Last Post for 2012!

31 December 2012

Today is the last day of 2012 - hope everyone had a blast for the year 2012!

A baking Sunday over the last weekend with the family.  Lut invited the family over for a NYE's eve luncheon at his place.  He wipped up a rendang feast while SIL baked chocolate moist cake and I borrowed the oven to bake potatos (instant one lah, bought from Target supermarket!).  It took us more than 20mins, in fact 3 rounds of 20mins to bake the potatos cos either the temperature is not right or we have added too much water.  Outcome still taste abit 'hard' on the potato.  Neymind.  I still have another box to try!

Yeos' third wedding anniversary!  We had dinner at Saboten - free flow of cabbage, rice and miso soup before we pooped over to their room at Pan Pac to check on the best spot to capture the view of fireworks for tonight's celebrations.  Their room view only can see whole of Bras Basah.  Think tonight we need to early early camp outside for the bird's eye view!

It's their now, yearly tradition to celebrate their wedding anniversary cum NYE's celebrations by booking a room in the city and view fireworks over from the floating platform.  And of course, it's our yearly tradition to gate-crash them.  LOL!

Before gate-crashing of Yeos' tonight, we are meeting the HXDA for our post-Christmas gift exchange!  This year party will be held at The Peak - thanks in advance to the Quahs for hosting the HXDA yearly event.  Imma can't wait to see who will 破戒 and buy the items from the forbidden list and get punished!  *evilgrin*

Weekend before Christmas!

24 December 2012

Christmas gift-exchange part 1 with the Yeo's before out next session with the Hwangs' tonight!

Friday, we went for a late-night ice cream boops and I must say their selection is quite limited and too "milky" taste which is not to our liking.  Headed over to the nearby hawaker for mee-hoon goreng!  Yum.

Fulfilled Yeo's wishlist of buying a coffee maker since the misses do not approve of buying for their home (and anyway they did not have an official house-warming, so we got this for their Christmas!).  So thoughful right?  We're sure that this will be their best Christmas gift for this year.  In the pictures, ah Thiang was like the salesman giving a product presentation to sell the capsule and the machine!  So punny.

A Christmas catch-up with Jade on Saturday.  Jessie has her usual lancing session, so we asked Yeo to join along.  Decided to try out the new coffee place located at the new wing of Plaza Singapura - Hoshino Coffee, a Japanese concept hand-drip coffee place.  Food was meh but the service staff (looked in her teens, a young student on her vacation-job) was pretty attentive thou' and helped us took photo!  It was then exploration of the new-face-lifted shopping mall along NEL...

Always.

Happy Birthday Popa!

23 December 2012

Popa's birthday celebration and mini-Christmas gift exchange with the family!

This year with execption, we celebrated Popa's birthday in advance (normally we celebrate birthdays on the actual day).  Because the Tans are celebrating the extended family's 喜事, Grace's wedding on 27th!  Whoopwhoopwhoop.

Our celebration was a simple yet tasty fare, pots of herbal goodness with the family!  Since I won't be home to celebrate this Christmas, we had this mini-gift exchange over the dinner.  So happy.

愿祝贺啊爸，福禄东海寿比南山！ Huart ah!

Christmas Pressie for Moi!

18 December 2012

Christmas is exactly a week away!  Days by days, months by months and years by years passed... 2012 is coming to an end.  Well, some said the World will come to an end on 21st December... if this is true, there goes my fat pay-check (AWS month okay...) for December and 那这个月我就不是白干了吗？！ :(

Something I look forward in the next weeks... to show off my new Kate Spade bag!  YAY!!!  I've been wanting to get this model - cobble hill small leslie.  就是对它念念不忘。 So this, I buy myself as Christmas pressie!  :P

During our honeymoon vacation, we went to all the premium outlets to look for this design but no sign of it in any outlets we visited (plus no time go retail outlets...) so I bought other bags instead (total 4 - Michael Kors, 2x KS and Coach).

After my vacation, I bugged Oba to SP for me... and she did!  So nice right.  She said her friend cannot SP two bags so she sacrificed her model for mine leh.  *TOUCHING*  很多人情债啊！ She even gotten the bag to be nicely wrapped and I am so 不舍得 to open up and check for defects.  Bad move right - she purposely one!  LOL.  I do so kena for very long (much contemplation in Japanese...), I 不管三七二十一 and opened up the box to do the check the very last min before my bed time.  Now it's neatly packed into the box waiting for 开幕典礼！哈哈哈哈！

Similar to MK design which is more structured, boxy and gang-ho look, KS design comes with a softer leather feel and more lembek look and of course accessibility is better compared to MK.  Both are my current favorite bags NOW.

Next time for sure I will make space to make a handbag closet in the room (like Jessie) to showcase and display all my bags!  I think I am more a shoes cabinet and handbags closet person rather than a walk-in wardrobe.  So.  Don't judge me.  HAHA!

Nookmag 3rd Anniversary Party & Weekend BBQ!

16 December 2012

It was the Nookmag 3rd anniversary last Friday and of course, we were invited to the street party held at Haji Lane!  Weather was kind to us and we had free flow of burgers, drinks and beer and pop the cake (instead of the normal cake-cutting session)!

Then was <The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey> movie date with the Yeo's and I named it ,,An Unexpected Journey with the Orbits".  I was extremely super turbo uber tired and I actually dozed off 2/3 of the movie!  Woke up at the scene when the Hobbit, Bilbo escaped from Gollum (eh, I actually know their names OK...) after stolen the ring onwards... story too dry or what?  But ah Thiang and all say it was not too bad leh... mm, ok lah my bad, maybe I will find one day to re-vist the movie before part 2 and 3 is out.  Felt so guilty having to waste S$7.50 to sleep in the cinema.  >_<"

Weekend BBQ with the Sapurians!  It's another get-together-session, ghost story-telling session plus mosquito-feeding session too!  Haha, that's Benny, ah Thiang, Mike and Edna photo-bombing.  LOL!!!

Now... must chop chop get back to the table and finish painting the second Xmas presents for Yeo's!  ah Thiang target to finish the last color by tonight!  Compared to when we first started, 路来路好看了... 我们很有心 hor！Dateline is drawing near...  赶工去咯！ Can't wait to surprise them with the two pressiessssss!  :))

Christmas Shopping with the Folks!

08 December 2012

Kick-start our weekend with the folks at Pepes Indonesian Restaurant before we start our Taka additonal 10% Christmas shopping!  Fwah.  We all 如来如早 start our dinner lo... normally we had dinner almost, after 8pm... but by 7.20pm we were already halfway through our dinner - so that we can chop chop go shopping!  HAHA.

Food was OK (but we liked Sanur better although they served the similar kind of dishes)... service was MEH and rude.  How this goes was when we place our order, we enquire about the free flow of rice but that is only applicable to order of white rice (S$1.80) but since we all ordered yellow rice (S$2/serving) we also can get free flow of white rice.  So.  We did ordered two serving of white rice and this was charged to our final bill.  I asked why are we charged for the refill and it was the waitress mistake by telling us the wrong information.  Guessed what... she asked if it is OK for me to sign off the bill.  !^$%#@*^&%  WTF!  I asked her nicely if she would asked a customer to pay for her mistake and she said no.  Then?!?!  Go revise my bill lah.  She quickly apologized and went back to cashier.  Naymind.  I am not so angry but what pissed me off was that the cashier (whom she looked upon as supervisor... I still remember her name ok, cos her staff bao to to me one!) came and told us that in the menu clearly stated that only order of white rice then we have refill so remind us next time we will make the same mistake.  I told her that it was her staff's mistake who told us differently from what is stated in the menu hence it is not our fault!  Then she just walked off and have no guts to present us the revised bill and gotten her staff to do it instead.

讲了还没那么气， 越想越生气！So so so so pissed.  Damn.  Grrrr.

Anyways, 我大人有大量... this didn't spoilt our mood for Christmas shopping...  So happy we that we managed to get the Yeos' pressies (imma sure this year is a BIG fat pressies we are getting them and imma sure he will like it alot!!!) and the upcoming HXDA gift-xchange!  Can't wait for the Xmas to faster come.  Ho ho ho!
