    Very nice + fruitful weekend spent!!Woohoo~

    (Babes at The Wine Company @ Dempsey)

    Last week was just full force working week for me, and this coming week's gonna be a even more tough one! But I'm glad I spent my weekend pampering myself! Heex...

    On Friday night, Bella went to find Dar right after work. Wasn't feeling very well cos my sensitive nose was intruded by the dust in the client's storeroom. No exaggerations, but my nose was really giving me a horrible time at work for the whole entire day! Still, I'm glad, in fact very very glad I got to meet up with my one of closest dance sister back in my junior college days! We haven't met for eons...in fact it might well be 5 years since we last met up! I'm so glad we are back in contact!!Yippie! Had a great talk with her, great catch up even though we haven't met for so long. Feels so good!

    Then back to my after work updates, as mentioned I went to find Dar at his house. Dar set up the dinner ready for me at around 630pm. Yep sounds early cos' we both plan to have a night running session later at night. After dinner, we rested well and by then my flu was slowly going away. Then after my TV session at 10pm, we got changed and went for our first night run together!! Thanks to Dar's encouragement that I finally took my first step of jogging in like 6 months?!?!?! hahax...lovin' the sweat out! So we agreed to have our night run every Friday night whenever possible! =p



    (The dinner Dar laid out!!heex...)



    (My beloved rice recipe!!hahax...)

    (We're ready for the night jog!!)

    Then Saturday came! Full day plan was ongoing! Cos' afternoon from 2pm to 5pm was scheduled for wine tasting session at Dempsey with Junney, Zanne (my current senior on job) and her friends! No discomfort though out of the six of us, me and Junney didn't know 3 of Zanne's friends cos they're all really friendly and funny! Love the company! And though we were rather late, the whole wine tasting session was good. Not so much that the wine itself was terrific, but at least worth the money and with the nice company of the babes, I conclude a good Saturday afternoon spent! heh heh...

    (12 for 12 Tasting!)



    (Let the tasting start!)



    (Moi with some whites!Oooohh...)

    (Junney babe and me!!)



    (Ooohhh all mine!!hahax!)



    (Care to have some reds with me??=p)

    (In the glass!hahax...)



    (Cheerrrs..)

    Then right after our tasting session, Junney and me took a cab and headed down to Vivocity for the annual A10+A11 gathering session at Marche. Had some nice food and nice chatting time with my fellow A11 colleagues as well as the rather new A10s who just joined Deloitte at the later part of this year. It was around 9pm when we left the place...and right after that I went to find Dar!

    (Some random food we shared! Heex..)



    (Me and Mr. Shrek!)



    (Left: Yujia, Dickson, Beh and me!)
    (Right: Beh and me...)

    (Dickson, me and Winnie!)

    (Full force assistants!)

    And as my dinner at Marche was actually quite little due to some earlier food during the wine tasting, Dar prepared the uber nice noodles for me! Heh heh...I luurrrvvve eating the food Dar cooks for me! keke...=p...and probably it's due to the long day I had, and plus the 12 glasses of wine down into my tummy, Bella was feeling tired by 1230am. So I went to bed rather early. But cos' I fell asleep on Dar's bed, when he was ready to sleep, he helped to lay my bed for me. Felt so sweet when Dar kind of ask me to sleep on the comfy bed he laid for me and gave me 3 little kiss (on forehead, nose and lips =p) before I fell deep asleep once again.



    (Yummy noodles by Dar!!heex...)

    Then my whole Sunday was just simply spent at Dar's house chilling~ Oh and did I mention that Dar's mummy bought me a new orange juice machine!! Yippy I can have orange juice as and when I want at ease now!!Woohoo~~heex!Alrighty...tat's for all on my past weekend! *To the rest of this week of challenge at work...Good luck!!* (^.^)

    Wednesday lunch^^

    Last Wednesday met up with Miss Xianie and Junney for lunch at TCC at the Raffles Exchange! Been quite some time since I last met up with Huixian, kinda miss her so jio her out for lunch...hehe!

    We waited uber long for the food though, but meanwhile had a great chat! Xianie was sweet enough to buy 2 Choco Locos from JCOs for me and Junney though ended up I took back both cos it was 2 doughnuts in a box and Junney was at some "open" space working so not too convenient to tag a bag into the office space at the client's. And I guess lunch time is never long enough when a few girls are gathered together...hahax! Endless conversations! =p Here are some pics we took...



    (Here's my lunch - Seafood Aglio Olio...erm but seriously it's nothing compared to my Dar's Garlic Prawn pasta =p)



    (Junney, me and Xianie!!)

    Anyways, lunch ended at around 2pm and we all went back to work. Looking forward to more meetups with Miss Xianie since it's much easier for me to meet Junney up! keke...anyways Bella had a great weekend spent! Stay tuned for my next post!!Woohoo~~

    Wednesday night dinner resumed!



    (Dar and me while waiting for his mummy and sister!!=p)

    After last week's skip from the usual Wednesday night dinner session with dar's Mummy and Sister due to our 33rd mOnth anniversary...this week's Wednesday night dinner has resumed!!hahax...

    Today is suppose to mark my first day in Hua Nan Commercial Bank audit, but due to some administrative matters, we will only go in to client's place tomorrow and stay in office today instead. So today, despite of my worries of not being able to knock off early and join Dar's and his mummy and sister for dinner, I made it there!!hahax...

    After I knocked off at 530pm, though it was drizzling out there, I made my way to the MRT station to take a train down to Bugis to meet Dar cos he wants to see if there's the Knorr Pesto at the Cold Storage branch at Bugis. But ended up unfortunately it wasn't available there. So we then proceeded to City Hall cos we might be meeting Dar's mummy and sister for dinner either at Suntec or Marina Square.

    And in an attempt to pamper myself before the great storm that will be coming from tomorrow onwards all the way until the end of the month, Bella bought herself a pair of purple heels at VNC!!Whee~~And cos my pointed heels are killing me after a super long day of walking around, Dar suggested I change in to my new pairs of round heels! Much more comfy!!hahax...hApPy!!



    (Moi new purple rounded heels!!the ribbon behind nice? hahax...=p)

    Then after walking around at Marina Square for some time, we sat down and waited for Dar's Mummy and Sister to reach. Initially the suggestion was to eat at "Pu Tien" i.e. the Xing Hua restaurant we often eat in, but after some discussion after Dar's mummy and sister finally reach, we decided to go Lerk Thai instead! And as usual, we ordered a lot of food! Heex...



    (The nice decorations beside me in Lerk Thai...^^)



    (Left: Tom Yam soup in claypot)
    (Right: Green curry chicken...)



    (Don't know what cakes they are...should be some fish or something...but doesn't matter cos' they're delicious!hahax...)



    (Left: Pandan leaf wrapped chicken!)
    (Right: Fried chilli Kang Kong)

    Then after dinner, we went to walk around to some shoe shops cos Dar's sister wanted to look her flats at Pazzion but too bad still no size. After which, Dar's sister suggested to have some Swensen's ice cream and we went!!Yeah~~hahax...and it's sooooo damn freaking cold in there, especially with the drizzle going on for a full day out there...and we're having ice cream!hahax..



    (Topless five ice cream - Sticky Choc, Macademia nut, Frosted Choc Malt, Blueberry and Mocha!!Shared by Dar, me and his Sis...cos Dar's mummy having something more delicious!hahax...Yoohoo~~)



    (Fries!!)

    By the time we finished our desserts at Swensens, it was already pass 10pm. So we straight away headed home! Back in the cab, Bella fell deeep asleep while sleeping on Dar's shoulder. What a nice short nap!!Heex...and now I'm determined to post this by tonight cos if not I'm seriously not sure what other time will I be able to do so! Sobx...and I'm telling the truth that next few days will be a big storm for me cos the work allocation came out today, and please pray hard for me I will be able to go through it well...*gua gua* So till my next update (let's hope it'll be soon so that it means I have time for breathing)...take care peeps! *Smaucks*
