shopping. dim sum eating with sweets





met my sis as i told her i wanted to bring her the try the eggy egg tarts at marina =)









after a short shopping craze at haji
we headed down to raffles shopping center
as i wanted to pop by n say hi to kristal darling
n to see if work was fine for  her =)



my lovely lil one was craving for ochacha
n she keep saying
'Ochacha Ochacha Ochacha"
-.-"










it was some japanese green tea thingy la
that i totally does not appreciates









a high waist black belt
n a pair of white with black velvet open toe heels
all at haji lane within that half an hour
shopping just seems to be an all girls forte










the unique thing abt this japanese green tea shop is
they dont just boil green tea like those bubble tea or canned drinks
they actually grind the tea leaves up
all done manually
tt explains y they are selling near 5 bucks for a small glass of green tea










the powdered green tea is then pour into a shaker
(the ones tt we see when mixing the bubble tea)
then the mixture is poured back into the bowl
then into the glass of ice









the gal who doesnt give a damn abt giving 'face' to the sister
when i met her at eunos
i was greeted with a pinch on my nose
for making her wait for me
what a lovely lil one i have










it was a day to accompany my sis to get her fren a bday gift
n we managed to did some very short, swift n effective shopping at marina

i was told by the manager that they do not serves egg tarts
as the main chef has left
then i said
"i came here for the egg tarts n u're telling me u dont have them"
*note - i was saying it in a real nice tone alright!
then the super nice manager went into the kitchen n check for me
in the end,
the assistant chef agreeded to do for us

although i felt the one done by the main chef was better
but i should be real thankful that they kitchen bothers to do just for us la!

i swear she gonna bang my head against the wall if she sees this
haha!
we were talking abt how it looks like a guy's leg, i mean the pants

my sis whipped out the camera, tryin to take revenge
n while doing so
she claims she saw this SUPER-BELINDA-LOOKALIKE view of me
but she says i moved too fast
thus she missed it

met lionel at marina for lunch







6 Raffles Boulevard
#02-05/06 Marina Square


Operating Hours:
Daily: 11.30am - 10.30pm


Tel: 6336 6696






















the setting
it seems like a rather well-known place
because the time we went there
it's ard 3
n at this kind of timing
most of the seats behind us are occupied
late lunch, or high tea?
haha!


















Fried prawn Dumplings with salad sauce




serves with prawn salad
very crisp on the outside
n the prawns are very fresh
















Steamed Prawn dumplings





not one of the best i've eaten so far
the skin was not very smooth, and can be thiner
but the sweetness of the prawns linger in the mouth









Steamed Chives Dumplings




not too bad!
if u hate chives, i recommend u skip this
as u can see, it is filled up with chives
but the amazing thing was u hardly taste the veggy-fied taste!
















Steamed "xiao long bao"





i think the ones at ding tai feng is better =)
i thought i seems to taste the meaty taste, which i dont really fancy
















Steamed BBQ pork bun






how can one not eat such traditional food at a dim sum place
the simpler it is
the harder it is to perfect it!
just one word
awesome =)


















Steamed "Siew Mai" w/mushroom





i aint siew mai fan
but i think there's are good
the wanton skin is not made very sticky
n the filling was made with generous number of prawns compared to meat!












Rice noodle w/shripms






one of my must eat!
this place sure didnt disappoint me





















Baked Mini egg tarts




i swear it melts in your mouth
it is so soft that i gently press the egg tarts
n u can see the cracklines
if u love eggy egg tarts
u will bound to beg for more here!




















the lunch date - lionel









25-year-old Wes was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut. Until he met a woman named Fox. After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad's death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself. With wickedly brilliant tutors--including the Fraternity's enigmatic leader, Sloan--Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny.



i give this show 4.5/5
actually 4 la
let me explain
the nerdy accountant shut us up for y he was given this role when he actually strips
oh god! i like his body la
teeheehee
that's y they earn another 0.5
i could have given it 5/5
but because angelina jolie died =(
if im the director
i would make the nerdy accountant do his bullet-curve-stunt to shot the bullet away from angelina jolie
so that she dont have to die
n
she got a sexy back, plus butt!
wahahaha!
catch it, the story line
i give it full marks









headed to amk - jubilee's bubble tea hut
as we're too full to have dinner after the lunch
n we didnt realise we've actually spent nearly 3 hours there!


















yest's ballet class was freakingly crowded
totally number of students : 40

n we became very aware of one another
as we're standing so close together
it's like we keep looking at the mirror
so that i will not kick his hands
n he will not kick me
but it was nice to see my grade 8(s)

went night jogging on monday
there's this "uncle"
wearing tee shirt, berms n slippers
strapped on a waist pouch seating at the benches
then i started running
n he started running too
i dont believe he came there to jog in such "jogging attire" la!
half a round, he stopped n had no stamina
then i did my second round
when i jogged past him
he will start to jog also
but he will still stopped halfway panting
then i think he gave up, sat on the benches
after 5 round
i went to do my sit ups
n he "moved" from the benches
the where i was doing my sit up
n he was like sitting there staring at me
wtf~
then another guy came over
so the "uncle" moved his butt back to the benches
thank god
