haji lane on wednesday


















met my sharon darling on wednesday (19/11/08) for some shopping and catching up
headed to haji lane first
there's this very pretty shop
that has nutcracker!
so nice isnt it
not to forgo
the shop has this nice n cosy feeling
=)











n how could i resist taking pictures with such a lovely thing!
there were actually a couple of nutcrackers placed in the whole shop
=D
























sharon n her falsie
=)









we didnt managed to satisfy the shopping craving
so we headed to bugis street at 900pm
haha
knowing that most of the shops should be closing soon
sharon got herself a very unique yellow top n a jumpsuit
whereas i got myself a white long shorts
*noticed it is called long shorts*
because it rather long, half of my tighs
but if u know me
i dont really wear such long shorts la
hahaha
but
it's pretty
with pleats detailings in the front
n
i got a high waist skirt
which i think is total impulse
since i dont even have to wear office wear to office can~

































we were so immerse with talking n catching up that we totally forgot about the time
hahaha
cos we actually went over to ah chew dessert place to get desserts for our family
n darly was sms-ing me asking if i'm heading home soon
so i replied saying that we'll catch the last train after getting the desserts
*w/o checking what time is it*
thank god to daryl who actually reminded me saying that there's prolly no last train
n we checked out watch to realised it was already past 12 midnight
lol
good time sure passes very fast
=)





*p.s i want more of such meet-ups please =D

Japanese food - Nirai-Kanai






19 Tanglin Road
#04-05
Tanglin Shopping Centre


Operating Hours:
Mon-Sat: 11.30am - 4.30pm
Sun-Thu: 6pm - 12am
Fri-Sat: 6pm - 2am




went there on the 15th of this month
i was like so free on a saturday after work
so i went home to make konniyaku jellies
hahahaha
thereafter
headed to amk hub to watch quantum of solace
which i think wasnt as fantastic i the review though




richard came over to pick me up
n like i've mentioned earlier on
as i'm wearing shorts n flip flops
hahaha
he decided to go to this place at tanglin for dinner
n partly because we only met ard 830
it's pretty hard to find a place that opens past 10pm for dinner
















i must say i was pretty impressed when i first stepped in
this places oozes Japanese culture
from the friendly welcome greetings from all the staff
to rustic wooden furniture
to the Japanese posters and scrolls
which plaster the wood-paneled walls



There is a main dining area
counter/bar-style dining
and a smoking section available





For some privacy and added authenticity
u can request for the Tatami rooms
which are individual rooms with traditional-style floor level seating

























this taste pretty like "harden" bread
it's the harder kind that taste a lil sweet as a whole
not those where your teeth just sunk into the food












a very simple but we both love how it taste like
n i'm so determined to make it myself one day
especially when now i actually enjoys lettuces
n i know how this taste like
i think i can make up how this dish is made
=)
like the name suggest
"taco" rice
it taste really like dishes with the "taco" taste
adding minced beef to flavour up the dish
n lettuces to add on the layers of the food













cold noodle
u can opt for either the soya base or the sesame
richard opt for the sesame ones as he says he's always eating the soya one
but i guess the soya one tasted better
the noodles were super chewy
topped with grilled pork
yum yum
=)










i was quite hesitate about ordering this
cos i dont like to taste bloody beef
hahaha
n this was named "cubic"
so i was thinking
that it prolly will have that bloody taste
but
i'm wrong
i bet this is one of the only places
that i actually dares to take beef, not in thin slices
it is so chewy
so well marinated
cooked at a very well controlled fire
thumbs up


*denise strongly recommend this*
=D









this places does not have a very wide variety of food to choose from
if u dont take food like beef, n salmon
hahahaha
(which is me. lol)
thus in order to accomodate me
we ordered something that missus eats
hahahahaha
this dish is well handled
as it's crisp on the outside
juicy on the inside
(but of cos, not as oily as K*C)
hahahaha





we didnt ordered alot
but we were so full
because we wanted to have hagaan daz while walking ard town
but were too full
so we randomly drove around
enjoy the good weather and the breeze
n landed up n changi airport can!!!
hahahaha




not satisfied that we didnt have our ice cream
n only airport has places to satisfy out cravings at 12 midnight
lol
we ended up there
changi airport was filled with disney characters la
we were greeted at the entrance with mickey n minnie mouse
wanted to take a photo of it
but because we not sationary
i didnt have a change too
bohoo~











thus the night ended well
with us feeling so satisfied with the ice cream
that we didnt realise the tram ended at 200am
so we walked all the way from t2 to t1
(as he parked his car there)
how cool~




one thing i enjoyed hanging out with this friend of mine is we both love a wide range of music
like he likes japanese piano too
so i'll tell him of the composers that i know whom i played their pieces n think it's good
n he'll recommend them
which explains how i can reach my hse downstairs ard 3
n eventually went home at 430
hahahah














sunday after class
cindy, yand n i went for ice cube at thomson
i think they shld seriously considered giving me some membership la
i'm going there at least once in a week or 2 times in a week la
until i think the waiter knows me le
-_________-"













the lovely red heart cushion n the lovely red bag
=)
i wan to go ikea la
i so wan to re-paint my room
n look for a big heart cushion!!!
lol












cheesy fries
sinful
but can never go wrong











yang's waffle with "strawberry" ice cream
i dont like strawberry ice cream la
but i love the products of strawverries
super contradicting
but i guess it's not just me who's like that right
lol













wedges
i totaly dig their wedges la
if only they serves cheesy wedges
wahahaha
























i think their main course are so bohoo~
miss OL n i prolly will not eat their main course here again
but willl always come here for the desserts
lol








yang's very pretty cufflings
wahahaha
so cute can
it's like we always see guys wearing the either branding ones or the typical shapes one
but this is like so effing duh, but cute la
hahaha





anyway
happy 20th birthday to my dearest sister CHUYUN
and
happy 25th birthday YANG

the november 29th babies
=)

Dian Xiao Er







had Dian Xiao Er at amk hub with my family n my smallest uncle
=)









mummy ordered two kinds of soup that day
this is the melon soup
they serves soup by per head
meaning per customer
i'm not too sure if they serves in larger servings though







the cereal prawns
talking about that
i totally heart my younger sister
despite the fact that she always *BULLY* me
hahaaha
she can be such a sweetie at times
mummy n i are the last few people to lay our hands on the prawns
sharing the same thoughts of not wanting to use our own hands
then my DEAREST SISTER actually peeled the prawns for me n mummy
w/o us even asking for it
=D
i believe that's the reason why i dote on her alot too
=)











long beans with shrimps
pretty normal
i think long beans taste pretty 'old' compared to french beans










kangkong with sambal
this is like a voted by all the children (us)
hahaha
but i felt the ones at thai accent is better
as this one aint that spicy
despite the fact that i cant really take spicy food
but kangkong with sambal chili is like
not spicy not nice what.
lol














beancurd





















i have no idea what do u call this in english
but it's freaking nice
layers of fats to be put into the mouth together with the meat
sounds a lil gross
but that's e way to enjoy the food
=)











went out to queensway shopping center on one random friday
and had dinner at the coffee shop
there was this stall
[MR AVOCADO]
*which apparently was pretty famous with the newspaper cuttings pasted over the stall*
that serves avocado juice
i aint no fan of that
n wanted to opt for something simpler
but then
i was introduced to this strawberry with soursop
n i totally fall in love with it
=)









miss *mynameishazel* is already nagging at me for her udates
but i'm so tied up at work that i'm already working OT for almost the whole week already la
=(
i havent been pampering myself these days la~
all these are so back dated
boo~


miss *jeanjean* is back from her trip too!
n she is oh-so-lovely to get me something
*wink*
wanted to meet her for dinner soon
but i've got 2 belated birthday dinners for my dearest sis n yang next week
thus we can only meet up the week after next oh!




p.s *i'll be working at SITEX (again) this year
this time for HP
just like the previous IT show
=)
but that means i'm burning my weekends at expo
n i'm missing my ballet on sunday
=(

the long awaited entry - Performance at Victoria Theatre =D




Venue - Victoria Theatre
Date - 09/11/08
Dancers - Samantha, Peili, Jaclyn, Cassandra, Laura, Jacqueline, Bernette, Christina, Julia n I



Miss McCully's dancers were asked to be the guest performers for the performance held at victoria theatre.
very honoured we are
definately




yesyes
i'm the girl in the middle in the above picture
i asked cindy why she guess that was me
she said:
the one nearest looks too fair to be u
-_______________-"








i suppose the day didnt start out well
despite rushing down from the school
julia n laura missed the chinese dance item's rehearsal
n not to mentioned
i think we were quite pissed off with the
"banging of our door"
and
"asking us to hurry up n get our ass up to the stage"
hahahahaa
okay okay
that sounds exaggerating
but girls who were there
should know very well what exactly happened
lol





from left:
christina (purple), laura (black), me (black), jacqueline (black), bernette (brown), julia (red), samantha (black), cassandra (maroon), peili (black), jaclyn (black)



and of course
that definately didnt manage to dampen our super high spirits
we were busy
camwhoring
i mean hardworkingly working out our steps at backstage
teeheehee
but that was all during the interval of the run through
which we got "nagged" by _________









the reason we had so much time to camwhore
was because the whole performance was on this singing group
who helds their annual performance
n for this year
we were invited as guest performers for 2 items
thus
we have so much time at the back stage
=)







(from left, cassandra, jacqueline, cassandra, jaclyn)



one of the lady actually ordered tao huey for all the performers involved in this concert
=)
how sweet of her seriously
not to forget,
there's another lady
who was the apple supplier of the day!




*e cast for the chinese dance
(from left: me, christina, julia, sam, bernette, laura)






i think we all looked like vietnamese wives can!!!
wahahahaha
this costume was passed down from my teacher's era can!!!
we bet the dancers then were all like damn tall
*p.s look at the amt of extra cloth we have at the feet =X


















i think miss mccully plans her outfit with us in mind
so we all look matching as her students
lol






































n as usual
i got my girls food so as they will not be hungry
so this time round
i got them donuts
(*refer to previous post)
from donut empire
got them after eating at one twenty six
where richard drove me to randomly get donuts from places nearest to east coast
hahahaha
wanted donut factory initially
cause i wanted to get julia her milkshake
but the timing was too rushed
=(




the collection of the donut girls
=D
*missed out peili as she was rushing off to the airport after the item*




















miss sunshine n i










laura aka miss tham n i











chiristina n i 









small jac n i







initially i wanted to wait for cass's video on the chinese item we did that day
but i think it'll take some time
so i better post up this entry befores it gets moudly in my draft entry
lol














































partly because this was a super backdated entry
that i can hardly remember what i wanted to blog about already
like they say
pictures paints a thousand words
so i shall let all the pictures do the talking
=D








after we finished our spanish item
we've got hell lots of time before the finale
thus
u can see tons of cranky pictures taken
=D






























not to forget
i have cass "wanting" to "PROPOSE" to me!
wahahahaha
*note: julia's expression in the back
lol
she was the one tt was "acting" to object the proposal
wahahahaha


before i end this entry
let me give a very good suggestions to days when the MRT train are very crowded





*not advisable for kids





 









*and adults too













*try it only if u are this good
















in this way
u can save so much more spaces!
lol
