'Exciting' dinner..

*the okonomiyaki - uhm.. dun try - not nice de.. haha...*

Went to Pasta de Waraku some time when we were craving for Pasta. I chose a seafood pasta while dar took his usual bolognaise, and it was really nice.... till i found a clump of stuff on the bottom of a mussel.


OMG, i was totally horrified - cos the clump of black stringy stuff looks really gross with the pinkish creamy sauce.

The manager was horrified too, when i showed him the plate - and took the whole plate immediately to check it out. Well, it seems that it is seaweed, just that the chef did not check that the stuff is on the back of the shell. Wah.. scared me half to death lo.. @_@

He apologised really profusely, and very sincerely. A little paiseh, to be honest, but i guess at the same time, i am gratified that he really cares.

i didn't want a new plate of pasta cos i was really full, and we later received icecream.. =)

Whee!! a simple softie, but i think it really shows their sincerity! =D

What's more, we got a discount when we were paying the bill; and even got vouchers for our next visit!

As Mark puts it: the service recovery is really excellent!!

...the ace in the hole..

Got some sweet little pressies from dar that day..
We had made a Polo-T each, with the same design.

Dar bought 4 pairs of earrings for me!!

I love this one the most!!! My Ace... wearing it makes me feel a little closer to him.. =>

Yes! It's Natural~!

Catching up with the important people in my life, stood by me when i was at my most 'leong' period in life, never minded a light bulb when we went out.. =) Presenting - my gan ge ge and future sis-in-law - =D

Went for a vegetarian meal the other day at this cafe near Aljunied MRT - Yes Natural.
I love my avocado oat milkshake! I love avocado milkshake, and this version with oat is just as nice! Started drinking it a year ago, and have never looked back. Benefits of avocado are aplenty! haha.. just try google-ing it, and there is even a site dedicated to it..

Lijun ordered the Fu Rong Tofu to share, but it was too nice, we ate it all!! haha, didn't have time to take photos of it..

This is an all vege sushi roll - very nice and crunchy, with a little peanut paste, giving it additional fragrance & sweetness.. MUST try!

For our mains, Kor ordered the pineapple rice, while Lijun ordered the hot and sour noodle soup. For me, always sinful, haha.. i ordered the cheese baked spaghetti - the spaghetti is not overcooked, tasty, and the vegs are well done. A very pleasant surprise... =D

Went for dinner with my darling, to try the Romanian cuisine. it's at the KPT kopitiam behind the Alexander AIA office. The pasta was recommended by one of his colleagues, and we also tried the romanian food which is operated by the same pple.
This is the 'homemade pork sausages' - very nice!

Interesting decor - this blue cardboard castle in front of the stalls..

Went again the other day, and i had the carbonara while dar tried this seafood spaghetti or something.. And Ta-Da~!!

we got a "fish"!! haha... Spied another customer who got the pasta wrapped up in the shape of a peacock! ^^

Shopping at Ikea

Went to Ikea the other day, originally intending to eat at the restaurant. But it was so packed that dar & i gave up..

Walked downstairs, and bumped into this group of people doing surveys for Ikea. Being the Mr Nice he is, Mark agreed to help, so i might as well too..

And here's the repayment for our time - A Hotdog set each! haha.. Well, at least that put me in the mood to shop a little further @ Ikea - and amazingly, i found this wall decoration in the color i want! Promply bought it!

hahaha... Next home improvement project soon! :D

Meetups!

Mua with SY - haiz... only picture we took tt nite and it is blurred.. T_T

Our pretty gal, Syvin with the sporty babe, Grace! haha.. wat a contrast..

My 'Three Musketeers' kaki! Yay!! i'm looking forward to Friday again!! hehe..

Had our semi annual meetup with my pri-sch mates! Those who came tt day... Huiyi, Xiuhui, Shuyin, Shimin, Meiyan & bf-Max @ Jack's Place.

Small group compared to previous years - but i'm glad we made it happen.. Thanks to everyone who replied me, and made organising this a little bit easier - and definitely - Thank you!! to those who could make it!

my apologies too, to those who couldn't make it because of the date.. =( Will try to make it on days that you can next time..

Hee.. thanks babe, for reminding me all this while! hehe... I've been terribly "procrastinative".. =P

The xing fu couple.. hehe... Kacy & Max..

last b'day post for the year! haha..

Haven't been able to get around to blogging about my birthday for the longest time.. Or rather, get around to blogging at all, period.

So so, the next b'day celeb was with Kor & Lijun.

We went for dinner @ The Green Room. It's a really cool place. It serves vegetarian food, and it is situated in the middle of Bishan Park 1, within the cluster of restaurants there. It's like a mini mini Villa Bali over there. The atmosphere is great - no words for it! haha... Lucky i got my darling with me, otherwise, it'll be rather a waste of the romantic atmosphere.. ^^

My pressies from Lijun... Haha, she reallly loves to doll me up! hehe...

Orly top & bottom coat

mascara

liquid eyeliner

lip gloss

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Oh! and i finally went for my b'day present treat from Yuan.. Hee..

can guess?

Yupz! it is Eyelash Extension!!

Been wanting to do this for some time, but it's really ex (to me la, ok..), about $50+.. The place we went said that if we go back and just wanna 'fill in' those that dropped, it's half price @ $25. Hmmm....

I guess i chose one which was too thick, it is nice - but way too obvious to look natural - i mean, my own eyelashes are one third the length, and definitely not that thick wor... haiz...

Anyway, i love the look - really Jap doll looking.. Wish i look like that all the time man.. haha.. But a pity it is troublesome, in that i can't rub my eyes. I always tot i dun really rub my eyes, it should be fine. BUT... it's a natural instinct when u're just waking up and still half asleep.. =P It's difficult when ur face is wet, and u wanna blink water out of your eyes... -_-" It's impossible, and i mean really impossible.. haha...

Took it all off after a week - really surrender..

Maybe i will do it again when my bestie gets married, but next time - i'm gonna do it at another place..

Still love this song.. <3 <3

Thank you everyone!

Hmm.. so on Saturday, i went to the KTV with the whole group of Mark's colleagues... ^^ Totally surprised by them with this yummy cheesecake.. Haa... no one owns up to being the 'mastermind' - so -thank you everyone!!!

Thank you to- Shanice & Thomas, Sherrane & EeNerng, Marcus, Wilson, Wanxia, Fengyin!! I really love the cake, and really really happy that I can celebrate my b'day with you all... =D

And, well.. a nice chill out session @ Wine Network... Good atmosphere always works.. haa... (well, except for the lizard that appeared in front of me and scared half to hell!) Buuut - nope, it's not a good idea to talking about g***t stories in the middle of the nite, with no walls around u - more importantly, when my other half is sitting opposite the table!! muahahaa....

A nice white, yummy pizza and fun people to laugh and bitch about things.. What better way to spend my b'day.. Hee...

sorry...

Sorry that i mia-ed for a whole week.. I have so much more to post about my birthday last week... But first - I WANT TO COMPLAIN AH!!!

The last week has been hectic. Hectic like crazy - all because one selfish, 'dunno-stupid-or-wat' gal whomi think doesn't use her brain, has zero commitment and did i mention selfish?!?

I am on course the past Monday to Wednesday. And she knows. She bloody well knows i am not going to be around on these 3 whole freaking days. Any decent human being with half a brain would know that if there is a time to gain any brownie points, this would be THE time... Simply just by being there, by picking up a little of the slack. And no - i am not asking her to take over my projects - cos she's supposedly treated as 'just an admin'.

She's an admin exec, with pay higher than normal just admin personnel.

She claims she's not taken as part of the team. But can such a person be part of any team?!

______

Monday: 6.45am - msg us all to say that she is on MC. (For the record, i hate people disturbing me before i have to wake up. My bloddy alarm was set at 6.50am. Is tat not early enough!!!!)

Tuesday: 7am+ - msg to say she is MC for 'these two days' - what 2 days, which 2 days??? mon & tue or tue & wed?!?!
Still have the cheek to msg me and ask me to 'do me a favor' and tell her if the boss is angry at her non-appearance. Herein lies my 'stupid-or-wat' part - Stupid ar!! Obviously you never turn up for work for 2 days with just a phone sms - who WON'T BE angry!!!
SHe is supposedly on MC because on Friday when going home from work, she had a 'small accident' and has swollen this and that and heaven knows wat la... - For heaven's sake, want to lie, please lie with some brains. Don't think the whole world is as stupid as you. If you really had an accident, will you wait until Tue, 2nd time you are applying for MC to say!?!?!
Still want to call me and ask how are things. WAHHHH... I was so mad - really felt like just shouting at her and tell her to wake up her stupid idea. But no - i simply have no time to deal with her nonsense. I have work to do, even if she thinks she doesn't think she has.

Wednesday: no appearance and no message - so apparently her 'these two days' meant tue & wed.... -_-"

Thur and Fri: she is on unpaid leave for her part time studies exams. Pre-booked leave.

-----------

Just like that, she disappeared for a whole week, and all admin and billing was untouched.

And you know what, the auditor is in-house this week. Thank you very much missy. You just "HELPED" us so much. Just by not being there. Just because you are so selfish to only think of yourself and want to MIA so that you can study 'in peace' at home for your exam.

Because of you, i go in to office at 8.30am to do work before my course start at 9.30am. Come back to my desk to rush some work during lunch. Continue to 7pm+ after my course ends at 5pm for the day... You are SUCH a great help, such a GREAT TEAMmate.

"No time to study"; "No time to do all this work"; "she think i superwoman ar"; "she do herself la!" - So much complains, but please take a good hard look at how much time you are spending at work.

1 month, 2 weekends out of 7 days a week. We work 24 days max a month.

When someone is not there half the time; comes in at 9am to MSN, starts work at 10am and goes home at 6pm sharp on the days that she is there - how can the work be done???

Oh, not forgetting her MSN windows are always active de lor.. always talking to somebody de lor... If not, Facebook-ing in the middle of the afternoon.......

DAMN fed up.

__________

Okay, seriously, anyone knows a good admin???
