Xmas dinner

Totally busy and busy day today.  Nothing can described more than this word "busy".

We had our company's xmas dinner tonight at Bacchanalia @ Coleman Street.  Our colleagues really dressed up to meet the them "Oscars".  Few our us were so stressed and felt out of place.  Dared not go with them.  Hahaha.

In fact, we worked till very late and went there just in time for the food.  No time to mingle around.  I did not really have chance to slowly taste and digest the food.  I was busy on the phone with work and just swallowed every month.  The waiter even wanted to clear my plate with almost full piece of salmon.  

The food was good overall and it was an expensive meal.  Our company booked the whole restaurant tonight for this event.  Great work for my colleagues who spent time organising this event.  :)

Eat Shop Chat

Day of relaxation.  Day trip to Changi Airport.

This afternoon, met up with the gals at Changi Airport T3.  We had our lunch at Dian Xiao Er and chit chat while eating.

After lunch, we went to the Travel store and I bought a jacket which is very worth the money.  There was a 20% disc and with Changi reward card, additional 2 x 7% gst waived.

Had tea time at TCC with cakes and drinks.  Chit chatted and plan for our next year trip.  We were so excited on the trip and how I wish the dates are nearer soon.  Sat there for a couple of hours and as there seemed to have queue forming up at dinner time, we decided to proceed with our dinner.

Chosen Fish & Co earlier and we proceeded with our plan.  Ordered the food and ate happily.

Spent quite some $$$ today on clothing and titbits.  :P

Ramen

This afternoon, we felt like pampering ourselves when Ah Fen asked if we wanted to have lunch at Marina Square.  It is just one mrt station away.  Its Friday and we decided to pamper ourselves with good lunch.

We had a few choices and finally decided to try the ramen that my colleague introduced us at Parco Millenium.

Name of restaurant is Ramen King.  Not too crowded as it was already 1.30pm and ordered our choice.  I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen.  The restaurant served free flow of bean sprouts.  Hmmm.  nice ramen.

Back in office at almost 3pm and continued to work hard.  Not too bad that I closed 6 deals today.  Actually was 5 deals + 1 closed yesterday.

Left office in a hurry as running late for our movie.  We need to travel to Bishan for 9pm show.  We left office at about 8.15pm.  Luckily the train ride was quite fast and we reached at about 8.50pm.  Bought Mcdonald nuggets for dinner to be ate in the theater.  My wisdom tooth giving me problem and I could not open my mouth too big as it is painful.  Buns too thick for me to bite liao.

Watched "About Time".  It was a very nice story.  I was interrupted with answering to new enq by email and sms.  Though missed out a bit but still able to understand the story of the movie.

At first, did not think that the actor is handsome but after a while, he looks quite good looking lei.  Hahaha.

I reached home quite early as compared to watching movie at VivoCity.  However, we still prefer the theaters there as they are with bigger screens and the elevation are better.

Nice dinner

This morning, the aircon contractor came to diagnose what really happened on the leak of my aircon unit.  However, after some checks, the reason still unknown.  No choice but to monitor again.

A little bit good news is there wasn't any leak after I switched off the power.  Monitored for about 5 hrs.  It looks ok.  Hopefully the problem resolved by itself.

I took 4 hrs to do my housework today.  Double my usual time as I washed my bedsheets and washed toilets today too.  Hence more time needed.

Went to NEX for dinner with my parents, sis and bro.  We went to Bibigo Hot Stone restaurant.  My bro wanted to try and we ok too.  Glad that we tried as the food was quite good.  Looks healthy too.  It is restaurant serving Korean food.

After that, we went to Ikea to buy some boxes and study chair for my sis.  Headed home after that.

Feeling rather tired....

Dinner:

Day full of good food

Today, we continued to delivery mooncakes but could only sent to 3 companies due to lack of time.  Left office quite late at 12.15pm and did one delivery before meeting our customer at Bugis Junction.

We had lunch at Shokudo Japanese Coffee House.  The food was very nice and I will go again.  I ordered the grilled chicken chop with Wasabi mayo.  My colleague ordered Mentai scallops pasta.  Our customer ordered beef udon.  Side dishes were unagi pizza, garden salad (real nice) and salmon maki.  Yummy.

Evening, I met up with 小珠 for dinner at PS.  I was very late and so paisei.  I reached office at 5pm and busy with the enq.  Today quite a lot and with other misc things to settle, time passed very fast.

Had dinner at Itacho Sushi.  We ordered the 2 pax set and they were nice too.  Just that we were stressed by the limited table space and had to clear the food timely in order for another dish to be served.  Haha.

Good food = good day

Movies finally

This afternoon, we met up with 小珠, Ah Thin and One watch for lunch.  Ah Ching recommended one restaurant that is cozy, nice food and reasonable prices.  Its near our office.  I ordered the chicken chop and it was very nice.  The set that comes with drink and main course is just about $10. Nice interior decorations too.

Finally today I can watch movie liao.  Stopped for almost 3 weeks.  I asked Ah Cheng to help me up with new enq that came in late.  Luckily not too many and only one.  At least not so pai sei.

We watched "The Mortal Instruments : City of Bones".  It was very nice but some parts really scary with the sound effects.  I like Jace.  Very cool guy.  Nice storyline and it makes me feel so relax today.  :)

Dinner at The Star Vista

This evening, we decided to skip movie as the timings were not good.  It was either too early or too late.  Therefore, we will just meet for dinner.

Originally, we intended to find a place at HarbourFront which is our usual meeting place.  However, we changed to The Star Vista so that Ah Thin can join us for dessert time.

I took train direct for Nicoll Highway station to Buona Vista.  Zoomed out from office at 6.27pm and reached The Star Vista at 7.20pm.  Rather smooth travelling and I managed to get a seat from Mountbatten.  At least no need to stand all the way.

小珠 queued for a table first at Watami and just nice when I reached, we can order the food.  As usual, we ordered the few dishes we always ordered.  The food tasted good and we enjoyed the food while chit chatting.  Ah Thin joined us at around 8.30pm and we had desserts at Black Ball.  I was craving for it as there is no chance for me to try as usually the shop was very packed.  Even at the Bugis+ branch, it is always very packed.

We chit chatted until 10.30pm and went home.

I am happy today as this weekend will be more relax.  Not too much work to follow up.  :)

Sister's house final inspection

My sister is now in Hong Kong hence she needs our help to do the final inspection of her house.  I stayed at Pasir Ris home last night and went back home with my parents this afternoon.

Met up with my aunt at 2.30pm.  My dad's first time to see the unit and after viewing, he said ok.  Anyway no option for him to say no. Hee hee...

However, the house yet to be cleared.  The owner said it will be moved away by tomorrow am.  Hence my uncle will help us to take a look at the status by tomorrow noon time before my aunt does the completion of deal at 3.30pm.

Went to NEX as my elder sister needed to redeem her voucher at Isetan.  She used the voucher to buy the mop+pail that I recommended.  She saved $10.

My brother-in-law drove us to Oasis Taiwan Porridge at Toa Payoh.  This restaurant moved from Kallang to this location.  We enjoyed the dishes.  Very home cooked style.  However, it was not cheap.  We spent $191 for 6 pax.

So fast... its Monday tomolo.

Father's day celebration

This afternoon, my aunties and cousin came to visit my dad.  They heard about his injury on his finger and made a trip to my parents house.  Chit chatted with my cousin and her husband.  Nice to catch up with her.

We left house at about 5.15pm for Turf City.  Booked a table at Tunglok XiHe Peking Duck restaurant for 6.30pm.  Reached there early and glad that it was not too crowded yet.  We ordered the Peking duck during reservation time.  Otherwise, have to wait for at least 50 mins for ad hoc ordering.

The serving was fast but till the last 2 dishes, it slowed down and we had to remind the staff.  Too crowded and they short of staff.  Lucky we still be able to enjoy good services for the first half of our dining session.  :P

The food was good and the captain introduced us this set which was more economical (compared to the father's day menu).  It was a set for 8 pax.  We had 7 pax and we finished almost all.  Only tabao noodles back for my brother.

Nice tea break

Went to meet my sister and parents at Balestier at 9.30am.  Super tired to wake up so early.  Some more, I still had to sweep and mop the floor.

We took about 1 1/2 hrs to select the tiles.  So many designs and we chose those not so fanciful and easy to maintain ones.  After that, we went to nearby to have our lunch.

Took bus and train to Orchard as I need to redeem vouchers from Isetan.  There is 2 days special sale which members can entitled to 10% cash rebates in vouchers form.  I decided to take a look at J West shoe and managed to find the pair that I like.  Bought brown previously and now bought the black one.  Also bought one pair of comfort shoe for my mum.  Had 15% disc (same as J West outlet as I am member) but I had additional rebates for being member and also to pay by HSBC card.  I received $35 vouchers.  Not bad lah.

Next, we went to walk around Takashimaya.  Did not buy anything and decided to go for tea break.  We queued for Paul, Maison De Qualite @ Ngee Ann City.  My dad never try before hence let him try today.

We queued for about 30mins.  I had cafe mocha for a try.  No stomachache till back home but... felt a bit want to vomit.  Conclusion is : I really cannot drink coffee!

My dad said the cakes and tarts were really nice.

Nice food

This afternoon, we had lunch at Jones The Grocer @ Mandarin Gallery.  We meeting a vendor at 1.30pm for coffee there and since we were running late, we decided to have quick lunch there.  Quite a nice place and the food was rather nice.  I ordered Club sandwiches.  The cakes there were nice too.  We ordered 4 pcs to share among 5 of us.

Was not too busy today but left office at 9.15pm.  I was waiting for my colleague and in the end, Ah Yong can send me home as she was going home direct instead of going to her parents house.

Ate bread for dinner tonight.  Ah Fen bought for us but since I was too full in office, I decided to ta bao back home to eat.
