I miss the days in Sec2/6... ...

Met up wif yichun on fri nite and we settled dinner @ bishan cafe cartel becoz of the "free-flow-bagguets" and UOB-credit cards 10% off promotion...hee! Can't blame us for being so "auntie". Considering the economic crisis we are facing now, we feel it's more practical to turn to budget eating places where the food is value for money!
As usual, we eat like nobody's business and no image at all. We help ourselves with the free-flow of bagguets..haha! We eat, chat, joke, talk nonsense...so freely like small kids. Of course we also complained about ridiculous incidents tat took place at our work places. Complain = destress!
As we foot the bill and was about to leave the place after my last sip of plain water, yichun spotted yit hann who walked passed us! She called to verify if tat was him and yup, it's him! Yeah...i'm so happy coz it was like half or almost a year since we last met his musical! So happy we finally can catch up with each other. He joined us for a chat before we left as the shops were closing. I'm glad that he is doing fine and getting on well except tat he sounded pessimistic. We have aged and changed. We have matured. We have changed in our perceptions and expectations in life. It's good as it shows tat we have grown up, moved on and learnt... ...
We also chatted about the days in sec 2/6. We doubtlessly agreeded tat that was the most enjoyable class we ever had, be it the classmates, teachers and environment! How i wish i can go back to those school days... ...

My longed weekend is gone! =(

It's been an extremely busy and tiring week for all of us in the dept except for "someone" who enjoys having lunch out of the company and slack his way day-dreaming! Dun wanna mention names coz it's NOT worth mentioning anyway!

Becoz a customer from overseas was here for their "taste-improving" project for their products, I was being assigned to this stage of the project. Being extremely stressed becoz of the time constraint, I was easily agitated for the whole week. My nightmare came when I was asked to join them for lunch-out. Argh~! I hate all these "entertaining". My food din get digested till the next day. So you can see how depressed I was when I have to spend time eating with them while in my mind I was worrying about completing my task for the day. Manz...if i have the choice, I would nv want to eat wif director P ever after! He's such a "da nan ren", stating alot of logics and forcing me to eat food i dun like..argh~! Nightmare~! But still, I think he makes a good father.

Alot happened during the week but i'm too lazy to blog it down. Forget it, dun wanna spoil my day!

Weekend is finally here yet gone! Yesterday was burned off with me and mum going chinatown OG checking out coldwear coz we are going Korea this coming Dec!! =D Oh manz...it was tiring walking here and there. We even went to bugis OG after tat to check out for more designs. How can we afford to let our stomach go empty rite..especially when i'm wif mum! Mum treated me to hawker food at Chinatown. We had chicken curry mee, nasi lemak, my fav Gingko nuts with beancurd skins, fruits rojak and sugar cane water. After so many weeks of luxury food, having simple food at hawker centers is simply as enjoyable! Thanks mum! Finally, we met up wif sis at orchard john little and decided to just buy the down jackets there. Great deals! Yeah yeah~!
Some unhappy incident took place when on the way home but i shall not elaborate further as it concerns other parties. All i can say is that it takes alot of effort to maintain a relationship. A 5 to 7 yrs relationship does not mean stability. It will also break over some nitty-gritty incident. This incident had not only affected my mood, but also deepened my relunctance to commit to a relationship or even marriage. It's simply too complicated and tiring. I never believe in "ever-lasting" love... ...

Unhappy things aside, I jus have the urge to post some pics taken at Karen's and Tat Zhun's bday gatherings! Oooyeah...it's pics, pics and PICS...!!

Group photo at Excelsior Hotel Coleman Cafe (Tunch Buffet)...


... ... feeling tired and thirsty, we settled down at Gelere Cafe for some drinks, ice creams and waffles ... ...





... ... poor bday boy Tat Zhun was not spared by Si Yuen ... ...

shld be thankful it's not some yucky thing lo!

HooRay~! All my friends are already 21 years old~! It's time to visit the casino...wahaha~! =X Ok...stop my nonsense. Tomorow's monday again...so many things to complete...haiz! Shall be back for updates again...bye~! =P

Dinner @ Billy Bombers on 28 Sep 2008

Oh yeah~! I still remember it was a very long day for me and yichun on 28 sep 08 (sun) but we enjoyed ourselves as it was very relaxing far away from work~! =)

I had a mission on that day which was to represent my frens to shop for karen's bday pressie on 3Oct08 lo! Other than perfumes and cosmetics products, i have no idea wat to buy for her manz! But i dun want to buy those products for her again...i wanna buy something diff from her past bday pressies. So after KLunch @ amk, chun and me went to bugis to pray at the Guan Yin Temple. I drew a lot to ask if I should leave my company..well seems like the ans was to stay..haha~! Well...i shall leave it to fate ba.

We shopped around at parco bugis mall...haha...bought a few clothes for myself...i mean in the process of hunting for karen's bday pressie, I spotted some clothes that suits me...hey hey! So when I realised time was running short as it was almost 8pm~! I decided to seriously shop for the present. Lucky chun was there to help me try the sizes. Finally, when i was in my most desperate state, I came across a shop that sells lovely sweet long tops which is very "karen-style". After trying out the sizes for the $49.90 one, I wanna buy another top for her since it costs only $29.90. But when every thing has been finalised and I was about to pay, the sales person told me it's 92 after 15% discount~! Wah lao eh...how can tat be?! Then she told me the clothes were priced at $49.90 and $59.90 respectively. She explained that someone had accidentally hanged the wrong price tag on the hanger. Wat the shit man! I requested her to void it but she say can't. Coz I was not in very good mood and din want delay chun's time, I decided to just pay lo. Wah lao..i feel as if i have been conned manz~! Damn pissed off! I feel abit pai seh that my other frens have to pay more than expected. My apologies gals!

Forget about the stupid incident! Luckily, I get to eat delicious food which cheered me up. Becoz chun has a $15 off Billy Bomber voucher with min $30 purchased, we decided to dine at that place at Parco Bugis Junction B1. Yeah yeah~! Show you the food we ordered ... ...

... ... for starters, we had my favourite nachos with chicken bits and pickles ... ... i like the sauces, very very delicious. Matches so well with the nachos chips!!



... ... We had cravings for some fried finger foods, we had chicken baffloes wings ... ... ooo~! Very well marinated, so crispy outside and tender inside. The vegetables so fresh and crunchy. They have very good selection for sauces! Perfect combination with the chicken wings!


... ... Can't remember the full name. I think it's Chicken Snail and Sausage. According to the waitress, the "Chicken Snail" supposed to be slightly spicy but we taste a stinge of spiciness at all. The huge sausage has cheese fillings which "oozes" out when I tried to slice it. Both the chicken snail and sausage tastes normal to me but it's still considered delicious, especially when it's served on a hot plate. It keeps the food hot for a longer time. Saw the mash potatoes at the side? It has a very smooth texture. The corn is not the normal ones you purchased at NTUC, it's softer and sweeter than normal ones. I like it very much!

... ... Last but not least, it's dessert time~! We had waffle topped with Ben & Jerry banana flavour ice cream and caramel-chocolate sauce! Ooo....wonderful~!! Thumbs up for the ice cream!

Le Cafe Confectionery & Pastry: Bean Curd Tarts

Hi all! I'm back again to update on some special foods i have eaten recently! =D Just in case i forget the taste, let me blog it down ... ...

Have u ever tried or heard of the famous "Bean Curd Tarts" before? Special isn't it? Through some friend's recommendations, my sis went to Le Cafe Confectionery & Pastry located at 264 Middle Rd (refer to the yellow card below for the full address).

My sis purchased the "Bean Curd Tarts". Let me show you the lovely tarts ... ...


... ... the tarts are very nicely pack in the box with a layer of plastic moulds to hold the tarts in place so that they do not "knock each other" in the box. Purhaps the owner wants to ensure that his customer gets to eat the tarts not only in their best taste, but also in their best appeal! ... ... let's have a closer look at the tarts ... ...



As the name suggests, the fillings of this tart is made up of bean curd. Though the fillings is yellow in colour, I do not think that egg is added to it coz there's no "eggy" note when I took a stiff of it and taste it in mouth. I guess the chef might have added custard powder to give the yellow appearance so as to make it more appealing. Because the filling is made up of bean curd, when I open the box, the fragrance of fresh bean curd smell rushes out. Ooo~! Very nice aroma! I personally likes bean curd alot. Unlike traditional HK-style egg tarts which crusts are flaky and falls apart easily, the crust of this tart is firm like cookies. When I took a bite of it, I was a little disappointed with the filling as it does not taste sweet at all. However, I like the crust alot as it tastes very buttery like butter cookies, and it has the right sweetness. Given that the crust is sweet, I shall not be particular with the "sweet-less" fillings! =)

The Bean Curd Tarts are selling at $1 each and there must be a minimum purchase of 8. My sis told me that Le Cafe Confectionery & Pastry also sells other items which can be found in their website: http://www.lecafe.com.sg/. Do check them out if you are someone who likes sweet delicacies! AND remember to let me know how their other items taste like after you have tried~! =D
