I accidentally stained my dress(above white) before I went out of the house, and I had to change into the second dress. Now you know why the look's the same, thanks to the clumsy me. :)

What I Have Been Up To...

I realised that I am becoming rather lazy in updating my blog. I don't want to let it rot away though. So, I will still try to post as often as I can. :)

Last sunday, our family spent quality time together before we send this boy off to Army, to serve his national service and transform into a man! So far, he's doing well in his 2 weeks' confinement, been calling home every night to report that he's fine and alright (much to the delight of my mum). He's going to be back on the 19th, can't wait to see his botak head! ;P

I have been spending more time doodling and sketching these days, doing so makes me feel happy and inspired. Just to share a few, I came up with a version of :

Humpty Dumpty

and a hungry baby robot.

Then, we planned a surprise birthday party for my cousin, Winston, who's turning 21, at my eldest cousin's place. We spent time playing Xbox and enjoying each other's company. I think he was rather touched when we presented his gift (GUESS watch) and the cake. Sayang said Winston's eyes were watery.  I'm so happy that we managed to make his day! :)

The sad thing was, my camera's battery went flat before the actual celebration, so I wasn't able to capture the moments. 

my cute baby niece. :)

my grandma warming up to get ready for her bowling game. Isn't she lovely? 

I think she's getting more fashionable with her clothes these days. ;P

On top of all these, I spent time at Sayang's house last evening and took shots of his Doramon collection. He's a boy in a big man's body. Haha! 

I am wondering how his collections of Doramon and my collections of Winnie the Pooh can fit into our house in future. Guess we just have to find space. Giving away any of it is definitely not an option. I'm insistent like that. :P

Finally, my weekend ended with me satisfying my craving for the oh-so-yummy Chocolate Melts from McDonalds. You have to try it if you haven't! It's heavenly! :)

oozing chocolatey love. 

I Spent My Weekend...

1) savouring yummy chinese food at Paradise Dynasty with Sayang. :)

Sayang trying to shield himself from my camera. Can you spot his eye?  

Paradise Dynasty's signature dish: 8-coloured Xiao Long Bao. It's really delicious! I love the cheese-flavoured xiao long bao (yellow)! A must try! :) 

 Sayang's choice: Pan-fried Chicken Chop with Noodles

 My choice: Minced Pork Noodles (i don't remember the exact name)

2) Purchasing this wonderful book at Kinokuniya!

I was absolutely delighted when I came to know about this book! It's filled with activities that draw out the creative side of you, with regards to fashion. I am going to have fun with it after I'm done with my modules! 

Funny aside: Sayang hates going into bookstores with me, because I spend a really LONG time inside. That particular day, when we stepped into Kinokuniya, he excused himself and I thought oh, he's going to the food section to browse through the yummy food in recipe books. Shortly after, he returned with my book! Turns out that he actually zoomed into the arts & design section to look for my book, so that we can get out of the bookstore as soon as possible. So hilarious and cute at the same time! I ended up staying for more than an hour browsing through other books though, poor him. :)

3) Playing around with this journal

Oh! I saw this lady with really nice crochet knee-high boots, in another bookstore (again, I know! I just love them!) I wanted to ask if I can take a photo of her, but I just didn't have the guts to do so. Bummer! 

Celebrating Mummy's Birthday!

Over the weekend, we celebrated the beautiful aging of my Mummy with dinner at a Nonya restaurant and an impromptu trip to Haegen Daz for dessert! :)

Baba Inn's the name of the restaurant. The food was only at best, average, and rather disappointing. The plus point was that the waiter provided really good service, earning a tip of ten bucks from my mum. I don't think we're going to patronise them anymore in future though.

the happy Birthday Lady :)

I love how my dad is happily clapping for my mum in this photo, so sweet~

cutting the cake. Yum yum! 

Dessert @ Haegen Daz

my parent's choice of ice-cream.

our choice of dessert: Chocolate Fondue to be shared by 5 of us. :)

I really appreciate spending time with the family, bonding while laughing and talking about everything and anything under the sun. I feel so blessed to have such a close-knitted family. Truly blessed. :)

Exploring Bedok Point & Sakae Sushi!

So this week, I was able to drag Sayang along to explore the newly opened Bedok Point. Sad to say, it was not a satisfying experience, except for our Kbox Session. The mini mall consists of more restaurants than any other shops.

We had lunch at Sushi Tei, and to my dismay, the salmon was not fresh. That was the first bad meal. Then later, we had dinner at Chicken Hotpot. We ordered a small chicken pot, and when we dug in, we realised that there were more chicken bones than chicken meat. The food tasted just alright as well. Needless to say, there's not going to be a second time dining in at the restaurant. Thank God the day ended well with yummy bubble tea from Essential, at Bedok Central. :)

Outfit for the Day:

(top - Giordano, grey skinny jeans - Peninsula Plaza, belt - Bugis Street, flower-shaped earring - Thai bazaar)

Then today, we had sushi buffet for dinner at Sakae Sushi! I'm a huge fan of Japanese food, especially sushi. :) Sayang had some serious craving for mochi today. Initially, he gotten 4 pieces off the conveyor belt and decided that he really liked them. We ordered another 4 pieces, only to discover that they were not included in the buffet, after waiting for more than half an hour. Poor Sayang, he was so disappointed. He was really lucky though, to have gotten the first 4 pieces for free. The complimentary ice-cream for the buffet was enough to satisfy him in the end. :)

Outfit for the Day:

(cardigan - Taiwan, tube dress with cherry prints - Bugis Street, two-way belt - gifted from China, feathered earring - Bugis Street, dangling star earring - gifted)

Gashapon Carnival!

Thanks to my brother, I was able to attend the 'Gashapon Capsule Carnival' that was held here in Singapore! I've never heard of such a thing before, but boy, was I glad to be there, because it was so fun! :)

 First prize that Sayang ever won for me! (It was chosen at random..but I'm still gonna treasure it!)

Shizuka hand towels! It was just my luck to have turned out the exact same towel for my second round. 

(I already have an idea to sew these together, into a small bag/pouch.) 

Outfit for the Day: 

(cardigan - Mum's, pink striped camisole - Giordano, skirt - Queensway Shopping Centre, two-way belt - gifted from China, rings - fleamarket)

Thai Express!

As I was craving for Thai Express, Sayang brought me to Illuma Bugis to have dinner. As usual, the food was delicious and the service, excellent!

I'm really impressed by the service crew over at Illuma Bugis' Thai Express outlet. They were attentive to our needs and took the initiative in making sure that our glasses were constantly being refilled. Most importantly, they took notice of the fact that Sayang was 'raining' during his course of meal and provided tissue paper readily. *Sayang perspires easily, especially while eating.*

THUMBS UP for the service crew, for making us feel so at home! :)
