July Updates!

30 July 2012

The lacking of updates on this little space are mainly due to my computer which was never recovered from the virus attack since two months back.  And since then my files and folders in my c:\drive are always gone and missing from desktop.  The month of July was terrible.  It was down like every other day.  IT guys in Germany were doing backup, scanning infected files from server, reinstalling my files and I am doing Windows installation every now and then (so pro already!)...  This is taking alot of my time in waiting and waiting... lotsa work to catch up too.  #paininmyass

So, this is completely fix last Friday (HOPEFULLY. FINALLY.) and here I'll give a short update on what's eating over the last weekend before Auggy (Month of August lah...) is here!

After Jess's much rave about cakes and desserts from The Wok & Barrel, we finally get to try them last Friday.  It was a hawaker fare with a mod of twist.  We were so looking forward to the desserts while the mains are being served.  +HEHE+  OK.  I am going to be a lazy bum-ing today.  I'll redirect reading of reviews to Giselle's Closet where Jess made the full review from her first visit to the restaurant.  Then I can has lesser texts to type...  :P

Happy hour promo; Pizza at $5.90 with every order of beer / atas Nasi Lemak / Tried the Chocolate Stout Cake w/Vanilla Ice-cream, Puloh Hitam Cake with Gula Melaka Butterscotch & homemade Coconut Ice-cream and their legendary Chendol "神抖"! / Impromtu waffles date on a lazy Saturday night! / Bananarama > I've got my waffles fix!  YAY!


Met up my folks for dinner last evening at the newly opened (a month ago!) Paradise-chains of restaurant at Compasspoint Mall > Canton Paradise!  Finally some nice and decent restaurants added to the F&B list in the mall!  (... wondering why Ajisen can survire there for so long!)  It was super long Q when we were there to take 'Q number' at 5.20pm!  They served canto-styled dishes like roast meats, dim sum, porridge, noodles, soups and desserts.  The meal was yummy... even the bowls of plain rice tasted so delicious!  I loved my dessert > some aloe vera thingy!  We saw alot of orders of BBQ honey pork bun and custard buns but we were too full to try them.  Moma bestest-ed.  She signed me up for their 'membership card' thingy after much sales-talk from the cashier (She paid lah... and I get it for FREE!) and we'll have discounts in our next visits for one year... we'll be back to try out more dishes/bites!  ++SLURPED with excitment!++


Fwoah.  It is kinda norm to have a kopi-session/dessert after a meal (be it with family or friends)... and the next thing we know, we had an hour long kopi-session at Ya Kun right after dinner!  The whole session was all about beanie bag chairs!

ah Thiang thought that this might interest my aunt to buy one for her new house.  We had a good 30mins or more researching and discussing on the type of beanie bag chairs available, price from different online stores and styles that we can turned the chair to!  My aunt is so interested that she already taken down the address of the showroom and so going down to try all the types of design before she decides if she will get one for her new house today!  Popa also a fan of beanie bag chairs (we used to have two back then when we're still staying in Bedok)... maybe I can get one for him too!  Now, ah Thiang has been trying his luck for the longest time to have one in the room too... well, let's see...  LOL!  #eyesbeamed
