Twenty Eight. -The Series of Happy Events. (Image Heavy)

24th June: Pignick @ Fort Canning

Wednesday saw us, the Exclusives, heading down to Fort Canning Park for our PICNIC!
Btw, it's my first-ever picnic experience! HAHAH
So anw, this was sorta impromptu
as it was planned by Ting only
few days before.
However, it turned out to be sucha SUCCESS
despite the spoiler weather.

Credits to Ting, for being so damn efficient, as always. :)
To the "food preparation committee", who headed to Silun's hse
at EIGHT AM!
To MARI, for the ever-popular FROZEN FRUITS,
To Sam, for the retardness. ;p OKIE KIDDING. To Sam, for super efficient photo uploading.
To birdie, for the frozen 3 bottles of 1.5litres drinks!
TO ALL EXCLUSIVES, for the fun factor!

Okay, so what happened was,
once we stepped out of DhobyGhaut MRT Station,
it started DRIZZLING.
FYI, we're like cursed all the time.
The rain seems to like us a lot,
& follows us for all outings.
hahah.
So, we stood at one area,
contemplating whether to just continue with our plan,
or to go to SMU to picnic instead,
& for 1 sec, we wanted to just picnic outside the MRT station area.
the things we'll do. ;D

So anw, we went SMU to check out every lil' corners,
& eventually....................
we headed to Fort Canning Park, as planned!


& so, we asked an Aussie Tourist to take this group shot for us.

The damn long escalator.

Crazy shot

Home-made Sushi

Ting & her sandwich

Exclusives can really eat!

Snatching for Frozen Grapes!
(i always freeze grapes at home too. DAMN SHIOK.
But, not for ppl with Sensitive teeth!)
Anyhow, food always taste nicer when everybody is snatching for it.

Frozen Watermelon proudly presented to you by MARI!
(i helped to finish almost half of this big bag.
damn bloated after which.)
& yes, MARI tried very hard to promote the "watermelon juice"
to us, the little lambs.

The Wolverine, Spore Version.

When the music was played for the loving couple in the same shelter as us.






It just so happened that there was so many pairs of shades!



Brownies in her mouth. MARI O' MARI!




AhToh was overpowered by all the shades!

Where we spent the few hours in.
Where we played Saboteur; Charades; Heart Attack Version _.

Ting has some hidden talent in photography. HAHAH




Happy US.
no doubt the rain destroyed our initial plans somehow, but with the right company around, who cares abt the weather?

P.S Lun was unable to join us, as she flew to KL for nball matches & trngs. Would have been even better if she could join! but it's okay, thr'll always be another time. :) & yes, we support her all the way, mentally!
Char didnt come....... cause... idk why! DATING, must be. ;D


25th June:

猪妈咪's birthday. Sis brought us to Crystal Jade for Steamboat buffet.
Ten thumbs up for this!
it's so much better than the usual steamboats (Bugis, Novena, etc.)
Why?
  1. The place is so damn clean.
  2. Air-conditioned.
  3. The stove used is those electrical ones, you know, the flat kinda, w/o usage of gas. Aye, i dont know the name for it. In short, no smelly smelly smoky smell.
  4. You tick on the list the dishes that you want, & they will be served. & you can reorder ANYTIME.
  5. The ingredients are all fresh: fresh chicken, FISH, LIVEPRAWNS(100g per pax), etc. Even the crabsticks, fishballs, cuttlefish balls, & all those arent frozen kinda. You know, usually when you go for steamboat, the meat & other ingredients are all frozen & comes in one BIG LUMP.
  6. The prawn dumplings ROCK.
  7. Free flow of Coke/Sprite/Orange Juice/Chinese Tea.
  8. The prawn dumplings are really nice. HAHAH
  9. Oh, there's porridge soup base.
  10. I really love the FISH & Prawn dumplings LA.

HAHAH. & yes,
as usual, I was the survival. *GRINS*
The first to start, the last to stop, the one who ate the most.
I even won my Bro-in-law this time!
OMG.

Anw, it's appx $22.50 per pax. ($18++)
Starts after 530pm (think only on weekdays)
Had mine at the CausewayPoint outlet.
GOGO give it a try! Bring your family there to checkitout!

Alrighty, some picture:


she asked, "why only 1 candle?"

cute Mummee.

Together with Sis & Bro-in-Law. Dad had to work. Else could have had a nice family photo. ha :(



:)



this was just the first serving. we were initially shocked by the amt.
& they kept saying, sure cnt finish one.
while they were busy saying that, I already started the cooking.
& then I said, "with me ard, no needa scared."
true enough, & i ordered more dishes after which. ;D

Yesyes, I cant live w/o chilli padi!


The live prawns, which Mummee, Sis, Kat(Ex-neighbour)
were real entertained by them.
Cause apparently, the poor prawns were still struggling.
& then Kat had fun playing with the prawns,
giving them some slow torture by dipping the sticks into the soup,
& then taking it out,
& dipped in again. ;s
okay, sounds damn saddist.
i wasnt at all involved in this okay,
all i did was to eat the cooked prawns.
no sins right? HAHAH
ahya heck, you do eat them afterall too, isnt it?

Ohyes, the mango cake as seen in the pics,
were from CrystalJade too.
& GAWD THEY TASTE WONDERHUL.
damn nice!
not too sweet,
& you know I dont usually like the cream part,
but for this,
I ate many slices
& finished everything including the cream!

In conclusion, (Y)(Y)(Y)(Y)(Y)!
(* (Y) = the thumb up emoticon in MSN.)



June 25, 2009

Twenty Six.

Today is.........
猪 Mummee's 50th Bday!!
i just finished baking muffins & brownies!

Muffins, was a "cheated" one this time round.
cause i bought the pre-mixed kinda.

*eh, the tops looked white, but they were actually slight brown. ;D

as for brownies, it was my first attempt!!
& i wna say.....
it was a success!!
i like the chewyness, JUST NICE! ;D

Referred to the recipe from HHB,
one of my fav sites.
But did some modifications,
& didnt follow the steps at all ;x

My habit is that,
i'll always reduce the amt of oil & sugar from any recipes i use,
cause i dont wna Mummee to eat too oily/sweet
stuff. & we both dislike them to be too sweet. ;D

So after reducing the amt of oil (120ml to 80ml)
& sugar by quite a lot,
200g of light brown sugar to appx 140g,
i still find it way too sweet!!
must be the choco.
i couldnt find any other baking choco,
cause i went to the supermarket
at like 9.58pm when it closes at 10pm.

HAHAH. so i guess the choco i bought aint even semi-sweet.
most likely it's (very)sweetened..........
nevertheless, i really like the texture. ;D
*savouring now!


*with flash

*w/o flash


hope Mummee will like them too! :)
but then....... am gna restrict the no of brownies
she eats, cause they're really too sweet.

hahahah fyi, i always nag at her when she consumes too much
unhealthy stuff.
cause it's really impt for her at this age,
to watch her diet,
esp with health issues.
i love her too much to the fact that
im usually behaving/controlling her more like
im her mum instead ;p

& the gd thing is,
she doesnt gets irritated or whatsoever with me,
cause she knows i want the best for her. :)
but she does pouts at times (yes!)
& always goes,
"久久一次没有关系的啦."
or "吃一点而已!”
then I will always say,
"你每次都说 '久久一次', 可是你的'久', 根本一点都不'久'!!"

♥,



Anw, went Fort Canning Park for Pignick Picnic with Exclusives tdy!
Despite the spoiler rain,
we still had lotsa fun!
will update abt it soon, with photos! :)

Going for Crystal Jade Steamboat Buffet,
later in the evening! (Sis's treat. HAHAH)
Didnt know that C.J has steamboat buffet............

Am i the only sua ku/noob one,
or are you just the same as me? ;D

Twenty Seven. -Singtel BroadBand on Mobile Youth Plan!!

Ever wanted to have internet connection EVERYWHERE you go?! Esp the Twitter Addicts? Or the ones very dependent on search engines like Google?! There you go!

This blog entry will be solely about the locations that I feel, should & MUST have the internet connection! & which plan can make your wish come true at a very affordable price?!

Needless to say,
it has to be Singtel BroadBand on Mobile Youth Plan!

So here it goes.........

Location 1: Robinsons/Metro/BHG in shopping centres



For Part-Timers/Reliefs like ME, who gets so BORED @ work, basically stoning for 8hrs....... Especially so if the place is like a GHOST TOWN with lil' customers! You'll desperately need the source of entertainment!

P.S No Handphones are allowed, but all you need is some "SKILL" to use it 'discreetly'. ;D

Location 2: Toilet!

"Why on Earth would anyone bring their Handphones to the TOILET?!"
Sry, but I do! (& some of my frns tooooooo!)

You know, like if I'm facing some difficulties with my Big Business, aka Constipation, I can prolly make use of the internet connection to search for jokes online to relax myself a lil'! Okay, that was sucha joke. But yea, I just love the idea of surfing the net while sitting on the toilet bowl!

Location 3: Bus Stops/Bus Interchange/In the Bus/MRT!



**This is an ultra IMPORTANT location(s)!!
You know, sometimes I hafta wait up to HALF AN HR for a bus...... To stop myself from cursing & nagging, the internet access shall come to the rescue! (blogspot to rant it out perhaps!)
& prolly for the poor guys, who are used to waiting damn long for their girlfriends (or vice versa?), a mobile internet access will be just what we ALL need!!

Location 4: Food Courts/Hawker Centres/Coffee Shops



If I'm at one, which is well-known for all sorts of yummylicious food, I'll definitely want to search online (e.g. ieatishootipost) for the exact stall & also the preview of the food to help me decide, when I'm so spoilt with choices!
Next, while I wait impatiently patiently for the food to arrive
( >20mins, usually?) I can simply use Facebook & MSN to kill the boredom + hunger! ( A Hungry man is an angry man!!)


Actually, I still have manymany more locations that I wish I can have access to the internet at.
Like....
KALLANG NETBALL CENTRE
. So that I can search online on how to do the RAIN DANCE, to chase away the RAIN whenever it approaches & interrupts our netball trainings/matches!

SWIMMING POOL/GYM. when I'm happily sun-tanning or gymming & I see any good-looking guy with a great physique....... I can happily mention it to my khakis & buddies, & feel excited like a 14yr old girl once more. HAHAH shit i just destroyed my usual image of The Cool One, who appears to be not so interested in guys. HAHHA

CINEMAS. So that I can search for movie timings at the other cinemas, if the one that I'm at does not have the suitable timings! SO TRUE RIGHT! this is like how damn impt location too man!

& the list goes on & on & on.............

Basically, you will really want access to the internet EVERYWHERE!

So, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? All you need is.........
