My dearest boy birthday surprise

29th October was my dearest boyfriend, Lionel Lee, big day. Due to his coming papers, we have decided not to spend too much time on the birthday celebration. Hence, it became a hush hush birthday celebration where there's just 2 of us. I wanted to actually bring him out of Singapore but knowing how important exam is to him, I decided to forgo the thought of it.

It was reallll....y hard to plan for so a small yet meaningful and unforgettable birthday celebration. Money is not an issue but TIMING IS! Hence, I told him that we will have crab noodle from Uncle Leong instead since it was pretty long ago since we had crabs from very nice restaurants.

We went to the Punggol branch since we believe that the ambience will be better beside a park. We chose an outdoor sitting to enjoy the breeze of the after rain. We went there about 6pm on a Friday evening and was quite pleased that there was no queue.

We check on the menus and as usual, we order the dishes without knowing their prices cause they are not stated even for vegetables dishes. Excited to know what we have ordered?

1. The Fried Tofu

2. 3 different types of eggs Spinach (4 stars)

3. The famous CRAB NOODLE (5 stars)

4. The must order crab (Jin Sha Nai You Crab)

The total number dishes we have ordered for just the 2 of us

I think we are really CRAZY when we saw all the dishes arrived. People around us must have thought that we have not been eating well for the past 3 days. We tried to finish up EVERYTHING but we just couldn't store anymore food into our tummy for the MUST-ORDER Jin Sha Nai You crab and so, we got it packed for mummy instead. Mummy finished up the whole crab all by herself and kept praising that the crab is really good. :)

Darling went back to study after 2 hrs of dinner while I started sending my dedication to Yazmin on Class 95fm via the radio website. Mummy hide the small cake in the refrigerator where darling will least search it. :)

@11.58pm - I acted very busy running around the house to pack some stuff just so that he doesn't find something is amiss. I got the 2 slices of very delicious cake out ( it's 2 slices cause I believe that we will be very full after a good dinner at uncle Leongs and the 2 slices should be enough to feed Mummy, the bf and myself) and stick a candle on it. I was searching in vain for a lighter in my house but all I could find were MATCHSTICKS and so I tried to strike with the least sound I could do. Finally.. 12am came!

@ 12am (29 oct) - I sang a Happy Birthday song to him and the dedication was played after that. Mission accomplished!! He was very surprised and happy as well. However, he was too full to have even a pinch of chocolate. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING!!!

Movie Preview: Tower Heist

In this movie preview, I brought a colleague along to watch it with me. It had been eons since I had last watch a movie with a girl friend and when I found out that I had gotten myself 2 tickets from OMY, I knew I had to whatsapp her about it.

Before I share with you guys on my reviews about the show, here's a little synopsis about Tower Heist.
Tower Heist is a 2011 crime comedy film directed by Brett Ratner and written by Ted Griffin and Jeff NAthanson based on a story by Bill Collage, Adam Cooper and Griffin. Main lead actors are of course... Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. This show is about how the employees of an exclusive apartment building who lose their pensions in the Ponzi scheme of Wall Street businessman Arthur Shaw steal back their money with the help of an experienced criminal theft (Eddie Murphy).

Pre thoughts about the movie

When I first knew that I had got 2 tickets to the movie, I was really very excited. I must admit that I knew NOTHING about the movie even before entering the movie theatre but the thought about seeing Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy just excites me. Tuesday was a really stressed up day to end with especially when my head was thinking of solutions and solutions for the whole of TUESDAY! I met up with Rika at 6.30pm after sending one last important email. She was asking me if there was an issue at work and I told her immediately that Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller better make my day end with a good laughing moments. Eddie Murphy have been my one of my favorite comedian since Big Momma and Nutty professor days. He's just a really very talented guy. Rika and I got a popcorn set to enjoy the movie on our Tuesday Night.

Post thoughts about the movie

I pretty like the storyline of the movie. It shows how 4 noobs have to make their way through a high security building and steal  $20M out from the safe only to find out that the $20m was made of GOLD to build a CAR instead. The story in the beginning was a little too serious for the 2 comedians but I had a great laughing moments towards the end where they had to transport the big and heavy car out from a high level. It was reallly hilarious.

Even though the movie did really make my day end with a good laughter to forget the stress I had at work, I do think that this movie also did gave me some disappointments as it is not as funny as I really expect it to be.

Loudness of my laughter: 2/5

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank omy.sg for the tickets! :)

Monopoly Macdonalds

I'm a big loyal fan of Macdonald since young but I'm really trying to cut down on the cravings due to the FATs I would gain. But thanks to this monopoly contest which came back after a hiatus, I kinda put all the weight loss plans away hoping that I could win the $80,000 or that Macbook air.

On every week, I will be seen munching my burgers away while sticking those stickers on my Monopoly sheet. I'm glad that I have colleagues who are as enthu as me as well. We will exchange stickers and hoping that on one fine day, we will walk away with a CAR or $80,000 (fat hope.. I know!)

Nur with her Monopoly game sheet which she brings everyday

Our extra monopoly stickers. Threw alot away due to the repeated places I have :(

Here we are again at United Square Macdonalds during lunchtime. This is what all of us would be doing before we start our meal - tearing all the game labels apart. Hahaha!

As usual, we won nothing big in the end but just a small packet of fries which I think was a good consolation price.

A small packet of fries for the lovely Japanese lady. :)

Friends out there who are playing/not playing this Monopoly contest, please kindly keep a look out if you have the below game labels and do share with me if you have it k?

- Joo chiat Road

- Toa Payoh

- Thomson Road

- Tanjong Rhu

- Shenton Way

- Orchard Road ( I will probably sell the car away and share the prize)

Here are the list of current unclaimed prizes. The $80,000 prize had been claimed. :(

Fright Fest at Singapore Flyer

When I knew that I have won 2 tickets to FrightFest @ Singapore flyer media launch (thanks to Omy.sg), I was as happy as a lark. This is the very first time in my 25 yrs of my life that I am going to meet the Pontianaks and hantu. I brought my boyfriend along with me for this event just in case the event was too scary for me. :)

Tickets cost $25 nett – Includes entry into FrightFest @ Singapore Flyer Rainforest and 1 Special Halloween Brew (non-alcoholic)*

It was a pity that I didnt have time to shop for a halloween outfit or accessories and hence I ransack my wardrobe and manage to pull out a dress and a horn for this event.

The day finally came and I met the boyfriend at Suntec at 7pm. We had a quick dinner and made it at the event at 7.45pm. We were pretty lost at first as it was a pretty long time since we had went to Singapore flyer. The very last time was 2 years ago when we have got 2 tickets to NDP preview and 2 years later... there's a new eatery food junction at the Singapore Flyer!!

We made our way to the Singapore reception counter and was greeted by a few 'scary' people. Oh boy, I can see that these people are really very enthusiastic with the halloween theme. During the registration, I was shock to realise that the organizer for the event was one of my secondary school friend, Fulvia. Even though we were both from different classes, I'm glad that she could still remember my name. :)

The event started not long after we have all settled down. Since this was a media launch, we will be seeing only 60% of the pontianaks on that night. Still, I was feeling really excited and scared at the same time that the haunted jungle is too much for my timid heart. 

The entrance to the haunted jungle..

Camwhore a little while waiting for our turn to enter into the very eerie jungle. Trust me.. hearing the first batch of people shouting isn't really helping me to conquer my fear.

Pieces of Talismans were seen almost everywhere in the jungle.

After 5 mins of waiting, it's finally our turn to enter into the dark jungle. We were greeted by this old lady who was smacking her clogs on the paper man and was cursing at in in Cantonese.

All of us started snapping photos of her until she suddenly stood up and scare us by shouting in Cantonese. I nearly threw my camera into the plants and run. A girl in front of us was so frightened that she took a step back and stepped onto my bf's feet. Ha ha ha!!!

We walked further into the jungle and out of nowhere, a ghost appeared in front of me. She's a rather nice ghost cause when I asked her to take a picture, she stood there for me to proceed. Good ghost!

When my heart was much settled into the environment and was talking to my boyfriend about the decorations which the event organizer had put so much effort in, 'HE' had to BOO me and scare the shit out of me. My boyfriend was laughing out loud when he saw me shouting like a 3 yr old girl. My boyfriend even asked him where was his buddy that night. Guys!!!

See how happy my bf is! After snapping this photo, I realised that the 'ghost' looks rather funny and cute instead of scary. Maybe it is just me who is afraid of 'HIM'. I kept asking my bf to beat him up when the 'ghost' try to catch me. HAHAHAH!

After all the scary moments, here comes something really funny!!

This lady here doesn't really appear to be a ghost to me. She was kneeling down on the floor, crying when we saw her. She stood up when she saw us approaching and told us that she was really sad that her so-and-so passed away. She plead us to look into the coffin and pass us a joss stick. We didn't know what to do and hence we stood there with the joss stick and asked each other 'WHERE TO PUT THIS JOSS STICK'. With nowhere to poke the joss stick, we put it on the floor and walk away. This lady made it so realistic as she kept putting her head down and asking us to look into the coffin. 5 star for her drama-ness!

2nd laughing moments:

This cheeky ghost took a feather duster and tickle my leg when I walk pass him. The jungle was in total darkness and when I felt something poking my leg, I told my bf that there's something on my leg and he was like.. NOTHING LEI (cause the feather duster was only poking at me).. ORH.. THERE'S THE GHOST!

A nice pretty ghost.. YEs.. I was sweating.

Here's some pictures of the deco.

 

The fright fest was really frightening and I'm calling out to all daring friends out there who wants a taste of a fearful experience to PLEASE KINDLY MAKE A PURCHASE TO THE FRIGHT FEST Singapore flyer.  

After a good frightful time at the frightful fest, it's finally.. the SINGAPORE FLYER TIME!

I didn't know Singapore looks so nice till I'm on top of the flyer. 

The complementary Halloween brew which taste really nice! I really wonder what was in that drink.

That sort of sum up my whole experience in the Fright Fest Media event which I was invited by Omy.com.sg. Thank You OMY!! I'm gonna show you some pictures to end of this gruesome post.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!

My top ten favourite past time..

I am 3/4 done with my report when I decided to just give myself a short rest and blogged. I was trying to think of a title and finally came up with this. I couldn't blog much about my outings since I have not much agenda for any outing. :(

So what's my favourite top ten things to do if I have NOTHING to do?

10. Doing the 4 minutes work out.
The 4 mins work out was being introduced by Rachel when we were having our dinner meet last month. She was telling me that her friend had lose loads of weight doing the 4 mins work out. I went to check on it on Youtube and I was amazed by the number of 4 mins work out video youtube has. I picked one of the less tedious video and did it. I didnt lose any weight still since I do it only when I have time but hell did I enjoy jumping around along with the video. I enjoy it most when the bf follows me. You guys should try it out!

09. Munching tidbits
I know munching tidbits is reaaallly... very unhealthy but this is really a good de-stress method at least for me. I love it especially when the tidbits I am eating is something new in the market yet taste very nice. Some of my favourites are, Lay's Kyushu Seaweed, Pocky, Pringles and many more!

08. Checking on discounts/sales in the internet
This is really something that I do very randomly if I'm extreamly bored and have nothing else to do. I will head to reebonz.com to check out on the bags even though I know I could not really afford it, Zuji.com.sg to check if the airplane tickets prices drops and checking on groupon.com.sg or any of such websites to see the upcoming deals.

07. Watching tv programs on channel 8 or 5
It's really wierd on how I only spent my time watching local tv programs. I used to only watch SCV TV shows when I was still a student but now.. I guess with the only 3 hrs of leisure time I have from Monday to friday, the only nice programmes then is.. channel 8 local drama at 9pm. :)

06. Checking on facebook almost everywhere I go
Everytime I feel alone or someone ignores me for a sms/games (my bf does that almost all the time), I  will just logged into fb on my mobile and scroll down with all the updates. Some of the updates really makes me laugh, smile or feel sad but well.. I guess this is really a past time I spend most of my time doing.

05. Reading magazines
Reading magazines is like a therapy for me. Whenever I feel tired from a day at work or play, a magazine just never fails to perk me up. The models, beauty tips and food tips could just make me stuck on it for hrs. My favourite magazines are I zhou kan(local), Her world mag, Cleo and time out magazines.

04. Blogging
I really love to BLOG even though I do not have a forte in writing but I just love to express my feelings through writing. It's really a pity that I could not blog as often as compared to the past but I will TRY! It's really sad that whenever I'm at some splendid place and snap some shots so that I can blog, I just couldnt find the time doing it and when I finally could.. I FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! Darn!!

03. Facial moments
I have only been to a facial parlour once and that's my last even though I enjoys it. I just like it more when I'm putting on my mask at home with no one pushing any sales to me. I love it even more that I do not need to make any appointments and have the freedom to do it anytime I like. Till date, I have 8 boxes of taiwan masks, 2 boxes of facial products from Laniege and soon... I'm gonna splurge on SK2 products when my company has the SK2 sale. *can't wait*

02. Blogshopping
Blogshopping is like my 2nd best thing to do during my free time. It's woman's best thing on earth, I proclaimed! Haha! Here are some of the fantastic blogshops I would recommend to you. http://www.shopalabellavita.com/, http://www.hollyhoque.com/, http://www.dressabelle.livejournal.com/ and http://www.lolliepopbestie.com.sg/.

and my hot FAVOURITE PAST TIME WOULD BE........



01. Reading blogs
Lol! Yes.. I love to read blogs. My bf knows it best. I can spend 1/2 of my day during the weekends to read blogs. I will just lay on the bed like a dead corpse and read on their lifes, products which they have been sponsored and then get inspired by them. Sigh.. what a boring life I have aeh! Hahah! So if you think that you're just like me.. do feel free to read these fantastic blogger's blog.

My 25th year old birthday week

I seriously can't believe it sometime when I'm telling people my age. In the past, I always wish I could grow up faster but now.. I just wish time could just take it a little slower. Most of my friends in facebook are starting to post loads of wedding photos, bride's photoshoot and their baby's photo.. some even had more than 2 kids! GOODNESS.. it seems like just yesterday that some of them just gossip about Westlife and backstreet boys.

Oh well.. I'm really do feel proud of these young mummy friends I have. They didn't seems to be one who could look after kids in the past but oh my... the way they look after their kids now is really.. unbelievably good! Whatever it is, I'm really proud of all of you and am very happy for you.

Ok, so back to the topic which is on my birthday. So what did I do? Actually, I didnt want to plan something big for this year due to my busy agenda and having a birthday which falls on a weekday is a BIG NO NO to take off especially on that week. I met up with my long lost pals for Itacho sushi and the chawamushi WAS GREAT! It's abit steep on the pricing but it is definitely worth it. I really enjoy so much that day despite that it was a blue monday which we have met. Rachel got me a lovely slice of cake and they were quite mean to make me finish the slice ALL BY MYSELF even though I was really full! But well.. the cake was really delicious and I managed to finish 3/4 of it all by myself.

The very same week, my colleagues decided to treat another colleague of mine to Swensen. The very last time I had Swensen was.. 4 months ago with Kervin and rest.. Nothing change much from the menu but the discounts from groupon made it super worth it to go. The same group of colleagues treated me to Marche the week after next to celebrate my birthday. Really love this group of girls loads. Without them, I will probably head to work with a heavy heart. They are the ones that never fails to bring laughter to my face even though it was a.. hectic day.

Happy birthday sam..

On the very last day of my 24th. I met the bestie for dinner. We wanted to have Big O for dinner with the 1 for 1 offer I had but Sushi Teh seems much delicious with the array of dishes they are serving and hence.. we made a trip down to Paragon to queue for SUSHIs!!!! The bestie seems skinnier after 2 months of not meeting her due to her excessive studies. Bestie, do take care of your health especially when you so much studies to deal with. I really heart this bestie loads. Her jokes, senseful learnings and actions just never fails to brighten my day. We bought each other a birthday gift even though we didnt tell anyone that we are getting for each other. Oh man.. great minds think alike huh! She had gotten me a limited ed smokey eye eyeshadowed from MAC and it is something I have been wanting to get for myself but couldn't find a good one.

Pardon me with my melting make up. The make up primer isn't working very well on my face. Any recommendation??

I guess it was the excessive meal from Sushi Teh that had gotten me sick on the very next day. So what did I had that caused me to take a half day MC the next day? *Look below but don't DROOL*

Saw the Chawamushi? THAT's MY FAVOURITE! The egg rolls were... ahh... -no words can describe it-!

And so I had a very bad headache on the very next day. It was so bad that I threw up in my office toilet bowl! OH man... how nice to fall so ill on that very day. Sam was really nice to come down to the bus stop to pick me up with sweets when I told her that I was very scared that I might faint anytime. I don't think it was food poisoning but more like.. the food was somehow too raw for my tummy, esp the prawns!

Met the boyfriend after I had completed my morning work. He took me to his place to have a rest before heading to the GP. The GP gave me a 1 day MC cause I asked for it else he will give me 2 day MCs instead. Workaholic right?

Him driving the dowager to town to celebrate her birthday!

The bf then took me to town to have our dinner at Aston specialty after roaming the streets of orchard. Nothing much was done on that day since I was quite sick to enjoy much. We had our dinner and then head home for a good sleep. I rather like it this simple sometimes else there would not be any big surprises in the future.

My manager treated us lunch on the next day too and I felt so fat on that very week to eat and eat and EAT. After the fantastic lunch, the team then called for another mini celebration during the PS team meeting. I was really happy for that whole week but well... not quite happy with the weight I had gained! Hahahhaha!!
