I finally got my blades after a year of wishing!! hehe... Here is my new baby.. The ADRENO BLACK SERIES!! It's a freestyle skate that normally would have cost over $300 bucks - but we got lucky and spotted it on sale! hehe..

Got it at Inline Culture - the Katong outlet. Oh, the service there is sincere, the sales people have knowledge of their products, they are willing to teach and the range is decent, quite sizeable..

So much so much better than the first place we went to at 3rd floor of Queensway - some kuching kurak shop called Skaters World. The stttooooopid sales fella there sucks big time. Jean asked them, what is suitable for a beginner - and he was like "this, this and this.." SILENCE. "and this, and this." FULL STOP. That's it leh - that's all he said. Wahhhhh.. so pissed. Walked out of the shop immediately!

Anyway, the important stuff now.... ^^

Many thanks to Jean, Yunhua, KaiQuan and Clement for contributing to my roller blades fund! (Yupz, i just made it before the 1 year expiry date!!)

And to Jean once more for the additional portion as this year's pressie! But more importantly, for your time and effort going with me all over the place to find and test blades!!

You're the best friend i could ever have!! HUGZ!!!!

YumMy~!!

Yummy yummy dinner again ytd night! Very happy too, to be out w ma pretty lady here.. hee.. Went to this place near Kembangan mrt - Hmmm.. at Jalan Masjid or something like that, can't quite remember. Anyway they are really famous for their mian xian aka mee sua aka 面线。

It's like a zhi char place, and Mark & I really like the steamed fish there. It's fresh, and fresh and fresh... haha. nothing else needs to be said.. But no photos of it, cos we were too engrossed in our meal by then, and only thought of eating it.. haha... Oh, and another interesting thing is that you have to go to the stall to order (just like a zhi char) and you see the the prices written on cards, placed on the fish. So you know how much you are paying for what fish. Very straightforward, very good.

Another dish that dar likes, the fried tofu with chicken floss.. very nice!!! We order this everytime we go.. haha..

Cam-whoring while the guys are gossiping away.. Oh yesh, guys do gossip! hehehe...

So, all credits for the photos go to Jaccy! Thanks for taking the photos babe!! =D Luv 'em!

Okie! time to post some more happy stuff... Hah..

So so, i read this book recently - It's called "Why Men Can Only Do One Thing at a Time, and Women Never Stop Talking" by Allan & Barbara Pease.

This excerpt is from one of the starting pages of the book, and it's so so true!!

Throughout the whole book, i was going like - "OMG!! that's so true!!" or "Yes yes! that's freakily same!" hahahaha.....

Like this one, it basically says:

Women can detect emotions through tone of voice, volume and pitch. We are able to detect emotional changes, and tend to react in arguments with men and boys with "Don't use that tone of voice with me!"

And apparently, the guys totally don't know what we mean!.. Because they can't.

This was one situation that had a huge potential to cause problems in future, cos Mark has this tendency to blurt out "What talking you!" in this seeeriously irritating tone when i'm asking/ telling/ explaining things and i am not clear/ confusing him.. Which i can understand, cos i'm not a person with the most organized of thoughts - sometimes i confuse meself~ haa.. But i just couldn't take that Tone he uses.. After both of us read this, i think we understand each other a little better... And more motivated to work together towards a better future.. =)

Hmm, back to the book - there are parts which are purely humor and funnies, but most are insightful.. Well, all in all, it's a good read, and it'll give you an interesting view into the opposite sex's workings... So so, it's worth the time... =D

Arghh!!! Angry.....

Waaa.. really need to complain about my boss sia..

Oh~ or rather, i should call her the "I am not your boss" boss...

She will say, "Dun call me boss, we are all colleagues..."

Colleagues My foot!! then wat is her 'associate operations director' title for! Really for fun lo...

Somemore that day, when i mentioned that it's just a habit of mine to call someone boss, she told me even if something happen, she will also protect herself first!!!!

I was like, WTH!!!! So bloody pissed off, really felt like socking her one!!! Grrr.......

Winding down...

Dinner w my ladies to bitch about work and wind down over dinner & tea... Tried this new tea @ TCC - some 'Oriental' or 'Dragon Mystique' (sssooomething like that la~ forgot liao) - name really caught my attention. But a bit disappointing cos though the fragrance is really nice, there is not much taste to the tea though i left it to steep for quite some time..

Well, the saving grace as always, is the service and atmosphere @ TCC.. hehe....

Dinner @ Sakuraya
Went for a drive with Mark one day after work, and walked randomly into this Japanese restaurant near the Pasir Panjang area. I know this chain has one outlet @ Parkway too, so it's good to check it out.

The sashimi is really interesting - you just walk to this big showcase/ fridge, and choose what you want and amount to pay is labelled clearly! Very interesting..

Luv the california maki here! They are very very generous with the roe. The ingredients are fresh, and each can be tasted clearly! very filling... =)

But my all time fav is the teriyaki grilled cod! Ahhhh... Grilled cod (Japanese style) is like my favourite now!! It's sweet, yet with the smoky taste of grill - and the cod is so so smooth that it seems to melt in the mouth....... Yumz.....

Definitely wanna go back there again!!

Went to Marche for a good relaxing dinner the other day with dar.. Love the atmosphere there!!! ^^

And speaking of Marche, how can we forget our favourite at Marche - the rosti with sausage! hehe.. Utterly sinful, but so yummy, especially w the sour cream... Ahhh...

And oh! this item which we finally tried- the Marche Crepes! One big crepe cooked to perfection, spread with marscapone cheese inside, topped with a huge scoop of sinfully rich ice cream & fresh strawberries that are sweet! Heavenly!!!!

My Buy @ JrunwayclosetJ!!

Okay~! I'm getting this!! hehe.. I luv it!! It's gonna take time to reach - but it's ok - i will wait.. hahahha...

Continue shopping @ JrunwayclosetJ!!

Clothes next!!

Retail Therapy~!! ^^

I wanna get this bag!! and it's only $17.50 SGD!!!

Ohhh!!! Found this new site: http://jrunwayclosetj.blogspot.com!!!

they do sprees from taiwan & US both.
- nothing special is it?

hahaha, but it is to me..

There is this PG mall thingy, a Taiwan site that sells bags - many people have sprees on it - but the problem is - you have to go to the PG mall site and fight thru all that mandarin/ chinese to figure out what exactly are they talking about.....

I mean, i can read mandarin and all - but i dun have the time!! most importantly, i dun have the inclination to figure it all out!

So why exactly is this site good?

The spree owner has listed some Hot Picks that he/she thinks is best, and even better - calculated already what is the exact charge gonna be! Now i don't need to headache over what the price is, the exchange rate etc! hahahaha....

SPREE ON @ JrunwayclosetJ~!!!

Random stuff @ Work!

Have a whole new can of oatmeal to myself @ the office - bought by the co. one oh!! hehe.. Cos seems like no one other than me eat.. hehehe.. Happy!!!


There's so much mooncakes that the vendors gave -




TungLok, Conrad Centennial, Peach Garden, Majestic Hotel, Fairmont, and this one that i don't remember the name..

Oh, and i finally tried the Tung Lok mooncakes - it's good! The lotus is really smooth... Guess i'll be getting that next year! ^^

Lunches

Porridge buffet @ Suntec with the ladies... Supposedly healthier - but..... with everyone taking dishes, we still ended up taking so much food! haha.. still eat too much la~! =D


There are definitely advantages to having 'vendors' - a yummy lunch @ the Shodoku restaurant at Raffles City. It's like Marche, but a Japanese version - with the rustic furnishings and many many stalls of Japanese cuisine. Quite like the atmosphere..



Food wise, i will reserve judgement - sashimi is all right only though the presentation is nice; pizza is nice - love the unagi; and the yakitori is good!!! hahaha....

Presents, presents!! ^^

Present from my dar!!!

Presenting to you - the Dr Oasis Hydrating Magic Water!!

Hahaha.. it's really good, comprising of both the moisturizing properties of water, and the sealant properties of oil-based products! And it's really fun to apply.. haha... Just started using it last night, and i seem to feel my skin is softer already! =D Very very happy!

Oh, and the packaging is so cute.. twist it to make the nozzle pop up! ^^

It's imported from Japan, and i've been checking out it's site - ryoumi.com to see the other stuff they have. So many many things!! And all looks so good! Got a sample of a White Treatment along with the Magic Water. Gonna check it out soon! ^^

so expensive!!

went to one expo recently, and saw this spa selling these collagen stuff... see the prices? the eye mask is $10 for 3 pcs... SO EXPENSIVE!!! My fren is selling the exact same stuff for $0.90 per packet!!!! OMG... Just go to this site to check it out... StickyChewyChoc...

Random stuff from work... =P

Sweets from my senior @ work - all the way from HK Disneyland wor.. haha.. Normally i dun really take sweets, but these were worth trying.. ^^ And they are so alike the cartoon! haha...
Once a month, i'll reward myself with an egg tart from the Tong Heng Bakery at Chinatown.. It's really near Maxwell too.. haha... So if anyone wants to know where it is, then ask me la.. =)
Smooooth glossy surface, crispy sweet crust!!! Yumz!!!!
