Ritz & Balcony, Saturday, May 20, 2006
think i've put on another 2kg. know why? feasted at Ritz Carlton for brunch. Peiremo's lady boss's birthday was held there and it was a surprise party. the birthday song was played and we welcomed her in. she definitely was shocked yet happy to realise that her birthday was celebrated amongst so many people. after she cut the cake, the feasting began!there was all kinds of food ranging from breakfast cereals to omelettes to shark's fin soup, salmon, oyster and even lobster! obviously i took the good food...hehe...but honestly, the lobster meat was kinda tough...wasn't fantastic considering it to be lobster meat...
here's a glimsp on what was kinda going on...
this was the overall decor...thank goodness i managed to stay calm, considering that the ballons were placed all over the food!
this is the soup counter, shark's fin and tomatoe consume
this was where all the oysters, salmon, lobster, etc (raw food) were placed. the chef was even standing behind the counter prying open the oysters! freshness!well, i ate so much that i felt really unconfortable (yeah i know i'm a glut). we headed off to Marina Square to watch Over the Hedge (conbination of corny and kiddy) cos we knew The Davinci Code was sold out...i really wanna catch that movie but i guess it has to wait till next week...
there was quite a lot of happening at Marina Square. Xin Hui & Kelvin (Project Superstar) were there performing...they sang a few songs and that was about it. then later they had kids dancing to the grooves of R&B and even singing!
kids nowadays...during my time, we all had stage fright! much less sing and dance in front a crowd!

Fat Saturday, Sunday, May 07, 2006
went to Tanjong Pagar Park with Peiremo yesterday afternoon and had a romantic lunch : ) i brought tuna from home and he bought bread, we had tuna sandwiches at the park. sweet ; ]
after that, we walked to China Square for a cuppa. it was very nice & cosy there. good place for R&R.
we both had a coffee and shared a pear and almond tart. the tart was sweet so it goes very well with black coffee.
we met the 'kids' at Lau Pa Sat. had a few sticks of satay and chicken wings before Faizal arrived. He suggested going to Cafe Vienna for buffet dinner.
food was pretty alright. would give it 3 thumbs up for variety and taste. the boys were having a hard time keeping their voices down cos they are always so rowdy. they were whispering in low voices and even showing real good behaviour for once! haha...but as expected, they couldn't hold the 'fire' down. check this out...
maybe Osama's newphew dropped by for dinner and so did his right hand man...geez~
the 'kids' were actually tasting oysters for the first time and you should have seen how cute they were. the way the asked how it is suppose to be eaten and the way the gulped it down! haha...
they might have been noisy and all but we all had our fair share of laughter = D

Alex's 21st birthday = HAVOC!, Sunday, April 23, 2006
someone i know has turned to a man...HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!! = D
it has a chaotic birthday man.
well, i arrived at ard late 7pm and the food was ready. his family was ard and ya, had my manners of saying 'hi'. i obviously gorged myself in the food cos i was kinda hungry. hehe...
there were photo taking sessions but too bad i dun haf the pics with me cos they were all gross! i mean guys kissing guys and licking their lips! yucks! but hell, he didn't mind anyway = p
we sang the birthday song, cut the cake and hell we got dirty! we prepared flour and whipped cream to be thrown onto him. and the result...
Grace was a lot more worse than me man! she had flour all over! but at least she had extra clothes! this stupid Alex kept saying 'peace ah, peace...' and the next thing i knew, he smashed the chocolate cake right into my face! ARGH! i so wanted to kill him! my shirt and bottom were all slimmed with whipped cream and chocolate cake. oh i'm so gonna get him on my birthday man...knowing that he's dirty, he kept terrorizing the clean ones...
he kept on wanting to shake hands with them! "come on la, must shake hands with birthday boy ma" that folks, was his lame excuse. well, i guess he managed to escape the dirty hand shake! the next i knew, he came walking back
(trying to act sexy and all)well, Grace and i took a pic with him. showing off our so-very-sabotaged state
(thank goodness that boy didn't get sabotaged as well!)
(thank goodness that boy didn't get sabotaged as well!)basically, we all had fun. i mean we all turn 21 once in our lifes : )

cold fish, Sunday, April 16, 2006
are you that dumb as to not understand what i'm trying to say?can't you tell that i sound different?
why are you the least bothered?
cos if you are, then you are just contridicting all that you've said!
if i can try my best to understand you, why can't you do the same?
you've disappointed me and now i'm crushed...
sometimes i really really wish you would understand
but i know it's impossible...

Sungei Buloh, Saturday, April 15, 2006
here are a list of animals/insects. which one of them do you fancy?
a squirrel,
butterfly,
fly,
mudskipper or
a lizzy?if your answer to the above question is all or at least one, Sungei Buloh is a place for ya! if not, don't even go there cos there are tonnes of these creatures and blood sucking mosquitoes!
Peiremo and i decided to meet early in the morning at 9am at Kranji MRT to head off to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. we took bus 925 and had to walk some distance in as the bus does not go all the way in. my dear boy said that according to the website, it's a 10-15min walk from the bus stop. well, it DEFINITELY wasn't a 10-15min walk. it was more like a 20-25 min walk! we had to walk all the way in to the reserve! the heat and heavy vehicles speeding pass us was enough to kill me...
after much complaining, we finally arrived at our destination.

well, the walking didn't just end here, it got worse! we walked for 2 hrs braving the heat, two-winged insects (mosquitoes) and fatigue! i'll let the pictures do the talking...
if your someone not game for long walks or insects/animals, don't come here cos you'll definitely regret man!
but to be honest, it's a very nice venue to relax and remind ourselves what nature is in our ever bustling Singapore : )
