    Our 34th mOnth anNiversaRy

    Last Friday (5th Dec) was Bella and Dar's 34th mOnth anniversary! Heex...I was lucky enough to be able to be on leave that day!!*hiaks hiaks* So we woke up rather early that day cos Dar wanted to go to Expo to collect his Standard Chartered Marathon pack whilst I was assigned to help his Sister take! Heex...Long journey to Expo and mid-way we stopped by Bedok to have our breakfast! Luckily the queue was seemingly shorter then that on Thursday from what Dar's friend told him so we managed to collect the package quite fast!

    After that, we took a train down to Marina Square. Our "Magadascar" movie was scheduled at 445pm so we decided to find a place and sit down and rest first...and guess where?? It's my most beloved Billy Bombers (only cos of the milk shake alrights =p) that Dar promised me!Woohoo~~~I haven't had the chocolate milk shake there for ages...and you won't be able to imagine how heavenly Bella felt when she finally took the first sip!!hahax!!!=p

    (Right: Bella sulking cos' her Chocolate Milk Shake not here yet!)

    (and Yippy~~my Chocolate Milk Shake finally arrived!!!)



    (Half fries and half onion rings + my beloved melted cheese!)



    (Bella's totally enjoying herself!(^.^))

    Anyways, so after that we went to Arcade for some games before we went to catch "Magadascar"!Not bad...rather entertaining but not as nice as the raves I heard.



    (Driving time~~)



    (Magadascar~)

    So well...after our dinner, it was kinda rush for us cos' we had to go over to Orchard, have dinner, before my Bro and his gf comes pick us up to go to a Australian wine tasting @ his friend's sister newly opened wine place. Not so much of a walk in but more of like wholesale and perhaps a only by invitation kind of place for friends. It was kinda out of place but the at least the place was simply and nicely designed.

    (We're chilling~)



    (Love the Chandelier!)



    (Some complements to the wine~)



    (Bro and his gf!)

    (Right: Me and breadstick!!)



    (Us!)

    We left the place at around 11pm if I remember correctly after we each downed 15 glasses of wine of mixture of whites, reds and some sweet wine. Hungry, Dar and me bought ourselves some dinner when we reached his house area. Went home, bathe and had our dinner before resting for awhile and go to sleep! And with sweet dreams the weekend awaits...stay tuned for the weekend updates!!(^^)

    Last Wednesday Bella woke up rather early to go for hair rebonding!!Yes...I finally rebonded my hair after waiting for the bleach portion to grow out so I can at least trim some of it away!!!And it was rebonding session for me from 10am all the way til 130pm!!Zzz...hungry and tired...I went to find Dar at his house and had my brunch too! Then at around 430pm, we left the house and went to town cos I wanted to go Far East Plaza do IPL! heex...after which we went to meet up Dar's mummy and sister! Had Ajisen that night (but oops no pics!hahax...) before going to do some shopping and then some photo taking out at the brightly lit-up Orchard!!The Christmas lightings for this year is really not bad...I luuurrve the big ribbons!Heex...

    Then on Thursday, other then sleeping in late and resting at home for most of the day, Bella went out for a steamboat dinner with Irene and Lifang. Too bad Xiaowan couldn't join us cos she had too much work to rush! *Sobx* Shall meet her up next Friday to go Dempsey!Heex...

    Hmm so anyways...Irene, Fang and me then went to try out a steamboat buffet situated near the SportsLink at Ang Mo Kio! Quite cheap compared to those in Bugis...and the food variety is still okie! Have free flow drinks and potong ice cream (though we didn't take the ice cream cos' too full at the end of the whole buffet session!=p)...ate a lot...chit chat a lot...bim-ed and bo-ed here and there a little...great dinner together!!After which we went to walk walk around before taking a cabbie home together!!




    (Cooked and uncooked food!)

    Suppose to meet the girls (including Xiaowan) up for dinner and chilling session @ Dempsey on this coming Friday...just seriously keeping my fingers crossed that somehow I can escape from the clutches of overtime and make my way there to meet them! Hahax...Oh and more updates on my weekend coming up!!*stay tuned!* (^^)

(^^)

    Then the most most wonderful day came!!Sunday!!Cos' it's Sitex day!!hahax...We woke up early that day...around 910am (alrights not really very early...but it's considered relatively early for our Sundays!). Then drove his Daddy's car...so after driving his Daddy to work...we went straight to Sitex! When we reached the place, the crowd was still acceptable probably cos' it was still early! The to-buy list that day are a camera for me, a lappie for Dar's sister as well as a LCD monitor to replace the old monitor at Dar's house. And I proudly present my new red Exilim EX-S10 that Dar bought for me!It's the smallest and thinniest 10MP camera and I really love the slim design!!Yeah!!!and the camera shall have a name - Exilim Babylicious!!heh heh...Dar's sister also bought her MSI white laptop! Then finally Dar bought the Samsung 19 inch LCD monitor too! hahax...Here's the great buys!

    After which we went out for our lunch at the nice fish ball noodles stall at Dar's house area. We order the nice nice oyster omelette too! Luuurrve eating the starch while Dar had the egg and oysters! Went to my home to change the bed sheet and do some cleaning before bathing and going to Dar's house. Did some research on my loan review stuff for my current job while Dar started installing the LCD monitor and formatting his Sister's new lappie! I grew so tired that I fell asleep before waking up at around 830pm to go have dinner with Dar's Daddy! And guess what we ate?? SEafood @ Changi Village!!! Oops...I wasn't suppose to have seafood for a week after my IPL...but the crabs made me give in to temptation!!hahax...



    (Left: My fav dish for the night...black pepper spring onion pork!)
    (Right: Dar's sambal kang kong...find it so so only cos think not enough sambal..)



    (the big and crispy don't know what fish...haha...but uber nice!!)



    (The big big Bamboo clams...I still prefer the small ones!)



    (The black pepper crab!...hmm but find it so so only...cos it's kinda cooked differently!)
