so many! Hehe (: It was mad cheap ok! But the sale ended alr.

Lunch @ Toast box! I love their laksa!

My fringe has grown so long tt it can now be tucked behind my ear! Haven't been to the salon for more than 6 months alr. LOL.

Bangles are from Diva. Fossil watch is a birthday gift from Rai (:

Loreal warehouse sale!

My mini haul from the sale ^^ Hehe.

Got this pair of wedges for my elder sis, Nik! She is the only one in the family tt has tons of heels/shoes! She's a shoe fanatic. Lol.

Our Christmas gifts for each other are placed under the beautiful Christmas tree!!! ((((: SO PRETTY RIGHT??! Hehe ^^

Decor my room too! (:

I CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS!! ^^ Too bad for me, i'm working on the eve & Christmas day :'( Oh wells. I expected it alr. Have a great week everyone! (:

Christmas at Orchard!

2011-12-17T13:57:00.000+08:00

The one thing i love abt the Christmas decor at Orchard wld be the... ELEPHANTS! Haha the painting is so nice! Some are remarkable! I can never paint tt good!

Funky boys dressed in Christmas colours.

Huge snow globes outside Ion.

Okay on a side note..

This was how i wanted to do up my room initially. I'm referring to the branches over the bed. But i cldn't find really long branches :( It's so nice right? Makes u feel so.. Out of the world. Hahaha or mainly, SG. Heh ^^

NYX lipstick.

2011-12-16T14:06:00.000+08:00

Got these NYX lipsticks from a stall at Scape. 1 for $8, 2 for $15. Bought 2 colours in Light Pink(Paris) & Red(Sunflower).

Code no: 620
Colour: Paris

Code no: 638
Colour: Sunflower

Honestly i didn't know the lipstick was that Red! Lol. My lips are rly cracked as u can see from the pictures above. Since young, i wld constantly peel the skin from my lips.As a result, my lips hv become v dry & cracked. Super ugly but i hv tone down a lot alr! So, don't peel your lips!!!

Anw, I have this rly bad habit of licking my lips even w lipstick on! Haha do any of u do tt too??

With love.

2011-12-14T14:35:00.000+08:00

Had a photoshoot w R in late Oct before i started work. It was def an experience as it is our first time doing things like tt. But it was kinda fun (: The photographer we worked w was friendly & he didn't make us feel awkward. It was a rly sunny day. Perfect day for photo taking (:

Photographer: Douglas

Company Website: Lumiere Photography

One of my fav pictures! Hahaha i find it funny! Hehe.

R's character is somewhat like me. He is aggressive, stubborn & is a die hard 'I-want-things-my-way' kinda guy. For he always thinks he is forever correct! -.- Knowing me, i will always fight for my say. Honestly, i used to dislike him. How ironic right? Haha. He may not be the best, but at least i know he is capable of change. I am thankful for the many things he has done for me. & I always will be (: Judging from the photos above, u can tell he is def way more spontaneous than me. Lol.

Cupcakes!

2011-12-12T23:50:00.003+08:00

I took a step of faith by baking a box of cupcakes for a customer, L. Coincidentally, she happens to be R's friend! Haha. What a small small world (: Anw, i was kinda hesitant initially as i was taunted by the very idea of disappointing the customer. After much thought, i decided to give it a go. There's always a first time to everything right? (: I spent hrs trying my best to make it close to perfect though she stated tt it needn't be perfect. Still, i wanted to please her by gng all out (:

My piping tips! ^^ (They can be purchased at Phoon Huat.)

I dug a hole in the middle of the cupcake to pipe in choc ganache. Wanted to create a Choc-Centered Cupcake, instead of the well known Choc chip cupcake.

Cream cheese frosting! Looks so pretty! ^^ Shall try coloured frosting in the future (:

Painstakingly stuck the ribbons tgth to form the sentence 'ELVA HANA HOT MAMA', as requested by L (: Thank God Nik helped me! Hahaha. Not easy forming words w ribbons.

Satisfied w the design (:

Personally i feel tt the taste cld hv been much better. I'll work on it (:
L gave her feedback, saying the cupcakes were lovely & delicious! I was relieved to hear tt! Thank God she & her friends enjoyed it ^^ Let me know what u guys think? (:

Christmas mood!

2011-12-12T00:25:00.001+08:00

Exhausted

2011-12-01T00:05:00.001+08:00

Been 1 month working at WH. Honestly, I am extremely drained. I no longer hv anymore energy to get up every morn. There are def times I feel like giving up. But I constantly tell myself 'Nothing's impossible through Christ'. My immune system is failing on me for the lack of sleep I get. Even then, it is nt enough. I can't think straight & my mind goes blank. Sigh :(

Mass update.

2011-11-28T23:33:00.004+08:00

Have been mad busy. Thus, not being able to blog much. Like i said, most of my blog post are saved as drafts & i upload em when i'm free at work. So, here's a mass update on what has been gng on! Haha.

This is prolly outdated, but i attended Zuby's 21st abt a week ago. Rai planned it all & it was held at Club Hotel, a boutique hotel. Rly unique interior design which i felt was mad cool! Theme of the party was 'GEEK'. I rushed down aft work & i'm glad i went cause it actually took my mind off the stress i hv been having! (:
(Photos are taken w my iPhone.)

(:

Work has been exhausting. Haha. Business have def been picking up tt's for sure! Esp during weekends. It's mad busy! Non stop action. I have nvr worked in a kitchen tt's forever busy. Def learned A LOT of stuff! The perks of being a full timer u see more stuff & u get to do more hands on. Much more in fact (:
(Photos are taken w my iPhone, using instagram! Follow me on instagram! My username is Nadine tay)

The decor of the restaurant has a very homey & cosy feeling.

Norwegian Benedict!
One of my top favs on the menu ^^

I love NY!

Twin's favorite.

Speaking of the twins.. They got me 2 dresses from ASOS. Almost every year, they get me clothes as a present. & I must admit, their taste in fashion is completely diff from mine! LOL.
I told em they shld hv let me choose then they js pay. Hahaha.

Toga dress in Cream.

Early Christmas

2011-11-18T00:34:00.001+08:00

Christmas came early for the twins & I :) I was feeling so down for the past few weeks until I came home to this :))) My face immediately beamed! :) Momsie & my Uncle & Aunty did this for us :) Heh ^^ Mainly for me cause momsie knew I hv always wanted a Christmas tree.
So happy to see this sitting in my living room in my fav colour :D Momsie's the best!

HK Day 4!

2011-11-17T14:53:00.000+08:00

Spent Day 4 at Cheung Chau. Another island located in HK.

Lunch @ Tasty congee & noodle wantun shop, located @ IFC! Super yummy food! ^^

The Wantun noodle was not as salty compared to the other street shops i had.

Century Egg w pickles.
Momsie's fav, not mine. Lol.

Shrimp Dumpling.
Preferred the one @ The King's Cuisine!

Sorry i cannot rmbr what this is called.. But, it is SO yummy! I can't rmbr canto names!

Took a 45min ferry before arriving @ Cheung Chau!

Tt's a real pufferfish btw. It was being preserved & hung as a decor. Lol.

I was the only 'colourful' person at the village. Hahahaha so funny. Momsie said it's cause it was going to be winter & everyone was getting ready. Lol.

Steamed Prawns.
Dinner @ a nearby restaurant where momsie's friend bought fresh seafood from a market & got the kitchen staff to cook it.

Scallops w vermicelli.

Geo-duck.

Steamed pomfret.
Flesh of the fish was tough. Did nt rly like it.

By the time we went back to our hotel we were both exhausted! Spent the whole day at another island which was quiet & cooling (:

Birthday Dinner w Daddy!

2011-11-16T22:23:00.003+08:00

This is prolly rly outdated, but.. Oh wells. Lol. Had dinner w daddy @ Orchard Central for my 20th. The food was average? Plus it was quite pricey.

Something w Sea Urchin. (Can't rmbr)

Lobster porridge
Rly yummy but too big a portion.

Hairy Crab served w tea.
Super tiny & difficult to break the shell. Thank God for daddy! Hahaha.
Daddy stacked the tiny hairy crabs tgth! Hahaha so funny right?? Lol.

Avocado mousse.
Not a fan of Avocado. So i didn't eat it. Lol.

Daddy! ^^

Cold Stone for dessert after @ 313! ^^

Wearing the Pink dress/top i got from Victoria Jomo's fashion buffet w Stussy (: I think it wld hv been better to get the earliest slot as i heard there were better clothes? Also, the carrier bag was so tiny cldn't stuff much in :( Doubt i wld wanna go for it again. Like nt worth it.

Back to work tmr. Sigh. Am rly tired. I look forward to Friday. R is booking out (:

Stay home Wednesday

2011-11-16T15:23:00.001+08:00

I am home resting today. Took off frm work as I cannot take it alr. I am exhausted & drained. Am taking this time to gain back my energy for the next few days.

HALLOWEEN PARTY!

2011-11-15T17:04:00.000+08:00

Okay i know this post is super outdated.. But, i haven't had the time to blog abt it cause of work! Hahaha. My previous HK posts were all done way beforehand & saved as drafts cause i knw i won't hv time to blog wheni start work ^^ Hehe.

So, i held a Halloween party at my place in late Oct! Some dressed up & i appreciate tt they were so spontaneous! ^^ What's the fun if u don't dress up right? It's HALLOWEEN pls. I baked some cakes which i know didn't turn out well :( This is the result of rushing to bake into the wee hours of the night. We layed a game called 'Saboteur'. Hv any of u heard of this game before? It's a rly fun game abt 2 groups of ppl trying to find the hidden gold & the Saboteurs, who wil try to stop the Miners from finding it! Fun fun (:

If u r looking @ this photo & going 'Eewwww..' GOOD! Hahahaha tt's the effect i was trying to create.
& I know there's a finger missing. It dropped out :( Cannot stick back...

Eyeball pops.

Bought this in HK! When u clap/make a loud sound, tt thing will drop down to scare u w some eerie noise. Hehe.

Zuby & Rai!
I think Auby came as John Lenon & Rai said she came as Katy Perry!

Javier prolly as Mario.

Fad as a robber, Kai & R as a vampire.

Gladys as the rabbit!

I went as minnie mouse. Hehe.

SABOTEUR!!

Fad! LOL. Started playing w the girl's wig!

-___- Not tt i wanna embarrass him, but..He can srlsy pass off as a tranny.

This looks so.. wrong. Lol.

HAPPY BELATED HALLOWEEN FOLKS!
Hope ya'll had a great one! (((:

I need a Hero.

2011-11-11T00:16:00.001+08:00

Where have all the good men gone
And where are the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a white knight
Upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn
And dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
Isn't there a Superman
To sweep me off my feet?

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

I pray the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I can swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and then the chill and the rain
And the storm and the raging flood
Oh, his approaches like a fire in my blood

I'll meet a hero
And then we'll dance till the morning light
Dreaming, he will lead me
Held tight, tonight's the night

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

Larger than life
Larger than life
Oh baby, baby, baby, you know.

HK Day 3!

2011-11-08T23:10:00.004+08:00

Day 3 was shopping again. Which i did nt buy much. I even took a whole afternoon to walk ard alone until dinner time which was when i made my way back to the hotel.

Argyle Centre!
This shopping centre has a lot of shoe shops!

Ladies Market.
Nothing much there. Wasted my time walking ard tt plc. Lol.

Look at the crowd!!

Wanton noodles.

Gelare.

SG Gelare waffle wayyy better plus it's bigger!

Anw, i then walked ard alone & momsie went back to the hotel. I got back before dinner time where we ate at The King's Cuisine! (:

Crab!!!

Szechuan pepper soup!
So yummyyy! ^^ I love sour food but momsie said it was too sour & yet, i wanted to add more vinegar! Hahahaha.

Day 3 was a v short day. Didn't do much.

This is Day 4 where i spent an entire day at another island in HK, Cheung Chau! Will blog abt it soon ^^

HK Day 2.

2011-11-08T22:11:00.002+08:00

Day 2 was quite boring. Walked soo much! Plus I even shopped alone in the night. Wish i had a girlfriend there w me :( I nvr rly liked riding solo! Feels like everyone is staring at u, watching ur every move.. It's scary.

Lunch @ some random wanton stall. I have nvr tasted such salty soup before! Lol.

Momsie (:

Halloween shops. The halloween products are way cheaper than SG's!

We went back to the Flower market to hv a proper shopping time! Oh & i forgot to mention in my previous post.. The good shops are located along the sides of the market! Not the middle!

Back to the hotel to rest! ^^

Momsie bought the necklace i'm wearing for the twins! Heh. I borrowed it. Lol.

Off to Central!! Where the branded items are! (:

I rly don't understand the hype abt H&M!? I don't rly fancy their clothes.

@ Lan Kwai Fong. A tourist area. Look @ their Halloween decor hanging above! (: So cool!

Dinner @ a Jap restaurant.

SASHIMI! ^^

There are quite a number of graffiti walls along the alleys.

Long stretch of Halloween shops! Mad cool!

Hehe wanted to buy the wig but decided not to! SGD$25! Cheap right? Anw tt's the colour i wanna highlight my hair!! But 2 years has passed & i hv nt been able to find any salon tt carries tt colour :( Anyone knows of a salon tt has tt colour? SHARE W ME PLSSS! (((:

Egg Tart shop

Super yummy egg tarts!!! Best i've ever eaten!! So soft & moist it melts in your mouth! The crust is so delicious! ^^

Tt's all for day 2. We did a lot of walking! Lol. HK Day 3 was short & simple. Anw i can't wait for next week when the restaurant starts running it's business! I desperately need an off day. Am dead tired!

Birthday dinner w R (:

2011-11-06T21:16:00.000+08:00

I'm so tired from the long hours of work. Wild honey is in the midst of opening soon & everyone is mad busy preparing for it. I am excited for the opening tt's for sure. Js rly worn out.

Anw, Realiszed i haven't blogged abt what i did on my actual birthday. It was js a simple day planned by R (: It rained the whole afternoon :( Sucha spoiler. But anw, in the evening i headed w R out to Grand Park Hotel for buffet! ^^

Went Daiso to buy my Halloween head gear!

LOL!

Grand Park Hotel.

R & i spammed their seafood. LOL. The one thing we were both upset w the restaurant was tt the Oysters came out from the kitchen slow, & when it did, it was gone in less than 10s! The display of Oysters were so little! How can u have a buffet line, when the seafood u offer comes in small quantities & the time they take to replenish the food is slow!! I understand tt they hv to shuck the oysters a la minute.. But maybe they shld expand the seafood table.

Portuguese Egg tart & Durian Egg tart!
So yummy! (((: U can see the many layers of crust! The dough was def folded v well by the pastry chef!

Left: Durian flesh. Right: Banana Cake.

New wedges i got from HK (: Quality is good & i love the shoelace details on the back (:

R (: Ty for planing my 20th ^^ I was rly happy tt day, i swear! Seeing u dress up js for me makes me extra happy. U can be a real sweetheart at times when u listen (: I hope u stay like tt for eternity :D

Charlie Brown Cafe & Mirror.

2011-11-04T15:53:00.000+08:00

A few years ago, my fam & i chanced upon a Charlie Brown Cafe & cld nvr find it again! It was sad cause we loved tt plc! It was so cool! My mum is a super huge fan of Charlie brown & the gang. When U.Ian brought us to the cafe.. We were mad happy!! Still looked the same js like i rmbred (:
Oh &.. It is NOTHING like the one at 313 Somerset!!! It is wayyy better! U HAVE to visit the cafe if u ever go to HK! Trust me, U WON'T REGRET! The food is so awesome somore!!

Charlie Brown Cafe
Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon
58-60 Cameron Road
Tel: 23666315/23666325

Here's a video i took in the Charlie Brown Cafe! ^^ Sorry if it's kinda shaky!

The v cool ceiling!

It was Halloween period when we were there. Which explains the sort-of-spooky atmosphere in the Cafe.

The Tiramisu is sooo good!!!

Momsie (: She was prolly the happiest person in the cafe. Lol. She is srsly the 'BIGGEST FAN' of Charlie brown & the gang! She has a huge box of their comics & is the one thing she refuses to throw away.

Me & Charlie Brown :D

This is their address if u ever wanna visit the super cool cafe! ^^

Next was dinner @ Mirror, a fine dining restaurant. It was my advance birthday dinner from momsie & U.Ian! Location of the restaurant is rly hard to find. The food cld have been better as i was told they change their menu every month & sadly on my b'day month the dishes weren't as fantastic :( Oh wells. I loved the ambiance though (: & The best thing's tt their service is mad awesome!! The best i've ever come across so far!

Mirror
199 Wanchai Rd
16 floor Tiffan Tower
Tel: (852) 28332178

Super cute Salt & Pepper shakers!

Appetizer: Pan Fried Scallop w Corn Risotto & Balsamic Vinegar.
LOVED IT! ((: Super yummy!

2nd Appetizer: Slow cooked egg, Pomme Paillason, Bacon Sauce.

Soup: Beet Root Veloute, Beet Roots, Baby Herbs & Lemon Ginger Oil.
Loved how the waiters poured our soup from a small jar right infront our eyes! ^^ However, the taste was bad. Didn't like it at all. It tasted like salt water.

Mains: Chicken breast, Leeks slowly confit w Crayfish & Light Foie Gras Sauce.

Mum's mains: Mackerel confit in olive oil w Thyme, Rosemary, Tomato Concassee, Basil & Black Olives.

Dessert: Apple Caramel w Caramel Ice cream.
When the waiter walked towards me w my dessert i was stunned! I didn't expect to see a candle & they were so attentive when they overheard my mum telling me tt this dinner is for my birthday! (: &..I loved their dessert! (:

Lemon Orange tiny cupcake!

So.. Do give a visit to either dining places if u are in HK! (:
U will enjoy it (:

Hong Kong Day 1

2011-11-02T18:43:00.001+08:00

My first day spent in HK was awesome! The best out of the 5 days there! (: Had good food for lunch & dinner. Plus i got to do a lil shopping! What more can a girl ask for? ((: Heh ^^

Took a train to Kowloon instead of cabbing as it wld take longer & wld be far more expensive. If u are ever in HK, don't take a cab! Save your money & time. Taking the mtr(trains) is so much more convenient plus it gets u to ur destination way faster than a cab wld. HK is huge & the traffic can be rly bad. But w the MTR, u need nt encounter the traffic jams (:

Shopped @ the 'Flower Market', located @ Prince Edward Station. The clothes there are way nicer than the ones found at Argyle Centre or Ladies Market. In fact, don't waste ur time visiting Ladies Market. There is absolutely NOTHING to buy. At Argyle Centre, there are more shoe shops than clothes. Also, the clothes are a bit like Bugis & FEP combined tgth. However, clothes weren't as appealing as the ones @ Flower Market.

The clouds look so fluffy & White! ^^

Stayed @ BP International Hotel, located @ Kowloon, Jordan Rd.

View from the hotel room.

Lunch @ The King's Cuisine!
The dim sum served @ this restaurant are the best i've ever tasted! IT IS SO GOODDDD!

In most of the hotel restaurants, i realise they always wash their cutleries w a pot of hot water provided.

蝦餃燒賣 (Shrimp Dumpling)
BEST SHRIMP DUMPLING EVER!!!!! The skin is perfectly thin & the prawn is so fresh & huge!

Steamed dumpling "ChuiChow" Style
Dumpling with veg & nuts. It didn't really like it cause of the nuts.

烧卖 (Siew Mai)
Usually i'm nt a fan of Siew Mai.. But the ones i ate at this restaurant was SUPERB!

Crispy Pork.

Congee seafood w scallop.
It was so-so only.

(:

Momsie! ^^

If u're wondering why my eye colour like so diff.. I'm wearing contact lens from FreshLook. Got it in 'Honey' colour.

Off to the Flower market, @ Prince Edward station!

Come out from Exit B2 & walk straight.

U will see a traffic light & cross over to the other side & walk straight until u see a fish shop, turn right & walk straight! U will eventually find the Flower Market once u turn right.

SO FRIGGIN CUTE RIGHT??!

Cat shop.

Turn right when u see this!

Flower Market! (:

I will blog abt the Charlie Brown Cafe & my birthday dinner @ a fine dining restaurant called, 'Mirror', another time! (:

"Ever get to point in a relationship where you go, “ I love you but if I have to be around you one more second I’m going to do you bodily harm?” I’ve had a few of those … everyone has had those moments.

Love isn’t perfect, we will all have our bad days, drive each other crazy, and have disagreements. But when a relationship between two people goes bad, then sometimes love really isn’t enough.

Sometimes it hits you that the person you love may not feel the same for you, makes you unhappy, might cheat on you, prevent you from being you, hurts you in anyway continuously; despite how much you love them, you need to realize you might have to walk away. If the person you are with isn’t happy, or you are hurting them more by being with them, then sometimes you need to let them go as well.

I loved a man very much, and he loved me as well. Sure, he was kind, fun, smart, someone I enjoyed hanging out with, but things just started to fall apart. I wasn’t happy, I wasn’t me. I got tired of trying to make things work. So one day, enough was enough. It hurt, sometimes it still does.

Walking away from someone you love hurts. Sometimes letting go of someone one who loves you hurts too. You’ve got to do what’s best for you, and sometimes them. Love can be as easy as holding a hand, and kissing someone goodnight. It also can be as hard as walking away knowing your heart only beats for them."

Mount kinabalu

2011-10-21T00:20:00.002+08:00

I'm hitting the big 2-0 very soon & i'm having mixed feelings about getting older. I no longer have the '1' in my age alr ): Lol.

Have u ever came across an abandoned house twice, but of a different time frame? Well, i have. The house is located at Mount Kinabalu. & I went there in the night & day time. I'd prefer going in the day time considering tt the atmosphere wasn't tt eerie. Plus, it didn't give me the chills.. Not like before. However, it's something about wrecked things, like houses.. Tt always attracts me. I have no idea why..

Hope u like the pictures! (: Pictures of me are taken by my fav man behind the lens ^^
I'm flying off to HK w momsie in a few hours time! :D Eggcitedddd. Will be back in 5 days time! (((:

Strictly Pancakes

2011-10-19T21:24:00.004+08:00

Watched 'Dreamhouse' & it is such a good movie! Super awesome storyline! (: Go watch if u haven't! Brunch @ Strictly Pancakes was comforting. Not exactly a fan of their pancakes though i wished it wld hv tasted better. But, their poached eggs w hollandaise sauce def won me over. It was delicious!

@ Mount Faber (:

Watermelon nails tt the twins painted. I wanted Polka Dots & i got dice nails(According to them). Which to me looks more like a watermelon!

Teehee ^^

Earl Grey Tea.
I wld have preferred to have a teapot along w the cup. $4 for js a small cup of tea is not worth it.

Benedict the thief.
Poached eggs on thick pancakes & turkey ham, accompanied by Hollandaise sauce & asparagus.

Marche

2011-10-18T13:54:00.001+08:00

Had dinner w momsie & twins the other day @ 313's Marche & it was a total disappointment! The food was really bad! It is so over-rated pls! Pay so much for sucky fd. I'd rather eat @ food court -.- I only ate 1 slice of pizza & a few bites of cake. Even the twins cldn't stand eating the food. It was THAT BAD!

Some Pictures from instagram! Add me through my username, Nadine Tay! (:

Sirlion steak & mushroom soup.
Both js as bad! The soup was far more worse!

V plain tasting.

The only thing tt impressed me was how efficient they were. Once ur food is ready, the black beeper will start ringing to inform u tt u can collect ur fd, rather than standing at the stall for minutes.

Loving my floral bralet from The Juice Market. So comfy (:

Momsie & Nik.

W Tash.

Chocolate fudge cake.
SO GRAINY! Why is the cake so grainy!? & It taste bad!

Strawberry crumble.
Need i say again? Bad bad bad bad...

We only liked the atmosphere & decor of Marche.

We ended up sharing a bag of Famous Amos! Hahahaha.

Anyways, i start work on 1 Nov! Working @ Wild Honey (: Was so glad when u was told i got the job :DDD

P.S. CAN'T WAIT TO GO HK! I need the short break before starting work all over again.

Friday night partying!

2011-10-16T21:10:00.001+08:00

PARTY @ ZOUK IN CELEBRATION OF OUR GRADUATION (:

Bought this dress from Bugis village last yr & this is my first time wearing it.

Always playing the '5sec rule' drinking game. Lol. See Ferdian at the back counting so slowly -.-

Tequila shots.

This guy started dancing out of nowhere like he was trying to challenge someone to do a dance off w him. LOL. Only the guy in the blazer bothered to entertain him.

See how extreme he went?? LOL.

HAHA This pic is funny!! See the guy right @ the back smiling so widely?? He is js some random stranger who was trying to be funny & none of us realised lor -.- Lol.

It was a fun night (: I don't club much. In fact, i dislike the taste oh alcohol. Idk why. It js makes me irk. So bleh. Lol. If u see pics of me drinking it's only cause i'm forcing myself & also, i am forced to drink!! Haha.

COME SUPPORT ME :)

2011-10-14T00:24:00.003+08:00

Last day @ Phuket!

2011-10-13T21:55:00.001+08:00

My last day at Phuket was spent at the beach, pool & night markets. We had a early flight to catch so we slept early. I think 5 days at Phuket is more than enough time. Cause honestly, there's NOTHING much to do there other than their water activities. Which u wld only need 2-3 days? Other than tt, its js plain shopping which i wldn't recommend you girls to do ur shopping at. It's expensive & i'd rather go BKK to shop.

The night market @ Patong. It's rly huge!

They hv an alley where the whole stretch are filled w clubs!

R & i did a caricature of ourselves! Waited like 1 hr for our turn. Lol.

We had to sit there & smile for a good 15mins. Whereby our jaws started aching. LOL.

End result! Okay it doesnt really look like me. But, caricatures are supposed to make u look cartoonish anyway.

P.S. TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL ((: Wheee :D

Small eateries & Random Stuff.

2011-10-11T00:14:00.000+08:00

HELLO! (:
Here's a collation of eateries i went & other random stuff! (: Haven't had the time to blog about all these so it is kinda outdated but.. Oh wells. Haha.

Dinner @ Ramen 10, @ Far East Plaza basement a couple of weeks ago. Ramdhan bought the the coupon from Groupon & gave it to R & i to use since he wasn't using it! So anw, the food was not tt bad. But i couldn't finish it. Quite a huge portion for 1 person.

R's Ramen. I love the soup! (:

Dinner @ Paradise centre basement! Found a Western shop tt sells good food @ really cheap prices! Plus the portion is amazingly v filling despite the low cost.

Seafood pasta w Tomato sauce!
The Tomato sauce was a tad too sweet! But overall it was not tt bad (:

Baked Rice w Sausage in Tomato sauce.
R didn't finish it cause he said the tomato sauce was too sweet & every bite he took it got worse.
If the Tomato sauce wasn't a prob, the dish would have been perfect! (:

R & i love dining @ MFM! (: We always share the Seafood platter for 2. It's so so good! (:

Went to Bugis Village few weeks ago & i was shocked to see tt it has changed so much!! Def much better w the new installations of air con & extra shopping levels!!

My Scalloped Collar Dress is from Amber Avenue.
Had to use a belt to shorten the dress a lil as it was too long! I kinda look like Santa's little helper. LOL.

Movie night w R @ Vivo. Watched Abduction! Good movie! (:

Spice Odessy

2011-10-09T22:04:00.004+08:00

On 7 October, Friday, was my class's Spice Odessy. Something like Final Year Proj. We had abt 2 months to plan. Each team was given a Spice Kingdom & my group got 'Culinary'. So we had to plan our 4 canapes according to our Kingdom. Lucky for us, Culinary was an easy Kingdom which we could practically come up with any dish.
The other 3 Kingdoms were, 'Rainbow', 'Aroma' & 'Beauty & Wellness'. We had to sketch out our ideas & show it to Chef WB. He helped change some stuff here & there. We practiced our canapes & brought it to school to seek for approval from Chef WB.
On the actual day itself, i was really happy that my mum could attend! (: I knew she would love it cause every group had a different concept & theme! It was truly an amazing experience! Everyone was so nervous! My group rehearsed our presentation like 5-6 times tt day. Lol.

Behind the scene pictures:

My group mates in my room doing the proj. They messed up my room lor! I went a lil crazy & i kept telling them nt to mess up my room until they got irritated! I cnt stand it when there are so many things lying on the floor! SO MESSY!

Fruit carving done by Kavee! Very detailed & nicely carved! (:

Momsie liked their welcome drink a lot! Haha.

It's a dog's world!

2011-10-08T23:02:00.000+08:00

Chanced a upon several dogs in Phuket & some are mad adorable!!

Stray dog was quite friendly. Probably a bit too friendly. LOL.

F21 & N.E.U Look

2011-10-07T01:12:00.000+08:00

Shopped w my mum the other day & i found a couple of stuff tt i instantly fell in love with. A pity it was a tad too pricey considering the fact tt the material is not worth the steep pricing! Oh wells. Hopefully my trip to HK will hv the kinda clothes i have been eyeing on (:

Oatmeal Shorts from F21.

Leopard print paperbag shorts from Neu Look.

Red Scalloped Collar from Neu Look.
Want this so badly! :( But $55.60 ain't worth it.

Trust.

2011-10-05T23:25:00.005+08:00

When someone says they'll help you, never be quick to trust. Trust needs to be earned. But when i take your word for it & expect you to get the job done & no progress is made, my trust for you goes back to ground zero.
The world is a harsh & cruel world. Where everyone is so fucked up, selfish & a bunch of liars. Whatever happened to 'Love your neighbour as much as you love yourself?' From now on, i'm not gonna trust anyone, but myself. It's my dream, i'll get it done myself. I loathe procrastinations.. It's a bad bad habit. & I'm not gonna become one. Why on earth do i even bother trying to help others w nothing but GOOD INTENTIONS.. But the only help i was offered had an hidden agenda! How fucking selfish? Gawd i wish i'd hv listened to my mum earlier!

My mum is my perfect role model & she is v successful running her own business. I wanna be as successful as she is. She taught me since young on how to run a business & the kind of people i wld meet. Be it good or bad, she always taught me the basics on how to overcome difficult ppl. Ultimately, if nothing u want gets done, do it your own! For u only know best. & I think i'm gna do just tt! I invested so much money & time into my dream, so i should be responsible for every single fucking detail. I'm nt gonna get any help anymore. I'm pissed.. So freaking mad tt i am so damn gullible! I'm turning 20 soon. Nt gonna be a block head.. Not anymore.

Phuket Day 4!

2011-10-05T13:26:00.003+08:00

The 2nd day of our water activities was much more relax & lesser travelling time.. Which was good! (: Did something tt none of us have ever tried before.. SEA WALKING! Have any of u heard of it before? It's really cool & there were school of fishes swimming around us. It was friggin cool ttm! We did snorkelling too! Thank God for good weather!

On the boat to Coral island.

We went snorkeling first! (: Saw sea urchin, colourful fishes & a super long fish!!

ME! (: Haha.

The snorkeling photos aren't tt clear cause the sea water was kinda cloudy.

We all thought tt long fish was a swordfish! Hahaha. So scary looking.

Zubs & Banana! (((: We had so much fun!

((:

SEA WALKING TIME!! ((((((:

We were transfered to another boat where it was held. See the White helmets? Tt's what we wore when we went into the sea for oxygen.

Going down!! ^^

The 4 of us! ((: IT WAS SO COOL!!!!

The super nice instructor helped us take photos! Can u see the Finding Nemo fish(Clown fish)?!

We were given a lump of bread to feed the fishes! They immediately swarmed around us & i could feel them nibbling at my hands. Not painful at all (:

We spent a good 30mins inside which was more than enough time! I couldn't take the pressure & i felt like my head was gna explode any time. Lol. U see the tubes in the background? Those tubes were connected to our astronaut like helmets for oxygen.

Cute bunnies at the island!

Lunch time! We were super famished!! The food provided was much better than the day before!

Time to bury zuby & make her into a SHE-MALE! (((: It was effing hilarious!

Hehe ^^

The guy who took this photo for us & his group of friends kept laughing. I think the whole beach of people were staring at us. LOL. We were the only ones playing w sand. Hahaha.

Then the craziness begun. LOL. Laughed till i teared a lil. It was SOO funny please!

HAHAHA ZUBY! LOL. Chicks w dicks.
P.S. The dick sculptor is none other than RIDZUAN! Lol who else right??
& Don't expect to see me posing like Rai & R did. Haha i ain't tt spontaneous!

R being his usual self..

We did Henna Tatto! (:

R's.

Rai's.

Zuby so fierce! LOL.

& Mine (: I got the guy to do a design i found frm the net (:

My fav picture of us ^^ Heh (:

On our way back we saw a goat standing on the chair eating leaves! Haha so cute!

Changed hotel & the driver brought us to our destination, Club Bamboo (: I would not recommend this hotel though it is only $18/night. Cheap but super inconvenient! It is located on the top of the hill & it is tiresome to walk up & down. & It ain't a short walk!

I will post up a video of the sea walking activity soon! (: It's a must watch! Again for the gezillionth time.. IT'S SUPER COOL! Hahaha (:

Phuket, Day 3!

2011-10-03T14:10:00.003+08:00

Day 3 we had to wake up at 7am as the driver will pick us up & bring us to our destination. The boat ride was horrendous. Being an anti-boat person, it was hell for me. I was so giddy tt i felt so nauseous. The worst thing was tt the ride wwas so long it felt like forever! It kept raining too :( Sad day to do water activities. Still, at least we got to see the breath taking scenery tt made me happy (:

Upon reaching the jetty, we met our super bimbotic-but-very-cool tour guide! "Her" name is JENNIFER! Hahaha "she's" so stylo lor! See her pink Leopard print bag! LOL. & her bag actually is empty one -.- Carry for fashion purposes only! Hahaha.

HAHA "She" js suddenly stuffed tt thing is R's mouth js when i snapped the picture! LOL. Super nice timing.

"She" even insulted us lor. Say we jealous cause our boobs smaller than hers -.- Hahaha wth right? Super random.

Sitting outside was a BAD BAD BAD idea! It felt like torture as the boat ride was bumpy & it felt like the worst roller coaster ride, EVER! Poor Zuby vomited.

Phi Phi island!! It was spectacular! So beautiful tt words simply cannot describe the wonders tt God made (: So so so beautiful! Sadly we had only 15 mins to walk ard :(

Next stop, Viking island! Js for sight seeing.

Next stop, Monkey beach! There were so many monkeys running around grabbing food.

Snorkelling was next (: Tt's R btw. U cld see from the sky tt it was about to rain.This is where all hell broke loose. It was a terrible experience from here onwards.

Jennifer was v open.. As u can tell from the pic above. "She" is v sudden. LOL.

Kai Island! It was so nice but a pity it was raining plus it was so cold it felt like i was thrown into a cold country, naked -.- Lol.

See, i was sitting quietly @ a corner as the sea water was pretty warm.

Hahaha see our silly faces! It was damn cold okay! It was STILL raining!!

"She" still can strike a pose & keep so calm with the weather like tt. LOL.

FINALLY FOOD!!! Their lunch buffet provided for us ^^

Hahaha this pic is hilarious. Lol.

Ordered Foie Gras as the 3 of em hv nt tried it before.

Lasagna.

Steak Taretar!
Cannot beat Cocotte's. Haha.

Sirlion Steak.

Went for fish spa! So ticklish! Love it when my feet feels so clean & soft (:

HAHAHA R in funky pants! Looks so 70's!

Tt's all for day 3! Day 4 will be up soon! Day 4 is the BEST! ((: Heh ^^

Phuket trip Day 1

2011-09-29T21:57:00.004+08:00

Took a night flight to Phuket & frankly speaking, there wasn't much to do on the first night as most of the shops were closed. However, we did make good use of the bath tub & had some drinks too (:

Got this friggin awesome Canon underwater camera case before leaving for Phuket @ Sim Lim Sq for $260. Tt was the best bargain i got. I'm pretty sure there's cheaper but i was desperate for one. Daddy helped pay half ((: Heh.

Stopped by this place to get our water activities package & it was real cheap cause we got student prices! ((: Total cost for 2 packages was $80? Compared to others it's really cheap. Plus we had a free ride back to the airport on the day we were leaving.

Here's the address if u're ever going to Phuket! It's just a couple of minutes away from the airport! (:

We settled on 2 packages:

Phi Phi Island (Snorkeling & island hopping & sight seeing & Free lunch buffet)

So anw, we did a test shoot to ensure the picture turns out well, the lighting not too bright or too dark, no shadow overcast, flash settings etc. So.. Here're the results of the process.

Too bright! Colour of the picture looks so off.

It's my first time going various houses for visiting during Hari Raya. I usually only go to 1 but this time round, it's so much more different. Felt kinda awkward though. Anyhoos, I had so much fun w Rai, ShiKin, Zuby & R! (: We visited 3 houses. Sk, Rai & Farna! Yes, Farna! Finally got to see her aft so long! (:

I wore momsie's sarong w/o the kebaya cause she don't wanna lend me )): Lol she said her kebaya v expensive. So.. She refused to lend it to me -.- Oh wells.

Chose the Turquoise sarong! (:

R! ((: He looked mad handsome tt day. Cause he FINALLY styled his hair. Which, i hv been telling him to do so for what seemed like ages!! But yeah, he looks a bit like a 'mat'(gangster) with those glasses. Hahaha.

R saw the White patch on the grass & excitedly said 'Eh so many mushrooms!! Let's go see!!'
Upon a closer look...

It was PEBBLES! Hahahahaha damn funny ttm!!! I laughed so hard. He was so excited somore. LOL!!

Picked Rai & off to Sk's house! (:

Birhang & gang joined us shortly at Sk's house (:

Rai & Sk bought the Koolfever med for me cause i was still having fever & they gladly pasted it on my forehead in the car! LOL.

FARNA!! ((: Heh. We actually went to the wrong house & Rai started playing w some stranger's tortise tt was outside the house! LOL. The guy looked at us like 'Wth is she doing.' LOL! Damn funny. Plus she even said she wanna steal the tortise & put it in her bag -.-

Chocolate Fondant!

2011-09-14T03:03:00.000+08:00

Made Chocolate Fondant, a.k.a Molten Lava Cake, @ hme a week ago. Learnt it from Chef Flo & decided to give it a try. End result- It tasted okay but def nt on par w the one done by Chef Flo. The quality of the chocolate plays a huge role in the outcome of the dessert. But i cannot buy Valrhona choc! So expensive! Lol. So mine was bought frm Phoon Huat. Oh wells.
Anw, i'm sorry i cnt give out the recipe cause it does nt belong to me. U can google the recipe though (:

Milk & Dark choc.

Double boil to melt the choc.

Whisking the flour, eggs & cream.

Chilled before sending it into the oven! (:

So happy tt i actually achieved the 'choc flowing out of the cake' part! ((((: Failed the last time i tried.

Hospitalised.

2011-09-13T16:15:00.007+08:00

Few days ago, i got admitted into the hospital. I had food poisoning, high fever & low blood pressure. My stomach hurt so bad tt i cldn't walk much. Before all tt happened, i was out w R & i thought i cld pull through. It was my first weekend w/o having to go to work! I was excited. But i had to fall sick -.- @ Town, i nearly fainted twice & i had trouble walking ard. R sent me hme & i rested. But i felt even worse & my temp rose even higher.
I got admitted into the hospital ard 2am & they said my blood was infected, low blood pressure, high fever & dehydration. & I had to be put on drips. This is where all hell broke loose. Cause the damn doctor injected me nt once.. But 5 freaking times cause he cldn't find my vein! It was pain like hell & i wanted to scream. It was rly v painful. The needle for the drip was big. Nt the normal ones. I wanted to ask him to stop cause i cldn't take the pain. My left hand is bruised & he ended up using my right hand instead. Aft trying like 5 times he decied to use my right hand -.-

Thank God i'm feeling much better alr.

They gave me 4 bags of Sodium Chloride. I it's think salted water?

R stayed w me before sending me hme. He was dead tired cause he hadn't slept & waited all morning w me.

C&K shoes.

2011-09-12T14:22:00.002+08:00

Having a fever & I'm really bored staying at home :( Since i've got the time, i shall blog (: Show ya'll pictures of the C&K shoes tt i bought! Tried the lighting tt R made for me & the White backdrop tt we bought to take pictures. Turns out kinda nice. Am satisfied w the outcome 'cept for the shadow (:

Night Safari w the girls.

2011-09-08T02:50:00.001+08:00

If i had to choose between Night Safari & Zoo? I wld def go w Zoo! There's so much more things to see & do there. Besides, the animals at both places are somewhat the same lor. Nt really a huge fan of Night Safari cause cannot take flash photography. Night time don't use flash photography then how to see clearly! -.-
Still, i'm glad we were treated like VIPs all thanks to Ramdhan ^^ We went on a weekend & it was dead crowded. & The best part of it all.. WE DID NOT HV TO QUEUE FOR ANY SINGLE THING!! ((: We practically had access to the tram rides & their Animal show. Dislike long queues.

HAHAHAHA SHIKIN! LOL!

With Rai (:

The queue for tis show is friggin crazy! It's damn long man. THANK GOD FOR RAMDHAN!! ((: We literally walked right pass the long line of ppl & js went in w seats reserved! LOL.

Show was so-so only ): Cause some animals refused to perform. Oh wells.

(((((:

W the girls ((:

Zuby glows. Lol

My name! (:

Yes, i used flash to take this Mouse Deer. Lol. Broke the rule every nw & then. Teehee ^^

We were actually kinda fortunate tt day. Most of the animals were v near the glass. Usually they wld be hiding somewhere.

We went home happy. I think i enjoyed myself only cause of the company tt day (: They were funny (:

Dinner w momsie & the twins today @ Ivins! ^^ So happy! Finally get to satisfy my craving for Peranakan food, particularly Bua Keluah, for like the longest time ever!! Then hopped over to Ice Cream Chef's which was a throw stone's away from Ivins (: Oh &.. It's best not to visit Ivin's on a Weekend cause they are usually packed, which results in super slow service & some are rude. The food is not tt bad.. But cannot beat my Granny's cooking la. Hahaha.

Ice Cream Chef's
No.12 Jalan Kuras, Upp Thomson

(Opening hours: 12pm-11pm)

Try the Ayam Bua Keluah(the Black nut in the pic) dish if u ever dine @ any Peranakan restaurant! However, i must warn u tt this dish is an acquired taste & not many know how to appreciate the taste.

Had the Creme Brulee flavour & it was yummy!! But it taste nothing like creme brulee -.- Lol. Their other flavours did not look nor sound appealing. Only the creme brulee caught my eye & actually tasted as good as it sounds. Most of their ice creams were like so-so only? Not those tt wld really 'Wow' you though.

Various toppings.

Momsie loved it so much tt she ate more than half of it! Lol.

Skirt is from F21 (:

My does of happiness!

DouDou has been having skin problems & keeps scratching/biting till her skin becomes really Red. Hv been bringing her to several vets but none worked. The WORST vet ever wld be the one located @ TPY. I cnt rmbr the location but i knw it's like near warehouses & it is VERY small. My mum brought DouDou to the one @ Balestiar & they were awesome! The medicine they prescribed for her is def working & we were told to rinse her w salt water everyday, feed her nothing but fruits, veg, rice or her dried oats. Her condition is def improving A LOT! She is no longer scratching tt often & i am glad she is recovering (: We hv paid extra attention to her too as the veterian said she is v stressed as she is usually bored as most of us aren't hme in the morn & afternoon. So she starts licking/scratching herself out of boredom.

DouDou (: I shaved her fur so tt her skin condition can heal faster. I love her big round eyes! So adorable.

Here's a vid of her playing & doing tricks! Mad cute! Happy tilting ur heads though! :x Sorry bout tt. Heh ^^

New clothes!

2011-09-03T00:44:00.004+08:00

H&M is opening later & people hv alr started queuing up ytd evening. Lol super kiasu. I'm only gna visit the store when the hype has died down? So the changing rooms won't be so packed & i hate long queues. Sucha waste of time.

Bohemian related items/clothings are an eye candy to me. I am madly in LOVE w Bohemian items. It's so pretty! (: This dress is from Vaingloriousyou. My fav online shop plus the owner, Tricia, is SUPER friendly & has v good people-relation skills. So far, i wld rate her bs the best i've come across in terms of service provided.

On a side note.. Met up w Rai& SK aft school ytd. We met nt more than 1hr as it was gng midnight ): But i'm glad i got to see them for tt short while. & Rai tied for SK & i fish plaits! So nice right??! She gna teach R how to tie so he can do it for me! ^^ Heh ((:
