Marina Barrage is one of the best places to laze around and have a picnic with your loved ones. I went there during one of the weekends and had absolute fun! Look at all the colorful kites in the sky. Magnificent! :cloud9:


Meet my new dog, Honda! Kidding, he’s not mine. :laugh: Lovely name he has eh? :wink1: He kept looking for places to pee around when I was already struggling to walk him! :alamak:


Such a beauty. :lovebear1:


We brought some bread, pastries, cheese hot dogs and strawberries dipped with chocolate. Really yummy picnic we have there haha! :drool2:


I made a party hat for Honda but he refused to wear it on his head! Look what we did to him instead lol! :smileyhappy3:


Almost died looking at this photo. So cute! :doraemon5:


Big baby and small baby lol. :laugh:


Me, boss and Honda! :love4:

Boss was busy flying his kite, not too bad for an amateur! That’s my boss! :dance1:


We caught the lovely sunset too! :weather14:

All thanks to Eevon, I got to know about Restaurant Week which was held from 22 Mar – 28 Mar 2010. I selected iL Lido and I am glad that I made the right choice! :cloud9:


I requested for a table facing the sea and the staff readily gave me one. Look at the breathtaking view! :weather5:


The golf course was right behind me and I almost had the urge to run down to the course to play golf! Hahaha! :laugh:


Silly boss looking famished. :tongue2:


Nom nom nom! Spot the heart-shaped bread! :heart5:


Scallops with Chanterelle Mushrooms. The scallops are extremely big, fat and juicy! Me loves! :drool2:


Porcini Mushroom and Truffle Cream Soup. Tasted very creamy and delicious! :thumbsup:


Me, happy with my soup hee hee. :kitty8:


Angel Hair Pasta with Spicy Baby Prawns. Where are the prawns sia?! :confused2:


Atlantic Cod with Chanterelle Mushroom, my favorite fish! Extremely delish and succulent! :smileyhappy2:


Me and boss! :love4:


What we’ve been waiting for – Molten Lava Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream. There’s always room for desserts! :love1:


Look at the chocolate oozing out! YUMMEH! Oh my, this is so sinful! :drool1:

Boss and I decided to walk around Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) since we have already paid for the $7 entrance fee. :blank:


Here we are at the casino! Would you pay $100 to lose even more money? I won’t lor. :blah:


Here I am at RWS! Not so sua ku anymore. :laugh:


The pretty escalator that changes to different colors of lightings. :)


Boss trying to be funny. :rolleyes:


The elephant with the long legs looks pretty creepy huh? :confused:


The first Victoria’s Secret boutique in Asia! :marie5:


Tons of ladies flocking into the store. :shocked1:


The lingerie section! :tongue2:


Pretty luggage tags! Wanted to buy them but it’s not worth spending that kind of money. :confused:


Bracelet charms. :wink1:


Bath and body products. :flower9:


Sweet looking pink pouches! :heart18:


Spotted one of my favorite brands! But see no buy. :sad3:


The pathway which leads to Crockfords Tower which we can’t enter at all. No idea why they have to build this hotel simply to make everyone green with envy. TMD lor. :angry:

Since we are not VIPs, we proceeded to Hard Rock Hotel to tour around.


Love the guitars! :dance2:


The reception area is darn cool! :thumbsup:


More weird statues with no meaning at all. :confused2:


Look at THE GLOBE :happy2:


OH AM GEE! We are at Universal Studios Singapore (USS)! :dance1: I miss the one in Hollywood. :(:


Can’t go in now. :blah: But we will be conquering it SOON! :love3:


Look!!! :shocked1: It’s Hershey’s Chocolate YAHOOO! :cheer:


Everyone’s fascinated by the variety of chocolates. :weather14:


Woah! :shocked2:


Very adorable display. :minnie9:


I’ve got a Hershey’s on my head haha! :lovebear1:


Massive range of Hershey’s! I want them all! :drool1:


They even sell plushies in the store. :dance1:


I wanna bring it home. :(:


Spotted these adorable earphones! ;)


Huge Hershey’s bottle. It’s a piggy bank by the way. :)


Giant popcorn! Nom nom nom. :eat:


Woah the moment I stepped into the store, the smell of the caramel and cheese popcorn rushed into my nose. :drool2:

Feel like going RWS again, especially USS. But the parking charges are crazy. We paid $16 in total for a 2 hour trip there. Extreme daylight robbery. :angry:

This is a long overdue post. I found out that Kbox @ Jurong Safra has the same concept at a fraction of the price. The only difference is that they don’t provide free internet service, bedroom slippers and comforter. Also, their beverage selection is far better than K Suites.

Those who read my blog frequently should know that I hate Kbox due to the terrible service I’ve experienced before. However, K Suites is a total new concept and I was quite eager to try it out.


K Suites is tucked away in a corner at Level 3 of Illuma. The charges are at $12/hour/pax with a minimum spending of $10/pax for beverages. Not very affordable, but the service is worth commending though. Even much better than Kbox. Is that why they are charging at a higher rate? :rolleyes:


Upon entering the karaoke lounge, you’ll spot the bar counter…


And a nice, cosy area for you to chill out. :wink1:


Here’s our room. I didn’t manage to get the one with a huge bed cos I heard that it was at the rate of $38/hour/pax. Holy crap! I can use that money to have a nice high-tea session. :blah:


Song selections are done on this touch screen device. :thumbsup: Very cool, but not many artistes are available. Probably still very new though.


And a smaller one right beside the door. Convenient for those who are sitting far away from the larger one.


Light snacks and towels for our usage.


There are two TV screens provided in each room. Soccer fans get to watch their favorite football channels from the screen on the top. But I don’t like it lah! :disgust: I went with boss and his friends to Jurong Safra’s Kbox and they were shouting at the top of their voices all the time. I can’t even sing in peace lor! :angry:


We were provided with free internet access too! Not too bad, but I wonder if it’s safe to key in our personal details? :rolleyes:


Drinks that cost us $10 each. No bubble teas, no smoothies, just these. :alamak: Alamak! I would rather go to Starbucks to have a nice cuppa. :damnit:


Food menu. Look at the pricing. :(:


In the end, I got this $12 worth of chicken wings, but utterly disappointed. It was not cooked properly can?! :confused:


Slippers for us! Machiam like 5 stars hotel hoho! :love3:


Plus a nice and comfy comforter. :smileyhappy2:


To have fun at karaoke lounges, you need a good companion. Here’s mine! :love4:


Would I go back to K Suites? I doubt so. But if only they lower their prices, I might! :tongue2:

Over the weekend, we went Hot.. I mean Hort Park for a stroll. Hort Park, a shortened term for Horticulture Park is a one-stop gardening hub that focuses on gardening-related, recreational, educational, research and retail activities under one big canopy in a park setting. A walk through shows you an array of gardening landscapes :love3:



I tried to hide from the sun, but failed. It’s way too HOT! :mad:


I told boss to walk gracefully, but he ended up looking like this :blah:


Plants being trapped :tongue1:


I found Mr Potter! :laugh:


Keke :smileyhappy2:


Even Tin Woodman is here :smileyhappy3:


I’ve heard that owning a cactus helps you to ward off evil, but at the same time it causes death if you place it inside your house. It puts me in a dilemma whether to get one or not :confused:


More cactuses! :weather8:

That being said, I doubt I will head over to Hort Park anytime soon :scared:

(via)

Move aside Giordano, Hang Ten, Bossini, etc. Here comes Uniqlo, Japan’s NUMBER ONE casual wear brand! Uniqlo at Tampines 1 is the very first outlet to be launched in Singapore and Southeast Asia! Another outlet would be at ION Orchard (TBC). Being an extremely proud resident of Tampines for the past 24 years, I chiong all the way to the mall after my work only to find out the horrible truth! shocked


Lots and lots of patrons inside the store. I refused to get in the first time and went to explore around the mall ;)


The entire mall started to get crowded.


And REALLY crowded :doh: How to shop like that? :disbelief:


I went up to the rooftop to get a breather :hehe:

I turned back to Uniqlo hoping that the queue would get shorter :s


Instead…


… it gets even worse! :argh: Is this gonna be another Donut Factory craze?! I HOPE NOT! shocked

Uniqlo will be having a 10-day celebration offer from 9 – 19 April 2009! :love:

Other than the highly raved Uniqlo, there are other stores like Bakerzin, Challenger, Dorothy Perkins, Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant, New Urban Male, Recoil, Topshop, etc. Ok there are too many to name. Drop by to explore yourself :D

I shall return back once the hype is over since it’s just a stone’s throw away from home ;) I will camp myself every weekend at Tampines as Jurong Point is already getting boring :x Meanwhile, visit the website to get more information about the mall hee

Updated with group photo! :D At last…

This is a lonnngggg overdue post which I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the photos to arrive. Already two months and I still didn’t get the pictures from my friend’s friend. I gave up ok! Two months to upload pictures? wth I think by the time the photos came, I may be getting married already :argh: (nah, that’s 5 years later :D ) Lesson learnt :shift:

I have been travelling all around the world for 21 years but this is the first time I went to Batam. Don’t laugh, but it’s true :doh: Dang, I missed the days where I can travel freely without paying anything. It sucks to be an adult isn’t it? hee


We had A&W for dinner! Missed it so much! The Indonesians call it “Ah Wai” haha :D



Nail art galore! I had a hard time selecting the design I want :panic:


After some consideration, here are my pwetty nails! :D I designed them myself. I think I’m pretty talented in this. I’m gonna pick up acrylic nail art! :no:


On the ferry! Lucky I didn’t suffer from motion sickness :wiggle:


Here are my loots for the day :erm:


I lugged back 11 tubs of Mandi Lulur from the hypermarket :wiggle:


Mandi Lulur, often used in spas and villas in Batam, Bali, Bintan, etc woot Surprisingly, it only costs S$1.40/tub! 10 times cheaper than the salt scrub sold at The Body Shop! :lol:


Look at its smooth, creamy and milky texture. I like! :D

Was at the Singapore Fireworks Celebrations @ Marina Bay during the weekend. Curse the weather, but still it was an enjoyable event. The fireworks were extremely magnificent and spectacular! Oh gosh. You need to be at the actual scene to experience it. Enjoy the fireworks galore! :D

The Martini Innercity Festival (MIC) is a 21-day festival held from 11 July – 14 August 2008 where you could sample specially blended martinis from participating bars and pubs all over Singapore. DK and the organizers of BLOG2u was generous enough to invite me to the event. Thanks guys! :erm:


The nifty menu that was presented to us @ Zouk Wine Bar.

I am an absolute noob when it comes to liquor. Thank God I have the professional bloggers to help me out :D


Some of the martinis that we get to try – Choya Martini, Espresso Martini, Healthitini, Hersheys Martini, Kyoto Killer, Tropicaltini and Lychee Martini.

At first I requested for Kyoto Killer, but I was told that the alcohol percentage was much higher than the rest of the martinis. Worrying that I might get tipsy, I changed it to Tropicaltini instead :secret: However, I would still prefer my favourite Lychee Martini hee


Thereafter, we drove over to House @ Dempsey Road to try out more martinis :p Finally! I’ve been really eager to visit Dempsey a long long time ago! (it’s a great place for dating :wiggle: )


Yes, we are freaking lost :x

Here’s an interesting find!


Cockadoodle for the male and Pussycat for the females!
No prize for guessing what is that for ;)


I realized that House has a unique way of presenting the martinis compared to the rest of the bars. Don’t you think so? ;)


We ordered Prohibition and Tippin Punch. Notice the pricing shocked
I can buy two tops or a dress with the added price :p


Here’s Prohibition. Tea Party! :o


Tippin Punch, with the lao kok kok container where you could see from 和平的代价 lol :)


But it tasted heavenly :blush:

What do you get when you place food, drinks and bloggers together? Lots and lots of cameras flashing and cam-whoring =)


I truly enjoyed myself with the rest of the bloggers. From left: Leonard, Neo, Cherie, Nadnut, Me, Sabrina and DK :erm: I’m looking forward to the next event hee

Pictures without watermarks are credited to DK and Nadnut ;)

Prawning! I went prawning again at Lakeside Fishing Village since my last visit there 2 years ago ;)


The huge pond.


The 1st prawn we caught. Unfortunately, we only caught 6 prawns within a span of 4 hours lol :D That’s a bad achievement. And no, I didn’t get to eat the prawns hmm Gonna try our luck at Bottle Tree the next time. I am seriously addicted to prawning :lol:

On a random note, here’s an MRT & LRT plan I found online. Wonder what will my career be, how old my kids will be and what awaits me when it completes. Will I be an old hag by then? Haha :wiggle:
