what seems like ages...+*hAPpy BdAe Daddy*

(*Taken on Wednesday when out with Dar's Mummy and Sister*)

It seems like ages since I last updated this space here. And it's not that I've been super busy but it's probably just my fingers playing a little truant here.

Nothing much happened last week...or even for the past weekend, except for the fact that Bella's in her holiday mood again! Been on leave since last Friday afternoon! =) Other then going to eat with Dar's mummy and sister on Wednesday at a "Xing-Hua" dialect (aka Dar's family dialect) eatery to eat at Vivocity, the rest of the work-week last week was rather boring and mundane.

Last Friday, after some training in the morning, Bella went to the doctor to replenish my skin itch medicine and then took a half day MC. After which I went to find Dar (who was patiently waiting for me at home). Had my lunch and slept for the afternoon, before we went out to buy my Daddy's pressie and his fren's pressie at evening time. We had initially intended to eat Spaggadies, but decided to change our minds after seeing the long long queue. We headed to Takashimaya basement foodcourt instead where I got to eat Korean food from one of the branches of the Manna Korean Restaurant. I love their Spicy chicken set a lot!!heex...Dar had his fried prawn noodles and oyster omelette. We didn't get to find my Daddy's pressie though, but we did get to buy the book Dar wanted to buy for his buddy. Dar bought me a wine book too!!heex...time to catch up on my wine stuff! (support http://winelov3r.blogspot.com) hahax...

Saturday was just sleeping time for me. Then Sunday, after lunchie, Dar came home with me to help me fix my new bed!!Yeah~~ and thanks to Dar...Bella now have her every own new bed! *smilez*

(Dar @ work..heex)

As for yesterday, I had the rare chance to go to attend lesson with Dar at SIM. But as much as I wanted to accompany him, after 1.5 hours in the lecture theatre...Bella find herself fidgeting around and dozing off at the same time. So when break time finally came, I requested Dar to bring me to the library so I can use the computer and surf net. Fortunately Dar only had one lesson that day (but it last for 3 hrs!), so I waited for him with my half closed eyelids. Finally 1130am came and Dar's released from lesson!!Yippy~

I wanted so much to eat the "Zi Bao Ji i.e. Paper wrapped chicken" that I lurrrveee so much...but only to find it closed when we walked over to the place!!!Arghhhh...so no choice we proceeded to our next destination to eat! I slept through out the bus ride...and finally reached AMK Hub at around 12pm. Went to Ichiban Sushi to eat! It's been soooooo long since I last had sushi!! Dar had a half curry udon while I indulged in my sushi!! Yum Yum!

(Chawamushi!!)




(SushiSss..I had my crabmeat and egg mayo sushi too!!but my mouth action was faster then the camera speed!hahax)

After which we walked around and went to buy shaver for my Daddy for his pressie before going to AMK library to collect Dar's reserved book. And then finally, it was movie time! We went to watch the show "Painted Skin" cos' Dar's favourite actor was in there - Donnie Yan! It's a really nice show...but just that some of the faces inside kinda kept me awake last night! hahax...

(Movie: Painted Skin)

After movie, Dar accompanied me to go for my grocery shopping!!Went to buy my Milk Mania cleansing foam from Skin Food before heading to supermarket to buy foody food for myself! Bought me and my Mum new soft furry slippers to wear at home and also yogurt, chocolates and many more to reward myself for the week. After the grocery buying...Dar then treated me to New York New York for an early dinner (cos' it was only 5pm plus then)..hahax! I tried a new dish which I never tried before while Dar stick on to his Aglio Olio. Then after buying a super super big bottle of shampoo...we took a cabbie home!

I just got back home for today. Had a uber boring training this morning...after which I went back to office to do my timesheet before heading to Raffles Place to buy wrapper for my Daddy's pressie! It's my Daddy's bade today!!*hApPy Birthday to you Daddy!* and we're going to Goodwood Park area for dinner tonight! Might be having a KTV session after dinner with my colleagues but it's still not confirmed. Hmm...I better go have some rest for now..cos' Bella's been down to quite a bad flu for the whole morning til now. Shall update again soon...*promise* (^^)

~15th to 21st September 2008~

(Dar and me at IKEA shopping!)

Yep I know I took real long to post up my previous post, so here's some make-up by posting my past week up without delay!!hahax...

Nothing very special took place actually...it was just work work and still work. Bella has been traveling down to Alexandra Terrance area for my current audit, but with most of the things there settled, we decided to pull out on Thursday first with the documents we have while waiting for the pending ones from another Administrator. So with this it was work every day from Monday all the way till Thursday for me.

A little treat came by on Wednesday just like the past weeks if you have been reading my blog...and that is dinner with Dar and his mummy and sister. This week we went to Suntec for dinner at 别俯 (Bie Fu Restaurant). I haven't had Ramen there for very long still the branch at China Square moved away. I went back to office from client's place rather early cos' my A10 had a engagement briefing to attend. So I hang around in office till around 545pm before taking a bus down to Suntec to meet Dar. I'm like super handicapped that day cos' Bella forgot to bring her mobile phone out with her that day. The bus took super long to arrive. I finally met up with Dar at around 610pm before we went to Suntec to walk walk. Heex...guess where we went?

(Hahax..here's the Mario game...alrights...Dar won!-.-)



(And here's me with my game station..hahax)

(Dar and me at the game stations~game completed!=p)

We went to the Arcade for games!!haha...cos Dar's mummy and sister will take a while more to reach...so while we were taking a walk at Suntec area, we came across the arcade there and decided to go in. It's been sooooooo long since I last went to an arcade! We played the Mario driving game and also the "colour button" games that needs to keep hitting one (if you know which one I'm talking about..hahax). Though it was just a short gaming session...I totally enjoyed it! After that we went to the basement area to wait for Dar's mummy and sister to reach. But while waiting we found a small corner to settle down and played some golf games on Dar's handphone. hahax...time passed rather fast and our stomach began growling non-stop...hahx!

(Us while waiting for Dar's mummy and sister!)

Then finally Dar's mummy reached and then we proceeded to the restaurant while waiting for Dar's sis to reach. As usual, we ordered quite a lot of food. All of us except for Dar's sis ordered the 4 chilli level ramen while Dar's sis ordered the 2 chilli level ramen. We all left the place uber full! hahax...Then after some shopping at Carrefour, we took a cabbie home!

(We're at Beppu!!love the seasoning...^^)

(Beans!)



(Here's the delicious fried chicken ramen..Dar's sis and me ordered the same thing!Yummy!)

(Wasabi Prawns!!)



(Octopus Balls and Fried Potato balls...heex..nice!)

Like I mentioned, Thursday was pull out day from the engagement..at least for the time being. In fact, we left the client's place rather early at around lunch time. After reaching office, I went to eat Japanese food with my A10 cos' she's like craving for it since Monday..hahax! Then after lunch, went back office to do some work. After having some discussion with my AIC i.e. boss, I left slightly earlier that day cos I wasn't feeling very well.

Friday was the day!!hahax...Bella didn't go work...=p yeah~~ So happen Dar also never go to school to study on that day!!! So after waking up at around 12pm plus, Bella decided to ask Dar to accompany her to IKEA for some shopping! I dressed up and took a cab down to Toa Payoh to meet Dar and his mum cos they went there to do some stuff. By the time I reached they were already eating at Crystal Jade Restaurant cos Dar's mummy had to go work at 3pm. Dar ordered fish porridge for me. Then after eating our brunch there...we took a bus down to IKEA.

(Left: My IKEA boy for the day...heex!Tank cute Dar Dar!)
(Right: Bella trying sofas...=p)

If you can't believe, so do I! Cos' we spent almost 4 hours in there! hahax...We walked through the whole IKEA that day! keke...by 5pm we were feeling a little tired and hungry so we went to the eating area there and ordered ourselves some food.

(Left: The delicious chicken wings at IKEA...Lurrveee it!)
(Right: Uber nice cheese cake to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings!)

(Dar and me after our satisfied meal at IKEA...heex)

And yes I finally bought myself a new bed!! heh heh...as well as some new curtains and boxes to pack my stuff. My maid will be leaving soon...so I really have to pack my things!! I've just changed and had a new door to my bedroom too! Next will be a new study table when the stock comes in...cos the one I like is currently out of stock. Still considering if I should get myself a small 2 seater sofa in my room too...shall see again when I visit IKEA next time for my study table! keke...

(Here's a snap shot of my tired boy after a day of shopping at IKEA...=p)

As for the whole of Saturday and Sunday..it was playing PC games for the whole 2 days plus sleeping and eating at Dar's house! hahax...like a pig i know!

(Oh~ forget to mention...here's a little insight into our duel fried rice competition during Saturday dinner time! hahax)



(plus my vegetables and seaweed chicken..heh heh!=p)

And now Bella's back home...blogging..and sad that the weekend is going to end in a few hours time. Sobx...but then at least I have my new bed to keep me a little excited!!It's gonna arrive tomorrow!!YippY~~

Till my next update...love you guys and take good care ya? Smuacks...

~8th to 14th September 2008~

(Me and Dar at Hyatt once again~)

It's been a week since I last updated my blog. Been rather overwhelmed by my 2nd week core training..cos unlike the first one which I would say is both enjoyable and enriching...the 2nd one was boring and overloaded!

My week was kind of rescued, especially from the Monday Blues, by the International Buffet that I mentioned in my previous post. As a way of rewarding our hard work in interims, as well as encourage us to work harder for our finals in the Morgan Audit this year, we were treated to an international buffet at the Window on the Park Restaurant at the Holiday Inn Parkview Singapore. It's my first time having buffet there. I wouldn't say the food is fantastic cos' I definitely still prefer the one at the Marriott Cafe, but the desserts and some of the random dishes there still managed to please my palate...keke...I kinda like the herbal chicken soup there also..very tasty! heex...

The night didn't end right after the buffet. A few of us went on to Partyworld to sing the night away all the way till 1am when we actually agreed to leave at 1130pm latest since it's just Monday (i.e. the very very start of the week only). But then with the few k-masters how is that ever possible??lolx...we sang and sang and sang...and this time round was the assistants (i.e. my batch) time to give our beloved assistant managers a treat since they treated us the previous time we went singing together. I don't know about the rest but I was feeling really worn out after all the singing...and I only managed to touch my beloved bed at around 230am to 3am. The result is a uber zombie me the next day!!hahax...

(Me with Agnes and Ms Kee...)

So right after training on Tuesday...Bella didn't allow her feets to wonder anywhere else but to head straight home to rest! That night Bella for the very few rare times went to bed before 11pm. Hahax...I was soooo tired that I could barely keep my eye lids wide open while waiting for Dar to reach home so I can say goodnight to him. I'd usually wait for Dar to get ready to sleep so we can turn in together...but when I jump into my bed before he's even ready to turn in...you bet I'm REAALYY tired!!hahax...

Then Wednesday came! Training as usual...but it was also dinner time with Dar and his mum and sis!! Since my training ended at around 530pm, I decided to do some shopping in town while waiting for 7pm to come since they'd only reach then. Bought myself a suit of work-wear and after walking non-stop for like 1hr plus in my heels, I finally decided to find a seat and sit down while waiting for them. Dar and his mum and sis came shortly after and we went to Crystal Jade at Takashimaya basement to eat. There was a long queue...but Yum Yum! heex...

(The yummy duck is not here yet wor~~)



(All the four of us had this - Fresh Shrimps Wanton Noodles!!Yum Yum!!)



(The crispy Shrimp dumplings and crispy duck skin..Nice!)



(Here comes the duck and the plum sauce!)

After dinner, Dar accompanied to Marriott Hotel to buy mooncakes while Dar's mum and sis walked around Takashimaya. We then took a cabbie home from Takashimaya after Dar's mummy bought a new vacuum cleaner. And Bella reached home satisfied with the evening (^.^)

Thursday was the last day of core training and it ended super early...like at around 1pm..hahax! Best day ever!!hahax..and since I had a engagement briefing at around 2pm, I went for lunchie at a rather famous Curry Fish Head stall near Amoy area. I've heard of that place for many times and have yet to give it a try. After trying..I must give thumbs up to it!!the stir-fry sotong is very tasty too!!Yummy lunch!!

Then back to office for my current job engagement briefing all the way till around 325pm before I rushed off for my facial session at Modern Beauty. As usual, I fell asleep during that 1.5hrs there...hahax!Strght after that was home sweet home to rest...but only to find myself being caught by a flu bug at the night came. Was supposed to meet Jolene and co for dinner on Friday night...but because the flu was making me feel restless and the medication I took made me feel so giddy, ended up I didn't get to meet up with them. Sobx sobx...

But still I'm glad I spent the day resting at home on Friday cos' at least it helped to save my Saturday...cos' Saturday Dar promised to bring me out!!heex...I woke up on my own...earlier then Dar and prepared and then took a cabbie down to Dar's house...only to find my Mr. Pig still sleeping!!!Rahhh...So I waited for Dar to wash up. Dar then brought me to our beloved Creation to eat the nice pasta there!! I just live the spicy crabby pasta to bits...just like how much Dar love his Seafood Marinara!hahax...cos' we always order the same thing there!Then we walked over to Suntec hoping to find some Furniture shop but to no avail. So we then walked over to Marina Square to have a walk. I finally bought myself a new sweater from Zara...as well as bought my Brother's belated birthday gift. Oh!!and Dar bought me my favourite Billy Bombers Chocolate milk shake!!!*SlurP* Dar bought a financial planning related book for my Bro as his birthday gift as well.

(Saturday..ready to go out with Dar...)

(Starters...nice Broccoli soup with toasted bread!)

(Right: Dar's beloved Seafood Marinara!)

We then headed down to Takashimaya to buy some snowskin mooncake that I missed out on Wednesday night. Bought another box of Royce Champange Chocolate to add on to my Brother's birthday pressie. Then around 530pm...it was eating time again! But this time round the craving didn't come from me but from Dar Dar! hahax...he was craving for his Lucky Chicken Rice at Lucky Plaza again! So though both of us were not feeling hungry we still went ahead and ate it...just that almost 3/4 of my rice was transferred to his plate!Lolx...=p

(Lucky Chicken Rice!!hahax...)

We hurried home after the meal cos' Dar wanted to go home watch his exciting soccer match at 730pm. Knowing I'll definitely feel hungry later on, we went to the supermarket near Dar's house to buy a packet of my beloved Kai Lan and a small Lotus Root to keep me full later!!heh heh...Upon reaching home it was self-entertaining time! hahax...I watched my Hong Kong Drama while Dar watched his soccer. Then I had my Kai Lan and Lotus Root together with Dar's sis after she woke up from her nap. She took out the Raffles Hotel Champange Truffles snowskin mooncake after our vegetables feast too!! Two words - Uber NICE! It's my new favourite now...shall buy it next year!hahax...Then when Dar's mummy came home..she made each of us a glass of nice fresh sour orange juice!!Luuurrvvve it!! Then Dar finally tucked me into bed at around 230am. I had a very nice sleep!

Sunday was quite the same as usual...except that Dar and his sis went out to meet their ex-tutor while I stayed home alone to go through some of my work stuff. And after feeling tired from the work, I took a nap from 5pm to 7pm. Dar and his sis then bought back food to eat together at around 8pm...then after having more Champange Truffles mooncakes...it was time to go back to my home sweet home once again.

The weekend felt so short!!I could only wish the this next weekend will last longer~
