While i was away...

while i was away...

*I have been attempting to study. Yes i really did...

*Nursing a swollen eye, coz i had an eye stye.
-it just appeared one day, after i got home from school.
The eye stye gave me really bad eye discomfort, and i'm stuck wearing glasses for the next few days..i'm blaming it on the HAZE!

I know i'm not supposed to prod my eye infection, but the discomfort was reallly bad that i decided to "milk" my swollen eye off its excess liquid.. by bursting the infected tear gland.
My eye felt better almost instantly, and it was visibly less swollen..
Waking up with crusty eye definitely wasn't my ideal way of starting any day, alright!

*Attended a friend's wedding dinner.
-with the swollen eye, nevertheless, it was an enjoyable night. It gave me a chance to dress up and socialise, definitely something to look forward to, other than the mere thought of studying... i'm definitely turning dull.
I had fun mixing weird cocotions of alcohol for the groom during dinner, with the help of elaine and Jenny.
The groom drank it, not one but multiple glasses of alcohol, and it definitely was gross thinking back.

*Hung out at Macs til the wee hours of the morning for many days with Zoe.
where we munched on Mac Meals til we never wanna stuff another Mac in our face again.
-studying kinda brought out the eccentricities of my studying habits - i insist on laying out all my 13 colored pens arranging them in it's various intensity of shades.
We talked and came up with really stupid stuff, that left us laughing til our bellies hurt, and our teary eyes. (It wont be funny, if i were to relate it in here.)
Boo, Roy and Winston dropped by to visit me while i was studying yesterday night. =))

*Boo finally utilised the Birthday Raoul voucher that i've gotten for him. 6 Whole months later! *sulks*. Oh well at least the belt looks decent.


* I met Viv, a colleague of Boo, and he claims that viv reminds him of mommy. So he kept calling Viv, Auntie Florence. But i didnt quite agree with him, so i asked Winston, Roy and Zoe if Viv resembled mommy... and Zoe nearly spitted her drink when she took a good hard look at viv. All 3 of them agreed seperately that Viv resembles my mommy. Arhhh!

Later when all left, Zoe and i ordered breakfast, and the girl who served us our breakfast resembled Viv! OMG! It's all getting alittle scary, and i think all that studying is beginning to cause my eyes to play tricks on me!!

Tagboard!

the new Tagboard is up. It's not as funky as the old one...
they seemed to be having some weird problem...as it doesnt seem to reflect the colors that i've chosen.... oh well =( Let it be i'd guess.
bah!

Girl Power!

Pictures from the Korean flick, My wife is a gangster 2.
For 2 fridays in a row, i refused to stay out late, all for the show, my wife is a gangster, and the sequel to it, my wife is a gangster 2, the legend returns. I absolutely love the show!
Why so?

Because it portrays girl power! The coolness factor of the female lead is undeniable!
I can't help but gush whenever she does those kungfu moves of hers...
The female gangster a.k.a the female lead, bears a resemblance to Danny's Girlfriend Hui Xian. Even boo agreed with me on that!

And it was because of this cool chick gangster show, that sort of inspired me into getting my first pair of converse shoes, after watching the show, sometime last year.

But i hardly ever remember to dig out my grey and pink/coral converse boots out for a walk... oops.

There's also this cute fish radio that the shop in the show has, where the fish would tap it's tail and maneuver the microphone stand with its fins while singing to the song i will survive. . I wanna lay my hands on that cute singing fish... *sulks*
Enough of my gushing and swooning of my female gangster idol..
Click here for the movie review of the sequel.

There's apparently a part 3, and i can't wait for it to be out!!

Ahhhh girl power rocks! hoo!

Cuppies!

Looking pretty gleeful about the turnout of our cuppies!


Here we go! a better picture of me posing with the cupcakes!

It all started with my sudden cupcake craze, and me telling boo about baking cupcakes.
So we stopped by Jelita Cold Storage on the way home, and got the ingredients needed.

"I made up some instructions " (that's what boo said, when i decided to invent the quantity of the ingredients, as forgot to bring my cupcake recipes along...) and boo did the cake mixing, and adding of ingredients into the mixing bowl etc, and after 15 mins of baking, *ta da!* cupcakes we get!!

Though they haven't been prettily decorated yet, but they tasted rather decent. *big smilies*
We'll be baking another batch tomorrow, and we'll be fiddling with icing and all, to prettify the cuppies! Oooh!! watch out for them... might give them out to a few friends, if there's any to spare =)

Looking forward to creating simple decorations like this! (courtesy of Bernard's Cupcake book)

Dinner at Brazil Churrascaria

Selene and i met up for a shopping session on saturday! We scoured the entire Bugis Village for "the capri", and we succeeded! We left for our dinner dates ( she meeting her mom, and me meeting mine). Her mom gave me a ride home, and on the journey, i was reminded of our secondary school days, which usually ended with Selene's mom giving me a lift home, after we are done with the day's escapade.
Ah, reminising the young and carefree days always seem so sweet.


It's been quite some years since i last played the game of Pool.

Boo and i randomly met up with Danny and HuiXian for an imprompt dinner, and a session of Pool sprang into the conversation. We headed over to a pool palour at the Meridien Hotel, and spent the rest of the night there.

As it was HX's first time with the game, Danny coached her through the process and rules, while Boo and i played over at the other table. I've never been any good at the game, or had much patience in honing my skills, but i'd still say that the game of pool is rather enjoyable, coz as bimbotic as it sounds, i love the way the colorful balls scatter across the table. So pretty!

After Hx caught the gist of the game, we girls (meaning HX and myself) were left to polish up our mediocre skills at one table, while the masters of the game (the boys) did some catching up with their talks on life, during the game over at the other table.

We would have stayed on longer, if it wasn't for the fact that both Danny and HX had to work the next morning.

Boo and i had dinner at Brazil Churrascaria on monday. It was a secret meet up dinner, and we were told by the organiser that it was strictly by invitation only (therefore the lack of names).

The ambience and food is superb, and i'd have to say that it's one of the heartiest meal i've had ever! The amount of meat that i've consumed, is definitely stomach boggling! If you're a meat lover, you'll absolutely love it!However, my favourite dishes for the night would be the smoked ham, the caramelised pineapples, and the banana fritter!

I couldn't quite tell the difference from all the meat that i ate..there was a whole pile of them that i've sampled. Recalling the more memorable ones, from garlic beef, to beef rump, to chicken with bacon, smoked ham, baked fish, beef topside, some animal rib that i've decided to forgo and not forgetting the chicken heart!

The chicken heart is quite a laugh! Many were rather appalled at the thought of eating the heart of the chicken. A few chickened out when the chicken heart was served.
My boo gave the heart a try, and i'm so proud of him! I ate 2 hearts myself, afterall, it's not my first time eating the chicken heart.

But eating too much of the heart is another matter... so we donated our remaining hearts over to this guy who went out for a smoke! There was like more than 7 chicken hearts splotted on his plate, and he paled looking at it when he came back! He later donate most of it over to the chicken heart connoiseur next to him!

I washed my dinner down with this special brazillian mocktail. Couldn't recall the name of the pretty drink, but it was served with the mango juice suspended above the sparkling limeade even though both liquids were in the same glass. The color seperation topped with a cherry and pineapple decoration made a pretty sight!
I guess the density of the liquids kept them seperated... until the stirring mixed them together.
I love it! Yum!

For more pictures of the succulent meat and details about the Brazil churrascaria restaurant, click here for a written review. I would agreed on the part about going easy on the meat servings, to enjoy your eating experience there. Cheers!

days of my life.

Hey, i'm back! Was finally done with studying for Prices and Market test!
I do hope i'll pass. I spent my past few days chasing after Desperate Housewives Season 2 with the Boo! We sacrificed sleep just to satisfy our thirst to complete the entire season 2!
We're looking like 2 pandas now...


I spent my Friday night with Zoe at Bakerzin for dinner, we had pasta for main course, but seriously, i think the desserts was the main course! Just look at the desserts that we've ordered, It's seriously some sugar high that we had!

7 tapas/sorbet/icecream for $20 plus? So we ordered 2 Strawberry cheese coupe, 2 Caramel pana cota, 1 raspberry pana cota, 1 Sumatra icecream, 1 matcha icecream. We could have ordered more variety, if it wasn't for the fact that most of the sorbets and ice cream had melted (apparently the freezer was down)

Definitely a good time.
Strolling around town after dinner to kill time, we couldnt decide what to do, or where to go.
While deciding on our next destination, we killed time shopping around Tangs, and decided to dabble with the cosmetics and perfumes on display (Tangs extended their shopping hours to Midnight, and most of the counter ladies were gone.... no eagled eye salesperson to bug us, yay!)

Of all the stupidest stuff that could have happened while testing fragance, Zoe showed me a bleeding finger! I was mortified. not mentioning about my blood phobia..!
Well, apparently the embedded rhinestones on the bottle of Britney Spears fragance wasn't properly embedded, therefore slicing the side of her fingers, causing the pain and the bleeding.

Went to Marriot to wash her bleeding finger, then after loitering and after much contemplation..
we still didnt know what to do..

Time was definitely a disadvantage for us.
*there was our botched attempt in movies - we wanted to watch the korean show about some gigaloes for hire, but it wasn't available anymore
*Our lame attempt in KTV - she wanted to leave at 2am, as she's got school the next day... so we asked Kbox if we could possibly sing for an hour.

We settled for chilling out at the Balcony. It was... *yawn*.
so much for the hype and buzz..

I'm still feeling kinda exhausted from all that late nights, so i guess it's bed time for me.
