Every Anime Opening Ever Made

haha..quite funny...maybe most of the animes had similar opening but not all ba...

Doraemon Trailer

Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Mermaid Legend in cinemas 9th December 2010!
Available at all Cathay Cineplexes with the exception of The Cathay.

Join Doraemon and his friends in the underwater world along with all other fishy characters! Not forgeting Sophia, the princess from the underwater kingdom.

Personally I've screened this movie 4 times and not didn't fall asleep at all.
Just as how it was like with the usual Doraemon series, there's always a meaning and morale behind each story.
kind of humorous in this series too when alot of them mistaken Doraemon as a blue puffer fish.

Movie is in Mandarin with mandarin subtitles.

Why is this movie so special? it's specially made to commemorate the 30th Movie Anniversary of Doraemon. Coincidentally, it is also Doraemon's 40th Birthday this year! =)

I'm so bored and sometimes I wondered if my patience is being put on a test...

Sometimes positive intentions got read de wrong way, n sadly there's nothing I can do about it..

Talking about communications..

de uber sinful Long Weekend~!!

ay what a sinful long weekend, i had steamboats twice! lolx...
the first time round with at Xian De Lai cos my usual favourite too long Q at Zhong hua steamboat...

not satisfied enough, Drea went back to Zhonghua on Saturday..hehez this time round much earlier at 5pm to beat the peak hour crowd...
poor uncle des had an overdose on Steamboat over the long weekend.

tadah, went for steamboaty on Thursday after work..with Mr. Shi An too....Zhonghua's steamboat Q was way too long so we head down to Xian De Lai instead.
Xian De Lai is not too bad just that the soup ain't as nice as Zhonghua's plus tons of MSG! after a few bowls of tom yum Drea got to stop as my neck is hurting from the overdose of MSG alrd.
The good thing about Xian De Lai is that the Hum's are all peeled for you. but the drinks are not included in the package, you pay about $1.80 for a can of soft drink loh. that's the killer.

it's a lazy Deepavali nua-ing at home. both uncle des and drea ish feeling so nua that we ordered pizza for dinner instead of eating out..hehez...
tried their Cheesy Pizza...VERI YUMMY n CHEESY lehzz....*yumzz**

Xian De Lai steamboat still failed to satisfy Drea's steamboat craving, so...down we went to bugis again to attack Zhong Hua steamboat! woohooooo....absolutely yummilicious.
The soup based is almost MSG free la, i can drink n drink the tom yum soup to my heart's content!!!

of cos this is a MUST HAVE to finish off the steam boat meal. Yummilicious Durian shavings from Ji De Chi! uncle des is satisfied with Drea's recommendation of both places and food that night too...*happy*** just that he claimed he will not eat steamboat for the rest of the year already...ahahhahaha...

Bought Edamame to boil at home..it's way so much cheaper! a huge bag for only $2.95 and you can nua at home, watch tv and munch on them. a healthier option compared to chomping on chips right?

that marks the end of the super lazy long weekend that past way too fast..it's back to work again.
to make monday blues worse, my boss just informed me that i've to go up to KL to her tomorrow when i just stepped into office on Monday Morning...

so there, Drea ish flying off to KL again tml....with just a handbag and will be flying back tomorrow night...haizz....meetings meetings and more meetings.
Doraemon is gona give me an overdose soon.....

the previous weekend - Bro's bday @ Goodwood park

the previous previous weekend was Bro's Bday. we had a wonderful family high tea time @ goodwood park.
though the price has increased tremendously and in my own opinion, even though it has one of the best English High tea and biggest spread around, it's not really worth the $40+++ per pax.
I can top up a little more for a decent International Buffet at other hotels loh. =X

anyways tot of posting it here since i already have some pics posted in fb..might as well fully utilise..hehz..

some images of de foodie...yummy yummy!!

one thing i like about this place is de ever so ENGRISH cutlery!! the tea definitely taste better from these sweet floral teapots..hehz

it's pretty rare to come out as a whole family together, bringing BB zavier along, how can we not take a family photo? hehz...

that's Nai Nai with BB Zavier..

after the high tea, it's a par tor day for us! we seldom go out and par tor, cos i ish juz so nua...so going out once in a while really makes it special. look at how much fun we're having...hehezzz..

Sat night is anor soccer night for de guys...Uncle Des watching the Man U match with his friend @ Wave while i have iphone to keep me entertained...
this time round it's Sally's Salon...lolx.

Oooh and the fruit beer here ish beri nice! beri smooth!!
we tried the level 2 buffalo wings..cos level 4 was sold out..ji dan gao..
and it SUCKES!! it tasted so sour than spicy..Zzzzzz

guess tt's about all folks, i'm blogging this while taking a short break from my work..
ooh i'll be posting Halloween @ Night Safari photos soon..once i've gotten hold of the photos that is.
stay tune!!

Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Mermaid Legend is coming to Singapore!

pretty outdated, but i've been quite busy with work ...here's part of what i've been busy with.




Yes, Doraemon is coming to town! but this time round it's Doraemon The Movie: Nobita's Mermaid Legend. i did not post an image of the movie poster due to licensing rights, dun wana get into trouble, however, more information can be found through our distee, Cathay Keris.


Info taken from Cathay website . I'm sure many of us can relate to the heartwarming: "Xiao Ding Dang" back when we were young and watching it on Channel 8.
it's still airing on Channel 8 now at 9.30am every Saturday & Sunday.
Nobita''s Mermaid legend is the 30th Doraemon Movie, we're also celebrating his 40th birthday this year!

As you can see from the merchandise above? the theme's about the underwater world! hence Doraemon is in mermaid suit. I'll try to link up a trailer if it's convenient.

I'm sure for the month of November, you'll start to see some publicty and promotions going on.
As long as you see Doraemon with the mermaid theme, promoting the movie, Yes, that's Andrea's very first licensed character project. :)

New CAr New Luck

perhaps it was fate, perhaps it was time to change luck...
it wasn't in my planning to change car yet..
but little apple is reaching her 3 yrs mark...and that means, the troublesome part of owning a 3 yr old car has arrived.
having to send little apple for inspection (not to mention u gotta pay for it) and let alone the depreciating value of a car from its 4th year.

due to the high COE, the take in value for 2nd hand cars has been on de pretty good deal. coincidentally i merely mentioned that i'm looking at a honda.
well actually my first choice is a honda civic, then again civic's come at a premium price...

it so happen that they have a pink honda fit that just came in yesterday..so i went down to view..n so de story goes.


yes, Drea confirmed the purchase of the pink Honda Fit n decided to trade in lil apple eventually.
THere's 101 reasons for this change but its for the obvious. Honda's a much more prestigious brand and value's higher than a suzuki swift. i'll have problems selling off lil apple de moment she hits 3yrs.

If everything goes well, i should have my new pinky fit next week..gosh i'm not even mentally prepared for it!

change of car, change of luck! here comes my first honda! woohoo!

Weekend updates...

weekend was a blast~! a simple blast...hehe..maybe to make up for de slight disappointment for friday? just a tad of disappointment that didn't last more than an hour anyways..
cos i ish de understanding gf you mei you? lolx...

anyways, just some photos update for de beautiful weekend with uncle DD..-yeah that's his new nick, he's gona be known as uncle DD frm now....


Let's take a look. Drea went home and settled dinner on her own cos Uncle DD gotta work late and have his dinner elsewhere instead....
So with the left over soup from the night before.....

tadah! i self made it into tom yum congee...kekez....yummy......
I'd always prefered congee to rice anywayz...

Though Drea was all alone at home, Uncle DD rushed over as soon as his stuffs were done and bought Sundae for my dessert cum supper...hee..yeah~!!!

Saturday

The weather is so blardy hot and hazy la..grrr..what a weather..
it was so hot that....

even my pinkie tigger wants to take a bubble bath....ahahhaa...

nah, there were some plushies that's gone a tad too dark and grey from it's original colour that Drea decided to give each of them a bubble bath....i was done with all of them till de last piece, a huge white Zhu Zhu that i'm left achy arms and drained from any strength that i'd to call uncle DD for help...
when he came in, his first sentence was "why u wash this one also? this one can only dry clean..."
hehee..ok la what's done cannot be undone so he attempted to "murder" zhu zhu by squashing her in everyway he could and eventually leaving her out in de sun to dry..lolx...

After couple of hours of contemplation as to go out or nua at home, we've finally managed to move our asses and get out of the house for once....(most of de weekends were spent nua-ing at home cos drea is juz soooooo nua and lazy)

Off we went to PS, supposedly in search of a super late lunch and to catch a show...

took pixys with de uber retro sunglasses while on our way to PS! ahaha...Uncle DD ish so guai that he really wore the sunglass thru out de whole journey..*giggles**


Went for Uncle DD's favourite Teppanyaki for our lunchie cum dinner....

wanted to try the lobster meal this time round but shit loh, they're left with the last lobster set at de table, and they're cooking that for someone else already..JI DAN GAO!!!
anyways i'd the venison meat set while uncle DD took de Beef set that comes with de uber yummy and succulent Foie gras...ooooh lala..that was de creme of de toppa~!!
On a sidenote, the chawanmushi was quite specially cook too...it was poured inside this onion ring thingy...but cos it aint steam like de norm, it didn't taste as yummy and smooth though.

Being a Saturday, the mall's pretty crowded, considering the fact that the parking was full and i've to park a distance away all the way at Haw Par ctr (park mall there).
to make things worse, my sandals snap while walking back.!!!!
on de lucky side, i just bought a pair of new heels so i've spare heels to change but like yeah in de middle of a junction with everyone staring...=____________=

No movies to watch either cos everywhere is quite de fully booked...
i'm still glad we went out eventually, once in a while go out par tor then fun mah...ahaha...


went out with uncle DD to watch the man U match with his friend later the night at TPY central...where the previous Hog's breath was.
the place was taken over by..."i-can't -rembr-de-name"

it was a night of booze, snacks & ball for de boys...& for me..instead of de ball, i had Sally's Spa to play with de whole night..muahahhaah

A Nostalgic Place - Bubble Tea Hut

and this place is just so nostalgic la! used to go to this kind of places back in secondary school days for lunchie!! still remember back then, taiwan food and snacks ain't so commonly available.
Yes that was before Shih Lin Taiwan Snacks invaded Singapore.

We decided to give it a try...the food is okz not-too-bad and not-too-fantastic either.
give it a average bah....the bubble tea is quite nice just that it's a tad too diluted, would have been better if they didn't add so much ice in it.

though the food is average, the ambience and all makes the whole meal worthwhile!
we ate the above for like $19 for 2 person. quite ok la hor........

又是一个幸福， 开心， 简单的周末~!!! 因为有了你， 周末也变得不一样了！！

有时真的很讨厌最后的更改。。
当你一直期待莫样东西
快盼到的时候，
既然有了更改
多了几次， 自然而然连失望的感觉也快没有了= 麻木

或许我应该学会体谅， 谅解， 但是还是觉得有些无奈， 也觉得好像怪怪的。。。

de Long Weekend...

Was on leave last Friday as it's PaPa's 49th day.
he came home for the very last time for the final prayers and then perished off with the rest of the offerings.

The monk was having such good business that he totally forgot that he did prayers for papa's funeral at our void deck..=____=

死人的生意果然那么好赚!





After all de nitty grittys, we pop over to Vivo for a lunchiee, mama been wanting us to try the crispy herbal duck at dian xiao er...so here we are...

the thing about vivo's restaurants, most of them are blessed with the beautifully scenery of the sea. and especially so at Dian Xiao Er, the whole place really looks like a 客站.


that's the family...hehz..mama, bro and da sao...



The food at Dian Xiao Er is really nice! the crispy duck comes with really crispy duck skin and the sauce with a tinge of herbal taste in it. this Dong Po meat they ordered is soft and succulent too with no disgusting Pork taste. as many of you would have known, i ish not a fan of PORK~!



in anyways, it was a lovely friday afternoon spent with the family, simple lunchie together...with a simple kopi session thereafter...


Bro loves kopi. he is one who knows how to enjoy life. So there were we, sitting at Garden's Cafe at Vivo, each of us with a cuppa in our hand, appreciating the kopi with cheesecake and this dark chocolate coated ginger snaps bought at Candy Empire next door.
(and this is despite he needs to rush off for work in de afternn loh)

The day ended with Bro dropping us at orchard where his office is, me went for my hair cut and whatsoever whereas mama & da sao went shopping.

speaking about the hair cut, i kind of hate how my hair looks like now la, rebonded my fringe so it's looking kind of flat and my fringe has been cut slanted which was what i wanted but i forgot to emphasize that i wanted it in LAYERS!
as you can imagine it wasn't done so in layers, so it's kind of chunky and straight and i look like a kuku now...Grrr....can't wait for my fringe to grow back.... guess i'm juz gona wear it long and swept at the side, that'd be so much more complimenting to my fat round face then the current style..GRRrRRrrrr


it kinda looked a tad better in the photo...maybe cos i didn't have my hair pulled behind as always....aargh in anyways i'm just hating how it looks now..
Uncle Des says i look like Musha Keroro...

this is Keroro, 像咩??!??


on a side note, we've got a new addition to our family! hehe this was supposedly to be Uncle Des's bday pressie too.....though it arrived a little late..hehz..

kawaiiii neh!

thought of the moment...

saw this advert on tv on the latest hokkien compilations album on all the hot tv series 主题曲 such as 我问天 etc...

i would had bought a copy of papa if he's still around, i'm sure he'd like it....

that advert triggered back memories of papa. coincidentally, it's his 49th day tomorrow.
i used to find his same daily questions every morning irritating.
every morning as i'm rushing off for work, he'd asked me the same questions.
"got bring hp? computer no need to off ah?"
same old thing just on a different day.

现在想听到也没有机会 了。。。

perhaps it's due to de 49th day ritual taking place tomorrow, i dreamnt of papa's funeral last night...can't help but felt a tinge of sadness when i woke up this morning...

the blessed thing was having uncle des giving me wake up call each morning, hearing his voice first thing in de morning comforted me somehow...=)

a favourable day

i always love it when mama's off and BB zavier will be over at our place...
it means i'll wake up seeing BB zavier, play with him a little before i leave for work and come home for a yummilicious family dinner after work..

and the best part is, most of the time, uncle des will join us for our family dinner too...wootz...which means i get to play with 2 BBs...hehez...the big one and the small one...

went home for lunchie earlier today since i've a meeting before lunch time that's near home...and i'm really so sick of eating out.
Mama was telling the maid "Andrea also poor thing, always eat outside eat until sian already" ya lohz..cos mama is either working late or over at bro's so her poor daughter has to settle her own dinner loh...


anywayz, was tending after BB zavier whilst they cook lunchiee...
tadah..happy BB zavier playing on my bed...

de moment i place him on my bed, he kept smiling...hehe..he likes 姑姑's comfy bed!!

BB Zavier seems to know when you're taking photo of him, when he sees me whipping out the phone, he'd give that ??? or expressionless look most of the time, hard to capture his smiling moments sia, must really take him off guard.

Else the moment he sees the phone, he'll stare at it and try to grab it away from me..Grrrrrrrr

a brand new day...

felt so much better already...certain habits need to be kicked.
certain activities need to be put in place.
thou shalt not be such a nua-er and try to go out a whee bit more often.


still loving my uncle des...




poor uncle des has been on the receiving end of my tantrums during this pms period..

pls do Drea a favour and remind her not to bully uncle des anymore~!!

An Invasion of Privacy

I'm sure many of you had read about the sagas that followed after an employer read what was posted on the staff's FB's or even blogs...or how wives discovered affairs via online postings.

Recently there's anor hoo-haa from a group of people that i know. coincidentally, i know both the boss and the staff involved.
The staff, a young girl posted almost everything in her fb, including her displeasures with work and even explicit dialogues with others.
The boss chanced upon her FB and obviously saw all those.
and then she got really mad and started spreading news about him Intruding her privacy..(obviously followed by throwing of the letter)

like..WTH?

with the internet these days, nothing you post or mention online is ever considered private. don't tell me there're still naive people who thinks that you can have all the privacy you want online?

When one chosesto comment or post something online, one must be prepared that there will be a chance of others reading it, including the list of people you least wanted them to see or read.

My friends, if you do think that something is very private to you and when others happend to read it, before you start accusing people of invading your privacy, please think twice.
if it is really so private and you mind people reading or seeing it, then don't post it online!

this is just some very general knowledge isn't it?

what's gotten into me..

was it the pms or was it other things..
been feeling moody...prefer to coop up at home than go out and meet friends, in this way i can choose not to talk when i don't feel like it, there's no need to patronise anybody in particular.

yes, the talkative drea can get lazy to talk at times too.

maybe i over-reacted today..

The same old saying goes, do not unto others what you don't want onto yourself. (ok i'm quite sure i got the phrase wrong somehow but who cares?)

getting sick and sian of life all over again...with work, with money, with the car with life overall.

something needs to be changed, i need to get out from the current situation.

Tweet...Twwweeetttiiieeee Tweets....

oh yeah twitter..i'm on twitter...figuring out how to use this thingy...
just ya, thought it's pretty fun using it to chat and touch base with friends on the bo liaoz stuffs..so..

add me if you have a twitter a.c ya. it's andrea_lyq
cya on twitter..hehz

lil little pressies....

haiz..clumsy me...look what happened to the "couple" cup i'd with BFF...

From 1 become 2 pieces..=____________=
Uncle Des aka 怪叔叔 promised to buy me a new one..but but but..IT's NOT DE SAME!! it's de first pressie he bought for me...and i'd a matching set with BBF....*Wails..**

On a lighter note, my boss got me this~!!

a cute little piggy that goes *oink oink* when u press the tummy..hehez..a good perk-me-up at work when you try to get on your colleagues' nerves..muahahaha...



and i'd a mega version at Uncle Des's house..

tadah..my cute little zhu zhu..who will stay there and keep and eye on uncle des when i'm not around..*evil laughs**


and oh a little gift from zhuvan...customised pen with my name with pink thread! heee

brought it to office to use....thank you zhuvan...
i've received the card too! can't say it's bday card cos it's not supposed to be i guess...=p



And oh wow check this out, mama cooked this the other night....

It's BIRD NEST!! NONononnoononoo..wait..
it's UBER THICK BIRD NEST! ahaha...yummy...women must take care ma...that's alot of collagen in a tiny bowl i guess...

the key to looking YOUNG!!! Wootzzzz

Better....much much better.

Things were getting on better..we’re slowly getting to used to just Mama & I in de house without PaPa…

Of cos, Drea is extremely thankful to de ppl who has been by my side…like De zhus & not forgetting 怪叔叔 who has been with me all these while..

He is no doubt the Best Boyfriend one can have, being by my side, helping out thru out the funeral & thereafter, coming over to my place for dinner so that we can both keep Mama company…time has been spent at home instead of par-tor-ing elsewhere or going to the movies.

I’m sure PaPa probably knew that and is relieved that his daughter is in good hands, hence he chose to leave in peace with no more worries on earth.

Even though I’ve been a nua tang who loved to stay at home all along, a lot more time has been spent and catered at home. I’ll try not to leave mama alone at home and keep her company for dinner & because I’ve such a wonderful bf, he joined me in keeping mama company.

a lot of time was spent with de family & of cos, that includes BB Zavier!! he's at 4 mths now..lil boy knows how to flip and is making attempts to crawl already!

Not many men that I know of are willing to do such things, you’ve impressed my family & others very well. Especially when you brought the fruits upstairs to cut for everyone at the funeral.

I guess I would have shut myself from the rest of the world if it’s not for your presence, thank you once again for all that you’ve done. I’m truly appreciative to each and every action.

Being such a wonderful bf, how can怪叔叔 not have a bday surprise that he well deserved? Even though he doesn’t celebrate his bday I still think that he deserved a little surprise, even though it might not be convenient for a real celebration at this point of time. (I’m still in mourning, you see…)

Hence, Drea thought of this little idea…to decorate my car boot with happy bday and to place some simple gifts and his favourite cheesecake in it too.

The plan goes like this “ Drea shall ask怪叔叔 to help her take her bag from the car boot, so he can open up the car boot & voila! Lovely surprise”

this is how the lil surprise looks like...hehz..(to think he didn't notice when he first open de boot..=_________=)

And thereafter we went for a lovely crabby feast together with De zhus~!!!

De zhus were so lovely, they even helped to get a small cake since it's his actual day..

Tadah! Lovely, with our new addition of Xiao Zhu Zhu! lolx




And Check this out la!




He took this pic of me when we're fooling ard at Daiso, he says look like Chun GU!!! %$%#@%#$#. Should have made him wear the hat and take a pic too! hmmph

falling.....back

de feeling is back again...the same way i'd felt when papa was admitted...the same way i'd felt when papa first came home..

i lost interest in most things, avoided meeting up people...n slowly, i cut down on talking..

'are u ok?' some may ask....a smile covers it all..

either i'm lazy to get out and meet frens or i'm just plain avoiding..dun want to talk about it. ..and i dun like being asked if i am ok. who de hell will really tell u that he or she is not ok?

at times before i hit de pillow, i'd thought of papa....and then i'll sniffle myself to slp...

the house can get really quiet with just mama and me...i've to stay home as much as i can to keep her company..but...we can't really get the best of both worlds can we?

everyday start to be like any other day...and i'm starting to feel like a zombie yet again...

de Sudden Departure

all along we thought that papa was recovering and coping well.
but the bad news struck this morning, PaPa passed away peacefully in his sleep in the wee hours of the morning.

Wake will be held at my void deck for 5 days and cremation on Wednesday afternoon.

at least he no longer have to suffer...

Happy Chinese Valentines, Qi Xi Jie (Qi Qiao Jie)

I'm sure most of us weren't aware that today is our Chinese Valentine's Day. Also known also Qi Xi or Qi Qiao Jie.
You may not be familar with this festival, but the term 牛郎织女 will be familar to most of us right?

I didn't know that we celebrated this day on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. Now i'm starting to wonder why that 7th lunar month? ain't it supposed to be hungry ghost month? why allowing them to meet only in such a scary month of the so many 12 months to choose from??

They weren't even ghost to begin with, apparently both were fairies or rather in a different version, Zhi Nu is a fairy.
Did a search on this festival, apparently there were 2 versions of the stories.

Below story taken from XihaLife.com

History, version 1

According to the first version, the seven daughters of the Goddess of Heaven caught the eye of a Cowherd during one of their visits to earth. The daughters were bathing in a river and the Cowherd, Niu Lang, decided to have a bit of fun by running off with their clothing. It fell upon the prettiest daughter (who happened to be the seventh born), to ask him to return their clothes.

Since Niu Lang had seen the daughter, Zhi Nu, naked, they had to be married. The couple lived happily for several years. Eventually however, the Goddess of Heaven became fed up with her daughter's absence, and ordered her to return to heaven. However, the mother took pity on the couple and allowed them to be reunited once a year. Legend has it that on the seventh night of the seventh moon, magpies form a bridge with their wings for Zhi Nu to cross to meet her husband.

History, version 2

In the second version, Niu Lang and Zhi Nu were fairies living on opposite sides of the Milky Way. Feeling sorry for the two lonely sprites, the Jade Emperor of Heaven actively tried to bring them together. Unfortunately, he succeeded too well - Niu Lang and Zhi Nu became so enraptured with each other that they neglected their work. Annoyed, the Jade Emperor decreed that from that point on, the couple could only meet once a year - on the seventh night of the seventh moon. And so today, star gazers celebrate Qi Qiao Jie by gazing up at the star Vega, east of the Milky Way which represents Zhi Nu, and at the constellation Aquila, on the west side of the Milky Way, where Niu Lang waits for his lover to join him.

I remember Mama telling me the version 2 story before when i was young.
Whether it's true anot, well indeed it was a sad story, imagine being able to see your partner only once a year!!
and sorry, this absence will not make the heart fonder, it defnitely makes the heart WANDER!

So people, treasure your love ones~!!!
If you think your partner is getting sticky, think again! there are those who wished to be by their partner side and yet can't do so.

Count your blessings~!!
And for the kukus out there, sorry but on this Chinese Festival, Chinese do not do gifts exchange like the Western way~!

Apparently, girls used to make offerings to Zhi Nu on that day, and it's also a day for girls to exhibit their embroidery or sewing skills, but these days, i think no need la.
Hardly any girls i know can sew...(perhaps you can, but neat anot is a different story)

ok end of story. FULL STOP! ahahaha

Snippets @ Work

it's friday again! just sharing some funny snippets @ work.
as i've been collating research data from our kids manga publication - COCO! magazine, i've been opening the mails sent in.

that's how much "Fan Mails" we can get in a day, at least 30..


Kids are really cute that simple things they does can just brighten up your day, other then reading the funny comments they make or surprising you with weird items they'd include in the envelop such as a nicely folded PLASTIC BAG! that made me burst out laughing or a stapled newspaper cut out to protect their form. lolx...


This 11 year old boy, actually wrote a composition in too, sharing with us how he spent his National Day. and his composition is hilarious la!
the naiveness and directness from a kid.




He even made an effort to decorate it with stickers! what a detailed composition of what he did the whole day from making a call to his cousin to the eating tidbits after playing play station and 'happily littering' around.
I'm glad he had fun littering about at home, lets hope that he didn't kena from his mum later the day.

and this part when i read out loud, all of my colleagues were laughing!

"because the cake is like two A4 size paper! lolx...our writer replied '2 A4 size paper makes it an A3 my dear" ahahhaahah...

Kids never failed to amuse and amaze me.

At the end of his composition, he was writing about how badly he really like one of the lucky draw prizes and asked if he could have them.

For being such a polite kid that brighten up our day, Yes boy, you'll get the prize you really wanted. =)

The Long Weekend = Coin Dozer!

LOLx, somehow i got pretty hooked on this game, trying to hit the 10k score...so i spent most of my national day evening playing on this game that Mr. Bf has to asked me to STOP! ahahh..

Not sure if the game platform wasn't catered to you achieving more than 4 digits coins hence corner of the figures were being cut off. so yea i managed to up my score from 4k to 7k and then to a 8k and finall 10k!! Wootzz.....

Many were asking how i managed to do it? simple!!
Just play loh! lol de more u play, the more rewards were being unlocked and there's how you get to get more coins! especially with the extra coins in coin shower!!


All my long weekend was catered for Mr. Bf.....didn't do much other than catching "Inception" - yes i know very late lah! but the tickets were selling like hot cakes before!!
so we head on down to Film Garde @ Kallang to catch the show!

it's gonna be our next hang out i guess, given the fact that it's so much less crowded there!
and actually also cos there's this hobbyist shop that sells animes figurines, they have tons n tons of collection man!

Well, don't have to further explain why were we there lah hor...???

Lovely, simple long weekend, but it's enough to keep Drea happy!



Furthermore, it was also our........

First month together! hehz...even though it's only a month, but it felt as if we've been together for a while. wonder if that's a good or bad thing.

Nevertheless, Drea loves the stability feeling from it....& she loves how comfy she felt with Mr. Bf...not to mentioned how pampered Drea gets when she's with him.
Snacks, food and drinks all served right up to below my nose, all Drea got to do was...."can i have my cold cold ribena please???? "
and VOILA! cold cold ribena appears in front of me within a minute! Hahaha
MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok now i know why there's this song called Love Like Magic! lolx...

Dinner @ Lei Garden, Chjimes

I've never been to Lei Garden @ Chjimes, it's really quite an Atas place, if it's not for our Japanese Boss who's in town, i'd probably not know of this place at all..hehz..

The decos are so nice, it's very much like a Chinese food served in a westernised size.
Most of the customers were all business people with like more than 50% non locals, lots of Japanese there, it was a no wonder they added ingredients like Wagyu Beef and Japanese canopies in their dishes.


And the food there is superb! very very nice!! almost everything we'd ordered is yummy.
The sharks fin alone is "Power" enough. you get to see the actual fins in your bowl and there's chunks of REAL crab meat inside too! not crabsticks hor.

and the best part of it was, there's a bottle of red wine that comes complimentary with the $198 10 course dinner that we'd ordered.
Didn't get to see a bottle of the wine though but it's uber smooth.

The dessert was some hawaiin papaya stewed in duno what, you can see in the bottom right pic above, it very much tasted like sweet potato though, can't tell that it's papaya at all.

Sorry didn't managed to snap pics on all the dishes, reckon not very nice la with boss around so i just took a few shots discreetly.

For those looking at a nice chinese restaurant with good ambience to bring your overseas friend to, i'd highly recommend Lei Garden @ Chjmes!

THe minus point is the car park charges @ $10 per entry though.ZZzzz =_____=
