So sorry... Don't really have the time to update my blog, and post all the photos taken every time we go out... But today got time HA HA!

Met up with Ber Ber, Jane & Steve at City Hall. Then, we go walk walk about, with no place in mind, we settled our dinner at the Suntec City Convention Centre's Food Court.

Taken while Steve & Jane go buy their food... hee hee...

Seafood & Kimchi soup (With Rice)

Hakkai Fried Toufu

Fried Prawn Noodles

Kimchi Soup (With Rice)

While devouring our delicious dinner, we suggested to go the KTV at Bugis, Top One KTV. Because membership is only $23.40, and you get to sing for max. 5 hours, what's more?! Free flow of drinks!!!! That is seriously MADNESS!

So... without delaying much, we immediately booked a room and "flew" over...

Now, why is there SO much hype about this [TOP ONE KTV]? Besides very reasonable rates, free flow of drinks, each floor has a different theme, so customers will only know what room they are getting when they begin the service. From Futuristic, to Disco to Romantic... You name it, they have it...



Really had a great time singing, i think there were more pranks, jokes and laughters than actual singing haha!! We should do this again...

Went supper with Ber Ber last friday at East Coast. We went back to the Hong Kong Cafe at East Coast. And this time round, the Air-con was there! GOSH! The first time we went there with Ber, Jane & Sally, the Air-con was malfunctioning, so the whole place quite stuffy...

By now, you should realised that me and Ber like to visit different common restaurants and review their food, so this time is no exception as well...

Golden Mushroom Fries: Tastes great the first few pieces. After a few more additional pieces, the saltiness and oiliness starts to take over. But lucky, there were some vegetables at the base of this dish to absorb some of that extra oil... Rate: 3 of 5

Fried Tofu: Look & smell will send it very high on the ratings. But "looks can be deceiving". The wonderful taste of lightly fried tofu was totally ruined by the sauce and ground peanuts. The sauce was simply too salty. A dish that fell from grace due to taste. Rate: 1 of 5.

Singapore-style fried bee hoon (Requested for Vegetarian-style): Smell & presentation has given it a head start. But, it was just too salty. I only had a few mouths, I put it aside. (Ok! I know it was wasteful, but it was just too salty. Every mouth I take, I have to drink a lot of water... Might as well drink only water...) Rate: 2 of 5.

Mushroom tom yum soup (Requested for vegetarian-styled): Arguably, the BEST dish of that night. No doubt about it! Rate: 3.5 of 5

Fresh mango ice blended with fresh fruits (Queen version): Seriously, without those fresh fruits, I can get better tasting mango ice blended at [Sweet Talk]. Rate: 2 of 5

Our supper at Wang Xing Hong Kong Cafe (East Coast branch), was heavily "bugged" with either too much salt or too much oil. A totally different experience...

Last Saturday, went to Ber Ber's friend's 21 birthday celebration party at Punggol Marina Country Club. Met up with Ber Ber first at Tampines, then we made our way to Punggol, because we are meeting Jane & Sally there.

But luckily, Sally arrived before we missed the last free shuttle bus *Phew*

A very *ulu* place, very quiet, but a lot of people there for the seafood and prawn fishing!!! It doesn't feel like a country club, because people wear singles, shorts and slippers there. *Faint* It is a country club, and people are wearing such attires... But, I think the Management is also partially at fault. They did not enforce any dress attire, so naturally people won't give a darn about their dress codes...



We didn't take any photos at her friend's party, because it didn't seem like a party at all. More like "You do your things, I do my things.". Seriously speaking, it is no easy feat to organise an event. Because you will be inviting many of your friends, from all walks of lives, and all your friends don't know a shit about each other. Naturally, the ambiance will be a bit awkward, so it will take the Host very big effort to bring everyone together and make sure everyone is interacting with everyone...

Last Monday evening, meet up with Ber Ber after she finish work, go walk walk at City Hall around. Met up with Jane & Sally, and went for a bit of dinner at Wang Xing Hong Kong cafe at Marina Square.

LOTSA PHOTOS

FINALLY! I got time to upload all the photos me and Ber have taken for the past few days...

The renovation at my workplace has seriously drained quite a lot of energy out of me. Almost everyday wake up at 7:30am, reach office at 9:00am, then immediately start shifting things here and there, and go off at around 7:30pm... From dry to wet (With sweat), then dry again and wet again... but lucky I brought shirts to change before I leave, and smelling nice ha ha ha!!

01 05 08 - Labour Day

Met up with Ber ber first then went to meet up with Jane & Steve at City Hall. We were all famished... We quickly pulled over at Esplanade's Via Mar, a Bar/restaurant.

Brief intro: It is a Spanish Bar/Restaurant. Operates from 11am to 11pm. Since it is a Mediterranean -themed Restaurant, be prepared to be showered with food which taste quite raw and original. And not forgetting big servings...

we went in around 8:30pm. Surprisingly, the area was not packed at all... When we went in, there were only 2 tables occupied, minus us... Because of the minus in crowd, we could really enjoy our meal in serenity and accompanied by Latin music in the background... Perfect. (Music played in the background at that time was Legendary Latin Male Singer, Julio Iglesias)

English Breakfast Tea (Just Lipton tea -.-|||)

Tortilla a la Espanola. It's the normal Tortilla Sauce, but served without the chips. Nice & light

Papas Trituradas (Mashed Potato) Nice!!! No sugar. No butter. Only good old Potato.

Caracoles Cocidos Al Hor (Snails...)

Gazpacho (Egg omelette with potato) NICE NICE NICE!!!

Pasta Gambas (A.K.A Western Mee Goreng) Jane say this is superb! If you are a Chilli-lover, this is one dish you HAVE to try...

Pasta Del Ajo (Pasta with vege & herbs minus garlic & onion)
Pure Divine! Without the overpowering smell & taste of garlic & onion, the real flavour of each ingredient in this dish, just blended so well with each other... Try it! (Without Onion & garlic...)

Crayfish Pasta. If you are a big eater, this is THE dish for you... 3 medium-sized crayfishes & pasta in tomato sauce. Simply splendid!

Meet up with Ber Ber after I finished work. We went down to Suntec City's Secret Recipe for our dinner.

Pumpkin Soup. The one at Vivo City is better, but this one tasted better because it was hotter.

Noodle in Tom Yum Chicken. Ber Ber say that this one is only so-so. Go ThaiExpress better...

Mashed Potato. Taste like KFC. Didn't touch it after 3 mouths...

Oriental Style Soba. This one is nice! Very light. Lotsa vege. Great dish for those on diet.

Frosty Lemon Tea. Quite nice.

After we finished our meal at Secret Recipe, we went off to meet up with Sally & Jane. Then, we set off to look for a present for Ber Ber's friend's birthday, which is next Saturday... After that, we went to Hong Kong Cafe, cause Jane & sally haven't had their dinner, then we went back... Cause tomorrow need to work...

Will update soon!!!

Sorry guys...Been very busy recently with my Company's Renovation job.

I will taken photos of my renovated Company. It's SO COOL!

Firstly, they will convert my Sales area into a Guest-waiting area, which is Shophouse-style. Still short of final touches ha ha!

Then, they removed the fake ceiling (Now it's SO HIGH!) and they painted my WHOLE company white... I LOVE IT!

After which, they converted the ceiling above my Sales area & my boss's room into a Storage Room. It was the first to be done, and It's SUPER BIG!

My Colleague also brought hanging lights that looked like those machines used by hair Salons to steam your hair and also a customized lamp post lights!!! OMG!!!

Finally, the rear area of my Company, with a full wall mirror will be converted to the new Sales Area. They will build a loft floor, storage below the floor. There will be a stair, a sliding door and a mini-pantry! SO NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE!

And I can't wait for my new sales area ha ha ha ha!

I will post the photos real SOON! Just you wait ha!

OH! And i will post the photos me and Ber took last Sunday ;) i bought a new white leather shoe from Pedro and dirt cheap polo t-shirts... Will post those soon as well ;)

Cycling at East Coast

Yo! Went cycling with Ber Ber last Sunday at East Coast. Hardly get to go out with her on a Sunday, so it was so so so precious! Met up with her at 5:30pm, then we took a bus down to East Coast.

There were so many people! And also a lot of people cycling and roller blading... We rented a 2-person bicycle ha ha! It's been a long time since I had a pillar rider, so initially, I took a while to get use to it...

We slowly cycled from Marine Cove to the big Hawker Center next to Ski 360... There were too many people, so we "da bao" and sat at one of the benches. It was MUCH MUCH MUCH better lor... No smoke, no heat, got sea breeze, quieter, and most importantly, no one will look over your shoulders while you are eating, as if saying: "CAN YOU EAT FASTER?! WE NEED A SEAT..." We totally enjoyed our meal ha ha!

Then, we continued to cycle from one end of East Coast to the other end of East Coast... But why Mr. Time always fly by so fast... In a blink of an eye, 2 hours over liao... Have to return the bike... It was quite tiring but it was really very sweet... Ber Ber was always just behind me, and I am in front riding... Ha ha ha!!!

I wanna do this again...
