Weekend dates

:) Weekend passed in the blink of an eye. It's Sunday and just hours away, it's a brand new week again.

Spent the Saturday morning in East Coast Park. Preparing myself for the night cycling trip coming up in 2 weeks time. I got this feeling that the route my colleagues plan is going to be looooonnnng! -___-""

Woke up slightly earlier and prepared a lunch box for Mr Lin! :) HAHAHA! It's coincidence that my sister is going to Sentosa for picnic. So I goup some food from her too! :) 
 

Lunch box :)

Started our cycling trip at around 1pm. Initially our plan was to cycle to Changi Village and back. But due to the time constraint (meeting our Dearies later in the evening), we decided to shorten our route to Changi Beach Park. 

Stopped at Lagoon Beach Food Village for a bowl of Laksa! ^_^!!! Remember the last post I mentioned about this Roxy Laksa? HAHAHAHA! Yeah, I'm back for the 2nd round! And this time round I snapped a shot before eating! :)

 面对面 - Roxy Laksa :)

HAHAHA! This bowl of Laksa cost me $5 and it's totally worth the price. Fresh prawns and fish cakes with the thick and smooth gravy makes your yearn for more. ^_^!!! Each pieces of prawn is carefully sliced into half and you can see that it's still thick and chewy. Very worthy! :) 

Look out for them in the 面对面 episode! :) 

Evening time had our dinner at Mad for Garlic using the Deal's vouchers. :) Had our favorite Calzone Pizza & Cesar Salad :) YUMS! :)

Calzone Pizza (w Sweet Garlic Sauce); Sourish Cesar Salad

Still early after our hearty dinner so went on to find a place to watch Soccer (As per Cedric's request). LOL! We went to Arab Street and found a bluish shop "Aura" with  big TV. Too bad we arrived late and all the good seats are taken up. Nevertheless, I had a Long Island tea (still my favorite) and watched the match. A good night sleep!

Sunday is spent at home, doing nothing but housework and cooking lunch with my mum! :) HAHAHA!

P.S:　知道不管我的事，但是还是为我朋友感到愤怒。送你一句话：不要把自己的幸福建立在别人的身上。

When someone 毫不犹豫 help you with no terms and conditions, you know that he's the one for you. I found mine. Thank you for your help and concern. Truly.  

Just Noodles

:) Recently addicted to "Just noodles"! HAHAHAHA! Can't wait to try all the noodles out! :)

 

德明叉烧云吞面 from Dunman Food Center :) 

Our first stop: Wanton Mee! :) This was recommended as cheapest yet yummy by the show. Indeed, from the picture, you can see the amount of 面 in it. And not only that, the boss is very generous with the char siew and best of all, there's 4 (!!!) wantons! ^_^!!! HAHAHAHA! Nowadays, you don't get to see this kind of generosity. 

And it's just $2.50!!! *OMG!* Taste is good, not the typically type of wanton mee where the sauce is black in color. The sauce used here is somewhat like stock and with a bit of the chili sauce, the taste is just nice. But be warned, the chili is DAMN SPICY! -___-"

 黄金潮州鱼圆面 from Golden Mile Food Center :)

Was told that this was 人气第1 fish ball noodles as recommended by the Netizens! :) I'm not a big fan of fish ball noodles, but surprisingly I enjoyed this bowl of noodle! Don't just see from the picture, but the amount of 料 is a lot. Prawn, char siew, pork slices! And it costs only $3! HAHAHA! Cheap and delicious! :)

Coming Saturday I'm going to East Coast Park to cycle (prepare myself for the upcoming night cycling trip) and also to eat the Roxy Laksa at the Lagoon Food Center! ^_^!! HOHOHO! It's going to be on the next Just Noodles - Laksa Episode so look out for it! 

I have already eaten once last week, but forgotten to snap a shot! It's too irresistible! ^_^!!!! *YUMS YUMS!*

我要学做饭!!!!

I yearn for home-cooked food. Always.

I always appreciate whenever I get to sit down around the round table and sit down with family to enjoy the dinner. 

:) All the home cooked food! :) ......................

Dinner at Miss Wu's house! All the dishes prepared by her hubby! HAHAHA! And all I did was to wait and eat only. ^_^!!! Chinese style, but it's delicious! Especially all the dumplings! Yummilicious! ^_^!!!

Steamboat dinner at Mr Lin's place! :)

Random dinner. 9 of us sitting around a small table. Warm. It's good to have a big family sometimes. ^_^!!!

Random post. 

I just feel like writing something because the troubled feeling is back once again. Shit. I hated it. Can't wait for 18th to come.Wanna just get away from here, even for just 1 day. 

1st time looking into Optimus Prime at such a close range!!!

Woke up at 6am and the 1st thought that came to my mind is "Ahh, it's Monday, a brand new 5-day week!"

Trying to drag myself out of bed and suddenly realized that I'm on leave today! ^_^_^_^_^_^!!! It's my 2nd trip to Universal Studios Singapore (USS) with Mr Lin, my BFF and Stanley together with Kris!

Went back to sleep awhile more and in the end overslept and was late for breakfast! *LOL!*

:) Reached around 1030 and all the ticketing counters are full of people. BIG CROWD! We chose to go on a Monday was to avoid the crowd, but unfortunately, we didn't know that Malaysia is having 2 days of public holidays.We got our tickets at a discounted price and there was a surprise waiting inside for us! :)

20 express queue tickets! ^_^!!! No more long queue!

Started the day with Mr Frankenstein! HAHAHA! He's quite a funny guy because he will just lace your hands around his head. Next on the stop was Madagascar! :) The photographer is super nice because he took 4 shots for us! LOL! We get to move around and change to different poses. ^_^! 

After Shrek 4D, we went for our warm-up exercise! :) We went for the Enchanted Airways Dino Ride first! HAHAHA! It's a small roller coaster for the kids. Not that fast which explained the picture that we took live. *LOL!*

:) We decided to get wet first so that we can dry up while spending the rest of the day on the different rides. :) Rapid adventure at the Jurassic Park! HAHAHAHA! Lucky Mr Lin gotten his survival kit at the last minute. If not he will be super soaked to the skin. ^_^!!! 

Lunch at the Discovery Court and right after that we went for Canopy Fall to have a bird view of USS. Another live shot while we're on the ride. ^_^!!! Quite tiring while queuing for all the rides, thus we went for the Waterworld show at the Amphitheater. I must say I was super impressed with the show and stunts used. Thumbs up! :)

Following the map, Revenge of the Mummy is next on the list! :) HAHAHAHA! I always love this ride because of the different visual effects in it. Though I knew what to expect, I still got a shock when there was a sudden drop. LOL! 

Highlight of the day: Transformer Ride! :) HAHAHAHA! We knew that the queue will be super duper long, so we used our express tickets and went straight up to the ride! OMG! It's like 1 minute later, you're sitting in the capsule waiting for the ride to start. ^_^! That's the good thing about the express queue! :)

I'm totally lost in the whole ride. So captivated by the 3D effects and also how the ride went about. A bit of spoiler here. The capsule you're sitting in is actually an Autobot! :) HAHAHAHA! This is a must-take ride so I suggest you go straight for this ride once USS is open for the day. LOL! 

Good things always worth the wait! 2 more rides of the day: Human & Cylon Battlestar Galactica! HAHAHAHA! I'm still scared of the Red ride (Human) because there isn't any support on your upper body. I don't feel safe at all. HAHAHAHA! Cylon is still the best though you will be overturned and twist around, and a 720deg turn! O.O!! I <3 Cylon more! More exciting and safer because your whole shoulder will be belted up.

Cool down exercise: Accelerator, i.e: Teapot! :) HAHAHAHA! Just to get dizzy before we leave for the day.

Still looking good before the ride. LOL! :)

A Panoramic view of Broadway.

:) Walked around the Broadway and snap some shots. By that time, my legs are so sour that I can barely walk. LOL! Had a quick dinner at Vivocity before going home (it's another working day the next day).

Here's a shot of me, him and Bumblebee! :) 

Gotta sleep, have a good night ahead! :)

:)

:) Got a pleasant SURPRISE from Mr Lin just now! Till now, I'm still blushing....LOL!

Thanks for cheering me up, I needed that.

韩国我来了!!!

YEAHHHHH, I got the go ahead from Mr Lin to book for our Korea trip! Though it's next year, but still I can start to countdown slowly......WAHAHAHAHA!

Had a great night talking with my Senior, seems like there's so many places that I wanna visit now. ^_^_^_^

Maybe Cairns, Australia? HAHAHA!

If only I can travel into the future

:) Just need another 2 more years.

Can't wait.

It's a Dragon YEAR! :) *HUAAATTT AhhhhhHHH!*

:) Today is the first 5-days work week of 2012! And I'm on afternoon shift! Not too bad, cause I get to sleep till 太阳晒到PP! HAHAHAHA! 

This CNY is not much different as last year or the previous years. It's kind of like a routine thing. Going to relatives' houses to 拜年....sit down and uncles & aunties will start to ask you questions. HAHAHA! Can't seems to 逃 away from all these questionings. 

Am glad my mum let me out on 初二 to go see the Flower exhibition! ^_^!! And lucky that Mr Lin didn't go overseas for CNY this year!

The tram ride queue takes an hour before we can get to Sentosa. O.M.G! So we decided to talk a walk along the Broadway and enjoy a light breeze. 

The first sight of blooms when we went passed the Gentry into Sentosa! :)

:) Finally manage to get a shot of the big USS globe without anyone else in the picture! LOL!

Walking down towards the Merlion place, you will see a lot of different flowers exhibits on different Dragon's statue. Very crowded day, and we're lucky that this shot has minimal tourist in it. HAHAHAHA!

:) By the end of the day, we're so tired walking around the whole place. LOL! Maybe it's because there's too many tourists and we had to make a big round to walk everywhere. 

Left before the crowd starts to disperse....and we manage to take the tram back to Vivocity! :) Had a quick dinner at Brozeit! :)

Right after dinner, it's Viral Factor movie! ^_^!!! HAHAHAHA! I'm not a fan of Jay Chou or even Nicholas Tse but from the preview it seems like a full of action movie. HAHAHA! So we used the HSBC prepaid card and got ourselves 2 tickets! 

And I must say our tickets are worth it! :) HAHAHAHA! It's a nice show! (Surprisingly!)

On a super side note, I'm so addicted to a new Korean drama recently! B.R.A.I.N! Not a typical romance drama, but a doctor's show. Full of brain surgery scenes. Not too bloody but a bit too gross. HAHAHA! Anyway, I like how the main character can be so arrogant yet deep down he's just like a normal human being, about to feel hurt and pain.

:) Short story, 20 episodes and I completed them in 4 days! I know it's a bit slow. -_-"" 

P.S: I wanna play Mahjong!!! HAHAHAHA!

First post in 2012! :)

:) Had a splendid time at the Countdown party for 2012. Imagine fireworks are around you, playing non-stop for the last hour before the new year arrived. 

I'm glad I went to Phuket for the countdown. It was definitely an eye-opener to see so many people crowding on the beach, drinking beer and shouting at one another.

:) All the fireworks behind us! ^_^!!! 

3rd Phuket trip in 2011. HAHAHAHA! I can say confidently that I know my way around there. So if you ever needs a guide, feel free to call me! *LOL!* Of course, it will be nice if you provide my air tickets + accommodation! :) 

This trip is a bit different because Jingyuan & I had to plan all the activities for the rest (who is their virgin trip to Phuket). We drove to our own hotel, and also around Phuket to different places for sightseeing. 

Us on board the flight :)

Our 1st lunch in Phuket, MK Gold Restaurant. Their duck is awesome, but I think the last time was even better! :) And a shot of us in the 1.3L Avanza (to carry 6 people up the slopes is a challenge!)

The rest of the photos are already up in Facebook, so you guys can just see them there. ^_^!

Now, I'm seriously planning for the trips for the entire year! It's so exciting, because I got the go-ahead from Mr. Lin to go Korea! O.M.G!!!!

*YEAHHHHHH!!!!*

Run, ran, running! :)

And after so many years of acting, he's still running as fast (at the age of 49!). *thumbs up!*



I just can't help but to admire his works.

Finally, after a year! :)

12th December 2010 was my last try to donate blood. And I failed. Because I didn't get to have enough Fe in my system. 

A year later, 16th December 2011, I sat there nervously waiting for my Fe results and praying that the value shown will be >12.5. If not it's another wasted trip and I got poked for nothing. LOL!

And there it was "13.6!" HAHAHA! I jumped up and went straight to find myself a chair to sit on! It means I can donate blood! WAHAHAHAHA! I guess those Fe supplements works and yeah, I'll continue eating them because I wanna be a regular donor from now on! :) 

:) And that's me with my blood flowing out and right into that duper big bag (It's 450mL btw). And looking good after the whole process. I'm kind of worried I'll feel faint since I haven't had my breakfast and lunch. *YAY!*

On a side note, many people had the wrong concept that donating blood is painful. I had the first hand experience, so let me tell you, the pain is just like an ant biting you. I won't deny that there's pain, but trust me, the pain is short-lived and seriously it's much lesser than if you knock yourself into the wall. ^_^!!!

So don't wait anymore, bring a smile to someone and save another life. :) It's just an hour of your time only, but you can give the person another chance to see tomorrow.

MI:4 is damn awesome! *^_^!*

:) 1 week ago I kept looking out for tickets to the premier of MI:4, and yes there was a special sneak preview at selected GVs! :)) 

Gotten my tickets right away to secure a good seat! ^_^!

I was so looking forward to the end of work so I can rush down for the movie! HAHAHAHA! And when I reached there, I was surrounded with "black people". First thought on my mind: Did I went to the wrong theater? And then when I see it's really MI:4, I thought maybe it's because tomorrow is a Black people's public holiday, which is not true. *Kept wondering why*

Show started and all the way I was kept occupied and right on the edge of my seat! :) Not going to tell you guys much about the plot, because I want you to go watch it yourself! ^_^!!! Those stunts that Tom Cruise did in the show is definitely worth your ticket price (and he's already 49!). 

One of my favorite lines from the movie:

Benji Dunn: (From trailer) [Showing a glove] Now remember: "Blue is glue!"

Ethan Hunt: And red?

Benji Dunn: Dead.

Alright, it might not sound funny here, but if you combined with all the funny expressions from their faces, you'll laugh.

And almost through the end of the show, I finally know why there's so many black people. It's because the last part of the show is filmed in India? Just a wild guess. HAHAHAHA! And after this show, I totally have a different mental image of India. You'll understand when you watched the show. WAHAHAHAHA!

Don't wait, go buy yourself a ticket. (If you guys need someone to accompany you, I don't mind watching a second time. ^_^! I'm a BIG Fan of T.C!)

Here's the trailer for you:

And not to forget this show is doing advertisement for both Apple and BMW! Now I know that iPhone can do more than just whatsapp and facebook-ing! And all those BMW cars are just too gorgeous to crash into one another! HAHAHA! Quite wasted!

Last night was a great night! ^_^!!!

SSMC Carnival cum Family Day 2011

It's true that just for the 4 hours of event for people to enjoy and have fun, will require 10 times more of your time to plan and prepare for it. But I'm really glad that the event turn out to be a success and everyone went home a smile on their face. ^_^!!!

This is just a short Thank You post, for everyone that has helped me in one way or another throughout the 2 weeks of planning. (Bear with me, it might get nag-gy!) 

1) SRC Team (You know who you are!)

Without you guys I'm pretty sure the whole event will not even get approved by the MT. HAHAHA! Each of you played a different part to make this Carnival so successful and memorable. And also through this whole process, I get to know each of you better. And that's the most important 收获 for me. 

2) My Diffusion peeps (Shu Fen, Wei Zhong & Keith)

Many thanks to Shu Fen for agreeing to be the Stall Manager and planning the details with me right from the start. The ideas for each stall to the allocation of prizes to going to Giant to help me carry all the stuff back to company. You've been a great help (Truly!)

Wei Zhong, for helping to tend to the Game stall and keeping all the kids so entertained that they came back again and again to try and win all the prizes. HAHAHAHA! You're really good with kids, and of course at the last part of the whole carnival tending to the Drink stall.

Keith, for sponsoring so many EXPENSIVE gifts for our stalls. Man, I think those prizes worth up to $500? (or even more!). And not to forget, sending me around to get my logistics done. Appreciate your help!

3)  Mr Lin

Short and Simple: Always there for me! :) Alright, to elaborate more, he send me to Giant to get all my supplies back and carry all the heavy stuff for me. (Not enough?) For every night that I worked into the wee hours, he volunteer to drive me back home (which is like the other side of Singapore). And also to sleep in the car when I worked till 2am in the morning the day before the carnival before driving me back for some 2-3 hours of sleep. And all these are not part of his job, he's just doing them from his heart. :)

4) Everyone

For everyone who turned up for the event to support us, I really hope you guys had fun and enjoyed it as much as I did.

:) I'm glad the carnival is over, but yet a part of me still 舍不得 those weekly meetings where everyone gathers and discuss the smallest details.

Pictures will be uploaded at a later time, when all the official photographers have submitted their copy. I can't wait to see them! :))

Quote from a friend: It's through your hard times where you get to know who's really your friend. Now I really know who are my friends and who I should appreciate more.

Melting Pot Cafe

:) So here's what I promise you guys, an update on last Monday! 

Had to rush down to The Melting Pot Cafe (Holiday Inn Atrium) because work ended so late that day. Anyway, I left in the middle of the meeting, as Mr Lin is already waiting outside for more than half an hour. :( 

Took a cab down and was just nice in time for the reservations.

I was ravished and just started attacking all the food! LOL! I would say the food is just so-so only, have tasted better. But there's this beef stew that keep me very satisfied, and the amount I ate made me felt as though 我吃了一头牛! *LOL!*

Here's a shot of us playing with the Satay. ^_^!!!

Who says girls can't have a moustache? 

Rounds after rounds of food, and finally a cup of hot tea to clear our gastric.

 Of course, we can't leave without having some desserts right? :)

We went to explore the hotel and found that there's quite a number of function rooms. Among these rooms is their Atrium Ballroom. Not as big as I thought to be.

The one thing I super like when I entered the hotel is the super long columns where the lift operates. I would love a shot of the whole lift all the way till the roof top. But of course, I need to lie down on the floor to take such a shot? :)))

We played with the camera for awhile right in front of the hotel reception area (hoping that no one is looking at us).

 

:) I have been busy with the all the Carnival stuff that I don't get to spend much time with him. Gotta make up all the lost time when it's all over. 

3 events during the weekends (Total shagness!):

Saturday 3rd December - SSMC Carnival 2011

Sunday 4th December - Standard Chartered Marathon (Morning) and Wedding dinner (Night)

Can I choose 2/3 events to attend only? :(
