SIP




So the list of SIP companies are out!
I'm quite lost, there are many to choose from so I don't really know what I want. Gee, should I venture into the events industry? But I have little experience in that.
I feel like going into the Hotel line and there are many to choose from as well.
So hmm...
F&B?
Oh man, so many. :-S





Lately I've been feeling insecure...

MBS & School

Konbawa!

Ok abit act cute. Anyway yep, so last Friday, before school started, I had the luxury of staying at MBS hotel!
Yep, my aunt has got a room there and so she invited me to join her on her little getaway-but-still-in-Singapore!

I didn't take much pictures, but I did get some shots of the famous view from the bridge to MBS. And of course the view from the room. Taken with iphone but good enough for me! Here you go! :D

My aunt called these "nehpok"s ahahahha



We had dinner at Tony Roma's which is a famous place for ribs. I'm not a fan of ribs but I love their steak!
Their french onion soup was a little too salty but the onion loaf was dope! :-bd

We went shopping around Marina Sq and caught Battleship. Loved the movie. I thought it's weird that Rihanna should appear in such movies but I was wrong! She's quite a natural actor. :)

Had a wonderful night at the hotel room because the bed was so so comfortable. I only got up to pee and fell asleep almost instantly. Not a fan of super soft beds, I prefer hard ones!
After we checked out the next morning, we bought some desserts from SweetSpot, a dessert and pastry shop only available at the MBS! :x
 Their Mille Feuille is a MUST-TRY, I LOVE IT. 

Well, on a side note, school has started and look at these cute gifts I got from Hummy from Korea! :x



 Mixed feelings about school, really.
On one hand I'm getting bored of the holidays,on the other, I'm really sian about the thought of projects. YET, I can't wait for the projects to start. :-/

Gah, anyways, school starting means seeing more of bb! Although we ended up in different classes, I'm glad to at least have similar lunch breaks with him, although we can't really go to school together... :(
Alright, here's a smile from the happy boy!


And me in case you missed me! (Jk)

Ending off with Tyki showing her "Are you fucking kidding me?" expression in case you missed her haha.



Goodnight! Oyasumi! Haha

Kelantan Lane CKT!

I know how much I complain about having to help out at my father's stall, yada yada. But it's usually just momentary and I'm actually quite proud of the stall because I think my parents sell yummy food! :D

Alright, shall do a short entry on what we sell. I know, it's a little too late because the stall's been opened for like a year and here I am doing a proper intro post. Anyway, whatever I will say in this post will be true and from the bottom of my heart, not just because I want to help my parents advertise or put in a good word for their food ok?

So here's the stall front, can see my handsome father cooking!
Just kidding.
K, we are located at Blk 246, Hougang Ave 3 (click to view google map)

The images on the signboards are not very accurate, so I'll show you some photos of the real dishes produced! 
Char Kway Teow $2.50/$3
The reason why my father chose to name the stall "Kelantan Lane CKT" is because we used to sell only CKT along that area and apparently business was rather good until we had to leave for some reasons. So I believe he wants to let his customers back then know that this is where he is now. And yep, some customers that patronize our stall now really had his CKT since that long ago. I remember I was like... maybe 7? So it's roughly 12 years ago. 
Personally, I'm not a fan of CKT because I've always been disappointed by how different the aroma and the actual taste is like. Nonetheless, my friends love my father's CKT! So I don't see why you can't give it a try. :) 
Besides, many customers told us that they find the traditional taste in his char kway teow... :-o
Black Carrot Cake $2/$3
I absolutely LOVE black carrot cake! Yep, I prefer black to white because it's sweeter. Especially when it's super spicy and sweet... SHIOK! 
White Carrot Cake $2/$3
Our white carrot cake is yummy too, for customers who prefer something less sweet and more fragrant. :) 
AND FINALLY....
Fried Oyster! $3/$4/$5
My parents have been to many places to sell their food but this is the first time they decided to sell fried oyster AND oyster egg. Many customers get mixed up, fried oyster is the one with flour, while oyster egg is really just oyster omelette! 
I've never been a fan of oysters until I ate my parents'! I think it's really worth a try for people who like fried oysters. Especially since the price is super affordable and reasonable compared to outside prices.

OKAY, ARE YOU HUNGRY YETTTTT? WELL, COME ON DOWN!
If you need more directions you can mail me!!!

Fallen from the sky

HI! 
It's Friday the 13th and also our 7th month today. It's really fast, seems only yesterday, we got together! just kidding, not so exaggerated la. 
Anyway Bev and I went to quite a number of places today! Which is really good because usually we're lost, like don't really know where to go for dates and stuff. We had so much fun I can't stop smiling to myself now. 

Oh and yesterday was even more unbelievable! I was hanging at his house then suddenly his father asked if we wanted to eat dinner together with him. And the dinner location is actually Trader's Hotel's Cafebiz! It's actually a international buffet spread at $75 per person and I was honestly really embarrassed to have his father spend so much on me (even though its 3 for the price of 2). Ate so much I swear I thought I'd puke that night. Anyway yea, the main point is I'm so happy to hang out with Bev's father, because it makes me feel closer to him more than ever. :) 
Sorry I didn't take pictures of the food at the buffet! Like quite impolite leh! But they have seafood (everything from crab to lobster to oyster, etc), roast duck, indian, mexican and japanese sushi as well. Oh and the chinese stuff like stir fried kai lan, pig's trotter, etc etc. Hmm, really sumptuous and worth the $75 for those big eaters! 

Ok let's get back to today. We went to Haw Par Villa. I know, I know! WHUTTT? You must be thinking huh? what a place to go for a date. But yep, it's a place I have never been to in my life and Bev only went when he was really young so we thought hey, why not? Let's just go take a look. 
It would have been better if the weather wasn't so insane. The both of us were so sweaty and sticky by the time we reached the Ten Courts of Hell exhibit which is quite near the entrance.


Didn't get what we paid for! 

Bev's always unlucky when it comes to photos. He ALWAYS blinks at the wrong time. 


Once again, I'm really impressed by iphone 4's camera. I think the sunny day made it even clearer. Of course I'm not talking about the ones taken using front camera! 



SUPER CLEAR!





We only saw the Ten Courts of Hell, Eight Immortals and Journey to the West. Reason being the hot weather was really unbearable and I'm really mostly interested in the Ten Courts of Hell. 
Well, for the few of you who haven't been to Haw Par Villa, the Ten Courts of Hell is actually an exhibit showing the different punishments you'll receive for the bad deeds that you've done in your life. It spooks me because it seems that you can get punished for almost everything, so there's no escaping. Didn't take pictures because it was kinda dark inside.. 

OH OH, and there was this mirror of retribution! It's supposed to show what you look like in your past life. I SAW SOMETHING! GO TAKE A LOOK!!!

THIS FREAKED ME OUT

牛头马面

And again, eyes closed! Haha.








八仙过海



Seriously the photos are clearer than photos taken using Canon digital camera!:-O
"WTF is the statue of liberty doing here?!"


孙悟空

猪八戒

白龙

沙悟净

孙悟空大战红孩儿!

西游记! Used to be one of my favourite shows. 


Finally, defeated by the sun, we decided to head elsewhere...


So our next stop was Holland Village! Basically we're just hanging around the stops along circle line haha. We went to Holland Village Shopping Centre but it's really just a place selling tourist stuff and offering pedi/mani, selling traditional costumes and stuff, yep. So we got bored and wandered around and it got hot again so we escaped to the MRT station again and headed to our next location.

Before our date, we agreed to try out Fat Boy's Burger Bar! 
I saw so many of my friends posting about this place so I thought it's a must-try!!! 
We went to the one beside Long House (this famous place for good food (?) ), nearest MRT station is at Marymount along the Circle Line and you can actually take 410 from the nearest bus stop then walk a short distance. 
Here's the menu! 

You can also create your own burger (a little like Strictly Pancakes! :) ) but I decided to stick to the specialty ones for today.
Bev ordered the Fat Basterd (deliberate spelling) and me, being a mushroom lover, ordered Swiss Shroom. We even ordered some Chilli Cheese Fries as sides. We expected the food to take awhile to arrive but it was quite fast! Maybe because we went early? Like around 6:30pm and there were hardly any people YET.



Fat Basterd.

Chilli Cheese Fries. It doesn't look very good but it's NOT TOO BAD. Spicy with beef bits but the fries tend to be a little too dry? Same for the chips that came with our burgers. 

I thought the food wasn't too bad, we spent like $45 with drinks and all. My burger was only $12.50, it is cheaper than Handburger! But I think the ambience at Handburger should be nicer and hopefully the service too? We didn't expect much from the service here because of the reviews we read online, but aiya, no service charge, so you can't expect much either!

After our dinner, Bev and I went to  take 132 from the bus stop near Long House to go straight to Hougang. Our next stop was Joe's Corner Cafe & Bar!
Chanced upon this place when I was playing around with wherethefuckshouldigotoeat.com so I did a little research and found out that the chocolate lava cake is popular there! 
It is located near the Punggol Nasi Lemak area, behind Domino's Pizza, to be exact. 

I ordered Latte and Bev ordered Ice Blended Toffee Coffee (?) and of course the chocolate lava cake! 
Ok it looks like a piece of charcoal here but it's really quite good. 



When I took the first bite, I thought it tasted like what I will smell whenever I step into a pet shop. Yes, it's quite weird! But then I ate it when the chocolate that oozed out and omg it was delicious! Man, should have taken a picture of it cut into half with all the chocolate flowing out... But anyway, this is worth a try as well. :) 

Went home after this, both bloated and Bev couldn't really walk HAHA. 

Had so much fun with you today bee. Can't wait for our next date :x
