Take a leap of faith.

Happy leap year to y'all!

I managed to get off work on time to join N for a once in 4 years dinner at Raffles Place, after which he had to go back to work. :(

Had a quick dinner at The Rotisserie, love their fries but we couldn't bear to pile on the calories from 2 servings of those delish fries! So we ordered sides which were just substandard.

Crossed over to China square's Cold Stone Creamery to try the raspberry cheesecake ice cream. It's not too bad but N still prefers soft serve ice cream. That boy sticks to familiar food to the death. :\

Anyway, deals.sg has some deals on bangkok that seem like a good package since they nett prices. However, not too keen on the city tour and 4D3N is simply not enough!! RAH.

Planning my next trip to BKK, not an easy task! :p

NYE!

Hi guys! :)
I'm taking a quick break from editing pics, no prizes for guessing what's in the next entry on my blog! haha. Anyway, I'd better go back to doing up the preview pics for tmr's sneaks update for Monday's launch. *cues an emoticon for the epitome of stress.*

Shopping on the eve of NYE along Orchard - there were so many stores on sale, i was like a kid in a candy store, dashing in and out of high street label stores.

real upset cos my helper ruined my leather skirt by ironing it in high heat - now it's all crinkled and stiff, no longer soft and smooth. :(

 

Fast forward to dinner, we had DTF at Somerset313 and boy, was it crowded at that time cos the working crowd started to stream into town during dinner time.

N's stealing glances at other people's food as usual. Don't blame him cos we were famished after shopping the entire day and then having to wait almost an hour for a seat in the restaurant.

Our usual fare of XLBs, vege & shrimp dumplings & yam dumplings to top it off with dessert.

Getting rdy for NYE's countdown!
Did OFTDs of a pleated midi for Jaynelles and it was fab!

P-p-p-poker face. 

We played until someone went bankrupt and it wasn't me, though I was twice close to being bankrupt!

 Yearly tradition stays alive. Thanks to the Yongs for organising this annual affair! Put your hands glasses in the air.

2012 greetings passed all around the room. And we all wished each other a blessed year ahead.

More food.

Love the lace dress I got from Dotti back in Melb! I miss melb shopping! (And no, I didn't get the dress on the second trip when I was with you, Ah Yi! Got it on exchange and worth every cent.)

Gotta go back to edittng soon!

Can't wait to update with piccas.

Restaurant Ten & everything random

Belated Mothers' Day Celebration at Restaurant Ten at Pervis Street, near Odeon Towers/Bugis area.

It feels like a fine dining experience in Chinese Cuisine, thanks to Uncle Ken for taking us there. :)

Red wine and sweetened mangoes for starters.

Egg white and some crispy flakes.

Nice cod fish, toooo littleeeee.

The other table had this fatty fatty meat, we had...

THISSSS!

Fried something, shrimp, was it? Omg, I'm really bad at doing food reviews.

Ah Yi and Uncle Ken!

My cousin and brother were dressed in similar shirts from different labels, Ben Sherman and Fred Parry. lol!

Small portions of vege.

We were hardly eating much so we spent most of our time camwhoring! :)

Posted this cos Ah Yi looks very very happy here.

As per Ah Yi, the 3 beauties! hahaha. So bhb. I've turned pinkish due to the wine.

In my very honest opinion, the food is quite ex and the portion is microscopically small. If you're a foodie looking for something to fill your stomach, do prepare some place for dessert after the meal. :)

And that's what we did. (At least we had some kind of a backup plan.)

We took the celebration to another location, my ah yi's place!

Oatmeal cake that tasted like cheesecake, awesomely done with a generous portion of strawberries!

Uncle Albert takes plenty of pics. PLENTY.

See what I mean... (I tried to reduce the number of pics as much as possible)

Random snipshots of my life over the past week. :)

Awesome leopard flats I bought from urbanog some time ago. Only if it were half a size bigger.

Some cupcake my mum brought back from work.

A trip to the Toofdoctor at Pinnacle@Duxton!

Surprisingly formal despite TGIF!

Late night fish soup before Kungfu Panda 2 at West Mall.

Kungfu Panda 2 is a pretty short movie, but it's quite fun and lighthearted to watch.

Ai-Yu jelly with lime juice.

Lemon with aloe vera, it was alr very sour but N added in more lime from my jelly!

Hardcore JW Black label.

OFTD:

Knotted casual slouch top from BKK, Aeropostale light denim shorts, Black crystal drape necklace from Jingleyou.lj

Wanted to stock up on snacks at Marks & Spencer for the audit team but the jam puffs were OOS. :(

Alright, work starts tomorrow again.
We all look forward to the day we can live our dreams and have passion for what we're doing. Till then, life goes on.

Toodles y'all! Have a great week ahead! :)
